perhaps this is one of the justest points of view in
which the state of things here may be contemplated.
At the Congress of Vienna a new (and HEAVEN
grant a golden) age is to be created and begun. All
kingdoms, all ranks, all religions, all men are to be
satisfied, and to reap for ages fruits upon the soil
which has been manured by their blood, consecrated
and entitled by their valour to become a paradise.
" The question is to give permanent forms to a
quarter of the globe, to establish a Law of Nations,'
which shall give equal rights to all ; shall maintain
Sovereigns in Union among each other, and Nations
in prosperity and repose. The problem is too vast
and too difficult of solution, and requires more than
a few weeks to be brought to maturity. All that in
'such a span of time could be done for the system of
a world has been done, and he is unjust who demands
more than possibility. The principal Monarchs are
as Brothers—let this suffice for every expectation.
They do not become estranged for a Province, and
if their Counsellors and Ministers are sometimes of

different opinions, still their own unanimity and sin-
cerity are pledges that these 'opinions will be re-
conciled.

44 That no results have yet appeared concerning
Poland, Saxony and Italy-, is most certainly net to be
imputed to the chief Powers. They were already
agreed on these points at Chaumont, at Paris, and at
London. Only the interference of a Power, whom
they chose should be great, strong, and powerful,
obstructs the decision and the publication of it. This
Power has formed a party of all the discontented, but
the four greatest Powers ( Russia, England, Austria,
and Pr ussia) are most indubitably agreed."

Another day's Paris Papers have reached us since
yesterday. All the accounts from Vienna now agree
in stating, that the Allied Sovereigns are about to
take their departure, the great matters on which they
were assembled being now nearly brought to a close.
On the subject, however, of the final arrangements
which have been determined on, we have but scanty
information. King FERDINAND, of Spain, has pub-
lished a Manifesto, in which he endeavours to justify
his late severities.

It will be seen from the continuation of our ex-
tracts from the American Papers (which we received

yesterday exclusively) that there is rottenness not
only in the Councils at Washington, but in the hearts
of their Naval and Military Commanders. General
Bitows, (who, by the way, seems to be one of their
most sober and skilful Captains,) quaintly informs
Commodore eIIetUNCNY that he has too long considered
the fleet under his command as his personal proptrty,
and impeaches him for misconduct to " the nation."
will, doubtless, in his turn, appeal toy
the same respectable tribunal, and while these logger.
heads are thus at war with each other, General Daum-
MOND has been daily getting reinforcements and sup-
plies from Sir him YEO : nay, so completely have
the tables been turned on the •• gallant little army"
of the Great nation, that Bitowri confesses that his
retreat from Fort Erie has become hazardous in the
extreme: so much for the truth of the report of Ge-
neral DRUMMOND'S army having been cut off
General BROWN concludes with threatening an at.
tack on Kingston.—Of the probability of his success
we have now ample means of judging. The strength
of Kingston would at all times •• laugh a siege to
'scorn," independently of our decided superiority on
the Lake Ontario, and the ample supplies and rein-
forcements which it is now in the power of the British
Commander to furnish.

'The National Intelfigencer, that organ of bad faith
and bad morals, takes great pains to prove the great
integrity of MADISON'S wretched faction, in punctually
paying off the national debt, contracted by his jideral
predecessors in office ! With what grace could, an
English writer praise any administration for paying
off the interest of the National debt, contracted by
their predecessors, who were of opposite political prin-
ciples ? Who, but a man of depraved morals, would ,
take credit to himself for the performance of a simple
act of justice and common honesty ? and yet this is
the pledge which MADISON'S writers hold out to the
bidders for his new Loans !

.The following are some further interesting extracts:
NEW-YORK, NOVEMBER 9.
By the Sally, which has arrived from China, we
have received the following information :
The Captain saw only one vessel of war on his pas.
sage, and spoke no vessels. Passenger in the Sally'
Captain Rogers, of the ship Hunter, of Boston.
The Hunter sailed from Canton on the 18th of
March last, with a full cargo of teas, bound to Bos.
ton. belonging to Messrs. Dors, of Boston, and was
captured, 24 hours out, by the Doris frigate.
The Brutus and Tansahamaha. of Boston, and
several other armed vessels, were at Canton, hauled
up. The catharine, of Boston, has been condemned
as unseaworthy. The Sally sailed June 11th from
Canton.
When the Sally sailed from Canton, the ship Jacob
Jones of Boston, and the schoOners Spirez and Rus-
sell, had arrived at that place.
The ship Pennsylvania, packet, and schooner Cin.
tra, from New York, had been chaced off, and bad
not since been heard from. The ship Lark, of New
York, had been upset, the crew being saved. The

ship Athualpa had been condemned as unseaworthy.)
at the Sandwich Islands, and sold, and Captain Su-
tre had arrived at Canton. The brig PedLsr and
ship Catherine, of Boston, had been sold—the former
at the North-West, and the latter at Canton.
DEAD CREEK, UPPER CANADA, ocro BER 19.

