NEW-YORK, JUNE 55.
Captain Sherman arrived at Baltimore from the
Mediterranean, informs, that the 4lgerinei are still
festive, and have only arced with Commodore Shaw
of observe the Treaty With the .United Stat«s for
three months. If a fleet 'is not sent to the Mediter-
ranean sufficient to attack Algiers, and compel them
tti keep the peace, there will be more of out citizens
in olavery there before tall. Small vessels are of great
importance in those seas, (if ordered to cruise in
summer instead of lying in pore). for our large ships
can watch the movements of their large ships, but
not of their small ea alt. He remembers when the
schooner Enterprise was in the Mediterranean in the
Tripolitan .war, that the Tripolitaits approached no
nearer to a sail when they discovered her to be a,
schooner. The Enterpt;ze made a cru;ze down on the
coast of Morocco, as far as Salley and La Nash, and
prevented several marauders !rum fitting out of those
ports against the Americans.
Captain Brooks, arrived at Charleston, informs,
that just before he left Hrvannah, an elegant armed
Spahish brig, with +OO slaves, arrived there from
Afeca, having had an engagement off G.lli.nna
with a British slurp of war, which she beat off, alter
a short action of one hour and R halts in which the
sloop of •war suffered very severely. The circum-
stance had very much elated the people at Havan-
nah, as the brig was officered and panned entirely
by Spaniards.

irwenty persons were arraigned before our Court
of Assiaes for having, at the deplorable epoch when.
the Duke of Augouleme was obliged to quit Frattte,
in 1815, assassinated, in the vill4ge of Arpaillarges,
some Royal volunteers who had followed the arms
of the Prince.
• The most atrocious cruelties acconspanied this
crime. Among the accused•were two women, dis-
tinguished for their wickedness in this frightful
scene. Armed with iron forks, they had amused
themselves by burying them in the head and intestines
of the unfortunate Men. 011 C of them had a daugh.
ter about thirteen or fourteen years of age, whom she
excited to strike and mutilate the unhappy wretches.
The absolute deuials and sangfroid of these women
were remarked with Astonishment.
After• nine days trial and a deliberation of the

Jury, which lasted 16 hoots, tbe Court concknuied
to death the eight fullow-ing, viz. Jealate Ver2.lts,
-Jean Britton, Jacques Boisson, Eliz theth 13istide,
widow of Boucciiran, Jacque.; lteboul, Pierre Room
erre, Jean Blancher, and M aLieu Striati. A ninth,
wanted Jran Jacques Barri, was L.-,ndernned to perpe-
toal'hard labour, and to be branded with a hot iron.
This sentence was pronounced before an itinonit table
crowd of people, tilled the Hall and all the
avenues, and was heard without the slightest trken
of approbation or disapprobation being manitested.

" PARIS, MT 20.
Sir Robert Wilson and his companions will be
liberated on Monday neat, the 224 the term of their
sentence expiring on that day.
The following extracts of pria-44-e letters, will give
you some idea of the state of the Departments: -
" Angers (on the Loire )
44 We daily witness the most scandalous and out.
rageous scenes. exhibited by the phrenzy of the Ultra.
Royalists. The soldiers of the 94 battalion of the
.3d regiment of the Royal Guard, which is organising
here, insult, provoke, and mellst all classes of indi.
Viduals. The main occupation of these soldiers is to
loiter ahout the streets in parties, wantonly compelling
any of the inhabitants they meet to cry out Vier Zr
R•i 1 Two of them lately assassinated the son of a
toaster mason, who had ventured to defy their threats.
Upon the unfortunate father of this youth preferring
his complaint to the Provost, he was told by the lat-
ter that his son was a disaffected subject, an avowed
Bonapartist, and that he must seek consolation in the
consideration that such opinions would sooner or later
have brought his parents into trouble, from which
they were preserved by this event. •
f• In this state of exasperati.,n, parties are, as it

