SEPTEMBER .% 1815. Lamm svayr.—Haeday at do Om& FRENCIi MAIL. the Mail of this morning has brought us the Paris Papers of 'Wednesday, and private letters to the same ea:e. According to the statement of one of our Corns- Imams, the escapa of so many of the traitors is to be *trilled more to the interference of . a foreign in. knee, 11,art to the wishes of the IC4ND Qr 14s Mi nisters. We think it probable that this statement is lot entirely groundless; but to what extent this tett twice 1114 y have been carried we have no means of judgment. The gcberalitt of.. our header; will agree with our Correspondent in the opinion that the death of twenty or thirty of the most culpable agents ald abettors of the late rebellion, would confer on Trance a more solid benefit than any thing else, in • the shape of a favour, that can be bestowed. The Pais Papers, in the present state of the Press, eannot be expected to enter deeply into speculations respecting the reported intended dismemberment of the country; but, by private letters, we find that re ports, similar to those which we have had occasion to lay before our Readers from the German Papeys, are current in Paris, and excite much interest. On this subj , :ct, however, the Allies are represented as -being divided in sentiment; and indeed it is one that will naturally excite much discussion before it can be finny arranged. The journals present but little novelty, if we except the speeches of the Presidents of the Electoral Col• lege, given in one of them, of which we have selected aurae specimens: PARIS. AUGUST tn. in the discourse pronounced at the opening of the Session of the Electoral College of the Department of ide and Pilau, by Count Lanjuinais, Peer of France, we remark this phrases—" You, Gentlemen , the riik of the citizens of this department—you who are so distinguiihed by your patriotic zeal, or by your inalterable fidelity to the King, or by both toge ther, fee," Now from those two disjunctives, there results grammatically this assertion, that patriot seal' imilisaGrrahlefil e ty to Ms Kim: are twri things separable and independent of each other, one of which alone, the first as well as thi second, is sufficient to constitute a mong us the choice elms, or the &unguided citizen. Seth certainly was not the intention of the orator . . Count Lanjuinai s cannot b e sus pe c ted of being igno rant, that with respect to people who are elevated to the rank of civilization, the country consists not merely of the soil which they tread under foot or lalmur with their hands, that it also consists of mural and political institutions which unite and arrange the population into a body politic (corps de nation.) We may, it is true, and examples are not wanting, stick to the prnsession of our property, to the enjoyment of the. fruits of the soil, without caring for remaining faithful hour institutions, but then we are not good citizens. °n, the contrary, we cannot like our social institu 11:Thi without also liking our natal soil, for political institutions, W h ich are the intellectual part of the woo f', cannot exist without this soil, which is, as it w4.ve, body, Hence it follows, that in Franct Owe can be ho patrintinis fait ie ititliteiable SdelitP to the reditary comAitiltionat monarchy in the descenrianiP Of the family inveited to a perpetuity with the regal pottier.

It is said that a Courier yesterday brought intelli ge.ace calculated to allay many apprehensions. They write from Toulon, an the 22d August, that an individual has been arrested in that town, who made himself remarkable last year by his frequent vi►its to Elba. They write from Aix-la-Chapelle, on the 22d Au gust:--' The day before yesterd.sy, the famous, Ch •trles Schulmeister, a celebrated Spy of Napoleon's, passed through here, going as a prisoner to Wesel.— He was arrested at Paris, by the orders of M. Justus of General Police, who oat him to Wesel." Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Minister Secretary of State in the department of Justice was introduced into the Cabinet of the. King. His Excellency re. mained three quarters of an hour with his Majesty. Count de Bl4cas, who has been nominated Peer, has left London on his %my to Fiance. PRIVATE LETTERS. " PARIS, AUGUST 29. II I have just read in one of the English Papers, that the hesitation and delay of putting She Traitor: silica their trial. are lamentable proof; of imberility—so say I. 13ut to the door of Whom do you lay tbe that of the King and his Ministers ? Alas, you know little what is going on here. Is it the fault of the King and his Ministers that some of the arch-traitors escaped? You believe it is ; all the world believes ic, except the few who know ft discover the secret springs that ac tuate the whole. If several traitors have escaped, it is because a great Sovereign insisted on their being furnished with passports for any and every part of the world, for the toirty-two points of the compass ; it is because they were even escorted by foreign troops to I the frontiers. The same cause is assigned for the ' delay and the postponement of the infamous Nay's tri4l. The list. I sent you in my last of the Members of the Council of War that was to try him was correct, but the President declined the task, and on some fri volous pretence refused. 