FOR THE SUN. ; RE FRIBtTTION. " Take Physic, Pomp ! and feel what wretches feel !" r 1&. EDITOR-4C is really amusing to observe the extreme anxiety of some folks about physicking the little fat personage at St. Helena, who, by _the bye, is stated to he so pleased with the ex pected arrival of a father confessor as to venture from his kennel, and to take longer walks than usual. Sir, it is fair to conceive that there is some thing more in this than meets the eye or ear, coupled as it is with the progressive departure of his confidants, so that shortly there will only be himself left to take a " longer walk than usual," provided he can contrive to walk off by some one of the many machinations now on foot for ma naging his escape from that sea-bound prison. That the expected arrival of the Priest in volves more than sacerdotal consolation, 1 strongly suspect, and'l shall not even be surpris ed soon to hear that the .Patriotic Chilian Squa dron, under the command of our misguided Coun tryman, has made its appearance in the Southern Atlantic, whilst we are hoaxed at home with long stories of Admiral BLANCO, and the blockade of CaLao, 1 think it is either Rochefoueault nr La Bruyere, who says, " When two reasons can be given for any thing, the ostensible one is not always that nearest to the heart." The Trojan Sage, of old alsO exclaimed, " Time° Dannos ; et dona ferentes" and so can I conceive it within the bounds of pos sibility that the Priestly assistance is more for this world than for the next. If the little man really does begin to feel that be has a conscience, GOD forbid that he should be :denied-consolation. He has much to repent of vand the sooner he begins the better ! But J cannot join in the cry of morbid sensibility which now breaks forth respecting his sufferings, though it was silent whilst he was inflicting every horror upon suffering humanity. Sir, if cruelty demands retribution at the hand of Man and of Gov, I can state to you one fact, not generally known, which of itself alone would have justified the sending him to St. Helena as a felon, instead of saddling ourselves with an enor mous.expence for the safe custody of this uncer tificated political Bankrupt. The fact is not gene rally leis - own, beeitusedrom its nature it did not be - come .the subject of a Gazette Dispatch.; but hun .. dredi are still alive who can confirm it. 'Twas briefly thus.:`—ln 1'796 - ; the army of Italy, COM ma oiled. by Citizen BUONAPARTU, took possession of but kept the Genoese colours flying, so that when the gallant NELSON arrived there from a - cruize, in the Agamemnon or Captain, I forget which, accompanied by the Sardine, be came to an anchor in the roads, without suspi cion ; but just as the seamen laid out upon the yards to foil sails, a heavy cannonade was opened upon him from all the batteries, under Ge noese colours, obliging both ships to cut and leave their, Anchors behind them. When intelligence of this unnational outrage reached the venerable and really amiable Admiral who commanded the blockadingsquadron off Toulon, his indignat iouwas excited, and it was even supposed that a bom bardment of Genna.woull be the consequence : but his humane good sense pointed out that the French and not the Genoese were the aggressors, and he dis dained to inflict a punishment upon the unhappy people, whom-he cause to protect, and not to injure. So marked was this forbearance, that several vessels, flying light, under the Genoese ffag, were allowed to pass the squadron unmolested, until suspicion was aroused by the conduct of a large Genoese ship coming front the &ism ward, whose various courses seemed not so munch to proceed front the state of the wind as from a desire to avoid the British Squadron, intiticiug the Admi ral himself to chace in shore, whilst the other ships, by special signal, kept on their course.— On coining up with her, an -Officer was sent on board, who found her a light shin from Genoa, bound to Barcelona, but the katchs being bat tened down, the Lieutenant suspected something wrong, and insisted upon their being opened, %elicit he discovered between seventy and eighty poor wretches half naked, half stifled, and pre 2en:ing the most squalid appearance possible. These, Mr. Editor, were Austrian military pri soners, who had been told to the Spaniards, as slaves to work in the rptick-silver mninesin Cata lonia, for ten dollars a piece, by the French Com lnissaries, tinder the express directions of NAPo- Lxotv BUONAPAUTE ! ! ! They were immediately taken on board time flag-ship, and treated with the utmost humanity ; cleansed, their rags thrown overboard, and a complete suit of Marine cloth ing given to each ; after which, it being in the evening, each man had a pound of bread rind a pi n t o f wine served out ; and in a short tiote the imur fellows join'ett chorus in the poop in psolins and hymns of praise and thankfulness, producing, an effect of Alie.most ititeteating nature. General orders were instantly issued to stop all - Geneose shipi; and in less than a fortnight up wards of FOUR nt/Nnaen were thus liberated. The whole north of Italy, together