WAR - IN LA PANDEE. Tim Count DE PuissTe has just published a Fifth Volume of the Memoirs of the War in la Vend6e, Which we have perused with uncomtnourinteast.: There is a sacred duty imposed, no . leslf bq llo nour than humanity, on all those. who, ih'the revo. lotions of Empires, have been drawn into the vor tex of public affairs : it is to bequeath to posterity the inaterialsmost proper for enlightening its justice; - • and to the historian all necessary documents, that, liberated froM the passions by ivhicli-we are agitated,• he may appreciate 'With severity, but, at the same time, with impartiality, the faas submitted to his discussion; cud thus present to a 'generation terri , .. lied by OtieMisforttines, the causes by which they Were accumulated upon us, and the means by which they hay be averted by themselves. •• •-.-• • The Contemporaries of those awful Bevoltitibei Which overturn Empires, cannot write their historY. Inthose times of calamity we are called on to choose our party, and to aCt ; to select our enemies, and to combat'thein thuS incessantly occhpied in repelling the attacks of crime, or the calumnies of intrigue. He Who exists in those guilty and uhlortunate periods •can he neither tranquil nor impartial. It is mcgtnbent an him, therefore; to abstain from passing judgment on .the general question, on the combination of "uses, with many of which he is frequently un thawed obscurity . ;Still envelopes the culpable, . 4 ' 2 4 nothing , but the. hand of time can rend asunder the veil which yet hides ..the powirful criminal Awn view But it is for Contemporaries ; In:writo Memoirs em, all the events In which they. wee 4nliaged, and of Which the truth can only be known i to themselves. It is the re-union'of authentic, deposits which forms the evidence of the cause to be tried.hy theage to come, and of which the legiti %ate Judges are not yet in existence. It is in the midst of the guilty, when a Writer has the courage to name them, that the pieces which inculpate them should be published; that they may, , justify themselves, or that, their silence descending tuptisteii4, together with the charges against them,i intyconvince future ages, •by that alone, that the ;times imputed to them can neither be palliated nor dented, i ,„_ : ..Titern are charges, undoubtedly, which it becomes lat dignity of those Who regard their own. charaCter, • 16 4,llSWet on l y , with contempt s but. when a man, V. 4 iversally esteemed and respeCted r and who has. at the head of great and important transa6lions, 4ressashiniself to the public, supported by every lied of proof calculated to ensure confidence ; when . he cites fa&a, and establishes them, as he proceeds, the most authentic vouchers, it is indispensibly necessary, for those whom he accuses, to answer him, or stand self-convided of guilt ! It is this con sideration which renders it a sacred duty for such lien aII.M..DETUISAYE to, publish their Memoirs in t he midst of theircontemporaries. • The reading of this fifth Volume inspires t ,fn . tf meland lo ly interest w hich resultSfrOMthe nom s bination of impor tant reColleaions with deep rel.t4tt nand , onizin •. - • i Amidst the Most horrible fi c.

In this manner, while, at home, the ItevOl'ution:e4 'wated.to the surrimit of power all that was most ~:,abjeCt in France, abroad it environed the krench. .'princes with every thing vile and despicable, with the sweepings of streets, and • the refuse of dung hills. , Beings wholly unknown, and destined, for the happiness of 'the world, ever to remain so, flung out el their proper sphere . ,by the storm which over whelmed all France,. sought, among the neighbour lug nations, to enrich themselves by intrigue, 'and assumed; at pleasioe, the - titles of Agents, Ambassa dors, and Generals ! Prodnced by the Bevolution, they never forget their . obligations to it, and all their • efforts were' directed -to support and confirm it.' In the Voliune'before us, the Count DE Porattiti h s.. hilt • Open t h e ir shameful manoeuvred , d ,out the dreadful consequences which ettended:th4::. Monsieur DE PUISAYE owed this jut ice , ttY• the . brave Mon whom he commanded; and whom he law perish, for the- most sacred of causes, viaims of these intriguers, who never dared to approach the spat where theit-noble sons of honour 'and loyalty fought and died.

