A Committee, consisting of Cardinals Doria, della Somaglio. and Mattei, has been appointed to examine itarticularly the conduct of the two Prelates, who seem to have given most cause of offence to the Holy See, during the misfortunes of the Church. No European Power has as yet made known if the Bull in favour.of the Jesuits shall be received in its States. Our Court is unease at this silence. There was lately found near Pasquinio a satire, en titled, 44 Lamentations of a new Jeremiah." From what we hear of this production, the Author has acted wisely in withholding his name. Upon the formal de mand of Ferdinand VII. the Prince of the Peace has been ordered to quit Rome. He has gone to Pesaro. G RENO BLE t SEPT. 23. The day before yesterday a dreadful accident hap ptned here. The fire-workers room at the arsenal blew up, and fourteen persons lost their lives : by prompt Assistance the flames were prevented from ex tending to the powder magazine, which was only a few hundred paces distant. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SEPT. 2k This day, in consequence of a communication from the Chancellor of France, the Chamber deliberated on the Naturalization Law with closed doors. SLPTIVADER 29.—This day the debate was conti nued, and sevtral eminent Speakers delivered their opinions at great length. The law, as amended by the Committee, was finally voted : the numbers were 139 to 54. This morning we received &noels and Frankfori Papers, which supply us with the following articles GHENT, SEPTEMBER 26. The best tutderstanding and intimacy continue to pre►ail between the two Legations at the Congress. Oa Thursday the Americans gave a grand entertain- Ment to a hundred persons, to which the English Ministers and a number of the principal citizens were invited. While we see the Ministers of the two na- tions behave to each other with the greatest friend slip and remain constantly at their post, we cannot but wonder at seeing continually, both in the London and Paris Papers, articles which state, among other things, that Lord Gambier has asked leave of his Court to return to London, because his presence i. no longer necessary at the Congress ; that the Mini. stry hive consented ; that the American Ambassa dors begin to assume a very lofty tone ; that the pre tensions of England are so extravagant, that an arrangement is impossible; that the Neptune is to sail in a fortn:ght, to convey the American Legatior home. All these assertions prove how little the writers are acquainted with the affairs of the Congress. On the otlicr hand we have seen with still more astonishment, in one of our own Gazettes, an extract of a letter from Ghent, saying—" Two strangers of distinction bad been introduced into the Hotel of the Ameri;:an Ambassadors, and that they ware certainly the Russ:an Mediators so long expected." It is well known that the British Government :las long since re fused the mediation of Russia, declaring its resolu tions to finish the affairs of the Muted State:: without the intervention of any third power. The two stran gers were no other than the Secretaries of State. Messrs. Falk and Baron de Capellan, who, as we said, were present at the entertainment given by the Ame rican legation in their Hotel of Lovendighem. PARMA, SEPT. 16. There are persons who take a pleasure in exciting uneasiness in the minds of the inhabitants, by affirm ing that these three Duchies will be given at Vien — na to the Queen of Etruria. It is only the intolcrants, and the friends of the Inquisition, who hold this : In guage ; the real friends of their country are much satisfied with the present order of things. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 9. nis Royal Highness the Prince Sovereign, after srisning Maastricht, Hasselt, and a part of the left beak cf the 2:l;:ttse, arrived on the 2(301, at noon, at Namur. The Prince reviewed the Dutch garrison commanded by General Stedman, and then examined the fortfications of the castle, which is to become one of the bulwarks of Belgium. On the 27th, early in the morning. his Highness left Namur, and arrived at Mons in the afternoon ; the brilliant reception given him in that town—the - _ joy and enthusiasm that animated its inhabitants, greatly affected the heart of a Prince whose sole ob ject is to make us forget the misfortunes that have affeted our country for these twenty years. In the evening his Royal Highness honoured with his pre tence a magnificent fete given by the city at the Hotel of the Mayer. On The 28th, id the Mania& be lode' on horseback to view the canal from Mons to Conde, and returning soon after, left the capital of Hainault, and arrived in the evening at Brussels. The Quest:diem, of Paris, is very angry with the Gazette of Mentz, and the Mercury of the Rhine, for pretending that the internal concerns of Germany ought to be settled without the intervention of France. SWITZERLAND, SEP T. 20. The Cantons of Schwitz and Underwald persist in refusing to