KINGDOM OF 11.11 TI.

By the Sir Joseph B miter, from Cape Henry, St.
Domingo, we have ►eceaved the Boyd Grum of Hap;
of the 17th and 27th Octrber. Toe latter contauts
111 curious account of the procek..lings of the two
French vessels, which have latell'appeared oil that
Fut. These Gazettes, we understand, are };.see rally
published is few days before the departure of an Eng-
lish •:essel, and are not written so much for the perusal
of the people to whom they are addressed, as for the
readers in Europe. The Gazette says, " Early in
17th October, two vessels. a frigate and a brig, were
observed from the signal station, beating to windward;
they appeared to be men of war, belonging to the
enemy, and tearful of approaching too near to the
port. The following day they advanced within about
four kagites of Ike harbour. The Doke of Marma-
lade, the Governor of the City, repaired to Fort Pi.
cote, at the entrance of the port, in order to observe
their marieuvrer, and by their colours .soon ascer-
tained that they were French. About two o'clock
is the afternoon, the' frigate made a signal to the
brig to arproach her ; the brigs boat immediately
went aloft-side the frigate, apparently to receive
orders, but soon after returned. The frigate and the,
brig then hoisted the Haytian flag at the fore, and
the white flag at the main and miaen, and bore down
tinder full sill for Fort Piculet.
ee The Governor, presuming that these vessels
might be flags of truce, ordered the pilot to be ready
in his boat, in case they wished to enter the harbour.
•Tbe brig laid to aboUt two leagues from the Fort,
.and fired a gun. It was expected every instant that'
she amuld have lowered her boat, with a flag of truce,
in order to go and speak to the Commandant of the
Fort, and to explain the object of her mission ; but
instead of this she continued to manoeuvre, and fired
several guns. The frigate and brig having in vain
waited fur some boat from tl:e shore. made sail for
the passage of Tortuga Island. The same day a
-smell brig from the West was signalled, which was
boarded by the Frcnci: brig, whose officer, after re-
maining an board some time, left her. The vessel,
'mown to be an American, changed her,cuurae, and
toolther station off the harbour fee•seeeral dal s.--
One sight she approached so near that every body
thought she was going to cater. The pilot got under
way, but to the great astonishment et.e.vecy body the
Sheered, off. However. after hating remained
• itifoie the port for six days, she determined to enter.
. The interpreter of Cape Henry immediately re-
paired-on board, And was informed by the Captain
and supercargo that they were the bearers of two let-
ters for his Majesty the King of HAYTI, which had
been pan into their head: by the Captain of the French
brig of war, the Railleur. •He hastened to make his
report to. the Governor, who immediately went down
to
.the Ring's Wharf, in order to interrogate the
',Captain and supercargo, and to learn the contents of
the two !titers. • But what,' says this Journal.' Were
•the astonishment and indignation of the Governor,
when the-Captain end supercargo preseatealltim two
letters, Cot Countersigned, whose superscription was
At once insulting and,offensive to the Haytian
remittent, sad contrary to the usual forms. The
Governor manifested the greatest surprise and iiidig-
'nation; and told them that he wondered how AMeri-
!can's who had so long traded with Hayti, and enjoyed
.the protection of oar Governments and who, like
•outselves, had acquired liberty and independence,
could Undertake a commission so dishonourable and
preposterous. The Governor instaptty returned the
. two letters unopened, desiring that,divey. would re-
Aura them .to those from whom they bad xeCeived
themoiod quit the port. AU the boats in the harbour
were immediately set to work and }owed her cut.',
-the G#etete then says...." From the Iti4Ulting and
•offetisive supersciption of these kttets—lb &egret.

