.4MICRICA. NEW-YORK, JUNE 55. Captain Sherman arrived at Baltimore from the Mediterranean, informs, that the 4lgerinei are still festive, and have only arced with Commodore Shaw of observe the Treaty With the . United Stat«s for three months. If a fleet 'is not sent to the Mediter ranean sufficient to attack Algiers, and compel them tti keep the peace, there will be more of out citizens in olavery there before tall. Small vessels are of great importance in those seas, (if ordered to cruise in summer instead of lying in pore). for our large ships can watch the movements of their large ships, but not of their small ea alt. He remembers when the schooner Enterprise was in the Mediterranean in the Tripolitan . war, that the Tripolitaits approached no nearer to a sail when they discovered her to be a, schooner. The Enterpt;ze made a cru;ze down on the coast of Morocco, as far as Salley and La Na s h, and prevented several marauders !rum fitting out of those ports against the Americans. Captain Brooks, arrived at Charleston, informs, that just before he left Hrvannah, an elegant armed Spahish brig, with +OO slaves, arrived there from Afeca, having had an engagement off G.lli.nna with a British sl u rp of war, which she beat off, alter a short action of one hour and R halt s in which the sloop of •war suffered very severely. The circum stance had very much elated the people at Havan nah, as the brig was officered and panned entirely by Spaniards. FRENCH PiIPERO, NUKE% JULY it i rwenty persons were arraigned before our Court of Assiaes for having, at the deplorable epoch when . the Duke of Augouleme was obliged to quit Frattte, in 1815, assassinated, in the vill4ge of Arpaillarges, some Royal volunteers who had followed the arms of the Prince. • The most atrocious cruelties acconspanied this crime. Among the accused•were two women, dis tinguished for their wickedness in this frightful scene. Armed with iron forks, they had amused themselves by burying them in the head and intestines of the unfortunate Men. 011 C of them had a daugh. ter about thirteen or fourteen years of age, whom she excited to strike and mutilate the unhappy wretches. The absolute deuials and sangfroid of these women were remarked with Astonishment. After• nine days trial and a deliberation of the Jury, which lasted 16 hoots, tbe Court concknuied to death the eight fullow - ing, viz. Jealate Ver2.lts, - Jean Britton, Jacques Boisson, Eliz theth 13istide, widow of Boucciiran, Jacque.; lteboul, Pierre Room erre, Jean Blancher, and M aLieu Striati. A ninth, wanted Jran Jacques Barri, was L. -, ndernned to perpe toal'hard labour, and to be branded with a hot iron. This sentence was pronounced before an itinonit table crowd of people, tilled the Hall and all the avenues, and was heard without the slightest trken of approbation or disapprobation being manitested. PRIVATE lima. " PARIS, MT 20. Sir Robert Wilson and his companions will be liberated on Monday neat, the 224 the term of their sentence expiring on that day. The following extracts of pria-44-e letters, will give you some idea of the state of the Departments: - " Angers (on the Loire ) 44 We daily witness the most scandalous and out. rageous scenes. exhibited by the phrenzy of the Ultra. Royalists. The soldiers of the 94 battalion of the .3d regiment of the Royal Guard, which is organising here, insult, provoke, and mellst all classes of indi. Viduals. The main occupation of these soldiers is to loiter ahout the streets in parties, wantonly compelling any of the inhabitants they meet to cry out Vier Zr R•i 1 Two of them lately assassinated the son of a toaster mason, who had ventured to defy their threats. Upon the unfortunate father of this youth preferring his complaint to the Provost, he was told by the lat- ter that his son was a disaffected subject, an avowed Bonapartist, and that he must seek consolation in the consideration that such opinions would sooner or later have brought his parents into trouble, from which they were preserved by this event. • f• In this state of exasperati.,n, parties are, as it were, drawn up in pretence of each other, and,:one - may add, have already come to arms ; fur, in Order to avoid a general affray, the Authorities have beet under the necessity {lf tolerating a combat of twelve eltampinns of one party against an equal number of the other. The Prefect of the Department and the Mayor of the town assisted afthis chivalrous combat. Its issue proving fatal to the Ultras, they are silenced for the moment. Men of temperate principles are truly unfortunate in having to administer in such .times. Of that number may be accounted our pre sent Prefect. M. de Wismes. ftVe should be unjust in not bearing testimony to tie exertions, however fruitless, he has made to maintain tranquillity in the department. Some of the neighbouring departments in a situation still More calamitous than ours, have to, envy us the possession of a Magistrate thus disposed. Here, as in many other places, the action ut Govern 'Lora - seems twofold. There is that of the Ministry and that of the Princes, and the subject is hat used and perplexed between these distracting Powers." " Yillefranche (on the Mont). " I informed you lately of the arbitrary and violent proceedings- , of the Authorities and Ultra-Royalists of this town during the fetes of Whitsuntide. &ince then fresh excesses have put our forbearunve to an other trial. The 16th June was the-day appointed for the consecration of the colours of the National Guard, and for the inauguration of the King's bust in this town. A deputation of the National Guard of Lyons, commanded by M. de Savaron,_ repaired hithe? to assist at this ceremony. Our inhabitants erhkbitcd but little warmth on the occasion, and every thing bespoke a fete little remarkable for brilliancy Of joy. M. de Savaron rode through the streets, followed by his detachment and a train of gendarmes and agents of the police, repeatedly addressing the peOple in these energetic terms The infamous burtapartiats who do not illuminate, shall have four preirsairei quartered upon them to•morrow, and shall see their house! given up tp pillage.'—This sufficed to produce a general and instantaneous illu.

