([political arrangement. In the treaty of 1815, it was agreed, by tne allied powers, that in thej .event of the grand duke of Baden leaving no sue -1 Ecessor, in a direct line, the whole of his domin ions should be transferred to Bavaria. But, it hat arrangement took plsce, the grand duke, int 5a letter to the king of Bavaria, has complained of; fthis infraction of his right to nominate a succes-j [sor, and of the right of the Badenese to choose? [one themselves, should the succession fail. Such; [arc the causes of tne quarrel between these per-? [sonages, and it is referred to the arbitration of, [the allied sovereigns. Meanwhile, tlie king off [Bavaria has assembled a number of troops on they ‘Badenese frontier, that he may be able, in case, [of the death of the grand duke, who is at present! indisposed to take possession of his dominions.— [The latter is preparing to defend them; and* jWurtemburg has declared, in an official note,? [that they shall not he invaded with impunity. —l The emperor of Russia, also, it is said, espouses!* [the cause cf Baden. a It is asserted in an article from Brussels,® ;that the allied sovereigns have determined nottoi [interfere in the disputes between Spain and her] (colonies, as being objects foreign to the purposes lof their assembling. I According to the private letters from Aix-la-f jChapcllc, the emperor Alexander has caused a? mote to be submitted to urging the? of Bonaparte to some more healthy* iplacc of confinement than St. Helena. • A letter is in circulation cm the continent, pur-l [porting to be from general Gourgaud to the cm-” [press Maria Louisa, soliciting her to repair toi lAix-la-Chapelle, for the purpose of endeavoring’ [to procure the release of Napoleon, or, at least,l Gome amelioration of his imprisonment. | The mother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who atj [present resides with cardinal Fesch, in Rome,! [hearing of her son’s illness, is said to have appii-jjj led to the allied sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle,j [and to tlie ministers of the prince regent, for per-! [mission to visit St. Helena, and to have been re-] ! fused. 5 Mr. Clarkson, the benevolent and well known* [opposer of the slave trade, is at Aix-ia-Chapelle,] [to enforce the views of the abolitionists. Lord] [Castlereag’n is also the bearer of a memorial from! Mr. Wilberforcc, on the same subject, and of] [another memorial from sir Joseph Banks, rela-J Live to the Barbary powers. | The French papers mention that the Sieuij jVandcbcrg has purchased no less taan 20,0001 [horses, belonging to the allied armies. I I The douaniers of the Netherlands have seized! [a part of the wines destined for the emperor of! [Russia, on account of an erroneous declaration as! [to their price. I j The pope, by a bull, has granted the mquisil [lion permission to torture, in cases of treason and] [freemasonry. J Several commercial houses at Paris have been] informed by their correspondents, that tlie AmeJ (rican government has offered a sum of thirty] [million francs to the king of the Two Sicilies foil [the cession of the port of Syracuse. This pro-] position was rejected. It is well known that thej I Americans use every effort to’procure an estab lishment in the Mediterranean, ajMjahat tJfll ssh L. i>v". 1 —LwHJPt cold^WWToi|m?H. Boyles arrived in town last evening, having fiom jpleted three tours to the eastward of this place [within the last forty days. His first route was pVom Fort Crawford on the waters and down the Chatahoochie, in which he destroyed sever al villages and plantations, killed several Indians [and took eight prisoners. A number of horses were caught which had been left by Jackson’s army. The second route was on the lower wa-l ters of the Escambia and Yellow water, whichj was performed by the colonel and twenty-five! men—in which, he killed three Indians and took nine prisoners, and a number of muskets, rifles, |Uc. Lieutenants Long and Morgan were then pent w ith thirty men, together with all the horses and baggage of the rangers (they being on the Opposite side of Pensacola Bay) in order to cross the Yelicw water at Jackson’s fording—at which (time, 1 Sth instant, colonel Boyles with a small [party, twenty-five strong, proceeded up Yellow [water in a barge to destroy the hostile Indians [understood to be collected there for the purpose battle —after proceeding up Yellow ►Water about 100 miles, they were fired uponl ■ from a bluff'which completely sheltered them! [.from the Rangers; the size of the barge and the! [steepness of the bluff rendered a landing difficult J which, however, was soon effected under a show-I ‘cr of lead. They immediately made a charge! ’ when the enemy fled in every direction, leaving! all their baggage. Circumstances rendered pur-l suit useless. The colonel considered it a strik-| |>ing instance of the interposition of Providence! , tiiat none of his men sustained any injury. Thc| action iasted without cessation twenty-five min-l utes. This took place on the 25tli. The day! following they fell in with a party of Indians J twenty-two