FRINCti CLaista.--France, by her late claims on
.the.United,States,:is disposed to:witiulterself of the
provisions of the Louisiana Treaty, •made with the
late existing Government or that iotintit;' •Thin is
acting on a correct national principle, that every act
done by an existing Government is, under every
change of circumstances still a national act. On
this ground ought the Government of the United
States to stand, and demand of France compensation
for all our property illegally captured, almost with-
out pretence of right, and condemned. Great Britain
has acted on this principle with France; and has de-
manded and received, in an ample manner, compen-
sation for all their illegal confiscations, as the follow-
ing will shesv :
" Paris, May 30,1814.—Confirmed Nov. 20, 1815.
" Article 2. The British and French Governments shall name
without delay Commissioners to liquidate, &c.—The Commis-
sioners mentioned in Article 2, shall undertake the examination
of the claims of his Britannic Majesty's subjects ups the French
Government, for the value of the property, moveable or Im-
moveable, illegally confiscated by the French Authorities.—
France engages to ratify the Report of the Commissioners, and
to discharge the sums due.
"• Art. 6. The vessels, ships, cargoes, and other moveable pro-
perty, which shall have been seized and confiscated either to the
profit of France, or to the profit of his Most Christian Majesty,
in conformity to the laws of war, shall not be admitted to the
liquidation.—Done at Paris, Nov. 20, 1815.

GENERAI. D'Everraux.—A Caraccas Paper of the
22d November contains an account of the honour-
able acquittal of General D'Evereux, who had been
tried before the Supreme Court of the Republic for
having written a letter to the late Vice-fiesideut,
Antonio Narino, which letter was supposed to con-
tain a challenge. The facts were briefly these :—Mrs.
English having various claims on the Government
in right of her deceased husband, Brigadier-General
English, who died in the service, applied to the Vice-
President, Nat ino, who not only refused to acknow-
ledge her claims, but used personally to Mrs. English
very gross language. General D'Evereux, with that
spirit which always distinguished him, espoused the
cause of this unfortunate Lady, and remonstrated
with Narino. In the course of the controversy, the
challenge complained of was given, and General
Invereux was put under arrest by Marino. This
detained General D'Evereux for some weeks from
the army : however, on an inquiry into all the facts,
the Congress approved highly of the course pursued
by the General, admitted the justice of the claims
made by Mrs. English, and dismissed Narino from
his office of Vice-Pre,ident. He, notwithstanding,
eersevei el in his prosecution of General D'Evereux
before the Supreme Court, and the result has been
his honourable acquittal. In the whole of this trans-
action, the Pi esident, the illustrious Bolivar, the Con-
..;ress, and all the Authorities of the Republic, were
.iistinguished fur liberality, a high sense of honour
and justice, as well as for the great estimation in
which they held the services and virtues of General
D'Evertux.

The New York Papers contain the Annual Report
of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States,
on the Public Finances. It appears from this docu-
ment, which is of considerable krigth, that the Re-
venue of the Year just ended, may be estimated at
1ni,110,000 dollars, of which sum the Customs pro
duced, alone,l4 millions. In the year 1818. the Cus-
toms amounted to ne +Hy £2 millions; the next year
to above 17 millions ; whereas, in the year 1820, the
whole receipt, including Customs, public lands, dtc
amounted only to 15,284,5 W dollars. The greatest
state of depression which the Customs had reached.
was in the first Quarter of last Year, when they were
727,000 dollars less than in the con esponding Quarter
of the year 1820. But an improvement of more than
a million took place in the second and third Quarters.
The w!iole estimated expenditure of the American
Government, for the year 1822 now commencing, is
I,ns than 15,000,000 of dollars ; or considerably less
than £3,50J,000 stei ling. This corers the charges of
the Civil List, the Army, the Navy, and tha interest
of the debt ; and constitutes about one-eighteenth
part of the annual outlay of the English Government,
under the same heads !

