DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
Washington, 15 th July, 1822.
The following is a copy and transla
tion of the decision of his Imperial Ma
jesty, the Emperor of the all Rnssius,up
on the question submitted to him by the
government* of the United States and of
Great Britain, by virtue of the Conven
tion of the 20th of October, 1818, of
the true intent and meaning of that part
of the first article of the treaty of Ghent,
by which it was stipulated that u all ter
ritory, places, and whatso
ever, taken by cither party from the
other, during the war, or which might
be taken after the signing of the said
Treaty,excepting only the islands there
inafter mentioned, should be restored
without delay, and without causing any
destruction, or rarying away any of the
artillery, or other public property ori
ginally captured in said forts or pla
ces, which should remain therein upon
the exchange of the ratifications of the
said Treaty, or any slaves, or other pri
vate prop® ty.”

Speech of the King of France.
Speech pronounced by his Majesty, upon
ope •int' the Session of the Chambers
“ (senilemrn —The necessity which
has long been felt of liberating tin* li- |
nancial administration from those pro- ]
visional measures to "which it has been |
« *cessary hitherto to recur, has deter- ,
mined me, this year to anticipate the ,
period of calling you together. In ex- ,
acting from you this new sacrifice, I re- ,
ly upon your zeal, and upon that de
votion of which you have given me so
many proofs.
** Providence has preserved the infant
wh.rh if lias given to us, and it is a
pleasing thought to imagine that he is
denied te repair the losses and the mis
fortunes winch have befallen my family
and my people.
“ I have the satisfaction to announce
to you, that my relations with Foreign
Powers continue to be of the most ami
cable description, A perfect unanimi
. ty has influenced the efforts,
between my Allies and myself, to put
an end to the calamities which oppress 1
the East, and which afllict humanity. ]
1 cherish the hope of seeing tranquility l
restored in those countries without the ]
occurrence of a new war to aggravate i
their miseries. i
“ The naval force which I maintain !
in the Levant has accomplished its de- j
stination, by protecting my subjects, & i
by affording aid to the unfortunate, I
whose gratitude ha* been the reward of
our solicitude.
“ I have adopted precautions which
have kept from our frontiers the conta- i
C'on which has ravaged a part of Spain. (
The present season does not permit that 1
We should relax these precautions, and i
*1 shall therefore continue them as long (
as the safety of the country may re- I
quire it. Malevolence alone can disco- (
ver in these measures a motive foreign <
.•to my real intentions.
M Rash enterprises have disturbed in .
v ) *
•otne parts of the kingdom public tran
quility ; but they have only served to
display more signally, the zeal of the
magistrates and the fidelity of the
troops. If a small number of indivi
duals who are the enemies of order,
view, with despair, our institutions con
solidated and rendering a new support
to the Throne, my people abhor their
criminal designs. I shall take care that
violence does not deprive them of the
privileges they enjoy
u Positive calamities, though exagge
rated by fear, have recently desolated
the departments contiguous to the capi
tal. The aid of public and private be
nevolence has, however, mitigated them.
The activity of the inhabitants shorten
ed the duration of these disasters; au
thority seconded their zeal; justice will
punish the guilty.
u The exact state of the debt arric
ree is at length ascertained, and will be
submitted to you. This debt, whose
origin is in times happily far removed
from us, and whose liquidation has de
veloped its full extent, will retard, for
the present year, in spite of my most
deep regrets, a .part of those ameliora
tions of which the various brandies of
the public revenue will be susceptible.
“ The advantages we have already
obtained, should encourage us to perse
vere for their maintenance and increase.
I rely upon your aid to secure, in our
beautiful country, that prosperity which
Providence designs for us; this is the
wish of my heart; the incessant ob
ject of my thoughts ; it is the consol
ing idea which alleviate the recollection
of my pains, and which embellishes the
anticipations of the future.”
London June 6.
