Paris, and was, of course; the subject of general
conversation ; and it was in the best-informed circles,
and amongst those who declared themselves not to be
friends to the DEcAzas, that the honourable eulo-
gium I have given was pronounced.
" Long, therefore, may his Majesty Louts XVIII,
possess so enlightened and virtuous a Minister ; and
may his union with the rich and beautiful heiress of,
the Duchess of BRUNSWICK, be a source of domestic
happiness to relieve his mind, distracted with the im-
portant concerns of State, and restore that harmony
of soul necessary for creating those brilliant concep-
tions and that profound wisdom, which has hitherto
marked the career of his Excellency."

Two Mails have arrived from Malta and Gibral-
tar, by his Majesty's ship WASP and the Walsingham
racket.

The letters from Gibraltar come down to the 28th
of July, and we are happy to find, notwithstanding
the heat continned, that the inhabitants remain per.
fectly healthy, though they have suffered conside-
rably in their trade, in consequence of the severe,
but very proper, restrictions imposed by the Gover-
nor to prevent the introduction of the plague from the
African coast. The intercourse with Barbary is,
.completely interrupted ; but in order to facilitate the
correspondence of the European Consuls, who are
there, with their respective Governments, the Cover-
ner sends to Tangiers every five days a ship, well
armed, to receive letters, which are afterwards puri-
fied at Gibraltar, in a small detached house which
the Governor has constructed for the purpose. Every
ship trading between Gibraltar and the Spanish coast
is obliged to give security to the amount of its cargo
to observe, in the harbours of Spain, the sanatary
regulations which are established there, and which
are equally strict with those in force at Gibraltar.

Letters received this ,morning from St. Thomas's,
dated the 15th July, state, that according to the last
accounts from the Main, Admiral BRION was at
Angustura with his fleet, and that the Patriotic cause
was not in so good a state as had been anticipated.
The United States sloop of war Hornet had arrived
at Angustura, having on board a Commissioner from
the American Government. The Commissioner had
several interviews with BOLIVAR, but the subject of,
his mission had not transpired, although it was sup-
posed to be of the utmost importance, from the se-
crecy observed. This account is in complete contra-
diction with the report of Bolas,An% death.

We have received this morning American Papers,
but not of a later date than those previously received :

FROM THE QULEEC MERCURY OF JULY 30.

It is said that General Jackson has taken Pensa-
cola by storm. If this be true, the Americans Demon
of Discord has set boundaries at defiance, and boldly
passed the Rubicon. Alas, poor Spain, bow art
thou fallen ; plucked at on all sides, thy plumes fall
from thee like rotten branches from a withered tree !
Are the strides of the United States then to be per-
mitted without counteraction? Time will shew--:

look to thy Islands, John Bulk—Jonathan has long
legs and long arms, he will not have far to stretch
them from the Florida:, should he feel disposed to
trouble thy sugar and coffee plantations; he has
ships and commerce, he wants but colonies, and they
are at his door ; his navy is every day growing in
strength, while the reduction is the universal cry in
Europe. In extent of compact territory, how few
ate the Powers that can compare with him ? In in-
crease of population none. If he do not divide him-
I self, he must become a Goliah of strLgth.

We have extracted from the American Papers of
the preceding year two letters written by the unfor-
tunate ARBUTHNOTT. They are not very important
in themselves, but we think they are evidence of the
peaceful habits of this man, and of the temper and
propriety by which his conduct was dictated. It is
remarkable that the first of these is characterised by
the American Editor as " the most impudent thing
he ever saw r and that, in commenting on the second,
Anaumsovr is confounded with, or supposed to be
the same person as, Captain WOODBINE, an Officer
who served under Major lireor.xs in Florida. We
also subjoin a third letter written by ARBUTHNOTT in
the name of ASSONEY, one of the Indian Chiefs,
which testifies an anxiety on the part of the rulers of
the Upper Creek nation to preserve the peace of their
respective districts :

A. ARIUTHROTT TO TIIE COMMANDIVO OFFICER AT FORT CAPITA.
" Okolokne River, March 3, 1817.

" The Head Chiefs request I will inquire of you why Ameri-
can settlers are descending the Chatahouchie, driving the poor In-
dian from bit habitation, and taking possession of his home and
cultivated fields. Without authority, I can claim nothing from
you; but a humane and philanthropic principle guiding me, I
hope the same will influence you; and if such is really the cue,
and that the line marked out by the Treaty of Peace between
Great Britain and the United States, respecting the Indian Na-
tions, has been infringed by any of the citizens of the latter, you
will represent to them their improper conduct, and prevent its
continuance. . .

4, I have in my possession a letter received from the Gover-
nor of New Providence, addressed to him by his Britannic Ala-
jesty's Chief Secretary of State, informing him of orders given
to the British Ambassador at Washington, to watch over the in-
terests of the Indian Nations, and see their rights are faithfully
attended to and protected, agreeably to the Treaty of Peace
made between the British and the Americans.
4, I am in hopes, that ere this there is arrived at New Provi-
dence a person from Great Britain, with authority to act as
Agent for the Indian Nations; and if so, it will devolve upon
him to see that the boundary lines, as marked out by the Treaty,
are not infringed."

When the Englith made peace with the Americana, they
