CBy Lord'Byron.J Let Edinburgh, critics (FerwheTm with their praises; f Their Madhm de Stall, and their fam’d L’Epinasse; Like a meteor at best, proud Philosophy blazes, And the fame of a Wit, is as brittle as glass: But ckeering’s the beam, and unfading the splendor Of thy torch, Wedded love! and it never-lias yet ■Shone with lustre more holy, more pure, or more tender. Thun it shed3 on the name of the fair Lav alette. Then fill high the wine-cup, e’en Virtue shall bless it, And hallow the goblet which foams to her name; The warm lip of Beauty shall piously press it, And Hr met shall honor the pledge to her fame: To the health of the Woman, who freedom and life too Has risk’d for her husband, ire’ll pay the just debt, And hail with applause the Heroine and Wife too, The constant, the noble, the fair Lav alette. Her foes have awarded, in impotent malice, To their c.antive a doom, which all Europe abhors, And turns from the stairs of the Priest-haunted palace, While those who replaced them there, blush for their cause: But, in ages to come, when the blood-tarnished glory Of Dukes and of Marshals, in darkness hath set, Hearts shall throb, eves shall glisten, at reading the story Of the fond self-devotion of fair Lavalette. An Escape similar to that of Lavalette.—When Cavades, king of Persia, was imprisoned by his subjects, in conse- quence of the odious use he made of his authority the queen carried him whatever he stood jn need of, but without obtaining permission to see him. The officer, by whom he was guarded, having conceived a passion for her, gave her leave to write to hef husband. She then requested that she might be allowed to visit him; but the gaoler to this favor attached certain conditions. The queen in formed her husband, who desired her to flatter a passion which plight be of so much utility to them both. She at last obtained an interview, in which Cavades learned that a faithful friend, named Sesosis, had in readiness a body of guards, who as soon as he should make his escape, ■would accompany him wherever he might think proper. In consequence of this precaution, the necessary measures being concerted, the queen dressed herself in the king’s clothes, and the latter escaped in the dress of a female. The queen remained a prisoner, and was treated with severity rather than clemency. — .in LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. Boston-, July 13. By the ship Brutus, which arrived this day from Lon don, we have received London papers to the 31st of May, from which the following articles are extracted: London, May 31. The British funds continue to rise—owing to the eco nomy displaved by government, in the recent numerous retrenchments. Mr. Canning has accepted the office of president of the board of control; and a member of parliament is to be chosen in his stead for Liverpool. Mr.,Brougham gave notice of a motion for the destruc tion of the treasury records of the income tax. The chancellor o f the exchequer said they should be destroy ed. The object of Mr. B. is supposed to have been partly to shew a detestation of the tax, and partly because it was improper tor government to possess a schedule of each,man’s property. Lord Grenville last night, gave notice in parliament, of a motion for the next session, tending to enforce a regis tration of slaves in the West-Indies, and lord Bathurst .declared government to be ready to concur in effecting the measure. Our Paris dates are to May 27. A son of Boissy d’Anglas has been arrested. Also count de Thiars. The frigate Amphitrite, and the Louvre, flute, have sailed from France for Pondicherry, with count Dupy and suite, govern >r of the French possessions in India. A squadron from Guad:doupe Was to sail the beginn ing of June. Lady Hester Stanhope, niece and companion of the late William Pitt, (according to the French papers) is now at the head of the Bedouin Arabs in Egypt. She had been an extensive traveller in company with Bruce, lately tried at Paris, and from the feeble timid woman, has be come a strong and courageous amazon. Her followers look upon her as a superior being, and she declares she- ivill never forsake them. Miss O’Xeili has refused two thousand guineas for an engagement of three weeks at the Birmingham theatre. Office of the JY F. Commercial Advertiser, Alow lay, July 15—.Yoon. From our very attentive and obliging correspondent in "London, we have this morning (by the way of Boston) received the London New Price Current of the 28th of ’May, Lloyd’s List, of the same date, and London papers of the 27th and 30th. Extracts from each will be found in the Commercial Advertiser this evening. Mr. Canning and suite, from Lisbon, via. Bordeaux, ar rived at Plymouth, in the frigate Granicus, on the 26th May. London, fa ay 27. Since our last we have received the Paris papers of Wedncsdav, Thursday and Friday. Arrests of the dis affected still continue in various purls < f France. A ge neral Chartran has been shot at Lisle, in pursuance of his sentence, for joining Bonaparte. This miserable vic tim of the times wouldhave been pardoned, we presume, but for the recent disturbances at Grenobie. Courier Ertvaordinary of Friday morning-. Several small detachments of convalescent foreign sol diers daily leave Paris to join