AMERICAN PA PERi.

We have tcceivett New York Papers tis June 4.
It appears that a great inundation has taken place
At New Orleans, by a breach in the level six miles
above the city, and that to stop it the sloop of
war Louisiana was to be sunk, and supported by
large piles ; considerable injury %vas expected, as
Weil front the ravages of the waters, as the epl*
slet►lics which would follow the deposits of mud.
Mr. GALLATIN was to leave the United States
as Ambassador to France, in the Peacock.

Gen. LALLEMAND arrived at Philadelphia on the
19th ;May.

The first 74-gun ship, called the Washington,
belonging to the United Statei, is finished, and
brought up to Annapolis, where she has been vi-

We yesterday hid the Speech of Cie PRINCE
aces.is-r on proroguing Parliament before the
Public its the whole of our Impression, which we
delayed a little beyond the "'omit hour of politica-
tion for that purpbse ; and to-day we present the
Address of the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons, which may dho well be considered as an
official and admirable exposition of the State of
the Country.
On, the subject of our Foreign Relations, the
assurances in the Speech from the Throne are of
the most satisfying description. Would we could
say the same of what refers to our condition at
Home; but here, alas ! we have only hopes, and
not assurances. Fondly do we encourage the ex-
pectation that -the patience and sound under-
standing of the British Nation: will co-operate
in realizing the anticipated period when the
pressure of these times will have ceased, and
a new, and happier order of things will have
aprunk tip ; .but, in the interim, we cannot shut
our eyis to the actual distress and threatening
aspect of the present hour. if our feelings in this
respect are gloomy, it is because we can see no
innuediate remedy for the evil, which are so op.
pressive.-- which prey upon us while we struggle with
an acute and mortal disorder, and for the removal
of which we have it only in our power to apply
medicaments which promise relief hereafter. The
truth, as it appears to us, is, that this is a case,
the remedy of which is not in, the hands of Go.-
iernment Government may attempt to soften
the most grievous afflictions, hilt the only radi-
cal cure must be perforated by the them-
selves. The course is not easy,. but it is certain
and half the resolution and perseverance which
has sustained us sogloriously through a desperate
war, wilt carry us triumphantly through the in:-
conveniences and troubles of inchoate Peace, till
ell the blessings which its endurance must bring
are fully realized. The people must therefore look
to their own virtues, individually and collective-
ly, for safety in this crisis. The good citizen
must practise economy instead of preaching
it to Ooeernment, as it any retrenchment
in the public expenditure could work a mi.
rack in releasing us from our burthens and diffi.
culties. This will give us the most valuable of all
enjoyments, " Pence at home ;" and it is to be
trusted that our Foreign Commerce will become
More active and beneficial as the chaos into which
Europe has-been thrown gradually returns to form
and order. At present, national suffering is an

SUCHET.

This m :n is said CO have been originally a jour-
neyntan hairdreiser, reised from the ranks for his'
extraordinary ferocity.
Suebet,. in his dispatch of the '2dtb of Jo*,
1811, threatened, that if the garrison of Tarra-
gona held out longer he would give u terrible etc-
ample; and intimidate fon ever Cetalooia and all
Spain, by the destruction of the whose city. On .
the 28th he ordered the assault, which, unfortu.;
'timely, was but too successful. His dispatch of-
the 29th states the result,: " Four thousand
tnen," he says, were killed in the city ; ten or
twelve thousand attempted to escape over the
Walls into the country, of whom thousand were
seined or drowned ; and nearly.ten thoihand were
taken prisoners. He observes, that " this ter-
rible' example will long resound throughout
Spain." The dispatch, containing these ferocious
and sanguinary boasts 'VHS published in the 'Mo.
titcur of the 9:11 of July following ; and in the
very next number of that paper ;appeared a decree
of Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of
Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine,
Mediator of the Helvetic Confederatitin, &c. &c.
&c. creating .Sachet a Marshal of the Empire, as
pr'oof of satisfaction for his services in the cap.!
OrpOf Tarragona 1 The day after the capture of
the place, Suchet caused the wonnded Governor,
Dun Juan'de Contreras, to be brought before hint
Ott a litter; and in presence of the French and
Spanish Officers insulted over hint in this painful
state, telling him, " that he (Contreras) was the
cause .of all the.horrors committed in Tarragona
by the French troops,beeause he had prolonged the:.
defence of the place beyond what was considered
necessary by the, laws of war; that by those 14W5
Contreras ought to be shot,' for not having capi...
tulated as soon as a breach became practicable ;
and that lie (Suchet) had alight to putaevery, one
to the sword, tiod tilfrti every thing in 'the town
to the ground," The raising a bin barian who
could thus act and thus speak, to an honourable
court and in the Royal French armies, is surety
un insult to every Gentleman and man of true
honour that -they contain. It is an insult to all'
'Europe, and .especialiy to' Spain. Sucher is en
absolute idolater of his &toady prototype, Boons-
parte. Nit-Ith the latter ,wits-..in,Elha, Sueliet
Opeating of him to an, English Lady) said, I
look upon him as a supernatural being ; anti if I.
were to see hint, I should he ready to WI down
and worship him. Scarcely had Buonaparte reach-
fed Paris on his rebellious enterprise last year,
when Suchet, who 'commanded fur the King at
Strasburg, issued a traitorous proclamation on
the 231 of March, declaring:, the cause of the
-Reba (whom be designated the I4.:auperor) to be
that of the 'nation, and calling on the people of
Mace to yield to the wishes of their hearts in
be, hoisting the three-coloured cockude, which
called the rallying signal of every good French-
-3.1)41). ltven before this, his inclinations were
n"ide known to nuonapartel.for they were pub-
lisbed in the Illonacur amont,the Paris news of
the 24th of Mareb.

