The Gazetai of last night contains the details of the failure of the gallant attack upon Fort Erie, on the 15th of August. This heart-rending picture has been placed before the Public in a variety of lights, both American and English, previous to the present official illustration ; and, were it not to correct from that solemn authority, a mistake, or misstatement, which has gone forth to the prejudice of the Ameri cans who defended the fort, we should pass over in silence the melancholy subject. The explosion, by which so many brave men lost their lives, was purely accidental, and not a wanton act of barbarity on the part of the Americans. Contemptible as they are as enemies, this acknowledgement is their due. Our Readers will see that the loss which the British sus tained is long ere now repaired by reinforcements, and that there is a fair prospect of the speedy de struction of the whole naval and military preparations of the Americans for the sulojug-nion of Canada. The refitting and fitting out American armed yes tels is the ports of France, excites, and justly, much indignation here. That the permission amounts to hesiditl• can hardly be doubted ; but should there be even a doubt upon it, there can be Bone as to the line of conduct which England has a right to expect from France. The war with America had its origin in that system of plunder and injustice v.hich we have been instrumental in averting from France. France, in return, ought to exert aU her powers, moral and physical, in destroying its ramifications—not in coun tenancing their continuances Frankfort Papers arrived this Morning, froth which we select the following articles : FULDA, SEPTEMBER so. It trill be *Collected that some public prints lately contained 'violent invectives against the Princes of the Items bf Nassau, for sending some of their troops to Holland. The Gaelic of Nassau now contains a long explaining this transaction. It begins lrfdi stating that the gd Regiment of Nassau, under Igajor-roeneral Kiuse, having received orders to come war to Lord Wellington, which was effected with snide lees; and the generous sacrifice of many private advantages, it was conveyed by way of England to ivhere it arrived in February, in small de. titChmeutsi after having suffered much fatigue and kest,ona-41etatbment. • The pressure of circumstance& not allowing much, reptile, it was intended to join' an army under the Hereditary Prince of Orange Nassau, and it was completed to two battalions. It had not many op portiaities of adding - to its military glory, but its tiotnent discipline gave it a distinguished place.-- Atilt, armistice, and at the peace, it was judged secessary to reinforce the national army of the Ne-. therlands with part of the Allied troops ; and then his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange Nassau mimed to the Duke and Prince of Nassau to add a battalion to this regiment, and to incorporate it for some years with the army of the Netherlands. This proposal could not but be agreeable to their Highnesses, on aceount of the common interests of the two States, and the family and hereditary con nections which had just been confirmed between these reigning families by the strictest union. A military and political Contention was consequently concluded at the Hague on the 18th July last, which has been since ratified, and contains the following Regulations concerning the service of this regiment : , g Ist. This Regiment, consisting of three ',em boss, shall remain for five years, after the expiration of the present year s united with an auxiliary corps, with the array of the Netherlands, under the Prince of Orange, but shall not be considered as incorporated with or forming an integral part of that army ; it re tains its uniform, its standards, am. sod its particular formation and internal jurisdiction. His Serene High ness the Duke of Nassau has the exclusive nomina tion of the officers, &c. who preserve the rank and seniority in the military establishment of the Duchy, without regarding the changes in the army of the Netherlands. It keeps its depot in the Duchy of Nassau—eannet in any *ay be employed against its Sovereigns or its country ; shall not be obliged to serve out of Europe, or aboard of any vessel ; nor shall it be quartered in Zealand. 416 2d. His Royal pi g hnets the Prince of Orange Nassau shall repay to the Ducal Treasury, the ex peaces of the equipment of the regiment and the main taining the depot. The pay shall be the same, without any deduction, as that of the national troops-of the Netherlands; and some addition shall be made ac cording to the pay in the Duchy of Nassau, for the prolongation of time of their service, for the married men, and then the pensioners belonging to the orders they may receive." The following paragraphs contain stipulations, placing the regiment on tie swot footing ii the na tional army. 1 Nis explanation, which shews the ad vantages that the country in general will derive Hu, this convention, and the privileges insured to the, Officers cers and men, will satisfy t h e public till the Sates of the Duchy can attend to this subject. It could not be published