II is reported that BONAPARTE has written a letter to the KING Ott the subject of peace, in which he expresses a wish that " His Majesty will deiga to return an answer from himself." With this wish, it is added, Ministers have advised His MA JESTY to comply. In our report of the Berkshire Meeting, the speech of the Rev. Mr. BARRY, who seconded the Amend ment, and oppolisfi the Address, was accidenltllly omitted. The Rev.•Gentletnan pronounced a warm panegyric on Minister*. for their forbearance in not impending the Habeas Carpus Act, and for per muting the litninished exerci-e of the liberty of the press. With respect to those expeditions which had been called rash, it ought to he recollected. that rash enterprises were sometimes successlbl. Their system of taxation was very considerate ; and, with respect to Ireland, he contended, that the people of that country wanted nothing. not even re ligious ; that they enjoyed it in the most perfect degree ; and that, if some persons were dis suti46ed, it was because they had not power to coo troul the State.

It was reported on Tuesday night in the city, that a treaty bad been signed nit the 3d inst. at Paris, be tween the United States and France. The Master of a vessel, arrived, on Tuesday, from Walcheren, mates, that the French, in re-taking pos erosion of the island, had hitherto not molested the inhabitants or their property, and no fears were en tertained of the general seizure and coafiscetion of merchandise, which was at first apprehended. The following is, we understand, a tolerably cor rect account of a case which appeared in a morning paper of Tuesday, bat which we declined to no tice, conceiving, from its affectation of ►mystery, and obvious anxiety to attract public notice, that, al though there might be some foundatio►► in the state meut,the facts were greatly ea aggerated,or perverted: " The accounts of Mr. Geo nos VI Luting, Paymas ter of Marines, having been for some time coosider ably in smear, attracted the particular attention of the Noy Board ; the examinatiort being completed to the end of the year 1004. a balance or 280,0001 appeared upon the face of the account to be due to the Public. This balance, arising upon an Acemoust Carrera only, affo►ded no means of judging co►- rectly of the actual amount ; hut as the sum was so large, and as it was still probable that there must be a considerable sum in the Accountant's hands, he was called upou to give in the remainder of his accounts without delay, and to account for whale% er might be due from him to the Public. With this demand Mr. V11.1.11i111 was unable, as he stated, to comply, by reason of the extent sod intricacy of his accouuts, and the number of his Sub-Accountants; and he therefore requested that seine time might be allowed far this purpose; but iii order to obviate the possibility of his increasing or employing in the mean time the balance in his hands, - he tendered, at the same time, the resignation of his office,and offered to put into the bands ofGoverument his estates and pro perty of every description, as a set unity to the public for any balance that might finally he declared against him. Upon this ground, and acco►npenied by these securities, his resignation was accepted, and an ar rangement has, as we understand, been made for the speedy examination and nil liquidation of the accounts. We hear that the office of Pay mover of Minors is in future to be conducted upon a dif ferent plan, by which, in conformity with the pre sent practice of other public offices, the Lalaiii es will no longer remain its the hands of the account ant, but will be deposited in the Bank of England." e c dr" •40.41.11 ODE Post Int NSW TSAI, ism By H.
