Rome, May 25.—The King of Sardinia arrived here on the 22d instant, with his whole suite, escorted by a detachment of pontifical dragoons. He alighted at the Palace Colonna, where every preparation had been made to receive him, and where a guard of honour attended, with colours fiving, and drums beating. Next day his Majesty repaired to the Quirinal Palace, where the whole secret chamber were as sembled, and where he was received by his Holiness with every demonstration of the tenderest friendship. The day after, his Halizes returned the visit to his Majesty. Scarcely had the Holy Father alighted from bis carriage, when his Majesty attempted to kiss his feet, but his Holiness raised him cp, and hastened with him into his apart ment, where he had a long conversation with his Majesty.

They state, upon the authority of an American captain, that the town of Basseterre had been burnt, and that the houses on the plantations were in flames. This wants confirmation. Genoa, June 9.-We learn from good authority, that the First Consul has appointed Citizen Cattaneo, the present Minister of our Republic at Milan, the First Magistrate of our future Definitive Government, with the title of Doge. This Citizen is generally esteemed, and was one of the Members of the Provisory Government appointed by Buonaparté in 1797. Vienna, June 9.-On its being notified to our Court by the French Ambassador Champigny, that the First Consul Buonaparté would be immediately elected Consul for life, his Imperial Majesty instructed his Ambassador to the French Republic, the Count de Cobenzel, to congratulate beforehand the First Consul, and to declare to him, that this important event would be so. much the more agreeable to his Majesty, as he was persuaded it would have a great influence over the duration of the general peace. June 12.-We have the pleasure to announce that his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles is better, and that there is ground for hoping that his health will be re-established in a short time. Berlin, June 15.-We have received the intelligence of the arrival of the Emperor of Russia at Memel. The details of the entrance of their Prussian Majesties into Memel have been read here with much atten United States of America.-Philadelphia, tion.

When their Ma- | jesties arrived in the city, they were received by the principal civil and military officers and all the clergy. Hague, June 16.-The Government is distributing to several persons allotments of Jand on the coast of Guinea, on condition that they shall clear and cultivate them, and pay annually to the state a trifling ground rent, proportioned to the tract they may occupy. The same measure will be adopted with respect to the colony of the Cape; and there is not the least doubt that Germany will furnish a sufficient number of adventurers to people those fertile countries, the productions of which must so abundantly reward the labours of the cultivator. numerous June 19.-The Government has placed its seal those presses from whence issued upon libels against many eminent functionaries of the Republic, and against different foreign powers. Berne, June 19.-Although the constitution has not been accepted throughout the whole of Helvetia, the Little Council have already proceeded to take measures as if they were sure of its being adopted. It has decreed, that the new senate shall speedily assemble; the members are to assemble at Berne on the 29th of this month. Notwithstanding this, there exists an opposition, which, although it certainly forms the minority of Helvetia, yet has sufficient energy to throw considerable obstacles in the way of the new constitution. The small Cantons, which are the cradle of Helvetian liberty, still preserve that spirit of independence which distinguished the character of the companions of William Tell. They have rejected the new constitution. The Cantons of Schwiz, Uri, and Unterwalden, have unanimously voted against it. In Glaris and Appenzel, there was a great majority against the constitution, and there is some reason to apprehend that this spirit of opposition will extend itself to the other Cantons of Switzerland. June 21.-The results of the votes of eight Cantons, on the subject of the constitution is, that 138,485 have accepted it, 40,236 having inscribed their acceptance, and 98,249 having tacitly accepted it, and 18,903 have rejected it. In the Canton of Argau, there were 6,336 written acceptations, 6,412 tacit acceptations, and 1,793 have rejected it. public, on the report of the Minister of the Interior, made the following decree: Art. I. There shall be established an entrepôt for foreign merchandize in the port of Marseilles. II. The entrepôt shall be for all kinds of goods and articles, the entry of which is or shall be prohibited, as well as for those which do or shall require a certifi cate of the place of their manufacture, and 2dly for the following articles. Manufactured goods of every description, (different kinds of soap are to be comprized in this denomination,) leaf tobacco, salt fish, wines, brandies, liqueurs, oils, sugars, coffee, indigo, cocoa, and all other articles of colonial produce coming from foreign countries. The magazines shall be prepared for commerce, and locked with two keys, one of which shall re main in the hands of the commissioners of the customs. II. Merchants who shall offer soap for exporta. tion, and who shall shew that they have paid upon oils imported within the year the established rates of duties, shall have a drawback of three-fourths of the said duties in the proportion of the quantity of oils entering into the composition of the soap to be exported. IV. The entrepôt shall be opened on the requisition of the merchants for every species of merchandize and goods not specified in the second article. V. The merchandize and goods destined for the real or nominal (fictif) entrepôt, shall, after verification, be entered in two registers kept by the re ceiver of the customs. The persons consigning the goods shall lodge in the hands of this receiver a bond properly secured to re port those articles in the course of the year or to pay the duties. VI. The duration of the real entrepôt shall not be more than two years. The goods and articles, whose entry is or shall be prohibited, may be re-exported without this delay.