. sad contentss find of the annoyance and pride of did

jt she esnwiHiagness to enter our port, which was
..shewn by the frigate and the brig ; though they have
,riot dared to be themselves the braless of these insults
we ate grieved that they have. been able to rind two
tidier, 04 ate united States of esmerica, who could
undertake gratuitessly such a mission, winds, upon all
actountst multi isolyebeen very disagreeable to them."
We ire flinty to learn by irtters twat Cape Henry,
that tslons. Nihon. a Mast of colour,And a most re,
speruti+te native merchant, has been imprisoned by
Cie astop'bre, alai without any form of trial, or any

dicial process, has been murdered in his tourism:nut. I
His crime consisted in decltringna the King, (hiring
the heat of Mine, a swimmer affection for the Queen
than for his Majesty. Of course other pretexts have
been Alleged, but this is the real one. We also learn
that the French Priest, who has been appointed the
Archbishop, has incurred the displeasure of his Black
Majesty. The Archbish • r applied ftir a sum of
money he ha,: &posited with the King, and was im-
mediattly disgraced by having a guard put at his
door to keep him a close prisoner in his house.
Mr. Prince Saunders, with the four Gentlemen he
had engaged in England, arrived at Cape Henry on
the 21st September. The four persons are a Painter,
an. Agriculturi 4. and two Schoolmasters. The Revel
Gazelle of the 17th October states, that the Emperor
is to establish schools on the Lancaster system allover
the Isl.ind. 'rite painter, Mr. Evans, was engaged
to paint the Portraits of the Royal Family ; and the
first picture of his Maj-sty has been sent as a present
by him to Mr. Wilberforce.

HAMBURG!! MAIL.

STOCKHOLM, JANUARY S.

The official Gazette contain: the following re-
markable Letter of the S,:cretary of State for the
Finance Department, to the Guildof Merchants of
Stockholm :

•, The King has bestowed incessant care upon the
means, of preventing the depreciation of the paper
currency. Alter having, since the end of 'January,
181.5, employed considerable funds for this put pose,
his Majnay has found its the public fluids new means
to aid commerce till the exportation of the prodac-
lions of the kingdom, according to a.natural order,
is in proportion with the consequences of excessive
importalion which has been the occasion of loss both
to tile Statt am: to individuals. But before large
sums are placed at the dispoition niche Merchants,
his Majesty desires. to actpaint them with the condi.
ticns which ate connected with this assistance, and at
the same time to 'obtain some information which ap-
pears to hint to be necessary. His Majesty has, there-
fore, commanded the undersigned in commission you
io make know to the Wirth:tot* of the Capital, and
the . other staple towns of the Kingdom, what here
fulluws :

- -
" 1. Every merchant has to declare what sum in
bilk of exchange in London or Hambergh he thinks
he shall want till the end of the month or May rest,
in order to fulfil his obligations abroad. if it is
noted at the same time for what kind of imports the
debt has been contracted, then, in case the debt in bilk
of exchange exceeds the means, attention shall be had
to assist with bilk those in preference who have im-
ported articles of the first necessity, or raw materials/
for the branches of internal industry.
" 2. The payment of the bills of exchange which
shall be delivered in consequence of these declarations,
shall be made in the usual manner, and according to
the course of 'the receipt of the bills. His Majesty
however adds, the express conditione that this aid in
bills of exchange, is to be regarded as a loan only,
which may be demanded back six months after it has
,been given in good bills down for the same petiod,
and in the same foreign money as soon as the pay.'
mem made in Swedish papas currency has been swede
good again. though .wsthont reckoning interest or
expt...ses, his *Aire, sot, only bring resolved to'
defray himself the expenses arising from this,
but also to show further care for the interest
of the merchants (and in the hope which his
Majesty entertains that, the Merchants, particularly
those who export to foreign countries, will exert them-
selves to restore the Swedish productions to the value
abroad which they had some years ago), will gra-
cionsly allow all those who receive bills from this
fund to liquidate them in other bills, at any time that
it may be convenient to themselves within the six
months after the aid has been granted, and to receive
again the sum deposited, in Swedish Bank-notes, by
' which they wilt trap the advantage of all improve-
, men; in the course of exchange, and thus have an
'additional interest to cooperate, by means of prudent
operaticns, and limiting she importations of articles
not necessary in the gracious intentions of. his Ma-
jesty, and contribute to remove the fluctuations of
the Exchange.
" The above measures are to be put into execution
without loss of time, I therefore reduest you to send
me the declarations which you receive, and Same the
honour to be, tec." -

It is with much concern we refer our Readers to
the melancholy catilogOt cf disasters contained in
our Naval Intelligence from Plymouth this morning.
A great many ships have been wrecked—and among
others we lament to observe the total loss of hisyMa-
jesty's ships JASII;IM and TILLIORAPIL The whole of
the crew of the former are said by the two first se-
*ma in our list, to laic perished ; but we have
strong hopes that the statement given. io another
letter will be found correct—that at least two of the
number have been saved, the Captain (Casty)
and Carpenter, who are said to have been ori shore
at the time. The Crew of the TZLZORAPII were
happily saved.
h. • .