were, drawn up in pretence of each other, and,:one
- may add, have already come to arms ; fur, in Order
to avoid a general affray, the Authorities have beet
under the necessity {lf tolerating a combat of twelve
eltampinns of one party against an equal number of
the other. The Prefect of the Department and the
Mayor of the town assisted afthis chivalrous combat.
Its issue proving fatal to the Ultras, they are silenced
for the moment. Men of temperate principles are
truly unfortunate in having to administer in such
.times. Of that number may be accounted our pre-
sent Prefect. M. de Wismes. ftVe should be unjust
in not bearing testimony to tie exertions, however
fruitless, he has made to maintain tranquillity in the
department. Some of the neighbouring departments
in a situation still More calamitous than ours, have to,
envy us the possession of a Magistrate thus disposed.
Here, as in many other places, the action ut Govern-
'Lora -seems twofold. There is that of the Ministry
and that of the Princes, and the subject is hat used
and perplexed between these distracting Powers."
" Yillefranche (on the Mont).
" I informed you lately of the arbitrary and violent
proceedings-,of the Authorities and Ultra-Royalists
of this town during the fetes of Whitsuntide. &ince
then fresh excesses have put our forbearunve to an-
other trial. The 16th June was the-day appointed
for the consecration of the colours of the National
Guard, and for the inauguration of the King's bust
in this town. A deputation of the National Guard
of Lyons, commanded by M. de Savaron,_ repaired
hithe? to assist at this ceremony. Our inhabitants
erhkbitcd but little warmth on the occasion, and every
thing bespoke a fete little remarkable for brilliancy
Of joy. M. de Savaron rode through the streets,
followed by his detachment and a train of gendarmes
and agents of the police, repeatedly addressing the
peOple in these energetic terms The infamous
burtapartiats who do not illuminate, shall have four
preirsairei quartered upon them to•morrow, and
shall see their house! given up tp pillage.'—This
sufficed to produce a general and instantaneous illu.

", Instead rif Istcnieon't condition having been, as
was 611ppOied by a fete; considerably ameliorated.by
the change of Government, some additional restric7
tions were judged necessary to be laid on. These for
some days produced an unpleasant effect on his mind,
and were probably the cause of his confining himself
closely to his chamber for several days. He has,
however, been seen within a few days back, driving
in his carriage, and occasionallr riding With his ac-
customed velocity within his limits, as be most raii-
gingsly peroSts in his retaliation f not riding out
with a British Officer. •

“ A letter, purporting to be written from Saint
Helena, has appeared in some of the public. Papers
which have lately reached this Island ; and were it
not, that a few of the Circumstances mentioned in it,
have a distant relation to what really occurred,
thOugh miserably garbled and scandalously misrepre-
sented, one would suppose that it never was the pro-.
duction of a person resident in St. Helena; as one
would imagine that an inhabitant, or even a tempo-
rary sojourner, would have had opportunities, of
learning anecdotes le►s distantly removed irons the
truth, than those which form the subject of it.