When ANTALCIDAS, the Spartan, was about to'
enter the Priesthood, he was asked what action
worthy of renown he had performed during his life ?
He replied, " If I have performed any, the Gods
themselves are acquainted with it." Were a similar
ques:ion to be put to Mr. Alderman JAMES, of Dub-
lin, and some of the Gentlemen who have been re•
cently honoured with titles of Nobility, their answer
....cold be, perhaos, the same; for if they have per-
formed any'services to entitle them to such distinc-
tion, the Gods may tie acquainted with them :
but they are certainly unknown to " mortal ken."--
As to the elevation of the Mrrrquis of BUCKINGHAM
to a D•:kedom, we believe this was in consequence of
a promise made by his present MAJESTY to the King
of FRANCE on his leaving England ; the Marquis
naving shew•n great attention to Locts XVIII. during
his exile in this country. Of the Irish Peers whose
names are in the Gazelle of Saturday, we confess
tha-, af.er much inquiry, we cannot learn the why
or wherefore of their promotion ; and we suspect that
it would puzzle the Editor of the Peerage Chart to
know how to class them. But then there is Mr.
Alderman JAMES, of Dublin, on whose shoulder the,
Marquis of WEI. LeSt.EY first laid his sword,and recom-
mended him to aßaronetcy,which he has sinceobtained.
The worthy Alderman's claims to such a dignity are
very equivocal ; he was the first man in Ireland to
counteract the parting injunction of his Sovereign,
and to throw the apple of discord among the subjects
of the sister Isle; and therefore the only ground on
which we suppose his MAJESTY could confer the
honour of a Baronet upon him, was to shew how
much Royalty was capable of forgiving.

The Civil, Diplomatic, and Mistellaneous head of
charge, amounts to above 1,600,(XX) dollars—not
near so much as £4oo,ooo—not half so much as thy
cost of his Majesty's own household establishment
be: e—a disproportion which, after making due allow-
ances for the excess of pa6eantry, which always has
exited, and some of which doubtless ought to exist,
between a Monarchy, however limited, and a Repub-
lic, may still justly give rise to very serious reflec-
tions among the thinking members of this im-
poverished and distressed community.
The interest on the Debt of the United States, in-
cluding also a sum for the zeimbersing the holders
of a certain portion and description of it, does not
exceed 5.700,000 dollars, or about £1,270,000.
Besides the above sum, there is a clear and real
sinking fund of about 4,300,000 dollars—equal to
more than one-fourth of the whole annual expendi-
ture; and equivalent to one-twentieth part of the
whole unredeemed debt. Again, the military ser-
vice of the United States, including ordnance, fortifi-
cations, and pensions, is stated at a little more than
five millions of dollars—actually less, if we remem-
ber right, than our ordnance estimates alone.
The charge for the American navy, which includes
not merely the vessels building, so formidable for
their size and force, but the squadrons which keep
the sea in all parts of the world, and which maintain
with 4o much vigour and efficiency the commercial
tiglia of American citisens, and the honour of the

half-scant, and several muskets fired in quick succession, ea.
pensive of distress, but of which no notice was taken at tha
batteries. A Gentleman, who was a passenger, then came in the
schooner's boat, and, on boarding the flag-ship, learnt froth
thence, that his Majesty's brig PILETZA had the guard ; an apph_
cation was then made by this Gentleman to Lieutenant essay,
her Commander, who, in the most prompt, zealous. and gentl,.
Indy manner, ordered his boats to be instantly manned arid
equipped with the necessary anchors and hawsers for renderir;
assistance, and be accompanied them himself, to sire the service
properly executed : the schooner, with the assistance thus rut -
dered, was brought safe into harbour about sin o'clock last evr L-

again been driven off the coast, perhaps for ever.

Yesterday morning died, at Wallingford, in the
65th year of his age, the Rev. EDWARD BARRY, D.D.
Rector of St. Mary's and St. Leonard's, in that town.
He was an elegant scholar, a most forcible preacher,
as mauy of the public charities in this country can
gratefully acknowledge, a zealous and conscientious
Clergy man, a warm and benevolent friend, and a most
liberal and charitable man. He was author of seve-
ral works of high reputation, chiefly on theological
subjects.
Bicton, the seat of the Right Hon. Lord Rot.t.s,

' were gladdened by the distrMution of four fat oxen,
numerous large standing pies, and a quantity of odier
good cheer.

motion commenced, to emanate horn a fixed star, and
was visible to the naked eye for full half* minute.

