AMERICAN PAPERS. WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 8. From the battery under Commodore Perry, at In dian Head, we yesterdaylearut that the enemy passed it on the morning of the day before, having received but little injury from our battery, which was too light and weak to dispute his passage with effect. Our loss was only one man wounded, and that was in the re treat from the shore. At Indian Head, as well as at the White House, the enemy expended a great quantity of ammunition in firing random shot and shells on shore, and in the woods, to disperse the militia, Etc. after the cannonade from our little batteries had been silenced. The following account of the manner in which the enemy moved down the river, is forwarded us by a friend who witnessed it from the Maryland shore : 4 6 The British squadron (assembled at Mr. Mar shall's Point and a little below Mount Vernon) be gan to move downwards about two (Mock on Mon (ey at the pitch of high tide, and a most favourable fresh wend at N. E. The preceding ship was the Commodore, in the Seahorse frigate of 38 guns, with the first division of the prize craft, firing but a few guns towards the Virginia shote, and the high bluff of Belvoir; the fort previously, and at the same time constantly and spiritedly annoying them with their shot. The Euryalus frigate, of $6 guns, went next, and distinguished herself for the most active firing of any of the fleet. Those two vessels, after passing the bluff, hauled up in the wind nearer to the Maryland shore, and continued their firing, particularly the Euryalus, which then became heath:lost, until all the , , fleet had passed close in below the Fort, the channel there being deep and close in under. the cliff. 66 The third was the Etna Bomb, the Rocket-ship, and after them the Manly armed brig of 14 guns, which had passed up the river and joined the lower squadron in the evening of the .Ist inst. after receiving some shot (four in number, one of which passed through her) from the Bluff battery, after those went in succession the remaining prizes, the Meteor Bomb, and lastly the Devastation ; none of the Bombs ap pearing to fire as they passed the battery on the heights : the result was not known. 46 A fire-ship with a party under Commodore Rodgers, could not overtake the rear of the fleet in titre for full effect, they being peculiarly favoured by a most favourable wind to carry them through the lower reach of the channel. It was on fire an" went seemingly in good direction for the Euryalus frigate, but grounded on the Point. " From six o'clock till dark a firing of heavy can non from below was heard, and supposed to be from Indian Head, ten or twelve miles below the Belvoir Bluff. Some shot hit the Seahorse, and her mtzen top-sail was seen to fall on the deck as she passed the Point." WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 9. it is stated in some of the Papers, we observe, that the Congressional Library was saved. We are sorry to c • ntradtct t:lis statement. The Vandals destroyed without renicr.-.e this collvion cf valuable and scarce books, the loss of which is ii reparable. If his incen diary hand were not to be arrested by the monument of art exhibited in the south wing of the Capitol, it could not be expected the enemy would respect whit none but heathens or barbarians ever before wantonly destroyed—a public repository of history, science, and law. We are sorry to learn also that Elias B. Caldwell, Esq. lost the whole cf his valuable law 'library, which was in the same building. The papers and books of the Senate were all saved,. and all the material . papers of the House of Ittpresentatives. • BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 'l6. IMPEACHMENT or MR. MADISON.—WIIat will the .action who have so long misruled our unfortunate country cio next? Let ut see how they stand, and guess what they will do, since they find that all the fai , -minded and honest are, forsaking them. The war was commenced for these reasons.