ty, and that thus they might pave the
way for the approach and re-establish

influence that the example of Paris has
always had on the conduct of the rest OF
France. ).
The Convention for the surrender OF
Paris had scarcely been ratified, and the
terms Of it known in the French army,
than desertion had began to thin its ranks
rapidly, and before it had reached its
destination behind the Loire, it was ex-
pected to be reduced one third. Any
effectual resistance it cannot be expect
ed to make, forit is cut off from all the
fortresses, and from the other French ar
mics. Besides, the other allied armies
are fast approaching. Wrede, with so,
900 BaYarians, was expected in a few
days.
Gen. Rey, who commands Valenci-
ennes, is an old aid-de-camp of Bona
parties, and the same who defended st.
SEBASTIAN with so much obstinacy, until
the place was taken by storm BY Gen.
Graham. 1t is somewhat remarkable,
that gen. Lauriston, who has summoned
Valenciennes in the name of Louis 49,,
was also one Of Bonaparte's aids-de
camp.
s,y letters from Brussels we learn, that
the Prince of Orange was so perfectly
recovered of his wound, as to determine
him to set out to join the Duk of Wei
hagtoa on Thursday last.-The Marquis
of Anglesea was also so we'll as to be actu-
ally trying the use of his crutches in his
room.

timony of their gratitude for the exer-

Accounts have been received from Car
thagena of the defeat of the Algerine fleet
by the American squadron under Com.
Decatur. :he action, which took place
on the Goth June, lasted two hours. The|
Algerine frigate Mezoura, 40 guns, is
taken and carried into Carthagena. She
was commanded by the admiral Of .aigi-
ers, who was Killed. Next morning be-
tween Que and two o'clock, another Al
gerine frisate was driven on shore by the
Americans near st. Xavier, three leagues
to the east of Carthagena. The crew
escaped on shore, aud pursued by the
Spanish peasants, who had taken some
of them when the accounts came away
A corvette was chased aud would proba-
bly, be taken.
Sunday, at o'clock, the gallant mar
quis of ttnglesea (earl of Tx idge) hav-
inS been landed til 3 morning at Deal
from the admiralty yacht, arrived at Sto-
rey's Gate, which, though the entrance
for the royal family only into that part of
st. James's Park, was previously thrown
open, that by the avoiding of the pave
ment, the wounded hero might be con-
veyed with az little Inconvenience asI
possible to Uxbridge House; the people
soon recognized him, and instantly tax
ing the horses from the carriage, con-
structed it so that he might sit or reclinei
at ease, drew him from the Park amidst
an aecumulatlng populace, who rent the
air with their fond and joyous acclama-
tons. His lordship looked remarkably
well, considering all his privations and
suHerings, returning the tumultuous graz
tulations of his countrymen with the most
animatin- hilarity.
But where is Bonaparte all this while {?
He hopes to escape during all this hustle
ana confusion. On the G5th of last month
he applied to the provisional government
for two frigates, which were granted tot
him, and he solicited passports for Anne
RIGA from the duke of Wellington. His
grace's answer was, that he had no au-
thority whatever from his government to-
give any answer whatever to his demand.
No passport was of course granted him.