nave 'TRADE.—(From a Boston Paper of the 12th
ultimo.)—By the following account, received from
Captain Mackay, of the brig Alexander, from the
coast of Africa, at the Vineyard, it appears that the
odious traffic in Slaves is now in the most flourishing
state :—" Vessels left on the coast of Angola, on
the 16th of July last :—The Portuguese brigs, the
Sixth of February, Cruz, and Griffin, all from Rio
Janeiro, slaving, each to take 560, the first nearly full.
At Burma, August 17th, seven Portuguese schooners
and several small craft, slaving. On the coast of
Congo, August 29th, the Portuguese ships Tumigo,
Captain Silyera ; Henrique, Firma; and the San
Jose Americana, Domingo, slaving : the first to take
650, the second the same (nearly full), and the last and
largest, being a frigate-built ship, mounting twenty-
eight 24 and 18-pounders, 1,2(X) slaves : the Officers
and men of these vessels more or less sick. On the
coast of Loangis, on September 15th, the English
ketch Fame, Burroughs, tender to the ship George
Canning, of Liverpool, which lay at old Celebar,
in search of illegal trade, all hands (with the exception
of the Mate and cne seaman) sick on her arrival—sent
some of our crew to furl her sails, &c. they being un-
able. At St. Thomas's, October 8, four Portuguese
schooners bound south, slaving; French brig Nep-

few on board, all hands dead but the mate and two
men ; the last very sick.

November. Sir THOMAS blaisa-tivz, the new Governor, was
daily expected at Port Jackson. The following is an extract
of a letter from a passenger:—" The ship Surrey, Rance, ar-
rived at Port Jackson on the 2d of June, from Valparaku,
with 18,000 bushels of wheat, for the relief of the Colonic,.
The Surrey touched, on her return to Sydney, at Pitcairn 's

NEWIIAVRN, JANUARY 11.

This town was on Sunday evening thrown into a general glocm
by the arrival of a messenger from Whitstable, with the sad tielizsg
of the loss of the sloop Lark, of this port, lluanows master, :al
all her crew. It appears that the vessel passed Whitstable on
Thursday, the 3d instant ; that in consequence of the wind shift-
ing and blowing hard, the Captain put his vessel about, and w
returning to a place of shelter ; that on turning up, the ve
struck against something, and unshipped her rudder, when Al:
became unmanageable ; the Captain then hoisted a signal (~r
assistance; a boat put off, but the demand made was by lit a-
sows considered too much (as it is stated), and he refused their
services; the boat, in consequence, left the vessel. The master,
finding he could make no progress, let go both anchors and cables,
and brought the vessel up. On Friday, the 4th, the wind shifted
to the N. E. and blew a complete hurricane ; in consequence 01
which, the Master hoisted a signal of distress, when a boat cans
to his assistance, from which one man was put on board, and the
other remained in the boat towing astern : it was at this tin,:
deemed advisable to slip from the cables, and carry a press of
canvas to keep the vessel from a lee shore, when, on proceedirg
up the river, it is conjectured that the rudder hanging below the
keel struck the ground, stopped the vessel's way, and brought
her round ; the sails then taking the wind full, forced the use!
out of her course, and she soon after went stem up on the sstd
called the Columbine, about four miles off Whitstable, the sea
breaking tremendously ; not a moment was now to be lost to
save the crew, but it appears that the Captain, with the
view of getting two hampers of some consequence from die
cabin, ran thereto; at the instant, a heavy sea broke the bon
adrift from the vessel with one person on board, and at the same
time the whole of the crew, with one of the boatmen that had
ventured off to their assistance, were washed overboard Irons the
vessel's deck, and have not since been seen. Poor Mallows, ell
returning from the cabin, and observing his situation, took t"
the rigging, as the only hope of his life being saved through the
determined bravery of some person from the shore ; but th.t
hope was not realised, he perished in the rigging, where he wee'
found hanging by one of his legs (which had got jammed) the
following day, and was landed at Whitstable on Saturday evenill•
His remains were brought to this place last evening.
sipal part of the crew were lads from this neighbourhood, and
whose parents are in the deepest distress from the effect, of this
sad event. livaaows has left a widow and four small children
to bemoan his sad fate. I have not heard of any part of the re'
patty being insured, except a quantity of wheat belonging to