The rumoured Congress at the city
of Florence is mentioned in Paris with
increasing confidence; but the sover
eigns of which this assemblage will be
composed, are not even affected to be
known. That Russia and Austria
would bo principals » obvious: what
other potentates might be invited to as
sist the council of Legitimacy, no con
jecture is yet hazarded. If such as
semblage be really held, it may be
hoped that the results of the delibera
tions will be more conducive to the
permanent U inquility of Europe than
those of the memorable Congress at
Vienna, Mr. Do Tutiscbeff is repre
sented as remaining at Petersburgh,
without any appearance of the negotia
tion having terminated. From that
circumstance peace is inferred, and the
Austrian Mi talliques hear a better price.
At Paris,and in London, the expecta
tion is for peace. The obstacle to pub
licly promulgating an event which can
not but give satisfaction to the monied
interests, is nevertheless yet involved
in mystery. From Bucherest we learn,
that the Asiastic troops spread havoc
and destruction at eyerv point within
the spheres of their retreat; but that
the inhabitants could not divest them
selves of apprehension that they might
yet return. The mutual atrocities of
Turks and Greeks give a character of
sanguinary ferocity to the contest, alto
gether disgusting. At Scip, the streets
are said to have been covered wilh ma
ny thousands of dead Greeks, in which
were comprehended, as well females as
males. If in the capture of the place
4000 of the assailants were destroyed,
that obstinate resistance may account
in some degree for the extent of massa
cre—nor have we any reason to doubt
that the vengeance of the Greeks, if
successful, had been ecpially sanguina
ry. It must, however, be remembered
that the Greeks have been groaning un
der the yoke of oppression during three
centuries, and of the many anomalies in
national policy, which modern, times
present, that of the support of Turkey,
by Austria and England, is not the
least surprising. That the Govern
ments secretly abet the Turks, lias been
long conjectured—if tbc following ex
tract of a letter received in town this
morning from Snlouica be deemed wor
thy of credit—conjecture will be con
vene I into certainty :
(Extract of a letter from Salunica.)
“ The important Island of Negro
pout is delivered from the Turkish yoke,
after a series of bloody battles, in which
the Greeks of the island were support
ed by the troops of the Peloponnesus.
The inhabitants of Sangonia have in
tercepted a large sum of money from
Constantinople to Chourschid Paeha.
The Hydroits have seized three English
vessels with ammunition for (he Turks.
The Greek government paid the cap
tain of these vessels the price of their
cargoes, and sent them to Zante, with a
letter to the English commander, com
plaining of the repeated violations of
the neutrality to which the English had
pledged themselves. An Austrian ves
sel, after consenting to be searched by
a Greek brig, fired upon her, and killed
several of her crew; but the Greeks
returned the charge, captured the Aus
trian, and carried her to Patinos, where
the Captain will be tried.”—
British Traveler.
“ Paris, June 4.
u A serious tumult took place in Pa
ris on Monday. It had been reported
during several previous days, that the
law students intended publicly to com
memorate the anniversary of the death
of the young Laliemand, who, it will
be recollected, met his untimely fate
during the commotions which were ex
cited in that capital by the collegians.
The authorities, to prevent their de
sign, had caused the gates of the ceme
<• Jt'%
•taRTi
iry Pcre La Chaise to be closed, and
posted a civil force adjacent. At eight j
o’clock, a number of youths belonging !