their respective regiments. Sunday last, at 3 p. w. the police arrested, near the Rotunda of Vil-tte, on the left of the Basin of that name, five criminals who had escaped from the galleys. The arrest of Didier was owing to the care of two of his accomplices, who hoped to obtain their pardon at this price. Some papers were found upon him, which were seized, but sixty-three francs only in money were found on him. P i tus, May 24. Travellers from various pars of France agree in say ing, that never did the fields exhibit such luxuriant crops. On the 6th of May, there arrived at Perpignon under the guard of gend’armie, a Spanish general, who was first supposed to be the famous Mina, but who turns out to be Vasco. He was shut up irt the military prison of Castiiiet, from which he was sent into Spain under a good escort, on the 8th. Grenoble, May 18. Itis already known that a reward of 20,000 francs has been offered for the capture of Didier; rewards of 3000 francs have also been ordered for the capture of Audre Brim, called the dromedary, ex-colonel; and Boillet, a retired chief of battalion, his accomplices; other rewards of leas amount are offered for the capture of Charvet, usher an Vizille; Burif, ex-major ofVanjaury and Du- frenes and Guillot, two officers on half pay, residing in the commune of La Mure. The disarming continues with success throughout the whole of the (department. It is carried into effect bv cor imissaries7 _ who are accompanied by a detachment of Loops of the line. David, one of the persons condemned by the prevotai court, was executed on the 16th, in pursuance of the or der of government. Venice, May 12. The audacity of certain malcontents here appears to make a mock of the measures which the police take against them. Almost every morning placards inviting to resistance are found stuck up in the public squares, especially those of St. Mark and the Arsenal. One of these placards stated that the association of Unitarians has become European. It is thus that some agitators think to connect the political affairs of Europe with their incendiary reveries. A mail from Holland also arrived this forenoon, with Dutch papers to the 26th. They - are chiefly occupied with details respecting the late disturbances at Greno ble, but the accounts are less recent than have already been before our readers. Several inhabitants of Conde have been summoned to Paris as witnesses upon the tri al of general Bonnaire for the murder of colonel Gor don. Several French officers who lately quitted France, crown prince of Sweden. The following is abstract of a private letter, dateii Paris, May 11. * “Among the criminals who hare been arrested fieri is one who has confessed that he had the commission tc assassinate a great personage. These wretches called the crime which they had planned, “the stroke of five,’ alluding to the number of the members of a great femili. • A son of Boissy d’Anglas, peer of Prance, is arrested.—h 1’his young man was formerly sous-inspector under Bo naparte, after the 20th March. His father was at thai time sent as extraordinary commissioner from the usur per to the departments. Among the arrested is also the count de Thiars, lately one of Bonaparte’s chamberlains, who formerly Commanded in Dresden. The public tran quility has not been disturbed in Paris for a moment by these events. The plan of the conspirators was a very Foolish one: it was their idea to get England on their side, by leaving it to the prince regent to decide on the new dynasty to be placed on the French throne. It is remarkable enough that this plan was simultaneous with the attempt to surprise Grenoble. London, May 30. The public papers, and our private letters received this morning, from those parts of the country which con stitute the scene of the late riots, are satisfactory. A disposition to riot, however, nad manifested itself among the pitmen on the Wear; and apprehensions of _ distur bances were entertained at Wisbech: hut we'rejoice to find, that the provincial papers wmch announce these new cases, at the same time remove ail anxiety for the result The following are extracts: Newcastle-upos-Tvne, May 28. “We are concerned to state, that serious disturbances have broken out amongst the pitmen and otlir workmen connected with the collieries upon the Wear. Several hundreds of them are off work, upon the ostensible ground of their present wages being inadequate to their support, while tne price of bread corn continues so very much higher than it has been. We can readily believe that the distress amongst them is very great: but that dis tress appears to us to arise from a Want or dimunition of employment, than from the present wages ot labor, as compared with the advanced price of corn.” [Here follow some observations upon the com bill, in which that measure is represented as impolitic and de trimental to the commerce of the Tyne and Wear.] The article concludes thus:—In concluding tins arti cle we are liappv to have it in our power to state, that the pitmen and other misguided workmen upon the Wear, have, through the prompt and, vigorous exertions of the magistrates, aided by two troops of cavalry from New castle, been induced to return to their work. We under stand eight of the ringleaders were taken into custody on Saturday and committed to Durham gaol. No dis position of joining’them was at any time evinced by the pitmen upon the Ti ne.”