Liverpool, April 17. We have heard on the most unquestionable authority, that there is now in London a messenger from the French government to Petion, for the purpose of acknowledgment not only of the independence of that part over which he presides, but of the whole island-of Hayti, & A YTI. President Boyer of Hayti, is a colored man, about 50 years old ; and was one of the commanders who expelled the French invaders of St. Domingo under Le Clerk and Rochambeau. His courage and military skill are highly spoken of. One of the first acts of president Boyer of Hayti, was the liberation of all prisoners not under sentence of death. A white president could not have done a more humane deed. Nat. Register. St. Thomas, April 30. " I have just seen the Gazette de Caraccas, which gives the official account of an engagement on the 17th mst. at Biul, near St. Carlos, between Bolivar and the royal general Morales, in which the latter, it is said, has gained a complete victory over Bolivar he says that independents lost 400 men killed, & 150 prisoners. " Amongst the killed of Bolivar's army, are stated to be brigadier general Pedro Leon Torres, the chief of the staff " Santander," colonels F. Calliado, Salon, and Manrique, lieut. col. Pinango, (nephew of Bolivar) Silvester Palacius, Manfredo Bercolari, maj. Joseph Francisco, and Juan de Dios Morales, the aid-de-camp to Bolivar, Florencio Tobar, the Surgeon Sebastian Olivares, and many others. " The Spaniards have also suffered much, agreeably to their own statement; amongst their killed they name col. Raphael Lopez. They state that they have

also taken 400 muskets, 30,000 cartriges, 400 lances, 30 cargos ammunition, 300 horses, and all the camp equipage, &c. &c. Bolivar's papers, hat and coats, &c. &c. " P. S. I have heard of this opportunity but a moment before sailing. Brion, the independent admiral, is now at St. Bartholomews, with two ships heavy armed, two brigs and three schrs. He lays with his own ship in the harbor of St. Barts, his cher vessels lay at the five islaws, close by St. Barts. I um-tand that he shews Amean colors while in port, pere, however, he is openly ''ctrY wdi t received he has yAh him 2 1 prizes from Cadi'? and one from BrazjI.

ERTHQUAKE IN CICILY. From the Cork Reporter of April 14. An extract of a letter from a gentleman at Mascali, near Mount Etna, dated February 22, 1818, says" You will, no doubt, be anxious to hear from me on this distressing occasion. This place -and Giarre have not sustained the least injury, but all around us is one scene of distress. We here understood, that Nola and Syracuse have sustained considerable damage in lives and buildings ; as far as Catania, most of the houses are more or less damaged, but no lives lost ; the Elephant Hotel is partly destroyed. Aci Catena is one third destroyed, and a number of lives lost. St. Antonio, lives lost and a great part of the town destroyed. Nicolosi, Lapidera, Trecastague and Viagranda, partially damaged Pas de Ppmo, and all that part considerably damaged in stores and houses ; Saffarana, part of the church fell in, and killed every one in it, say about 60 persons, and the three priests attending the service. Saffarana is about four miles from this. From thence at St. Alpois one scene of desolation, and from thence to Piedmont and Kandazzo. It is further-said that Luctini, Bronte, and all that part, are considerable sufferers. In fact, we know not yet the extent of the injury done ; but what we know is more extensive than the Earthquake that destroyed Messina. The devastation is general, and, I fear, not yet finished. I look upon this to be the forerunner of an Eruption. The first shock was on Friday, at half past seven p. m. most violent ; its motion Was perpendicular ; at midnight a second; about five in the morning a third. This morning, about four, another ; and at half past five a second; and at noon a third ; but slight. For these two nights here and at Giarre, the population have remained iii the streets, with temporary sheds, and casks with the heads out. Giarre is like an Indian town.

At Villiers le-Bel, France, 25 women have been killed in the church, by the falling of the bell, weighing 6,000 weight, which some men were lowering from the belfry by a rope. It fell on the stone arched roof of the church and beat it in ; and the stones fell among the crowd assembled in the church to see the bell taken down.