to the schoolyof law and physic, attir- j
ed in deep mourning, came to the sj>ot
in procession, and followed by a nu
merous multitude. M. Benjamin Con
stant also made his appearance in a
■ hackney coach, accompanied by ano
ther person, who, it was said, was the
i Count de Ildars, member of the cham
ber of Deputies. Cries were re-eoched
• of Benjamin Constant forever ! r I he
1 charter forever !We will enter!* The
• students demanded to pass to the tomb
• of their deceased fellow: this was re
. fused, and some disposition being e
• vinced to enter by force, the military
• were brought tblhe spot, and the place
I was promptly cleared. They rallied
again on the Boulevard de Bonne Nou
• velle, and matched in files, a second
1 time to the burial ground, where, on be
.* ing refused entrance a volley of stones
I was directed against the military, two
■ of whom were grieviously hurt by the
r missiles. On this the horse gendarme
t rie vigorously charged sword jn hand ;
- above twenty of the Students were in
f consequence wounded and eight taken
prisoners. This took place at noon,
r and scarcely had the troops dispersed
- the refractory mob, when a fire broke
. out in the faubourg St. Antoine ; and
r whilst the authorities were occupied in
i aiding to extinguish the flames, and to
; maintain order, the Students mustered
• on the Place St. Genevieve, provided
■ with stones, and declared loudly that
i they hail a defeat to revenge. The
i Commissary of Police, with five infant
ry soldiers, was all the force here op
posed to them, at whom several stones
were thrown j these men loaded their
( muskets, and seemed resolved to op
pose force by force ; happily, however,
, they restrained the vengeance which
, had been provoked, until a troop of
_ gendarmerie came to their assistance,
and put the infatuated youths and the
attendant rabble again to flight. Up
, to ten on Monday night, no farther tu
. mult had taken place : the refractory
, being awed by their repeated discomfi
, ture, and the strong Patrolfes which were
, on foot. The posts around the Palais
, Royal were; doubled, and every mea
t sure adopted to repress any hostile ef
fort.
“ Rear Admiral Jacob having ar
[ rived in Paris, it is supposed that the
t Government will not delay publishing
, an official document, which will remove
all incertitude respecting the affair of
, Samana, and the present state of our
. commercial relations with St. Domin
. go.”— Constitutional.

! “ Alexander I. by the grace of God,
' Emperor anti Autocrat of all the Rus
sias, &c. &c. &c.
“ The Emperor owes it to his high
Allies, to Europe, to Ids people, to him
• self, to make known the principles
r which have directed him, the . proceed
ings which have taken place in the dif
ferent relations of his Cabinet with the
Ottoman Porte, from the epoch at which
( several Greek provinces declared them
selves independent of the Government
, of Constantinople. His Majesty, since
Divine Providence placed him on the
throne, has whether in the wars in
which lie has been powerfully engaged,
or in his alliances, or in his conduct
during peace, but one constant and uni
form wish—the good of his people,
and the establishment of order in Eu
rope. When the ambition of a soldier
, raised by violence to the rank of a sove
reign, compromised the highest and
most sacred rights, the most noble and
conservative doctrines, and with them
the interests of the very people on
whom his yoke pressed, his Majesty
united, heart and effort, with his Allies,
had the happiness to co-opcratc by the
rapid and energetic developement of
his force, to that pacification which
(since troubled momentarily and only
by accident) is become the basis of the
state of Europe. When more lately
and recently disastrous doctrines, taken
up by corrupted or credulous people in
, a small number—caused to rise a small
i portion of the peninsula of Italy—his
■ Majesty faithful to his principles, com
bined with his illustrious Ally, the Em
■ peror of Austria, the necessary niea
i sures to restore to the Sovereign of the
Two Sicilies his hereditary rights—as
w O |
he had before the respect and love of his
people.
“ It is with this view that the com
plaints of the Greek subjects of the Ot
toman Court were listened to, and those
negociations entered into in order to
ameliorate their and restore
harmony and quiet in those countries.
His Majesty could not be less touched
with the sufferings of the Greeks, than
with those of the people of the West.
The Legation of his Majesty at die
Porte, in concert with all the other Ca
binets, gave proof of having no share,
direct or indirect, in the first troubles of
the Greeks, although his Majesty’s per
sonal character rendered such explana
tions superfluous. His Majesty then
demanded, in accordance with reason,
humanity, and religion, that the Greek
Churches should be rebuilt—that the
Greek worship should not be molested,
and that Wallachia and Moldavia should
be evacuated. The constant system of
the Porte was to protract and gain time
either to tire out the European Powers
or to prepare for war. His Majesty
was, in consequence, obliged to with
r /» $ I
draw from Constantin- j
| ople, sis Majesty*l3 indeed only.to
t the perseverance of the in
j negociating for the communication of
the answers of the Ottoman Porte, to
the definitive notes of the Stro
gonofl’.—These answers, a month and
a half from each other, the same in
substance, refuse obstinately the just
demands of his Majesty and his AJlfes.
