The Statesman.
London, England, 1820-12-09 00:00:00

meets the ear ;

The accounts which arrived yesterday relative to
the death of Cuatsvorue, appear entitled to credit.
That which had come by the way of Baltimore teemed
doubtful, on account of the date to which it referred
the event. It was not, however, in July, but in Oc-
tober, that the event is now said to have oecnrreil.
The death which the sable Chief inflicted on
hituself was characteristic of the violent and dread-
ful temper which had distinguished many of the
passages of his life. His yoke, at last, appears too
heavy to be borne ; yet several of the institutions
he hail founded in his State, evince a disposition for ;
the improvement of the people. By his death, an
easy passage is opened for the ambition of Borcad
whoThas long aimed at the supremacy of the whole
of St. Domingo, and who it is liaised will profit and
learn wisdom from the errors of his rival. We are
happy to find, from the American papers received this
morning, that some people of that continent, so far
from deeming the late, events in that islasul un-
favourable to its o.rn welfare, or to that of the
neighbouring States, are already speculating
on the prospect it Word, of a better and securer
settlement for their people of colour. Other Ame-
rican papers, however, in tlie tone of The thilacle.-
phis Gazette, quoted yesterday, even to the I WI of
last month, retained the doubts they had previously
expressed respecting the circumstances to which we
bare alluded ; as appears in the following extract
which was put into our hands since we commenced the
present article:—
, "We dolibt the correctness of the information reported
by Captain MasoN from St Domingo. On the 25th
ult. the schooner Lydia and Mary arrived at this port
from Cape Henry. The Captain, SutrerN, did not
report any of the circumstances now mentioned by
Captain M.tsox. Captain SIIIPPirI must hare left
Cape Henry about the same time that Captain Man'
; left Port an Prince. It is not probable that the ee-
lported revolt of the troops at St. Marks should be
; known at Port au Prince, and not known at Cape
Henry. St. Marks is about equidistant from Port an
Prince, the capital of Buyer, and Cape Henry, time
capital of Christophe."

A numerous meeting was on Tuesday held at the
Swan Inn, Chichester, at which it was determined to
present an address to various Noblemen connected with
the county of Sussex, for their parliamentary conduct

city of Chichester, received twenty signatures niore
than that to the King, of the city and neighbourhood.
A very numerous and respectable meeting of the
