This rtiVitse is very explatatory, ,of the defeat and first overthrow of Napoleon, as it vas the last battle victoriously fought by the British previuuly to the first establishment of Louis on the French Throne. There is much freedom of lyle and hold relief in the head of Britannia, lby Gayrard. ' rhe, revs rse has a correct and sharp outline, and is highly filished by Brenet. - - • No. 10. FIAQIIT OF NA.Efff4ON FROM ELBA. Obverse.—The Flight of tie Emperor Napoleon from Elba is here emblematically expre,sed by aft Lagle, with a thunder bolt, advancing to the - Frerch - coast fromthe Isle of Elba. The broken down doors of the Temple of *Janus, shadow out .the rupture of the General :Peace consequent on the Empe- Tor's flight. The date of this flight is on.the exergue. Reverse.—Mercury (the fabled 51es - seri - Or of the Gods) is carrying an account of the event throughout Europe, with an invitation "To Arms." On the face of the Medal is marked " Declaration of the Congress of Vienna." On the exergue is the date of the Declaration, " 13th-March." - The composition of this -Medal is exquisite. It has been 'ientarked by a Critic bn Art, that it resembles some of the cCiebrated painter Claude Lorraine,wiiere an elegant edifice in the 'fore grounit,and a distant scape, are surrounded by &large portion of atmosphere. 'The execution of this obverse Brenet, is.worthy of the eclat of his talents in the arcaracy and beauty of tbe•forms, the' neatness-and spirit of the out line, and in - .the truth of the, aerial and linear perspective. The reverse, by - Depaulis,,has graceful design, a floating mu tionl bold relief, and masterly'exectition. No. 11. MARQUIS OF ANCiLESEA. • Obeerse.—Head of the Marquis, rou►id which is inscribed, " Henry William, Marquis of Anglesey;" , and on the hottoni of the neck, the name of the engraver, Mr. Mills, with C. the initial of Chantry, the name iif the unrivalled sculptor of the bust from which the Medal eras engraved. Reverse.—Toe Marquis of Anglesey is leading his famous charge of cavalry against the French Imperial Guard. A Trench Sulditr in despair, is,on the approach of the Marquis, breaking a►e Eagle. The inscription is, " Charge of the Bri tish at Waterloo." The reverse is engraved by the wonder-working hand of Pepaulis, with an almost miraculous identity, though the ob jects are upon so small a scale. The different objects have their suitable surface, and are accurately discriminated. The Medal is admirably filled up, and it may vie with any modern work of the kind in Europe. No. 12. A SCOTCH SOLDIER. Ohrerse.—The bust of a Scotch Soldier, in his military ac coutrements, with the motto, " Nemo me impone lacessit." The meaning and spirit of this motto has been felt and un tlerstood by the enemy in the late campaigns. It is properly coupled wit It the national tmblem of the thistle, on the re verse of this Medal. Reversv.—United branches of the laurel and thistle, with the dates and names occupying the middle of the Medal, and spewing the different countries in which Scottish valour had signalised itself, within the two stated periods. No. 13. WATERLOO. Obverse....-Head of bis Grace the Duke of Wellington, by Brenet. Reverse.-.-A broad wreath of laurel, among which is en twined the names of the principal Victories obtained in the Peninstaa and France.

No. 14. DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Obverse.---Head of his Grace, by Brenet. Reverse.—The Culonade of the Louvre is inscribed at top. The Colonade occupies the centre and diameter of the Medal. inscribed," The English Army enters Paris the 7th of July, 1815." This is a faithful and neatly executed repre &Potation of 't Ire Louvre, an edifice very properly selected to record the entry of the Briti9h into Paris, as it was the great depository of the pictures and statues which 'Napoleon had Obtained from the different countries he had conquered. No. 15. NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE. Obverse.—Bust of Boonaparte in big military dress. Reverse.—A British man of wdr, in full sail, with the Im perial Eagle on the flag staff. The- Eagle on the staff is an admirable and satirical contrast to a Medal in the 'Napoleon series by the Count Denon, in which Napoleon is represented as a Hennles at Boulogne, preparing for the invasion of England. Buonaparte is standing on the quarter-deck. An other ship suet, beyond. The legend—" Surreliderenl to his Britannic Majesty's ship Bellerophon, Captain Maitland." On the exergne is the date of this event, " 15th July, 1815." Brenet, f. Mudiv, d. An exquisite example of nautical Medal engraving, elabo rately exact and finished. 'l'hc bust has the fullest relief, ex cellent character of flesh, and a beautiful style of outline arid finishing. It was engraved from a marble bust by Canova, and at the time was allowed to be a correct likeness, although at the period of his surrender Buonaparte must have been consideralily altered. But how justly may we say of him, with our belovedShakspeare, that after having . " Toueb'ti the highest point of all his greatiess, be ," Fell like a bright exhalation in the eveunkg."

