CHANIBEIt OF DEPUTIES. The Chamber did not sit this day.—The order of the day for Mouday announces no other bu siness inn the meeting of the Bureaus. It was reported by some Journals that a nine- ral Spevice had been performed at the Cowl of the Tuileries for the deceased King of Wurtembet g. It is true that the Court has gone in mourning for him, but it is certain that no such service was performed ; tor it must be remembered that the King of NVortemberg was a Protestant Prince, and it is not regular fur services to be performed by C,ttotlies for those out of their communion. Gem Lis/orde, it is said, is about to set out to the Court of Bavaria. • The waters of the Palais Royal were playing yest'erday (the Birth-day of his Majesty) for the first time. When the Commissaries of the Allied Powers arrived at St Helena, Bnonaparfe wanted to in vite them to dinner Al. Montrbenn,•the Fietch Comtnis , iotter, being invited among the rest, an swered to the servant who brought the message— " Tell your Emitter that I have come hereto watch hint, 3nd not to dine with hint." The proees ot the individual at Nismes, who attempted to assassinate Gen. Lagarde, is still pursued.. The Geoeral .has communicated to the . Coinmission all the details of this attempt. We learn front Italy, that as the Duchess of Parma (he Ex-Etupress Maria Louisa) was rid ing on the Banks of the P 6, she was thrown front her horse, and fell into the river, where she nar rowly escaped drowning, hnt that Count Niepet . g, who accompanied her, immediately threw himself into the liver and rescued her front a watery grave. At nine in the evening, on the 10th of the pre sent month, the mail front Paris to Lisle was at tacked near Chantilly. The postillion was shot at and severely wounded in the loins ; the shot wounded One of the horses, but the postillion rode on and saved the mail* The courier declared that be oily saw one than on the road. Some English soldiers at Cambkity have been condemned to be flogged far stealing at a public house. Un P t iday morning Prince Talleyrand, in go ing to die Tuileries in his carriage, ran the most imininent danger, from the inadvertency of his coachman, who di iving furiously sll?ng dashed agaimt the chain which was placed to prevent the entry of carriages. The horses got over the chain, and were entangled with the carriage.-- One of them was thrown down by the violence and stu of the stoppage ; but the chain was taken down, the horse 3 and carriage disen tangled, and the Prince continued his route.

On the 27th of August the Firebrand found herself near tour Vessels not tar trot Vera Cruz, whicb.proved to be his _Catholic Majesty's ship Diana of 24 guns, commanded by Joss SotioN Do ; the Hermaphrodite, Cassidor, and La Gera brigs, of 18 guns each : the names of the Commanders of the two last-mentioned vessels were refusrd the Americans. There were not less than 50U men on board the two first-nanud vessels, be sides many soldiers. The La Gera, at the time of meeting, appeared to be in chase of another vessel. The Diana and Cassidor took their places on each side of the Firebrand, and although the American colours were hoisted, the Cassidor, without hailing or any other ceremony, fired some of her cannon, loaded with grape and' canister shot, into the American, besides a volley of mus• retry. Capt. CUNNINGHAM, of the Firebrand, in‘ stantly 'coped on a gun and hailed the Cassislor, informed the Spaniards they were Ameritans,. and demanded the cause of the firing. The firing notwithstanding continued, accompanied by the most violent abuse. Capt. CUNNINGHAM be ing conspicuous from iiis elevated sitllkllion on the gun, and because of his epaulette, he was sinned at by a marine ; the ball narrowly missed binn,- entered the breast of an American marine, and lodged in his neck. After several threats on, the part of the Spaniards, Captain CUNNINGHAM was induced to send a boat on board the Diana, when the side arms of Lieutenant A. S. CAMPBELL were taken from him, he was placed under a guard of marines, and the boat's'erew were' beat and put in irons. A Lieutenant came on board the Firebrand, and Was hailed whilst on deck hy the Cassidor to get out of danger, as they intended to tire on them and show them no quartets. It was in vain he returned for answer they were Arnei icons.— The Spaniards • retaned for answer they were scoundrels and liars. Capt. CUNNINGHAM bared his breast, and told them to. fire on him, and not on his men. The American Captain was ordered on board the Diana ; but' before he went he or dered his colours down, which the-Spanish . Lieu tenant on' board - refused should be The Spanish Lieutenant, whilst on board the .Fire. brand,: denied the right of Americanslo navigate the Gulph of Mexico. The whole coast was not only, - he said, in a state of blockade, but the Americans hail tto commerce there to protect, — Captain Powraa was charged with being a pirate. The Firehrand was then regularly taken posses. Sion of by Spanish - marines, and to ,e was to proceed to Vera Cruz ; and if the Governor found all was right, the Americans should ha paid their expenses. Captain CUNNINGHAM however, re fused to follow the squadron to Vera Cruz; but, as they were superior in force, they mighttake him there if they chose : he would, at all eientii represent the transaction to his Government.