Private letters received this morning from Ghent, st I'.e, en the authority of accounts from America, via P that Mr. MADISON intend.A giving in his resig nation at the meeting of Congress, which took place co the 19th tilt. and that the result would be the for mation of a New Administration, which, in all pro would lead to Peace: at least such was the prevalent opinion at Ghent,wnere they were anxiously waiting the arrival of fresh instructions from Amen .d. Paris Papers to the sth instant have arrived since Testeriay. The Editor of the Juirnal du Debair tin most amply wade amends for his ill-natured and illi beral attack upon England for the affair of Washing ton. by an eloquent eulogium on the happiness re sulting to France from our glorious perseverance in the struggle which banished despotism fripm Europe. It is only by diffusing such manly and enlightened sentiments widely throughout France, that the Wes sings of the Press can be appreciated, and that spirit infused into the giddy population of the country, which will make them peaceable neighbours to Fo reign States, and quiet and Industrious subjects of a Virtuous and beneiiilent Sovereign. Nn act of the sagacious and mild administration of . the Koso since his restoration ought to rivet the affec tiAts of all good men upon him so strongly as the fidelity with which he has performed, to the very letter, the injunctions to Christian forgiveness which were laid upon his successor by the dying breath of Louis XVI. It is with delight, therefore, that all good men must perceive that the amnesty granted to the murderers of the Botany Nines, has made a just impression on those who direct the press in France. It ought to be remembered also, that these wretches have not escaped without punishment of the -severest kind : they are doomed to wander on the earth like Cain who did the first murder, pointed at by the finger of scorn and indignation wherever thei, names and their crimes are known I Most elegantly does thin writer say, that by the re storation of the Ilounsoss these men have lost nothing I'd their honour! Their lives, their titles, their estates and their reputatiop, such as it is, have been untouche the magnanimity of tie KING; and in permitting them- to pollute the soil of their native count' y by their presence, be humanely gives them an asylum "kid, nn other Sovereign of Europe is either willing or able to bestow. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning. Whatever may be the result of the deliberations at Viennb, the most active preparations sre making in Belgium to ward off any attack on that great barrier of the Northern part of Europe. The Briti:ls troops are taking the post of honour in advance, while the foreign regiments are sent to garrison Antwerp, and other places in the rear. On the other hand, the French are increasing the numbers and strength► of their garrisons on the Rhine. These may appear to ams of cur Readers to be measures merely of a pre cautionary nature, but it is evident that in Belgium ecy are regarded as the preliminaries to a new rup• tire. The private accounts state, that if there is any point upon which Austria and France can reconcile their enmities, it will be upon that of expelling the English and their Allies, the Dutch, from Belgium. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 1. covered. Whilst the important negociations at Vienna are c-mmencing which are so fix the fate of Europe and give it a durable peace, the military mraswres taken in our country are ecintinned with ardour. On the French frontiers, the garrisons from Poltiim to Dun. iirk are considerably strengthened, and more troops arc expected from the interior• On marinade, nothing is neglected to form a strong line en the Belgian frontiers. Almost all the foreign troops in this pro., wince take positions on the frontier. It is still af. Limed, that a camp will be formed near Courtray. The English garrison of Antwerp has orders to go to that side, and their place will be supplied by Dutch troops. There Are stationed between Namur and Nieu port, exclusive of the garrisons of the cities of the in terior, about 60,000 men. Between the Maese and the Moselle the Prussians have the same position. Besides the Lancers, a fourth regimekt of Belgian cavalry is to be formed, viz. one of Carabineerse The Officers are already appointed. The correspondence between London, Ghent, Brus sels, and Germany, has been for some days past more active than ever, State Messengers and-couriers cross each other daily. It is certain that most im portant interests are on the point of being decided, and it is helieved here that the country with wok!) .me .•re to be united, will obtain besides a farther ac cessi of territory. The l'rince Sovereign gave audience this morning to the constituted Authorities previous to his depar ture for Holland, which is expected to take place to-morrow.

A meeting of the Merchants interested in the trade of Cotton Manuttures, lately took place at the house of the Bei Consul at Cadiz, to consider of a suitable natmial to be presented to the Spa nish Government* but it was a generally-received opinion, that no further indulgences would be granted. It is asserted to be a fact, that, about two month ago, the Spanish Government re quested a loan from the British Government of about ten millions of dollars, intimating at the same time, that for such accommodation England should have the preference of every other nation in her trade with Spain and tbi Spanish colonies. With this proposal, the British Government did not think it expedient to comply; and to this disappointment on the part of Spain may perhaps be mu:hilted the hostile decree against British manufacture. The Royal Mandate of FarinDrawn, however, assigns .the policy of main taining the monopoly of the Philllpine Company as the motive of the Decree. SECOND EDITION. STAR-OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCK. SUCCESS OF ANOTHER EXPEDITION • AGAINST' THE AMERICANS. BRILLIANT EXPLOIT AND DESTRUC TION OF THLJOHN ADAMS FRIGATE. It is with great pleasure we have to announce the complete success of the Expedition under S:r Jams Slums/Lair* and Admiral Getverrus, the sailing of which from Halifax we lately mentioned. The fol. lowing is Official, though, perhaps, no Bulletin► will be publi.hed a Major ADDISON has arrived from Sir J..tvt SHERIROOKI4 with an account that the detach:to:at of troops from Nova Scotia had taken possession of the American . forts at the entrance of Penobscot, and that the John Adams, American frigate, had beeis destroyed in that river by the force under Ad miral Giurmus, co-operating with the land farces in this service." To the above we may add, from Private Autho. rity, that a considerable extent of Country on the Penobscot has been taken possession of by the Bri tish; and that .50 pieces of cannon and 1400 prisoners were the results of these spirited and vigorous mea sures ! This is the way to treat for boundaries. to Canada—take them by force of Arms. Penobscot is on the South Coast of the Ma la—the Bay, one of the finest en the ArnericAn Coast.—the river navigable for vesOs of lOU tons, up 40 the Falls, 50 miles from the Sea. A Dispatch to the Achtilihttyhas also just strived and proceeded to Mr. Cnorattt, at Fulham. The in telligence of course is the !note. ATTEMPT 41 MURDER. Last night, between seven and eight o'cl Lk, as Mr. BAKEII, of Sloane-street, was pausing throu4h Chapel Fields, Cliehea, near the King's Road, he suddenly stumbled upon a human body, which, upon examination, he found still warm. He immediately conveyed the unfortunate being to the nearest houst, where, on examining his dothes and pockets, it ap peared his name was LARKINS, ofJermyn-street. No money was found on hii person ; his hat and neck cloth were gone, and his skull exhibited four dreadful gashes, as if made by a bludgeon: He wag conveyed to St. George's Hospital in a state of con. plete and we are sorry to add that no tuyes are entertained of his recovery. Diligent search is snaking after the perpetrator. of this h"n id died : from the circumstance of the unfortunate Gentleman's clothes being covered with Just, it is conjectured that he had been dragged a consideral.ic way along the high road, and deposited in the titid where he wa found, the villains thinking him dead. 71IE ARM 1.
