publication in question. Count Lanjuinais requested time to reply ; and observed, that if the Chamber then decided to entertain the proposition, it would be in itself a heavy censure upon him. The discussion was interrupted by the Keeper of the Seals and Count Mole bringing in the Projet respecting seditious cries, u hich had been agreed to by the Chamber of Deputies, and upon w hich some debate took place. The motion respecting Count Lanjuinais' publication was then resumed, and the Chamber decided to entertain the proposition.—A confused account is given in these papers of. an attempt made to favour the escape of ; there appears to have been sonic ingenious strata gem resorted to for the purpose of carrying him off, but which failed in its object. His trial, so often postponed, vas not, it is :aid, to commence till yesterday. Every set of papers that arrives contains numerous instances of persons receiving punishment for political offences. The military, too, crowd to the capital in spite of every order to the contrary ; during the month of October, no less than 974 officers of all ranks, and '2,314 sub-officers and sol diers, were sent away from Paris. Priv :te letters from Paris state, that the forced loans which have been exacted of the hankers, merchants, and others in Paris a►.d in the Departments, to answer imme diate prrposes, are to be, in four..., wholly disconti nued, and tl at the contributions, as well as thy• regular cipenees of the Government, arc to be hereafter defrayed by a general system of taxation, assisted by such other expedients, in the way of Royal Bonds and Loans, as the condition of the public credit may render discreet and practicable. The funds arc fallen, and the exchange on London was reduced to 22-90. Brussels papers to the 6th, and Frankfort to the 3d inst. arrived on Thursday night. An article from Vic nna states, that the Emperor of Austria is to have the Brisgau restored to his dominions, and that the Grand Duke of Baden is to receive an indemnity for giving it up. The Emperor and Empress of Austria were, at the date of the last accounts, far advanced on their journey to Italy, by different routes. It is stated from Brussels, that measures are taking in France to form a completely Royalist Guard for Louis XVIII.- The men who offer themselves must prove their -good conduct and their at taclunent to the King, by a certificate from three No tables and the Mayor of their Commune. Dispatches were on Thursday received by Government, and also the India Company, announcing the termination of the war in India against the Rajah of Napaul. They were brought by the Sphynx sloop of war, the Hon. Cap tain Tumour, who arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, after a vo) age of sixteen weeks from Madras. By the treaty between the Supreme Government and the Rajah of Napaul, of which a copy has been transmitted, the ob jects of the war are said . to have been accomplished to the fullest extent, and the terms of the peace arc more favour able than could have been anticipated, from the warlike spirit of the Napaulese, the nature of the country, and the formidable resistance which they made to the progress of our army. The chain of forts and strong natural positions along the frontier of Napaul, bordering upon and intermix ed with the'Company's territory, have been conceded by the enemy, and no ground remains to apprehend a re currence of those aggressions and predatory warfare SQ long carried on by the Napaulese, which have been stated as the cause of the late hostilities.

Wednesday, Government received dispatches from Halifax by the Caose schooner, arrived at Portsmouth, and with these came to hand New York Papers to the 7th 'ult., and letters from Halifax to the 23d. It would appear by the latter, as if some alarm had been excited there on account of the threatening aspect of affaits between the British and Ameri cans on the Lakes. It was not known, whether it was with a view to offensive or defensive measures, or whether it was merely from motives of pride, that so great a struggle was making by the English and Americans to maintain a sn periority of shipping on those waters; but it was asserted. that at no time of the war were greater exertions made. on both sides, to attain this end. The British, it was said. gave the first impulse, b y building and purchasing a number of vessels to be placed on Lakes Et ie and Heuron. The American Govern. went immediately followed the example, by collecting tinnier.- ous shipping for the same stations. Goyernor Cases orders were, to lose no time in having the American shipping in readiness. New forts were also erected under his super ! . intendance. One on an enlarged scale was to he hint im mediately in the neighbourhood of Detroit, intended to cony mand all the country adjacent. By papers from New York In the Ist October, it appears that a treaty has been concluded between the States of New 'Yolk, and the Senecca nation of Indians, for the purchase of all the Islands in the Niagara River, between Lake Oetario and Lake Erie.--The treaty was entered into on the tsth of September last, at Buffalo. The Chiefs, Suchems, and war riors, were the contracting parties for the Senecca Nation. and I). Tompkins, Esq. Governor of the State of New York, and others, signed on behalf of the State of New York For the cession of the islands in question, it was agreed that the Indians were to receive one thousand dollars, and, in addi tion to this sum already advanced, it was covenanted, that the people of the State of New York should pay to the Indians annually,.and for ever, 500 dollars, to he paid on or before the Ist day of June in each year, at Canandaigus, in the county of Ontario; the first payment to he made on the Ist day of June, 1816. The islands ceded by this treaty are Squaw Island, Strawberry Island, thand Island ? Nayy Island, anct-Goat Nllhatever may be their future commerce, the American States have, it is understood, not succeeded in any pf their great speculations in manufacture; the chief adventurers in the woollen, silk. and other branches, which they thought to push to a.great extent of rivalry of English produce, having failed, and become insolvent. A foreign raper, under the head of Trieste, Oct. 4, con- tains the following account of operations of the American squadron against the. Barbary Powers':—" Orr the 10th of August the American squadron, consisting of four frigates, a brig, and a cutter, after having made the government of Algiers pay 150,000 dollars, and that of Tunis 80,000, made its appearance before Tripoli, where it remained till the 18th. During these three days, the Dey was compelled to pay the Americans the sum of 50,000 dollars, which was bropght on board by the barges of the Dey, accompanied with music: There was also paid an additional sum of 30,000 d o llars; as the value of the brig Agile, taken by the Americatuwand car. tied by them into the port of Tripoli; and which, upon a note from the English Consul, had*been releisfirdUring the night.—While the Americans . ivrtobtfirs! retorting the old' practice, and levying contributions on the Barbary rowers, a 1 I war- ation, Y.rk.
