Since the arrangements irsde between gen. Maitland ana T'oulTaint L'Ouverture have 'transpired, varioys conjectures have been made. There was po idea of making Touf- Hiint L'Quvertijj-e i'o-vcreign of St. Domingo ; but of cdablithing in that iflijid an adminis tration cf government fibular to that now subsisting in the'lile of France,to regulate the trade of the colony, if-eftablilh its plantations {Tn-eft its commerce and p rote ft t from the vexatious depredations of the French gov eYnment. The only means to effett tins was to put it Under the protection of the Britiih llag ; to-pour its produce into our ports ; and to have recourse to our capitalists, who are alone capable of fur'nilhing the funds ne beffary for cultivating- the lands. General Touflaint L'Ouverture, at the head of 25, 000 negroes, thoroughly well dif tiplined, is the only person pofleffed of the military power to concur in this projedt.— ■white proprietors are indispensably neceflary to hirtV, ip order to consolidate his authority; to compote a -wife administration, and to'or ganize ami conduct the requisite operations. It is on this plan that he has declared him felf the protestor of those that remain in the ifhind, and that he has invited the emi grants to return. It is rn this basis that general Maitland has treated with him ; and that colonel Grant, and the two flommiffaries attached to liiVn arc goin£ to terminate the negotiation on terms agreed to by the British government. General Touflaint is indeed acknowledged hy the directory, commander of thtf republi can troops on the island ; but the Count de Malaiiie is jlfo acknowledged by the direc tor commandant of the Isle of France.— Ncverthelefs it is certain, that the latter has fentaway from the Isle .of France all the re publican troops : that he receives orders no longer irom the French government ; and has refuted to admit the cointalflfigners tent out to him. Kedouville had but few partisans before his proclamation wasiljued, and ithasdimi nilhed their number* The Uft accounts informed us, that, In order to fruftrate general Toufliint, in his -design of fending him to France with the r R -of the republicans, he was making prepara tion to re-embark himfelf. This will happen as loon as our ccmmiilioners arrive on the island, and will tend much to facilitate the object qf their million. Kingston, February 14.. His majcfty'js; fliip La Legere, and-brig Pelican, captain Philpot, arrived at Port Royal 011 Wednesday evening from a c.uize : the latter bringing in with her a Spanish poliicfc, under Ligurian coloui-s, her prize ; ilie is out from Barcelona, and although we hitherto have but an uiT&tisfeftory account from her, we suppose she brings later intel ligence' thaiwvve 11-5 in pofieffion of.

The captain mentions, that admiral Nelson had left Na ples, and gone to Leghorn, with a fleet of transports under his convoy, having on board 28,000 Neapolitan troops, which took pof fefiion of the city, In order to repel an at tack which it was fuppofedthe French me ditated—also that the king of Naples had taken pofleflio 11 of Rome with a large force,' and that the Onoefe had requested protec tion from the Britilh admiral. The capture of Minorca is fully confirmed by the Polacre. It was generally believed at Barcelona, .hit there had been a private agreement be tween admiral St. Vincent's and the Spanish government retpe&ing the giving it up. .Theaecoimts ffefpe&ing the death of Bu onaparte were brought by a Greek vessel, but differ tVcra what we have received via London.