64, The author of the letter in question is so grossly
ignorant of that which he pretends to relate with
great accuracy, that he does not even know the name
of the Officer on duty at Longwood. In the best
place no such circumstance occurred as Bonaparte's
ordering Captain Poppleton to ride in the rear, and
that the privilege of riding abreast of him was not
,for him. Neither did he (the Captain) refuse to. ac-
company Napoleon nut the following day, or apprise
him that he intended for the future to ride with him
in uniform. The assertion of Captain Poppleton
having taken the precaution of sleeping in a room
through which Bonaparte must necessarily pass on
his way to his own, is too ridiculous to need contra-
diction, were it not that sucke statement, it left "nn-
contradicted, might with a few affectithe reputation
of a most respectable English Officer, who has always
performed the unpleasant duties of his situation in
the most,delicate manner. •
6, The statement respecting the Polish Captain is
equally false, and more scandalous. Instead of Na-
poleon having 'turned his back upon him (the Polish
Captain), and asked Las CISSili g who that man was?'
he received him in the must polite manner, and con-
versed with him upwards of two hours. Immediately
after this Napoleon dispatched one of his suite to,ask
blur what he stood in need of—money, clothes, linen?
with directions if he had none of the latter clean after
so lottg a voyage, to furnish him with some of Ms own.
To this was added an order tor MO or iILSO, which
was immediately paid. He also had him to dinner
with him for several days after.
" Equally true with the above-mentioned letter,
' are those which state that Napoleon eats a &sale fig,
smothered with onions, for breakfast ; and eight fowl:
for dinner ! The writers of such falsehoods, must
either be inconceivably silly, or have most contemp-
cit3ii opinions of the understandings of those to whom
they address them; however they seem to be greedily
swallowed by some of the Journalists. This circum.
stance drew from Bonaparte one day a rinnark, Mat
he supposed the Editors of some of the English Papers
would make him eat a live bull at one meal, horns
and all / This anecdote I have heard from a person
who was present. .
" Sometime back, Sir H. and' Lady D. Mrs.
M.Clintock, Mrs. Wetherall, with several other Ladies
and Gentlemen, were introduced to him ib the gar.
den, to all of whom he was extremely affable, end
they departed highly pleased with their reception.
When it was mentioned to him. afterwardier that the
Lacks were Particularly gratifiedvand that they were
surprised to find him so different a person from what
he had been represented, he is said to have replied
laughing, suppose they imagined that I waveome
strange kind of animal with two great horni sticking
out of my head.'

66 It haa Web asserted that he has frequently re.
ailed the memory of Kleber, and even by some that
he had eatve4l his. assassination. Quite the contrary
would appear from. the very handsome manner in
which he speaks,of him. A short time back he ex-
pressed himself in the following manner:—, If Kleber
had lived, the English would never have taken Egypt
with an army without cavalry and few artillery. The
Turks were nothing.' • Kleber, Kieber,' repeated he,
was an irreparable. loss ap France aid to me. He was
a man of the brightest talents, and a General of the
greatest bravery.'—.r blenott,' he observed, 6 was a
brave man, but destitute of talent.'
0 The friends aid relatives of the late lamented Sir
John Moore, would probably be not displeased ,to
hear the following tribute of applause paid to his
memory, by an enemy whose capacity to judge need
not be pointed out :—• Moore,' said Bonaparte, • was
a brave soldier,' an excellent racer. and a man of
talent. He made a few mistakes, which were pro-
bably inseparable from the difficulties by which he
was surrounded, and most likely caused by the in-
correctness of .his infortnation having misled him.'—
This he repeated, observing, • that Moore had com-
manded the reserve in Egypt, where he evinced con-
siderable talent.' • He died,' added he, • gloriously;
he died like a soldier.' Speaking about St. Helena,
he observed, • that such was the deplorable state of
the Island. that the inhabitants considered the als:
since of actual want, or the lack of starvation, as the
greatest blessing.' For example,' said he, p--..
went the other day to It--s, and there they said
to him," "Oh, how happy you must be to have
,fresh.
meat every day at dinner Oh if we could but
tojay 04 how happy we should be.'
66 It was stated, some time back, that Napoleon's,
maitre d'lmtel, and others ut his suite, had signed a
paper (pursuant to orders received from England,
either to do that or quit St. Helena) purporting their
willingness to remain, and submit to such restrictions
as it might be thought necessary to impose upon
them. The fgllowing is an abstract of that paper:
6 We, the undersigned, wishing to remain in the ser-
vice of the Emperor Napoleon, consent,. however
dreadful may be the abode of Sielena,lo.remain in
it, submitting ourselves to such restrictions. however
arbitrary and unjust they may be. which have been
imposed upon the Emperor Ind the persons la his
service."

Their Editors are eager to make us believe that the
French 'are on the best possible terms with the Bar-
bary Powers, and this without having a fleet present
to thastise them. The reason given by the Firach
literati, (for we regard the Civita Vecchia letters as a
Parisian fabrication) why the pirates look thus favour-
ably on the French nation, is laughable in. the ex-
treme :—they re...pect the doctrine of legitimacy

lity of France.
