Whence emanate so many calamities ;, po many misfortunes ? Alas! their origin is truly holy I Sentiments of justice, knowledge of reason,• and the love of our country, are our mimes in th- eyes of our cruel enemies who cannot conceive how an American can be a man, nor how a man can be . free ; for their stupid blindness places no right hut • in strength, nor admits of any other Government than : despotism. " HEAVEN, which constantly seconds the triumph Of virtue, has blessed me with victory against all the partizans of tyranny, and the -abettors of the crimes taught by the Spaniards of America. Great bodies Of banditti have attacked the armies of the republic, . but haire been defeated wherever they shewed them wilies, and the storms that covered the whole horizon Of Venezuela are now dissipated. Yon are indebted for this good luck to the divine courage of your sol diers, without other merit for myself than that of ac quiring for our arms the greatest triumph that can decorate them, by partionitig our enemies after having conquered them. I reiterate my former edicts, and in the name of Venezuela do hereby pardon anew, without any reltriction, all the 'enemies of the republic, who, abandoning the banners of the tyrants, may come under the pateknal protection of our beneficent kaiverntne nt.

It is affirmed that Berne, Soleure, and Fribourg, have also resolved not to accept it. The two latter have sent Deputies to Berne to consult with the principal Members of that Canton. This disa greement will be injurious to our country, as it will binder us from having a Representative at the Con gress at Vienna, to which the Allied Powers have in vited the Helvetic Confederation to send Deputies as nobn as the Act of Confederation and the Constitu tions of the Cantons should be accepted. 4.

We have received Trench Papers one day later than those noticed yesterday. They contain a long account of the debates in the Chamber of Deputies. respecting 'he regulations for their own proceedings. which would be dull and uninteresting to an English reader.

The King is still indisposed with an attack of the gout, and is not yet well enough to proceed to cha peL His Majesty is, however, sufficiently recovered to preside at a Council. An article inserted yesterday in the journal de Awl: states, that on Sunday last some subaltern agents of police were very troublesome to some shopkeepers on the subject of shutting their shops. The fact simply was, that an individual who has no manner of connection with the police, and whose bad inten tions are too evident, presented himself as an agent of police to some shopkeepers in the ♦icinity of the office of the Journal de Pith, and took upon him to issue some injunctions with insolence. Several re spectable citizens hastened to acquaint the Commis sary of Police of the district with the circumstance, but in the mean time the pretended agent of police had disappeared. A number of vessels are fitting out at St. Mal% for the Newfoundland Fishery ; and at Nantes the building of Merchantmen is proceeding with great activity. FRANKFORT, JULY 14. The Emperor of Russia arrived here at font o'clbck this morning, and after changhig horses continued on his rcute to Pctersburgh. GENOA, JULY 0. The situation of our country is truly afflicting. Re ports are in circulation every day, more or less omi nous as to our future state. It is now said that Pied mont is to have the portion of Liguria called Riviere du Ponent, including the Port of Savona -- that the Riviere du Levant will be united to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany—and .that the City of Genoa will be de clared tree without territory. If such a dismember• went takes place our city will be soon deserted. We must wait the moment when the protection of France, Our natural friend, and to whom ancient treaties unit td tts under her Kings, will restore to us our territory, our commerce, and our independence. Some, have expressed doubts whether the Mt& of American privateers in French potts be not consonant with the law of neutral rights. The best Answer to the suggestion may be drawn from the conduct of America herself when she was a neutral. Big would not then allow her ports to be Made lurking-places from whence the belligerent cruisers might sally nut, and return with their prey► She would not allrbw a foreign privateer to increase its strength in bar territory ; or, if that was done, and a prize taken and brought in by such priva teer, she interposed judicially to zescue the prise and restore it to the lawful owner. Such was the le gal and honourable conduct of America, before he r principles were corrupted, and her policy ix-ported, by the philorofilties by whose domination she is now cursed. Such ought to be, and no doubt will be, the voluntary conduct of the French Government when the facts, which have been already stated, respecting these outfits shall come before it. The Colin of France has no real interest, and can have no de. sire, to permit a violation of the Law of Nations, to the prejudice too of a people from which it has experienced so much generosity :—Every part of the conduct of Louts, since his return to the throne of his ancestors, forbids the idea of his acceding to such an impolitic and unjust act. Ministers have signified their, intention of closing the presesit Session of Parliament, on Wednesday, the 8d of August. The intelligence from Gibraltar announces an im• portant fact, as affecting the situation of affairs in Canada. No fewer than 76 transports, with stores and troops, had sailed from thence for Quebec. This' force is computed at 5000 men, independent of a con siderable quantity of artillery. General DE Wit.cor, who first hoisted the white cos kade and the cross of St. Louis in America, had been in the service of the British Government, after his return from Cayenne, whither he was transported with General PICIIEGRU by order of the Directory. He was to have accompanied General MoneAtt to ' Europe, but was prevented from so doing by MAU sON, at the instance of BONAPARTE.

