We learn that Mr. p ntended leaving London theenfuing »’ *er for France, on his return to the »ted Start*. One of the moH important circumHances we have to announce is, the suspension of payment itx specie, at the Bank of England. On the sth ult. the Premier opened the budget. The sum required for the ser vices of the current year, is Hated by him at twenty-fix millions five thousand pounds, which is provided for by a loan on the terms as mentioned in the opposite page. He likewise required provision to he made for paying the intereH of ninc ty-feven millions additional debt, amount ing ro 3,200,000!. for which he took three leading dalles of objefts of taxati on, viz. An inercafe of two millions on malt, hops and beer; one million from an increase and modification of the affclT. ed taxes; and one million from the ex parts and imports. In the course of his fpcech on this fubjeft, lie mentioned that it was the in r enrion of the government to difeharge the National Debt, and that the raeafares which had been- adopted, would produce that effeef in forty.five years. LONDON, April 1. Lord Cornwallis landed at Dover from Calais, at four o'clock yeflerday after noon. Lord Whitworth is making every ne ccffiiry preparation for his speedy depar ture for France. April 10. We underfiand it is at present the in tention of government to ratify the Deft nittvc Treaty of Peace on Monday, and dispatch it to Paris. It will probably there meet the ratification of Spain return ed back from Madrid, which with the ratifications of France and Holland, may be expeded there about the end of the week. In about ten days after lord Whitworth will set out for Paris. In announcing that the final arrange, tnenj of tgcneral Peace is so near at hand, it is with much pain we give to thfc pub lic any information tending to damp their joy. We received private advices from the continent yeflerday, which, in addi tion to the contents of the public papers, leave very little doubt that the flames of war juH extinguished in the WeH of Eu rope are on the eve of being rekindled in thcEaH. We are assured the event which every one has so plainly forefeen is on the point of taking place ; that the Partiti on of the Turkish Empire is agreed upon, and that Buonaparte has succeeded in persuading Russia, AuHria and Pruflla, tempted by the profped of agrandize meut, to enter into his views. It is poflihle that Mr. Bafiett, the mefienger, brought official intelligence of this to our Mini Her a few days ago* We under Hand Russia and AuHria, will immediately in vade the Turkish dominions. This intelligence comes by a private channel; but it reHs on good authority, and is Hrongly supported by the contents of Foreign journals. From the French German and Dutch mails, received ye‘- * flerday, we have made extrafts under the head “Turkish Empire," which will en- able our readers to judge haw far cur o pinion is founded. It appears, the French • miniftcr at Constantinople, received idif patches of great importance ; that the English Miniftcr at Vienna received a meflengcr, from Constantinople with dis patches of great importance also ; the Grand Seignior and the Divan, expefted ’ the ultimatum of England with impaM. .ence, as it was reported Austria and Ruf fta had agreed to seize upon her Weftern Provinces, which are in a state of anar " chy ; that the Archduke Charles had call ed from his hermitage Field martial Co. bourg, and is busily engaged with him in organizing the army; that the Austrian troops at Hungary are in motion, and their designs of seizing upon several Turk ish proyipces is no longer doubtful; that 24,‘dbb' , mfen in Transylvania alone ; that diifncron) Austrian armies are alfembling r in Eastern Gallicia to seize Moldavia; and that cordons df troops are on the frontiers of Bosnia and Sfervia, which are to co-o perate ' with Ruffian troops destined to take pofleflion of the Turkifli towns of Bender and Aikarjnan. While these for. midable measures are pursuing against the Turks, they are embroiled with the En glish on account of the maffacte of the Beys. The Turkish empire left alone, and attacked as it will be by all the great military powers of Europe, must fall ; Buonaparte will then obtain his objefts, Egypt and Greece, in defiance 1 of the Britiih marine. If be cannot reach them by sea, he will by land: and the very pretext will be used by the great military powers for partitioning Turkey, which they lately used for their attempt to par tition France. The ** d'f order , and confufton , will be found so great, as to threaten the very exiftencc of civil so ciety ; no regular government” will be able to exist, uulefs the Turks are reduc ed, and the fcencs ailing in Poland, at tempted in France, will be repeated in the territories of the Ottoman Porte. All these powers want is dominion; prin ciples and morality are mere cants. Since they find by “ the rcfult of experience and the evidences of fails” that they cannot 1 obtain it in France—why—a slice of Tur key will do as well, t Should a general attack upoft the Tur kilh empire be made, what part will England take I Ten years ago Mr. Pitt delired, and parliament voted it too! that we (hould go to war with Ruflia rather than allow the ceflion of a Angle Turkish town to her. Will England now fee the whole empire broken up, Greece, Egypt taken, India threatened i In the Definitive Treaty, England gua rantees the integrity of the Turkish em pire against France ; but France in the firft inltance will probably not interfere. Russia and Austria will do the business while France and Prussia will receive their dividend of the spoil.