After the occupation of 'the island by the American troops, they sailed in a Patriot privateer for 6t, liar tholomew's, whence they directed their steps to the Main. • We have understood, fiom good authority. that Colonel Al‘Donald, and eleven others, landed in the month of May somewhere in the Oronoco, in tending to join a body of Patriots which were said, , to be stationed there. They, however, accidentally fell in with a small party of Royalists, who sum-' rnoned, or ordered them to surrender. This they refused to do—an action ensued, and they were all cut off to a man.

ELOPEMENT OP CARTA INWAIGIIT.—Capt. Wright, of noted memory, has broken his •parole of honour, .and absconded. On the 26th ultimo, (the day pre vious to.his disappearing) he addresled the following note to the Govei nor of Georgia : " Sm—On the .Bth of May last, I vial arrested by order of your Excellency. Since that time I have waited in the expec tation that a Court Martial would be held fur my trial. No charge has yet made its appearance against me. I therefore pray that your Excellency will withdraw the arrest If you should think proper not to do so, Stara Me to call and see you. as I have business of importance. (Signed) " Oarn. Warenz." To this communication no answer was returned. Its fears, we understand, Is ere considerably excited' by the premature statement in the Savannah Repub. lkan, of the determination of the President of the United Stases to have him tried before the Federal Court for murder. Dreading a long and loathsome' imprisonment in jail, and probably apprehending, from the " hue and cry," which had been raised against him, that his conduct would not be impar tially investigated, he took the fatal resolution to flee from justice. A reward of 500 dollars has been offered for his apprehension.

They were unarmed, and committed no acts of violence. They immediately dispersed, without its being necessary to order any troops against them. No person has suffered injury by this affair." ZzorRACT OS A PRIVATE LETTER FROM BERLIN, DATED SEPTEMBER 15. The colossal bronze statue of Prince Blucher, mode' ed by the sculptor Shadon, was successfully `executed about fourteen days ago. It is highly spoken Of by, all the sculptors and amateurs as a noble pro• duction. It is between eight and nine feet high, and is to be placed in front of our new guard-house, a fine Doric building, finished within these few days. " There is much talk here of lowering all our du ties on English mereiteidize, if the English agree to admit certain articles of our manufactures to be im ported on proportionally low duties—an arrangement that could not fail to prove equally beneficial io both countries." The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last ; but their contents are ex tremely unimportant. The Kum has had an attack of the gout, but so slight-as not to prevent his pur suing his ordinary occupitions. The Five per Cents. left off on Thursday at 94fr. Sbc. The following is an extract from the Letter of our regular Private Correspondent : PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, SEPTEMBER 24. a The dull dead calm that has recently pervaded the political hemisphere, begins to cease, and a po litical breeze begins to blow; but from what quarter it will be asked ? If we question the Ultras, they will tell us they are triumphing, that all the Elec tions will be in their favour, and that Messieurs De cazes and Company will be ultimately defeated : were k not so, they add, do you think that his Royal Highness Monsieur would have written a letter of condolence to the National Guard of the Department of the Gard, on their being disbanded; aid doss not this prove our ascendancy ? If such a letter were written, which we venpre to doubt, we hesi tate not to declare it highly impolitic and unzonsti tntionalr and a want of that respect and duty which his Royal Highness owes to his rtfajesty. If we ask the independent friends of the Charter, the real frienix of the Constitution, they will tell you that it is all over with the Ultras; that the threats of Ca rmel are despised, and he is still kept in prison with his worthy colleagues ; that Donnadieu is dismissed from his functions, and will probably soon be sent to the same quarters as Cancel ; that the assassins of Marseilles, of Nismes, of Grenoble, and Lyons, will no longer enjoy impunity; that many of them have been arrested, and amongst others the noted Tredail lon, and that the Tribunals will not now fear to do justice upon the monsters. These active measures it is said, renders the present composition of the Mi nistry longer impossible. The changes that it is said will take place in a fortnight, are as follows : M. Deeazes, Minister of the Interior, to which the Po lice is to be annexed; General Nansotdy, Minister at War (we see no reason why Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr should be removed) ; the Duke de Gaete, Minister of Finance—'his, we predict, would be a happy change for France—M. Corvetto is an honest, worthy man, but very unfit for his office, he is, besides, led away by the outrageous Ultra M. de la Bouillerie, who, because his wife is noLk, fancies he is so too, aril talks as largely and learnedly about their rights and privileges as any tote-a-perrugue in the kingdom. This would be what the Ultras would not fail to call a Jacobin Ministry, yet it is very certain that all their Jacobinism would be to preserve the Charter invio late ; which the Ultras, after mouthing for two years • as the molt perfect of Constitutions, now condemn as a vile jacobin measure, into which the King was surprized.—There is important news from Austria, of which Maria Louisa is the object: a few days will develope whether the rumours are well founded.'" Thursday, the Royal Family, &c. received letters from the Duke and Duchess of CLAnaNca. A few days since letters were also received from the Dake and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE. Yesterday the Grand Duke Minium. attended Di• vine Service at the Russian Chapel, in Welbeck-street In the evening his Imperial Highness dined at Count LizvEN's, the Russian Ambassador.