-- Slimily after the American boat's crew were re turned on board. Id sh NEW Yottx COURIER, OCT. 17--The United States have become, firms time to time, so en tanglea wit'► France and England, that at la•t,_ when all deemed it necessity to . act with decision, the nation was very notch divided as to which; we ought to make war upon. We had been so long kicked and cuffed, during the - American Age of Reason, Mr. Jefferson's Administration, that we found it impossible to agree whether Great- Bri tain or France had kicked and cuffed us the most thoroughly. The Givernment itself was guilty of some very queer cspers, well understood by a few,. but never by the in,dril ode. ‘Ve pass these over, however, at this dine, for the purpose of giving our ide,ts on the attack on the Firebrand. If, when thi! snhjects of one 6 . ,;vernment corn wit an aggression upon these of another, retal , a- OM, were to be immediately relorted to, and thus artoal war he commenced, it: evident, that a very inlet ior officer :might -plunge Hs Sovereign into war, when he, the Sovereign hitiielf; was totally averse to it. It •does not follow that be cause such an officer has committed .05 outrage that he has been drdei en by his Government. law of natioos has therefore very wisely p:ov14& that t e injured nation, betore it re;iltii!es, shal state the' wrong and deniand re , irtss'hat the bovereign of the other miy hive an opportunity of disavowing the act, of punishing the wroni; doer, and r+ pairing the ijiiry. • The course, therefore, to be purSued by our Government is plain. They must cause ibis out rage to he . representea in its true colours to the Spanish King. Ile must. inflict a signal,, an ex entplary punishment on the wrong doers, and lie 'mist make ample reparation. The case is one of clear and undeniable enormity. The reparation bhould he not less signal. _ We hope and trust also, for the honour of our moot y, that the tedious and disgusting see-saw diplomacy which disgraced Mr. Jefferson's Admi nistration, will uever be repeated. Wrong is wrong, and right i% right. The power which has clearly and undeniably wronged us does not mean us repiration, if it does not make iiat once. -We hope and trust also that the punishment of the offending Spanish officer, iR such a way as to be an 'example to all others of like savage diipnsition, will be peremptorily demanded and inflexibly hi sisred on. And, it our just demand. are no: in stantly complied with, we firmly believe Oat, his ',mini, will, with o. e. voice, cry out for War with Spain. any view, such a war is not nntlesirttble with the U,ited states ; although we shou.d deprecate it cleepiy, u,►lesB comowiti•ed tor just and equita ble causes. The. dreadful despotism, the cruel and horrid ingratitude, with which the supersti tions plonk, who disgraces the throne of Spain, . _ las rewarded the heroes who fought the battles of the legitimate Monarchy of Spain, tchite be WM a helpless captive, and the revival of the Ingaibi tion, in an age like this, mark him nut for the hatred of man and the vengeance of Heaven.— Universal, 0140, i 4 the nation's hope, ardent the universal desire here, that Spanish America may become independent. Let Ferdinand, ha.; at home given so many examples in his own con duct of cruelty and oppression, that his 4ubjects abroad might well hope to gain the favour of their Monarch by imitating them—let Lim but fuse us a little of that justice whicb is due to us, and the United s taves will find no - difficulty in sintilltaneontly redressing their own weon- s , g and giving to the Patriots of South America such aid as, under God, will, we trust, crown with bril liant success their noble efforts for Liberty and Independence-. The British have formally interdicted the in troduction of American provisions into Montreal, Official intelligence tad been received in Ame rica of Carthagena having been declared a flee port. Th e Hon. W. H. CRAWFORD, from the War Department,, is reported to be the successor of Mr. Dial. s as Secretary of the Treasury to the United States. Advices had reached America from SUFIORM, that what are called the Bush Negroes, in the vi cinity of that place, had become very trouble some, committing daily excesses end murders, both in and out of the city. It was feared they would commence a sudden attack upon the city ; to prevent which, parties of soldiers were kept in continual motion. The Spanish expedition so long fitting out at the Havannah, it appears, had put to sea, and returned into port after 10 days, witLiout making any capture. Fatal Sickness at Guadeloupe.—Captain /news, who lately arrived at Providence from Point Petre, Guadaloupe, states, 111 At while there he saw in one day one hundred funerals 1 The sickness continued with severity when Captain ANDLUtWS Sailed. Two of his crew died while in port, and one on his passage home. The head-quarte►s of the 69th will to-morrow be established at Chatham, the regiment being now on its tnnrch from Colchester to that place. A detachment of the same regiment (the 69th) consisting of 30L) men, with Captains GUICSI:NG and CUYI-811, Lieutenants FRANKLIII, PIGoT, and BUSTARD, are on their route to embark for India. On Sunday last the Defiance and Telegraph coaches from Manchester to London were both overturned, the former four miles the other side of Market-Hatborough, the latter six. miles on this side: providentially no one was seriously hurt. The Traveller coach, the same road, a short time since, met with a similar accident. A vessel, with a carp of eggs, last week ar rived at Newcastle from France.