before the etchange of the Ratifications. If this silence has been abused by ill-disposed persons to spread calumnious reports, the Government, faith ful to its principles, regards them with contempt. It must be added, that there is no question of subsidies as is usual in such treaties. The Princes of the House of Nassau have been the first to give their subjects a Free Constitution. It is alrnqf.t a transcript of the English Constitution, a c:t two Houses, the duration of it seven years, &c. Indeed some German Journals observe, that this exact similarity is perhaps all that can be said against it, since it on this account wants that nationa lity which should seem requisite in every Constitution. On the 15th (Bonaparte's birth-day) and 16th Au gust, there were great fetes in the Island of Elba, games, balls, feasts, &c. Bonaparte treated bis troops with wine, and had the pleasure to hear them cry— Vive l'Empereur." Some streets are now named after streets in Paris. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday last.— They present but little inte;ligence of the slightest interest. Some printers and publishers have bean ar. rested for issuing seditious pamphlets. Nothing has yet reached Paris respecting the proceedings of the Congress at Vienna: PARIS, OCTOBER P. We are assured that the Archduchess Maria Louisa would reach Vienna on the 7th, and that she will not visit Parma till next spring. It is n•it true that she has paid any visits to the brothers of Napoleon. Letters from Hamburgh assure us that the Prince Royal of Sweden has given up all thoughts of being present at the Congress at Vienna. We learn from Bourdeaus that fifteen merchant. men have sailed for Martinique and Guadeloupe, laden with flour, provisions, and French manufac tures. Large shipments are making at Nantz for the same destination. M. Charles has been arrested this day for printing seditious pamphlets. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, OCTOBER 2. The order of the day for discussing the amend• meats of the Peers on the law relative to the Press was read. M. Str.varrzft DE SACY proposed to pass these amendments without a debate. This was opposed by M. DDREACH. He thought that the entire law should be again brought under discussion. He re marked that every time the subject was discussed the speakers seemed to depart farther and farther from the spirit of the constitution, and concluded by pro posing that the amendments should be rejected. M. LABORD was opinion, that the Chamber had no right to re•examine the whole law, .or even to discuss the amendments. After a little farther debate, the Chamber decided that the discussion should close. Before proceeding to the vote, Messrs. GODAILH and SILVESTEIt DE SACY, who ate both shortsighted, sct off at the s tme mo ment from hpposite sides of :he hall,• and ascending the tribune at the same instant, they seemed surprsed at their unexpected rencontre—rauch laughter in the House. After a long interchange of compliments, M. SILVIISTER DE SACY gave way. Upon a division, it appeared that the Chamber was of opinion that it was not necessary to vote upon the whole law at once.—This decision is important, be cause it settles the right of the Chamber to vote upon any law from the Peers, in whole or in part, as it pleases. Finally, the amendments were adopted by a great majority. Mr. CIIANTEItAiNEI from the Committee on Peti tions, stated to the Chamber the complaint • of some booksellers, arrested for having sold a libel extracted from the ilfoniieur. They stated, that they had been cast into an infected jail, and denied all intercourse with their friends. They prayed to be set at liberty, and for punishment of those who had arbitrarily de. rained them. It was shewn, however, before the Com mittee, that the forms of the law, in the arrest of these men, had been complied with ; that the prison was healthy, and that thcir friends had not been denied access. It was therefore decided ttott the law must take its course. A long discussion took place en the exportation of grain, which was adjourned. . The PRtNCE REGENT had a select party to dinner yesterday at Carlton-House. Her Royal Iligimess the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES is much improved in her health, since her visit to Weymouth. Intelligcnce has beeß received from Tuscany to the 25th ult. At that time Couriers were frequently passing from the Isle of Elba to Vienna, who were the bearers, as it was alleged, of dispatches from BO NAPARTE to that Court, in which he demanded the comfort of the society of his wife, and the superin tendance of the education of his son. Advices through France from Naples to the 19th ult. state, that the army of JoActing was 16,000 strong. He is said to have amassed a treasure, by the dexterous management of his revenue, to the amount of about £4,000,000, which is deposited in the coffers of his Palace. He has long been solicitous to promote an intimate commercial intercourse with the British nation, and to accelerate this purpose, the utmost attention was paid to all British subjects who visited his capital utth wercantikt v,ewss • kiikAL f PLYMOUTH.

