AMERICAN PAPERS. FROM T • HE LEXINGTON GAZETTE, AUG. 28TII. I A Gentleman has just arrived from St. Louis, who • informs us that a Treaty of Peace has been negotiated with the hostile Indians in that quarter, and that the depredations on the frontiers had ceased. Colonel Miller's regiment was ordered to Detroit, and is to be replaced by one commanded by Colonel Nicholas. PITTSBURG, Sr.IYTEMBER 2. By the arrival of a Gentleman direct in this place from Detroit, we have intelligence that to the 20th ult. the expediti6n to Oticago and Greenbay has been Po aponed by General Brown, until the next Session. 1 Ise various tribes were collecting at Detroit, and no ' elq.6t was eittc:Laineiii that every thing would be amicably adjusted, • SOUTH AMERICA. Letters have been rec ived from Panama, giving an account of operations in that neighbourhood sub sequpt to the details received by the Jamaica G.►. zettes, of a most important nature. It is said that the Commander-in-Chief, General Mot ill°, conduct-, ing the expedition in that quatter, basing accom. plished his purposes ia lietiezuf:ll, has reaanbarked his troops to the number of ten thousand men, and has actually set sail, to procee.l the Atlantic, to double Cape Horn, and to terruiaatc his voyage at Lima, on the Pacific Ocean, During his stay on the shores of the Gulph, a Spanish frigate had arrived from the Parent Country, the dispatches by which, it is supposed, occasitared tite alteration of all the projects of General Molutto, to wards Vera Cruz and Mexico, and compelled him to undertake this new and remote enterprise, which, it is assumed, the critical state of the Peruvian country had rendered expedient. Although it is asserted that the people of Terra Firma had submitted, yet it was presumed, that as soon as might be convenient after the disappearance of Mortitto, the Patriots would resist and overcome the feeble authority which remained to command them. S Ina well-informed persons entertain the opinion, that the direction of Morillo would be totally different from that which was pretended, and that he would proceed ;0 Vent Cruz to preserve Mexico and its trea sures trom danger ; but it was naturally and con believed, that should he take the opposite rtu.ze, he would enter the river Plate on his way, and reduce 13uenos Ayres to submission, placing that Viceroyalty under the immediate superintendance.and prtqection of Anigues, for the Spa t nish crown. FRENCII PAPERS. CHAMBER OF PEERS. SITTING oF THE: '2.5 111 OCTOISCII. The Due de e FriziaNt ES, after a long panegyric on the conduct of the Duke de Angouieme, made the following proposition: " The Chamber of Peers, grateful for the !ervices rendered to Franje, after having solicited and oh. l tained tile permission of tl.e King her that purpose, will vote its thanks to the Doke d'Angoulente, for his conduct in the Soothe' lkpaitinent, since the snooth of March in the i , re:eot CA:." A general ietaing of assent was manifested in fa voar of the proposition. MoNstecit, being present at this Sitting, demanded to be heard, and spoke as follows :—" Gentlemen,. pardon the emotion e..hic!. is excited in the breast of a tatlier by the. panegyric of a son, worthy of all my love ; worthy,l venture to pronounce,- of the love of all France; but he is absent, and cannot e:.press to the Assembly the impression which will be made viloti him by the proposition sulnuitted to you, and by the reception which it at this moment meets. I ought to be his interpreter—l ought to manifest to you, on this point, my sentiments, which, I am as sured, w:11 be his. He cannot but be Clattered with the precious testimonies of your esteem; but learn all my thoughts—if my son had had the happiness of di:playing against the external enemies of France, that courage which you wish to honour in his person, such a recompence would be the height of satisfac tion to me and to him ; but a Frenchman, a French Princ can the Duke d'Angouleme forget that it was against misled Frenchmen that he was compelled to fight? And how much did that cruel necessity test his heart. Allow me then, Gentlemen, to refuse for my son, thanks acquired by such a title. As to the retreat of the Spanish troops, it was not to my son, it was to the whole of the South, that we owe the obli gation...