We have stated in preceding papers all that is pub-
licly known respecting the negotiations at Ghent.
They may be considered as suspended for the pre-
sent; but we apprehend that those who assert them
to be entirely broken off, are not correctly. informed.
That, eventually, they will be broken or we have
little doubt; for JONATHAN has not yet had time to
feel his true situation. He vapoured so much about
prowess and invincibility as at last to bring himself
to believe that all the windy nonsense with which he
was inflated was real power and energy. John Bull's
destiny was fixed by the infallible NAPOLEON, and
JONATHAN was to have little else to do than to divide
the prey.
Not excepting even the worst specimens of moral
political turpitude, exhibited by the French, during
any period of the last 25 years, more vile, atrocious,
and detestable principles never actuated the human
mind. than those which had sway for some time at
.Washinedn: Regardlest of every moral obligation—
deaf to the callsof afflicted and oppressed nations—for-
getful of their own origin, and the ties of blood, the
American Government sought the overthrow of the
last prop of civilised society—the extirpat:on of the
only Power left upon Earth to vindicate the Rights of
Nations : and this, too, at a moment when she be-
lieved that the numerous foes, with which Britain had
then to contend, would so press upon her as to pre-
♦ent her from even resenting any insult that might
be offered to her.

America has not yet awaked from her dream.—
The stupifying opiate administered by her quack
Rulers, according to the prescription of the French
Doctor, will yet require a considerable dose of British
acid, before the patient recovers the perfect use of right
reason. Several cargoes have already gone from this
country, others are in preparation, which, if duly ad-
ministered, may, it is thought, effect a perfect cute.
An English prescription offered at Ghent has been
refused. Its ingredients must first be submitted w
the inspection of Dr. MADISON.
Without pretending to superior information on the
subject, we believe the fact to be ;imply as stated in
•ur last. The Asnerical: Commissioners finding cer-
tain demands made by the English Negotiators, not
even touched upon in their instructions, have request-
ed time to procure fresh instructions from the other
side of the Atlantic.
In the mean time, the war will be carried on with
activity, and the American Commissioners will have
time to follow mercantile speculations, should they
be so inclined. Some of them will, it is said, return
to America, as it is thought that a little v;va wee
discussion wi11• better prepare them for their next
meeting with the British Commissioners than mere
dispatches. Messrs. GALATIN, CLAY, and BAYARD,
and their Secretaries, will, it is said, go to Brest, to
be ready to sail from that port on the Ist of October.
by which time it is expected that the Neptune (privi-
leged as a cartel) will have arrived there from Gotten-
burgh. Messrs. ADAMS and Russet. wiU, in the interim,
fulfil their duties as Ministers at the Courts of St. Pe-
tersburgh and Stockholm. Congress meets in the first
week of November, when, it is probable, the Neptune
will have arrived, and the proceedings at Ghent have
been submitted to M.anisoN, and Co. at Washington.
Upon the general state of relations between the
two countries, and the terms upon which a Peace
might to be concluded with the United States, we shall
effer some remarks in a few days.

Today we have received Paris Papers to Monday.
.The Moniteur is nearly filled with the proceedings in
the Chamber of Deputies on the 26th instant, when
M. FAREZ developed his projet for mak•a; the King's
Ministers responsible for every thing which shall be
done by them in the name of the King. M. BOIRZT
then read a proposal for a law to lighten the burden
•f the Ociroit lifunicipaux. The discussion on both
motions was adjourned.— Among the petitions
which were rejected were some appealing against
the Decrees of the French Courts, by which the
property of Emigrants was definitively vested in
the purchasers, during the Revolution, and not a few
complaining of hardships still resulting from the
Conscription-laws, which, it would appear, have left
a sting behind them, which will long fester into jea-
kn:sies and discord in France.

Tht case of these petitioners would afford :In excel.
lent harvest to our English lawyers.—The grievances
tor:,ll4ined of by one of them will, perhaps, furnish a
xrooping for some future historical picture of the

tr.iseries of
.France, under the Usurper, and serve more
clecply, to rivet the sentiments of abhorrence, which
pervade every honourable mind, against him.
M. CARTAULT, of Fontainbleau, connplains that
he was the happy father of five children, until three
of them were killed in battle. BUONAPARTEI that
never-to-be-forgotten destroyer of the human race,
then demanded his fourth and only remaining son, as
coming wishing tho conscription of 181.5. M. CAR-
T:lvo', with all the feelings of an affectionate father,
and having had enough in his family at least of that
•• glory" which hovered around •• the ever sublime
genius of the BonittfOr" and Ws followers, procured

a substitute at the enormous espe nse of MOO Danes,

it 4600 English, when the relative value of money

n the two countries is considered. The state of his

inances did not admit of his paying the money down,
out he agreed to pay k to the substituted conscript,
or his relatives, by instalments. M. CAIITAULT iS
Willing to pay the instalments which fell due uring

the three months of actual service, but, as all the con-

scrips of 1815 were then sent Some, he contends that

he is ther;by released from further payment.
Tie Committee who report upon his Petition, argue
with much apparent reason, that this is a contract

- -
between individuals with which the nation or its Re.

