LLY, AUGUST 14.

sint JoUN PlEns,--It was stated some days ago,
that Sir JOHN Piens had been arrested in the Isle of
Man, at the suit of Lord qj,ONCI.TRRY, under the
authority of the Duke of ATuot's warrant. Upon en,
q"uiry, we have been informed, that an application had,
been made to Lord AWIcESIIUIty; Secretary of State
for the Home Department, for a warrapt to apprehend
.Sir. outs as a felon, he not having stand, his trial far no
assault it was alledged he committed, biwritinga letter
to Lord Cwt./ cußay, to provoke him to tight a dUel,
and for whic,h offence- Sir jOl-IN had given bail, and,
forroited his recognitance ; this application Lor&
HAWKRSBURY retiised to comply with ; the Duke:
of krnot., as proprietor of. the Island, was then ap-
plkha but he declined to interfere, and referred
the matter to the Governu of the Island, who re-
fused 'lO act without the authority of Poverntuent.
We are Inforniud, from what appears pod 'autho-
rity, that an agent of Lord CLUNCURRY, who was
watching 8,4. JOHN, fearing he would escape from
the Island while these measures for his, arrest were
in progress,' had him arrested at his own snAt for
about 1.9,0ba1.: British currency, the amount of
Lord ONCUARY'd verdict, and Sir JOHN was com-
mitted to the Castle Prison, whffe he remained un-
til the sitting of the 'Court, which took. place in
About eight days afterwards, when he was liberated.
The person who had caused the arrest ettected his
escape, otherwise proceedings would have been
taken against hits fpr the false arrest.

Letters from Harwich state, that the Ship Betsey,
of I•lowcastle; DAVID MURRAY Master, and the
Specigeggr, of LendOn, JOHN BRADLEY Master,
laden with hemp, iron, and other unwrought mate-
rials, from Si. Petersburgh,bound to the Dock-yard
at Port3mouth4 were captured on the 1 6th inst. off
the Longsaud Head, by a French lug-sail Privateer
of 14 guns. Apprehensions were entertained that
some wirers had shared the same Late, as there were
many ships in company from the Baltic, bound to
the westward. A collier was captured at the same
time, flame unknown.
Colonel MACI.EOD.—This meritorious charaaer,
who so gallantly fell in the action at El Hamet, was
universally beloved and esteemed in the Army as. an
Ofticerof great spirit and talents. From his earliest
-youth he 'had, distinpished hiinself in aOive service,
in the 1.;ow Countries ; at the Cape of Good Hope,
in 1 itOd.. (whore he obtained the appointment of

ANSWER OP TUE rnus;;lAN COURT TO TILE AUSTRt.:Ti

OFFER 01' MEMATION.

"Ws Majesty the King, recognizing the motives
which induced his Apostolic Majesty to offer :his
mediation between the more distinguished of the
Powers now at war, in order, by means of his good
services, to lead to conferences concerning.peace, is
eager to testify all The gratitude be feels on this ac-
count. The King beholds this measure of the Court
of Vienna with pleasure as it respeiSts himself, con-
sidering it as the effe& of that friendship of which
the Emperor and King has given him more than ono
proof, and therefore feels this More strongly. Tfu
desire to seethe evils terminated, which have pressed
upon Europe during so many years, and his natural
moderation, would induce him to accept without
scruple the offer of his Imperial and 'loyal Majesty,
it he could convince himself that the basis whicl*
France %could consent to in a negociation would be
such as his honour alloWed him to accept. The
way and manner in which NA Po Leon has constantly;
evaded. explaining himself in this . rope& is no for-
tunate omen. Yet should his Imperial and Royia
Majesty succeed in inducing France to state such $
basis and make it known to the King, and should.
they be not altogether hostile Co the End which his
Majesty has been endeavouring to attain in common
with his Allies, his Prussian .Majesty will eagerly ac-
cept the offer which his imperial and Royal Aposto—
lic Majesty has just made.

BAL4INCE.OF POILER..

