A N•w Orleans Paper, of the 30. h r f July, says.
the Concl,aite Indians, who are 'vied on the Sa-
bine river, have lately killed two Americans, near
Natchitoches. and threatel to commit fureier hos.
tihty. The Conchattors alike with the other tribes
west of the blis•isaippi, pay great attention to the
opinions and advice of the Caddo", whose Chief is
said to be tl.e most indoential Indian no this aide
the river Grande. Th. Governor of this territory
has sent Addresses to the Conchattos and to the
Caddo' Chief.

Aviiing the depredations and outrages committed
eu American commerce by the Belligerents. the fol.
bowing deserves a place in our attention:
The American ship 'crayon/. Lyman, owned by
M ..1. and K. Lyman, of New-York. bound
from that port to Leghorn, was captured, in the be-
ginning of March last, in sight of her port of desti-
nation, and earrir,d into Porto Ferrajo, in the 1 Jand
of Elha, by a French privateer. The consignees
Ifilete se immediate application to the Court of Bra.
which granted the requisite p►rmission for olorain4ig
the liberation of the said vessel, under a guarantee,
with which the Marine Agent refused to cotnply,
uwil bard soccived iitiLturflioas on the sW•jee
from the l'refed at Goulou. Every measure was
taken by the concerned to hasten the reply, btu to no
purrs,: none could be obtained. Thus eircum-

stanced, the consignees made another application to
the Court of in.., and ohtaiord it special sandlion
and authority to hring the cargo to market (pail of
it being perishable) under such guar:vivre as the
captors ►hould require. notorious injustice of
the capture of tire said vessel, indaced the French
Consul to interpose his influence, and the French
merchants, resident at Leghorn, offered their secu-
rity and guarantee (which the laws of France re-
quire to be French in inch caws) in order to obta7n
the release of it to and cargo. All was of no avail,
however. The Marine Agent peremptorily persisted
in his refusal to accept of any security or guarantee
whatever t and intimated, that the original paper of
the ship and cargo were transmitted to Paris for the
inspeOion of the Tribunal des PliZrl, who,e report
alone should groiern him. This report had not ar-
rived at rutio lerrAjo in June last, and very pro-
'icily may not do so for months to • come. In the
icie.an time this valuable ship and cargo remon
the most unwarrantable and infamaus deten•
Lion. In mst cases of the kind, by the British,
where setisfaiiiiry seen:intim ship and pro:ccds of
carp have been offered to the captives or Court of
Admitaity, permission has been granted to proceed
to market. This detention is therefore Intended
with peculiar aggravation; not singutar, however,

LONDON,
SATURDAY, Ocrosta SI.

The following is an eztraa of a letter from Me-
mel, received by a respeaable house s—tt English
hips besort, prohibited from entering our ports,
and neutrals only permitted, few opportunities
occur of writing to you Our Court is still here.
the French have such a strong attachment to Prus-
sia, that they have no inclination to le.tve it. By
the Articles of the Peace they were to cross the
Passarge on the 20th of August; but they still
occupy that neighbourhood, under the pretence
that the boundaries of I)antzic were not rei;u•
laced ; for two liens were stipulated. and now
L insists on two German miles. Prussia
is not in a state to defend herstif. and must submit
to the ma:idates of the two Imperial Courts.—
The contributions are very heavy cm Koninyisberg,
which is desirous that Memel should pay the half ;
but there is no reason why two inhabitants
should pay an equal sum with 60,000 The Loan
is at S per cent. The fluz is very foal ; no less
than three hundred died lAA week in Koningsberg ;
and at Wormditt, not far trom the Passarge, not
less than 600 are dead of the same disease—the
whole of the inhabitants were not more than 1000.
A dreadful distemper rages amongst the horned
cattle. In 'hilsit, out of eleven hundred cows, the
town had only ten remain. Thank Heaven the
cattle here are healthy ; and we have not suffered
so moth from sickness as they have done in the
neight,curing provinces."