join the Diet. On the 17th the whole Council of Schwitz, and thirty-two Deputies from Underwald, alter high mass, swore in the church to observe the alliance of 1315. After the oath are Darns was celebrated. Besides the Deputation to represent the Diet, the Cantons send Members for themselves : thus Colonel La Harpe gees from Pays de Vaud, Mr. Renger from Argovia, Mr. de Mullenneu from . Berne, and Mr. Charles Pielet from Geneva. We have been favoured with some interesting com munications from the British Army which captured Washington : Nothing could be more truly gallant than the conduct of all the troops on shore, including the royal marines and seamen, but the 85th regiment, in particular, distinguished themselves. These heroes, mindful of their former glory, rushed on the crowded ranks of the Americans, and though not one to five in number, scattered them like sheep before the wolf. The American sailors fought better, and the only officer among the enemy who sheaved any bravery commensurate to the occasion, was the venerable Commodore Ilanscr, to whom after his capture our officc.rs payed marked. attention, and whom they per mitted to go on his parole. Ha was wounded in five different places. The flotilla he destroyed was a very fine one, the gun-boats being unusually large. It has been observed, that had he stuck fast to his boats and defended them to the last, it w.mild have cost us more men to reduce them, than we afterwards lost throughout the subsequent operations. BARNES after be was wounded, was taken by a srldier of the 85th, whom the Commodore requested to stay by him and take care of him, expressing a wish at the same time to remain where itis captured guns were. The man replied that his comrades appeared to be warmly engaged, and that he must go to assist them, and BAIINEY, to induce him to comply with his wishes, pulled out his watch and offered it to him, which the soldier immediately refused, saying, that if he could not remain with him without a reward, he would not take a bribe, and then left him. After the action was over our ollicera visited the Commodore, who related the circumstance to them, and requested that the soldier might be called out of the ranks to confirm what he had said. The - soldier apprave4i and BARNEY observed to him, that as he .would not receive his watch to - induce him not to da his duty, would he do him the favour to receive it for having done it ? To which the soldier replied, " No, Sir, I cannot, you are a prisoner." Various other circumstances might be related of the magna nimity as well as the bravery of our men, but being insensed at tha treacherous and unmanly conduct of the Americans in general, they pursued them, when in the field, to the furthest point of hostility. When our people entered Washington, the first house of consequence which they went into was that hclor,g;ng to IvlarmsaN, the table of which they, found laid out with a go::d repast, and decorated with seve ral decanters containing wine, &c. It is said that one of the soldiers tied up the plates, and knives and forks in the table-cloth and brought them away. The house was immediately set fire to. Before the door there was a coach into which some of the moveables had been placed by the servants, but which they had abalidoned. The soldiers amused themselves by knocking this coach to pieces with the but-ends of their muskets. If there had been any, cavalry on the spat, MADISON might have been taken pri►oner, for the Officers of the 85th distinctly saw him mount his horse when the militia took to their hecli. He was accompanied by two others The frigate which was burnt was named the Es sex, and partly coppered, with her decks in ; was cf the largest class, and destined for PORTER, and the . late crew who were taken by the Pun and Cos-. nes, and in which they had promised to take yen- , geance for their defeat ! It was• Rear-Admiral Coca- BURN who induced General Ross to push on to Wa shington. The Admiral knows the country and the coast well, and the Americans consider him as the greatest enemy they have. A short time since, they offered 10,000 dollars for his head. We rejoice that the Admiral has had an opportunity of teaching us and them the value of it. The following Bulletin of the state of the KING'S health was yesterday exhibited at St. James's : WINDbOR CAVILE:, OCrOBER MAJESTY continues tranquil, but his disorder is unabated." Yesterday dispatches were received at the Secre tary of State's Office, from the Charge des Affaires at Lisbon.

THE ARmr The 7th Regiment, (or Fusileers) *ow lying in Portsmouth garrison, was, on Saturday morning, or dered to embark for foreign service ; it is supposed, for America. Lieutenant Jowl CAMPBELL (2d) is appointed Ad jutant of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, vice Lieutenant and Adjutant Vcorr, retired in con sequence of ill health. Sunday se'nnight, Major-General HOWARD as sumed the command of Portsmouth Garrison, as Lieutenant-Governor.