", Instead rif Istcnieon't condition having been, as was 611ppOied by a fete; considerably ameliorated.by the change of Government, some additional restric 7 tions were judged necessary to be laid on. These for some days produced an unpleasant effect on his mind, and were probably the cause of his confining himself closely to his chamber for several days. He has, however, been seen within a few days back, driving in his carriage, and occasionallr riding With his ac customed velocity within his limits, as be most raii gingsly peroSts in his retaliation f not riding out with a British Officer. • “ A letter, purporting to be written from Saint Helena, has appeared in some of the public. Papers which have lately reached this Island ; and were it not, that a few of the Circumstances mentioned in it, have a distant relation to what really occurred, thOugh miserably garbled and scandalously misrepre sented, one would suppose that it never was the pro-. duction of a person resident in St. Helena; as one would imagine that an inhabitant, or even a tempo rary sojourner, would have had opportunities, of learning anecdotes le►s distantly removed irons the truth, than those which form the subject of it. 64 , The author of the letter in question is so grossly ignorant of that which he pretends to relate with great accuracy, that he does not even know the name of the Officer on duty at Longwood. In the best place no such circumstance occurred as Bonaparte's ordering Captain Poppleton to ride in the rear, and that the privilege of riding abreast of him was not ,for him. Neither did he (the Captain) refuse to. ac company Napoleon nut the following day, or apprise him that he intended for the future to ride with him in uniform. The assertion of Captain Poppleton having taken the precaution of sleeping in a room through which Bonaparte must necessarily pass on his way to his own, is too ridiculous to need contra diction, were it not that sucke statement, it left "nn- contradicted, might with a few affect i the reputation of a most respectable English Officer, who has always performed the unpleasant duties of his situation in the most,delicate manner. • 6 , The statement respecting the Polish Captain is equally false, and more scandalous. Instead of Na poleon having 'turned his back upon him (the Polish Captain), and asked Las CISSili g who that man was?' he received him in the must polite manner, and con versed with him upwards of two hours. Immediately after this Napoleon dispatched one of his suite to,ask blur what he stood in need of—money, clothes, linen? with directions if he had none of the latter clean after so lottg a voyage, to furnish him with some of Ms own. To this was added an order tor MO or iILSO, which was immediately paid. He also had him to dinner with him for several days after. " Equally true with the above-mentioned letter, ' are those which state that Napoleon eats a &sale fig, smothered with onions, for breakfast ; and eight fowl: for dinner ! The writers of such falsehoods, must either be inconceivably silly, or have most contemp cit3ii opinions of the understandings of those to whom they address them; however they seem to be greedily swallowed by some of the Journalists. This circum. stance drew from Bonaparte one day a rinnark, Mat he supposed the Editors of some of the English Papers would make him eat a live bull at one meal, horns and all / This anecdote I have heard from a person who was present. . " Sometime back, Sir H. and' Lady D. Mrs. M.Clintock, Mrs. Wetherall, with several other Ladies and Gentlemen, were introduced to him ib the gar. den, to all of whom he was extremely affable, end they departed highly pleased with their reception. When it was mentioned to him. afterwardier that the Lacks were Particularly gratified v and that they were surprised to find him so different a person from what he had been represented, he is said to have replied laughing, suppose they imagined that I waveome strange kind of animal with two great horni sticking out of my head.' 66 It haa Web asserted that he has frequently re. ailed the memory of Kleber, and even by some that he had eatve4l his. assassination. Quite the contrary would appear from. the very handsome manner in which he speaks,of him. A short time back he ex pressed himself in the following manner:— , If Kleber had lived, the English would never have taken Egypt with an army without cavalry and few artillery. The Turks were nothing.' • Kleber, Kieber,' repeated he, was an irreparable. loss ap France aid to me. He was a man of the brightest talents, and a General of the greatest bravery.'—.r blenott,' he observed, 6 was a brave man, but destitute of talent.' 0 The friends aid relatives of the late lamented Sir John Moore, would probably be not displeased ,to hear the following tribute of applause paid to his memory, by an enemy whose capacity to judge need not be pointed out :—• Moore,' said Bonaparte, • was a brave soldier,' an excellent racer. and a man of talent. He made a few mistakes, which were pro bably inseparable from the difficulties by which he was surrounded, and most likely caused by the in correctness of .his infortnation having misled him.'