Admiral Gauatca, with the last division of the
fleet, and a large fleet of transports, amounting to
allow 200 sail, with 10,000 troops on board, arrived
on Thursday evening, at Yarmiuth. It thus ap-
pears, that every preparation was made to leave
Copenhagen within the time specified in the Ccn-
vention, and that the Island of Zealand was corn.
pletely evacuated on the 21st instant, although the
CROWN PRINCR refused to ratify the Articles.—
From this punCluality on our part, it would seem
that Gcvernment still had hopes of being stde to
conciliate the CROWN PRINCE, although every over-
ture for that purpose has proved ineffeEtual. As
we stated, yesterday, none of our troops will remain
in Sweden, as was originally intended. A few
thousand men there could be of little use, and such
a mea.ure might tend to implicate Sweden with
Dinnuak. The weather beit.g adve►s-, Vice Ad-
miral Sr aßnora's squadron had not proceeded on
Thursday evening further than the Downs, but it
has pr,.bahly reached Portsmouth before this time.
Several transports are now unloading :heir stmt.!' at
the King's Yards, in the River. Among the ves.
eels arrived in the Downs are the Fylte, Danish prize
ship, of 24 guns; and the Londaa transport, No.
136, the latter having part of the King's German Le-
gion on board. The recruiting for the Legion has
proved •ery successful, and it will return more
numerous than when it left England. His Mn.
Jur v's hospital ship bultrukswesers, Captain Has-
, cutrr, and Dr. Jamisotc, Physician of the Fleet,
Iwith the sick and wounded on board, who are se-
potted very few, as the Fleet preserved an excellent
state of health.

Louts the XVIIIth, King of France, his nephew,
the Duke of A tanouLtme, and suite, arrived, on
Thursday, at Yarmouth, in the Swedish frigate
Freya. Everything was in readiness far their
d:parture, from Guttenburgh, on the Gth, bat the
boisterous state of the weather induced them to
remain there until the 21st. Englishmen must
feel no little pride in this new demonstration of the
strength, spirit, and generosity of their country.—
The Autocrat of all the Russias, the powerful Essex-
anis or r s NON Tn,is no longer able to rote& these
two Illustrious Exiles. Tied as he is by the treaty
of T.lsit to the chariot wheels of BONAPARTE, his
widely-extended realms contain not a spot which he
could afford to offer them fer an asylum, or which.
if offered, their delicacy would allow them to accept.
It is only in England, little England, they
can find themselves safe and secure tram the un-
relenting malice of ' the sanguinary Usurper of
their krone and what is still more important to
their high and honourable minds, where there is
nothing to alum their delicacy, or offend their
pride. In England Of power and the will unite to
make it the refuge of the unfortunate. It may be
truly said, that, if justice were to be banished from
the earth. England is the last spot Item which she
would take her fight. We have not learned the
extent of the cstabLshment intended for these Illus-
trious Visitors; but it will, no doubt, be worthy of
their rank, and :limbic to their situation, under all
the circumstances of the case. In coming here, the
King of F pays to England the highest com-
pliment that could be ;said to a nati•n. He comes
here toll of confidence, that under her pret:flian

