WASIIINGTON, SEPTEMBER Ss. John Graham, Esq. one of - the Commissioners ap pointed to treat with the Northern Indians, arrived in this City on Tuesday, with a Treaty signed at Spring Wells; the nth instant, by the Commissioners and Chiefs of all the Tribes with which they were autho rised to treat. The Treaty is entirely satisfactory, we learn, and stipulates for the faithfcl performance cf all previous Treati'es. His Majesty's ship .5211VN7: arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Madras. which she left on the 9th of July, and touched at the C.ipe in September, on her passage home. Th 4 Company's ship ScALEBY CASTLE, homeward-bound, left the Cape on the 25th August. The Treaty of Peace wiLh the Nepaulese Govern ment, brought by his Majesty's ship SPHYNX, is highly advantageous to the interest of the Eat India Company. Yesterday Mr. GREENWOOD entertained his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief and a select party, with an elegant dinner at his house in Audley-3quare. The Earl of MaLstsnuity is much indisposed at his house in Privy Gardens. The Duke of BounnoN is returned to England, to [ attend on his sister, who, we believe, is in a conven tual retreat at Chelsea. A letter brought by the Brussels Mail of yesterday states, that a part of the Austrian force marching from France had received orders to retrograde and occupy Alsace. Perhaps the speedy signature of the Convention, which the last French Papers promised, should be imputed to this movement: c , owgARING th THE LOUD MAvott.—Yesterday, ac cording to annual custom, the LonD MAYOR, in the k City State Coach, accompanied by his Chaplain and the Sword and Mace bearers; the Loan Mayon Elect in his new superb State Carriage, the Sheriffs in their State Carriages • several Al dermen, accompinied by - Ladies, to their carriages, preceded by the City Marshals in their splendid uniforms, on horseback ; the Lord Mayor's footmen in their superb state liveries, the Marshalmen, Bea dies of the several NArt4ds, 'Street-keeper', and City Constablet with their staffs, on foot, two and two; the Fishmongers, Mercers, and Needkmakers' Companies, in their liveries, with a band of ex cellent music, and the • flags or colours of their respective Companies flying, proceeded in grand state from the Mansion-house to Guildhall, where they were met at the entrance by the Master and Court of Assistants of the Fishmongers' Company, to vihicb the Loan MAYO& Elect belongs. On the pro Cession passing %hi ough die Hall to the hustings, they were considaably impeded by the crowd, who greeted both the new and old Lord Mayors with unusual marks of approbation. Between the hustings and the body of the Hall was a tarp. space, tilled with a numher of Ladies, elegantly tire: , ied, seated on benches covered With scarlet cloth, v,iiere they be held the ceremony of the new Loan MAYOR being sworn into office and invested. After the cere mony of swearing in, the. cryer adjourned the meet ing in the usual form, and the cavalcade returned in t;ie . same grand procession to the blausion-house, where the late Lotto Mavou gave them a sumptuinis entertainment, generally termed his larcv,cll dinner. This being Lard 'Mayor's Day, they proceeded by water in the usual state, from Blackfriar's-bridge to Westminster-hail, where the new Lord Mayor was introduced to the Barons of the Exchequer, alter which they visited - the several Law Conrui, according to custom, and invited the Judges to the grand civic entertainment. given at Guildhall. COAL TitA De. —On Wednesday week, 150 colliers sailed from Shields for London, and all the ships re maining in the Tyne wereexpected to clear out in the course of this week. Every thing remains tranquil. 01: Sunday se'nnight, the Right Worshipful the M.tvon of NowcaAle, received a letter, dated the 27th ult. from Mr. AnDINOTON, in which he assures the Mayor, " that it is highly gratifying to Lord Stow:tau to learn, that, by the zealous and firm co operation of the civil, naval, and military Authorities of Newcastle and its neighbourhood, the power of the law had been effectually re-established, and order and tranquillity restcired." And on the next day, he received the following letter from Lord Stumovrit : wiirrEHALL, OCTOBER 2R, 11115. " St —I am commahtied by his Royal Itgliness the Patrice REG wt . , to express to you his Royal Highness's entire approba tion of those vig nous and decisive measures, by which, on the st instant, the harbour of Welds was, under your authority, taken out of the It..uds of a lawless combination, and the free Di. vication of the River Tyne elf• ctually restored.

Many ships have been in the Tyne eight or nine weeks. The ports of Tyne and Wear have continued petfectly tranquil, and the greater pact of the ships . with which they were crowded have proceeded to sea. The riotous seamen at Blyth prac tised a deception, by causing a man on horseback to enter North Shields at midnight of the 21st ultimo, baited as a ruiner, but who, it war, afterwards found, conveyed a . message to the refractory Committee of Sailors, then sitting at the siren of the Roebuck.— Resistance was next day practised at Blyth on board the Sterling, - Cana, and her will-inclined crew for cibly taken out of her.