HASTITI6I, JULY 22.—During the present week several detachments of the 18th Dragoons, lately dis embarked at Dover from the Peninsula, have passed through here in their route to their destination, Lewes Garrison; the men, considering the fatigues of a long and an arduous campaign, look ettrernely well, but the horses are emaciated and very much out of condi tion. A report is in circulation that three troopi hf the 10th Hussars; belonging to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGRNT'S Regiment, will shortly occupy (as head-quarters) our Barracks, which are beauti fully situated on an elevated spot, about a quarter of a mile from Hastings. The disembarkation of cavalry from France, at Dover, continues without intermission ; upwards of `2500 have been landed since our last report, con sisting of the 3d and sth Dragoon Guards, and Ist Royals, and 4th (Queen's Own) Dragoons; making a total of upwards of 6500 horses and men : and we are happy to state that this has been accomplished without the :lightest accident. Thursday the sth Dragoon Guards marched into r lpswich, on their route to Woodbridge liartAcks.— This regiment formed part of the army under the Duke of Wumprost, and landed about ten days ago from France. The garrison of Bristol at present is much reduced in strength, and consists only of the Worcester and North Mayo regiments of Militia—the former has re ceived its European detachment from Bourdeaux. The South Gloucester militia marched from that gar rison on the 11th ani 12th inst. for Gloucester, to be disembodied. Last week the officers and mels of the Royal Bucks and Northamptonshire regitmnts of militia, who vo lunteered for service in Europe, under Lord CASTLE ! Kamm's bill, marched through Oxford for Bucking. ham and Northampton, to be disembodied; they had just arrived !Tom Bourciva us, where (with detachments from the Wilts, both the Surreys, and the Worcester. pegiments), they were formed as the Ist provisional battalion of militia, under the command of Denten-, ant Colonel Commandant the Marquis of Bucx.r.-o -; they appeared in excellent health and spirits, and had much the appearance of service-men ; and they spoke in the highest terms of the hospitality and kindness they it received from all el.tsses of people in liteince. The eiew of the Reindeer, lately captured by the Wasp, and returned to Plymouth from L'Orient, were liberated on the arrival of the Wasp, and per mitted to go on shore. They were but indifferently received by the French ; while the American crew were hailed as victors, tapped on the back, shaken by: the hand, and complimented for their superior prowess. Accounts from Bombay, overland, have arrived to a late date in March, at which period all was tranquil and prosperous. Several ships were preparing to sail for England, under the new system, in the course of the month of April ; but they cannot be expected to arrive here till the month of September. From the following Circular it will be seen that the Algetines have commenced piratical depredations on the Swedish commerce in the Straits: " Swedish Consulate Office, London, July If, 1814. " Sea—l feel it my duty to communicate to you, the very unpleasant intelligence handed to my house of trade by post this day, (an extract of which is here with annexed) of the Dey of Algiers having com menced hostilities against the Swedish flag, by taking four Swedish vessels as prizes, on their voyages to and from the Mediterranean I and I beg most particu larly, that you wilt Immediately aCqualnt all Swedish Captains in your port Of the circumstance, in order that they may be on their guard, and not put them selves in the way.

GRAND FMB AT Canros-Housa..--Further Pan ticnlars.—Besides the principal branches of the Royal Family, there was present a very numerous awn blage of the Nobility, persons of distinction, the di:- feient military Officers now in England, who have served under his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON in the Peninsula, and other Officers, amounting in the whole to between eighteen bundled and two thousand —there were about 2.500 invited. The Queue, and Princesses AUGUSTA and MARY, arrived in their chairs exactly at ten o'clock, attended by a party of the yeomen of the guard and footmen with flam beaus ; they entered by the garden from the Park. —About half an hour after the arrival of the Royal party, they entered the polygon-room, the Queen leaning cn the PRINCE Rstotar's right arm. The Prince's Band, in their fill dress, p.ayea in the or chestra during the Royal promenade. When this Band left the orchestra, a very numerous band for country dances took their place, and dancing com menced. The fi rst dance Was" MissJohnstina,'Fwhich was led off by Princess MART and the Prince of SAES Cosoutto, who also led off the two following glances to a waltz-medley, and " General Kutuseff."— A little belore two o'clock, the company retired to supper. The Royal party supped in the new rooms which were erected to receive the Emperor of Rus. SIA and King of Penns*, where the cloth was laid for 120. After supper dancing recommenced ; the first dance was led off by Princess MAR! and tl - m Duke of DevoNsinne, the tune of Forders vows d lacer, Mademoiselle ?

At Leip,ic one Cossack Lid out 1000 dollars on pate :xelain, for a present to his n ife. - Some of our contemporaries will have it that this elements ()fa new revolution are organizing in France, and acts of infatuation, or drunkenness,. of particular corps, are urged as the procts. An °comelier 4 Nemour., about a fortnignt ago, is given as in point. Some officers and men, at a rrovinciestatiNt, in a tit of extravagance, agreed to raise the standard of BONAPARTZ, and march t+ Paris. The officers, how ever, quickly perceived their folly, and etterepted to restrain the men, many of whom mutinied against them, and proceeded even to the shedding of blood. Marshal °tremor, who was at th it moment at Paris, no sooner received information cf it, than he went down, and hanged or shot three of the ringleaders. The Ktao was inclined to have pardoned m ; but the Marshal, perhaps, judged snore properly in ad vising their instant execution. Thus did these three poor fellows lose t!.eir lives, because an infinitely greater villain than either of them is suffered to retain . his life. May they be the last sacrifices in so mad and disgraceful a cause ! The dwelling house, nut houses, and stables of Captain Murrell, at Durham House, Bucks, were burnt down on Sunday evening, through the negli gence of a servant, who left a candle burning in the litter while he went to sleep. Six horses were with difficulty saved.

The dastardly deed was seconded by his associates, some of whom continued to assail their now helpless victim, while others attacked the two youths • of these, the one fortunately escaped with ', out mu ch injury ; but the other was so much bruised, that he now lies in the County Infirmary, with little hopes of recovery. The lather expired on being car ried into the house of a surgeon. An accident, attended by very distressing cows quences, happened to the Limerick day coach on Sunday morning. On turning from the Circular road to the Naas-road, the pole broke.