-it was to the excellent spirit with which those provinces are animated—it was to the devotedness, to the fidelity of France for its King, and to the homage which the noble Spanish character paid to that fide lity, that we owe the retreat of the troops which the King of Spain sent to our frontiers, with the most tcntily and generous intentions. Forl these reasons, and appreciating as I ought the reception given to the proposition which has been submitted to you, I Amy,: the order of the day on that proposition." The diecoutse of Monsieur was interrupted in se veral places by the applause of the Assembly. They demanded the printing of his speech, which was orde:ed. CHAMBER OF PF,ERS, OCTOBER 2E. The Peers met at t .vo o'clock. The Chancellor took the Chair. The Proces verbal of the proceed. ings oi yesterday was arranged and adopted. The Marquis ce tiorstotv, one of the Peers nanled by the King on the 17th of August last, took the oaths and his seat. Alter some further preliminary forms, the opinion of the Chamber was taken, Whether the discussion of the plan of law presented yesterday, and examined in the Bureaux, should now be proceeded upon, or the plan be ieterreci to a General Committee to re port thereon ? The Chamber having decided to proceed to the discussion, several Members spoke for and against the nicasur.:, which was the plan of law for arresting and detaining under arrest, without the necessity of briogi-g them to trial, persons charged with certain oQences Against the person and family of the King, and other politic 4 -flew:es, specially described. . the rtrrt of the discussion which we 61. d in the .1116aiteur o the ah,. is, of course,• the one fuinished by the CO:talk:. itself. The name's of the Speakers are omitted : the only distinction made, is thaw of first Sih.44r, second Speaker, &c.] The first Spcaket s without any prenoble, entered at once into the consideration of the two main branches into which the question divided itself—ls the pro posed law just?—ls it necessary?—With respect - to the first point, Ovate interests should yield to the general exigency; and eviledisposed men should be deprived of the mean"; of carrying their plots into effect. If, on discovering a on tire, and break ing open the dnots to rescue the inhabitants from the dames, d complaint should bti made, that these inha bitants were disturbed in their rest, would net such complait,t be deemed absurd and ungrateful?—On I the point t•i necessity, he apreal , d to the experience of our late disasters, in prow cif the in.ulliciency 01 the law as it !stood, when assailed by compirators and factions. The Charter, agaiost which conspiracy was directed, served as an zgis to the conspirators, and betrayed the Governmeet it should -have pro tec•ei. reginten of health will not answer in sicknecs, nod th , , man:igen:eat Of a ship in a storm must be vcry . d•tErent frran it is in a calm.— This Speaker voted for the simple adoption of the law, as it stoo.i. The Asserublyordered that his Siteech should be !stinted. The secen , l Spell:or disoutei the justice and the necesiy of the me.!,iire. I; was not necessary, be cause the tesponsi ility of the Ministers existing as yet but in principle, the Ni.iiister of General Police could, in all cases, ut 11 - !!) own act, make, with impu nity, ail such ariests aed iientions as he should deem tvce.,saty to the safety of the King and the estate. The measure was bec.tuse it converted mere suspicions into groitn.:s of charge, and upon these charges legalized arre' ts and imprisonments for indefinite periods; unjust, because it deprived the accused of the sacred 1-4;lit of bt-inir, tried—of being tried by their natpral jud:.;es—by judges not remov able; it was unjust, in extenda..; over the whole country provisions, which, if necessary any where, could not be necess try every where, and yet would be every where applicable, and would be dangerous wherever they were not indispensable. dan gerous would be a law under w !licit any body might be considered as suspected, and all who were sus pected liable to be so severely punished ? He did not think that the suspension oh the Habeas Corpus in England, or the Roman form of Caveant Comae:, constituted precedents in point. Being determined to vote against the measure, he wished the Chaniber, if resolved to adopt it, at least to refer it to a Com mittee for modification. _ A third Speaker, conviced of the justice and ne cessity of the measure, wished on those vet y monads to propose some anienJments. First, he wished the warrants of arrest and detention to he issued by Cite Ministers alone, and on their rripinsibility, by the Pie fects ; 2.1, that the Ministers slioulsl, days after the opening of the lieu S. - Ltion, Ale,: to the Chambers an account of du• acts done by them in virtue at this l a w ; 3.1, the liberation of At persons detaived w!;o shimid not have been btc,u t ,ht to trial by thx. those e..inlitious he was prepared •to vote for 1 iv:. .11e r!looght.t nvtv %voiding re quisite to th- second clan which, ;is it stood, was explained i t a dilfeieitt s.:nse by every dia . -lent Mem ber of both Oiarri!,,,:s. Ttie Ll . Jc:a:d that this spTech sliGuld be prita:d. A fourth ;I:ielter approved el the law as a tent- • porary ureasur.c. It was ir:ipo-ssiule to conceal irons ouriclves the lILIVMUVICS, the hopes of a party, to which we owed Our calanri!ies. If the Govern ment had posscs-, d, at • recvnt epoch, the powers now propoted to be granted. con4l (Le triumph' of crime that occurred have been ho easily effected ?