66 It was expected that the Treaty of Peace would be proclaimed on the 25th, but we were all disap piriUistil...time uew difficulties - have arisen ; it is sa ported that Austria demands now Alsace, and some part of Lorraine, to.form it into a Grand Duchy for the Archduke CHARLES z it is likewise reported, that the Enspererof Russ' A has remitted to the King, for his his'share of the eipeuces of the war, and has given him three regiments, completely equipped. All this may be very fine, but we should prefer that he would sot screen the guilt y, and on the contrary insist upon their punishment. Thirty traitors, legally tried, convicted, andeseeuted, would do mete good to our King, and to puble tranquillity, than it he were to give him 30,000 soldiers, August 30.. T .The Afeife of Marshal Ney asked an audience of, the King, which was granted : the King toad not refuse that favour•to the wife of a Marshal. She threw herself at his Majesty's feet and implored mercy for her husband t the King assured her that he wished no better than that the Marshal should exculpate himself from the heavy charges brought against him; but that strict and impartial justice should be granted him. The lady went, or threw herself into fits; and to obviate any kind of bustle in the Thuilleries, she was privately removed from the King's presence, through a private staircase, into an apartment—women were sent to her assistance, and there she was left to recover at leisure. Marshal Ney undergoes daily private examinations, which are regularly reported to the King, but the cause of the delay of his trial remains a profound secret. 66 Important changes are makiag in every depart ment. -That of the Post-office will undergo an en tire re-organisation: almost all the head Clerks there had been devoted to General Lavillette, who knew better what was going on there than .M. Ferraod himself. 66 I have not been able yet to get Foveae's second Report—no copies of it are banded about. The first, it is confidently asserted, has had its proper effect, particularly on the English and Russian Statesmen ; whose interest is not to reduce, if such a step were possible, France to a second-rate power; sowing thereby seeds for an undeterminable war. It is con fidently asserted in the Thuilleries, that the integrity of the French Empire, ai settled by the Treaty of Paris, will be maintained." One of the _letters (mm Path states, that a ruffian hat had the audacity to discharge a pistol at the Duke of WELLINGTON, but fortunately his Grace escaped the slangur, the hall paving through the rim of his hat. Thursday, the PRINCE REGENT pissed through Oxford, in his way to the Earl of GUILDFORD, Mar. quis 01 HERTFORD, and Marquis of ANoutsres and yesterday afternoon, the Duke of CLARENCt passed through .

A Bonsai mil retailed tEt Morning, brings de. tails rather interesting reipetriilg Continental affairs The disbanding of the French garrisons in the fiontiei towns continues, and worts to be managed in such a way as to convince the Belgians that. these places will soon be in the hands of the Netherlanders. But the most curious article in the printed Journalt is a letter containing private accounts received. or pretended to have been received, from Paris, in which the conduct of certain Ministers, who have had much to do, not only on the public theatre of Etlrope, but behind the curtains, is handled with great freedom. Ot the de gree of credit to which the statement is entitled our Readers must form theiiown opinion: BitussEts, AUGUST 26. The Generals commanding the Army of Reserve upon the Scheldt, the organization of which is prose cuted with unabAtiog activity, continually review the corps which compose it, and are highly satis6ed with the appearance and discipline of the troops. Since the disbanding of the French army, a great many Belgians who remained in it last year come here to enlist in the service of their Sovereign. At Valenciennes there is not a soldier of the line ram' airing: they are disbanded without reserve. The leer:: and the free corps are also disarmed, and sent home with a passport. The General Staff of the place is dissolved by the King's order, and commanded to leave the fortress, the duty of which is to be left en tirely to the Urban Guard, which is not numerous, so that this fortress it as good as in the hands of the Allies: the same is the case with Conde. The Go vernor of the fortress, and those who were concerned in the murder of Colonel Gordon, have fled; it is, however, afgrmed, that measures are taken to arrest and convey them to Paris, in order to be tried by a Court Martial. The garrison of Bouchain is not yet disarmed. _ _ Within three or four days, two divisions of caissons, loaded with money,.and under military escort, passed through here, on their way from Paris to Berlin : the first division consisted of twenty.cight, the second of seven waggons. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, AUGUST 17. Some days since 114rou Von Stein arrived here very unexpectedly, and proceeded immediately to Paris. It is hoped that his presence there will have important consequencs. • . The Ministers of a great power have declared, it k said, for the integrity of Prance to the disadvantage of Germany. A private letter, which, however, certainly wants confirmation. says, that they expected 'it Paris that T—. would not maintain himself in his post much longer ? at variance with F---, who has con e trived to gain all parties." Bunaparte, (says the above latter) had attempted is May Llit to excite the Turks to act against the Russians, while the armies of the latter were proceeding towards France, and has disclosed this plan to the Russian Cabi net ; Russia is, therefore. in bis favour ; F-- like wise