HAMBURG!! MAIL. " 't'l►e probity and patriotic sentiments of Aus tria and Prussia cannot allow us to expect that they woc►ld quie►lv look on while it was attempted to plunder %vitt, diplomatic address their subjects and co►►federates. " No, fellow Citizens never believe this ab surdity, which is an insult to all justice and right, and is also not compatible with the dispysitions of England and Russia, which have also guaran teed-the Treaty of 20(h November, 1815.. It it should be found reasonable that France should be relieved from a part of - its heavy obligations, this 'diet can respect only the extraordinary contri butions of seven hundred millions, but by no weans he taken from the well-founded claims of individual citizens who cannot right themselves, but who, with arms in their hands, or by court less sacrifices, contributed to enable the High Allies powerfully to assert their rights." CfirENHAGEN, SEPT.. I6.—The Austrian Con sul General here has publicly signified, that the exportation of arms and all military stores is now free from the whole Austrian Empire, excluding, however, direct consignments to countries which are in open rebellion against their lawful Govern- lIICIIES. FLANDERS MATL. A Flanders Mail arrived at a late hour last nigh The following are extracts " ANTWERP, SEPT. 25 ' to THE Ebitoit or THE NIF.RCURY OF ANTWERP Ourird, Set. 20. !This day, Sept . 18, th e f oresta ll ers offered en to a the far p mers in the market four florins above the price which they asked fur their corn. The Burghers were incensed at this,' and drove the forestallers out of the market ; the populace then pursued them mkt of the city, promising to hang them if they return ed; the same threat was uttered against such of those fore vallert• as have a residence here, if they return e d to their Louses, D.

The States Genetal, we hear, are convoked for the I.sth. " The acconnts from the Rhenish frontiers state, that the price of corn is falling sensibly, but it is still high in comparison With late years. The price of other articles tall in proportion, but that of meat is rising. It is nearly the same in Germany, where great herds of cattle are pur chased in the provinces bordering on the North Sea, particularly in the ancient circle of West phalia. " The Patriotic Association which has been formed at Ghent, has-- given rise to a Circular Letter from the Governor of East Flanders to the Sub-Intendants and Mayors, which we shall communicate to our Readers. " Li•'ut.-General Lord Hill is arrived here from Paris. The works for the'palace of the Ring, the Plan of which has beets finally adopted, will be begun this year, though the season is far ad vanced." We are sorry to relate a dreadful accident which happened n ear Kirby-parsonage, litm gay , t h e re sidence of the Rev. Mr. Wilson. Two very fine young men, both under twenty years, the H on . - .Messrs. Keppel, sons of the EaII of Albetnalle, went out with their guns, and in getting through: A lr, dye the coat of the one caught the other's tri4ger, acid the whole contents of the gun lodged in his brother's leg. The youth not wounded ren - ed his broth e r every assistance possible, but tit.ding he could not remove him, or do hint any permanent good, fled wit h the gr ea t es t s p e ed for medical aid, whi c h happe ned most unfortunately to be at a great distance, and sad to relate, on Iris venni) with a surgeon he found his brother had bled to death. A Hamburg!' Mail arrived 1-ist night. The Pa Tiers contaio the following curious article respect ing the etairug on Pram e , SEPT. 13.—The Gazette of this City cow 'tins the following article : " In N. 251 of the Frankfort 0.P..4. Gazeite, we read an edifying article from Paris, Sept. 3, 'of the following tenor : We are indebted to the diplomatic ability of the Ministry for the success of a negociation high ly important to France. The great Allied Powers have at leng It become sensible of the abuses cause( by the innumerable claims of little Princes, single cities, and private persons, by which the liquidations opened by the Treaty of Nov. 20. were swelled to the immense amount of 1500 lions of francs. The-maximum of the total sum of the claims is now fixed at 4i - millions, which are to be proportionably divided among the -claimaots.' • " This precious paragraph contains only lies land nonsense. The claims of little Princes, sin gle Cities, and ptivale persons, if they are just, are doubtless as sa, red to an honest creditor as th e den t .tud s of great Princes, great Cities, and great Geoeral. it ;, we tl known that the rrench, t which thcy possessed, always abused the et edet of individuals, With promises of speedy payment. Hence it may be easily explain ed why, upon he sudden catastrophe, their mass of d,lits was become so great, particularly from their *Preen! necessities at the end of their dominion. But it is wholly false that the claims amount to 130() millions of francs ;• they amount on the Ivliftle to only 824 millions, i. e. little more than the half. Besides, Commissioners from both par ties %vete appointed to examine their validity, and U.eir, decision must be called for before it can be said wbat claims, if any, . were unreasonable. German Citizens must not be robbed of their pro ' perry because the dcbtors think the sum too larae, only he must be rejected whose demand is not founded in justice; if we could give the smallest credit to this Paris news, which seem to mention their diplomatic ability, with arrogance towards the foreign powers, we should think we di wrong to the wisdom and justice of the Higl Allies. AMERICA AND DENMARK. To his Excelleacy . lll - tjor.General pent zon, Governor-Genera of the banish WrA India Islands. K Brig Bornh o l m , St. Ch r i i tiantadt, July 6, 18 AUMANN. 17. On the 9th, the Governor•Geueral issued the following order : The boat belonging to the brig Bornholm, hav ing, agreeably to a complaint from the command ing officer, (of which a copy is enclosed,) on the evening of last Sunday, been insulted by the crew on hoard your vessel, you will deliver up to the brig Bornholm, him or them that may be guilty, in order that be or they, after an examination has taken place, may be brought to condign punish meta. Signed) Goverment-Rouse gth Ju l y, BENTZON. P. Sled':lin, Secretary to captain Zuiti , Master of the Auierican ship Gleaner. Oti the evening of the Oth, the same boat went alongside of the ship n ith an Officer, who demanded the person win; had committed the al leged offence; the mate replied, that he had not seen any person do it, but if it had been done, it must have been by Stewart, who had been beaten by the same boat's crew : on this the mate, toge ther with Stewart, and another of the crew, were ordered into the boat, and conveyed on board the Bornholm, and examined ; the boat was then - dispatched for the remainder of th e ship's company, who also were interrogat ed nothing, however, appearing from their tes timony to criminate any particular individual, the mate and crew, with the exception of Stewart, were returned to their own vessel. Alter repeat. ed endeavours, by threats, and promises of par don (which, however, proved unavailing), to in duce Stewart to discover the person who had been guilty of the alleged offence, he also was returned ro the ship. In the mean time, the examinations were laid before his Excellency the Governor- General, who admitted that the difference did not go to prove the commission of the act by ally indi vidual, but that there were grounds for suspicion, hut! an example must be made ; for which purpose he ordered the Bornholm's boat along-sid e the Gleaner,to take out Stewart, and flog him on board the brig. This arbitrary, unjust, and illegal act, was put in execution in the following most inhuman and barbarous manner : his arms and legs were extended, and in that position lashed to a grating ; a Danish sailor was placed on each side of hint, who inflicted on his back 27 severe lashes, each striking alternately with a two-inch bard rope, which lacerated him in such a manner, as to ren der him unlit (in the opinion of two medical gen dente!, who examined him) to perform his duty for a length of time. The American Consul at St. Thomas having communicated to our Government a statement of these proceedings, we have too much confid en c e in its sense of right, its energy, and regard for our ci tizens, to doubt that a suitable atonement will be required from the Danish Government ; and that if retributive justice be not granted, retaliation must inevitably follow : and may an example' then be made, not of the innocent, but of the fate that awaits the contemptuous scorne;s of every sens e of impattiality, decorum, and justice, when they may happen to militate with their own views, and who set at nought the reqnirentents and lega lized usag e s of th e i r own country. We reeat, lhat th e i nformation on this subject, and theet do cuments, are derived from the most authentic source." The