A Mail arrived from Hambugh lait

Of the cnemy's country, and the follow

have adopted the manner and ftyle of the
regulations which French Generals ufcd
10 levy in foreign countries. Even in
Sweedifh Pomeranio, when friendly, the
FIR General told the Governor, the coun.
try mutt provide for the gallo troops
tina. it was the French maxim, that where
the army was it mutt be fupported.
Private letters from Paris fate, how
truly we know not, that the French have
agreed to contribution in payment of the
cx2enfes faaained by the Allies during
this war, to be levied in four years. = W.
recollea that when Junot entered Porgu
gal, he at once opprefIcd that pcople
"frappoif," was the word in rhe BlNa
feur) by requiftion of one hundred mil
lions of francs, above four millions fer
ling. 1t was at the beginning of July,
1857 that the treaty Of rilft was con-
cluded, every fpecies of extortion and
rapine was afterwards exerciled on the
PrulIians for a year and half Their
fovereign was fubjecred to all the infult
that oppreflcd greatness could fuitain from
vulgar infolence, inflated by almoff un-
bounded power. On the 2oth of No
vember, of 1903, the convention of Berlin
was Ggned for the evacuation of the Pruf-
Gan States but Bonaparte itili retained
polleiiion of Stcttin, Cuftrin, and Glogan,
in order to enforce payment of the con
tfibutions which he pretended 20 be due
to him.
An idea is held out that Bonaparte will
be fcnt to St. Helena. This iiland is one
entire rock, about 20 miles in circumfer
encc, immenciy itrep above the fea, the
waves of which dash conftantly upon IT,
There is only one landing place at Chap
el Valley Bay, and this is ftrongly de-
Tended by batteries, the guns of which
are level with the jea. The iland is in
fcifed with rats, which commit the mott
dreadful deftruaion otherwise it pro-
duces corn and fruit, and abounds in
game. By the poHeflion of the Cape it
IS nolonger viGsed by our India fhips, and
but for this new viftor it would have
fallen into total decay.