r~ 1_

he is secure from theforee and fraud of the Usurper, '
and that neither his person nor his interest will ever
be sacrititxd to a selfish and eliigraceful policy. He
comes not here because he has no other resource.
Weielhe to sink from the dignity which becomes his
rank and pretensions, and to surrender his right to the
Throne of his Fathers, he, too, might possess terri-
tories and principalities, and rank among the vassal
Kings of Boni AAAA C'S creation. A Treasury Jour-
nal, of last night, in its observations upon this sul,jva,
says, " We wish Ministers had sent down some distin-
guished Nobleman to have received His NIA,' Eirr ri
and that the honours due to Royalty had been
paid him upon his arrival. There is something
in the manner in which we have behaved to the
Illtiorious Family of the Bouasoes, not quite satis-
!aflory to our feelngs. We have afforded them an
asylum and an establishment; but we seem to have
dame it in too measured a manner ; we seem Always
to have aced as if we would avoid giving offence to
the Usurper of their 'throne. Our proteaion of them
has ba4 a degree of prudence, and our generosity a
principle of caution io it, which ill accord wi.h the
noble frankness of the British character. —We
would have ha., the members of the family received
at Court ; we would have the fallen Majesty of
Loos XVIII. cheered and consoled by the gra.
cious regards of our gond and patriot K
What are we to pay honours and homage to
Royalty only when it is possessed of power? Are
we to let a people see that the moment they rebel
against a lawful Sovereign, and suffer an upstart
to usurp his Throne, England is ready to with-
draw from that Sovereign all homage, and comider-
ation, and deference, and bestow them upon the
Usurper I"
The public will be surprised to find some part of
the sentiments which we have quoted, in a Treasury
Journal. Their surprise will, however, vanish,
when we assure them, that it is reckoned good policy
to suffer the most servile and venal prints, to find
fault with their employers in minor matters. This
affedation of a will of their own, tends to help their
charaear, and give them an air of independence.
Besides, we know it was a custom among the
makers in Rome to allow their slaves a Safarnslat
during which they indulged their own Ira-
moors, uncontrouled by their owners. In this
light, we must consider some of the above
observations in the Treasury Journal. It was more
probable that the King of FRANCS would have
landed at Leith than at Yarmouth. lie was fifteen
days detained at Gottenburgh, and it was impossi-
ble for Ministers to know when or where His Ma.
dist v would land in England. liow then could
Ministers have a nobleman of distinEtion to meet him
on the shore the moment he set his foot on land ? As
to his not being received at Court with regal honours,
and all that, surely it is premature to complain, be•
fore His MAJLsTY has arrived in London. For our
own part, we think, that, to pity the unfortunate
Boum SONS, would be an insult ; and, to receive them
with all the pomp and pageantry of power, would
be to mock their fallen state. A safe and comfort-
able asylum, and the esteem and tion of
the People, we are confident, are all the BOURBONS
want or wish in England.

It is said that another Expedition is preparing,
which is to be conunawied by Sir Sinner Sums.
A number of transports have been taken up by
Government within these two or three days. Sir
&WILY SMITH'S frequent interview with the
Board of Admiralty, constitute, we believe, the prin-
cipal foundation of th;s rumour.

On Thotsday afternoon, soon after two o'clock,
Colonel M•Uoaa co arrived in a chaise and four at
the Foreign Office, horn Copenhagen. A Meeting
of Ministers was called in consequence. with all pos-
sible speed, and about halt past three, tl.e Duke of
POKTLAND. Earl BATIJKST. Lord Casrxertersori,
Mr. PIIICIVAL • and Mr. CAIOBIIIO, attended, be-
ing all the Ministers who were in town. They con.
tinued their deliberations till half past six ; the re-
stilt of which, with the dispatches brought by the
Mess•nger, were lent off to His Maisnif.
Accounts have been received from our squa-
dron off Rochefort. They mention that 7000
French troops marched through Ferrol, on the 10th,
towards Portng4l. 'Phis does not agree with the
intelligence which has been received through other
channels.

Letters have beset received from St. Petetsburgh.
dated 041. new stile, which state, that the na-
tive merchants of that city, in fear of a rupture with
England, by which their interests would have been
affefted, dispatched a deputation from their Body to
the Minister of Commerce, who, in reply to their
inquiries, stated, that the sudJeit sailing of our
merchantmen from the Russian putts was tint
owing to any hostile steps being taken by that Go-
vernment, which, although it had received many
provocations from England, he still assured the
deputation was amicably disposed to this country.
‘Vh it is ultimately to become of the Danish
stores, semi yet a matter of doubt. The captors
are understood to entertain an opinion that
they will be immediately purchased fur the uw
of Government; and tne produce distributed among
them, while others think that these stores, with the
l).nish men of war and merchantmen captured
since the commencement of hostilities. sill be ,e-
-served, for the pori:ose of hems restored to the
Danish Government. in case it should secede to an
amicable doljobtmerst.
