"The British government as weh.rvealre’dy'stated, have paid due at tention .to the subject, and we have reason to believe that the American government view -the horrid businesa in its true light.— 1 The -whole of.the-documenU have no doubt monstroua -mockery of .justice and' -the -thodow »f nations and the dictates of hu- barbarnus er-uelijr whiol. it displays<Chaoi mani’y, -avill be shewn by a prompt and any thing that had been conceived -by those.: ample.infliction of that punishment on the who, from the firatimperfecf accounts,had guilty persons, which a regard to their own formed the .worst-opinion of the conduct of character, and the true interest of tiieir the Americaosiiqpucftted in this transac- country, so Imperiously demands. tion. for our awn part we confess, that sithout entertaining any -very high opin ion oftlie justice cor humanity uf those who art in judgment upon these nuf-two countrymen, y«a.being a -thing .done in-the face at day, and -with-something at least like the forms'ofuilegal art, we certainty did think that when the documents were produced it would turn -nut, that the sen tence of death which was executed, if not fully deserved, waa at least awarded .ac cording to the -strirt and stern interprets tion of the law. But.now the-case appears to be far otherwise. -Sin the face of those -locciments there-is proof,-tliattheexecutioi. of Mr. Arbuthnot and Mr. Ambrister was a most-inhuman murder. The .facts can not be explained away. We have consul dered the subject .with feelings subdued from the-first burst-of-iodignation, which the perusal of these terrible documents excited. We have read them again and again, carefully dwelling upon every cir comstjnee which In any degree could b> made to aggrar.itc-the case of these two unluyipy men. But the more we contem plate .the case,-the more attrbeious dues it seem against those Americans who are im plicated. It it not a thing to be lightly talked of—it is.no-casefur a hasty opinion With this impression it is, that we hav. abstained from expressing any decided opinion, till we had though thoroughly ex- amined-the subject. We are anxious, too, that so firas any question ol law is involv- .d, we should have an opportunity .of as- ■ rrtaining whether -there could be any -hing intliatpcint of view—any quibble or. refinement of -construction which could’ lustily.thc proceedings, or even make their injustice doubtful- But there appears to be nothing of the kind. The whole trial; aud condemnation are so abhorrent to the principles of international and even mar- Hal law, as theyareshooking to humanity. iJUet us only consider the -charges .on. aliich-tbe trials took place—the-proof ad-, daccd to substantiate those charges-the' decision of. the court martial—and lastly, the order for.the.executinn issued, by gen Madame-Catalan! is said to have been early distinguished for her musical talents, for the clearness and compass of her-voice. At thegge-of eight years she was placed in the convent Delia Visilaxione.atdSinig- aglia,-in the Human,.Statts. She there was in the habit of singing in the choir with dier young companions. The con cert m which her voice vos mingled, soon attracted to the convent crowds of Dilet tanti, whose raptures could not be .even restrained within the bouads of due deco- lum, but expressed themselves in profane plaudits, unsuited to the sacred nature ol the place.

In the Coo rier of the 22d of January, the speech ol the Marquis is reported at greater length; and as the subject is interesting,-iwe shall now quote the whole which bears upon that point The Marquis said, “He could not sit down without adver ting to .the reference made in the speech ami the address to the relations subsisting between this country and the U.

The late J/rs. lirunton—It ii with deep concern that we announce the death of: female.novelist, whose pen was consecrat ed to the interest of religion and virtue. The Author of self control and discipline has prematurely terminated her honorable carter, in the flower of life. Mrs. Brun ton was a-native of North Britain. Her childhood was chiefly spent inthe High lands; and it is not improbable that these early habits of seclusion conspired with native enthusiasm to give her-character that romantic bias, which is iq.general un favorable to the tranquility of its .posses sor. It i« impossible without feelings or tender commiseration, to advert to Mrs Bruntoids death; she expired shortly after having given birtli to a lifeless infant, the sole oflspring of that haimotions coi'jo»ai union which during 20 years, had been crowned with a more tliau ordinary por tion of human felicity.

Two numbers of a work entil- tled thc.Jlmi dela Uoyaule have been pub lished, in which, an appeal is made to the most ungovernable passions. The pros pectus of the Drapeawblanc has also been 1 distributed. A scene took place day be fore yesterday which seems to be the for erunner of some design. Co!onel ? Farvier was met on the -Pisce du Carousel by a roan who insulted and followed him into the hotel of one of the ministers with the mast sV. live threats.

And is it an American tribunal; that sets the example of condemning to, death the sutyect of a neutral state, that; sells to their enemies the munitionsol .war? Is it an American tribunal.that -sets the example of (winging the subjects of a neu trai state for inciting to a war? Are these the acts of the authorized agents of that country, one half of whose citizens were, engaged in such.act* against this country during our late war with revolutionary France! And what.wa* this to which Mr Arbuthnot is accused. of inciting the Creek Indians? Nut a war uf aggression—not a war-of robbery and spoliation—bat a wai to resist Aggression; a war (to use thelan- gtTs^e of (the Indian chiefs) against the, United States, whose citizens “murder our, red brethren—steal our cattle by hundreds at a tinr.i—daily encroach upon our lands; —and maintain tbe settlers in their ill- gotten possessions by an armed force!” As to the rase ol Mr. Ambrister, he was accused of lulling an active part in this war—^proceeding justified by the univer sal practice in modern times. But for this, oor countryman has been put to-death in cold blood by the American general Jackson. The court martial pronounced as their final sentence, that Mr. Ambrister should receive fifty (ashes, and be confined to hard labor for 12 months. .This sen tence, general Jackson not only does not. coofirme but substitutes one of his own,, ordering the punishment of death, which! was inflicted accordingly. We say this latter sentence waathatofgeneral Jackson, and not of the court—for thought the court did, In tho first instance, awanl-the pun ishment of (death, yet they immediately desired leave to reconsider Ibeirsenteucv, and this leave they obtained. They did re-c«n»ider -it before their first sentence had been (recorded, and their final sen tence. was' tor the punishment of flogging and temporary imprisonment. Such arc. the main features of these most berborous deeds.

Un til, however, the government of the United States avowedtor attempted tojustify these .transactions, he should withhold any pos itive opinion. He could at present only speak from what had been published at the proceedings of tbe military commission, or court-martial, as it styled itself, by which these persons were tried. The principle on wldch that court-martial pro -ceeded, if consistent with military law, was one which could scarcely be expected to be enforced by such a government as the United States. There might be a pre tence for applying such a law to Arabris- ter, who was taken with arms m bis bands; but with regard to Arbuthnot, there ap peared no pretest whatever. It appeared to be one of those acts of naked violence which disgraced Mi ose by whom it was com mitted. He had no doubt however, .that a distinct explanation would bq received from ti e United States, as the nature of these transactions was inconsistent with the genius and free institutions of that go vernment.” Nartw., Dec. 8.
