J m 5EC ■ fJfertiwtfaitteV;.- ~ r ^ ,, The following letter from sir Robert rirey,; was intercepted by the Frertcb-gpye ' one of the documents Upon which the 5 cl sir Robert are founded: • • > > SIR ROBERT WILSON TO EARL GREY. “ft" w.ts determined (says-, sir Robert-Wilson) -that the fugitivefiiiould Wear the English uniform: that I should coaduet him without the barriers In an English c*bf -'- A wearing the uniform myself; that 1'should have a ; horse at La Chapelle, and proceed from- thence to-Coin- piegne, where Ellister.should repair wfth ray carriage, in to which*I should afterwards travel with Lavaletfe to Mohs, by the way of Cambray. I had.no difficulty- in procuring from sir Charles Stewart, at my request^ ahd on toy responsibility, passports for general Wallia and colonel Lesnock, names which We chose because they were not preceded by Christian names. The passpbrts were duly countersigned by the minister for foreign af fairs, but When they were presented for signature, one of the secretaries asked whojcolonel Lesnock was? He im mediately replied, it is the father of the admiral. This driest accomplished, Elhster took the passports for colonel Lesnock, procureil-ptest-horses for his carriage; and finally, "to avoid all. suspicion, took an apartment and aNjbaeh-house at the hotel de Holder, in the name of colonel Lesnock. 'Bruce fortunatetyi^eamed that the brigade, commanded by his cousin, gefteral Brisbane, was at Compiegne, with the horses ana bSggsge belong ing to the general, who was then in England. *Wf saw the aid-de-camp at Bruce’s, where, we met by appoint, ment. He told him that very particular circumstances' obliged us."to pass through Compiegne with a person, who must remain unknown; we wished to stop an hour or two ima remote and retired quarter. He frankly re plied, that he would 7 trust entirely to us on the subject; that nis existence depended on preserving his situation, but that he would not hesitate to accede to our propo sition, particularly since he saw we were interested in the affair. I avow that I feit repugnance at implicating such a person in this affair; but the cause was too im portant to stop at that consideration, and lencour -ged the hope that a day would one time arrive in which it might be possible for me to acknowledge this service.— Bruce procured Lavalette’s measure, and Hutchinson gave it to a tailor, saying it was the measure of a quarter master of his regnnept, who wanted a great coat, waist coat, and pantaloons, but did not heed a suit. The tailor' ■observed that it was the measure of a tall man, and that it had not been taken by a tailor. His remark alarmed me so much that I thought it was advisable to send llutcliinson to say to him, that as the quarter-master could not wait till Saturday evening, it was necessary that the clothes should be carefully pack ed up, and that they would be forwarded to him after his departure. Hutchinson and Ellister took besides all ne cessary precautions with respect to the horses, and re- connoitered the barriers in a promenade on the preceding day. Every precaution for avoiding accidents being adopted, it was Sfliilly agreed that Lavalette should be removed to Hutchinson’s lodgings on Sunday, January 7, at half past nine in the evening precisely; and that next day, at half past seven in the morning, equally pre cise, I should be at his door with Bruce’s cabriolet, ufy servant, the servant on mv mare, well equipped, as if 1 were going to make an Inspection. That Hutchinson should ride along by .the side of the cabriolet, keeping tip conversation with us, and tliat in case any embarrass ments occurred, Lavalette should mount my "horse and I the mare, in order that we might act more freely and gain in expedition. 1 should certainly have preferred passing the barriers on horseback, but it was thought that the manner of riding on horseback, might attract atten tion, and that passing the barriers in full day, and in an open carriage, would shew too much confidence to give cause for suspicion* The hour being at last arrived, Ellister, Bruce, and myself, repaired to Hutchinson’s apartments, under the pretext of a party for punch; at the moment when La valette was to present lumseif, Bruce advanced to the top of the stairs, Lavalette took him by the hand, and we saw before us this interesting personage. He was dres sed in a blue uniform, and sufficiently disguised to pass without remark in the apartment of an Englishman. The friend who conducted him did nOt enter the room, but he defivered at Hutchinson’s a pair of double-barrel led pistols for Lavalette. He appeared at first much moved. We did not permit him to give vent to all his sentiment of gratitude, but a few moments after, fillis ter and I withdrew, and left him tc the care of Hutchin son and Bruce. “Next day at half past seven, I was at Hutchinson’s door. In five minutes I had seated Lavalette, and we were on our way to the bar of Clichy. We met an Eng lish officer, who appeared surprised at seeing a general officer whom he did not know. But my servant avoided all questions; I passed the barrier at a moderate pace; ■the gendarmes looked earnestly at us, but the presenting of arms gave lavalette the opportunity of covering his face in returning the: salute. When we got through the barrier, Lavalette pressed his leg against mine, and when we were out of the reach of observation, his whole countenance appeared enlivened