AMEBA:if. • A curious debate took place in the Congress of the United States on the Ist of February. Mr. Shipherd, one of the Members for New York, moved the ap ptn ti tment of a Committee to consider of increasing the allowance of the Members of Congress for travel ling to and from that Assembly, and for attendance thereon. Mr. StitritEBn, in support of the motion, insisted that the Members of Congress had a right to increase their own pay, as well as to give an increase to the officers of the Government. lie thought that they ought to take care of themselves. He need not, he said, tell the House that the pay now received by the Members, was not half what its value was when that pay was nun ; more particularly when it was considered that the paper with which the Members were pail, eras full '25 per cent. below par or the valise of specie. His object was so to augment the pay of the Members as to make it equal to the dollars of that medium in which Members totmerly received their pay. Mr. of Tenn, said he did not *conceive this the proper time to enter into the consideration of this sui,ject.' He thought Gentlemen should let the nation get through the war, before they increased their p:,y. Mr. FAMtoW wis opposed to the motion through out on principle, and denied the alleged depreciation of money, which he said was very gladly received in payment, in dealings of any sort in the district. Mr. Substrata, in support of his first observation. said, that it was as obvious that all our paper was depreciated, as that the continental money was de preciated. He had no fastidious delicacy about him, which would plevent hint from doing justice to him self. If p tyment could be obtained in specie, it would be dl good arg o n neat against the ptoposed mo tion ; but it was notorious that for specie they must pay a discount of 25 per cent. on the paper which they :I .:rived for their pay. • bli. lbw, said, that every Member knew, when he was ci.o.cu, what compensation he was to expect, . and had no right to complain of it. He required the yeas and nays, tha‘ he might at least record his vote against the motion. Mr. I 1 ii of Geo, observed, if the object of the Gentleman was, as he had avowed, to give to the Men& rs a compensation adequate to their services, he world recommend to burn to depreciate their pay inite•id of iiicreasing it, for he was confident the acts of C..ngrt-ss haul depreciated as much as the paper of which Cie Gentleman had spoken. The question on the adoption of the motion was divided in the negative, by yeas and clays as follows : Far the Motion algoassi it 99 LOSS OF THE BRITISH SLOOF OF WAR SYLPH. New York, January 26. The Sylph was a British (ship) sloop of war, rated at 18 puns and carrying 2g. end was commended by Captain Dickers, with cr. w amounting, with !dwell and officers, to 111 persons, of whom it I p ri.hed.

By day-light she was perceived by the inhabitants, and a number itnntedhuily Lanceted and hastened tes the rehef. of the peoi From the heightb of ELe sort and the violence of the sea, however, it wis impossible to get to the vessel. The crew were all sat. —On of them in the tops and on the rigging, until half. pa-t elltht o'clock, when the Purser parted with thd Captain in the in zen-top and came :o the windward gun-whale ' which was then a. high uu of the water as her tops. Direct lyafter, a tre mendous sea capsized the ship and broke her in two between the fore and mainina..ts ; the fore rolled over and lies keel upwards, and the atter part, split lengthwise, went to pieces and dritted to the leeward The crew being thus dashed into the sea, were chi. fly drowned. A few ' , etre seen on pieces of the wreck, and every exertion made by the spectators to save them. fur Pur ser, Mt. Witham Parsons w:th two of the seamen, were taken off the spars about two o'clock in the afternoon, said three *Mire sailors, sometime atter. saved from the wreck, by a boat.

The inhabitants made the greate4 eon, to relieve the sufferers. Their humanity and ex ertions were grale,uLy acknowledged by Mr. Parsons ' the Pur ser, in a lever to Commodore Hotham, (of the Superb, off New Londot:,) who ret..rtied a polite and friendly answer, and pro mised •be r. lea-e , if in hes power, of a captured vessel and crew belongs' g to tha place, tor which purpose the flag that carried the letter was sent.

On Saturday, Mr. Wm. B.

SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1815. LADT•DAT. This day was a Holiday at the Bank ; but the Stock Exchange was open—Consols opened at 584 for the account, and went to 58. At twelve o'clock they were at 551, which is 1 per cent. more than they left of at on Thursday. The French party still keep selling. It is generally reported that the Minister will come for his Loan in the coarse of a few days. All regular intercourse between France and this country being now suspended, it is difficult to obtain authentic intelligence e what is actually passing in Paris at this moment, though nothing is more east► than to conceive a little of the adulation paid to the I restored Emperor ; the addresses, congratulations, professions of loyalty, laid at the feet of the Master of the French People ; the processions, the audiences, the condecension and affability of their Moved Em peror; the anticipations of triumphs, victories, and glory, to be yet brought to the great nation, under the auspices, and guided by the genius of her sublime Ruler. In the mean time it is determined that the legiti mate Monarch does not come to England. He means to make a stand at Lisle, where he now is, supported by the household troops, and a body of troops said to amount to 6000. Whether preparations may have been made to put the garrison in strength, by stores and ammunition, we do not know ; but a few days would be sufficient to procure supp'ies to it, of every description, and even for a part of our forces to march thither. Lisle is very strong, and canngt be taken but by a long siege, even. it the besiegers should be unmo lested. The forces we have in Flanders. iLinove rians and British, will doubtless be moved, to strengthen it. _ _ _ the dispatches received yesterday by the Duke de CHARTPES contained a later from the King of FRANCE in his own hand writing, to his Royal High ❑ess the PRINCk: REGENr, dated on Tuesday from Abbeville, in which, according to report, he states the urgent necessity of his quitting Pails, from the total failure of all resistance to the Usurper by the troops, and at the same time it is said he signified his determination to continue on the frontiers, to esta blish a rallying point at which all good Frenchmen faithful to their Sovereign might congregate for the re-eftablishrnent of legitimate authority. The above communications were brought by the Eliza, which landed her passenger% on the coast of Sussex, among whom, we are told, are the Duke of Tangsrusf,-the Duchess de CHARTRES, &c. Other dispatches received by government an 'pounce the safe arrival of his MAJESTY at Lisle, at tended by the Duke de BERRI, the Prince de CONDa. several of the great Officers of State, the foreign Ministers, ani maay ot:icr Nobility, and escorted by the household troops under the command of Marshal NI/11010NT. Duke of RAC:I44. The Duke of flourtuJN is in Li Vendee striving to rouse the dormant affections of the friends of royalty in that district. The Duke of ANGOULEUE IS also there; but whether any thing is intended to be instantly attempted in that quarter we have not learnt. It is possible that their loyalty may not be called into action till there be movements on some other point to divide and distract the forces of the usurper. 7 7-• Mr. Mtu.s, the Messenger, who arrived yesterday from Vienna, came by the way of Frankfort, with the intention of passing through Paris with dis patches from the Duke of WitudNcrou for Lord FITZROY SOMPISZT.—Mr. Mum, we understand, had got within two posts of Paris, when he received jai. (nation of the undisturbed progress of BONAPARTS. and his being then actually in the French capital. This information was given to him by the Postmaster. He immediately changed his route for Calais. He arrived at Abbeville the morning after the KING left that place for Lisle, attended by Lord F. Soatettser. At Calais, Mr. MILLS met Messrs. HUNTER and Fleur:, the Messengers, who left England with the last dispatches for Lord F. SONIERUT. Mr. MILLS informed them of the King's changing his route for Lisle, for which p!ace they act out yith all dispatch. He left Vietn.-4 early on the morning of the ISth inst. Before Mr. Mu.LS's departure from Vienna, the Allied Sovereigns had had different consultations, in consequence of the intelligence of BONAPARTS'S march towards Paris. They had not heard of his .advance beyond Lyons; but his procedure was con sidered as a most gross insult offered to all the Powers who had co-operated in restoring peace to Europe ; as a breach of the TTeary subscribed by 80. NAPAItTE ; and as threatening the safety of all Europe. —A strong Declaration and Protest against the Ty. rant was, it is said; published in consequence, but we have not yet seen si copy of it; and the Monarchs have agreed to co-operate, and expect the concur. rence of this Country in vilitever measures may be deemed necessary, at the present crisis, for the gene ral safety of Europe. It has been impudently awned by the Tyrant, that the French Government and the Allies had brojcen faith with him, inasspnch as they had not paid Lim the stipulated annuity for Isis maintenance and establishmint in . Elba. Now the fact is, that so far corn ailowini hie annuity •to get in arrears, at the time of his quitting Elba be had received aboUt, . 