The.,Gotteoburgh Mail, of the 19th inct. arrived yesterday. It confirms the report of the surrender of the isle of Rugen to the French. Upon a perusal of the foreign papers, the con tents of which were given in this paper yesterday, it appeared to us, that the visit of Louts XVIII. King of FRAMCL, ani of the Duke of Ancsout.sue, to the King of Swaoso, at Carlscrona, wu not a mere formal and friendly visit. This opinion was principally grounded upon a passage in the same papers, which says, " It is reported, that in conse quence of some new measures taken by the Court of St. Petersburgh, Louis XVIII will return to Mit tau immediately, and this report has given rise to a variety of conjeCtures, some of which are, that Rus sia is again about to commence hostilities against France." Here the return of the King of Faure* to Mittau is made to depend upon an important change, in the political synern and councils of Rus sia, which took place since the departure of that illustrious esile ; from whence it follows, that at the time he left !gigots, he had no idea or cape/lotion of returning. In the present state of the North of Europe, this is not the moment when the King of FRANC& would be likely to •oluntarily forsake the asylum which he has so long fornd at Mittau, and seek a new refuge in Sweden. Aware then of there. lentless hatred with which Bost Aram persecutes the Bout moos, and recolleCti3g the complaints which he made to the Kith!) Government on account of the hospitality afforded them in this country, we con cluded that Acta s soca had condescended to gra tify the Despot, by refusing to the unfortunate King of Fa Ames an asylum any longer in his dominions. Another supposition is, that Louts XVIII. not consider himself quite safe at Mittan since the re torts of the French to Koningsburg. Previous to the evacuation of that city, by the French, a very heavy contribution was imposed upon it, part of which was pail, and the remainder was to be dis charged within a limited time; the inhabitants, however, had been previously so pillaged, they were unable to pay the instalmeut when it became due; in consequence of which a body of French truops inam-diately began their march for that city. and are now aAually in potseuicro of it. Mittau is about 1 ;0 miles N.E. of Koningsburg, and ger taitly a French banditti, by a rapid movement, might be able to surpris: him, and carry him off from Mittau, regardless of the resentment of Russia. Auden may prove cured, because womise the generosity of As.usta• 01l incline to our former opinion. were in danger at Minas, from the French, the 'brim coarse was to remove towards St. Petersburgh, er some mare distant point. It could be no reason for their total abandnnmrnt of Russia. and withdrawing from the prntedion of that great pqwrr, for the pur pose of seeking a safer asylum in Sweden. By Private Letters front Halifax, we learn. that Sir A. Coco eASe was President of the Court Mar tial which tried the seaman taken out of the Chua pra6r American frigate. The unfortunate man, it is said, was found guilty. upon the clearest evi dence, of mutiny, contempt, and desertion, and was executed on the 31st August, on board the Haifa: sloop of war. The proceedings of the Court- Martial were to be puhlised at Halifax. but had not come out when the packet sailed.— fhe Ministerial Papers state, that these proceedings will clearly prove the infamous arts pra.lised by the Americans, to entice our seamen into their service. We feel the same confidence, but we own our re gret that the man has been executed. The Presi dent of the United States positively affirmed, in his Proclamation, that the seamen, taken out of the Chrsapra4r, were native-born citizens of America. An official Report wasafterwards published, in which they ate accurately described, and distinlly stated to be native-born Americans. In the opinion of the world at large, we fear, the veriii& of the Court Martial will not be held sufficient to overturn these statements. Tie Americans will naturally believe that their own Government speaks the truth ; but had the offender been suffered to live, be might have assisted in correfting their error. The removal of the man from human eyes has not facilitated the proofs of his identity. We have received N..ev-York Pape-% to the 16th of August. A report prevailed, that the yell rw fever had made i:s appearance in th at city ; but the New. York Papers assert, that, with the exception of a slight disorder called an bytienza, it was Wirer more Itealti.y. Our private letters are to the same eleft ; one of them, dated the 15th, says. " Our city, as yet, remains very healthy. We have not a semblance of yellow fever. The infirense has been very prevalent, but is not confined to the city. It is equally bad in Philadelphia, and indeed throughout the country:"—The trial of Mr. BURR commenced at Richmond, on the 3.1 of August, before Judge Mauna to, the Chief Justice of the United States. The two succeeding days were occupied with calling over the Jury, and other business preparatory to the going into the case,and the Court adjourned until Monday the 10th. Mr. Buaa was al:owed to remain in the mean time at his private lodgings.