We have received a file of the GUIC ?L2 Taide to the 15th Augus►, from which we are sorry to see that some misunderstanding, of a political description, exists in that valuable Colony. The subjoined ex tract will put our Readers in possession of the leading points of the difference existing between the Colonial Assembly and the Government : " GEORGETOWN, DEMERARA, MX 29,1818. " We are this day induced, fur particular reasons, to entreat the serious consideration of the Public to a subject that affects, in no small degree, the vital in terests of this Colony—whether we regard its rights, ,honour, or reputation. We allude to the important point of military protection—and the parallel cir cumstance of our Town Militia being obliged, for nearly the last twelve months, to do the duty of re gular soldiers. " The obtaining of a strong garrison for such an extensive and valuable colony as Demerara, is a daty obviously prescribed by the mere nature of things— the elements of her people—her geographical situa tion—her very constitution and character. It will be in the reader's recollection that our Financial Repre sentatives, in January 1817, coincided with the Ho nourable Court of Policy, in voting a grant of 72,000 guilders (about 06000) in aid of Government, to be applied for the support of an additional num ber of troops in the Garrison—so as to afford two hundred men at the out-posts—which vote was oc casioned by its being in contemplation to reduce or withdraw the regiments then stationed here.— This grant was, by several independent members of the community, reprehended as unnecessary and unjust—inasmuch as it virtually went to imply a resignation of their undoubted right of protection— incorporated as the Colony is with the mother State, and, by consequence, entitled to participate in the privileges of their fellow-subjects. Others, on the contrary, who had much property at stake—who were well aware that it was exposed to the encroach ments of that destroying spirit which no moral re straint will ever be able to check—applauded the wisdom of our Legislature in imposing upon the Colonists such a sacrifice; conceiving they would have at disposal a requisite assistance, ready to be dedicated to the preservation of their several interests. " Taking it for granted, therefore, that the vote of supplies was but the prelude to the arrival of a suf ficient force; it is not to be wondered at that a deci ded feeling of indignation and surprize should have been manifested, when, instead of an accession of military strength, an actual dimir.ution gradually 2nd successively took place. In this predicament, the Georgetown Militia was called open, and with a promptitude and loyalty which, however misapplied, will ever do them honour, came forward to assume, under a burning sun, the arduous duties of infantry of the line. The unexampled pmtraction of their services is well known to every body. They are still devoted to the hardships and privations inseparable from such an unnatural state of things, and in fact have begun to relinquish the hope, once cherished, that their fatiguing and expensive duties would soon come to a close. " Our Legislature, at the last combined assembly, evidently viewed matters in their true light—and, like spirited men, faithful to the common good, ne gatived, for the present year, the vote of 72,000 guilders—on the broad and obvious principle, that the appropriation of the former year's grant had I produced no additional security to the protection of the Colony—but that it had, to appearance, drawn forth a disposition to t r y h ow f ar t h e inhabitants would permit therriseh es, without remonsu once, to be oppressed by the doubly se% ere Ilan's!. ip of pay-1 ing for their protection—and doing the duty of sol diers at one and the same time—a manifestation this, of either blind confiJence, or downright ignorance, before unheard of in the annals of Colonial llistol y. " It is with undisguised resentment, then, that we learn, from a quarter entitled to eve: y respect, that some officious and mischievous chara. ter: have been attempting to injure, at home, the integrity of the Colony, by representing, in the most insidious man ner, that it has forfeited all pretensions to good faith and hanoir, in so far that the Legislature had prof: fered a specific sum of money to Government for a supply of troops, and afterwards, in defiance of all these promises, judged right to withhold the vote., This is not worthy of serious confutation: it is to tally devoid of truth. " The protection required was not afforded—and if it is an erroneous system (as every one m ust a d m i t it is) to pay for that which never was received, the ,duty of every member of the Legislature, who con sults his own dignity and the best interests of the public, to : retract the vote in quz•A:. - . , r., was clenr, just, and imperative. " The subject altogether is ono of importance. It is not the cause of faction or of party, or of any indi • vidual, but the common concern of all. We rejoice to learn that there is every probability of its being brought beforo next Parliament : the Merchants con nected with these Colonies having taken up the busi ness in a spirited and proper manner—and no doubt when they are fully acquainted with the case in all its beatings, the subject will be discussed in the W.- bunal most likely to obtain redress."