41100,000 more than was then due. The payments were, for the convenience of negotiation, made by bills drawn by Colonel CAPAPSILL on the British Treasury, and, we need not add, all of them were duly honoured. An OffiCa just arrived from Belgium gives the following particulars respecting the state of our forces in Flanders :—We have in the wbule YO regi ments, but on account of the dismission of a great number of invalids, the effective force did not exceed 14,000 muskets. These are distributed in various parts: at Antwerp we have ten battalions, at Ostend two, at Bruges two, and a considerable portion is as sembled round Brussels. The native Belgian troops, although nominally composed of 50 battalions, scarcely amount to 10.000 men. The officers are complete; but the regiments are full in no other respect. Of these forces the cavalry are most magnificently attired, but the foot is without any tinsel decoration. The Dutch troops in these districts are not of the best description, and do not exceed 6000 men, and these have with great difficulty been raised. The principal strength !or the defence of Belgium consists of the Prussian troops, which are in great numbers on the shores of the Rhine, also at Cleves, Juliers, and they fill almost the whole territory of Luxembourg. Their numbers are computed at neatly 80,000 men ready for immediate action, and which are already in motion for the protection of the im portant frontier 11,1 Aced under their controul. To speculate upon the measures which the Allied Powers may find it necessary to pursue in conse quence of BONAPARTE'S return to the sovereignty of France, would be absurd. In fact, the wiseststates men have been as much taken by surprise as the meanest subject by this unexpected movement. They cannot yet have decided on any one point, for the plainst of all reasons—there has not been time for an intercommunication of views and sentiments since BONAPARTE seized the Throne. That all would instantly adopt measures, for self defence at least, is obvious ; for they would fail in the protection they owed to their subjects, should they neglect the adoption of instant measures for ge neral safety, when threatened with so great a danger. It dues not follow, however, that war may be con sidered as already determined upon. The probability is, that BONAPARTE'S conduct will compel the other Powers to take the field, but they will not rush into war incopsideratelr ; but we can hardly contemplate the smallest probability of their being able to avoid it. In every department of our own Government pre parations. are making with great activity to be pre pared for the crisis. and to defend our Ally, the Sovereign of the Netherlands, should he be attacked by the Usurper. Ships, transports, military stores, 84c. are getting in readiness, and troops continue to march fur barkation. This morning 'the 7th Light Dragoons left Lon don fur ltamsgate, where they are to embark for the Netherlands. The 16th Light Dragoons will follow them to-morrow for the same destination, as will also some other troops of dragoons now in the vicinity of the Metropolis. A large draft will immediately take place from.the 'Foot guards for the same service. Although yesterday was a strict holiday, the Ad miralty was crowded with Naval Officers, on half. pay, vuliciting employment, and we understand that the wishes of many of them were gratified. Lord EXMOUTH (hue Sir E. Peuew) resumes the naval command in the Mediterranean, and will proceed to his station ;he instant a naval force can be assembled. His Lordship's first object will be to secure, for the BOURBON family, the Toulon fleet, which is known to consist of between 30 and 40 sail of the Nue. In consequence of orders received. yesterday, after ternoon at Deal, by a Messenger from the Admiralty, all the King's ships in the Downs were directed to proceed to the opposite coast. The REDPOLE, Cif L. umcza, and DEXTEROUS accordingly immediately unmuored and got under way. Twenty transports of large burthens have been taken up by Government for the conveyance of ca valry, which will be embarked for Flanders without delay. Yesterday being Good Friday, Divine Service was performed at Carlton House by the Rev. J. S. CLARKE. This day his Excellency the Duke de Fru.rau, the Feench War Minister, had an interview with the Duke of Yotur and Lord PaLmEns . rou, at the Horse Guards. We understand that all the Duke de FELTIIIeS bag age, which contains many valuable documents, is detained at Calais. , The baggage of the Royal Family is said to ha ve . r been stopped at Calais by order of B oN w a E.. The whole of the coast is already under his Alithotity.— The Governor of Calais is said to have quitted Calais to join the King. The Monarchs and Mem b ers of the Congress were expected to separate and leave Vienna the week be. fore last ; but the news of the landing of BONAPARTK in France caused tlem to reassemble on Sunday sell night ; the Duke 4WILLLINGTON was present. The Empress of Russtw was waiting at Munich in expec tation of the EMPEaoIt to return to Russia. The account in some of the Newspapers about the Duchess of W.q.LINGTON having brought over the Crown Jewel: of France, is erroneous s but a consi derable'amount in specie was fortunitely conveyed from Paris into tia country abOut ten days since, as wisely prepaxatm tq the event which has so disas‘ musty taken plve.