French Papers have arrived this morning, but
Woking over those received yestsrday, we find oat
article not yet noticed, and which may prove inte-
resting to some of our Readers. We shall only pm-
mist that the article itself furnishes the strongest evi-
dence that foreign traders had been exposed to much'
personal inconvenience, at the arbitrary will of the
Mayors and petty Magistrates. The following is she

SOUTH AMERICA.

A Boston Piper of the 19th December, mentions
the arrival of a vessel from the Spanish /stsin, with
lintelligence that Barcelona and Cumana had surren-
dered to the Patriots, mad that the city of Caraccas
bad been evacuated by the Royalists.—Tire I ilow'ng
is from the Bahisnore Patric', of the 240. Ducendwr :
" IMPORTANT. FROXI SOUTH AMERICA.....- Mr. Mac-
farlane, who came passenger in the Fli.!l4l)er, in.
forms, that the fort of Mnathlanc, which commands
the King's road near the cites of Oriziva and Cor-
dova, was captured, November 15, by a force of
2,500 Spanish Royaii.ts, by means of treachery.—
Several attacks were repulsed by the fort; but two
companies of Royalists, throwing down their arms,
anti rushing into the fort, under pretence of joining
the Patriots, having arms put into their hands by the
latter, in the night rose upon them, and, in conjunc-
tion with Vie troops without, subdued the garrison.
General Vittoria, the Patriot Commander of the Pro.
wince, was in his turn besieging the Royalists. He
had a force blockading the cities of Xalapa,Orizava,
apd Cordova.

The Royalists were advancing from Vela Cruz
•me thousand strong, open Boquilier, which is gar-
risoned by only seventy=fi►e men, and would pro.
bahly have to surrender.

The fort of Guasaloot was attacked in the month
of October last by Genet-Al TEMPI, who was defeated
with the loss of 40Q men. WILIkAhI a ROBERTSON,
EN. was killed among them."

In another column we have given some intelligence
from St. Domingo which may probably be consi-
dered as the pretnrsor of a new war for the purpose
of bringing Hayti again under the dominion of
France. We had before been informed or the fact of
a letter having been sent on chose from a French
ship of war, to the indecerows address of General
Cumin's's g but the present statement may be con-
sidered as the official statement issued by the Court
of Hayti.

While alluding to these Vac' concerns, we cannot
refrain from noticing some transactions of his sable
Majesty, which do not wear the fairest aspect. We
suspect that, with all his high ideas of honour and
independence, his MAJests is net over-well supplied
with correct ideas respecting the relations of wank
and boa. We have heard some very black stories,
which we believe are bit too well founded, and which
would disgrace any white potentate. His MAJESTY
has been in the habit of giving large orders to British
merchants and artisans; and when the goods have
arrived he has compelled them to take payment in
coffee, at his own price per. mead.' The consequence
has been. that a few months ago a very large com-
mercial house in the City was obliged to stop pay.
ments—and within these few days a most respectable
coach-builder has been ruined by the same kind of pro.,
cedure. We would remind his Majesty of HAYTI, that
honesty is the best policy. It is impossible that any
profits charged by British Traders can save them
from ruin if forced so take payment in produce at
twice or thrice its value. In Europe an order given
forgo, carriages, binds the person giving.* order
to receive them and to pay for them. Wi alsO re-
mind his MAJesTY (for we know that fte•sees the
STAR) that though. Britain can have no desire to add
to her possessions by any attempt to subjugate his
Wynne. and though he has nothing to fear from
any legal process—yet she has•the means to procure
justice to her own subjects; and that it is possible
such a visit as was lately paid to Algiers may tend
to correct some dangerous prejoacces with which his
MAJESTY seen.s to be grievously afflicted.

