LONDON, May to. We received this morning tiic Paris p ipers Thursday laih The/ contain a confirmuion, if indeed a confirmation were wanting, of the unfavorable difpo. fit ions of France towards our commerce. The Mmilters of Police, and the Interior, in confluence of a report having gone abroad that English merchandise, par. ticularly English Pottery, was to be im ported into France, have published two letters, formally contradiding the ru in oqr ; dating, that the law for prohi biting the importation of English manu factures continues to be in full vigour; and declaring that frefh orders have been Jivcn to the officers of the cufloms to a opt the mod vigilant measures, not on ly to prevent all importation of English produce, but to difeover the depots of iuch merchandise as may have already been introduced. Under iuch circumdance of prohibition and under other circumdanccs which wc arc about to mention, it is not to be won. dcred that the docks have fallen. There ate several causes to which that fall is to be imputed ; fird, the hodiljty of France to our tradej fccondly, the debates jupon the Definitive Treaty, and the fears to which they have oiven rife, that it may not be of long continuance; thirdly, that at this advanced period, the middle of May, the prompt payments upon the Loan have been very trifling—that twen ty five millions ilcrling in dock remain to be consumed, and that the intered money abroad is so much higher than it is here. The debate, and the diviiion, upon fir Francis fiurdect's motion evinces that a connexion exists between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Addington, to a further extent than 1 they acknowledge in public, and the lat ter is in a great degree dependent on the farmer,—The whole miniderial phalanx took as earned a part in Mr. Pitt's be. half as if he had dill been their leader. * Eveyt; panegyric on him was cheered— every alTertion in his favor extolled, and the division was just fnch as if the mini dcr had exerted himfclf on the occasion. SALEM, June 25. > OF GUADALOUPE— Iati. ' \ xtrad of a letter from BaJJ'eterre t dat. f. , V ed May $l. Since my lad, things have taken a wvorable turn here, Delgres with 300 i fJhis adherents have blown themfclves up Aftheir magazine at Matouba ; amongst them were several white people, prisoners. *yAt Matouba , a great many have been murdered; amongd them, old Lafond arnd his son, Refeau % &c. Iguace, after ~/ittacking the Point, and failing in his ’■ attempt, blew out his brains. Kirnven did the lams at Matouba. At present, of the leaders, there is Majfoto , and a Negro, the former commandant of the Point , but they are without means of re filhnce. One of the ring leaders was hung yederday on the Course; he was the negro that disarmed the national guards ; he died firmly, and told the Ge neral he expefted no mercy, and all he was sorry for was, that he had not mur dered more of the whites when it was in his power. The taking of Matouba was very leverc the aftion commenced at 4 o’clock in the morning, and they were surrounded at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when they blew themselves up. It cost the whites 500 men killed and wounded. At Point Petre f two days palt, they shot 150 negroes, taken under arms. Hefre, the Court Martial has condemned only one as yet, owing to the hurry ot busi ness, and perhaps for other reasons, as the General has iflued a proclamation for bidding any whites of the Colony de nouncing any blacks or colored people; no doubt he has political rcafons for it. After summing up the foregoing represen tation, you will fee it is my opinion that you may return in fafety ; but you may alfocxped, from the lituation of the Co lony and the many negroes yet in the woods, that the fervicc of the national guards wiU’bc very severe and,-conftant. It is fupaofcd Rego, John, Levey , the former Captain of the Port, and Monero y Delg res' will be hung to-morrow.” A BriiiflLpacket arrived at Martinique the sth inftjprlnging intelligence that a fleet had faifthl from France with 11,000 troops on boara, bound for the Wind ward 1 (lands, and tW they had then been 32 days on their^jaflage—Martinique is to be delivered up|p the French on the 27th July—an event which is regretted by ma ny of the who fear that the present tranquility will not be permanent, and that new feenes of distress await the long aftiided islanders. Num bers of the Biltilh merchants were prepar ing to leave the illand on accouniofits approaching relloration to France, The bueft accounts from Guadeloupe were, that * I the negroes at Baftatcfrc had been con- 1 pletely quelled. # They would have held out longer, had not their provisions failed. The inhabitants who had fled to the Saints, Dominique, &c. were returning, with confidence in the firm eftabliihment of the French power. NEW.YORK, July 3. It will amaze our readers to be inform * ed that Buonaparte has at lad reached the acme of his ambition. Before this time, we presume, he has been declared perpe tual Consul. We found this opinion up ' on a printed handbill received at the of fice of the Mercantile Advertiser last even, ing from Havre by the fliip Herkemer, of which the following is a translation. Not having our regular file of French papers we arc unable to afeertain upon what pretext tho Government has judged itneceflary to adopt a measure so aftonilh ingly bold, perhaps so pregnant with danger. In our next, it is probable, we may have it in our power to present the public with some particulars refpeding this very important circumstance. \ NOTICE. The Mayor of Havre informs the in habitants of this city that the Regtjier pre ferred by the arrete of the Consuls of the 20 th infant, to colled the votes of the citizens upon this quefiion , {hall Napoleon Buonaparte, be Consul for life ? are opened at the Secretary's office of the Municipality , and vuill be closed the 3d of next month. Similar Regifers are likevoife to be 0- pened at the Secretary's office of the Sub prefecture, at the Reg'Jlry of all the Tri bunals, and at the office of the Notaries. At the