— This he repeated, observing, • that Moore had com manded the reserve in Egypt, where he evinced con siderable talent.' • He died,' added he, • gloriously; he died like a soldier.' Speaking about St. Helena, he observed, • that such was the deplorable state of the Island. that the inhabitants considered the als: since of actual want, or the lack of starvation, as the greatest blessing.' For example,' said he, p--.. went the other day to It--s, and there they said to him," "Oh, how happy you must be to have ,fresh. meat every day at dinner Oh if we could but tojay 04 how happy we should be.' 66 It was stated, some time back, that Napoleon's, maitre d'lmtel, and others ut his suite, had signed a paper (pursuant to orders received from England, either to do that or quit St. Helena) purporting their willingness to remain, and submit to such restrictions as it might be thought necessary to impose upon them. The fgllowing is an abstract of that paper: 6 We, the undersigned, wishing to remain in the ser vice of the Emperor Napoleon, consent, . however dreadful may be the abode of Sielena,lo.remain in it, submitting ourselves to such restrictions. however arbitrary and unjust they may be. which have been imposed upon the Emperor Ind the persons la his service." -. - r THE EVENIINt STAR.

All Frenchmen, from twenty to sixty years of age, assessed themselves, or the suns of those assessed, to the direct contributions, are liable to serve in the National Guards, in the place of their domicile, without any eiception : , persons above fifty are to supply the sedentary service only. All the Officers of the NAtional Guards of the kingdom are appointed by the King, in the forms prescribed by the 'Ordonnance of 27th December, 1413. Tbe duration of their functions coal be six years. la future there wi)t be no rank given to the National Gu'ards without actual employment. The Duke of Angouleme left Grenoble on the 15th, to pay a visit to the King of SArdinia, his uncle, who is at this moment at the wateilof Aix, in Savoy. His Royal Highness has promised to return to Grenoble. Tl:e son of Regnault (de St. Jean d'Angely) has landed at Havre from New York. He has gone to Val to his mother. This young snan is the beard of letters from his father, and is authorized to dispose of all his property.

PARIS, JULY 21. • The two conspirators, Descubes and the woman Picard, bave desisted from their appeal against the ; judgment which condemns them to transportation. At Archangel two 7A -gun ships, a frigate of 36, 1 and a brig of 26 guns, have been lately launched. Count Caraman, Ambassador from the IcingoP France to the Court of Austria, arrived at Vienna on the Bth inst. General Czernicheff, Adjutant to the Emperor of Russia, had arrived in the same capital.' The report had also reached Vienna, that the meeting of the three Sotereigns who concluded the holy Ali- . ante would take place at Carlsbad. It is also said, that this meeting is in consequence of a 'met and additional' artkle in the same Treaty. by which the Sovereigns have agreed, that in the event of their not being agreed upon all points, their difference shall be referred, not only to the Ministers of the three Pourers, but to the united Sovereigns themselves. CIVITA VECCHIA, JULY g:. The influence of France in our relations with the Regencies of the. Coast of Barbary has already had the happy result of softening the Fate of the unfortu . nate subjects of the Pope, whom his Hblinesi cannot ransom from the smallness of hiv finances. It is remarkable, that France, without any naval force in the Mediterranean, from the weight and considera tion alone of her legitimate Government, obtains what is denied to armed fleets. We may judge of this from . the following publication, which appeared here yesterday NAVICI•ATION OW Mt bIZIIITERIANIAN. " We are anxious to mate known the information of the French Consut•Oener'al of Tripoli, in Barbary. contained in his letter of the 11th June. "The crew of the / French tartan named the Saint Maurice, belonging to M.Gastaidy, a merchant of Marseilles, having aban doned their vessel on the approach of a Tripolese cor.air which was emiaing twenty miles to the eastward of Civita Vecchia, but which merely went to recount:4re her, the French vessel was taken possession of by the Arabs and carried into Tripoli. As soon as the I'acf•a had notice that the vessel was Freoch, be re stored her to the French Consul, with many Impressions of ieodship." Armaments are talring place of course in our port. The Pipe employs with- great pleasure •any naval &en, as well Italian as foreigners, who are well recommended. If the impulse is well seconded which is manifested throughout Italy, it may be predicted that the Bar barian flag will float no longer, except on the foktiesses of Tripoli. Tunis, and Algiers. The English here speak in pompous terms of Lord Exnpouth's Expedition ; but our impatience will not be satisfied Until we shall have seen the fleet in full sail againit the brigands and their places of resort. .