Four state carriages and six, in which, Were the
Attendants acid Chief Officers: of the Prince Re-
gent's Household, preceded his Royal Highness's
state.coach, which was drawn by eight errant-
coloured bovses, and followed by a numerous de-
tachment of ,Ilorse-guards. Parties of the same
corps lined Parliament-street for the purpose of
preserving order.. „
A "great concourse of people were collected, at
usual, in the Park, at the Horse Guards, White-
hall, &C. who received dm .Prince with frequent
IIIiZZOS as he .passed to the House of Peers and on
his return. His Royal Higintess.enteredthe House
at three minutes before two o'clock, *filch etas
announced by a dischage of cannon from the &tut!.
beth shore, and by a signal flag at the top of
the House of Lords. The Prince remained in the
House 35 minutes ; his departure was announced
by a seniilar signal to his entrance. His Royal
Highness, was attended back to the Palace, in
addition to, lice attendants who went with him,
by the Lord Steward
,and the Marquis of WlN-
cnEsTett. 'kheciroom of the Stole also attended
to receive the Prince) as senior Marquis, -and
carry the cap of liberty.. The procession returned
to the Palace at five nunittes before three o'clock.

The PRINCE REGENT and the Doke of WEL-
LINGTON both wore Field Marshals' oniforms yes-
terday, and were both covered with the decora-
tions of their several orders.

Prince LEOPOLD was among the strangers of
distinction who witnessed the splendid ceremony
of the Prorogation of Parlia►nent. The Prince
wore the Windsor uniform : he conversed in the."
House with the DUltell of KVNT and Sussex.-.;
Most of the Foreign Ministers were also present.
The Ladies, yesterday, the House of Lords,
wore wreaths of flowers in the hail, with feathers
and diamonds.

The Duke
.of NVELLINGTON passed through
great part of the crowd in St. James's -Park, yes-
terday, without being recognized by the populace.
Near the Horse Guards, he was, however, dis-
covered, and, as soon as his name was shouted, a
most Cordial and long-continued liuzza was given.
Those, who were near the carriage, thrust their
hands, sonic into it, others, who could . reach no
further, placed theirs upon the tlnor. They called
opt} the Duke to shake haints with lhent.; and
he itindlY grasped as many us he could, while they
ran by the side of • the carriage. On retro ping,
his coachman drove taster; but the cro \vd, which
was waiting for him, chased him along the whole
drive 'of the Park. At the Stable-yard gate they
came up with him, and 'revenged themselves for
their fatigue. They stopped the carriage, opened
both the doors, had a grand interview with him,
seized his hands, threw themselves upon his knees,
and,seemed iuelitted at first, to take him out of the
carriage, afterwards to loosen the horses, and
draw Itimu iu it. His Grace went through the
whole scene with great goud humour.

PRovISIoNA.—The inhabitants of the Meti•opo-
lis are very ill used in regard to the rate of charges
for the necessaries of lite. Althon.gh every thing
is stn cheap in the country, it all either- maintains
its' original price in London, or. has a very
small comparative reduction. Bread, meat, beer,
buster, cheese, bacon, milk (the latter in par-
ticular' keeps its original.,high pr:ce), ought to
be reduced nearly one-third ; while at the west
end of the town we pay I Id., priMe roasting
beet is sold in Leadenhall market at Gd. House-
keepers should particularly examine their weekly
bills fur !pater, cheese, bacon, &c. It is
not uncommon for the trader to make a difference
in his charge, for butter especially, of one quar-
ter, between the housekeeper who does, and the
housekeeper who does not; attend personally to

CURIOUS IssroaT:mobt..---Last week, a caravan
loaded with 25 couple of foxes, imported from

for these useful animals, they being run goods.

the Company employetl in the Opera, joined most
heartily by the Princess cakttLOTTE and all the'

Opera of 'the Siege of Belgrade,- which was re•
lisped with great success, a new Operatta (as it
was Caned in, the bills) was HMO for the first
time, under the title of Is he Jealous?
Thu Thu business of this. trifle arises out of the anxiety of a fa-
shionable Lady to awake the affections of a philosophical bus-
hand, by maliim..; jealous. The return of her .sister from
the Continent, a high-spirited widow, assists the plan she
has formed, and the sprightly Harria, aceOutred asst beau,
makes love to tier sister before her husband's face, who, of
emirs!, forours the joke till the latter hecomes alarmed, and,
Ana surprising them, in the Lady's* lioss,l!)ir, doperate, The
supposed paramour escapes for the moment, but presently re-
turns in a female dress to laugh at tier brother-in-law, and to
dissipate his uneasiness. .
:this piece was received thoughout wjttt the ap
plause it merited, for it is a lively, whimsical;
anti amusing production. The situations are, it
nosy well he supposed, snfaieutly comic, and ti
broad field is openeil' for equivoque, of which the

without overstepping ' the limits of becoming
