The cutter Flying Fish of this port, sailed
from the port of Beaufort, IN. c. on the 2Ist
of Marc last, bound to Gibraltar; it was be-
lieved that she must have been captured by
the Algerines,- or had foundered at sea, until
yesterday, when letters were received, an
nouncing her arrival at port in Norway,
having gone round the Orkney and Shetland
Islands, and arrived at Christian Sound in SO
days at the same time those on board were
under the impression that they were pursuing
the voyage to Gibraltar AS the captain and
officers are said to be skilful hatigators, this
singular mistake is to be ascrbed to some
cause, which, when known, will put other
navigators on their guard.

his aids-de-camp colonel Jones and major
Frazier, arrived at this village on Tuesday

Extract of a letter dated

Dublin, LIST Sept, 1915.
If the war had cost the United States
five times the sum it has done, the advan-
tages she has gained by itwould be chesply
purchased. for it WAS very generally sup
posed Ill Earope even by her friends, tina
her government was too weak to stand a
war, but very different sentiment now
prcvails-Not only with respect to the
stability and efficiency of her political in
stitutions, but with regard to her power
Instead of being held in CONTEMPT as she
was priorto the war, she is now respected,
envied and cordially hated for her veto
ries, particularly those of her navy. Those
victories have diminished in estimation the
naval power of England more than one
half. 1t is now discovered that there must
be men as we'll as Shihs to form navy,
and nothing can prevent America from
having in few years number of the for
mer adequate to man navy equal to any
in the world. The taxes arc becoming so
enormous here that no common trade or
industry can bear them ;; to enable the peo-
pie to pay them we mast have monopoly
OF commerce This will be the eternal aim
OF government, and although we may lie
quet for while, depend upon it, it will
not be long before you see new Sncroach-
ments and new wars. America can main
tain the respect she now commands, only
by being constantly prepared to immedi-
ately resist injury when it is inflicted and
not to procrastinate as formerly. You will
learn by our public papers the occurrences
in France. The OLD soyereigns are doing
all they can to extinguish the last spark of
liberty in that country, and consequently
IN Europe-And it is much to be feared
they will be only too successful, yet there
is much tor them to do b fore they accom-
plIsh it.
The Federalists have disgraced them
selves JoreUeT' by their conduct during the
war. They want little of our taxation
to open their eyes" Dem. Press.

THE F.gTE OF .MURaT.

TRANSLATED FOR THE BALTIMORE
PATRIOT, FROM THE FLORENCE CA
zETTE, OF OCT. 81, RECEIVED By
THE GENERAL JACKSON, FROM LEG
HORN.
Joachim Murat having 1ed last May
from Naples, sought ~ ASYLUM in Fran e
where the sudden appearance Of Napo-
leon seemed to elevate his mind to new
hopes.
After the events, which took place in
consequence OF the battle of Waterloo,
Murat rema ned in Provence less with
the intention of there finding security, than
to excite anarchy among the inhab rants
OF those departments, and thus to reltin-
die the fame of civil war already eXtin-
gushed.
The progress of the allied arms, and
the devotion Of Toulon and Marseilles to
their legitimate sovereign, compelled that
general to leave France. The police Of
Naples, which had constantly followed his
footsteps during the whole time he had
remained in the French territory, did
not lose sight Of him when he left that
coast.
Murat went to Corsica there he was re-
ceived by SignOr Colonna Ceccaldi, Mayor
OF Vescovato.
The appearance Of a fugitive general ex
cited the attention and vigilance of the mil =.
itary commander Of the island, who soon
had reason to be convinced that the new
guest had come there for the purpose Of
completing the new Vaccinations which he
revolvcd in his mind.
Y scovato became the headquarters If
all the Corsicans who had served in Ma
pies under the command Of Gen. Murat,
who, in violation the law Of nations, had
it in contemplation to surprize Bastia, and
thus attempt to disturb the tranquility of
that island, which had already peacefully
submitted to The dominion of the BOur-
| bons.
On the 18th Of Sent. proclamation by
| Signor ChevalIer Nerrier, commandant
adinterim Of that military division, made
known the secret Of the fugitive general to
the deceived inhabitants, and denounced
as traitors and rebels, all such as received
| pay from Murat, who then took refuge in
| Ajaccis, wherc he continued to enlist people
to the number Of 600.
| IN the mean time, divers public pasers
| announced, that the generosity Of the allies
had offered 20 that General an asylum in
Germany, under the protection of his ma
jesty the emperor of Austria and king of
! Bonemia; that he with his family, might
make choice Of a residence in one of the
cities Of MoTaSia, of Bohemia, or Of Upper
Ausiri,, and there live in tranquility as a
simple inliyiduA! T.; in fine, that an English

will no doubt attract The attention os tie
executive, and receive the appropriate re
medy. The message of the Governor Of
South Carolina brings the latter class Of in
truders immediately into view. A due re-
gard TO the execution of the laws, as well
as proper degree of respect to the official
declaration of the executive magistrate of
that state, will doubtless claim the earliest
attention of the executive.
Whilst the law will be rigidly enforced "a
gainst intruders upon the public lands, it is
understood that every exertion will be made
to bring into the market, within the shortest
possible period, that part of the cession OBJ
tanned from the Greek Indians, lying be-
tween the Southern boundary of the Misss-
slppI Territory, and line running due
East from the North East point of the
Choctaw purchase, to the Chatahoochie ri
yer. 1t is probable that this district of
country may be brought into the market in
the months of April or Nay next. In the
mean time the lands lying on the Pascagou-
la and Pearl rivers are now offered at sale,
and may be lawfully settled. The imme-
date settlement of those lands, and the
purchase of the district Of c untry above
eesciibed, as soon as it shall be Altered for
sale, will, in conjunction with the settle
'''~'sNS "a OSOi VI SSlliCu
country from the Mississippi to the Allan
tic Ocean, which will separate all the
Southern Tribes of Indians within our linn
IFS from the Spanish posts and settlements.
This Gordon of settlements, if the express
sion may be allowed, will secure the future
tranquility of the Southern section of the u
States from Inaian hos,ilities, by prevent
ing the access of English or Spanish agents
to their towns and councils
In the mean time proper exertions will
be made to bring the remainder of the
public lands in the Southern Section of the
Union, as well as in the Northern and Yves
tern, into the market as soon as pr ssble. -
The military lands viii in a short time, be
placed in situation to be settled The ia
cilities thus afforded fer acquiring posses
sions in the countries recently coded to the
United States. will afford, to every man de-
sirous of purchasing, an opportunity to sat-
isfy his reasonable desires. The excuse for
intrusion has never been entitled to consid-

on the 18th June last, for the trial of the Of

stated, among other things. that the Constitn-