—First, To gratify ancient hatred against Great Britain, and to assist the French in subduing the English. Se condly, To give that tone and strength to the Madi sonian.r,vernment, which might naturally be expect. cd to arise out of a state of war. Thirdly, To silence those men who had opposed the Jeffersonian and Ma. disonian course of policy, and to command their wealth for the purpose of keeping them still. Fourth. ly, to take the chances of the events which might arise out of this new state of things, and from the noise, excitement and acclamation of successful war, probably to establish, by the help of arms, a govern ment not unlike that of Bonaparte. Fifthly, To sa tisfy the people as to all the expenses and sacrifices which might arise, by conquering the Caoadas, and snaking a great outcry as to our gains and glory. Now it unfortunately turas out, that this war, Sellich was pretended to be waged to protect seamen and commerce has nearly annihilated both. Canada IA not taken and never will be. The English nation has not become bankrupt and has not fallen before, our ally in fact, Bonaparte. But he and his power are fallen for ever ; and the English are the most powerful and effective nation, for their numbers, on the earth. Instead of having General Hull quietly domesticated iq Little York—General Dearborn in Montreal, and General Wilkinson in Quebec —we lave nobod y within Canada, after two years fighting and an hundred millions of expense, except the de tachment of the army that . are bravely defending themselves at Erie. Ent on the sea board, and in the rivers of the Uni ted States which conduct to the capitals of the seve ral States, the - enemy are in groat and threatening force. Public credit is at an end. No confidence is placed in the national administration, even by their warmest partizans. A portion of our territory is taken away, and quietly possessed by the enemy. In short, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison have, in ten years, completely ruined the resources, and the go vernment, and the character, and blasted the pro spects of this once happy and flourishing nation. It is plain that Mr. Madison ap &Obis political adhe rents know this, and know that the country never can recover from these calamities, while he and his friends remain in power. Will they, then, voluntarily give up the power ? Will Mt. Madison and the " super-ecnintnt" Mr. q.a . ry resign ? No.—What, then, must be done Mr. Madisoft is old; he is without ability for the times which he has produced ; he has little or no in fluence ; he is not wanted; and is not feared. There must be a scape goat for the party. They have tried one Secretary and another, until it is plain they must make a bolder push. "l bey tmpeacls Mr. Madison. They understand how to put a man up—or put a man down, as suits their purpose . . Notwithstanding the artful message which Mr. Madison will send to Congress next Monday, unless we arc greatly de ceived in human principles of action, Mr. Madison will be impeached by his own party. BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 17. TREASON.—The day before the great battle, Gene ral Armstrong drew from the Treasury, for his de partment, a million of dollars. It is said he has gone on tl join our army in Canada, and in case of a con vulsion, will seize upon the reigns of Government. — The movements of this fiend must be narrowly watched ; he is known to be an enemy to our present form of 'government, which he thinks deficient in energy. He will bring about a revolution certainly, if he can succeed At any rate, let him be narrowly watched, as lie is only in his element when he is plot ting mischief. NEW ORLEANS, AUGUST 19. Some time since a number of reports were circa• lating here of the intended invasion of this country : at one time by the British, and another by the :ipa niards, and again jointly by both. Latterly we have nothing further on this subject, and I presume we are as secure as you are in New-York. The government of the United States are making arrangements (it nifty be only for appearances) for the supply of a large mi litary force in this quarter. It is said there will be six thousand troops in addition to those already here, (about 350 f)) for which rations have been ordered to be prepared by the contractors for the army. The smuggling business at Barrataria, or Grand Isle, situated 60 or 70 miles from this place, continues to be carried on to as great extent as was ever done, in any other part of the world. One of the principal leaders of this banditti has been secured, and will be tried fur piracy; but still that trade goes on. Within the two last weeks tour new prizes have been brought into Grand Isle, one said to be a Russian, from Eng land, bound to Pensacola—another a Dutch galliot : and strange to tell, of the number of vessels taken by these pirates, not one of their crews have ever been seen or heard of, doubtless all murdered—and still stranger to remark, that the general rendezvous of those robbers should remain within 60 or 70 miles of this place, having 3500 regular troops, and all the militia of the country, and not a siagle effort made to' dislodge them. FRENCiI PAPERS. PARIS, OCTOBILIL The King and the Duchess of Angouleme attend ed this