CONSUL. American Papers were received in town yesterday, up to the 31st July.; they contain scarcely any thing of importance. Captain M`LAit EN, %vim arrived at New-York on the 29tli July, from Cape Francois, after a passage of eight days, relates that Gen.Lr.cl:EßC had ordered an additional duty of s per cent. on all goods exported from St. Domingo, making a total duty of zs per cent, ; that reinforcements of Troops were daily arriving from France ; that the fever still raged with great violence among the Troops ; that out of nearly seventy Generals who came out with the Army, not more than twenty-five remained, the remainder having been almost all .cut ofF by the fever ; that General LECLERC was on the eve et returning to France, and was to be succeeded by General M'DoNALv ; that American produce was in general very low ; and that flour was selling eight dollars per barrel: Mr. Fox, in the bombastic manner of the French, is styled the First Man in England. and the expression is here echoed by those who °till ha v c a wish fin- Revolution in this Country. It would be of little consequence, indeed, what became of this Country, if Mr. Fox were really the First Man in it.  Mr. Fox chuses to forget, and BONAPARTE probably never heard of the Anti-Gallican sentiments which that Gentleman formerly uttered in the House of Commons, when it suited his rirpose. When the Commercial Treaty with France was proposed in the House of Commons, some sixteen years ago, Mr. Fox opposed it, on the ground of its allying us too closely with .France ; a Country, of which he. said, we should ever entertain a' distrust, and against which we should ever encourage a National i'sntipathy, We do not wonder that a kind of sympathetic feeling should exist between the (worth) Alderinan COMBE and the FIRST CONSUL of France. They both attained the Chief Magistracies in the. Metropolitan Cities of the respeetive Countries on the same day, namely, November gth, 1799. According io report, Monsieur NECKAR and Monsieur de CALONNE, who have long been at Literary Loggerheads, have resumed.the pea, deter.. mined. to fight the matter out. One accuses the either of having ruined the Fine/neer of France: the Other retorts the charge, and, in addition, alledges that his adversary's_ bungling spirit of Democracy overturned the Governient of France, and occasioned the murder of it 4 Sovereign. Much may be said .on both sides.  The uncertainty of all human affairs is strikingly exemplified in the relative state of France and Turkey. Two or three years ago France endeavoured to dispossess Turkey of its most valuable 4,,pendi,ges, and now they loive entered into a Convention, in which it is agreed that " Hostilities ;shall, for she future, and for ever, cease between the two States ! !! " We learn from Cudelalore the death of Captain ANDREW KERR, aged 76, formerly of the Country Service, but better known by the name of the Old Commodore. He was born at Fort St. David's, abOut the year 1726. In his Will he direded his body to be interred in is particular spot of his garden, without ceremony or service. His con bad. lain for many years in hissodown (warehouse), and was made use of as a liquor chest. The Earl of ROSLIN has recently taken a considerable tra'sq of land under his oWn immediate cultivation ; the arable part of it he intends to apportion equally to the broad-cast.and drill modes of hobandry, thus to ascertain, by a course.olcorrea experiments, which of the two is, on the. whole, the more advantageous praesieid system. t Isley Fair, llcrks, on Thursday, the number of sheep ;sod iambs was nearly, the same ls 'in former years (about 30,000), but not .above pne-third. of them were sold, t119“31) the prices came down .s. heac.3. cheaper 01;m at any ether Fair this year.
