THE BRITISH PRESS. A tik nica. NtW YORIt. TPPT. 19 A N•w Orleans Paper, of the 30. h r f July, says. the Concl,aite Indians, who are 'vied on the Sa bine river, have lately killed two Americans, near Natchitoches. and threatel to commit fureier hos. tihty. The Conchattors alike with the other tribes west of the blis•isaippi, pay great attention to the opinions and advice of the Caddo", whose Chief is said to be tl.e most indoential Indian no this aide the river Grande. Th. Governor of this territory has sent Addresses to the Conchattos and to the Caddo' Chief. Aviiing the depredations and outrages committed eu American commerce by the Belligerents. the fol. bowing deserves a place in our attention: The American ship 'crayon/. Lyman, owned by M ..1. and K. Lyman, of New-York. bound from that port to Leghorn, was captured, in the be ginning of March last, in sight of her port of desti nation, and earrir,d into Porto Ferrajo, in the 1 Jand of Elha, by a French privateer. The consignees Ifilete se immediate application to the Court of Bra. which granted the requisite p►rmission for olorain4ig the liberation of the said vessel, under a guarantee, with which the Marine Agent refused to cotnply, uwil bard soccived iitiLturflioas on the sW•jee from the l'refed at Goulou. Every measure was taken by the concerned to hasten the reply, btu to no purrs,: none could be obtained. Thus eircum- stanced, the consignees made another application to the Court of in.., and ohtaiord it special sandlion and authority to hring the cargo to market (pail of it being perishable) under such guar:vivre as the captors ►hould require. notorious injustice of the capture of tire said vessel, indaced the French Consul to interpose his influence, and the French merchants, resident at Leghorn, offered their secu rity and guarantee (which the laws of France re quire to be French in inch caws) in order to obta7n the release of it to and cargo. All was of no avail, however. The Marine Agent peremptorily persisted in his refusal to accept of any security or guarantee whatever t and intimated, that the original paper of the ship and cargo were transmitted to Paris for the inspeOion of the Tribunal des PliZrl, who , e report alone should groiern him. This report had not ar rived at rutio lerrAjo in June last, and very pro 'icily may not do so for months to • come. In the icie.an time this valuable ship and cargo remon the most unwarrantable and infamaus deten• Lion. In mst cases of the kind, by the British, where setisfaiiiiry seen:intim ship and pro:ccds of carp have been offered to the captives or Court of Admitaity, permission has been granted to proceed to market. This detention is therefore Intended with peculiar aggravation; not singutar, however, I for the,' are veva, al vessels sit taineo in the same florto Fvreajo.

The following is an eztraa of a letter from Me mel, received by a respeaable house s—tt English hips besort, prohibited from entering our ports, and neutrals only permitted, few opportunities occur of writing to you Our Court is still here. the French have such a strong attachment to Prus sia, that they have no inclination to le.tve it. By the Articles of the Peace they were to cross the Passarge on the 20th of August; but they st i ll occupy that neighbourhood, under the pretence that the boundaries of I)antzic were not rei;u• laced ; for two liens were stipulated. and now L insists on two German miles. Prussia is not in a state to defend herstif. and must submit to the ma:idates of the two Imperial Courts.— The contributions are very heavy cm Koninyisberg, which is desirous that Memel should pay the half ; but there is no reason why two inhabitants should pay an equal sum with 60,000 The Loan is at S per cent. The fluz is very foal ; no less than three hundred died lAA week in Koningsberg ; and at Wormditt, not far trom the Passarge, not less than 600 are dead of the same disease—the whole of the inhabitants were not more than 1000. A dreadful distemper rages amongst the horned cattle. In 'hilsit, out of eleven hundred cows, the town had only ten remain. Thank Heaven the cattle here are healthy ; and we have not suffered so moth from sickness as they have done in the neight,curing provinces." Admiral Gauatca, with the last division of the fleet, and a large fleet of transports, amounting to allow 200 sail, with 10,000 troops on board, arrived on Thursday evening, at Yarmiuth. It thus ap- pears, that every preparation was made to leave Copenhagen within the time specified in the Ccn vention, and that the Island of Zealand was corn. pletely evacuated on the 21st instant, although the CROWN PRINCR refused to ratify the Articles.