But there are . even far more striking incidents in his eventful and wicked I:fe, which will " Point a ninral or adorn a :ale" to latest posterity : we shall, th..r. fore, make no apology for banging his interesting biograpL y before our Readers. Murat's father was a water . carrier in Pads, bat having committed some c:ime, he tied from the police and took refuge in the mountains of Dauphiny, were then infested hy numerous bands of smugglers, brigands, and coioers. While pursuing this honour able vocation, in 1761 e a son %cc: born to him in the person of our hero. In May, 1769, Murat's father was tried and convicted at Valence of belonging to the corps of brigands commanded by a celebrated 'robber of the won:: of Manirin, e:ho was for many years a terror to the inhabitants of Dauphiny. Old Murat suffered the barbarous punishment of breaking on the wheel, and his son Joachim was sent to the Orphan-House at Lyons. It is a curious circutu.aance connected with this part of Murat.% h:story, that the infamy of his cniTrin has been stoutly contested since hi; ckvation to rank and power: he has been repeatedly described as the son of a respecCible innkeeper at Calnrs ; but, unfor. tunately for this assertion, the records of tile cities of Valence and of Lyons, are still in existence to attest ' the fact ; and though last not least, we are in pos session of a letter from Murat himself to the Jacobin Club, dated 23th July, 1793, and inserted in all the Paris Journals of that day, in which he plainly avows the circumstances of his father's death. lag: a o'int Culotte 1 1 birth," he says in that curious prpduction, as well as MARAT : my father dird a vicii , a to the tyranny of King:, as Mara did to the treachery of Kingly aristocracy." From the Orphan-House of Lyons, Murat was taken, at a very early age, by an actor of the name of St. Aubin, as an errand-boy, and in a year or two he became call-boy to the theatre of Lyons. In 1780, when about sixteen years of age, he first appeared as an actor, and bustled through the characters of vas as, and walking gentlemen, until 1786, when being hissed while playitig a part in a comedy called Le Circle, he menaced the spectators by drawing his sword, and was instantly ordered off the stage. Next day be enlisted in the regiment of cavalry called Rryal aillemagne, in which he continued a private until 17S0, when that regiment was ordeted to Paris to overawe the Duke of Orleans, La Fayette, an other infamous partizans of atheism, treason, and rebellion, the fruits of whose labours Europe has been reaping fur twenty-hoe years. Murat deserted from his regiment in the Champs Ely sees, an act of treachery which proved an excellent recommenddtion to Li Fayette, who was then orga nizing a National Guard on the eingular congruction of allowing soldier; to be a deliberative body; and Murat, instead of being well flogged and returned hand cuffed to his regiment, was, by this patriotic reformer, made a corprral. Murat's experience on the st:tge, added to a graceful exterior and active dispositions with a smattering of the low jargon of liberty and equality, coon procured him promotion ; and San term, the brewer, of infamous memory, made him a Lieutenant in the battalion of St. Antoine, of which the former was Colonel. On the 20th of June, 1792, Murat attended San terre, as a kind of Aide-de-Camp, am a visit paid by that ruffian to his Sovereign, then a prisoner-at-large in the castle of the Thuilleries. Murat, on this occa- 1 sion, vociferated to the King, without any pretext whatever for addressing his Majesty—" Louif, to un trentre, nous faut to tote.'' And when Madame) Elizabeth courageously reproached him for thus in sulting his superiors, the vulgar rntlian drew his sword and exclaimed—" rah tei, coquine, autrensent je Sc coupe en deux." That this effusion of Jacobin po liteness pleased La Fayette and Santerre mightily cannot be doubted, for neit day Murat was formally i gazetted by them as an Aide-de-Camp or Officer of i the Staff to both. On the occasion of the dreadful massacres of Sep. tember, in the same year, Murat commanded the guard stationed to protect the prison of La Force from the fury of the . savages who went about butcher ing the unhappy inmates of the prisons of Paris.— .When we inform our Readers that every individual in the prison of La Force perished under the hands of the assassins, and that Murat himself joined in the horrid transaction, we apprehend they will suppose that the protection afforded by the new made Aide-I de-Cimp to the prisoners, was that afforded by the wolf to the lamb. The beautiful and accomplished Princess of Lamisalle was assassinated on that occa :ion; and a refinement of savage barbarity was prat. tired by Murat on the breathless corpse of that lovely innocent, which, if it were not authenticated by living eY':.-witnesser, would be incredible. It was one nt trstise atrocities of witich - the Latin historian would , have said—rs Refterium hots facliou p le d nee p oi:, fingere, arc sonaroi net *mu: inlifar f ftoto cr us,, Soon afterwards Margie who became the not sent to th ‘Lyon p t l irs, n e tted h i i n s t t a h l e en c i am s being found tr h es z :eag,ti.: patron of Joachim, made him I.Colonel, bath- . useful at Paris , where he made speeches i n til t cohin Clubs, and Afterwards Murat had the post of loo lour 'erred on him, by his murderers, of com rnan el' i:i the guard which conducted the unfortorrate Sur, - reign from the Temple, first to the liar of th e c m ; vention, and subsequently to the seaf ild. o t t, last melancholy occasion he was on horseback by tl, side of Sauter:.-, when the drums were ordered t beat, to drown the dying words of his aovere;a. and from fklurat'q Fps the word of command to 7 ... drummers issued ; f.ar the beast Ssoterre wa s I , drunk to otter an intelligible syliable car the o7cr.i., The mo.t hmtling period of Mur:t's menced.