Newspaper, which appears to be conducted with particular judgment. But the article which we this day in spit, from as- last publication, is remarkable, not merely as a specimen of the general tone o that Paper, and the powers of its Conductors, but of 'the unlucky predicament in which The Weekly Gazette is placed, of gratifying the Ultras of neither party. Besides, we think it an act of common justice, to rescue a very well-written -Journal from the severities of The Courier, and to give our added circulation to the independant spi rit with which it vindicates itself from reproofs, appalently very lightly grounded. We see that Dublin too has its Chronicle, anti truly its censure seems much to be coveted by ho nest men. We are in possession of some well-written ar ticles, which have appeared in this Weekly Ga zette,. and from which we shall iu due time take extracts. " Newspaper Independence partales so much of t?t< nature of vir4Le; that it must be its own reward. Not to speak of the policy which has been pursued by our Contemporaries, who, having seen that (thanks to the good sense of the people of Ireland), we had struck upon the most popular line of politics, have used every effort to throw us into obscurity, that they might steal from us with greater safety—as thieves hide the body which they have plundered. • " ‘Ve can this day furnish, from the opposite extremes, a specimen of the consideration we have earned, from the Organs of the Ultra-111i nisterialists and the Ultra Opposition. To begin nearest home —The Dublin Chronicle, which, though the public are ignorant of it, still main tains an intermittent existence, occasionally print ing, though not publishing, a continuation of these compounds of mankish folly and detestable malignity, which, like the example of the drunken Helot, have happily at length disgusted the party which established it into a wholesome abhor rence of its principles, and, though reluctantly, thus advance the golden age of Ireland's unani mity. In one of its late ravings it spits forth the following pus atque venenune against The Weekly Gazette : , PARISH MEETINGS. Among the compilations of literary lumber that have been laid aside in our Printing-Office; last week, upon the subject of the late Parish Meetings; we find au elegant and erudite paragraph, no doubt from a pen whose writer would be libelled by even an imputation of an effort coupled with literature; that ignorant impudent scribbler has asserted, alluding to the sentiments of the members of Eleven Parishes of the Irish Metropolis on the Hawthorne Manifesto, that the` result of their deliberations will be found below" (de pryiendis); the debates " on the score of argument, elo quence, or good manners," had little to recommend them, says that drivelling dotard in politics. Pray tell us, Mr' Strand-street Lecturer, where did you learn argument, efo quence, or rood manners ? Was it "below ?", and where below, thou underling of in udent asperity. Do you seri ously wish to have an anticipated answer from the- Parish Meetings to the arguments you perhaps intend not to offer, when, on Saturday night next, if argument you are able to enter upon, you will attempt to furnish a week's Work, for which neither Mr. Hawthorne, his employers, or the Pariah Meetings, will thank you, and for which you might have escaped contemptuous ;md well-merited observation.' " On the other side, the London Courier of Wednesthiy last liz3rds the following bitter pleasantry upon half a sentence of our last num ber TRIM BOAST—" At the end of sixteen months," says the Editor of the Dublin Weekly Gazette, " we may chal lenge our enemies to present from our sheets a single eulogy upon a man in power." What an impartial writer this same Editor must be, or else, what sad rogues all men in power are. This truly Hibernian vaunt reminds us of the elderly maiden in the play, who repels an attempt to praise her can dour, by exclaiming in a fury, " Marry come up I warrant no one ever heard me speak well of any body'."' The sentence, and that which preceded, as written and printed, run thus LORD WIIIT*ORTII.