Their Journals teem with the croakiogs of gloom and de. spondency. A Mrs. Tuotarsos, a true American 'matron, it appears, had poisoned some spirits, and placed them in the way of the British, on a late ex pedition : a correspondence Inas taken place on the subject between the American and British Com manders, from which it merely appears that the f:raier knew nothing of this act of wanton barbarity. kirs Tnemitos and her black and white servants, therefere, have all the honour of the attempt, and will, , &ink, be rewarded for it by Mr. MADISON'S elect mas inConetsi t . . 800 risg, AUGUST 9.

" The Rattlesnake arrived in Halifax on the 13th, and the Leander on the 14th instant. The Surgeon, Captain's clef k, and myself, were ordered on board the United States cartel ship Perseverance, in which vessel we arrived at Providence last evening." Parii Papers of Monday and Tuesday have ar rived: the extratts from those of the former day are given in another part of our paper : those which we have taken froni Tuesday's Paper are subjoined. An Ordonnance of the !CNC% graces the columns of the illoniteur, in which his MAJESTY appears surrounded with All the attributes of a Christian - Sovereign. Wc allude to the regulations for the Suture management - - . of the prisons of France, and Which could only have emanated from the head and heart of a man worthy to rule over an enlightened people. To the immortal honour of the humane and virtuous Louis be k spoken, that hia attention has been directed even to the most neglected and most wretched of his subjects, at a time when objects pressed upon his attention which cour tiers and politicians would naturally whisper ought to prevail over all others. His Majesty justly regards the laws of humanity as the first of his duties, and evinces a determination to fou.>l his popularity on the affections of the vir- tuous and the good, and not on the passions of the ifforant and the base. Look at the ordonnances of che bane and benevolent Louts—Compare them *ith tail sanguinary and ferocious edicts of Bo;. NAPANTEi ye who cherish the memory bf this wretch and his abominable reign, and blush for the weak. ness and die depravity of mankind ! From Pads itself we have but scanty intelligence of interest—among the recent presentations at Court we observe the name's bf the virtuous and worthy men who were engaged In the glorious conspiracy of GEORGES and MOREAU to terminate the miseries of Europe ten years ago, by the restoration of their August and legitimate Princes. They, have been enobled by letters patent from the King—they were long since enobled by the approba- tion of their own breasts And by the applauding voice of every enlightened man in Europe t even the Sat of Louts XVIII. could trot have added a wreath of laurel to their brines; but the admirers of humanity, Virtue, and patriotism, will rejoice that such men at CoucueßY, ANbR F., and LkiIICRER are drawn nearer to the person and the council of the KING by the ties of Nobility. It is by reposing thr Confidence of Royalty on such then only, that France will becoMe a peaceful neighbour to the States of Europe, and 'A rich customer to England. All the persciris thus distingisished by the Royal favotir, Were exiles with his MAJESTY in England, and *ere, More or less, his counsellors and advisers. One of them (M. Coucrikay) in particular' was dis tinguished by the intrepidity and weal with Which, as a public writer, he attacked the despotism este- Wished by BONAPARTE. From enjojing a great 'h i periority of literary talents, added to a pasonal ledge of the great Charlatan histiself, And the insects which buzzed aboiat him, he wits more tliah their etas ter in the weapons with which he attackhd them, and Europe was fur a long time deluged with produc. lions from his pen, mostly tending to overwhelm his ;Action With derision and contempt: His name was repeatedly mentioned in the Manifew as their author, although few persons in this country knew the fact : a proot' of the keen espionage with Which the Emi grants in this country were watched by BONAPARTE. The French Journalists entertain us with a foolish story from Naples about the superiority of French over English fashions at that place. COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER B. The King set out the day before yesterday for Al toni, on his way to Vienna. Prince Christian is expected here every day. Colonel Brocker is charged With the renewal of the commercial relations with Norway and Denmark. ALTONA, SEPTEMBER 9. Yesterday the King' arrived here at ten o'clock in the evening. A guard of Russian troops proceeded to the frontiers to receive his Majesty; and he was received at the entrance of the city by the President, Blucher, the Horse Burgher Guard, and all the Au thorities. In the City there were illuminations and fire-works. His Majesty continues his route for Vienna by Magdeburg, Leipsic, and Prague. POSEN, AUGUST 26. The retnains of the Polish array commanded by Lieutenant-General Count Krasinski, coming from France, yesterday made their entree into our city. in the midst of acclamations. From the balconies the ladies threw flowers on our troops, who, rich in glory, were still distinguished by their fine appearance, after a very long route. The houses were decorated with garlands, dowers, and laurels.

IXTRACT OV A LITTER /PROM BATAVIA. al You will, doubtless, have heard of the success of our Japan expedition. I do not believe our Govern ment is altogether satisfied with the conduct of the Dutch Director, but, in a commercial point of view, great benefits have arisen. 44 The importance and value df this trade, seems to have been much underrated by the Dutch ; —and while confined to Java, it could not be an object of great importance to them. It supplies them princi pally with copper, for the currency of the Eastern islands, and took off a large proportion of its raj goods, such as sugar, and the like. 64 The Dutch not being a mandacturing nation, neirer viewed their connection With Japan, In a light which a connection must be viewed the English. They had no woollens, no camblets, no hardware, or cut-glass, to dispose of—and it is in these articles, that the demand in Japan is likely to be the greatest. 44 Once introduced, there would be no Emit to the demand, but the means of payment, and in this re• spect, Japan is rich in returns.