city-hall of Havre , the 2sth Floreal,* year 10 of the French Republic. Serv, Mayor, Taveau, Secretary. • 1 sth May. Last evening arrived at this port the Ihip American, Sherry, in 40 days from 1 Liverpool, having performed her voyage, in go days. She brings London papers to the 17th May, inciufive. An intel ligent gentleman, who came passenger, informs us it was the general opinion in England that a diflblution of Parliament would take place about the middle of June, and that Mr. Pitt (who was be coming very popular) would be reinstat ed in the premierfliip. A fubfeription for a statue in honor of the Ex Minister was opened and very liberally supported. Mr. Addington, it was rumoured, would be called up to the House of Peers. Debates on the Definitive Treaty con tinue to occupy a great part of the En glilh News-papers; and the eledion of Buonaparte, to the ConfuKhip for life, gives rife to much political speculation. France, our informant adds, persists in the interdiction of Britifli manufactures, and employes her influence to produce the fame effed with those powers over which file has any controul. Bafinefs at Lon don and Liverpool very dull in conse quence of the Peace. PHILADELPHIA, June 18. The purchasers of Georgia Lands are informed, that the (late of Georgia has ceded all her claims to the lands aforefaid to the United States j and that by the ceflion, the term of one year only, from the time of making thereof, is limitted for the government of the United States to fettle with the purchasers ; and that the commiflioners appointed by the go vernment of the United States, have ex prefled their willingness to treat immedi ately with the purchasers, on terms of compromise, agreeably to an ad of con. grefs, authorifing them so to do. [Poulfon's Am. Daily Adv, ExtraCl of a letter dated Edinburg , March, to a citizen of Philadelphia. ** The reign of terror is now over with us, and we can speak and write without being taken up for sedition, fincc Mr. Pitt was forced to resign and make way for a peace, “ I rejoice to fee liberty enjoy a clear Iky and funfliine on your fide of the wa ters. It appears by the debates in our parliament, that the exports from England to America were about seven millions of pounds sterling last year, and Scotland and'lreland three millions, in all ten mil lion. This, let me tpil you, gives not that credit which you claim for Ameri can ingenuity and industry. I forefee you will be drained of your specie, other causes arising out of the late war, will contribute to it, and it you do not be come adive in providing an internal trade for yourselves, you will become mere tri butaries to the fadories of Europe, though poffeiling such abundant means of provisi on for your wants and fuperfluities.

Some hare been brought by a ftiip from New-York to Greenock, and they have been a profitable remittance, so that 1 iuppofe your banks will soon feel the bad effects of this drain, if they are not di rected to the promotion of your domestic trade and industry.” July 3. FROM GUADALOUPE. By the arrival on Friday lait at this port, of the brig Hiram, capr. Dove, in 27 days trom Point Petre, (Guad.) the following information has been received : “ I fuppofc you have already heard of the fate of Guadaloupe. The blacks have burnt and destroyed the principal part of the plantations j only five have escaped in Grande Terre. They have even de stroyed the cotton and coffee trees, by pulling them out of the ground by the roots, or cutting them down—When 1 failed, and after the battle of Baubridge, the blacks had generally taken to the woods in the adjoining country. The aCfion, which took place the 26th May, begun about 8 o’clock in the morning, and continued unremitted until 5 in the afternoon, when the French carried the fort, and took 200 prisoners. Three hun dred blacks efcapcd and reached the woods. In this aCtion there were 200 blacks kil led, and of the whites 100 killed and wounded. The Trench immediately Jhot all the prisoners in the public fquare, — Pelage was second in command during the aCtion, and indeed he is in every engage ment very conspicuous. The white inhabitants were leaving the iiland with great precipitation. A great sickness rages in the French army. Out of the 4.4.44 men who cameout'from France, half were either dead or in the hospi tal; and indeed unless reinforcements soon arrive the blacks will certainly polfefs the iiland./ American vessels are not fuffered to bring from Guadaloupe, cotton, sugar or coffee. They are absolutely limited to rum and molasses. It is certain, that for Tome years to come Guadaloupe will yield but little produce, either to France or to the Americans. .• The government of Guadaloupe take the American cargoes, of which they stand in need, at their own price, and arc to pay them one half in produce, and the o ther half in bills on Buonaparte. Mr. Jones, our consul, was about fail ing from Guadaloupe, the government hav ing refufed to accept him.” CHARLESTON, July 8. By the arrival of the schooner Diana from the Cape, we learn that Touffaint with his wives, children, aids, &c. were all sent to France by general Le Clerc ; they failed about twenty days before cap tain Mead left it. Ever since the arrest of Touffaint, every thing had been very tranquil in St, Domingo j a great num ber of planters were returning to their plantations, and the towns in the iiland were building up very faft. The yellow fever was very prevalent at the Cape a. mongft the troops and foreigners, and many officers and soldiers fell victims to it. WARRENTON, June 28. We understand nine negroes were exe cuted in Bertie county on the 16th inst. and that three were to be executed in Martin about the fame time. A negro man has also been condemned to be exe cuted at Halifax this day, for conspiracy j but is expefted to be reprieved. Many have been seized in Hertford and Walh ington counties; but no confirmation is received ot the news refpefting encamp ments or numerons assemblages of armed Haves : We hope they exist only in the timid imaginations of those who gave rife to the reports.
