It is with increasing astonishment that we daily
see the long articles which fill the English journals'
and the Speeches of the Members of Parlianienty on
' the departure of the Squadron from Brest. It '9
difficult tti.conceille how, while w.e are at peace, 3,9
Expedition sent out to St. Domingo, to reestablish
peace there, should give any uneasiness tojanonce.
These discourses ate more suitable to the .fealousies
of the Tartars of Thibet, than the sentiments °f
civilized Europeans. For the honour of thecivili-
zation of our age, let us not make. ourselves more
barbarous and more foolish than;:we fad are.
.These puerile discussions, whichi.onlY tend to
dis-
cover the bad faith of those who provoke them, are
very opposite to the orders given at Brest On the
signing of theTreliminaries: the Prefect, upon d'
manding instruCtions how to as with regard to tit°
Squadron of AdmiralCo WAL.Li S, which had be'l
forced into Brest by stress of weather, was a"-
swered, not only to allow it to enter the harbour/
hut also to take no extraordinary precautions ; far
that it was the greatest injustice That could 13"
ofrCred to civilized Europeans, to suspett them ever
capable of a colic:lila which Honour and the Rights
of Nations had, left without an example.

VIENNA, J4!%t. 17.—1 t appears, after the must
accurate investigations, that the PActIA of BO`
GRADE had occasioned his own death by attemptil
to, form a party to oppose to the Janissaries, an
by endeavouring to shut them up in the Citadel on
particular festivarday,*hen they tsetse usually

siderate reliance-on the assistance of his Son, .w11(7

But that succour, never arrived ; the projea of the

SCHAFFHAUSENi J. Z.1.--For these ten months
there have been no French. Troops ''in our' Canton'
but this week Citizen VAILLANT arrived here
orders from General MONTR.lOiAtto,' anrituncing
the speedy arrival of Troops, to Occupy (his can",!:i
and City. This event, at a moment when the
complete evacuation of Helvetia, by the French
Troops was talked of, has excited sonie sensation:
It seems -to be thought to Canton Frenct Troops
through all Helvetia, to maintain 'the -public tOl;
quillity, while the fate of that country approsti
its denouement. Some peopic assure us, that t.
measure has been concerted between the F'renchlW
litary Authorities and our GovernMent,- in consc;
quence of a plan to arm. the fithabitants of rtT
smaller Cantons, which did not' meet the.appr°l/5
tion of tho French General, and in place of wi`hc
he engaged to have his Troops in readiness to Or
press any codmotions which may be excited by
establishment of the new order of things.

my LORD)

I arrived in this port yesterday evening, having
quitted my station on Tuesday last for the purpose
of landing some prisoners of war which we took in
a Spanish Privateer Schooner on the night of the 13th
last. We had chased her the whole of the afternoon,
close in with the Cuba shore, till dark, when she
took shelter within the Portillo Reefs: I imme-
' diately sent Lieutenant Pasley with the yawl and
totter, Mr. M'Cloud, Midshipman, and sixteen
Men in each.
About half past ten Mr. Pasley found her at an.
chOr in the place he expeaed ; she was waiting the
C attack in readiness, which she commenced by a dis_
charge from one nine and two four pounders, w
severely wounded several in each boat. hich
Notwithstanding, they boarded, and after a short
but severe contest, they carried her. She proved
the Esperauce, from St. Jago, which port she left
On the ISth, of August, and since that time had
taken the Eliza sloop-and Betsey brig belonging to
Kingston.
She Was commanded by Joseph Caltie ;
and from the best accounts I have been able to col_
left since, she had on board, when the ;talon Com-
! It enced, forty.five men, twenty-one of whom were
killed, and six Wounded. The Captain and all the
Officers were amongst the former.
JoOn our part we have to lament the loss ofohn
nes, coxswain of the cutterJ
t , who was kd earl ledihun e anion,
Mr. M'Clouti and twelveill e
seameny
tvded.
. I have been able to land the Prisoners under the
Security of the garrison, having promised to take
them again on I 1
hug On Iny Way to Port Royal.
And I am much indebted to the Commanding Offi-
cer, Major Codj of the 6oth, who has had the good-
ness to receiVe, under the care of their surgeon,
;At. MiCloud and four others, who are thought to
e
ilble the most dangerously wounded ; I shall sail Im-
di
ttatitinatelyi and lose not a moment to regain my