-- Let us profit from experience ; and let the return of similar prischict, be prevented by adopting this men sure, the loco:teenier:cies of which were not by any means to be compared with its advantages.—This speech was ordered to be printed. A fifth Speaker, admitting the urgencies of the times, and the neccs , ,ity of confiding extraordinary powers to the Government, pressed the propriety of defining the AutirmiticAs to which .tite execution of the law should be entrusted. If every local Magi strate was to act upon it at his discretion, it might become vexatious in the extreme. A sixth Speaker thought the safety of the State de pcnded on the adoption of the law. He therefore wished serious attention to the wording of the clause, respecting those who should have the authority of executing. it. He thought this authority shluld test with the Ministers, subject to an account tol'Jury of, both Chambers. He condemned the use of the King's name in any measure of justice, other, than the exer cise of clemency. He recommended deliberation : there was see need of haste, as the police WAS on the watch while the Chambers deliberated.—This speech is to be printed. A Member thought the discussion had pile to a sufficient length,. and that the Committee of Special Examination ought to be named. Other Members being of a different opinion, the discussion proceeded. A seventh Speaker thought this law coincided with the expression tir the Adams to the King, recom mending to his Majesty the right: ofjuseice. The De puties of the departments, whose local knowledge rendered then) bast qualified to judge, had adopted the measure purely and simply. He wished the Peers to imitate their example. [The report extends in this way in speeches of name. less orators, productive of little novelty or interest.] A Pier observed, that the indecision of the As sembly seemed chiefly inntle,:ced by the idea, that the formidable power of satin ing attests would be delegated to an infinity of subaltern officers ;' in his opinion, this power was ;imaged to those func tionaries alone who enjoys it in virtue of anterior laws, and that the officers of whom he spoke, had merely the right, like all other citizens, of arresting, an hue I and cry , an individual taken in the fact, or of issu ing, in cases specified to each of them, summons of appeurance or doe/. He begged the Minister oh General Po:ice, who was present, to give some in formation on this subject. The Mrstieree, after confirming the ex;-I, , nation of the previous Speaker, added, :fit the law conte.ined no innovation in this respect. The power of ordering arrests would continue in the li olds which r:iready ex ercised it. The number of Magistrates who should be armed with it, was not restrained; loit it would not be,. mended. To limit the power to Ministers alone, and; area special delegates, would be to mistake the object cf the law: Tjte crimes which it was proooseLl to reach,' were not concocted in the centre of the kingdom alone. A spark destined to produce a mill %ration, might proceed from one of its extremities. and if orders ,from a Minister were necessary to quench it, before they arrived the fire might have burst forth. It was necessary to distinguish the different kinds of warrants Those of arrest would be issued by judges of crirni- ' nal process al , me, irremoveable magistrates. War rants of summons and of depot would be issued by other functionaries to whom the right belonged. W..s this what could be called an arbitrary regime, a law of Jurihae.i? He might be 'allowed to say, that the Government would not go back to times of crimes and calamities, fur examples applicable to present c•rcumstanccs, and employ, in support of legitimate authority, the nicapu which strengthened usurped power. The close of the discussion was again called for, but being opposed by a number of Members was again continued. A new Speaker observed, that the measure was called by its Loesni , s a law of terror. But was it nut rather destined to terrify crime ? Could the days in which we live be compared to revolutionary t i ne', or the reign of the best of kings to the clomirtat:tfn o; the vilest of tyrants ? Another Peer, with a view to obviate the dangers which nti .ht attend the execution of the law in its present loyl, propoted„ toot the pnwir of itsuiii,; warrants slr.ald be confined to the Minister of l'ilic,, and under his or.!et s to the Prefects and Atomics General. 