Brigade-Major, MajorWmYss, of the 50th Foot, son of Lieutenant-Colonel W EllYbS ) of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines. On Monday, the 19th of September, a Deputation from the Officers of Hull Garrison presented Major General CHENEY with a superb piece of plate, as a memorial cf their lasting esteem and regard ; at the same time exprefsing their earnest wishes for his future welfare, and testifying their regret at his re moval from the staff of that District. AMERICA. " Patuxent, in the Chesaptake, Sept. '2, 1814. a Since I wrote you on the 3Uth ult. I learn that the stand made by the Yankees was on a very fine military position, called Prospect Hill, near Bladens burgh, leading into Washington. The light brigade,' composed of the 85th and 21st, had the honntir of putting them to flight. They were commanded (from casualties) by Captain 'lean, of the 31 NV.:.st India Iteir,iment, who was in the fleet, for the purpase of enl:sting blacks. He had the temporary command of a party from the Albion, consi,ting of v:hat we call Colonial Marines, being men enlisted from the emigrant slaves of the neighbouring States. We have about 2'2 of them, and very excellent soldiers they make. They had the honour of being in the advance, and are spoken of in the highest terms; in truth, our Black Auxiliaries were the admiration of the European regiments. A depot of a tempo rary nature had been formed for them on the island of Tangier, in the Chesapeake, by Admiral COCK. BURN, where there are now about 300, including women and children. The estates of Virginia and Maryland have suffered materially from these deser tions. Sir T. HARDY joined yesterday, in the RA• MILLIE% and taking the place of the ALBION in the Fleet, will be the means of sending that ship, it is understood, immediately to Bermuda, to which place the BULWARK will be ordered to receive Admiral COCKBURN'S flag. The battalion cf Marines that came out under convoy of the Tom:: ANT, has, in can sequence of Colonel MALCOLNI'S arrival here to com mand them, been divided by Sir Aarx. COCHRANE into two battalions, one of which has very properly been given to Major LEWIS, who is to add the Cola_ nials (Blacks) to them : his Staff are also appointed, viz. Lieutenant ADAMSON. as Paymaster, and Lieu. tenant /AMES Wtuats, Adjutant." Yesterday Cunt NUGENT had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Cu iton.house. Saturday the Duke of KENT paid his respects to the PM:NEE REGENT at Carlton•house. The paragraph stating that Colonel AnnExsnooxr is appoikry Charrilmiain to the Princess Cnanyrr of \VA& ,s a mistake; CUICOIIeI ADDENBROOKE being appointedta Gentleman Usher to the QUEEN, in the room of the late General I.lcssost. Thursday the ZZPIIIT, Captain CRETRE, sailed fur Weymouth, to attendyn the Princess CuARLOTTE...— A spacious boat, v..ith standard, ensigns, &c. sere' taken down, for her Royal Highness's aquatic excur. sions. Her Royal 11:gliness bas derived very c3nsi derable benefit from the saline breezes of Weymouth. itish merchandise of every d-sctiption went off brisi.ly at the faits of Leipsic and Frankfort, and still continue to be in demand. Great remittances, it is supposed, will rot be required from the British Go vernment to the Netherlands, for the maintenance of troops and horses, as it appears, that at the close of the war, we had large magazines of grain, hay. and straw, in Spain and Portugal, which had been already paid for. These depots are destined for the supply of our troops in the Low Counties, and are to be con veyed by transports engaged some time since by Go vernment for that purpose. Among the causes of the declension of the Funds we ought not to overlook the prodigious sums cart ied from this country to France, giving to that country a source of wealth, which ought not to be f 1 - gotten at the Congress. We are informed from the belt au thority in Paris, that there are inscribed on the Police Registers not less than 100,000 English in France, of whom at least a quarter are in Paris. The latter Jo not spend so little as a guinea a day ; and if we set the expenses of the former at only half a guinea, this will make 62,500 guineas a day carried by our coun teymen.—The English spend their money very li berally, in order to give the French an idea of their superiority. Ler bosu bourgeois de Paris pocket the money, and laugh at the folly of their visitors.— What reciprocity is there ? Are there 5000 French in England? Do they spend 10s. a day ? 1)o they buy estates here, as our countrymen du in France ? We are warranted in the assertion that large sums have been taken out of funds fur the purchase of estatet in France by families who are going to reside in thus country. We point nut the evils, but we canna propose a remedy, while the National Debt remains undiminished. ELOPIGMENT.—In the night between Thus slay and Friday se'nnight, under the favouring smiles of Cyn thia, a young Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Staindrop, in the county of Durham, contrived to remove through her chamber window a dashing young female of that vicinity ; who, being quite wil ling, joined her valorous Quixote in such rapid flight, that notwithstanding a close pursuit, the parties have not yet been heard of. Their destination is supposAl to be Gretna Green. Charles Hude Alen, a sorter of letters in the Gene ral Post Office, has been committed by the LOUD MAYOR for trial, charged with embezzling letters, containing property. beveral ban, notes were louud in his possession.