—Or even should France interfere, (he will no further vio late the Definitive Treaty refpedling Turkey, than (he has done the prelimi naries refpefting the integrity of Portu gal ; a (lep to which minilters have sub mitted. Perhaps Mr. ’Addington allud ed to this approaching war, when in con cluding his speech on the budget, he ex prefled a hope of preserving peace, by fleering clear erf the quarrels of other na tions. According to the latcft letters rested at Vienna from Constantinople, the&jCfe tary of the firjtifh -legation, Mr. StKat ton, is fafely arxiytpl in Egypt, where divisions continue to prevail between the Turks and the natives, in confeqnence of the unfortunate maffacte of the Beys,' . Letters received from Bourdearfx state, that on the arrival of Mr. Nappcr Tandy at that’port, he was treated with marked diftinftion, having been waited upon by the Commander in Chief, General Dufour, with whom, and the whole of the Etat Major, he dined the day after he landed. TRENTON, May 18. The ** Hudson Gazette a federal pa per, in the (late of New-York, fays— Never has Republtcanifm been so com pletely manifefted in this state as at the lad cledlion: Both Houses are now decidedly Republican.” Another paragraph in the fame paper fays—“ It is afeertained that about three, fourths of the Aflembly will be genuine Republicans; and thus has Republican ism triumphed more completely at the last election than on any former occafion.’* WASHINGTON CITY, May 31. Ycfterday the President of the U nited States arrived from Monticcllo. A letter to the Editor, received by the Dyett, arrived yetterday from New-Or- Icans, mentions, that advices had been received there, that the province of Looi * fiana, was to remain under (he Spanish -\ jurifdidlion—an intelligence highly grati fying to the refidente in that place. The »v governor had granted pcrmifllon for ino- ■ eolation, which had been at firft prohi bited ; this indulgence had abated the fa tal effcfts of contagion, and fears and ap preheaftons of further fatality began to subside. N, r. D> Ad. NORFOLK, May 13. We deemed it prudent heretofore to be filcnt on this intcrefting fabjeft, in'order that a more complete difeovery of the meditated plot might be made; but as it is generally believed that it has been difeo vered in its commencement, lilence is con-~ fidered ro L r ncccfl'arv :we therefore lay before our readers such fafts as we have been able to col left from sources deemed authentic, and from our own knowledge. For forae months past information from various quarters had been conveyed to the civil and military authorities of the bo rough, that an tnfurreftioa was in con templation, and that it was to take place during the Easter hollidays. All accounts agreed in flaring, that the signal of re volt was to be given by setting fire to the town. The various informations re ceived, did not, however, appear fuffi. ciently well founded to apprehend any of thole fufpefted. Strong patroles were ordered to reinforce the ordinary watch, and every precaution taken to guard a gainst mifehief. On the Thursday before Easter Mon day, a negro fellow was taken up (for want of having a pass) on his way from Princcfs Anne to this town, who gave information that three negroes (two of whom arc now under sentence of death, the other has not been as yet tried) had solicited him to join in setting the town on fire on Easter Monday night. No thing could be m:re clear and positive than his testimony. Several were named by the above three as being also concern ed, and taken up; but as no proof hut hearsay evidence appeared against them, they have been difeharged. The fate of the unfortunate wretches, (Jeremiah and Ned) who are to be exe cuted to-morrow, will be a fufficient warning to the rest of those deluded peo ple, who, upon a moment’s refteftion, must be fatisfied, that from the iqilitary strength of this place, all their wicked attempts must end in their own ruin. Letters from Halifax and Charlotte counties inform, that nightly meetings were very general among the negroes Tn the above counties; that quantities of arms and ammunition have been found con cealed ; that numbers of the ringleaders have been taken up, seven of whom have been. sentenced to death, and immediate execution: Throughout the whole erf' the state of N. Carolina (particularly the lower counties) infurreftion among those mifereants seems to have been very gene ral ; which leaves us no room to doubt but a horrid maflfacre of the whites was intended by the negroes of this and the adjoining dates. RALEIGH, June 1. Mare about the NEGROES. A gentleman who last week pasted thro’ the lower copuifes of North Caroli na, informs that the people in general are much alarmed at the conduft of the ne groes ; that nightly patroles of horse and '■* foot are regularly kept, and that num- V . bersofthe deluded wretches are in con linemen t. On Saturday the t jth inst. there were two negroes tried at Camden, found guil ty, and executed on the evening of the fame day. At Currituck two more were hanged on Wednesday last and it is ex pected that many wilffaffet at Elizabeth City, the jail of which place, is full of ne groes, whose trials cdmcon'this week. An attempt to liberate those in Eliza beth City jail was made last week, by fix stout negroes, mounted on horseback ; four of the fellows 'frere '"taken, the other two made their efv:ape. One of the Magttt rates at Elizabeth City, sent us the-Tollowing depofuion, to which we give* an early insertion ; Mingo , the property of Jesse Reding, on oath declares, That at Old Wile’s houfc (JohnftoneV Quarter) five weeks past last Sunday, he heard Tom Copper fay, that he was the General to command this county, in a plot to kill the white peo ple, and that he Tom Copper offered a paper to all to ftgn that would join him : and that he, the deponent, saw John ftone’s Lawrance, David, Big Charles, Old Will, Swans’s George, Old London, Jack , Falling's Dick, Kelfe's Jacob, Pendleton’s Aaron and JtJfc and Red ding’s Drew, ftgn it 1 that this depon nent had been to Tom Copper's* camp in company with Johnftone's David last * This fellow, we arc told, has a camp in one of the fvvamps, and is out la wed.