by this first favor of fortune. “The road was full of all sorts of people; but when ever we met the diligence, I began to converse with a loud voice in English, ;uid I remarked that my hat, which was mounted with a wiiite plume, and which Lavalette held in his hand, attracted the notice of the passengers, and withdrew their attention from us. “Lavalette has such marked features, and his person is so well known to all the post-masters, that the greatest care was necessary. At La Cliapelle, where we changed horses, we experienced ^moment’s alarm at the sight of four gendarmes who hovered about us. But Hutchinson, on being questioned by them, relieved us from their im portunities by replying, that we were going to choose cantonments for a division of the English army. We were obliged to p^ss close to other gendarmes, who had with them bills containing the description of Lavalette; and here I ought to remark, that these bills had been dis tributed to almost every indivMuol in France. On ap proaching Compeigne I observed some grey hairs pro jecting from under the brown wig worn by Lavalette.— Fortunately J Iiad scissors with ine, and I performed the part of his friseur on the road, ' “On entering Compeigne we found the sergeant men tioned by captain Fravol, who conducted us through pie town to a quarter extremely well chosen, for we were not incommoded by spectatqrs in the streets. None saw us enter except the soldiers and the English servants who attended us. While we waited for Ellister with the car riage, Mr. F. presented us with refreshments. Finally, towards night, as had been agreed upon, Ellister arrived •with the carriage, which had left Pans by the barrier of St. Denis, and was followed to LaChapelle by two gen darmes. I caused the lamps to be lighted, as well to shew us our road as to make it appear that we were under no apprehensions; and haying taken leave of our friends, we set out, wsll armed, arid prepared to make resistance, if-me experienced any obstacle. We were much questioned at the stations for the relays, but we experienced no delay * till we reached Cambray, where we lost three hours at the gates, owing to the fault of the English guard,, who having no orders for calling the gate-keeper, was not to be induced to do so notwithstanding all we could say to him—a negligence which has already been attended with inconvenience to the government, and which might have been fatal to us. In passing thpugh Valenciennes we were strictly examined three times over; and our pass ports sent to the commandant. We underwent another examination at some distance from that garrison, and this was the last. We did not stop, except at Mons, where we dined, and made ar angement* for the future journey of Lavalette. I wrote several letters to facilitate the means by which he might reach'his destination, and hav- iogprovided every thing that appeared best for his heafthiud comfort, I took leave of him, and returned to Paris yesterday evening by the route, of Maubuge, Sois- sons, and la Porte St. Martin, after an absence of 60 hours.” The following is an extract of a letter, received at the office of the National Advocate, dated Bordeaux, April 19,' 1816. Mr Dear Sin—I inclose you a blackguard piece which appeared against >is a few days ago, in the Anglm- French paper, published in this town. If the press was free here, as with us, one could reply to such calumnies; but no answer will be admitted in this gazette, the only cue printed in this town. ■ the idfeflfeitouff thisoMr, t»taHyF<iite. T'bey^bfeN that tfie correspondent, of the Boston Pa- Km not exaggerated or given the least -coloring to ffis statement, hdthas related the frets exactly as theyoc- jepred.' > . i AH the! Abuse we have suffered, here from-the Anglo faction, has arisen from one source—the duke'of Angou, •leme. Shortly after his arrival in this city, in March; 1814, all the foreign consuls \yerc presented to hhn.— Our consul Was then absent On ms return, a few days after, he applied -to the then prefect, “Mr. Laine, now. president of the chamber of deputies, to' be introduced to the duke. The prefect made the'consul's wisbknqwn to the duke, who declined receiving Mr. Lee. ,U was said the demand of Mr. Lee was declined in the dufce’s council. Be" this as it may, when Cup consul returned thp next day, at the hour appointed by the prefect, to be introduced, that officer told him, in a very un becoming tone, that, “on reflection, lie thought it veTy impolitic to introduce to his highness the representative of a government who had dared to declare war against the brave English.” This inspiring answer was imme diately circulated among the royalists, and made us un popular. It was then concluded by all the party, that the Bourbons were inimical to us. Then began the eiy, so’often repeated since, of Vi-oe let Anglais,a bastes Americains ces stint lee queux a pendre. A few days after this firm and manly answer, as it was then colled, of the prefect to Mr. Lee,- a ball was given by the merchants ■to the duke. The great hall of the Bourse wap deco rated for the purpose. At the four comers of the halt, Europe, Asia, Africa and America, were re presented by emblematical trausparanccs. The co lors of- each nation, holding possessions in the four quarters of the globe, were seen floating over them, the United States’ colors among the rest—but on the evening of the ball our colors -were not seen. On ‘in quiring into the cause of this, it appeared they were or dered out, and the English colors were hoisted in their place, directly over the United States. This was not all. At the Exchange, the stand Of every nation is engraved in large Utters; here is Holland—farther on, England— then the United States. Over each of ^these inscriptions were placed decorations analogous to each nation, and over that of the United States were placed F.ngUsh^m- blems. These pointed insults, as I have before stated, gave such a determined tone against us, that, to this day, while we are i-esptctedand treated with kindness in every other part of France, we are daily insulted in this city, by that liandful of enraged royalists and fanatics who. domineer here. It is a disgrace to the city which owes so much to our commerce, that these wretches are permitted to be so opcn-’.nouthed against us. The English houses liovc become numerous here, and new establishments are daily forming. They are point ed in their calumnies against our consul, and industrious ly augment tile animosities of the old nobles, priests and fanatics against us. Our consul is deservedly popular with us, and his family is an ornament to any society or any country. To compensate Mr. tee for the vexations he has experienced in defending us with dignity and ta lent, against the aspersions of our enemies, we have pre sented him with an address, and last week we gave turn an eLegant dinner. This has caused, it is presumed, the renewal of the attacks against him and us. Il is said by the high flying royalists that the new minister from France to the United States, lias orders to demand of our government, his dismissal from office. General Lover- do, who commands here, with the title of governor, and who is unpopular with considerate Frencnmen, as Mr. Lee is with the Anglo-royal party, has said, that if Mr. Lee is not disgraced, he will resign. They are at sworeis’ points. Mr. Lee, on his part, it is said, iiaa asked leave of absence of our government, who ought not to grant it to him. They should insist on his remaining here, ana on the French government’s rendering complete satis faction for the unmerited injuries and insults he tus ex perienced here, in common with his countrymen. These are my ideas on tlie subject, which interests all of us here; you may make what use of them you please. If Mr. Lee retires by force, or from choice, it will be a triumph for our enemies, and encourage, them in all their future attempts to degrade and disgrace the American character. We want such men as him abroad to sup port our rights, and to give a just idea ofthe principles of our government; besides, the deportment of all the members of bis family, give a just idea ofthe manners and virtues of our country.

Venezolantans—This is the period of the republic!— The immortal island of Margarita, headed by the intrepid general Arismendi, has again proclaimed the independ- ent'govermnent of Venezuela, and has supported it with the most exalted valor, against all the pow er of Spain. The remnant of our forces, dispersed by the fall of Carthagena, reunited in Hayti. With them and with-the auxiliaries of our magnanimous admiral Brian, we are forming an expedition, which from its elements seems destined to terminate forever the dominion of the tyrants over-our patriot land. ' Venezolanians!—Your brothers and your foreign friends do not come with a view of conquering yon! their design is to fight for your liberty, to place you in a situa tion to re-establish the republic upon the most solid foun dation. The congress of Venezuela will be installed anew, when it may be your wish. As the people of inde pendence have done me the honor to entrust me with the supreme authority, I authorise you to name vour de puties to the congress without further convocation than the present, confiding to them tiie same sovereign pow ers as at the first epoch of the republic. I have not come to dictate laws to you, but I beseech you to hear my voice:—I recommend to you unity of go vernment, and absolute liberty, that you may not repeat' the commission of an absurdity and a crime, since we cannot at the same time be freemen and slaves. If you form but one mass of people, if you establish a central government, and if you unite with us—rely upon victory. Spaniards, who inhabit Venezuela, the war of destruc tion shall cease if you but say the word:—if hot, we Shall exercise just reprisal, and you will be exterminated.

The naval and military expedition, which it was Juiown the patriot generals Bofivar and DTrinda de Maxiififwere fitting out in that part of the Island of St. Domingo, under the government of Petion, arrived at the Isoind of Mar- garetta early in May—it consists of twenty-one armed vessels and transports, having on board 3500 troops, of which 1500 are colored troops ofthe line, furnished from Petion’s army; the -other 3000 are composed of patriot emigrants who fled from Carthagena and New-Grenada, after the success of the royal general Morillo. After re lieving the Island of Margaretta from the blockade of the royal Spaniards, general Bolivar proceeded immedi ately for the Spanish Main. The principal part of his force is destined first against the city of Augustura, an important post on the Oronoco. Having reduced that place, the fleet wilt convey the army (increased as it will Be by reinforcements) against the royal force in-Caraccaa.