. ,
Among-.the remarkable phinnomena of French
literature which ham recently appeared, is an V,ssitY
in the hlercure de Prance, lay M. Da BentiALD, en-
titled, lie L'Eluilibreyalieigue eu Zurape. ThiS
composition is mightily praised by the Continental
critics,- for its style, 414 we shall only notice Its re-.
suits and tendency. It 114USt be in the recolleetion
of these who have read the works of the prophetic
BURKE, that he represented, fret!) the beginning,
the French, Revolution as having for its ultimate
object the establishing of the dominion of France
over all Europe; by 'disorganizing all Foreign Powers
in their. internal Governments, and by concentrate •
ing the strength of France itself into the hands
of
ea few vigorous rpen, Made more powerful ,by
belng freed from all the restraints of law and am- •
science. The fatal catastrophe of the
drama, which is just.finished, has verified 'ail the
predielions of that great man. The French anther
agrees with him in his opinion concerning the moral
character of the Revolution and its leaders, but dif-
fers most essentially from him concerning the aCtual
predominance of frapcp whiCh he considers as na-
tural and just, and impeded r4ther than promoted
by the Revolution.
According to M. Da BONALD, the theory of the
Balance of Power is an idle fietion. France has at
all times been
,the
.natural mistress of Europe.--;
" Charlemagne was the Augustus and Emperor
of
Europe, as his Grandfather bad been its Cog"
and DiCtator. " During the Crusades, France ‘9
the sword of Christendom, of .which it had 001101;4
shield under a Mayor of Paris." In the Wit
tury, indeed, the balance inclined on the Austriatl
side ; but frame becAmo then the detender efChris-
tiunity by its Magistrates and Universities; `c• and
its learned Do6t)rs appears))with .as much spice-
dour in the Councils, as formerly its warriors
in the fleld." Under ramyts NIV. she re-assumed
the sceptre, (' and chewed herself to, be trail
the Queen. of Europe, by giving it kings." Pie*
the Treaty of Westphalia, according to M. Ds 139".
NALD, with the balance there lid up, t' was i"
means of securing be preponderance, and weakening
Germany, by dividing it.into two great bodies, ba- •
tween which France 'could at all timesinterpofe,"-'
In later days, and tlirough the influence of Lk? OW
philosophy and 'the corruption of manneti,. FralAce •
lost her authority, ‘.‘ till the. irresistible will of nattl.!
restoring to herunity and independence of power, siltu
el; the same time rest:tilts her preponderance by
'fliost. decisive military successes and, the happiest 11,,r
otiations." M. DE Re Ain, of course, Pr'agn ,;:

The political dissentions which still agitate

disputes connected with religion. In the Grisons there
have been violent contentions concerning the
name of Ordo Sanctissitni tolerr

called itedemptorists).

PAyLA. The Monks now in the Grisons have wail'
dered from Hungary to Jetstettin, .in the principa-
lity of Schwartzenberg, and from thence to Babe
hausen, in Bavaria. They gained credit every Where
with the lower classes, by an expressive exterior, tqf
requiring universal confession, by unusual Ras
penance. They were lately banished out of Bavaria/
to whose Government they were become suspiniPlis!,.
and the Bavarian Government also required'het'
being expelled from a canton so near their lion;

GUSTAVUS BRUNNMAKK,
.Chaplain w. the Swedish legation at thecuurt of St. James's.