The Porte guarantees nothing about
the rebuilding of the churches, an es
sential point, the refusal of which a
lone would render all arrangement im
possible. The evacuation of the prin
cipalities, a secondary object, but a ne
cessary and just consequence of trea
ties, was either refused or acceded to
with modifications, which rendered the
assent illusory, or postponed to an e
vontual epoch, subject to chances which
might put it off indefinitively. On the
oilier hand, the Porte, in declining the
just demands of his Majesty and his
Allies, has set up a claim which the law
of nations and the heart of his Majes
■ ty alike disavow. The giving up of
the fugitives, which is contrary to eve
ry sentiment of honour and humanity,
and indifferent to the interests ofGreece,
has beta openly and formally refused,
as it should be.
“ Such are the essential points of ne
gotiation between his Majesty and the
Ottoman Porte.—Europe will decide
on which side are right, moderation, &
forbearance. Europe will compare the
strict neutrality of the European Courts,
during the negociations, with the num
berless violences of the Turks against
the Greeks during the same period.
Europe will appreciate the pacific in
tentions of a power, whose acts against
the unhappy Christians of Greece have
seemed to acquire a new degree of cru
elty at the moment when tho highest
mediations interposed between the vic
tims and their oppressors.
“ The Emperor will not deviate from
his object—-the execution of treaties.
That execution refused, to conciliatory
means, he will obtain, with the aid of
Divine Providence, by the means which
are becoming the dignity of his Crown,
the magnanimity of his Allies, the
courage and ardour of his people.”

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Painful accounts have lately been re
ceived of the great distresses of the a
gricultural emigrants, in consequence
of the failure of the crops for two sea
sons. Many of them were absolutely
starving. Some relief has been ad
ministered from Cape-town, but mot
sufficient to check the alarming distress.
It is said the emigrants are indignant at
their treatment, but dare not give vent
to their complaints, lest the slender
supply from Cape-town be cut oft' by
the Governor, who, as he has ten thou
sand pounds a year for his own provi
sion, may not be easily persuaded of
the real extent of the calamity.
“ HONOR TO THE BRAVE."
On the 4th of July, Governor Carroll
delivered to General Jackson,the sword
voted to him by the Legislature of Ten
nessee, with the following address:—
Major General Andrew Jackson,
By a resolution of the General Assem
t bly of this State, at its session of 1819,
I the Governor was directed “ to procure
and deliver to you, a Sword with suita
ble engravings thereon, as a testimonial
of the high respect entertained by the
State of Tennessee, for your public ser
vices.” 1
In obedience to that resolution, this
Sword has been procured, and I am hap
py to have the opportunity of present- 1
ing it to you, on a day which must ex- 1
cite in your breast so many pleasing re- 1
collections. You gave your youthful ex- 1
ertions to the establishment of that in- 1
dependence, whose declaration we now ;
celebrate.—To its perpetuation you 1
contributed in riper years, by those 1
splendid achievements during the late
war, which have ‘filed the measure of !
your country’s glory.”
Accept sir, tills evidence of the grati
tude ol Tennessee, with which I tender
you my best wishes for the duration o;
your health, and happiness.—ln these 1
wishes 1 know lam cordially joined by *
our fellow-citizens of the State. j
To which the General replied. |
When I look around me and behold 1
many of those Patriot-soldiers, descend- 1
ents of Che immortal heroes who achiev
ed that National Independence we this
day celebrate, and who,’when the Toc
sin of alarm and war was Sbunded in
1812, voluntarily repaired to the Tent
ed Field, in defence of their country,
with the determination either to pre
serve, inviolate, those inestimable rights,
or perish in the attempt —I am inspired
with feelings more easily to be imagined
than expressed.