The King George packet, and three passage vessels, from Calais, were forced into the Downs this morning by the strong S.W. winds—they have landed their pas sengers, and proceeded for Dover. HARWICH, OCTOBER 11. No arrivals, and the only ship that sailed is the 'we Gebroeders, in ballast, for Rotterdam. RAMSGATE, OCTOBER 11. The Spanish ship Isabella got safe into this har bour at midnight, with much damage : she is now kept free with one pump constantly going. Arrived this morning the Ben, LEvisootar, from London for Hamburg!), leaky ; also came in the brigs Sally, BEDFORD; and Perseverance, MILLER, from SLelton. BONDED GOODS. Yesterday a numerous and most respectable Meet ing of the Merchants and others interested in the Bonding of Goods in the Port of London, was held in the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the very alarming situation in which they were likely to be placed by the recent determination of the Lords of the Treasury to enforce the payment of the duties upon all goods which may have remained in the ware houses under bond, beyond the period allowed by the several Warehousing Acts. Sir CHARLEc PRICE, Baronet, was unanimously called to the Chair. Ile said he felt it necessary to apologize to the Meeting for having accepted the Chair on an occasion when he SAW around him so many eminent merchants, interested in the investiga tion of the subject for which they were met, and pos sessed of 11111C:1 greater abilities than himself. The manner in which he came to be called to the Chair was this s—On coming to town last Thursday, a letter was put into his hands intimating the intention of the. Treasury to enforce, on the 30th instant, the payment of the duties on all goods remaining in the warehouses under bond, after the period allowed by the Ware. housing Act. In this letter was inch.sed another from Mr. ARBUTHNOT to a most respectable merchant; scat hag, " that the Lords of the Treasury did not con ceive themselves warranted to give any further ex tension to the time mentioned in the Warehousing Act." This intimation appeared to him of such im portance, that as Chairman of the Merchants trading' to the Continent, he thought it his dint immediately to call upqn the Secretary of that body, for the pur pose of convening a Meeting to take this most impor tant notification into their consideration. To his very great satisfaction, he found that a Meeting had taken place, which had been attended by those most respect able names that appeared to the advertisement for etovening this General Meeting. It was in compli ment to then Society of Merchants, of which he had spoken, that he bad been this day called to the Chair. He did not think it necessary for him to make many observations, as he conceived that every Gentleman present must-feel how ruinous it would be to the trade .41 London, and what a cruel hardship it would.be to 'many individuals, to have those chides strictly levied on so early a day as the 30th. 'Fite Committee had come to certain resolutions which would be submitted to them, but he should be happy to hear any Gentleman who wished still fur. ther to elucidate the subject. He hoped, however, that in whatever observations might be made, the subject would be considered coolly, and that no ex tram dinary warmth might be introduced into the dis cussion. They had only one object—the benefit of the trade ' • and although they might differ from the Lords of the Treasury on this point, yet so far from making any severe observations upon his Majest)'s government, he believed that it was the wish of every one present to support it. It was, thank GOD, the best government now existing in the world. The Resolutions agreed to by the Committee were then proposed, and unanimously adopted. A Committee was then appointed to wait upon the Lords of the Treasury, and point out to them the rui nous consequences, both to trade, and to the indivi dual merchants, from acting upon thenotification that haat been given. The thanks of the Meeting were then given to Sir C. Price for his conduct in the Chair. The ship destroyed at Hamden is a strong sloop of war, of 26 guns, named the Adams, and not the John Adams, which is of the rank of a frigate, and which left the Texel with Mr. DALLAS, American Secretary of Legation, on the evening of the 28th of August. The Hon. AUGUSTUS Fosutft has returned from his embassy to Copenhagen, for a few weeks, and set out to join his mother, the Duchess of DEvortsmaE, in Ireland.