• The original pitbficition begins thus-,-
,' Ai an incOrreet 'article has been inserted in the
1-lambergh al'id-AlfOna,Papers, concerning his Roy-
al Majesty's Conference with the French General
IftwNa, at Schlatkow, on the 4th of June, 1807, it
seems now high time to put this conversation in its
,true light.
When the French General came to the King, he
began, after a pause of 'a few moments, by saying
;-4-s1 present myself here in consequence of your Ma-
jesty's command.
The King.---I have myself wished to speak to you,
General, in order to render unnecessary all further
explanation on the article added to the conclusion of
the Armistice at, Schlatkow, as I wish that every
thing should be clear and distinet, so that no rots-
- construdion can arise. My Governor General has
already, in ctinseqUence of my order, told )'nu in
his letter of the aah of May, that Ido not acknow-
ledge any other agreements except those ,estahlished.
in the Armistice itself=--arid I now repeat to you,
that that ks the oaly aat I look upon as binding,
:file Gen.—Does your Majesty permit the to
or" is ii..your Majesty's pleasure to explain
your thoughts yourself on the subjeCt ? -•-• .
The King.—No, you may speak.
Me Gen.—Your Majesty., can mention an in.
stance in whit h .1 was myself concerned, fer.l have
concluded a similar arMistice myself in Holland;with
the of York, and I had thought that the addl..
.1101,11 article now in question ought to have been us
sacred as t Arinist ice itself, w hen. founded on the
• bonoite of both the •Cornmandeescin=Chief. • , •
, - The Kihk.—Y,O, it is exgtly on the same princi-
ple that i acknowledge only die-Armistice at Schlat-
, kow. BGNAPARTE has, besides, made use of a ma-
. son, which I might also urge, when-be satdl that he_
himself commanded his army, and ordered General'
.tloterfatt, in ease the additional article should not
be acceded to, to break off the Armistice. Now,:
since I have taken the command of my artily in per-
ton; 1-might have had a sutclent reason.for putting
an end to the- Armistice, as I would, not =know-
-ledge the additional article; but I have not done it.
When General Bausiz began to speak ~about • the
ancient. alliance between Sweden and France, and
about a union between the two nations—
, 'The King answered.—Yes, certainly. I wish as
Mitch as you that this alliance might be revived
but .the French nation is no longer the same, and
those happy. times are passed, when a close alliance
contributed to the political advantage of the two
kingdoms. The present state of affairs prevents it.
272 e Geit.--,;-Your Majesty, the French Nation
is al-
ways the same. It has acquired much honour and,
power. France has Made great progress, she hits
improved her agriculture and her resonrces, and if in
Other times your. Majesty had an opportunity of
gp-
ing Ihithei., it would, perhaps, be interesting to your
• , Majesty to see and.to know that country.
71w Kirijit.-11 look upon France now as being the
'scourge of Europe. •
The Gen.—,Yes, we have been much engaged'in
warfare. The Emperor has a great charader.
The !Ping.--I do not know of any Emperor of
France.
(General Batista did not attempt 'to. ansWer this
rernark).

Tne King.l-low!'if he exists. ?' He is exiled,
unhappy; but -he is yeur lawful King, 'and his rights
i•e, unquestionably sacred, He only .wishes 'to as-
semble iris united subjects wand his standard.
The Gen.—where'
is that standard ?
• 77/1.6' 16,18%,-L.lf no 'where else, you will always
find it with
a one.
Time Gen.—A am -told' that lie has abdicated his
rights
.to the. Duke of Angotileme.
•
fang.-:-•I. have never heard that mentioned:
On the contrary, the King has issued a pi-oclama-
tion--,a pledge of his sentiments towards his people,
' to which Monsieur and all the Princes of the Blood
have given. their consent. Do you know that pro-
. .clatnat ion ?
The Go:—.-No, year Majesty (this was said,*ith
many assorances on his honour).
: The Kihg.—The Duke of Ptctslga, Mar6chal des
Camps in the service of the King, is here. It is
..possible that he has brought this publication with
Lim. I wily let him be.callefl if you wish it.
(When his Majesty; in the countenance of the
C;oneral, perceived his disquietude and. uneasiness at.
, this), he added,
" llnt, perhaps, this would cause too much ob.
ervation.) - •
The G'en,.....Yesi but if your Majesty. would send
It to me in a.cover at the outposts, I would read it
thyself, and my Officers should alto see it.
The King.--In this Proclamation the King pro-
,
'ollsei to. all military persons who wish to return to
their duty, to retain them id their rank and honours.
.D 0 you Oppose, General, • that the.present state of
affairs in Prance will last long ? . •
7'he.Gen.—Evcry thing is liable to change.,
- The Xing.---Don't you think that Providence
which hitherto has-allowed you so many succcsgspsi
.‘il) put a stop to thent, for the sake of justice and the
good cause?
The Gen.—But it May happen. that persons who
-mean well, as according. to their cunvi&ion, even
cazamst the Ceereea of Prbvideoce..
. The' Kin, —I suppose that you May still haVe 514-
tMi• Citti you, however, think that'. it will alWays
. continue so ? if yert,had the choice_ to serve your
'.awful King, or the cause you now have adopted--
what would you'do,`? Answer tne sincerely. •
• The Gen.--:-(lrCitabbitiii. his forehead) that is a
irchtion which mi eirei cc ,isidcr:tip:t.