following particulars of the affair between the American ship Gleaner and the Danish brie gornlolat, are from the 3altimore Patriot of the 19th August ' "On Sunday, fith July, a part of the tree' of the ship Gleaner, 0 Zuil, master ) of New York, were on shore at •Christianstadi, St. Croix, amongst whom was a man named William Stewart, an or derly well•behaved seaman, not by goy means ha bituated to intoxication; on this day, however, •I e had unfortunately taken a ' drop ton much ;' a part of the crew of his Danish Majesty's brig ' Bornholm, being also on shore ; with a stated de t-rinination to beat and abase the Americans, one of them Won found means to provoke Stewart to such a degree as to create a ynarrel ; words soon produced blows ;. a contest ensued, im which the Ametican, notwithstanding his inebriety, proved too much for the Daitte, whose comrades, morti fied at the result, and in the trite spirit of Danish magnanimity, all joined and beat the American tn..st ni.mercifully. There was a lad 15 or 16 years of age, in comp my with Steward, who remained an idle spectator of the scene, fearful that, should he inter ere, he might meet with similar treatment. Alter the Danes had fully satiated their brutality on their unfortunate victim, this lad conveyed Stewart on board of his ship. On the evening of the same day, one of the boats the Bornholm (o n ho .rd which were the same men who had beaten Stewart, unaccompanied by an officer) de signedly passed under the stern of the Gleaner; the Danes, by abusive language, and threatening gestures, provoked some one of the ship's crew t(, throw a stone, which struck a pet son in the boat. On the Sth of the same month, the Com mander of the brig preferred a complaint against the crew to the Governor, of which the following is a copy : May it please your Excellency,—Agreeably to a complaint from the Quarter-waster, ,Christian Brizon, I am under the necessity of laying before your Excellency a complaint of the conduct of some American sailors on board the ship Gleaner, against the crew of his Majesty's brig's boats, on the afternoon of last Sunday, the Gth of the month, a quarter before 8 ►'clock, %%lieu the boat beloOg ing to the brig 'tombola), with part of the crew belonging to said brig, was rowing under the stern of the ship Gleaner, they were, without any provocation, attacked with large stones, thrown from the ship into the boat ; one of these stones, which we have got on board, hit the constable, N. Udreis, on the arm, which occasioned a contu sion, and, if inflicted in a more tender part, might have proved dangerous. In order to- secure his Majesty's vessel in the future from similar insult, I beg most humbly of your Excellency, that the matter may he inquired into, and the offender punished.

Q(11S, DICEttE rtu.sum AUUEAT LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1817. The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were d ue this morning, have not come to band. The honourable triumph of the Loyal Citizens of London over revolutionary rancour and hack neyed declamation, proceeds with the most grati fying success. Mr. Alderman CHRISTOPHER SMITH, so unjustly passed over last year, owing to the arts of Faction, and who, by the solid worth of his character, as well as by the useful precedent of experience, is fully entitled to the support of his fellox-citizens, is now apparently ce►tain of ob taining that honour which he ought to have enjoyed last year. We shall, therefore, spare ourselves the labour of attending to the virulent trash of the intruding Demagogues, one of whom is chit racteriscd by deplorable ignorance and vulg sr;ti : and the o t h er b y t h e same rancorous spirit w h'ci • appears i n t h ose pro d uct i ons of his polluted pr e's/ that have already exposed him to the clang that punishment from which he escaped by 1 0 : dent, but whi c h, un l ess h e changes his colunic may hereaft er teac h hi m b etter, or, at 1615 i ' safer principles of action. We must, bl; ever, for a moment pause to n ot ice the fa; of those v i rtuous J aco b inical Gemini; MCI SI HITCHENS and Woo Lea, in adverting to the l es e 1';93 as the mra of Briti s h F o ll y , w hi ch, on no contrary, w as the sera of Ga turpitude s r) atrocity, when such men as the above I'ar fratrum were exalted to the power of overturai h • their lawful Government, murdering their amio l ' ;: eir Sovereign, an d sprea di ng dismay, consternat' and horror, all over the world. „, We find t