The American Generals and Naval Officers on the
Canada frontiers are continually involved in quarrel,.
Generol BROWN has written a long letter to Commo-
dore CHAUNCRY, apparently on business, but evi.
dently calculated to convey some vulgar reproaches
for omitting to support him as he ought to have done
at Lake Ontario. The want of assistance he admits,
renders his situation at Fort Erie extremely precari.
ous, and will make his retreat from that place pieta.
rious and dtfficiilt in case such a step is necessary.
By General Orders, dated 44 Head-quarters if the
Northern Army, Camp near Fort Erie, October 22,"
the Volunteers and Militia, on service with the
Northern Army in Upper Canada, were ordered to
march to Batavia to be discharged.
Two Hamburgli Mails, with Brussels and Frank,
fort Papers, reached Town this morning. From
Fianna we learn, that two leading points have been
settled at the Congress, to the satisfaction of all par.
.ties. Saxony gets back her King, and the German
Princes are, as heretolore, to be under the protection
of Austria, subject to certain necessary mod fications.
Not a word is said in these papers of Poland.
• By accousts from Rio Janeiro to the 21st October,
it appears• that a duty of 30 per cent. has been im-
posed upon all goods exported from the Brazils, which
Are not destined to ports and territories under the
Government of the Prince Regent of PoRTIIO4I.
this be correct it will go far to destroy the effect of
the 144 e treaty with this country.
The opinion gain* ground that the Negotiations at
Ghent have led to a well grounded hope that the
signing of Preliminaries of Peace will be announced
at no very remote period, Nothing official is, hew-
ever, allowed to transpire on this side the water, bet
the movements of some who are supposed likely to ba
well informed on any thing that concerns Americas
interests, gives countenance to the general belief.
We have received Paris Papers of Saturday. They
contain rather a curious article respecting the deten-
tion of a French Officer, bearing letters from Naples,
which were forcibly taken from him. We presume
this was intended as an act of retaliation for some•
what similar treatment which Lord OXFORD recently
received in France.

" ROME, NOVEMBER 15.
'• An event which happened at Fendi, on the fro.l•
tiers of the Kingdom (it Naples, has caused a great
sensation here. The Baron de B.wlnois, a Freach
General Officer, going from Naples, where he had
been on private business of great importance, was at-
tacked on the 13th instant, near Fendi, op the fron•
tiers of the Kingdom of Naples, by armed men. Tour
of these persons got possession of his person, robbed
him of his papers, and having teal-treated him, left
him on the spot. What is surprising, is, that two
merchants going the same read a few minutes beke
the coach of the French General, were not stopped
by the malefactors. The Baron de Boulnois arrood
at the French Ambassador's, who bestowed on him
all the care which his situation demanded, and fur-
nished him with the necessary assistance. His Holi.
ness was much affected at the accident, and sent to
inquire as to the state of the Baron, and to condole
with him on his accident. The Baron took care to
draw up a frrocer-verdal at Terracina of the circum-
stances of the attack, which was the more ertraordi•
nary, since the robbers left many precious objects in
the coach, but took away carefully all the plers
which the Baron bore."

Lord F*11,124.31 put a period to his existence with
a pistol, on Friday last, in the chamber of one of Lis
sons, in Trinity College, Dublin. He had previously
sent the servant down stairs that he might arrange
some papers without interruption. This act is ascribed
to perplexities arising from the late failure ct dx
bat,lting-house in Dublin, in which his Lordship
concerned.
Last night a Coroner's Inquest was held at B3:*
tholomew's Hospital on the body of Sarah Pentt,n,
who lately lived in Feather-bed-court, Fetter-lane. !E
appeared that the deceased, in a quatrel with her Lui•
band, had been repeatedly struck with a piece cf an
old chair, and was carried to the H
quence. The Jury returned a verdict i,t

Very little famines's was dune upon our mai ket tisk mornklrs
