From the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, and Ger-
man Papers of various dates, which arrived last night.
we have given copious extracts in our preceding
columns.—The result of the first scrutiny for the Elec-
tion of Deputies for the Department of the Seine, has I
decided the election of M. LASITTE, who is the only
candidate that has as yet obtained the requisite majo-
rity of votes. Seven Deputies, therefore, still remain,
to be timed, and as many more scrutinies may take,
place before the Election is completed. each scrutiny
being in fact a new Election, in which the votes may
be entirely recast, subject to this limitation only, that
no new Candidate can he received. On I!,oking over
the names of the remaining thirty-seval Candidates
with whom the competition now rests, it is remark.

pretty convincing proof that the majority of the men
of property and education are attached to liberal
doctrines, a fact full of comfortable assuraoce, since
it is quite certain that no country can be long go-
verned in a manner contrary to the wishes of the
great body of its wealthy and enlightened citizens.
Among individuals named but not voted for by any
body, is General Fort; an Officer of high military
character, but a sworn friend of --RANAPARTZ. It may
be regarded, we think, as a circumstance of no trifling
import, that such An individual should have been pro.
posed. without being able to boast of obtaining a riagk
vote. It can hardly fail to inspire very pleasing expeeta-
tions as to the conduct of tbuie who are carrying.the

suffrages of the people ; since tnrell were it true. as
has been calumniously insinuated, that a Bonapartean
spirit prevailed, his military favourites could not fail
to have obtained some more partial notice from their
approving countrymen.
A private letter from Petersburgh, shich we have
extracted from these Papers, asserts that Russia is
endeavouring to engage all the Luropean Powers to
enter into a league for the extirpation of pirates
throughout the what known world. It we did not
know that not only the European, but all the civi.
tilted Powers in the world, are iiiready to aged in
ouch a league, by the common law of nations, quite
as expressly and perhaps as effectually as they
could be by any parchmented alliance for the purpose,
we might think there was some promise of good in
such a project ; but as matters are, we see in it only
another proof of that accelerating tenden' y to take a
lead in vast and novel designs, wl:ich, it cot checked,
will, it is but too probable, end in making Russia
the Dictator, not of Europe alone, but of the whole
world. If any nation is more called upon than ano-
ther to stand foremost in such a league, that nation
is most assuredly not Russia. As we have.•already
hinted, however, we see no object to be served by such
a league, which will nut be I ully as well tffected by
a vigilant perseverance on the part di each nation in
that common proscription to which the universal con•
sent of the civilized world has already consigned those
who, abjuring all country, all law, all restraint, but
that of force, claim nothing but extirpation as their
meed.

We have to-day received Philadelphia Papers to
the 20th ult.

The latest intelligence quoted in these Papers from
Amelia Island states, that the force under General
M•GnEcoa had diminished to about 130 men, and
that numbers were daily deserting his standard.—
The following is given as a probable vi:w of the
calms of this defection :
" His adherents have been, no doubt, banded to-
gether from quite different principles of ccnduct—
some from a TCLLiCSS spirit c,f adventure, a few lion)
the desire of distinction and from the enthusiasm na-
turally felt by the ardent and inexperienced ler the
cause of the Patriots, but the larger part from the
prospect of immediate gain. The General's inaction
(perhaps unavoidable) has blasted all these hopes.—
The enthusiasm of cue part of his followets must
have cooled; the cupidity of anothei been without
objects to gratify the spirit of adventure; left without
-stimulus and immediate hope, and the passion for a
name among a few of his band blasted in its fresh
and early promise. A Chief, situated as was the
General, it time is suffered to steal upon him, is lost;
his laurels must wither, and his influence among his
followers perish. The least pause in his movemeuts
robs him of his resources. His policy is constantly
to hold out to his partisans, objects to seduce, to
dazzle, to stimulate their passions, and inspire them
with renovated hope."
The tollowirg are other extracts:
" PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST so.

" Extract of a letter from an Officer in the Pa-
triotic army, dated Fernandina, August 8, 1817:
A detachment oi lot ty Indians has made their ap-