—Tyne Mercury. ISLE OF ELY RIOTERS. Elt, May 29. Several of the riotous prisoners who had fled, have been brought in, in the course of the last two days; three or four of them are delegates, who had been ac tive to raise the different parts of the island, to join the Littlcport body. Lord Francis Osborne, who has acted as vice-lieutenant for Cambridgeshire, in the absence of iiieeari of Hardwicke, joined the bench of magistrates yesterday. Tlu examinations are continuing. The following persons have been fufiy committed, as number of others will be, to be tried before a special commission, expected soon to issue, liz. John Dennis, Tiiom.iSSmith, Joseph, alias l ade Easy, Jes- sop, Cheviile, Robert Cr.fi>, Jefferson, Robert Salmon, W. Benius, jun. James Cambell, Richard Rutttr, fee. fee. Seven more persons remain in custody, charg ed with capital offences, and about twent;--four have been liberated on their recognizance, who appear to have been pressed into this desperate service. The magistrates, finding that they could now dispense with further military assistance, directed that the first re giment of dragoon guards, under colonel Acklum, should fail back to Cambridge, and that the artillery should pro ceed to Newmarket. That long swivel pieces, wild fowl guns, and other arms, about sixty in number, are now placing on the ivall of the military depot. The pub lic peace is now happily restored throughout the island. We hear that lieutenant-general the earl of Dalhousie, is appointed governor of Nova Scotia, and commander of the forces in that province.—Edinburgh. Courant. From Saturday Alight's Gazette. Whitehall, May 25.' Whereas it has been humbly represented to his royal highness the prince regent, that a great number of per sons have for some time past unlawfully assembled them selves together in divers parts of the counties of Nor folk, Suffolk, Huntington and Cambridge, and have cir culated threatening letters and incendiary handbills, held nightly meeting;, and set fire to several dwelling houses, barns, outbuildings, and sacks of corn, and have destroy ed cattle, corn, thrashing machines, and other instru ments of husbandry. His royal highness seeing the mischievous conse quences which must inevitably ensue, as well to the peace of the kingdom, as to the lives and property of his m ijesty’s subjects, from such illegal and dangerous pro ceeding’s, if not speedily suppressed, and being firmlv resolved to cause the laws to be put into execution for the punishment of such as offend against them, is hereby pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his majesty, to promise and declare, that any person or persons who shall discover and apprehend, the authors, abettors or perpetrators of any of the felonies or outrages above- mentio > , so that they, or any of them may be duly con victed ti.vi-eof; shall be entitled to the sum of 100/. for each and every person who shall be convicted of any of the aforesaid felonies. And his royal highness is further pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his majesty to promise his most gracious pardon t any person or persons concerned in the violent and illegal proceedings in question, upon making such discovery as aforesaid, except any person who shall have been a principal in the commission of any of the felonious offences hovementioned.

M. Carrol and E. T. Poe, the Spanish order of Charles III.] The Paris papers of Monday arrived tlii3 morning.— The following are extracts: Paris, May 27. It is said the king will go, on the 12A .Tune, to Fon- tainbleau, where her royal highness the duchess of Bern will arrive on the 15th, and that the marriage will be cel ebrated on the 17th, in the metropolitan cliurch of Paris. A German journal states, thatM. Fouche, duke of Ot ranto, continues to occupy himself with writing his polit ical memoirs. He proposes to publish them in the form of letters. The latest letters from London confirm the news that Savary and general Lallemand have obtained permission to leave Malta, and have embarked for the United States. Extract from a letter, dated Genoa, May 12. “ A great number of French and Spanish ships have arrived in our ports, which is blocked up with ship ping. The merchants bejjpn to engage in speculations, to which the guarantees of peace give prosperity. We have sent off great quantities of goods to the Levant, Ger many and a i the ports of Italy.” Fresh prohibitations have been issued against the meet ings of persons under prescribed denominations, such as charcoal-burnes, Philadelphia, free Italians, Scotch, friends of union, fee. The police lias been ordered to re double its vigilance, and to seize wherever they may be found, those symbols which sCrve for a rallying point in the ceremonies on meetings of those societies. The freemasons are strictly watched as well as others. Pub lic security is worth some Sacrifice. The wise measures of the government are applauded, Brussels papers to the 27th arrived this morning. A contagious distemper has broken out on the coast of Nor way, to the north of Bergen, which appears to have ex cited considerable alarm.