—There is a personality of panegyric not less illiberal and more disgusting than the most unjust individual calumny. We have industriously laboured to keep our pages undefiled by either of these forms of meanness, and, at the end of sixteen months, we may challenge ou r enemies to present from our sheets a single eulogy upon a man in power, or slander upon a private person.' " We are at a loss to see what there - is in this to deserve peculiarly thc title of a truly Irish vaunt.' " If it discovers to our neighbours any of that ccnfusion of ideas which has been, with flip pant absurdity, attributed to 'lie countrymen of Berkely, and Swift, and Goldsmith, and Burke, the same ill-organized understanding' which in spired the blunder, still conceals it from us ; but it the sneer is directed against the vanity of our boast of nut eulogising great men, merely be cause they are hot sad rogues,' and if the intro. (faction of the term Irish is meant to imply that it is only in Ireland that the negative merit of not being a knave it to be rejected as a ground for panegyric, we thankfully accept the compliment which plates our country ou such an enviable eminence. But in spite of the manifest inference from this clumsy jest of The Courier, corroborated as it would seem to be by the late reports on the Police of London', we will believe, that in that great City, as well as here, something more titan not being a sad rogue' is wanted to justify a panegyric, particularly on men who have so much power to reward, as to make all praise of them suspicious. Whatever may be the practice or opi mion of The Courier, we will think ourselves per fectly impartial in withholding our encomiums from those who Would receive them from the most prostituted, as well as from us ; and if this Irish boast' offends The Courier, and be is p re pared to say, that pride turns his stomAch,' our Editor may answer with a perfect truth, in the words of the same Poet, So does flattery mine.' " We, however, solicit a continuance of this censure from both Chronicle andiCourier, as the surest ground for our own self-applause; and the best proof that we do our dnty to the public." ••*' For "THE GOOD OLD Times," see the Last nne.

RE-CAPTURE OF - MARGARETTA BY THE: -PATRIOTS This morning a Leeward Island Mail arrived, which sailed the 17th ult. bringing the following intelligence respecting the Patriots in South Arne- ilea :--- A letter from St. Thomas's, dated the 17th 'ult. states, that the Spanish General A7oI:RAO bad been compelled to abandon Margaretta, which was immediately occupied by IiOLIVAR, at the head of the Patriotic Army, without a gun being fired. BoLf vali bad organized his Army, add from the daily reinforcements he received, Aloaft.t.9 was deterred from making farther resistance, and the place became an easy conquest. The greatest unanimity prevailed among the Officers in the Patriotic Army, which had recently been joined by a great number of experienced French Officers, whose military tactics had been of essential ser vice in promoting the success of the Independants. " Admiral BRION bad likewise been 'reinforced by several armed vessels, which had rendered his . fleet so formidable, that two Spanish squadrons at. present on the Orinoko, were not capable of coping with him. From the position of the army. and navy, the most sanguine cxpectatious were entertained in that quarter, of the Ultiniiite suc cess of the Patriots." (Frog: the "Inagua Gazette of Sept. 11.) " roar OF SPAIN, Trinadad, July 23.—" Offi cial information has been received by his Excel lency the Governor, that all the-Provinces of the Spanish neighbouring Continent to leeward of the port of Carupano are in quiet possession of the Royal Authority, and that all individuals im porting provisZons and merchandize, of which, it is stated, there is great want, will be protected in the sale and barter of their goods. " Accounts horn Grenada mention, the arrival of a Royal Spanish squadron at that island about 10 days ago, consisting of one frigate, a polacre, and 9 or 10 other vessels, followed by the Insur gent Admiral Baum, with a superior force, by which the former are closely blockaded. It appears that the first-mentioned armament proceeded from Old Spain to her Territories in South America, and afterwards went in pursuit of BRION, by whom it was defeated ; it then retired .to the Spanish Maine for reinforcements, and again went in search of PittioN, by whom it was a second time roughly handled, and ultimately compelled to put. out to Grenada for shelter." We received this morning dal Paris Papers of Wednesday last. They announce, a conference between the Ministers of the Allied Powers and the Duke of WELLINGTON. The following are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. 22.