AMERICAN PAPERS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO GENERAL JOHN FLOYD, DAT= ST. MARY'S, DECEMBER 10, 1814. 66 SIR—I hasten to communicate to you the infor mation that I have received yesterday in Darien. The English frigate Macedonian is at anchor outside of Dohey; eight of her barges are stationed in the Sound, and the gig of the Captain with a . whale boat, are stationed at the entrance of the inlets, so that the communication is entirely interrupted. As many boats are expected in Darien from the vicinity of Milledgeville, fears are entertained for their safety. NEW YORK, DECEMBER 27. . CONGRESS.—The Senate has sent a Message to the House, informing them, that they disagreed to the amendments to the bill for drafting the militia. Among the amendments disagreed to was that for. reducing the term of service from two years to one, ' and that authorizing the Executive to make reonisi-: tions on subordinate militia officers in case of the failure of the Governors to comply with the demand , first made upon them. The House then voted to in-: sist on all their amendments separately, and a Com mittee of Conferencewas appointed. And this, I . suppose, is the last we shall bear of it. A fine way of getting rid of the subject. z EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OUR CORREBFONDEXT AT WASHINGTON, DATED DECEMBER 19, 1814. " Taking the dispatches as they appear On paper, I can no way avoid thinking your reasoning and con clusion just. But there is, I fear, a worm at the root of the gourd. Great Britain has seized us by the nape of the neck, and she will set us down just when she finds convenient. But she has her interest to consult first, and her resentments are yet to be gratified. At the opening of the next spring cam paign we shall have neither men nor money, nor the means of getting either, for Giles's conscription bill either will not pass, or will never be executed, and in such a helpless situation, we shall be glad, I fear, to conclude a peace upon any terms."

They contain but little intelligence of external inte rest. The Parisians are from day to day amused with a report of the proceedings in the trial between LOUIS, BONAPARTI and his wife, respecting the poi. session of his eldest son, now pearly fifteen . years of age. The unfortunate husband is willing, nay de- sirous, that the lady should retain her younger children for reasons which delicacy forbids him to disclose. The Mother of the boy founds her claim on various decrees and orders of BONAPARTE, by which, as, Re gent of Holland, he gives her the charge of all bes children. The present King of France, by gra ciously assigning estates, and the rank tf French nobility to these children, as a token of respect to the memory of their, Grandmother, the Ex-Empress .Ibaattnnx, has furnished the Mother with an argument against permitting her eldest son to forfeit Ids rights by leaving France. As to the decrees of Nstor.x,ost, it is likely that they will be disregarded, but the osdoanance of the KING will naturally be tressed with more respect. In the mean time, Louts declares it to be his intention to take his son with him out of france—a country where he fairly confesses that the atrocities of his Brother have made it irk some and disagreeable for him to live.--We make the following extracts PARIS, FEBRUARY 4. Yesterday . the King held a Council, at which all the Princes were present. In the evening the king and Royal Family visited the Theatre of the Opera Cowire: the pieces were, the Caliph f Bagdad, and Aeon*. The'crowd was immense, and long before six o'clock there was not an empty place to be found. The audience received the Royal visitors with the most enthusiastic loyalty. The report is spread to-day that Joachim Murat has entered the territories of the Alpe, at the head of an army. The news way be premature, but at all events the time is come when Ports Inferi non p►a "oldent. The frigate Erigone arrived at L'Orient in 24 days from Martinique, on the 27th ultimo, with the intel ligence o f the arrival there of the new Fre.nch Go. vernor. Martinique was restored on the 9th of No vember, and Guadaloupe on theAl December. On the 19th ultimo a . sloop was wrecked off the Commune of Maisy, in the department of Calvac:os. It WAS English built, and scarcely a timber remains of it. The letters st ifllfianr Smith, Londmi o n have been decyphered on some pieces of the wreck.. CALAIS, JANUARY Si. Several British officers hate landed here from gn g land, proceeding to Belgium with their horses swd military equipment's. We are assured that the Belgians are very much diosontented at the stay of the English troops in their Sue country, and that there are frequent quarrels be tween the soldiers and the inhabitants, VIENNA, JANUARY 2s. Those politicians who pretend to observe, with the -greatest cats., what is passing, assure as, that, for some tinte d there has ,been a great coolness between the Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia. As the eorieqttence of gn ancient rivality, each of those eleitarcks wishes to obtain, for himself, an accession of poweif but