3 Frtm the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS.

Rims, SEPT.. 9.—The refusal
.of the Emperor
ALE3CANDER, to ratify the Treaty ofJ2eace already
concluded between France and 'Russia, has not as-
yet been followed by the rupture of the Negotia-
tions between the French and .English Plenipoten-
tiaries, though certainly, according to all appearance,
they leave but slight. hopes of Peace. In the mean
time, as the signature of Peace with',RUssia was
folkiwed by-preparations on the• part of the French
for the evacuation of , Germany, so the unexpeaed
determitiatio.n -on the part of the Court of St. Peters-
burgh, which rejeaed a Treaty which had,been.ac-..
tinily signed, has immediately detemined the I.rn-
peror NAPOLEON to cotntermand the orders for
the return of his Army to France, where' some of
it was already ,arrived,. and the whole would have.
been ',soon colleEted. The Camp of Meudcip; in
whiCh• the troops first returned were assembled,.
and which in a tew days would not have been suf-
ficient to - contain the number of troops expe&ed,
is about to break up ; and we are assured that or-
ders have been transmitted to Marshal Prince BER-
THIgR, Minister of War, and Major-I General of
the Grand Army, to stop the return of the Army,
which was either commenced, or on the point of

beginning.
If the presence of the troops stationed shall be
ne-
ce9sary in-Germany or elsewhere, ttiey will soon be
at their posts. Europe well knows how short, a
time is required for French troops to transport them-
selves wherever glory is to be sought.
Prince Js-aOI‘IE:I39APAT-E arrived on Sunday at
St. Cloud, after his long cruize. His Majesty im-
mediately presented him with. the Great Ribbon of
the Legion of Honour. From the 1 ath of December
to the 26th of August.this Prince continually kept
the sea in the midst' f hostile Squadrons, supporting
in ,every quarter the liOnour of the French Flag, and
doing irreparable mischief to the English commerce.
in tracing. the history of his voyage, as it is, detailed
in_ the English Papers, we see him, on his first
putting to sea, compel the Convoy 'destined -for the
East Indies and America to return. to the Irish Ports;
frorn'thence he went to St. Helena, in, which remote
cruize he destroyed several Enemy's Vessels. , The
Squadron afterwards put into St. Salvador, the-ca-
pital of the Brazils:to procure fresh provisions for
the few sick- they had on board... It afterwards
coasted along South America, and destroyed several
English Privateers ;- and, on a sudden, appeared in
the West Indies, throwing the Trade and Colonies
of the Enemy into consternation; and obliging Ad-
miral COCHRANE to take, shelter in Barbadoes.—
After it quitted Martinique, it went to, St. Domingo,
where it repressed the scandalous traffic of some
--American adventurers, who trade with. the rebel
Negroes. It appears that in pursuing them to the
Northward, the Sqnadron encountered a gale of
wind; which separated the ;Veteran from. the other
Ships. The Prince then steered for the coast Of
France, and after having chased several other Vessels,
Ile destroyed above half -the Quebec Convoy, and
put 4o flight the Frigates which accompanied it. The,
lOssot- this' Convoy .creates the most painful sensa-
tioirin -England, because it was freighted with tim-
ber-Pr the Navy, which was much wanted. At last
the Veteran entered a French Port, .without the
Eng-
'lish GoVernment -being able, notwithstanding they
had covered the seas with superior Squadrons, under
'the orders of DUCKWORTH, LOUIS,. COCHRANE,
STFLACHAN, and WARREN, to prevent the French
division from fulfilling any one of its missions.
Letters from L'Orient mention, that Prince JeßomE,
during this long crnize; wished to partake the fa-
tignes -of it like any other' Officer ; and that the
only time when Admiral DUCKWORTH, with a su-
.perior force, was near enough to render air engage-
ment probable, the Prince entreated Admiral VIL7
I.EAUMEZ to be allowed the honour of leading the
Squadron into a&ion. The crews, animated by his
example, manifested the greatest impatience to en,
gage; and every thing leads us to hope'the result of
it would have been glorious for the French Navy, if
the wind had not separated the two Squadrons, and
given Admiral VtiA.EAmsaezan opportunity of pur-
suing his destination.

HAGUE, SEPT. 10.—A company of Dutch Sappers,
quartered at,present at. Bergen-op-Zooni, are-ander
orders to go to the camp at Zeist, and put it in a
state to be again Occupied.
NAPLES, AUG. 15.—The Royal' Decree for the
establishment of four Tribunals, for the trial of per-
sons charged with taking part with the rebels, en-
. a6ts a variety of Regulations for the purpose of
conducting there trials in a summary manner.—
The sentences of the Tribunals are to be executed
within twenty-four hours •afterthey are passed. In
cases-where the accused shall
.ba-declared innocent,
the accusers,, denouncers,' and witnesses,. who shall
be conviaed of perjury and calumny, shall be con-
demned to the same punishment which the accused
would have been subjed to if he liad been found
guilty.
NAPLES, Aug. I.—The Brigands who at Lago-
, negr.o could not bear the sight of the -French, hay-
iog Joined the. Rebels of Lauria, Marshal MassENt
repaired thither, thinking they would implore his
clemency ; but daring to resist, and their- place of
retreat being taken by assault, Lauria was given up
flames.

. NAPLES, Ave. 2.—Yesterday, after the com-
munication between'this'City-and Calabria had been
long interrupted, the usual 'post arrived here for the
first time; an indelible -proof than tranquillity is
perfedly restored in that .quarter. In -the mean
while, every thing.shews the extreme danger that
. attended the insurre6tion, and this was only held in
check by the vigilance, and bravery of the French,
assisted by the well,disposed part of the inhabitants.
The French Army had sc6rcely re-entered Calabria
when a new insurreaion broke out between that
place and this City. The insuraents ravaged Sar-
coni, Viggiano, Montemurro, Spinosa, Trainutola,
and •Corletto ; having chosen Sarconi for theit
' point of union. Five hundred French being dis-
' patched with all speed from•Lagonegro, were joined
- by an equal number of the well,disposed inhabit-
ants.—they ants—they marched to Sarconi, where, as usual,