—The Russian, Austrian, Prussian, and Netherland Ambassadors, and the Duke de Richelieu, had this morning, at ten o'clock, a conference for three quarters of an hour with the Duke of ‘Vcllington. " Yesterday the Councillors of State and Mas turs of Requests attached to the respective Com mittees of Council, assembled at the Hotel of the Chancellery at 11 o'clock, pursuant to the sum mons of the Keeper of the Seals. The Duke de Richelieu presided at the sitting, in Which the Council of State continued the discussion of a projet of law, respecting the liberty of the Press. The Keeper of the Seals and the Minister of Ge neral Police were present. " M. de Serves, Councillor of State, President of the Chamber of Deputies in the last Session, is arrived in Paris. " The Duke d'Atigoolerae arrived at Havre on Saturday last,---On the ISth his Royal Highness eras at Amiens, and from thence went to Abbe. ville. •" The Foreign Ministers, and the Duke of Wel lington, paid their respects yesterday to the King. " Next Tuesday the Icing will lay the first stone of the pedestal on the Pont Neuf, on which is tc be placed the_Equestrian Statue in bronze of Henry IV. " The following appears in a publication re ,, specting the affair at Rhodez. It is without sig , nature, but is stated to have been written by Ma.. dame Manson : ' I declare, that I made a will.---I have taken measures that it may be opened immediately after my death. This testament will disclose secrets which will be consequently divulged on the day of my death. declare, that the means which I have employed are of such a nature, that no person can either hasten or retard this operation.' " We learn from Cahori, that on the 3d inst: at four in the afternoon, a shower of bail fell there, which destroyed every thing that bad been spared by the storm of the 22d nit. The hail stones, which were of an enormous size, lay three feet deep upon the ground. " On the 25th inst. the Prevotal Court of Lyons will try the Marchioness de Lavalette, and other persons, charged with a conspiracy, which was to have broken out in that City the Bth of June last, and the object of which was to overthrow the Government. " Aladome Montville Fodor is at present giving concerts at Limoges. On the 4th November, the eve of the Open- , ing of the Session 0,1 the Chambers, the King and the Princes will assist at a mass, to be cele— brated at Notre Dame, by Cardinal .Talleyrand Perigord, who, it is understood, will be by that day installed in the Archiepiscopal See of Paris. " On the 22d ult. at half-past 2 in the morn ing, a violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Angouleme, which lasted from two to three se conds ; the direction appeared to be from North to South ; the weather was calm. Immediately afterwards a loud detonation was !maid ; doors, windows, and furniture were violently shaken. " The indisposition of the Duchess de Berry is understood to be less calculated to excite alarm than to excite the most pleasing hopes. FRENCH FIVE PER CENTS. Tuesday 65f. 35c. " MADRID, Om 9..--Our Government is un- , ceasiugly occupied with the re-e , inhliihment of the Royal Ma'rine, Measure which is dictated by the necessity of protecting our commerce against the Pirates of Atherica, who are'every day destroy ing it. It is understood, that we have pur chased from Russia five ships of the line and three frigates, which are already on their voyage for our ports, where the Russian crews will be replaced by Spaniards. It is 'believed, that the ship Asia, and a frigate, which are now fit. ting at Cadiz, will join 'the above squa dron, from which divisions will be formed, destined exclusively to protect our maritime com— merce on different points of our Colonies. The general opinion is, that no troops will be em barked in these vessels. VIIINNA, OCT. I I.—The Emperor and Em press arrived at Old Orsowa, the Ist instant, where they received the Paella of New Orsowa, who de livered the presents from the Grand Seignior. " MADRID, OCT. 9.—lt is understood that the Government have not disdained to employ the talents of Canga-Arguelles, one of the liberaus included in the measures of rigour directed against the Cortes. This Magistrate has obtained some amelioration of his exile. He has been allowed to come from the Isle of Peniscola to Valencia, where he resides peaceably, and is occupied with some business respecting the Finances, in which he has been employed by the Ministry. He is said to have a salary of 30,000 reals. fie is a different person from the Deputy Arguelles, who is still confined, together with the greater part of his colleagues. " It is believed that the Russian squadron ex; , pected here has not been purchased with money, but by means of some exchange, the conditions of which, however, are not at present known. " The privateers intercept all correspondence with our Colonies. " Some fresh 'battalions have marched towards the two points of asternblage in Estramadura, anti in the kingdom of Leon, in the neighbourhood of Ciudad Rodrigo. It appears also, that the Pot , ' tuguese are reinforcing their frontier garrisong• No one, however, thinks these movements se.' rious." By Mails from Jamaica, we have Papers this morning from thence to the 16th August incla' sive : " The ship Globe, which arived last week from London and Madeira, was boarded on the 28th a 1 ei; th