if at the, alPf.tilge re4d7Y o dernon. strate die danger of giving an increase to his neigh bour. The Emperor of Russia inclines towards the Emperor of Austria. Good news is spread from time to time : k is said that' the Allied Powers are agreed, and the final ar .raigements are enumerated. People ought to be on their guard against all these rumours. They are in general mere stock jobbing manceuvres. They seek to raise the course of exchange, and all methods are resorted to, but it is nevertheless always low : this is an indubitable proof that the difficulties are not removed. The Emperor of Austria and King of Denmark see each other frequently, and have very long con ferences. It is even said that there will be a marriage between the Hereditary Prince of Austria and the Princess Royal of Denmark. The pat ties are about 22 years of age. It is said that the portrait of this young Princess has produced the most lively impres. .sions on the young Prince, who has communicated his sentiments to the Emperor. According to the news of the day, Russia will occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, for that part of Poland which she cedes to Prussia ; and the latter will once more enter upon the margraviates of Fran conia, which will be renounced by Bavaria, on con dition of being indemnified elsewhere to her mind. Several Statesmen who enjoy a high' consideration in Austria, are now occupied with uniting, under the same Administration, the countries which Austria has obtained in Italy, and giving them the appellation of a Kingdom. They think that this would be an ea.. cacious method of putting an end to discontents, and• that the people of Italy will be flattered with be-. coming an united nation, and a Monarchy, like• those of Hungary and Bohemia, with their own laws. This projet is considered as decided upon. Austria decidedly gives up the Valteline, Bormio, and Chiavenne, and consents that these countries shall be again united to Switzerland ; but they will not form an independent Canton, for they will be united to that of the Grisons. • Some days ago, a Russian Captain was announced to the Emperor Alexander, as having come from St. Petersburg!' with dispatches. The 'Emperor said “ Let him come in." It was the Emperor Francis in s Russian uniform, who had received letters from the Dowager Empress of Russia; and who instantly delivered them to the Russian Monarch. It-is very remarkable, that at this moment the whole of the South of Europe is in opposition to the North : Austria, France, and England, in concert with Spain, Sicily, Portugal, Holland, Hanover, and Bavaria, do all they can to place limits to the preten siens of Russia and Prussia. AUGSBURG, JANUARY 27. Letters from Milan assure us that the Emperor of Austria will assume the Iron Crown on his arrival at Milan. The restoration of the Kingdom of Italy u part of the Austrian Monarchy, is spoken of. AGRAM, JANUARY ►4. The troops which cover the Illyrian Provinces, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march. They amount at this time to about 31,000 men. The parks of artillery of reserve, which were in the Venetian and Mantuan territories, are united in the environs of Gorice. A purchase is to be made of 2500 horses in .Dalmatia, &c. which has been or. dered to complete these military equipments. These dispositions would forebode the formation of an army which can be moved either to the north or to the south, as circumstances require. What is certain is, that Turkey is absolutely a stranger to these move. ments, since she has permitted grain add other arti cles for provisioning the magazines, to be purchased in her provinces. Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived this morn ing. The most curious article which they contain is that which informs us that Austria has supplied the Pon with troops and arms with which to enable hint to wrest the Marches of Ancona from Moony I This is no proof of the favourable disposition of Austria to the pretensions of Joscfuat. . We subjoin the foil lywing extracts : BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY I. This day will be memorable in the annals of Bel gium—it is that on which Brussels was delivered last yesi from the most dreadful tyranny. For twenty years . we have groaned soccessively under the iron rod of Revolutionists with red caps, whose hands were dyed in blood—under that of those wicked men whose rule will be an eternal disgrace to France— ,and lastly, under the yoke of that Corsican, who, in his vast projects of ambition, perfidy, and conquest, bad at least ideas of grandeur, of greatness, and ml. litary talents, of which the clubbists to whom he suc ceeded were destitute. The day was ushered in by the ringing of bells and I the thunder of cannon. To Dean was celebrated in the great church, which could scarcely contain the immense crowd. The Hereditary Prince of 'Orange was present, accompanied by English, Hanoverian, and Belgian Staff Officers, and those of the City Guard. The Civil Authorities went in carport, The parade was one of the most' brilliant we have seen here. - The English regiment of