Tht
K

ing:--;-To
the it seems that -ci ought not
to want much time to think of it: Tell me. 6:4
whether you wouldrefe.r returning to your duty, or
defending those principles which you have adopted ?`
Gen.-=-In regard to:that—Yes-,'l'Shall defe:)cl
those Kineiples, I shall do'my dutyler the pi;e;ei,t..
The King.—Da you know that7BosArilawt has
proposed to the King to treat with him ou his rights
This is the greatest preof of his a4tiowledgiog those
rights that he could give. • - • •
The. Gen.—r am ignorant about.that.-:
The King.--But do you know,that the King has
constantly refused it, and said, as FRANctS)st,
have last every thing 'except our hpnour • " •
(Gen. BRUNE rep !ated these words with warmth:)
The King.r7llstio‘it _the Kioginfimately, and he
deserves 'to be known for 'Mi great' and excellent:
qualities. You, General, you-can never' have rest;
for what will be your situation if all is changed ?
The shall then:die an bonobrabtedeath,
sword in hand. As a military map, I am exposed
to such a ,fate every moment. The question, is not
to die; but to die as one ought.
The King.-;.-But that depends upon unforeseen.
circumstances. There exists, however, a happiness;
which consists in peace of mind—the consequence of
having fUlfilled one's duties, and acted according to'
the dictates Of conscience.- BorgAkitTE can never:
have that peace of mind.. He might have made:
himself immortal if he had restored the throne to the
King. He may gain fortuitous honour, much 'cele—
brity,. and many advantages, but he can never en-
joy any peace of mind.
When the General began to speak of the talents
of BONAPItTE, and said that there was none of the
BOURBON family who was distinguiSheillor sO Many,
the King. answered, “. There occur favourable cir-
cumstances, and it needs only, to take advantage of
them."
The General seemed to admit this. .-•
The King.—The death of the Duke of,ENGHIENS.
—what "an enormity !
The Gen.-74 was at that time in Constantinople,-
and 'cannot explain it. . _ _ _

• When the 'conversation turned on the French'
Revolution, the General said : 1. belong to the Re-
VolutiOrr; and it has been brought about by the will
or the French people.
. 71w King.-4t is not the French people that have
,dade the Revolution ; it is the rabble. We now
'see plainly the consequences of these mob revolu-
tions of which you speak. This one began with
abolishing all distiudions, in order to introduce
equality, and now you yourself are a proof that
these principles are changed.
The Gen.—lf your Majesty had been in the place
of Louis XVI. the Revolution had never happened.
The King,—l will not praise myself on that head,
' as I haVe'ever- found myself in such circumstance,.
He was too good and coneiliatOry, and -has proVed
-that •those qualifications, when .misapplied,
have fatal consequences. You have yourself lA ine
,on to this subjeat. I have been candid with .you;
and my chaitaer required that I should explain
myself on the subject. It is my duty.to speak as
have done, but were I even placed in ditThrenteir-
cumstances,- my principles. would still be the, same.
Can you imagine that I should leole with indifference
upon people negletlinvtheir duty -to:.their,..lawfdl
King, when I am a King myself ? that would be to
forget what-I owe to myself.
The Gen..--Your Majesty considerilhe King-as.a
,brother. • :..• -

The King.—lt seems to me that the Wench oiight
theMselves to understand. their clinics,. .withoot
peaitig that .I should set them the egainple. '
Gen. BHUNE here returned to the subjeti about
the additional clause in the Armistice. Your Majes7
ty is thus determined .as to ,the ten days:noti'ce
'The' King.--Yes.
The Gen.—Bur should not your, Majesty wish to
agree privately, that the. Artnis'nce shall HUI cease
till after a month's notice ?
The King.—YOu do not knoW me rightly it' lirOu
'believe me capable of entering r into such an agree-
ment:: ,

The. Gen;.'-I know your Majesty's ehargier.
Such•is" the snbstance this'conivrence, during
whlchGenord BRUNE found it dillicnit to conceal
einb:trriisinctit, which, not withstanding all his
vas':ollparent in -his countenauce,nd
cotiveration.