After having exhausted all the refinements of barbarity upon his body, they dragged his bleeding form under the eyes of his wife, whom they forced to embrace him, two hours after his death. On the 24th June, the Chief Consul visited the national manufacture of porcelain at Sevres. He inspected with the utmost minuteness and the liveliest interest, during the course of an hour, this magnificent establishment, which has given birth to an art in France which no other nation is able to rival. In an address to the First Consul, the merchants of Lyons unite with the rest of the commercial interest throughout the country, in demanding that the trade to India should be laid open, and that no prileged companies may be re-established. "The creation of privileged companies, say they, not only violates the principle, but necessarily compromises the prosperity of commerce. The experience of ages has proved that all privileged companies are ruinous. England itself would not have derived greater benefit from them, if she had not united to the advantages of her commerce, those that resulted from her sovereignty. Never were the French companies so valuable or important as those which were established in the East, from the year 1773 to 1779, by individual speculators. In all cases it is observable that privileged bodies abuse their monopoly in promoting their own interests, without any consideration to those of France. Exclusive privileges would, above all, be disastrous to the manufactures of Lyons, for it is admitted that individuals have the means of introducing a greater quantity of our manufactures, such as gold wire, hats, cloths, &c. than any company can possess. It is no less evident that individuals could, more effectually than any company, import into France those productions of India which are necessary for our manufactures." June 27.The following circular, of this date, was written to the several Prefects by the Minister of the Interior. Fête of the Anniversary of the 14th July. It is the desire of the Government, that Morals and Virtue shall be particularly honoured at the fête, and receive public recompense. At Paris, in each of the twelve Municipalities, there shall be celebrated, on the day of the 14th of July, the marriage of a young maiden with a young man, chosen from amongst those who are distinguished for traits of courage. The same ceremony shall take place at the chief place of every district, on the 23d of September next. The Prefects and Sub-Prefects shall concert with the respective Municipalities, respecting the dower of the young women, and shall draw up the form of the ceremonies which shall take place on the occasion of these marriages. At Paris, on the evening of the 14th of July, there will be a grand concert on the terrace of the Thuilleries. The Palace of Government will be illuminated, as well as the gardens of the Thuilleries, and the Palace la Concorde. The Minister of the Interior, DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. Chaptal. Letters from Leghorn, of the 15th of June, state, that our troops had delivered up to France Porto Ferrajo, and the whole of the Isle of Elba. They also evacuated Mahon on the 27th of May. Thirteen new ships are to be launched this year for the service of the Honourable East-India Company, viz. seven of 1200 tons, and six of 800 tons, comprizing, in the aggregate, 13,250 tons. The Committee appointed by the Lords of the Treasury to examine the models which have been formed for the monuments to be erected in St. Paul's Cathedral, in consequence of addresses to his Majesty from the House of Commons, consists of the following persons.

