Extract of a letter from a respeclahle Gentleman at New Orleans to cother in this city, dated New Orleans, 15th July: " I have opened this to inform you, the hero of Now Orleans is no more; he was challenged by Colonel Benton, but refused to fight him, end Benton afterwards met him and hot him in the street. It is said Benton was taken by the mob, se cured in his house, and fire set to it—how true 11* same Paper contains an official cotnmunica- Hon by the American Commissioners sent to n-go_ elate treaty of pace w ith the tribes of Indians re siding on the Mississippi and its waters, who at the time of the ratification of tree late Treaty with Great Britain were at war with the United States. The following are extracts : PORTMIE DES SIOITX. " None of icen hale as yet cent forward a suffi cient deputation to treat with us ; several of them have not sent a single man, nor have we any ground to expect they will do so. And we have reason to believe that their principal chiefs and warriors con tinue to cherish the most inveterate and deadly hos tility towards the American people and Govern ment, and that war polies from those tribes have recently started for our frontiers."—The document is signed by W.Clark, Ninian Edwards, and Auguste Chateau. The Papers contain very long documents respect ing the American finances, and the disappearance of silver and gold from circulation ; one of these con. eludes Kith the following remarks:—" The fact is that the embargo, the non-intercourse, and the war, end the French and British sequestrations of our property, have diminished the sum total of the na. tional wealth by a great many millions. Ever since the commencement of the restrictive system, em bracing a period of more than seven years, the be. lance of trade has been against uc; that and other causes have combined, and the national trading cepi. tal has been denlorahly diminished ; the balance of trade is still against us ; and set foreign prices are higher then ever they were before, except during one short period of the war. To what is this ow leg oar having ton much money. We feel richer thin we are—luxury, show, and profusion abound in a country from which real money is almost banished. —The longer we continue in this course the more difficult will it be to retrieve our affairs, and it doe.) not require a very lot% period to render that impos.; Bible." PRIVATE CORfteSPONDENCE. =TRACT Of A LATTER !HON P‘RIII. 44 You oish to know whit I think of nor presont situation, and I will give my opinion with frankness •nd impartiality._ . . . 66 The party of the Counter-revolutionists, that is to say, of those who wish to make France retro. grade to the old regime, has for some time fancied that it covered itself with the mask of the Constitu. tion which it detests, with the more certainty to ac. eompiish its design ; well knowing that it could not overturn the constitutions' order of things as long as the Dike of Otranto is in office, this party uses every effort, hazards all kinds of enterprizes to turn out this Minister. They tell the King that he wishes to place the Duke of Orleans on the Throne; they tell the Princes that be wishes to change the dynasty. •L All the wise and enlightened men in France are convinced that the Duke of Otranto labours with the most perfec• devotion to establish the Ki. g firmly on bis Throne. His importance, his interest, his fidelity, ; all tend to this point. If tile Minister had a differ ent wish he would have allowed the passions to'work the will of the furious, and the King and the Throne would hasp b:•en %obverted by their hands. " Those are evegietedy mistaken, they are abso. lutely blind, y ho compere the present state of France with that of :pain, and thick that the same plan will take effect in the one and in the other. In Spain, informs li ll and Winos are confined to a few indivi duals, while almost every head is filled with faun deism. In Fra lice, the whole nation reads, thinks, and reasons. Twenty-five •ears of revolution have enlightened all minds : the GovernMent may still lie, but no man will be deceived by it. 64 Th e re is hut one way to govern an enlightened people—by reason, justice, and moderation ; every other mode brings net a catastrophe. s• The Duke of Otranto has had the'courage to tell truths to the Kiel( ; bit has •ealed nothing from. the Allied ['owe's, be:•:t tee., in the circumstaoces which we are !them!, they have an interest isi know ing our situat' biome their repose is united with ours. " The frankness wills which this Minister has spoken to the Kiqp, and to the Allied Sovereig•ls, is a fresh proof of she desire he feels to estehti.ll the Throne. If he had had ambitious and personal views, he would have made himself minister of the; vengeance of the party which for the instant appeared to reign ; he would love acquired an.immense its- iluener ; but he has despised this momentary power, ! which he could have obtained only at the expellee of his conscience and his defy. lie attaches too high aJ value to the consifl•rar he enjoys to become a !nail • 4 iti litis momeut what be has al. -•- - THE STATESMAN. ways been, Ilk* Minister of the country.

The eh loges in the Ministry, which have been spoken of, have taken place. Foucur., the Duke of OTRANTO, on whose continuance in the Government, the popular party have so much re lied, has resigned. Ile seems to have been long anxious to escape from the troubles and modifications of the Bourbon Administration, and to foresee the convulsions which are about to whelm France in new disorders. He has procured himself the appoint ment of Ambassador to Saxony, apparently merely •, for the purpose of being oot of the way for a time. Foucux left the office of General Police o n Wednesday . evening ; his successor had not made hia appearance on Friday. It is said he is to be succeeded by Booms:Noe, Assistant Minister of Police during the progress of the Re volution which brought back BONAPARTE, to whom he was also at one time Secretary.—There are others, however, of Royalist principles named with greater probability, as likely to succeed to this im portant situation. In rid, the character of the changes which are taking place appears to he d e . cidedly Royalist, and augurs the triumph, for the present, of the principle which the Allies are seek ing to establish. It is stated, that the Duke of FLUKE (General Clarke) is to succeed Gouno N ST.