Mr. 11011EOT HODDILR, on whom the command of
the Comoo has devolved, is the sole survivor of the
late unfortunate expedition who penetrated into the
interior of Africa. This Gentleman (whose informa-
tion is likely to be of so much importance) is, we
understand, descended from a respectable family in
Ireland, being son to the late, and brother to the pre-
sent Gsonos Honnca, Esq. of Fountainstown-house,

City of London, and for having stolen therefrom a
quaroiiy of gut's, swords, and pistols, to the amount
of sexual hundred pounds, the property of the slid
'rho,. Rae. To this the prisoner pleaded Nut Guilty.
Mr. BoeteseD having opened the pleadings,
Mr. G HIM ZY rose in behalf of the prosecution, and
addressed the Jury. He stated, that on Monday,
the 2J of December last, a tutoultimus assemblage
'of 1- ople, fury ished with arms, had proceeded trim
some other part of the town towards the Minorie%,
wly.re they a-tacked the shop of Mr. Rae, an emi-
nent win-maker, and stole from him a large qu m-
ilty of guns, pistols, and a small fi Id.piece, toge-
ther with money and Bank-notes. During the f,er-
petretion of teis outrage, the prisoner at the oar had
appeared particularly active, brandishing a sword,
to the terror and danger of those residing in the
house. We had on Monday OCCASIOA to observe to
the Jury, in a case nearly similar to the ptesent, and
he should repeat it, subject to the correction of the
Judge, that in law, it is not necessary in substan-
tianog the guilt of a party, to chew that he had been
actually the hand wherewith the crime, was perpe-
trated. It is sullicient it he had consented by word
and action to cie commission of the crime, and had
aided and comforted those more immediately CUR.-
cenied. To instance this, the Learned Counsel re-
peated the caw he-had adduced yesterday, in which
a burglary may be committed by persoos who had
not actually entered the house, provided they be so
disposed without, as to assist and encourage those
within. If, indeed, the law were otherwise, it would
extend impunity to numherless offenders, and in
every crime, the old and experienced would be ex-
empt from punishment, as they would instigate only
the young and thoughtless to be the irnmediate agents
of the crime, and thus become the victims of their
guilt. With respect to the prisoner at the bar, the
Jury would have him identified as active among the
rioteri. by a respectable merchant of the city of Lon-
don. ,Mr. Hail, and who, if he had been assisted by.
others equally resolute as himself, would soon have
dissipated the danger, and seised on the rioters.—
This Gentleman, foreseeing the danger that threaten-
ed Mr. Rae's shop, assisted him in fastening it, and
called on the by-standers to assist hint in repelling
the aggression. The summons unfortunately was
not attended to, and the Learned Counsel comment-
ed with some severity on such criminal remissness.—
He wished it to be understood as the duty of all per-
sons to resist flagrant outrages on the peace of so-
ciety, and repeated the words of a Learned Judge,.
CM a similar occasion, " that men ought not to lie
down and die, because a regiment of soldiers was
-trot present, to protect them." The party of armed
,seen who,fiese attacked Mr. Rae's house did not ex-
ceed 15 or 16 men, and these were allowed, in a po-
,ptdeue pivot the chi, to occupy nearly an hour in
plundering the shop and house of Mr. Rae. Let the
consequences of Inch a proceeding be considered.—
, By it the most opulent man in London, if his pro-
perty consisted in hit stack in trade, might, in half
an hour, be reduced tobeggary. The prisoner was
with the mob fleurishing a sword,, but as soon as ten
or twelve soldiers appeared at the top of. the street,
therm occurred, what most ever occur in such cases,
that those who were most rapacious in. power, sink
into the most abject cowardice rn the first appear-
ance of effectual resistance—the mob dispersed, and
the prisoner having received from a soldier a blow
with the fiat part of a sword, instantly gave up his
sabre. He observed, that it this CAW were proved
.bt.wituesses, it would be for the Jury to coneider
athesber the prisoner had not opereted in the outrage,
and whether those within the house could have pro-
ceeded to the same violence, if they bad not been as-
sisted by their associates without.
The first witness called was Thomas Rae—is a
gut-maker;' his shop is Nu. 91, Minories, City of
London, and fronts the street—does not reside there,
has a private house in Ely.street I keepi no 'servant
at the'dtop during the sight—the upper part of the
Mose it lot to 11dgers. .
Hese Mr. GURNeY remarked to the Court, that
;he capital part of the charge could not be sustained.,
The witness then stated, that on the 2d .of D.:-
minim., about half past one o'clock; he saw a great
crowd attacking Messrs. Bander and POtts's house,i
in the Minories—lte immediately shut up his own
shop.. and retired to the garret, where he looked out
of the window, and saw the mob assemble opposite
his own house—he then left the house, and went to
his private house. in Ely-street, returned about three
o'clock, and saw his shop windows demolished, the
doors broke open, and missed 'property to the amount
of at least a thousand pounds. The property con-
sisted of guns, swords, pistols, blunderbusses, a field
piece, some silver, Bank notes to the amount of £7.
and SOs. worth of copper. .
• John Hall is a merchant—On the 2J of Dieern-
bee saw a mob in the Minories furnished with lire-.
EMS and swords; were firing powder in the air—
saw the prisoner' particularly active. 'lite mob broke
into Mr. Rae's house, rod carried off guns, pistols,
swords, ea:touch-boxes hung over them, and bayo-
nets appended to their sides. The prisoner was within.
four feet of Mr. Rae's house when the breaking took
place, and continued shunting and• brandishing a
sword, and pet-Jon:Sing e!..e motions of , the broad
sword exercise, with which he appeared well ac-
quainted. He was manifestly co operating with the
plunderers, and seemed to act with the intent of de-
,firfidg'any parsons from making resist•tnce.
* "fu'irquestion from the prisoner, Mr. Hall said,
bad not seen the prisoner enter the house.
Abrabirm Samuel, a constable, deposed, that het
had ialifi'the prisonee, not only flourishingthe sword,
but also taking pistofi out of the shop wibdow, and
distributing them to the'erowd.
John Wilton, s private in the First Life Guards.
deposed, that he had aeon the prisoner flourishing a
sword, and that be bad stood-while the rest of the
crowd dispersed. Witness desired him to lay down
the sword, and, on his refusal, struck him with the
Rat of him own swbrd, ou which the ptiamer to-
gently threw down his artist. •
Townes Branscomb, a valuable. apprehended the
prisooer at, Nortidleet, on the 10th of December.