— From this punCluality on our part, it would seem that Gcvernment still had hopes of being stde to conciliate the CROWN PRINCE, although every over ture for that purpose has proved ineffeEtual. As we stated, yesterday, none of our troops will remain in Sweden, as was originally intended. A few thousand men there could be of little use, and such a mea.ure might tend to implicate Sweden with Dinnuak. The weather beit.g adve►s-, Vice Ad miral Sr aßnora's squadron had not proceeded on Thursday evening further than the Downs, but it has pr,.bahly reached Portsmouth before this time. Several transports are now unloading :heir stmt.!' at the King's Yards, in the River. Among the ves. eels arrived in the Downs are the Fylte, Danish prize ship, of 24 guns; and the Londaa transport, No. 136, the latter having part of the King's German Le gion on board. The recruiting for the Legion has proved •ery successful, and it will return more numerous than when it left England. His Mn. Jur v's hospital ship bultrukswesers, Captain Has , cutrr, and Dr. Jamisotc, Physician of the Fleet, Iwith the sick and wounded on board, who are se potted very few, as the Fleet preserved an excellent state of health. Louts the XVIIIth, King of France, his nephew, the Duke of A tanouLtme, and suite, arrived, on Thursday, at Yarmouth, in the Swedish frigate Freya. Everything was in readiness far their d:parture, from Guttenburgh, on the Gth, bat the boisterous state of the weather induced them to remain there until the 21st. Englishmen must feel no little pride in this new demonstration of the strength, spirit, and generosity of their country.— The Autocrat of all the Russias, the powerful Essex anis or r s NON Tn,is no longer able to rote& these two Illustrious Exiles. Tied as he is by the treaty of T.lsit to the chariot wheels of BONAPARTE, his widely-extended realms contain not a spot which he could afford to offer them fer an asylum, or which. if offered, their delicacy would allow them to accept. It is only in England, little England, they can find themselves safe and secure tram the un relenting malice of ' the sanguinary Usurper of their krone and what is still more important to their high and honourable minds, where there is nothing to alum their delicacy, or offend their pride. In England Of power and the will unite to make it the refuge of the unfortunate. It may be truly said, that, if justice were to be banished from the earth. England is the last spot Item which she would take her fight. We have not learned the extent of the cstabLshment intended for these Illus trious Visitors; but it will, no doubt, be worthy of their rank, and :limbic to their situation, under all the circumstances of the case. In coming here, the King of F pays to England the highest com pliment that could be ;said to a nati•n. He comes here toll of confidence, that under her pret:flian r~ 1_ he is secure from theforee and fraud of the Usurper, ' and that neither his person nor his interest will ever be sacrititxd to a selfish and eliigraceful policy. He comes not here because he has no other resource. Weielhe to sink from the dignity which becomes his rank and pretensions, and to surrender his right to the Throne of his Fathers, he, too, might possess terri tories and principalities, and rank among the vassal Kings of Boni AAAA C'S creation. A Treasury Jour nal, of last night, in its observations upon this sul,jva, says, " We wish Ministers had sent down some distin guished Nobleman to have received His NIA,' Eirr ri and that the honours due to Royalty had been paid him upon his arrival. There is something in the manner in which we have behaved to the Illtiorious Family of the Bouasoes, not quite satis !aflory to our feelngs. We have afforded them an asylum and an establishment; but we seem to have dame it in too measured a manner ; we seem Always to have aced as if we would avoid giving offence to the Usurper of their 'throne. Our proteaion of them has ba4 a degree of prudence, and our generosity a principle of caution io it, which ill accord wi.h the noble frankness of the British character. —We would have ha., the members of the family received at Court ; we would have the fallen Majesty of Loos XVIII. cheered and consoled by