day at the baptismal font in the Royal Chapel of the Thuilleries, the christening of the Duke de Nemaus, second son of his Serene Highness the Doke of Orleans. The Archbishop of Rheims, Greed Almoner of France, assisted at the ceremony, whish was also attended by the Duchess Dowager of Or leans, the Duke, and the principal Oaken of his Court. The Count de Blau:, Minister of the Royal Household, also officiated on the occasion. The Duke de Nemaus was baptised, as his Chris, tian name, Louis Charles Philippe Raphael. The King of Bavaria is expected at Munich, on. his return from Vienna. The Chevalier de Couchery, a member of the i.e . gislative Corps, &c. died on Thursday last. ' The King of Prussia, it is said, has proposed, if the dismemberment of Saxony is acquiesced in, to nominate his cousin, Prince Augustus Ferdinand of Prussia, to reign over that part which may be allotted to him. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIE3. On the proposition of M. DuPour, the terms of a Sacramental Oath cf fidelity to . the King and obe dience to the Constitution, preparatory to a law on the subject, were referred to the consideration of a Colutniitee. Some discussions took place relative to the existing laws respecting the property of emigrants, and the prncee.ds and arrangemlnts respectin7 the public canals : but tio definitive decision obtained upon those subjects. After a short discussion on the subject, M. le Comte FERNAND proposed, in the name of his MJjesty, the project of a law, importing, That the time granted to the Colonists of St. Domingo shall he prolonged to the end of the Scssion of the Iwo Ciseetlfet 1815 ; and that the — Minister of Marine and die Co lonies shall, in die interval, obtain the necessary infor mation •respc.cting the nitwit of the claim, and the debts to which those persons are liable." This was referred to the Conimietees for conside ration. "The subject of the Properties of Emigrants being revived ; M. PRUNIELLE closed some remarks upon the sub-' ject, by calling upon the Chamber to enter fully and freely into an examination of means to reconcile the , interests of the Emigrants with those who had tic- quired their properties. These words excited some murmur in the assembly, but after some further debate the consideration of the subject was again deferred till the next day. VIENNA, OCrOBER :6. The Ministers of the four Allied Powers have given in an answer to the note which had been communi. cated to them on the 4th, by the French Legation. It is said that the lst of next month is the day fixed for the taking possession of different parts of Germany which have been allotted to certain Posters. Count Walmoden, and M. de Sambrui, First Cham. berlain to the King of Sardinia, have arrived in this city. The Allied Sovereigns propose shortly to visit Presburgh, where great preparations are making for their reception. Our Court Gazette says nothing, even to this day, either of the Congress or of the leres, though the lat. 'ter take place daily, and are most magnificent. One is preparing for the 15th, to celebrate the battle of Leipsic. The Ministers who form the preparatory committee ferthe affairs of Germany, are as tollow :—the Baron De Wessenberg for Austria ; Baron De Humboldt, for Pi ussia ; Field Marshal Wilde, (or Bavaria ; and Baron De Lientets, for the King of Wirtemberg.— •The Ministers of France, Russia, England or Spain, are not admitted to these conferences; but it is wen `known they must have some influence on the delibe rations. The Baron 1)e Stein is charged with the eon issideration of a plan fur the future organisation of Germany. BOURDEAUX, OCTOBER se. BONAPAIRTITWO pOillilliollll. attached to the suite of the ci-drveutt Emperor, and who accompanied him Ito Elba, have lately returned to this city. One of them resides here with his relatives, and gives• the tallow. -ing account e,f this extraordinary personage, which may be regarded as authentic : The troops stationed at Porto-Ferrajo, amounted to about 1000 men. The soldiers have not touched a franc of their pay for the last campaign, but they are promised to be paid punctually in future. This, however, does not lessen their attempts at desertion. which they eagerly seize every opportunity to effect. as they find their residence in the island insupporta ble. Bonaparte, feeling aware of this, causes even the smallest vessels which approach the isle to be closely watched ; hut, spite of all his vigilance, defec tions take place every day. 44 Ona Lady (only), the wife of General Bertrand, is at present at the mock Emperor's Court, which in the whole consists of 4.0 persons. However the Ladies of Porto Ferrajo, according to the phrase of the pos tillions,' the great ones of the country frequently ► isit their territorial Sovereign.' Two castles are now building near the port, and the great roads near tue town are improving to an extent of four leagues." MoNT CENIS.