It was on the military prowess of
these brave and patriotic men and their
associoates in arms, that the safety and
defence of the country, as well as my
military fame rested; —and they most
nobly supported both. As a testimonial,
then, of the approbation of my fellow
citizens of Tennessee, for my public
services, and the services of those gal
lant and meritorious officers and men,
who so effectually seconded my exer
tions in the defence of our frontier bor
ders throughout the late British anjl In
dian wars, I receive with pleasure and
gratitude, this Sword, which lias been
prepared agreeably to the resolution of
the Legislature of this State, and pre
sented by your Excellency.
It is these brave officers and men, as
sociated with me in those trying scones
and who so well supported the reputa
tion of their Revolutionary Fathers,
that most deserve their country’s appro
bation and wannest gratitude—it is their
heroic exploits, as well as my public
services, the Resolution of the Legisla
ture intends to approve, and, as such, 1
receive with additional feelings of the
sincerest pleasure, that testimonial, so
freely bestowed on both them aud me,
by my lellow-citizens.
That I, the humble instrument in the
hands of Divine Providence, should have
been the means of deliverance to our
Frontier borders from savage cruelty,
and New-Orleans, the Emporium of the
West, from the ravages and pollution of
a British army, istme of she greatest
blessings Heaven can bestow; —and
that 1 should have been able through all
these difficulties and trying scenes, sato
conduct myself as to deserve and obtain
the approbation of my fellow citizens of
Tennessee, as expressed by the Resolu
tion. of their Legislature, will be to me,
one of the most pleasing recollections of
my future existence.
When I review the disinterested pa
triotism displayed by the voluntary ten
der of military services of the brave
Tennesseeans, during the whole British
and Indian war, it excites in me ming
led feelings of pleasure and pride. —
Their proffered services contained no
constitutional scruples—were conlinec
by no territorial limits—the order o:'
their government for dismissal was the
the only limit to their services. This
Holy zeal, with which the bosoms of the
brave volunteers was fired, ought to be
fostered arid cherished, not damped, by
the government; —It is this zeal alone ,
that can defend and preserve the liber
ties of our country and perpetuate the
existence of our happy form of govern
ment.
I thank you, sir, most sincerely, for
the good wishes you offer for my health
and happiness;—l cannot conclude
without first invoking a similar blessing
in your behalf; aud, that the prosperity
of the State of Tennessee, over which
you preside, may be commensurate with
the courage and patriotism of its citi
zens, is, and ever will be, the first wish
of my heart.
ADAMS AND JEFFERSON.
The following is extracted from an
Oration delivered at Boston, on the 4th
of July, by Andrew Dunlap Esq.
“ Heaven raised up a host of States
men and Warriors for the accomplish
ment of our emancipation, A Jeffer
son stood fourth to proclaim our wrongs,
in that immortal Declaration, which
will be read with admiration, when the
borders of the Pacific rival in popula
tion, settlements and cities, the shores
of the Atlantic ; and the United States
shall be filled from tho mountains, to
both oceans, with countless millions of
freemen, united by the ties of interest
and affection, and bound together by
the chain of one language.—The Phi
losopher of Mynticello enjoys with his
distinguished associate, the Philosopher
of Quincy, a happiness which has rare
ly fallen to the lot of great political ben
efactors of the human race.—Their
lives have usually been embittered by
injustice and persecution, and they have
beep pompelled to look to posterity to
pronounce “ the verdict of their fame;”
but those Patriots have outlived the
prejudices which party animosities have
excited against them ; in their own time,
the storm has passed by, and the last
hours of their course are unclouded and
serene. To their honor, to the honor
of the country be it said, that all their
candid fellow citizens now unite in the
sentiment, which posterity will approve,
that the earth never yet produced more
ardent and sincere lovers of their coun
try, than the two great political rivals,
and Leaders of opposing partjes in the
United States, the Sage of Massachu
setts, and the Sage of Virginia.