_lt Was a, case of salvage between
the Captors,:•-whal`ere'English; and the American
Orthe American Ship •-,S'culson. The Snip
Sailed. from Baltimore as •a neutral trader; arid
.
was captured off. the coast of Spain by a French Pri-
Vateer; .and as the captors were conduaitig, their
prize to the En-einy's pat t, one of, our cruizers re-
captured. the ,American, and brought her into .an
_Etiglish.p.ort, to which Country she was originally
bound. The capiOrs contended, that they were
entitled Ail s'alVage from this neutral vessel, inasmuch;
.Bs-there-capture took place subsequent to the de
• cree• of the French Emperor, issued in November
last, against all persons, on . the Continent who
Should Carry on any commerce with England, until
the Goveinmetit of England, should- be brought ;to
their .senses, and induced to abandon their system
of,despotisn3 over the ocean, and their-Claim to the
pONCi and pra&ice of violating the laws of nations,.
&C. • This'decree was stated, on behalf ,Of the
owners, to: be a nullity, and not intended as against
certain Powers, and more especiOly as not intended
against American Ships, as the Government of
France had issued no orders for fitting out Privateers
to at under the decree.

Sir WILLIAM SCOTT laid down the law generally
and speciallynpon such cases. He said, in general,
Neutrals,•by the law of nations, were not liable
to salvage without particular 'orders or diredions
from the respedive Pewers, groundtd upon pecu-
•liar circumstances, which excepted those special
cases, of which he did (on most, mature delibera-.
tion) consider the case for judgment now before
him to be one.. The decree of the French Govern-
ment was, in words and meaning, 'such an 'unpre-
cedented decree, as must strike every man's mind
'With conviction, as an unqualified hostility against
the maritime commerce and constitution of Eng-
land. It required no explanation, nor admitted of
'any donbtful con,tru,:::tion or
,interpretation. Or-
ders had been issued to all the Maritime Prefeds•
of the' French Empire' and the Allies and States.,
under its dominion and influence, to execute the
decree, and General Armstrong had remonstrated:
with Mbnieur AndreObsO, the French Minister for
CoMmerce, and from him could obtain: no more
satisfildOry explanation or information on this sub-
ject than je pease, I think such or such should
be the -proper Consirtidion. This je pease was
not an explanation,, or an official communication

at. ail. regarded *by 'any Other Government in the

'lntended as a nullity -; it was nothing like to a bra-
Win furor n'; and as the captors in this' case hacF

Advocates alsp-argued upon the probaOility

of Council at the time ot, frdm Vigo, front
the delay which necessarily attends the sailing 4444
Lisbon packet, by. Which the knowledge of *was. to
be conveyed, the difficulty
.of communication, the
obscurity of the port of -Vigo_itself, and the short
titiie which had elapsed between issuing the OAT
and the period at whielt the ship sailed from Oat

After a reply of some length by. Dr. LAWREt4CE,
the Learned Judge, Sir WltAaatsi St OTT, observedi
that as the Order; in,question was a Matter of ex tremd
,notoriety, and 'mut tie'of great importance witlue-,
sped to,the • commercial relations of this Country
with the Continent, there could belittii doubt of
its , being. well known in almost every trading port
on the Continent, before the sailing of this ship from
:Vigo. Had she; therefore, nailed from any (;i• thd
principal commercial ports of,
,the Continent, he
should nut hesitate to say,, that she must, of nece.s.-
sity, have sailed witli full knowledge of such Order,
and consequently, in violation or it ; but Vigo being
a.veryobscure place, little known in the cominertial
world, and. the Decree of the French Government,
prohibiting the conveyance of 'any correspondence
between, this ,Kingdoin and: the Continent, reildei
the communication of such Order very difficult at
that time, he thought there was a probability that the
Captain Or 'Master of this :ship might have sailed
from Vigo in total ignorance of its' existence ; and
therefore he wished, before, he finally, decided the
cause, to have more 'evidence upon this part of the
case, and diretfed. that. the Captain should befin.--,
ther examined to it. With respell to the vessel
going to Barcelona, instead. of prosecuting her yey,
age dired to Civita Vecchia, he did net think that
that altered the case at all ;. for whether shv wont
to the one port or the Other,. he should consider 'her
equally Within the operation of the Order 'di Coun.
cil of the'7th of January last.
Judgment deferred.