Prisoner then acknowledged his havitif been in the
crdwde but denied diskette bad carried arms...
The prosecution having closed, the. prsaner, in.,
his defence, stared, that on the 2d of December he'
had been drinking half a pint of rim in a public-
house, and passing through the itlinories met the
crowd, when a men put a sword into his band. He
flouriehed the sword, but diti no harm to any one.
He knew no person in London, and those who could
give him a good character were absent. •
Mr. Justice eitruitoucti charged the Jury. of serv.
ing with Mr. Guresey, that participation in a crene
might be suhstantiaied without provingthe prisoner
to have heen tee beret that committed the effenee.
lie ir.stanced cases of burelary and murder, wlitrein
411 persons in any respect eacouraging or corn:orting
the actual perpetrator ut the crime, were deemed
principal offerders. And this doctrine, laid down
by the law, was in every respect consonant to come
moil sense.
The Learned Judge then receilltuleted the evi-
dence, and die Jury, without leaving the hue, brought
in their verdict—Guilty of stealing to the vela: ut
41h. but net ail a dWdillg•llnUae.
William was indicted for having in his'
possession one pistol, the property ot Thomee Rae,
knowing tfe same to have been stolen.
Mr. boat-anti opened the pleadines.
Mr. GuitNite stated the case. He observed, that
the offence with which the prisoner was charged
amounted only to single larceny. and therefore his
life was not hazerded. It was for having in his pin- I
session a stolen pistol, and offering it fur pledge. In I
this it would not be necessary to enter at any.kngth.
nor trace the property through the several stagei
from the robbery, to the moment of its having been
offered for pledge, it was for the prisoner to shew
that he had acquired it honestly. It stolen property
be fiend on a person atter a considerable lapse of
time, the presumption against him is weakened by
that circumstance ; but it the robbery has been re-
Cent, the presumption is very much strengtnened,
and is tendered irresistible if a false account be given.
The robbery, in the present case had been commit-
ted on the 2J of December. The pistol was offered
for pledgebn the 4th of January, the prisoner had
stated that he had been a naval officer's servant. and
had received the pistol from his neater. It trns be
true, lie might bring forward his *nester to eubsten-
date it; • but, it take, why was this false pretence
,set up ?
Thomas Rae was called, who stated that on the
2d el December he hed lost tee pelf of pistols.
On Isis cross-examination by Mr. Ctiawooo, he
said, that he lied not distinguished the pr.suiter among
the rioters at his house,
Joseph Delaney, a pawnbroker, deposed, that the
prisoner had offered tho pistol to him in pledge.
Jos. t'owis, a police *dicer, deposed, that he had
arrested the prisoner, and produced the pistol.
Thomas Rae again called, identltid the pistol,
both by its having his own name on the batrel, and
by the locks, which had formerly belonged to a
ver-mounted Pair of pistols that had been stolen from
him. Tile silver had been taken off, and the stocks,
locks, and barrels tied together, and thrown into the
Thaines, and had been afterwards taken up and re-.
turned to him. The locks he had put to another
pair of pistols, of which that in Court was one, and'
by the lock he particularly recognised it.
James Fell was clerk at the lhernes Police oSce.
where the prisoner, on his apprehension, was brought
for examination. The pawnbroker attended end ,
pro-
duced the pistol. The prisoner, on being asked how'
he came by it? said, that he received it from Lieu-
tenant Pryor, of the Montagu, 74, and that when
they wept .to Algiers, to demand' the slaves, the
things were all thrown about, and in the cuittusion
the fellow pistol. to this was lust. The. Lieutenant
brought them on boird two years and a half ago.
He was then, he said, at Chichesier. The prisoner
stated diet he was in London during the riots, but
did not recollect where* was oa that day. Used to
attend clubs, btu did not lately. The Lieutenant
gave him the pistol with othet things, such as a coat,
bed forniture• a his cabin, and other little things,
worth about £SO
The ease.for the prosecution was here closed, and
the prisoner, on being called upon fcr his defence,
saittethat hid nothing to add to whet Jr Wit
utgedat his examination before the Magistrate. lie

