WASIIINGTON, SEPTEMBER Ss.
John Graham, Esq. one of-the Commissioners ap-
pointed to treat with the Northern Indians, arrived in
this City on Tuesday, with a Treaty signed at Spring
Wells; the nth instant, by the Commissioners and
Chiefs of all the Tribes with which they were autho-
rised to treat. The Treaty is entirely satisfactory,
we learn, and stipulates for the faithfcl performance
cf all previous Treati'es.

His Majesty's ship .5211VN7: arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday from Madras. which she left on the 9th of
July, and touched at the C.ipe in September, on her
passage home. Th 4 Company's ship ScALEBY CASTLE,
homeward-bound, left the Cape on the 25th August.
The Treaty of Peace wiLh the Nepaulese Govern-
ment, brought by his Majesty's ship SPHYNX, is
highly advantageous to the interest of the Eat India
Company.

Yesterday Mr. GREENWOOD entertained his Royal
Highness the Commander in Chief and a select party,

The Earl of MaLstsnuity is much indisposed at his

The Duke of BounnoN is returned to England, to
[attend on his sister, who, we believe, is in a conven-

A letter brought by the Brussels Mail of yesterday
states, that a part of the Austrian force marching
from France had received orders to retrograde and
occupy Alsace. Perhaps the speedy signature of the
Convention, which the last French Papers promised,
should be imputed to this movement:

they were met at the entrance by the Master and
Court of Assistants of the Fishmongers' Company,
to vihicb the Loan MAYO& Elect belongs. On the
pro Cession passing %hi ough die Hall to the hustings,
they were considaably impeded by the crowd, who
greeted both the new and old Lord Mayors with
unusual marks of approbation. Between the hustings
and the body of the Hall was a tarp. space, tilled
with a numher of Ladies, elegantly tire: ,ied, seated on
benches covered With scarlet cloth, v,iiere they be-
held the ceremony of the new Loan MAYOR being
sworn into office and invested. After the cere-
mony of swearing in, the. cryer adjourned the meet-

t;ie . same grand procession to the blausion-house,
where the late Lotto Mavou gave them a sumptuinis
entertainment, generally termed his larcv,cll dinner.
This being Lard 'Mayor's Day, they proceeded by

introduced to the Barons of the Exchequer, alter
which they visited-the several Law Conrui, according
to custom, and invited the Judges to the grand civic
entertainment. given at Guildhall.
COAL TitA De. —On Wednesday week, 150 colliers
sailed from Shields for London, and all the ships re-
maining in the Tyne wereexpected to clear out in the
course of this week. Every thing remains tranquil.
01: Sunday se'nnight, the Right Worshipful the
M.tvon of NowcaAle, received a letter, dated the
27th ult. from Mr. AnDINOTON, in which he assures
the Mayor, " that it is highly gratifying to Lord
Stow:tau to learn, that, by the zealous and firm co-
operation of the civil, naval, and military Authorities
of Newcastle and its neighbourhood, the power of
the law had been effectually re-established, and order
and tranquillity restcired."
And on the next day, he received the following
letter from Lord Stumovrit :

which will

" Point a ninral or adorn a :ale"
to latest posterity : we shall, th..r. fore, make no
apology for banging his interesting biograpL y before
our Readers.

Murat's father was a water .carrier in Pads, bat
having committed some c:ime, he tied from the police
and took refuge in the mountains of Dauphiny,
were then infested hy numerous bands of smugglers,
brigands, and coioers. While pursuing this honour-
able vocation, in 1761 e a son %cc: born to him in the
person of our hero. In May, 1769, Murat's father
was tried and convicted at Valence of belonging to
the corps of brigands commanded by a celebrated
'robber of the won:: of Manirin, e:ho was for many
years a terror to the inhabitants of Dauphiny. Old
Murat suffered the barbarous punishment of breaking
on the wheel, and his son Joachim was sent to the
Orphan-House at Lyons.

