Istract •f s Letter from Jostpb Wilson, jun. Purser of the late
United State., brig Rettlesnaki, in the Secretary of the Navy.
a Boeton, July 29, 1814.

" I have the honour of making known to you the
following circumstances relative to the cruize and
capture of the late United States' brig Rattlesnake,
by order of James Renshaw, Esq. Commander.
" May Si, lat. 40. N. long. 33. W. fell in with a

frigate, and very narrowly escaped, by throwing over
all die gun* except the two long nines. June 9,
47. N. long. 8. W. received information by a Rus-
sian brig from England of the Revolution in France,
and destroyed the English brig John, laden with Eng-
lish goods. June 22, lat. 4'2. N. long. SS. W. de
stroyed the English brig Crown Prince, laden with
fish. July 11, at day-light, wind south, discovered
a frigate on the weather, and Cape Sable on the lee,
bow ; the frigate proved to be the Leander, to which
the ship Rattlesnake was surrendered, at eight A. 51.
after •rrrry exertion had been made to escape.

" The Rattlesnake arrived in Halifax on the 13th,
and the Leander on the 14th instant. The Surgeon,
Captain's clef k, and myself, were ordered on board
the United States cartel ship Perseverance, in which
vessel we arrived at Providence last evening."

Parii Papers of Monday and Tuesday have ar-
rived: the extratts from those of the former day are
given in another part of our paper : those which we
have taken froni Tuesday's Paper are subjoined. An
Ordonnance of the !CNC% graces the columns of the
illoniteur, in which his MAJESTY appears surrounded

with All the attributes of a Christian- Sovereign. Wc

allude to the regulations for the Suture management

- - .
of the prisons of France, and Which could only have

emanated from the head and heart of a man worthy

to rule over an enlightened people. To the immortal
honour of the humane and virtuous Louis be k spoken,

that hia attention has been directed even to the most

neglected and most wretched of his subjects, at a time
when objects pressed upon his attention which cour-
tiers and politicians would naturally whisper ought
to prevail over all others.

His Majesty justly regards the laws of humanity
as the first of his duties, and evinces a determination

to fou.>l his popularity on the affections of the vir-

tuous and the good, and not on the passions of the
ifforant and the base. Look at the ordonnances of
che bane and benevolent Louts—Compare them

*ith tail sanguinary and ferocious edicts of Bo;.
NAPANTEi ye who cherish the memory bf this wretch
and his abominable reign, and blush for the weak.
ness and die depravity of mankind !

From Pads itself we have but scanty intelligence of
interest—among the recent presentations at Court

we observe the name's bf the virtuous and worthy men
who were engaged In the glorious conspiracy of
GEORGES and MOREAU to terminate the miseries of
Europe ten years ago, by the restoration of their
August and legitimate Princes.
They, have been enobled by letters patent from the
King—they were long since enobled by the approba-

tion of their own breasts And by the applauding voice
of every enlightened man in Europe t even the
Sat of Louts XVIII. could trot have added a
wreath of laurel to their brines; but the admirers of
humanity, Virtue, and patriotism, will rejoice that
such men at CoucueßY, ANbR F., and LkiIICRER are
drawn nearer to the person and the council of the
KING by the ties of Nobility. It is by reposing thr
Confidence of Royalty on such then only, that France
will becoMe a peaceful neighbour to the States of
Europe, and 'A rich customer to England.
All the persciris thus distingisished by the Royal
favotir, Were exiles with his MAJESTY in England,
and *ere, More or less, his counsellors and advisers.
One of them (M. Coucrikay) in particular' was dis-
tinguished by the intrepidity and weal with Which,
as a public writer, he attacked the despotism este-
Wished by BONAPARTE. From enjojing a great 'h-
i periority of literary talents, added to a pasonal
ledge of the great Charlatan histiself, And the insects
which buzzed aboiat him, he wits more tliah their etas-
ter in the weapons with which he attackhd them, and
Europe was fur a long time deluged with produc.
lions from his pen, mostly tending to overwhelm his
;Action With derision and contempt: His name was
repeatedly mentioned in the Manifew as their author,
although few persons in this country knew the fact :
a proot' of the keen espionage with Which the Emi-
grants in this country were watched by BONAPARTE.
The French Journalists entertain us with a foolish
story from Naples about the superiority of French
over English fashions at that place.

ALTONA, SEPTEMBER 9.
Yesterday the King' arrived here at ten o'clock in
the evening. A guard of Russian troops proceeded
to the frontiers to receive his Majesty; and he was
received at the entrance of the city by the President,
Blucher, the Horse Burgher Guard, and all the Au-
thorities. In the City there were illuminations and
fire-works. His Majesty continues his route for
Vienna by Magdeburg, Leipsic, and Prague.
POSEN, AUGUST 26.

The retnains of the Polish array commanded by
Lieutenant-General Count Krasinski, coming from
France, yesterday made their entree into our city. in
the midst of acclamations. From the balconies the
ladies threw flowers on our troops, who, rich in glory,
were still distinguished by their fine appearance, after
a very long route. The houses were decorated with
garlands, dowers, and laurels. The Prefect, accom-,
panied by all the Authorities, waited upon these lease
soldiers, harangued them osid testified. in the name

and for the administration of the Police, have been
attended with the greatest success; that the island is
profoUndly tranquil ; and that the revenue is consi-
derably enhanced- The troops, even including those
quartered near Batavia, are actually more healthy
than the troops, on an average, on the Continent of
India ' • and although the Island is suffering very
much frOm the want of foreign commerce, and a mar-
ket for its productions, which occasions a groat scar-
city of specie, the revenues ars-not found defective,
and the internal And colonial trade with the adjacent
isles is daily increasing.

al You will, doubtless, have heard of the success of
our Japan expedition. I do not believe our Govern-
ment is altogether satisfied with the conduct of the
Dutch Director, but, in a commercial point of view,
great benefits have arisen.
44 The importance and value df this trade, seems to
have been much underrated by the Dutch ; —and
while confined to Java, it could not be an object of
great importance to them. It supplies them princi-
pally with copper, for the currency of the Eastern
islands, and took off a large proportion of its raj
goods, such as sugar, and the like.
64 The Dutch not being a mandacturing nation,
neirer viewed their connection With Japan, In a light
which a connection must be viewed the English.
They had no woollens, no camblets, no hardware, or
cut-glass, to dispose of—and it is in these articles, that
the demand in Japan is likely to be the greatest.
44 Once introduced, there would be no Emit to the
demand, but the means of payment, and in this re•
spect, Japan is rich in returns.
",Silver and gold are scarce, and prohibited to be
exported ; but coßper, camphor, raw silk,.teas, and,

upon us to spare her own in any way whatever.
—The Admiralty, we hAve reason to believe, air
making active exertions to hurl upon the American'
the thunder of the B:ilish Navy, and t make them
feel the evils of the war, which they have provoked,
along the whole extent of their coast. It is distressing
to think of the miseries brought upon the cart pro.
ple of any country.by the wickedness of their ow.
Government; but in no other way can the people
themselves be made to cry out of their own wroisgs
in such a way as to cause their voice to be kind by
their own Rulers. ,

every means was adopted of manifesting the satisfac-

were " Wild Oats," and "rut Revicm ;" pieces well
calculated to display the histrionic strength of the
