THE LITTLE BELT.

Extract Of letter from Halifax, June IA.
"There is no doubt that the account
published the day after the arrival of the
Little Belt, respecting her contest with
the frigate President, is in the main par.
ticulars, such as Capt. Bingham, and the
officers of the former, warranted by their
statements, still adhere to, and will write
home. If they are wrong, they will COM
nit themselves to their government.
81 board of enquiry was appointed &
sit on the 29th of May, and one of, the
officers who composed it has been heard to
say, that they examined the officers of the
ship, man by man, alone, and that he was
thoroughly convinced the President fred

THE failure Of the house OF Pierlot ana
Co. at Paris, has deeply affected seserai
of the generals and creatures OF bona
parte. This concern was ineontestibiy
the richest in specie of any in Paris. anu
It was even supposed in the world. Some
estimate of its wealth and presumed sta
bility may be made from this circumstance
that the notorious Bourienne deposited
nearly half million sterling in it, the
fruits of his corruption and exactlons
while he was in Office in Hamburger. The
house of Pierlot was, in fact, the depot
for the produce of all the robberies that
the military ruffians, miscalled marshals
and generals, in Bonaparte's employment,
have committed upon the wretched inha-
bitants Of the continent. The affairs OF
this house are expected to turn out very
ill. They had specialized largely upon the
success of the invasion Of the Peninsula =.
The ponderous subject Of the Bullion is

Mr.. Whitbread gave an important no