presentatives have nothing to do, and remind M.
CARTAULT, that the substitute might have been killed
during his three months service, and at all events that
his son never quitted the bosom of his family. We
call M. CA.RTAULT'S case a very hard one, but we by
no means impugn the decision of the Committee, on
his Petition, which was rejected on fair and constitu-
tional grounds, namely, that to pronounce any opi-
nion upon it would be to prejudge any action at law

which might be brought by either party.
Petitions were also read, praying for a reversion of
the French Bankrupt Laws, and for a relaxation of
certain duties on publishing the works of a dead au-
thor, the profits upon which were appropriated to
himself by one of BUONAPARTE'S Decrees, of the 29th
of April, 1811.
A Petition from some Colonists of Martinique,
complain of being swindled by tuoNoroure, by an-
other Imperial Decree, of the 23d of December, 1810.
These poor Frenchmen supplied the French garrison,
or rather the Colonial Government of Martinique,
with large sums, in February 1809, previous to their
embarkation for Europe; and BUONAPARTZ, displeas-
ed, no doubt, with the capture of the Island, vented
his malicious rage upon the unfortunate garrison, by
refusing payment of certain Bills of Exchange, drawn
upon the Imperial Treasury.
One private petition from an individual, relates an
act of generosity almost unparalleled in any country.
A person, who will not suffer his name to be men-
tioned, having purchased the property of an Emi-
grant who had been depord, and discovering that lie
had died abroad, leaving his brother destitute, nobly
presents the estate to the rightful heir. The latter
petitions to be permitted to take up his estate as heir
to his Brother, and not as a purchaser, or donade, as
he will thereby, save a large sum in fees.
We apprehend that, upon perusing the article in the
French Papers from Palermo, our Readers will be
convinced that the doom of Joocuist McnoT, the self-
stiled King of Naples, has been finally sealed. The
Sicilians are justly indignant at the idea of their king
supplicating an indemnity for the Crown of Naples.
How did he lose it?—and how did MURAT acquire it?
These questions will, of course, be discussed at the
Congress of Vienna, where the legitimate Sovereign
of Naples will, no doubt, be represented.
By the declaration of the 24th April, alluded to in
the article from Palermo, the King of the two Sicilics
fermally demanded the Crown of Naples, and called
upon the Allied Sovereigns to aid him in recovering it.
PARIS, AUGUST 211.

The Duke of Orleans arrived at Paris to-day, to
be present at the grand City entertainment. His
Serene Highness will set off on Wednesday to meet
the Princess his wife, and the Princess Montpensier,
who are coming hither by slow journies, and by wa-
ter, in consequence of the pregnancy of the former
Lady.

The Duke of Cambridge, the seventh son of his
Majesty the King of England, has also arrived in
Paris.

M. Dubos, Sub-Prefect of Saint Denis, has had
the honour to present to the King a board, on which
are fastened two of the teeth of Henry IV. the whole
of his mustachio, and a small piece of the linen which
covered his body. These precious relics were secur-
ed, when the tombs were ransacked at the revolu-
tion, by the late Sieur Desingy, the Swiss (or Porter)
to the Abbey, who saved them at the risk of his life :
they hare continued until now in the possession of his
widow. On the same board are also placed three of
the teeth of Marshal Turenne. To the persevering
zeal of M. Dubos we are indebted for the preserva.
tion of the Abbey and Church of Saint Denis :—this
splendid monument of antiquity was ordered to be
razed to the ground. On entering upon his func-
tions, the Sub-Prefect removed all the projects for its
destruction, temporized, and succeeded in not only
rreserving the Chula, but in getting it repaired.
The letter from New-York, which we gave a few
days ago, and which stated the submission of Petion
to the Bourbons, came to us from Nantz, and we are
assured that it was written by one of the first mer-
cantile houses in America. It is therefore very likely

to be correct.
There is a black girl, about 20 years of age, ac
cording to her own account, now traversing the de.
partment of the Meuse, furnished with a passport to
tejoin the first regiment of the Old Guard, to which
she has belonged for eight years as a drummer. She
says, that her father lived at Alexandria at the time
of the French Expedition to Egypt. He was made
a Captain of a Corps of black Mamelukes, formed
by Bonaparte, but was killed in one 'of the battles
with the English. This girl was then only six
years of age, and she followed her brotker, a black
Mameluke also, into France. The Duke of Monte•
bello had her baptized at Bourdeaux, three years after
the return from Egypt. by the name of Merle-Vic-

Wire: the sister of General Lagrange was her God.;
mother. Death having deprived her of het protec-
tor:, she enlisted as a drummer, made the campaign
of Russia, and having,received a wound from a lance
in the thigh, was made prisoner. The wound re-
vealed her sex. She was sent to St. Petersburgh, and
she speaks highly of the good treatment she received
there. She returned to France with one of the con-
voys of prisoners of war, and is about to rejoin her
regiment as above stated. This poor creature,
although perfectly illiterate, speaks very good Preach
without any foreign accent. Nothing can equal her
agility and gaiety : on at-riving at St. Mihiel on the
21st of Augrst, she danced at a ball with some young
girls, although she had that day travelled on foot a
double stage, as marked on her route.