It will therefore, probably, close about the end of .^une. It has been a very sharp and ustfull session.— Never did resistance to the ministers display itself in a more constitutional form, with more honor to itself, with nore usefulness to the country. private correspondence. • Paris, May 25. A singular report circulates her relative to the Dutch ess de Str.'Lleu. It is said, that the authors of the late conspiracy being in want of money to carry it into effect, .pplied to that iadv. for assistance, confiding to bier their plans, which, of course, held out to her and her family the most brilliant prospects; that the dutchess, after ap parently entering into iheir view's, to become more tho roughly acquainted with them, wrote to M. de Cozes, who was formerly attached to her person, when queen of Hol land, over whom she is known to have preserved much influence, to inform him, that She had communications to make to him of the highest moment to the State and that the kind treatment she had experienced from the king, prescribed it as a duty to her, to give notice of designs in agitation against his life and his throne; that M. de Cazes immediately sent her passports, with which she secretly came to Baris, and disclosed to the minister all the par ticulars of the conspiracy. This report, such as I give it. came from the court, where they cannot but be well inform ed on the subj ect; but from the very circumstance of its pro ceeding from that source, it may be considered as a fable, contrived to throw distrust amongst the opposite party. Some people even go so far as to affirm, that there never existed any conspiracy at all, save the pubiic opinion, which is a secret to no one, and that M. de. Cazes seeing his influence on the decline, invented this conspiracy himself, that the service rendered by its supposed discove ry, might strengthen him in his ministerial scat. The ministry, notwithstanding its recent modification, is still divided. One part would pursue a moderate, the other a rash system; which division throws embarrasment and inconsistency into the proceedings of government. This circumstance, his majesty, in truth, does not much lament; because this ministry is by no means to his mind, or in any way that of liis choice. He said but the other day, “my ministers were complained of last year, but those of the-present, are they much wiser; or, do they not cause the\ former to be regretted?” To those who understand the king, this means, AT. dr Blacas is superi or to them all. The fact is, that the king has a peculiar predilection for this personage. From the embassy of Naples, M. de Blacas passes to that of Rome. He comes in time to put his signature to, and to take to himself all the honors of the new concordate prepared with much labor by the bishop of St. MaTo. The return of the min ister is one day announced, and the next contradicted; all for the purpose offceling and preparing the public miud on the subject. It will be seen that the latent and fondest wish of his majesty is to form a new ministry, in which M. de Blacas will take the lead, and that event will take place on the first convenient opportunity. A ciT nge is at this moment spoken of, with a view to restore harmony in the cabinet. It is proposed to throw out the Ultras. Clarke, the mos* ’conspicuous of them, would, in that c se, be replaced by Marinont. Both the affair of Grenoble, and that of Nismes are now represented as not being the result of a conspiracy, but as having originated in accident. The first of these is attributed to the arrest of a highly respected individual in the neighborhood of Grenoble, whom the prefect hud ordered to be secretly arrested by the mayor; the latter having refused. the prefect desired him to invite the indi vidual in question to the prefecture, for the purpose of mere explanation, promising he should not be arrested. This promise was, however, broken, and the peasants of the neighborhood, informed of the circumstance, present ed themselves varioulv armed to the number of 12 or 1500, before Grenoble, for the purpose of demanding his release. They were fired upon, and hence arose the disturbance in that quarter. The massacre of Nismes began at the celebration of a Protestant wedding. The parties were grossly insulted by some catholics—blows ensued. The bridegroom fell in the affray, and in the result upwards of one hundred and sixty persons, men, women and children were massa cred. They also set fire to the house of the prote3tants in question, by means of which, several adjoining houses were destroyed. London, May 30. For the information of the shipping interest.

