"'!'he following is the substance of D'O--- r 's • abOrt narrstive:--‘ One unfortunate General,' aaid•he, ' was killed within" fifteen paces from the . enemy; our people were ; and'it was not possible to rally theM„ until we ,received a rein, orceinent of 400(men of the iittorais; then we drove the enemy from the field of battle,. and put. , sued them for time spice of two leagues.

Th e y did no t strip him, but only plundered him of his sabre, his watch, his papers, and the money which he had about him. When the Duke de Bourbon went to Nantes, he passed the three first cotes of the Royal Yendean_Army. The fourth corps, that of the department of the two Sevres, sent to compliment him by a deputa tion, of Which I made a part. We were twelve : we found General Esteve at Nantes; he com manded the enemy on the unfortunate hut memo rable day of the affair of Mates, on the 4th of lune. With one consent we resolved to endea vour to rescue what bad been taken from our un lucky chief. We ; went to find EstZ‘ve, who re tched us coldly, though politels% He said, that be only knew of the sabre, which be "mad in his possessioe, and the watch, which a soldier had sold to a Major : after many pretences to gain time, and get. rid of us, he showed the sable. At this sight, our feelings were not to be described. As to me, _the tears were in my eyes ; .and I - was not the only one who wepei the Chevalier de 13-- 'stamped with his feet, and, taking hold of his sabre, cried - out, " Good God !" A younger person, who was With us, could not contain hint self, and muttered An instilting, but gross term, as descriptive of our enemies, in the very hearing ut Esitve and his Aides-A-camp. " TbeycomprehendCd his meaning well enough; but there was a calm after this ebullition of rage —a eel:if of respect, terror, and veneration, which they could not avoid participating, and which they durst not interrupt. We all crowded around this sabre, .turoing our eyes from beholding it, for it was - quite stained with the blood of the General; our conversation grew animated, but somewhat loaded with invective; the words we u s ed were no longer disguised.; and timings almost proceeded to extremities. At last we found out the Major, who had purchased the watch--he sold it to us for triple its value ! We paid the money, looking astonished at each other; we returned to st. Aubin, to present these precious relics to the ladies La Roche Jaquelin, sisters to the General. It was to them and to us the InOtt appropriate present th a t cou ld h ave b een of " Such is the statement of my friend D'O—, and I need-not assure you that every fart, and every feeling which it paints, - are painted with as much fidelity as clearness. It may afford some illustra tion of the characteristics, which you often hear attributed to the different parties in France. 'Those characteristics are forcibly marked in the first "Number of The Correspoadent, which I have" read with great plea Sure. Perhaps, however, the following shorter sketch by the Baron de will serve to bring the exact state of our political parties more distinctly within time com prehension of an English reader : and if you think so, you are at liberty to poblish it, 'toge ther with the other contents of this letter. We may consider France as divided into three diffetent parties. " The Royalist party, properly so called, is that which In good earnest de;ires the cud of the ReVOitltiall. It is not (as people wish to make it be imagined) composed of r small numb her of emigrants, whu, constantly attached to their legitimate Sovereign, have grown old in exile, and lost all, except houotir, As little is it eXchiSively made up of people, who sigh after the restoration of the old regime. On the con trary, it is composed of old proprietors, and of people, who, riot baying profited from any cif the depredations su common in the Revolu tion, have more or Jess been its victims ; it is coMposed of men who have never quitt France, during the most violent troubles, and who LaVe been forced, for their personal safety, to study the events, and follow the progress of that Bevoltition, with which they have often struggled ; in short, it is composed of men of all profession s en d ages, united by a desire fur the public good, the retueinbisnce of some virtues past, and the hope of tranquillity to 'come these people, of course, are determined not to - become a second time the victims of a smut' number of adventurers, enemies to religion, social order, the country, and its legitimate Government, This party can reckon in its body nearly tour-fifths of the population of France ; it is confident in its strength, and extent of means ; it is more moderate _than is gen era lly believed ; and only wishes to act in cases of most extreme moment and urgency ; this party, above all things, - Wishes to establish the peace of rope, and the legitimacy of the Throne. " Another party, more dangerous for France and the repose of Europe, is that which the , lcrench UoVerittlent seem to favour the most, be cause it conceives it to be the most powerfnl,and consequently wishes to support itself on its.inte rcst. This is the pally Which, knowing always how toflei;onimodate itself to circumstances, has, for theWt 93 years. Occupied all the places under the Republic, the Directory, and Buonaparte; it imailines, that, except in its pale, there cannot exist talent; and which, to prove this assertion, boAsts of all the victories and vast conquests which have been gained under its administration, and which ultimately led to the definitive Treaty of 1515 ! ! This party is composed of almost Al the agents of the present Government, who hold all their offices from Boonapare, and anxiously expect his return ; it also includes the purchasers of national domains ; monied men of the army, who were ultimately dismissed on the Banks of Loire ; and all thOse who fear to lose the places they enjoy ; it takes in a filth of the population of France; Paris supplies it with great numbers ; this party hates the Allies ; seeks to sow dissension amongst them ; and to stir re volts in their States. It openly avows, as neces sary for its existence, the continuation of war witl►out the kingdom, and illegitimacy of the Throne within it. " ' The third party is named the Orleans fac tion ; it is inconsiderable; but may be increased with ease by the great number of adventurers with whom France abounds, and also by the in dividuals who only wish the illegitimacy of the throne, tvithont being acquainted with the secret views of the chiefs. Their object is to make use of the name of a prince, whose errors, mid the courage which he showed in the commencenient of the Revolution, may second their ambitious views ; but who cannot be ignorant, that such views would only prep4re for him thu fate which betel his ambitious father. It most not be for gotten; that it was this last party, which, by sow ing the seeds of revolt all over the world, pre pared beforehand the surprising b'it short-lived triumphs of the French alms.'

This morning we received New York Papers of one day later than the last arrival : (From the New York Commercial .Idecrtiscr of Arw. 9.) LATEs - r raom AmeLta isLAND.—The brig Com modore Decatur, Captain DaGAN, arrived this morning, five days from Amelia Island. Captain DUGAN informs us, that while be was lying at anchor in the Roads, the night before be sailed, a Battle was fought on the shore, be tween two or three miles distant from him, which continucd without intermission for three hours. The battle commenced about 10 o'clock, p. and the firing, as well as rnusquetry, was con tinued until 1 o'clock, a. 73. The Captain and crew sa‘v distinctly the advancing anti retreating of the parties engaged by the flashing of their guns. As Captain D. sailed early in the morning, he had no intercourse with the shore, and of course obtained none of the particulars of the engagement; but he thinks that the Patriots must hare been victorious, as he saw the Patriotic Flag flying on the fort on the block houses, and on a brig of war ly'J)g at anchor in the harbour.--.Captain DurGAN also informs us, that there were three pri valeers fitting out at Amelia a few days before the Suchen& sailed; a privateer belonging to the Pa triots captured a French brig, bound front Ha. , vannab to Boiirdcaux, on suspicion of having Spa nish property on hoard ; the brig was laden with a valuable cargo of sugar and coffee. FROM HAVANNAH.—By the Mary Ann, arrived at Boston, we learn, that a new Revenue Law was in the press at Havanna!), and it was believed would go into operation very soon, compelling Masters of 'Vessels to give a manifest end oath, immediately on their arrival, and another oh coming to entry, similar to those of the United States.

Two of the crew had arrived at Bar celona. The brig was said to be a Northern vessel, but the name of which, or that of the Captain, was not recollected.