It is a curious circutu.aance connected with this
part of Murat.% h:story, that the infamy of his cniTrin
has been stoutly contested since hi; ckvation to rank
and power: he has been repeatedly described as the
son of a respecCible innkeeper at Calnrs ; but, unfor.
tunately for this assertion, the records of tile cities of
Valence and of Lyons, are still in existence to attest
' the fact ; and though last not least, we are in pos-
session of a letter from Murat himself to the Jacobin
Club, dated 23th July, 1793, and inserted in all the
Paris Journals of that day, in which he plainly avows
the circumstances of his father's death. lag: a o'int
Culotte 11 birth," he says in that curious prpduction,
as well as MARAT : my father dird a vicii,a to the
tyranny of King:, as Mara did to the treachery of
Kingly aristocracy."
From the Orphan-House of Lyons, Murat was
taken, at a very early age, by an actor of the name
of St. Aubin, as an errand-boy, and in a year or two
he became call-boy to the theatre of Lyons. In 1780,
when about sixteen years of age, he first appeared as
an actor, and bustled through the characters of vas as,
and walking gentlemen, until 1786, when being
hissed while playitig a part in a comedy called Le
Circle, he menaced the spectators by drawing his
sword, and was instantly ordered off the stage. Next
day be enlisted in the regiment of cavalry called
Rryal aillemagne, in which he continued a private until
17S0, when that regiment was ordeted to Paris to
overawe the Duke of Orleans, La Fayette, an other
infamous partizans of atheism, treason, and rebellion,
the fruits of whose labours Europe has been reaping
fur twenty-hoe years.

Murat deserted from his regiment in the Champs
Ely sees, an act of treachery which proved an excellent
recommenddtion to Li Fayette, who was then orga-
nizing a National Guard on the eingular congruction of
allowing soldier; to be a deliberative body; and Murat,
instead of being well flogged and returned hand-
cuffed to his regiment, was, by this patriotic reformer,
made a corprral. Murat's experience on the st:tge,
added to a graceful exterior and active dispositions
with a smattering of the low jargon of liberty and
equality, coon procured him promotion ; and San-
term, the brewer, of infamous memory, made him
a Lieutenant in the battalion of St. Antoine, of which
the former was Colonel.

On the 20th of June, 1792, Murat attended San-
terre, as a kind of Aide-de-Camp, am a visit paid by
that ruffian to his Sovereign, then a prisoner-at-large
in the castle of the Thuilleries. Murat, on this occa-1
sion, vociferated to the King, without any pretext
whatever for addressing his Majesty—" Louif, to
un trentre, nous faut to tote.'' And when Madame)
Elizabeth courageously reproached him for thus in-
sulting his superiors, the vulgar rntlian drew his
sword and exclaimed—" rah tei, coquine, autrensent je
Sc coupe en deux." That this effusion of Jacobin po-
liteness pleased La Fayette and Santerre mightily
cannot be doubted, for neit day Murat was formally
igazetted by them as an Aide-de-Camp or Officer of
ithe Staff to both.

On the occasion of the dreadful massacres of Sep.
tember, in the same year, Murat commanded the
guard stationed to protect the prison of La Force
from the fury of the. savages who went about butcher-
ing the unhappy inmates of the prisons of Paris.—
.When we inform our Readers that every individual
in the prison of La Force perished under the hands
of the assassins, and that Murat himself joined in the
horrid transaction, we apprehend they will suppose
that the protection afforded by the new made Aide-I
de-Cimp to the prisoners, was that afforded by the
wolf to the lamb. The beautiful and accomplished
Princess of Lamisalle was assassinated on that occa-
:ion; and a refinement of savage barbarity was prat.
tired by Murat on the breathless corpse of that lovely
innocent, which, if it were not authenticated by living
eY':.-witnesser, would be incredible. It was one nt

allowed their choice of Captain, Ship, and Stith". All the sea-
I therefore, that are unemployed, cannot from ssetessity, be
objects of charity: that many of them are so is from choice. His
Majesty's service is open to them, and reitA, zvous for their re-
ception are established in all parts of the United Kinglom. Nearly
one hundred sad of men of war have been recently re commis-
sioned, and are ready to receive such semen as may voititittzr.
The above, Mr. Editor, are facts, w hich if you should think
worth insertion, will, perhaps, afford inkirm2.ion to others of
your Readers. I am, Sir, your humbie servant,