The repairs of the light house of Skaga or Skaw, on the northern points of Jutland, in Denmark, will on that account, be extinguished on that day, and will continue so till the close of the month of August. After having undergone the necessary repairs, the light will have the same elevation as before, but like the light on the is land of Anholt, it will be enclosed in a lantern, where by the effect of the wind will be avoided, and it will be seen from all sides burning with a steady flame. II. F»-Hiirne>tan, Tils Danish majesty's consul-general. An article from Stockholm corroborates the accounts to which we have more than once a lluded, of there be ing a disposition somewhere to restore the ancient dy nasty of Sweden, and reduce the present crown prince to a private station. Several of the state dignitaries have been degraded, but the nature of their offence is not de clared. Bernadette is endeavoring to strengthen himself by a foreign alliance, and a daughter of Prussia is solicit ed for his son Oscar. We do not think that this match will ensue, especially as a coldness towards Bernadotteis perceptible in many quarters. Several farmers who lately occupied about four thou sand acres of Lnd in Lincolnshire, have recently emi grated to America, after having sold their live and dead stock. They were accompanied by the curate of the village. On Tuesday next, the Belvidere frigate is to be drag ged up from the water, by main force, upon the slip, from which the Palias was lately launched, there to be repaired, instead of taken into dock; this ive believe is an experiment that has never been tried here with a larger vessel than the commissioner’s yatch, and will he a no vel and interesting sight. A house of considerable consequence in the linen trade, stopped payment on Thursday, in consequence of the almost general stagnation in the commercial world. From the Evening Star and Morning Herald. A Paris (newspaper) article, dated 24th May, says— “During the short duration of the mad rebellion at Gren oble, Didier, (who instigated the rebellion at Grenoble, and was taken upon the Piedmontese territory) had assu med the title of intendant general of the Army of Inde pendence; a man named Couchon, called himself Marshal Grouchy; and a schoolmaster of La Mure called himself count Bertrand. These wretches had also cloathed a peasant in a dress covered with gold and decorations, and they always appeared before him with their hats off” A private fetter from Paris, of 22d May, after an nouncing the arrest of of Caulaincourt, (Bonaparte’s duke of Vicenza) says—“M. Manuel, so distinguished for his patriotism and eloquence in the house of Representa tives, has been also arrested, togerher with 54 persons of less note. While with a view to quiet the Thuilleries, Paris is kept in this state of perturbation, the religious and political fanaticism of the South has broken out^with increased fury. “We learnj from good authority, that in the course of last week a general rising took place at Nismes, which terminated in the massacre of a. great number of the Pro testants, and in the destruction of their dwellings. It is confidently stated, that at least one half of the city lias fallen a prey to the flames. “Government had received notice, it appears, of Van- damme’s being in the vicinity of Paris. Searches were inconsequence made in every quarter, and in one instance a detachment of gend’armes was ordered to surround an inn at Versailles, where he was supposed to be secreted, these men closely examined every person found in the house, and being disappointed in'their principal object, they, to justify their inquisitorial proceedings, carried off, as suspicious characters, three individuals who happened to be unprovided with passports. “Private letters from Lyons describe the pretended en thusiasm for royalty in very different terms from the statements which have lately appeared in the papers. “I he national guard, instead of spontaneously offering to march against their fellow citizens at Grenoble, were compelled by the menacing interference of gendar merie and royal guard, to proceed in separate detachments upon the road to that city.

From the ,Yattonal Intelligencer, THE CHEROKEE TREATY The animadversions against the late convention with the Cherokees, which have recently appeared in some of the public papers of Tennessee, are of the’most violent character. It is broadly asserted in those papers, tr.at the government lias ceiled a large portion of the lands ob tained from the Creeks in 1814, to the Cherokee s. The frequent repetition of these assertions have induced us to examine the subject, as Eras we have been ab.e to 11- tain the materials necessary to such an investigation -- From these it appears, that the northern and western bounct.u-ies of the cession are left undefined in the tr-.tr with the Creeks in 1814. To ascertain the extent h.t cession in those directions, it becomes necessary to es tablish the extent of the Creek title on the north amiuu the west. The first affects the interests of the ( n- ro- kees and Chickasaws, according to the claims which lv-e been urged by them respectively. The second aiitets the interests of the Chickasaws and Choctows, upon the same principles. It is contended by some of those pa pers, that the Creek title extended to the Tennessee riv er, to a point where die Creek path crosses that stream, near the angle of Madison county, upon that river, and that it extends westwardly along the Tennessee to ts mouth of Cauev creek, and from the head, of that creel to tiie Cotton Gin Post on the Tombigby river, wliich is represented to be about sixty miles south of the bend of Tennessee. It is believed that the lines run bv gene ral Coffee, correspond with this delineation. Others con tend that the Creek territory intersected the Tennessee river at Nickajack, near a hundred miles higher up, be ing that much tb tire eastward of the point before de scribed. In corroboration of the claim thus made, itis asserted, that the Cherokees never owned any land to the south of tlie Tennessee. It is proper to observe, that the treaties of the United States, or of the state of Georgia, with the Creek nation, furnish no evidence of the boundaries of that tribe, except on the Georgia side. By the treaties of 1772, concluded with the Cherokees and with the Creeks, by the provin cial government of Georgia, at which both tribes were present, it appears, that the corner between those tribes had been previously fixed at a certain point on Little river, by those tre;—its, and run from thence along the ridge dividing the waters falling into little river on tbe east, and Broad river on the west, to a place then marked by the provincial commissioners, and called the Ch-ro* kee corner, which is within about eight miles of \thens, the site of the university of Georgia. In the year 1783, treaties were again entered into with those tribes, on the part of Georgia by which the Cherokee fine W»s extt nded to the high shoals of the Appalachee—the Cnerokees ceding a large district of country on the west, and the Creeks a still larger on the east of that line.