with the northern coast of the Adriatic, being then in possession of the French, there was no possible communication with Austria, or with the Tyrol, of which those men were mostly natives, or of Carinthia, famous tor it quick-silver mines; consequently their offers of service were accepted, until they could be re stored to their native country. Two hundred, all ;hat could be taken by the fleet, were disposed of as marines, and became most valuable men ; arid the rest volunteered into a Swiss battalion ' then in our service in Corsica. Now, Sir, to say nothing of the cruelties prac tised upon our countrymen at Quimper, Verdun, the fortress of Beteha, &c., or of the cruel de tention of Civilians, of women, and children in 1803, here is surely enoogh to put a stop to all clamour about humanity and GENERAL BUONA.. PARTE. Yours, IGNOTUS. FOR THE SUN.. Ma. EDITOR--In reviewing the suggestions which I have offered concerning the necessary increase of the Law's Rigour, I find that I have omitted some important considerations. It will not suffice, that the particular wotk, an which either initiative steps or an actual convic tion have been had, should be summarily prevented. —A Periodical Publication, whose Editor or Author are in such predicaments, should be stop ped from all further sale, until the pending pro. secut ion shall be decided ; and permanently, of course, prohibited after conviction. Neither %mild it be amiss, if the whole materiel of that printing-press, from which the libel issues, should be declared a forfeiture.—Every subsequent con viction for the same, or tor another seditious libel, should be visited wi li an increased penalty i—a double sentence for the second, and transportation for the third offtuce. By this enactment, we shall be sure of the most desperate Radical not publishing a fourth libel. I have been led to these reflections, Sir, by the perusal of that pestilent fellow, ChRLILE'S " Republican."—How it escapes the notice of the Attorney-General I cannot imagine —since its every number not only continues, but increases, in virulence against our State, our Throne, and our Church.—l will not sully your pages ,by any extracts from this infamous publication, whose every column is marked with the moat Radical hostility to the Establishment. Its circulation is increased by the lowness of Its price. Having no advertisements, it escapes the stamp duty : but, if that were extended to all periodical works, whether published at regular or irregular periods; whether inserting or exclud ing advertisements ; and generally indeed to all works, periodical or otherwise, not exceeding the size of one sheet ; the seditious and blasphemous poison which now runs so liberally over the coun try, would not he so cheaply purchased. The CON6PIRLTORS, too, who have combined for the un lawful purpose of preventing the consumption of taxed articles, and thereby of injuring the State's revenue, would be compelled either to forego their ,. conspiracy, or to refrain from supporting their seditious and blasphemous instruments. The CONSPIRATORS, I call them, Sir, again and again. In the strict Icgal sense of the term, Iso call them ; being sure, that Mr. Bun': is liable to prosecution for having given such advice, and that his jack-asses who agree to follow it, are Conspirators against the State. Why are they not prosecuted? Why is -- but I restrain my feel. ings at the dangerous and—almost I would say— the criminal lenity which spares these knaves and humours thC3e Let me hope, Sir, that what apilears to me le nity, is only a sullicient indalgenee of rope for their own noasiiig.

The following are extracts : " PARIS, Nov. 3.—Yesterday the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the King and Royal Family. His Majesty transacted business with the Marquess Dessolles. " The Festival of All Saints was celebrated yes terday in all the Churches of Paris with great so lemnity. " The King gave a private audience yesterday to the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris. " The Pt ince de Talleyrand's arrival was stated by mistake ; his Excellency is not expected for a fortnight. " A report has been circulated, that art epi demic malady had manifested itself in the Texel. By authentic information received from Amster dam, we are authorized to contradict this ru mour : there are on the coast, as well as at Ams terdam, and throughout Nortb Holland, a great number of cases of fever, which are attributed to the excessive and unhealthy heats of the last sum mer, but they are not of a character either epi. demic or dangerous.

Let ters from different parts of the United States pro mise men and means; the Indians are clamorous for us to advance, who have certain information that the brave Creoles of the Interior will join us to a man.

We shall advance in a few days for St. Antonio ; we have large parties Out in that quarter.

" The pay of a private soldier in our service is 13 dollars per month ; Corporal, 16 dollars, and Serjeant, 20 dollars ; Commissioned Officers in proportion, besides a bounty of ten sections of land to every Non-commissioned Officer.
