quested to be allowed time to inquire tote the Ise; 'end said,
that they would he re oly to prove that these men eery de-
serters/rum Mir Britsniec )Isjesty's ship. The COVIPRI for
the Pi isumrs objected to the delay. The Chief Justice Ma-

Now it does appear, from the above statement,
that. the Chief Justice acted with the• advice and
opinion of the Secretary of State, the only member
of Government who was at Washington at the time,
and therefore the stitement, that there was every
disposition in the (government to restore the dr-
serters, but that they were liberated under the
influence of the mob, it unfounded. We are
anxious to ascertain the precise fact, as every
thing that can elucidate the disposition of di •
A ineiican government, is at the present motnent of
:•reat importance. After the .Ifrinrime landed Mr.

anchored on the Bth of September. Front that date
until the 30th, when she sailed with_Mr. Eitsaista
and suite, an intervel of seven week, she had very
little communication with the shore. The route of
affairs between this country- sad America, it was
supposed, would he taken imp by Congress some
time in the lira ►ie days of their meeting. A packet
was detained by Mr. J ACKSUN to bring over his dis-
patches.

All the observations which we ventnred to sag.
gest, on the immediate effects, as well DS on this re-
mote operation, of the tiro Treaties, lately cou-
eluded at Vienna and at Fredericksham, are fully
verified by the remarks recently published At Paris,
translated into our newspapers. In these re-
sults, WI they are denominated, we trace the Ma-
chiavelion hand of that ferocious and subtle despot,
who knows how to envenom a ith the pen the wound
which he luta inffeted with the swevid. If Founds
waisted a magic mirror, in which to behold leis own
future destiny, and the fate that ititimmds over the
Muse of Austria, he is here furnished with it..—
NAiOLZONI, though be has allowed him to retain
his imperial title, though he has signed ■ peace.
and though he has stipulated to evacuate, itt
gi►en portion of time, the territories occupied by
the French, which they are not permanently to re►
tain ; yet, in these denunciations, which are by no
means daub or oracular, announces to his vauquish-
ed enemy, that lie is only reserved for future ex-
tioetion. Such a paper, disseminated in the ca-
pital of France, before the ink with which.the late
Treaty was iiigised, is almost dry, would, in other
tinse•--unlese disavowed by the government of the
country where it was published—be regarded u an
infraetioo of the peace itself. For, wheat does Bo-