Mr. Justice Pink summed up the evidence teethe
Jury. After stating the terms of the indictment, he
observed, that although the case was devoid of those
points of aggravation which belonged to others, it
was yet otte calling for their *triune consideration.—
lt was a clear principle, that when stolen property
was found in the pos.ession of a party, that party
WAS bound to give a satisfactory accoutitof the man-
ner in which he obtained it. or else to incur a suspi
cion of the charge. It was for the Jury to consider
how far the owner's story of receiving it from
Lieutenant Pryor was likely to be true or not. It
seemed, Ito ever, rather singular that the Lieutenant,
eliould give inch a thing as a pistol to his servant ;
one could easily suppose the.propriety of his giving
bin. his cabin bed when it was no longer lICCUtsiAly.
There was this strong circumstance against the psi-
soner, that he said before the M .....ag_stiate he had the
pistol two months ago, when the ship was paid off,
though it was clear from Mr. Rae's evidentc that the
pistol was at that time in Mr. Rae's shop.
The Jury, atter a short consultation, returned a
;verdict ot—Guilty of the simple larceny.
Joke Harmon was indicted lot stealing a gun, valise
£2r), the property of Thomas Rae. These was a
second coma, charging him with stealing a gun, the
property ot Benjamin Appal.
. .
Mr. GURNSY stated the case to the Jury. He de-
tailed Anew the whole proceeding's of the rioters in;
their attack upon Mr. Rae's shop. There was, how-
ever; this dietinction, in the case, that the prisoner
.was slut seen either in the shop of Mr. Rae, or in
front a kt—he'fins, however, stopped with the gun•
about one.heashred yards from the shop—the prisoner
then sated, that he found the gun in.the street.—
Now, it was quite clear, that no wan could take such
an •article, the property. of another, without commit-
ting the crime of felony. It was important for him
so account for the winner' in which he became pee-
imed thene gun. The Learned Cote tel then de-
tailed nature Of` theevidence he bad to adduce