VASE FOR GENERAL JACKSON. We had the satisfaction of exhibiting in our office this morning, the elegant vase intended as a present to gene ral Jackson, by the Ladies of South-<Jarqiina. It was re ceived by the Georgia-Packet, arrived last evening from Philadelphia. It is not in our power to do justice to the appropriate design and exquisite execution of this spe cimen of art. A slight description, however, is attempt ed. The body of the Vase is about fifteen inches high, mounted on a pedestal of five inches—tlie width from handle to handle sixteen inches. The proportion and harmony of its parts strike tlie eye at a single glance.- The supporters are four eagles’ claws—on three sides of the pedestal are eagles in baso-relievo. On the front is sketch of tliat cheat battle, which throws all other victories into shade, and above it tlie expressive words “EIGHTH OF JANUARY, 1815.” On each corner of the pedestal, is a spread-eagle, in frosted silver, grasping a thunder-bolt. The vase then rises with a boid swell, and of a polish equal to tlie most perfect mirror—ornamented on the border, with a circle of laurel. The handles are two curled serpents, termi nating in a double head. One side of the vase are the arms of Soutii-Carolina;—-on the other, this inscription: “Presented by the Ladies of South-Caroiina to Major- General Andrew Jackson.” The cover is of polished silver, surmounted with a large spread eagle, in frost, resting on a ball and cannon. The be&uty of this elegant piece of workmanship, con sists, not only in the minute perfection of its parts—but in the general and striking effect produced upon the be holder from the harmony of the whole. The polish of the work is such, tliat all its ornaments are multiplied by ref ection—and gives it a richness beyond description. The weight of the whole is 14lb IDoz—the workman ship is by Fletcher &. Gardiner, of Philadelphia. The de sign and execution do honor to the artisvs, and the ob ject for which if * s intended by the enlightened fair of South-Carufina, must be as gratifying to our state, as it can be to the bero for whose honor it was designed.— Charleston Southern Patriot. CRAWFORD’S REPORT. A frontier man, who has no inclination for an Indian mife, and who ,has read with equal surprize and indigna tion, Mr. Crawford’s proposition to congress for civi lizing tlft Indians, by encouraging intermarriages be tween them and the trontier whites, would respectfully suggest to the vhonorable secretary a modification of his plan, which he may incorporate, if he chooses, in his next official expose on Indian Affairs. As the secretary is equally zealous in discouraging the emigration of Eu ropeans to America and in civilizing: the Indians by the intermixture of blood, let him advise, that no foreigner in future shall have refuge in our country who will not accept of an Indian spouse. By this means we sliall check the influx pf foreigners and at the same time pro mote the civilization of the Indians. Few Europeans perhaps, under such restraint, will seek an asylum un der our government—but such as do come, must, nolens volens, incorporate themselves with the savages. Ridi culous as this scheme may appear, it is notwithstanding more practicable than Crawford’s. It is well knowiq that the white men who have taken Indian wive$, are al most without exception foreigners. Native Americans, particularly the frontier people, are too well acquaint ed with the disgusting habits amj. vices of the Indians, and have suffered too mucb from their perfidy aqd cru elty, to think of an alliance so unnatural—if any Geor gian has been known to form such connexion, liis vices which expelled him from civilized society, would dis qualify hisgjfor improving the condition of the savages. Of this MrtCrawford should not have been ignorant^ as he had lived himself in less than a thousand miles of the frontier. The printer of a Virginia paper, who de fends the secretary’s plan, tells 1m readers not to be alarmed at this strange proposition—that it is not the cityJieaux and belles who are to intermarry with the In dians, but only the frontier people. And who are these rentier people whom he*would, assimilate to Indians? Tfii our state they are industrious respectablqcitizens not so polished as his city belles an£.beaux—but more valuable to their - country and nor less virtuous tham those who stigmatize them.—-Georgia Journal, \9th instant. ^ -fit w'yiT iV m ‘ ent ’ k* Te pub'- V-Motiroe, Some apblogy was due from these genttenten to their constituents, whose sentiments they had s^iwilly 7 misrepresented.

The only charge they make, which can affect the reputation of Mr. Monroe is, that he is in arrears to the government. That assertion they now acknowledge to fie unfounded, ,and that bis accounts at the treasury are settled—but this fact, they say, was not discovered by them until after their exposition had been made pub The caucus nomination happened to be in unison with the will of the people. Had it been otherwise, they would not have acquiesced in it; and the man of their choice, in spite of caucuses, intriguers, and office-hunters, would have been called to the presidential chair.—ib.

