The French Journals notice with approbation, a work just published in Paris, entitled, " Tim Decline of England; in a Linter from an English man to Lord LlVEttroot.." The publication is described as a moist .tion from the English. The Editors of the Paris Journals pretend, that though, ,aa good, Frenchmen, they. cannot read without interest the proofs ut 14 nglish decay established, and 'by an Englishman too, in this work, yet they are too faithful Allies to be rejoiced ut them. We know .nothing of the hook, and think it not im probable that it may be, ranked among the many forgerfes which are no,w , in such frr i e circulation. "We beg, however; to offer our gratitude to the French Journalists 'forthe sympathetic grief which they express at the prospect of .England's Clown fat, but we believe we na'assure them, that their 'sorrow is without Cause.

MYSTIR.Ar, DIMII A:11.

Ratification of the Trealy of Peace with .Imerica. We cannot let this opportunity pass, without noticing the highly important servuees rendered to their country 4 hiring the recent contest, by the Commander in Chief, and the Officers in subor dinate authority on this station. Local eircunt.. stances have rendered these' betii a scene of unex umpled activity; and whenever opportunities have offered, by falling in with America's cruizers,•our ships of war have been uniformly diitinguished for their spirited intrepidity. Although the Ca-. ribbean sea bus literally swarmed during the past season with multitudes of privateers, such has been tin- unreinittyd vigilance' of the Commander in Chiet, in the very judicious distribution orthe squadron tinder his orders, ,tluit the losses ()Utile commercial Community 1111%4; been comparatively trifling. in many instances when fleets were ex pected, which had been known to have lost their convoy," the neighbouring seas have been plctely scoured by out ships 'of war, to insure tlygir safe arrival, Nti better illustration of this . subject can be given than to state, that 84 Aftw lif;l4ll vessels have been taken since the command of his Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir Philip Charles Durham on this siation. Not Withstanding the notification that appeared in our last, relative to the diieMitinning Of-Con voys hence for Great Britain, in consequence of orders from the Admiralty to send the major part of this squadron to the Mother Country, his Ex cellency !tear-Adntitul Sir Philip Charles Durham, K.

On this oecutiiou, and indeed in every in stance,. our Naval Commander in Chief has rOnecil a readiness to do every thing in his power to - promote the g e neral interests of 'country ; and . with . such limited means (his squadron being inadequate us number to the 'exigencies of the ,service) never, perhaps, has this station.to Walt of an Admiral who so . effectually protected its commerce against the de predations-tit an enemy, whose privateers, at one period of the war, were cruizmg in every nuarter within this coninsand.