h at Th e British Press seems determill'- _ to have the last word upon the subject of the pr' posed Co mmutat i on of . the Window f ax i n D e, land, and demands arguments from us rather W I/ paradoxes. What our paradoxes were, we tne s leave the sagacity of ThesPress to discover. fi t for arguments; they w!rcso,satisfactorily giver il . Mr. HAWTHORNE'S Lett,er, which we yesterM submitted to our Readers, as well as in our e s° tracts from The Correspondent, one of the bit public journals of Ireland and this Country, tart wg conceived we should not only be guilty o f pre sumption, but ” burn day-light," in obtruding an: remarks on the, subject. But if The Press wishe' to contend with arguments, let it answer Mr. Milt THORNE'S Letter, which was inserted in its owl Paper, and the passing over whicb in total silent' seems to indicate a conviction of its truth and justice, which it wants the grace to acknowledge. The following is an extract of a letter frorr Croe (Coast of Sumatra), dated March 21,181 7 " About two days ago, three people arrived here from the southward, who proved to be Lascarsi belonging to the ship Union, Captain BARKER. • . This vessel sailed from Calcutta' about 15 months ago, and has been missing ever since. She had a cargo of Cotton, bound to Java first, and then to Canton ; but, unfortunately, on passing ate Island of Engarto, she struck on a reef of rocks,' about eight o'clock in the morning, and about four o'clock P. m. she stink. Two boats got on . shore, %vitt, the Captain, Ist Officer, and about 50 men, but as soon as they reached the shores the natives seized them, and plundered them of every thing, even tl►e very clothes they 144 on their backs. The two boats they broke up. " The remaining crew, nearly 50 in number, were seen on a raft, attempting to make the shor6 which they could not effect, and have never been heard of since. The Captain and chief Officers,. with about 40 Lascars, are still on the Island, at work at the °Ghee or Yam Plantations, no rice growing there. These people declare, that when. ever any of them proved to be incapable of work ing, their hands anti• feet are tied together, and large stones hung to them, after which they were thrown into the sea. " Pooloo Bartallanjong is the Malay name for Engano (or Island of Descent), which lies a little to the Southward of Bencoolen. It is the usual and fall in the North West Monsoon, when bound to the Straits of Sunda." CORN-EXCHAN.GE, OCT. 3.—We have had but few fresh Arrivals since Monday, and as buyers appear to be waiting for supplies, there was very little business doing this morning ; a few sales , made in Fine Wheat and Oats were at Monday's prices, but Ordinary was very dull ; in Pease, Beans, and other Grain, the prices are nearly no minally the same. Then. Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Of GLOUCESTER and suite arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, in his Majesty's.ship Tigris, from their excursion to Jersey, &c. They landed at Mount Edgecumbe; under a loyal salute. Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied by Colonel DALTON, Mr. CURREY, Lady ISABELLA THY NNE, Btc. who were received on a covered platform at the landing place, by Lady Eruct MOUNT EDGECUMBE. Letters received yesterday from Philadelphia state, that young WATS ON is there. He came out in the ship Venus, Capt. SCOVILL. SIR JOHN M ` MA HON.---This.Gentleman. early in life obtained a commission, and was promoted in life by a certain Nob . . man. On his return to England, he met his Commanding Officer,.who informed the young soldier he was distressed for money; bearing which, Sir JOHN requested a time to procure it ; the day being mentioned, Sir JOHN raised the money by means of his commis. sion, and when he waited on that Nobleman, he observed, that being indebted to him for his rank, the best use he could make of it was to assist his benefactor ; the Nobleman accepted the money upon the terms of securing an annuity to his young friend. Shortly alter, the Nobleman mentioned the subject to the PRINCE, who be came so much taken with such liberality, that be required to have Sir JOHN illtl'OdOCCa to birli upon that event occurring, he was received into that friendship which increased even to the hour of his lamented death. ~-' ~. t i etr c , \ll ll `T Vktk: tt a , 4 t f ui . , n 11 leg , ! )1 1 ‘ tb en , 44 4 • !ti f n ill c) Ns ucl, 7c Hr t t) 0 kJ. • th e for Itrri Citll ter{ g y m , 'llen b ti Pack tivei t ok ti gy K s s i