There is every reason to fear that a large foreign
ship was lost with all the crew on the Goodu in Savd,
in the gale of Monday se'noight, as Amu ten o'clock
in that evening a lip ht was observed in that direc-
tion, when one of our boats put to sea, but before
they had reached the spot it had disappeat ed—th-y,
however, fell in with a great quantity of wrtck of
masts, yards, &c. which from the danger of staving
their boat, they were 'wattle t.) apprnach. The
next day a qaantity of emp's c mks and other articles
were picked up itt the Gull Sueam, and it is reported
that the slop', raper., have been washed ashore at
Kingsdown, s.hich describe her to be a foreigner, and
(3 have bed between '2O and Sf) perstms on board.—
We h tve not been able in learn further particulars.

DETAILLD ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS UP THE SIR
WILi.IAM CUR I'IS PACKE

Ras: brier c,Novs. meta 11.—Yesterday arrived here the I.ord
I.iverpoui 1 ack. r, front Ostend, which porn she left on Saturday
after, -un—broo..ht several officers and other passengers. By
thin vessel, we kart: that there are hopes of the. Sir William Curtis
packet being got of. The Sir William Curtis sailed from Rams-
pate for Ostaid on Friday evening, October 27, about nine
seeded', fine weather at that time, but afterwards becoming un-
favourable, she did not arrive of Ostend until Sunday morning,
too heir to get in :hat tide. In the afternoon a most severe gale
sprang up at easterly, which made a great sea at the entrance of
the harbour At seven o'clock the light was hoiste lon the East
Pier, which denoted a sufficient depth of water for the packet to
enter; but Captain PALER*, being determined, if possible. to
ay.ml any risk, delayed making for the harbour until nine o'clock, ,
w'..en the vessel ruck on the ground, about Su yards distant from
the. Pier-head, and afterwards waehy.l unagaiiiet the piles on the
were side; an attempt was then made to get the boat out, but she
stove, and the vessel filled with water. At this moment, Cap•
Lao FALIPA attempted to fasten a repe to the piles that Vic
passengers might by that means be assisted; but in endeavouring
to accomplish this, Captain FA LERA was washed oven heard by a
tremendous wave, anclit was with great e! Ificulty that lie got on
shore and saved hie own life. At this nitimett it is most probable
that the unfortunate ladies were washed elf the deck alio. The
Steward of the ship caught hold of MI-% CARLTON with oae
hand, and with the other held by one of :let pike when the vessel
heeled, and his leg was jammed against the piles, and he could
keep his hod of the Lady no longer, and she sunk and was seen
no snore. This man remained on the piles 11 um Mlle until two
o'clock In the Morning before he could get extricated from his
situation: I believe that his thigh was lit uken. Colonel KIN •
N AIRD was one of the passengers, and got on shore from the piles
6 considerably hurt. Several others 'seeped the same way. Mrs.
CARLETON (mother of Lord Doecit It raft), and her daughter,
a young lady upwards of twenty, and their female servant, un-
fortunately perished. The body of Mrs. Ceti exToN only had
been found at the time the Liverpool kft Ostend ; the young lady
and female servant had not been picked up on Saturday last.. No
endeavours were wanting either by the Captain or Mate to save
the unfortunate passengers that perkiwd ; and their exertions oil
this melancholy occasion were highly meritorious, although not
attended with the desired success. The Ceptaist's not endeavour-
ing to make the harbour of Ostend In the inomin,,,, is universally
acknowledged to be goad judgment, as he would then have been
sure to have lost his vessel. Nothing bitt a most severe gate
coming on at the time he made the harbour, enti.ed the accident.
Besides the unfortunate sufferers before mentioned, there was a
young man perished, who was brother, it is son!, to a person that
was lost in the Lord Wellington Dover packet, near Ostend, a
few months since. To the very extraurdieary ciscumbtaiice of
there being several feet less water at the Pier-head on Sunday
than there was the day before at the same time, and the being
deceived by the light being hoisted, under the idea of there being
the same depth of water as usual, this dreadful accident may be
chiefly attributed. Letters from Flushing also mention the same
circumstance as very extraordinary, of there being three feet less
water at that place on Sunday evening than that were twelve
hours before, owl:Ito*, gale amain on so rapidly from the
,eanwaul. •