—The hostility of Donn. pursues our commerce to every part of the world within his inluence. The importation of all articles of English manufacture is striftly prohi bited at the Hevannah. and the same measure will, no doubt, be extended to all the Spanish settlements. The rage of the American populace against this Country hats very much abated. It appears that they would now be satisfied with the punishment of Admiral Rammer, and the freedom of their ships of war from search of every description. These Papers represent the English afraid of an attack upon Canada, in case of a rupture with America.— Preparations were making to put Quebec in the best possible state of defence. We have received some Paris Papers, but none of a later date than those received last week. The Legislative Body has been entirely occupied with the new Commercial Code. 800 AAAAAA 's Orators do not hesitate to say, that it is to be the Commer cial Code, not only of France, but of all Europe. The ship ChUsvich is arrived at Liverpool from Barbadoes, from whence she sailed on the 21st of August. She brings accounts that the Blonde fri gate has captured the French schooner privateers, Dam: Vi!lard, of 7 guns and (9 men, and the Hor. tow, of 8 guns and 92 men, to windward of Bar badoes ; the former on the 15th August. after a chase of 14 hours, and the latter on the 16th, and sent them into BArbadoes. The Malicheattr and Marldro' packets, with Mails from Falmouth, had art ived at Barbadoes ; the for mer on the I Sth, and the latter on the 21st August. It is stated upon the authority of private letters from India, that disaffettion had not subsided among the native troops. when the last dhpatches left Ma dras ; at afire given at that place by Sir Joists Ciao soca, it is said. the Stapp intended to murder the company, but that the plot was disccvered by acme persons who beard the wives of the Seapoys entreating their husbands to desist from their horrible design. its consequence of which the ringleaders were taken into custody. We are not competent to estimate the degree of credit due to these accounts. The Doicheg sf Iticlimon4 SCOTT, from Dublin for Quebec. was taken the I tls inn. off the North West Coast of Ireland, by a Spanish privateer. The beisita, Nye, from Norfolk; and the Nasty, WAIRIIIN, from Newfoundland. for Barba does. is captured and carried into Guadeloupe. The Averiek. Da Cara, from Virginia, boa short on the Note Sand, with seven fess watts ia the bold. -b _ wants of commerce, and the national interest. The Commission instituted in the year nine, having ac complished its task, considered itself dissolved Three Members of that Comno;ssio ~ M. NI. Gorneau, Leval, and Vital-Roux, Juris-consults and enlightened merchants, full of zeal, and strong in their devotion to the Emperor, solicited the Mi nisters for permission to undert.ikv, at their own expense, the revision of the Code. These Ministers authorised them. They did more, they encouraged them. These citizens applied themselves with di.. ligeace to the work. They availed themselves of all the information to be found in the French au thors, in the legislation of other nations of Europe, and thus enabled His Majesty, in the 11th year, to order the printing of the Commercial Cute revised, which has served as a basis for the meditations of the Minister of the loterior, and the discussions of the Council of State." M. Maret then read the titles of en Prriet. M. Corvetto—o. Gentlemen, tie Commercial Code rises at the side of the Napoleon Code. New blessings a-e going to be diffused over France. While ViEtory was marching under the French Eagles, upon the Banks of the ronished Vistula. Commercial Legislation received, in silence, the improvements which experience painted out. Com merce is going to take a new diredion ; the laws will be in harmony with its wants, with its habits, with its tree interests. These laws will be simple and easy; they will employ severity only against fraud. They will anticipate imprudence, coned missondud, and soothe misfortune. But it is time to accelerate these blessings. His Majesty thinks that the first day of the approaching year ought to be distinguished by the epoch of the exnution of the Commercial Code. The time is not far off, so doubt, when victory or peace will again npen the seas to nations, and the ordinary channels to com merce. The Code which you have adopted, will then become the common law of Europe." M. Corvetto then read the Pnyet. The sitting rose.