We have read with pleasure the speech of governor Brooks to the legislature of Massachusetts—instead of the factious and disorganizing language held forth by tb* late governor, when tlie safety of the union trembled on the balance, we gladly perceive in the speech of the m w governor, the sentiments of sound republicanism; ten.ce rate indeed, but firm, and consonant to the opinions* of our most distinguished patriots—we hail this production as a new era m tlie annals of New-England, and fiaticr ourselves with Imping, that no factious junto, either in Boston,- Hartford or Annapolis, will interfere to disturb the unanimity of the great American family. We trust that governor Brooks’ speech will be dissem inated not only over all America, but over the- whale of the British empire, as a proof of the return of “correct principles”, in New-England—the man who is capable of giving so clear an idea of the difference between tlie ori gin of American and English liberty—who tells us “th at virtue is the great conservator of republics”- 7 —that expe rience has proved the excellence 01 the federal govern ment—and, that Massachusetts will be amongst tlie last to impair the union of the States—such a man, we think, is not a Monarchist, but a true friend to the integrity and independence of the Americas Republic.—Baltimore American. At the dinner and ball, given by the lord Mayor, on Easter Monday—among the busts of celebrated "charac ters tliat adorned the room, we find Franklin in com pany with George HI. Fox, Pitt, &c. and Washington, Bonaparte, and Oliver Cromwell, with Wellington, &c.— Now, although our revolutionary fathers, honored by the lord mayor, were much greater enemies of England than even Bonaparte himself; and certa-ni- more successful rebels than Oliver Cromwell—yet a ministerial print has generously passed them over, and only fallen fcul of Na- E oleon and Oliver. The style in which the lord mayor, is dinner and its ornaments are abused, is certainly a proof that, let Cobbett say what he wiU, the Liber ty of the Press in England is well established and enjoyed to the greatest excess—especially when exerted against tlie enemies of the ministry, or the friends of liberal senti ment.—Southern Patriot. “FORTY MORE—KILL THEM TOO.” CAPTAIN BOBABIL. 1 From a London paper. WATERLOO BRAVERY. Among the recent Gazette appointments is that of sergeant Ewart to an ensigney in the third royal veteran battalion, for his gallant conduct at tlie battle of Water loo. In the afternoon (of that eventful day, the 92d re giment reduced to 200, charged a column of the enemy from 2000 to 3000 strong; they broke into the centre of the column, and the moment they pierced it, the Scotch greys dashed in to their support, when both these gallant corps cheered and huzzaed, “Scotland for ever!”—The enemy to a man were Jiut to tlie sword, or made pri soners. The greys afterwards charged the second line, which amounted to nearly 5000 men. It was in the first that sergeant Ewart ca, tured a French eagle; the affair is thus modestly detailed by himself:—“I had a hard con test for it; the officer Who carried it thurst for mv groin; I parried it oft' and cut him through the head; after which I was attacked by orte of the lancers, who threw his lance at me; but missed the mark by my throwing it off'with my sword by my right side; then I cut him from tlie chin upwards, whiqh went through his teeth. Next I was attacked by a foot soldier, who after firing, charg ed me with the bayonet, but I parried it off', and after wards cut him through the head; so that finished the contest for tlie eagle. % ANECDOTE OF WELLINGTON AND HIS ARMY. From the memoranda of an European traveller, in a Boston paper. Iam perfectly well informed, though surprised to learn, that lord Wellington, notwithstanding his uniform and unparalelled success, is exceedinglv unpopular in the ar my,both with officers and men. Tfiisis attributed to his unbending pride and unyielding severity. Their commis sariat, now the best in tlie world, was extremely faulty when they were in Spain. Fourteen French commissaries were bribed to come over to them, but the defect was found to exist notin tlife system, which Was superior to the French, but in its execution. The soldiers were of ten starving from the- negligence and peculation of un principled commissaries—instead of hanging thtm as they deserved, lord W ellington had soldiers hung by do zens for touching tlie slightest food of the inhabitants.— This caused the greatest discontents, and lord Hill open ly pronounced Ins general order against the irregularities of die troops, a libel on'the army. He is charged also with employing a few Scotch and Irish divisions in ail the most bloody and desperate fghting, and favoring some corps officered by noblemen, which from not fighting, are, by tire soldiers, very aptly termed invincibles. The.best opinion is, that lord Wellington has been equalled, perhaps surpassed, in genius and enterprise, but never in grand scientific professional calculation!!! SENATORS FOR MASSACHUSETTS.