in number, and made them prisoners J ; among whom is tlie old chief called Peas, who ■■has always been active to have Indians well sup plied with arms, ammunition, See. and from whom information has been obtained where the Indi ans are to rendezvous. Colonel Boyles left town ‘this morning with a reinforcement and rationed ifor thirty days, and will meet them. Lieutenants [Long and Morgan have not yet arrived; the tour ♦they make to get the horses to this place being? [near 300 miles, and many of the horses tired, Scc.l p Colonel Boyles is highly spoken of as a soldier,] and he gives much credit to the bravery of his] /men. It is hoped the time will soon come when? they will return to their homes for want of Indi-j atis to fight, and it is considered safe on the Geor-j gia road, as well as in these parts where gentle-] j-men may wish to look at new lands, Sec. j I \Ve understand by a gentleman just arrived] ’ from Buenos Ayres, that Pueyrredon had issued] a proclamation, of which the gentleman arrived] ’ has a copy. This proclamation details some-] Ahing of the information upon which Pueyrredon] rliacl arrested and put in prison certain citizens, as| [conspirators; it then states that subsequent in for-5 fmation had induced the supreme director to! jSdoubt the truth of the statement before made,] tand to direct the liberation of the citizens whom] Hiic had caused to be arrested and imprisoned.—] Ffhc prisoners had accordingly been liberated.; fit was said that the object of the conspiracy wasj ‘.to place San Martin in the place of Pueyrredon.? ?*— Demo.

[Gottenburg, is the bearer of a commercial trea-j *ty between Sweden and the United States. 7 The news of the signature of a treaty with iG re at Britain, by our commissioners at London, jeannot but be acceptable. What are the provi-i isions of the treaty, it is*truc, we ere not informed; [ but, there is every reason to believe, it will prove pto be favorable to our interests, and respectful to] lour rights. It is not probable that Mr. Gallatin] jand Mr. Rush would have assented to a treaty ot [any other character; and, that no extraordinary! leffort was necessary to procure such an one, we! I.nay infer from its aiW [•concluded \Gddn It not un-J reasonable to expect that it will now receive an! attention its importance.—l None can be more since on the duel ot materially depends! the of oi|Bersonal and poJiPalj rights.— ib. THE BANK OFT^pfeW^p'STATES.] There laid of ] the United-states, by the secretary of the ry, in pursuance of a resolution of that body at] the last session, a letter from the president of the] bank of the United States, transmitting sundry’ statements relative to the proceedings, state and condition of the bank. It will be some days,! possibly, before w e arc able to lay before our| readers all the papers relating to this subject.— On looking over the documents communicatcdJ the most important appears to be that which gives a statement of the debts due to the bank at! Philadelphia, and its several branches. From that statement we abstract the following account] of debts now due for bills discounted at the bank Lind its branches, respectively, viz: IAC Philadelphia Portsmouth, 2 2,962 4S f 10 957 Boston, Providence, 1,683 46 Middletown, j 34,113 34 New- York, 1.913,884 35 Baltimore, M 32,379 77 Washington, 1.505,963 75 Richmond, >8,170 9:’, I Norfolk, 1,236,673 23 ; Fayetteville, 623,379 70 Charleston, 2,681,709 33 Savannah, 1. 1 3 0,2 4 7 04.

So that there [remain in circulation, notes to the amount ol §8,670,692 dollars only.— ib. Bth instant. J IMPORTANT IF TRUE. I The Montreal Herald of November 21, con tains the following article, j We have just now been favored with accounts -from Lake Champlain, by which it appears that [the great fort built on Rouse s point by tiu> [Americans, since the peace, and completed Blast summer, is on the Canadc side of line 45, as felaid down by the commissioners appointed for [that purpose. In this case the fort is built on [British territory, and little doubt can be enter itaincd to whom it belongs.” ’ We very much doubt the correctness of the fobove, but should it prove to be the fact, it gives o the British a decided advantage on Lake Cham -plain. g We hear from a respoctable gentleman re fcenlly from Rio Janeiro, now in Washington Ci |ty, that the conduct of the Portuguese authori ties there, towards American citizens, is arbitra ry beyond example; that the remonstrances of jour minister, Mr. Sumpter, on these subjects, La re treated with contempt by the court; and noth fcing less than a frigate or a sloop of war on this will command justice or respect. Tho “same informant says amongst a number of ex actions and oppressions daily practised on the lAmericans in the Brazil, that a Portuguese ves pcl of war (named, we think, the Pedro ) actually Itm/iressed seventeen American citizens to serve son board, sometime previous to her sailing from cßio, in September, 1817. These facts ought to [be looked into without delay, as they tend to cor jroborate other statements just received from the aSame quarter. — Wash.