contrived Bonaparte's journey to Rochefort, and his capture by the English; by this he has -gained England. To the Austrian Court he is stated to have discovered plans during the Congress at Vienna.; Austria is, therefore, well disposed towards him," The letter continues to say, !, he has the least influence on the Prussians, because he made the ridi culous proposal that the King should take the Crown of France, as Bonaparte was ruined and the Bourbon tamely generally hated. Frederick only laughed at this. F . stall at this moment is acting towards all the parties an equivocal and most dangerous part. , He has pointed vitt many adherents of Bonaparte, who, when they come to Paris, are concealed and protected by him, 'that he may employ or give -them up as he finds convenient. The sign of the discon tented, formerly a red pink, 'is now a straw carried !in the mouth." Another letter says. 04 Our contributions go on slowly since the Monarchs are here.; Prussia was to have the civil administration in eleven departments, but Talleyrand is said to have evaded this; our officers (of the police, &c.) are idle. Justus Gruner is not active, though thousands of the army of the, Loire come daily to Paris, openly or secretly and the whole population is against us. The telegraphs are frequently at work without our knowing for what end. Prince Blucher, •who is tired of all this, is said to have asked his discharge, which be has not how ever obtained. 4$ All is in a state of violent fermentation—one cannot see how the great and complicated problems can be solved. The French universally hang upon the Emperof Alexandei as theii deliverer from the dismembering or limiting of France by the other Powers, and yet this disinemberment seems unavoid ably necessary. The situation of King Louis is the worst of all, who stands in the most painful dilemma between the interest of his dynasty and that of the Allied Sovereigns, his protectors." Thursday Sir Hynsori Lows transacted business at Lord Bathurst's Office for a considerable time: he is expected to sail for St. Helena in:about a fortnight. It is now ascertained from authority, entitled to the fullest reliance, that no: a single regiment is yet put tinder orders for India—not a single regiment yet 'toted for the service in that part of the world ; nor is soy immediate arrangement for sending reinforie. ments thither in contemplation, nor any to a very large amount thought of, even as a measure of future propriety. . AMERICA. By the last Jamaica Mail we have received some interesting details respecting the Etpe.lit;in 1 eely sent froth Cadii under G •neral Montt-L.O. This lot( composed of 10 0)0 men and a large a:aval armanset. , is Oat +dr nearly frittered away. In the Island of Margarita, wherC the armament first arrived, the man *of war St. icter of Alc intara, blew up with 154,0 men, including sailors on boatd, 46 ),000 dollars, 700 quintals of gunpowder, s' eeral field pieces, and other stores ; together with 7)90 muskets, and a corresponding quantity of 4.lnthirg, accoutrements, &c. intended for the arming of fresh troops as Mcnnuo proceeded into the country. T .is accident has paralyzed the *h' le affair, and hence dates the undoing of the enterprite. Monaco intended first to conquer Caraccal, then to proceed by land to S4nta F& while a f rce was to take Carib tgena—or, if foiled, to hl , ckade the coast. New Granada was thus to be subjugated, and MORiLLO was then to proceed to Quito (01 course . by land) where, uniting with the troops of I !mates, and about 2.500, which had previously gone from Cadiz to Panama . , to all which were to be a t=ied the recruits who were to be at med with the cargo r n board the St. Peter of Alcantara, the combined artr.y was to proceed to Lima, and there again swelled LI flocking numbers, like a torrent it was at length to disembogue on Buenos Apes. This mad project was concocted by the man-milli. ner of the Virgin Mary and his sapient Ministers.— When arrived at Venezuela he had 2000 sick. This number was increased by the diseases of the climate. He had to contend with strong guerilla parties on his front and rear, and was obliged by circumstances, to send 3000 men to Vera Cruz. His original 'lots have all been frustrated. Want of money has obliged him to have recourse to terror to raise et:retributions. Even the European Spaniards are all exasperated, and the Independents in consequence increase in strength. Several bodies of troops Montra.o has sent out against the Independents, have been defeated and driven in, and crte Spanish dis ision of 7tio men was lately completely - destroyed by Guerrillas, bearing the name of General Rivas, who seem determined to avenge the cruel murder of their old leader. An Eng lish f: igate has been dispatched from Jamaica to La Guira and PuertoCavello, in order to claim the British merchant vessels Molina.° had sequestrated or Alain ed to transport his troops. It is generally believed that the Captain of said frigate, carries card, rs ca.e they are not delivered up, to sPiti , ..e them by main force. The Merchants also of Jamaica, in come. quence cf The frequent outrages they ezpetienee front the Spaniards, and aware of the great advantages England derives from a free trade with New Granada and the independent points, as allowed by the Su. preme Federative Gartirome;.ts ..I:i.recn, have made a strong remonstrarce to the British Government at home, soliciting its pro:-ctron, and the protnotioni of the main object for which tnish America is Con ten tag.