111 quoted the ex.imple of Eogiaihi. where, d'iri' t the suspension .Jf the Hibeas Corp'.' Act, the ten of.: potver thence resultity, could only he exercised by authorities of the first rank, on their own respiehility. A Speaker in reily to this alln.ion, nitrated to the sevoities ex rcised in England in 1713 and 1745, when the Mira: Corpus act WAS suspended. On ad verting to titese pe; .ds, it would he seen with wlt.:l severities a sedition was pot dowa—t:ve hundred in. divijuals pnoished with death, a thousand others transported, four Peers sent to the scaffold ; and yet this law is charged with rigour, which, by the side of measures indispensable to the safety of the state, places all the ptecautio.is calculated to tranquillize the citizens. The necessity of the law had been called in question. If facts did not speak loudfy enough, he would invoke in their SIIVIUnt the universal Wiltlincut, which,from one end cf France to the othzr, cait:d for a law of repression. 1-..!e examined, for a rnuatent, what that ni in wool.! have (low in circunistane t much less weir!fity, who lately sat on the throat• t , l our Klngs. l'he secrets of correpoli,!ei;ce violated. the interior of houses, of tamili,s, violated—sue would have been among the mil,:est ine.:ns employed j to cairn his inviettisfe ; and :tow, w..ea the questi r • was about the mildest of linigs, when the Wag: would justify the severest meastite, -c uld we reject a rrcpositron As wise a. moderate ? lVe, the 1 els of France, and the hereditary suppaiters of the ant naic.iy ! . After several other speeches, the das', was closed by the vote. It was then pi-iris:Al, that the final de hoc:.3tioit should take place, without the interveneon at a Central Committee, the clauses having been read, it was conceived already sufficiently discussed. This proposition was finally adopted, notwith warding some opposition.—ln consequence cf tb lateness of the hour, the final deliberation was de ferred till next day, the 27th. On that day the law was adopted. p CHAMBER OF DEPU [IE3. SITTINO OF SATURDAY, oc:l.°mi:ft 26. After some prvlirninary business, tlw 11l l lutes of the t ing of the ‘23(1 w. re read. M. de CASTELBAJAC.II3 that sitting, when v:t adopted thejaw relative to the detention of the sil; pectcd, a fine movement on the part of . the Assonibly gave a formal contradiction to the lying icperts sprelo by the Gaz.:ttes, as to the South. Thi, fact has been ornltted in the minutes. I move, that it be inserted there. The PRESIDENT. —The standing orders bear, that the speaker who departs from the question may he called to order by the Presi:tent. It shat Member persists, then the President may direct the call to ol der to be inserted in the minutes. In case of perti nacity, the Assembly orders this inscrti..m, accom panied with censure. • A Member.—lt is then the name which is inserted; but at least the fact should be entered. The PlteslDENT.—Nothing is stated of the name of the Speaker, but of the circumstance itself. Per. hapi, in this state of doubt, it will be your opinion, that It is best to confine yourself to the slightest censure. After some farther conversation, M. deCastelbajac agreed to wiPluiraw his motion. M. ns VAUULANC, Minister of the Interior, then mounted the tribune, to propos% a law for the re establiAnnent of departmental companies, called C •mpanies of Reserve. This he described as a force composed neither or gend'armerie nor of the army, but a sort of mixed (nice to be at the disposal of the Prefects. He said, it was, perhaps, owing to the ormization of these departmental compAnies, that the late Government was indebted for /hat internal activity which sometimes astonished Europe. They would be of great use, while the re-organization of the French army was not yet effectuated.—He then read the plan of law to the above effect. • PARIS, OCTOBER 27.

We hive been since assured, and we are requested to state, that neither the Vienna Court Gazette, nor any of the jour. nals published in that city, contain any such article. It appears certain, that all the points of discussion relating to the peace have been at length terminated some days since, and that all the conditions have beet: i.gteed upon; but it is said, that on account ot parti cular circumstances it will nut be definitively signed till the beginning of next month.