The army under command of Major. Gen. Izards
advanced as far as Chippawa Plains on the 14th inst.
having to replace the bridges which the enemy de-
stroyed, and driving in his out-posts, after some sharp
skirmishing with our light corps is the afternoon of
that day. On the 15th, the enemy appeared in force
at the village of Chippawa, but shew no disposition
to give as battle.
The bridge had also been destroyed, and no means
were then possessed •f reaching him but by our artil-
lery, which was brought up and ably directed by
Captains Towson and Archen, disabling his batteries
and almost silencing his field artillery, before night,
when we returned to the encampment. On the 15th,
we again shewed him our front, in order of battle, and
although reinforced he could not be drawn into the
contest. On the 17th, the army changed position,
and mired seven miles up the Niagara.
General Bissall was detached with his brigade on
the morning of the 18th, to watch the effect of this
movement, while the main body continued on its
ground, in the hope of drawing the enemy from his
position. The brigade of General Bissall had, by a
circuitous route through the woods, gained the vici-
nity of a draw-bridge, about three miles above the
mouth of Chippawa River, and allowing but a part
of his force to be discovered.

At day-break the enemy threw over a strong co•
lumn to destroy what he conceived a reconnoitring
party, and was instantly received by the brigade, and
though far superior in numbers, tie was beaten with
great

slaughter, driven over his bridge, and pursued
so closely, as to have no time for its removal the
battery which defended the passage was gallantly
carried, giving time only to discharge two rounds
before it was occupied by our troops.
The enemy was reinforced, but obliged to give
ground, and retired with a loss estimated at nearly
200 in killed, wounded, and prisoners—ours is stated
at 14 killed and 54 wounded. The main body will
march immediately, and reinforcements are already
gone to support him, but the enemy has probably re-
treated beyond a prospect of successful pursuit. The
action lasted three quarters of an hour, and was prin-
cipally fought beyond the River.

LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES SLOOP PEACOCK

By the private armed brig Grampus, lately arrived
at New York, from a cruise, we learn that the United
States sloop of war Peacock put into Puerto de
Naas, in the Island of Lanzarote, on the 2d Septem-
ber, for water, but not getting any, she landed twelve
prisoners, and sailed the same day for Puerto Ven-
tura. The prisoners informed, that during a cruise
the Peacock had sunk two British sloops of war.

The Duke of WsurN. Gxotr gave a grand Ball on ,
Saturday last to the Paris fashionables.
Since the army of RuNGErr SING bas been with-
drawn from the north-west frontier of the Punjab, it
appears by the Ukbars that the forces of MANHOOD
SHAH and FLITTER KHAN, had begun to spew them-
selves in considerable strength upon the Attock, and
were seriously meditating the invasion of Mooltan.
The people of that country, we are told, were flying
in all directions; and MOEUFFER KHAN, the Nawaub
of Moolan, had thrown himseif on KUNGEET SING
for protection, and solicited the aid of a Seik army.
When last heard of, FUTTER KHAN was preparing
to cross the Attcck : on his march he had encoun-
tered some resistance from the Nawaub of MUN
EMMA, who attempted to oppose the passage of th
Dowaunee troops through his territory, but was dis-
comfited, and obliged to take refuge in his principal
fortress. This man had subsequently made terms
for himself with Form Kuala, and agreed to sup-'
ply him with a body of troops, 20 guns, and a sum
of money, as the price of exemption from further
annoyance.
FUTTEII SING, a powerful Seik Chieftain, and lately
one of RUNGEET'S principal adherents, appears to'be
in disgrace ; and welearn from the Ukbars, that his.
son, BHUDDA SING, had been thrown into confinement
by the Rajah.
RUNGEET SING, .we are told, at the suggestion of
some of his Courtiers, had sent a sum of 15,000 ru-
pees tO.SHAR SOOGAH, at Moolk, by way of compen-
sation for the jewels of which he had plundered him.
The Ukbars mention, that SCINDEA had recently
set out in person from his camp, for the purpose of
conducting the Bala Bhae from Gwaleer ; and that
SHUMSHEER KHAN and DULLZEL- KHAN, two Chiefs
in AMEERA KHAN'S service, are stated to have beiaed
the person of the Rajah of Odeypoor, whom they
carried off to their camp, and_ detained there in
durance.

The American privateer Ityder ttlly has been cap-
tured on the East India station. We understand,
that she had been previously chased for 60 hours by
two British ships of war, from whom she escaped;
but she was afterwards fallen in with by the Oven
Glendower frigate, and captured, and carried into Pulo
Penang. She is said to carry 20 guns, with a large
crew. The capture of a large American privateer
has been known some time ; but her name has not
yet been stated.
EXECUTION OF THE Malwi—This morning Pawl,
Sootoe, and Caden, were taken from New-
gate at nine o'clock in a cart, in which they were
accompanied by two of their countrymen, the execu- '
tioner, and his assistant—there was also the usual at-
tendance on such occasions, and were followed by a
large concourse of persons. A little after ten o'clock,
they arrived at Execution Dock, where shortly after-
wards they underwent the sentence of the law, and
their bodies, after being suspended the usual time,
were then taken down and delivered over to the at-
tendants from the several public hospitals for dissec-
tion. •