—The English Journalists hAre pub lished, and several French papers have repeated, an article which cannot be but extremely iiijurtous to the interests of the department of Mont Blanc, inas much a.; it may deter travellers from going to Italy. They state that the route of Mont Cents continues be infested by banditti, and which reports at Geneva carry up to 2000 men. These reports, however, are totally void of foundation. The Fort of Mont Cenis, as well as the whole neighbourhood, is remark.ibly safe, and is constantly travelled through by night and by day, and it never has come to the knowle , :e of the Police administration that the travellers, either in going to or returning from Italy, have met wall the least molestation.

" The Swedish Commissioners to the Norwegian Diet, viz. their Excellencies Baron Roseralad, Ba ron Wettcrstedt, Bishop Rosenstein, and the Secre taries of State Count Morner and Mr. De Wirsen, left this on the 4th instant, and arrived next day at Christiania. 6 , The Deputies from all the districts having met at Christiania, the assembly was occupied the whole of yesterday in the verificat►on of their powers. The Director of Police, Dirichs, has been elected Vice- Peesident, and the Soren-Scriver Christie, Secretary. 04 The question was agitated, whether it was ne cessary to receive powers containing special instruc tions, and it was almost unanimously decided in the negative. This is important, inasmuch as it is said that the Deputies from Trondheim and Bergen were provided with instructions hostile to the union. According to all the information received, the 1 tone of the Deputies is marked by moderation. 4 4 Prince Christian yesterday transmitted to Mr. Rosencrantz his act of abdication. The Council of State will to-morrow communicate it to the Diet.— The Prince has, nevertheless, expressed a wish that a deputation should at the same time wait upon him, meaning to place in their hands a duplicate of this act, after which he will depart without delay." 4 ' Head-quarters at Frederickshall, October 14. " Prince Christian intended to deliver on the 10th, his speech to the Diet ; but that assembly, in order to conform exactly to the Convention of Moss, having declared itself constituted on the Bth, Mr. Rosen. crantz, after having communicated that the health of the Prince did not permit him to appear in person, read the speech, which is an exposition of the cunduct of Prince Christian since the peace of Kid. 4 6 0 n the 10th a deputation of 25 Members, having at its head the Counsellor Treschow, repaired, at the request of the Prince, to Ladegaardso, to receive from his hands his act of abdication. This formality being gone through, the Prince departed the same nigh:, and went on hoard a Norwegian brig of war. , 6 The Diet is already divided into Lag and Odals7 ing. The Sorenscriver Christie has been elected President for the occasion, when the two sections shall unite ; and the Soreaseriver Weidemann is appointed Secre tary. A Committee is about to be nominated, to exa amine the state of the kingdom, and to receive the " communications which the Swedish Commissioners have to make in the name of their King. The num , her f Deputies amounts at present to 78. Those from Nordland and Finmark have not yet arrived. 64 Admiral Baron Platen has just been appointed sixth Commissioner of the King to the Diet." Headquarters at Fredericksball, October IS. 46 The Swedish Commissioners having been invited in the name of the Diet of Christiania to communi cate their propositions, they appeared in that assembly on the 13th. Baron Rosenblatt there delivered a dis course, in which he announced the object of their mission. Mr. Christie, President, replied, that the Diet would deliberate on these communications with all the promptitude which their importance would admit ot. The Commissioners then presented their powerg, and the pl in of constitution. When they had quitted the Assembly, this plan was there read. —lt is known that the liberal principles there laid down, and the discourse of the Commissioners, have produced a favourable impression on the minds of Members. 46 Mr. Christie has been elected President of the Odals Ting ; and Count Wedel-Jarlsberg, of the Lag Ting. ~ The Diet has elected two new Counsellors of State, Color el liegerman, and Mr. Fasting, .com mander of the brigs of war."