On Saturday morning, the 3d instant, Quarter-Master Young, of the third regiment of Guards, was dismissed from his Majesty's service, for embezzling Government stores. He was brought on the Parade at the Horse Guards, his sword broke over his head, his sash cut to pieces, and drummed out of the regiment. His Majesty's ship Mermaid sailed from Gibraltar the 15th of June, with his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex on board for Lisbon. All passports granted by our ministers for France are in French. The reason, perhaps, is, that the officers, particularly in the provinces to whom passports must be submitted, do not understand English. The Saturn, of 74 guns, arrived on Tuesday night at Plymouth, from Martinique, with the body of Rear-Admiral Totty, who, we are sorry to say, died of the yellow fever on the 2d of last month. He was taken ill at Martinique and sailed from thence on a cruize, in hopes of recovering from the disorder, but finding its violence increase the ship bore away for England on the 24th of May. The Admiral died nine days afterwards. Weymouth the following evening in perfect health. At Bridgewater Fair on Thursday, the 1st instant, the quantity of cheese produced was very small, and mostly of the inferior kinds, and as there were, many buyers, the prices kept up: best cheese fetched from 63s. to 70s.; middling 42s. to 56s.; inferior 35s. to 40s.; bacon 10d. per lb.

The following is a copy of General Orhis Majesty's forces at Martinico, relative to ders, issued by the Commander in Chief of the late mutiny of the 8th West-India Regiment at Dominica: "Adjutant General's Office, Fort Royal, Martinico, 27th April, 1802. GENERAL ORDERS. "The Commander in Chief has been under the ing the execution of several mutineers of the 8th WestIndia Regiment. "This unfortunate event will not induce him in the smallest degree to suspect the fidelity of the other West-India Regiments; he will not confound the innocent with the guilty, and he sincerely hopes that no person will be so unjust as to do so.

The Foudroyant left in Gibraltar Bay the Dragon, Superb, Europa, and Thetis; the two latter were bound to England with a battalion of the 40th, and a detachment of the 79th regiment. The Genereux, with troops from Minorca, for England, was going into Gibraltar, when the Foudroyant sailed: she has brought home a detachment of limited service men, from the 5th regiment..

Should a change of circumstances occasion his again going on service in this country, he will take under his command as many West-India Regiments as the nature of the service will admit. It has been said that a report was spread amongst the soldiers of the 8th West-India Regiment, that they were to be sad as slaves-if any such report has been circated in the sth or any other West-India Regiment, by eril-minded persons, the Commander in Chief asures the soldiers of those Regiments, that the report is entirely without foundation, no such thing cather will or can happen. But his Excellency does not mean to extend this assurance to mutineers and murderers. He will protect and encourage such men of the 6th West-India Regiment as shall appear not to have joined in the mutiny.

We are not certain of this; but we mention it for the purpose of taking an opportunity to exhort all those of Mr. Windham's friends, who have a vote for that county, to ascertain the fact without delay. The test proposed at the city election, and subscribed by some of the candidates, is something new in the annals of democracy, We have often heard of the doctrine, that members of parliament ought to act under the instructions of their constituents; but we never before heard of their entering into a written contract so to do. It is, however, pleasing to observe, that the sense of the livery is very different from that of the com mon hall; for there is every appearance, that three out of four of the members who will be returned, are those who refused to sign this unconstitutional, this foolish, this degrading test. The partial change which has taken place in the ministry, is of no other impor tance, than as it is a proof that Messrs. Pitt and Dundas have no intention to resume their places, for some time at least. Lord Castlereagh is a nobleman whom no one can be sorry to see in office. His principles are sound, his character fair, his industry great, and his talents by no means of the inferior order. He will certainly act, in some sort, under the direction of Messrs. Pitt and Dundas; but, if he acts wisely, as we sincerely hope and believe he will, that circumstance is nothing to his disadvantage. We hope he will profit, not only from the wisdom and experience, but from the errors of Mr. Dundas. The attention of this country is totally occupied with the elections, several of which are carrying on with great warmth. An accurate account of the contests, and the result, will be finally published in the Register; but, in the mean time, we cannot forbear to express our deep regret, that any body of persons, calling themselves Englishmen, should have been so detestably base as to prefer Messrs.