What duty enjoined, theCountDa PUISAYR has per formed ; what yet remains to do, he will undoubted ly accomPlishi Honour commands him, and his gal lant companions expe& it from him. The calumnies of his enemies are more calculated to betray their own fears of exposure than to arrest his pen; and we would advise him to adopt, as a motto for his future works, the following observation of SENECA. Quanta dementia est vereri ne i fumeris ab Aznibus ! Count PALFNCE, a distinguished Hungarian.,No bleman, who resided for a considerable time in England, returned to his own country, and. was proceedingsome time ago on his way to this country through Holland. Notwithstanding his Court was at that time in terms of amity with that of Paris, he was by French influence detained at Amsterdam, on the assertion, that - as his carriage, and several other articles of his.property, were English, and he had been fora length of time resident in this coun try, it was probable thathe might have in contem plation some objeas favourable to us. He has since that been removed to Paris, and has not yet been. able to procure his liberation. The Princess SI • All- REMBSIEG, about three or four months ago, went from England into Germany, for the purpose of ar ranging some domestic atfiirs that were necessary to be regulated, in consequence of the death of the late Prinee.and Princess. Upon her return to Eng , land,'relying.on what appeared to be a double se- stirity, first, the existence of amicable relations be tween her country and France, and secondly, the `Sacred charaaer di Ambassador, which her illus.. -triousconSort bears, and which situation he has for .a long time most honourably filled, purposed travel ling alga through Holland to, this, country. There, however, even' she baS been detained. _ . Lieilttglinit Loan,, of the Claudie, has brought hoMe the Swedish OrderS Of St. Joachim to the: Duke Ds BOUILLON, Lord Viscount TR AVALGAU, anct.Sir AUGUSTUS isruovr. This- di,tinction has, been conferred by the King of SWEDEN upon -Lord TRAFALGAR, as a mark of his Maje Sty's respect for. the mernoryof the illustrious Neesote. The pigeon match between Mr. MAJUOT, of Is lington, and Captain Doetee, which was to have taken place on Saturday for too guineas, but which was deferred by % consent,,qn account of the incle mency of the weather, .took-place yesterday near Harley Coraer,•, There were twenty-one pigeons for each of the sportsmen to dispoie of, troM a trip of tweety , one yards distance. The Captain shot • first, and killed seven birds following ; he missed the 'ninth and tenth, and the 'filuteenth fell three yards out of bounds ; he also missed the fifteenth and eighteenth, and consequently ho had sixteen dead birds, Mr. MABBOT, missed the feurtill fifth, eighthe eleventh, foarteent le - and fill teenth birdie which decided the match its favour of his adversary. The loser, was the favourite before the match. • The American Consul at Leghorn, according to letters received from thence, of t he Both of July, had advices from Paris, that the decision of the cases dee pending before the Tribunal, respetling the Vessels arrested at Leghorn, qu account of their having saie. ad from England after the decree of blockade, had been suspended for the present. Tee Tneerez.e.-The new Opera of Two Faces under a Hood, was repeated last night at ,Covent Garden Theatre, with those curtailments and omis sions which liberal criticisms 'suggested, and, as we pretli6ted, effeaually triumphed. over its adversaries. —The music is, indeed, admirable in general, and exquisitely beautiful iu parts, and the Performers render =OIL justieta eheitee several charadera. --erhe piece, of ,course, in being rendered more compact, is more offeetive in the representation, and it now goes off with great spirit. The Grand Jury for the County of -Middlesex, in the Court of King's Bench., meet on Tuesday the ,feet) and Saturday the,2Bth of November, to receive • Bills ofindielment." • A very extraordinary, .occurrence ,took place 'at' Castle Eden, in the county of Durham, on Thurs.-, day,selinigla; which we relate yith much pleasure, es it records, a benevolent :talon, but still more as it teaches people never to despair of the life of a fellow creature when, in jeopardy t —John Arm strong, sinker, of ,Bishopton, was sinking a well at the ion at Castle Eden, at the. tlepth of fonrteen yards,. when about noon, by the imprudent removal of 4 few .bricks, ..biobiol had obstrtOed the gradual _descent of the: crib, and its superstraLiute, a great portion o f the well closed upon him, His voice was heard, and four sinkers who happened to be working at Haft, itbeet three miles off, were itn . mecliateiy procured, by the assiduity of Mr. Kiplitig, master of the inn ; but on attempting to remove the eaperiecumbene bricks, the well closed a second' time t towards evening all hopes , of finding. him alive were given up, and the work was suspended for the bight, as -he was no longer beard ; and the stato,of the shaft becathe hazardous., At this jenee ture the Rev. Mr. Brandliug, of Shotton • Hall, pre videntially arrived, and by the' most praise-worthy exertions colletc,ted the neceieary men, and materials, directed the mode of securing the shaft, and renewed the interrupted energy of the workmen. After • severe labour for the greater part of Thursday night r and till Friday at eight o'clock in the evening, their toy ,and risk were happily repaid by rescuing' the poor man from his perilous suuation. The bucket - E with which he had been sinking, lied formed the key of an arch Over hjs head; and he was found ie :a bending posture, closely pressed on all sides by the' bricks and gravel ; but without having sustained any material injury. Mr. Edger; Surgeon, of' Shot ton, bestowed his humane and gratuitoesattendance. Thus, -under Providence, has 'the happy benevo lence of a Gentleman, aided by the persevering ef forts of a few, naive individuals, almost miracu lously restored an industrious Oman to his family and the community.

The Manner in which this Ship is braced, by placing the lower riders on a principle pertealy new, will doubt less render her one of the strongest Ships in the British Navy.