It is reported in the military circles, th it a pretty general reduction of second battalions is in contem plation. The principal charges against Sir Jams MURRAY, for his conduct at Tarragona, are to be adduced by Rear-Admiral HALLOWSLL, upon wheie arriv .1 from the Mediterranean the Court will be immediately convoked. As these charges regard the precipitate embarkation of the troops, aid the consequent aban dohthent of the cann'n, when the Admiral considered himself to be in possession of suffic'ent time and meaas for receiving the whole on board, his evidences will be principally naval men. The 2J Battalion of the 63d Regiment was inspect.; ed at Ipswich, on Wednesday last, by M..j ir.General See°, previous to its being disembndied on the 2.40 1 inst. After the inspection of the corps the Officers had a fat ewell dinner ; and, the cloth being removed; Major Chapman, and all the Officers, presented an elegant silver cup to the Commanding Officer, Major La GETTE, with a short but appropriate speech, ex pressive of the gratification the carps felt in giving him a durable memorial of the sense they entertained of his virtues as a Commander, a soldier, and a man. The reply was appropriate.—He had received an 64111 J. ple reward for his solicitude, .in the flattei ing testi mony they had now given him, that he .possessed the confidence and approbation of his brother officers. The cup was then handed round, and all drank suc cess and happiness to their Commanding Officer.--: Loyal and appropriate toasts followed, and the even• ing was spent with much gratulation at the recellec tion of the harmony that had ever existed among the Officers of the corps. From Cork, under date of the 6sh instant, we learn, that an expedition ig immediately to sail from that harbour. Its destination is not known. The :Nth and 40th Regiments, with two others, have received orders to embark forthwith, and are to sail the first oppor tunity, under the convoy of the Sultan, now at Cove. The transports which are to convey these troops have been provisioned for twelve months. On the sth, six companies of the 28th regiment, under the command of Colonel BELSON, marched into Cork, three compa nies of which marched next morning to Monkstown. The Ist division of the 40th Foot, under the com mand of Colonel THORNTON, marched into the garri son an the sth from Mallow, and on the 6th proceed ed to Monkstown for embarkation ; .and the same day the remainder of the 40th, under the command of Colonel Gikues, marched in and were to embark on the 7th. The Duke of Yoax is expected to leave town this day, on a visit to the Duke of RUTLAND, to meet a shooting party. Carlisle Racer have been numerously attended this season. The dancing and card-parties at the Crown and Mitre and Bush Inns were supported wilt much spirit ; and several well-contested boxing and wrest ling matches took place on the Course. The Duke of RUTLAND WAS the most successful member of the Jockey Club, at the late Newm aket Meeting; it is conjectured that his Grace wr,n, on his two principal matches, not less than 12,000 guiaeas. TEMPLE OF CONC'MIf), IN the GithEN 1714 structure, after having been ineffectually offered for sale by private contract, with all i:s remaining magni ficence, fell yesterday, under the hammer of the aim tioneer.—The spectators were very few, the bidders much fewer. The sale began at noon, and c ntinetd several hours. The costly Temple was divided into 100 loth which, with two lots of timber belonging to the fencing, fetched the sum of £l9B. 6s. Gd. Some skeleton wood-work was not put up, and the emble matical transparencies had been taken away, proba. bly to embellish some other scene of public festivity. We have not room to notice many of the items of the catalogue. " Europe Reeved" was sold for Bs. and " Strife De:tending" went at precisely the same value. " The 7 risunph of Britannia" was knocked down for 50s. The names of " Frederick and Blucher" brought two guineas. " The Golden ifgc Restored," £3. 10.— The "Sceptre of the Bourbon: Restored," three guineas. " Austria and Holland" went together for £2. " The Regent and Wellington" were contended for rather stoutly, and cost the winner £3. Fur " ll'ar DUO. hieing the Earth," one person went to the expence of ihree guineas.

Yesterday morning the family of the Hon. Mr. Ilenanur, at Mitcham, were alarmed by tie report of a spring-gun, which hall been placed in the gar den (and of which the regular notice had been given); the servants, on repairing to the spot, found a man lying a few yards distant, lifeless ; and, on examin ing the unfortunate victim, he was discovered to be an old offender, who, only a few days before, bad been detected, by a similar report, in another Gen tleman's garden, and then only a few shot being lodged in his legs, he was, under the idea of this cir cumstance being a sufficient caution, set at liberty.