the gra. cious regards of our gond and patriot K What are we to pay honours and homage to Royalty only when it is possessed of power? Are we to let a people see that the moment they rebel against a lawful Sovereign, and suffer an upstart to usurp his Throne, England is ready to with draw from that Sovereign all homage, and comider ation, and deference, and bestow them upon the Usurper I" The public will be surprised to find some part of the sentiments which we have quoted, in a Treasury Journal. Their surprise will, however, vanish, when we assure them, that it is reckoned good policy to suffer the most servile and venal prints, to find fault with their employers in minor matters. This affedation of a will of their own, tends to help their charaear, and give them an air of independence. Besides, we know it was a custom among the makers in Rome to allow their slaves a Safarnslat during which they indulged their own Ira moors, uncontrouled by their owners. In this light, we must consider some of the above observations in the Treasury Journal. It was more probable that the King of FRANCS would have landed at Leith than at Yarmouth. lie was fifteen days detained at Gottenburgh, and it was impossi ble for Ministers to know when or where His Ma. dist v would land in England. liow then could Ministers have a nobleman of distinEtion to meet him on the shore the moment he set his foot on land ? As to his not being received at Court with regal honours, and all that, surely it is premature to complain, be• fore His MAJLsTY has arrived in London. For our own part, we think, that, to pity the unfortunate Boum SONS, would be an insult ; and, to receive them with all the pomp and pageantry of power, would be to mock their fallen state. A safe and comfort able asylum, and the esteem and tion of the People, we are confident, are all the BOURBONS want or wish in England. It is said that another Expedition is preparing, which is to be conunawied by Sir Sinner Sums. A number of transports have been taken up by Government within these two or three days. Sir &WILY SMITH'S frequent interview with the Board of Admiralty, constitute, we believe, the prin cipal foundation of th;s rumour. On Thotsday afternoon, soon after two o'clock, Colonel M•Uoaa co arrived in a chaise and four at the Foreign Office, horn Copenhagen. A Meeting of Ministers was called in consequence. with all pos sible speed, and about halt past three, tl.e Duke of POKTLAND. Earl BATIJKST. Lord Casrxertersori, Mr. PIIICIVAL • and Mr. CAIOBIIIO, attended, be ing all the Ministers who were in town. They con. tinued their deliberations till half past six ; the re stilt of which, with the dispatches brought by the Mess•nger, were lent off to His Maisnif. Accounts have been received from our squa dron off Rochefort. They mention that 7000 French troops marched through Ferrol, on the 10th, towards Portng4l. 'Phis does not agree with the intelligence which has been received through other channels. Letters have beset received from St. Petetsburgh. dated 041. new stile, which state, that the na tive merchants of that city, in fear of a rupture with England, by which their interests would have been affefted, dispatched a deputation from their Body to the Minister of Commerce, who, in reply to their inquiries, stated, that the sudJeit sailing of our merchantmen from the Russian putts was tint owing to any hostile steps being taken by that Go vernment, which, although it had received many provocations from England, he still assured the deputation was amicably disposed to this country. ‘Vh it is ultimately to become of the Danish stores, semi yet a matter of doubt. The captors are understood to entertain an opinion that they will be immediately purchased fur the uw of Government; and tne produce distributed among them, while others think that these stores, with the l).nish men of war and merchantmen captured since the commencement of hostilities. sill be ,e -served, for the pori:ose of hems restored to the Danish Government. in case it should secede to an amicable doljobtmerst. ; • "Z. /mot -Ay 0 .7 .... % •0 0•••• rriNnsuß --- On Thursday the P ar i s h Ch urc h o f Windsor w lu as rid opened, after h a vin g un d ergone a thorou,:h ten l i u .. with the performance o f the sacred Oratorio of as The hleuiesk, antler the patron age o f the i r Royal Highnesses the Dukes of R unt an d Castasince I P as well as with the ssnfhon of Then Maatsritsand the l'amesssas.