Guards, the Hanoverian Hussars, the English Artillery, the Del. gian Infantry, Etc. were drawn up in order of bAtilir.' and made most noble appearance. Soon goer his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince of Orange, at the hes 4 of his Suf i rod, along On liae. 314 e crowd was immense, and crise •of Loot She the Prince of Orange," resounded from every quarter. A Brussels Paper, remarking upon the French journals, which say that France hopes to obtain an increase of her northern frontiers, b► the ability of her negociator, adds in a note- 44 It is the journalist who is so able. A Minister, had he the ability of a Masarine or of a Richelieu, would not succeed in our days in persuading the Powers of Europe to make concessions in contradiction to the dictates of a wise and enlightened policy." AIX'LA CHAPELLE, JANUARY 2S. Several movements among the Prussian troops in our neighbourhood have led to conjectures that these movements were military demonstrations. This is not so—well informed persons justly consider them as mere changes in the cantonments of the troops, occasioned by local circumstances. For the rest, the relations of tie Sovereigns at Vienna seem to secure Prussia against any war. A new conflict cannot take place unless a foreign power is allowed more influence than it has a right to, and tke liberal ideas of Prussia should be offensive to others. Then, indeed, Prussia would rather take arms than suffer this, and give up its rights, which are for the good of the country, but this cannot be supposed as likely. VERONA, 'AMARA' a. The people, inflamed brnurnerons arrests which criminal connections with the authors of the conspi. racy at Milan had caused to take place, has broken out into open insurrection, and opened the doors of the prisons. The garrison did not make any oppo sition, but retired to its quarters. Numerous arrests have also taken place at Mantua, which the conspirators seem to intend to make the centre of their operations. MUNICH. JANUARY 39. The greatest preparations are . making to receive the Emperor and Empress of Russia, whom we are .now certain of seeing in this capital. ROME, JANUARY it. • Since the day that his Excellency the Chevalier de Lebezalterre, the Austrian Envoy, had refused to transmit to his Court the complaints of his Holiness, it was observed, that his Excellency avoided seeing the Holy Father. Yesterday he had the honour of paying his Court to the Sovereign Pontiff, and an nouncing to him, that his Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, bad charged him to over to his Holiness one thousand muskets and two hundred horses. It is reported today that this present is designed to arm the troops that are to be garrisoned iu the Marches. CREMONA, 34NUARY Yesterday tw►o Austrian regiments arrived here going to the Venetian provinces, where large corps of troops continue to be collected. Yesterday three officers were arrested, supposed to be implicated in the conspiracy of Milan. It is pretty well understood that the Parliament, on its meeting, will be adjourned for a few days, with little or no opposition; to allow time for the arrival of Lord Casri.sasison, whose presence may be con sidered as almost indispensably necessary to those discussions which will occupy the earliest attention of both Houses. BazAn.—This day the LORD MAYOR inspected the Mealweighers' Returns, and ordered the price of Bread to be risen an half assize, which is one penny in the peck loaf. By the operation of the existing Acts of NIB& mew the importation of foreign corn will be sns 'pended on the 15th of the current months for the average price of the twelve maritime districts, at that period, will be found under the rate of 655. per quar ter, the limit prescribed by the Act 45 Geo. 111. at which the high duty of 245. 13d. shall take place. This duty amounts to a prohibition of all imports, and will give to the farmers the entire occupation of the home market for corn for at least three months. • Soolturio.—Barraso-aoots ' Fos. 6.—Draar-9 to 1 apt. br. to Wbakbosw ; 12 to 1 apt.

COURT of SEIIIIOII 9 Dx. l onnosi.—Earl of Wmayss o. %Num: and others.— Friday, a decision took place in the First-Division of the Court of Session on this important question. The late Duke of Queensberry was in the practice of let ting his lands upon his estate of bfirch for grassums; and the principal question that occurred was, whether *the proprietor of an entailed estate, where hi; was not prohibited by the entail, could le t his lands on such terms f—The Court found, that the practice was illegal ; and, therefore, reduced the leases. . By a recent decision in a country Court of Re quests, it has been held that the hank-notes of a Country Banker, which have been paid away after banking hours, were returnable upon the payer, in the event a a bankruptcy being declared next day. This decision is in perfect unison with several of the higher Courts of the country, which have proceeded upon the inaaim, that the receiver of a Banker's cheque or note of hand is bound to use all due diligence to con• vort it into cult during banking hours.
