There is no doubt but treaty for Peace
is going on with Bonaparte. The allies have
made a fair triai Of the sentiments Of the
French feofie, and when even their capital
is threatened, and with all the horrors of a
siege, not a poice that we hear of is raised
against him, and they obey him as in the
day of prosperity. The allies are therefore,
it is considered, justified in treating with him,
on conditions that will leave him the crown,
bat will efiectually reduce his power, and
disarm his ambition. An armistice is short-
ly expected.

Dear Father--For the two last days we
have been all anxiety an American captain
returned on parole from the RaDiiics, ~,
few days since, and communicated to Com
motore Decaier, a consultation he had with
crptais Hardy, in which the latter said, that
now two friga,es were off, Of equal force TO
the United States and Macedonian, that he
should have no objection to a meeting taking
place, but that he could not allow the chal-
ienge 10 come from the English commanders"
The hint was embraced in moment, and cap.
toin Biddle dispatched with challenge from
our commsnder SIN the mean tine every pre-
psrs,ion was made, on eur side, ior an im'De-
diate engagement, which we all supposed no
objection could be made to, tho crew of both
ships were called together, and addressed by
ihir commanders, who made known 10 them
the substance of the business then on loot,
they were answered by three hearty cheers.
Capt. Jones concluded his short and pertinent
address in The following words, spoken With
great fnodesty, my lsdA our cruise VIII be
short and trust profitable one" Captain
Biddie went on board the -, signal Was i'm
mediately made for the commanders of the
two English fagwes, and they went on board.
Com. Hardy addressed them, "gentlcmen
here are two letters for you, 1t rests sI,ogeth-
er with you 10 decide on the matter" Stack
pole, Of the Slatira, answered with the great
est airectation, "pon honor, sir, ,isthe most.
acceptable letter ever received" Captain.
Biddle returned, and related the cifcon,star- Z
ces as I have mentioned. For myself 1.

upon the town, with 32-pound shot, and con-
tioued firing for about three hours, when a "a
hove in sight in the Sound-signals passed
between them, and the Ni,Drod ceased firing
and went down to Tarpaulin Cove. When
the Nimrod went off, the inhabitants assem-
bed together, when it was ascertained that no
person was hurt, (in fact it was impossible
for any one to have been hurt, as all the iR-
