CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN NEWS ' Received at Mew- York by the ship Emily, captain Robin son, in thirly-Jive days from Amsterdam. Loxdox, July 20. The Flanders’ mail contains a letter from Lisle, in Which the prefect of the department, in a circular to the sub-prefects, calls upon all soldiers, having unlimited furloughs, to serve mthe legions of the north. It denies the intention of the government to carry war into dis- taat countries, but states, “that France is in -want of an army, which may be the shield of the monarch and the glory of die nation!” “France is in want of an army.”— Title!—the assertion is beyond doubt. An army -would 'be the shield of the monarch and the glory of the' nation; but, aawe have heretofore observed, is this the precise «*ifnoment for creating an army—and must she not delay ■her thirst for glory till some fairer opportunity? ! A letter from Cadiz saya—“On the 25th current, at a 'small distance from oujt port, four ships coming, two from Vera-Cruz, and two from Havana, were captured by two armed sloops, bearing the flag of the independent provinces of Monte-Video. All that the French and Eng lish papers have published about the measures taken by our government to destroy these- pirates is false. Hith erto not £ single shallop has been armed against them. The. four ships had on board, it is said, four hundred thousand dollars in piasters, and some colonial goods. This event has thrown all the commercial places of An dalusia into consternation. These unhappy colonists, who had set sail front the new world to fly from a coun try.delivered up.to all the horrors of anarchy, are also cobbed of the little they had been able to bring with thera»even at the moment when they had.arrived in that port. The crews of the ships have been set on shore.” The Brighton paper says:—Captain Wombwell, of the first regiment of life guards, who had Undertaken, for a bet of five hundred guineas, to drive a tandem from the Marsh-gate, Westminster-bridge, to the King’s Arms-inn, George-street, in this town, without ciiaoging hordes, -Started precisely at four o’clock yesterday morning, and arrival here before nine, notwithstanding'every cusad- •vantage m respect to weather, (the rain falling in tor rents die whole of the time) and the consequent bad etate of the roads.

The belles of distinctioh . have at present a peculiar penchant for Indian diamond.clasps, which are exhibit ed for sale at 200 guineas each. A diamond dove and olive branch, curiously formed as an ornament for the hair, is also a fashionable bijou, at the price of only 70011 . ; There is another artiqge of luxury in the selections of elevated rank—we allude to a fine set of chessmen.— The important idea which players have of that game, will frequently exCite desire to procure a correct similitude of the troops, castles, king, queen and other powers that are put in motion and in order to accord with the received opinion that chess is of Indian origin, the modem 'taste is to have the pieces Curiously fcarved in ivory, after the custome, manners and customs of Per sians and Indians. A set of the latter description is com monly sold for 50 guineas, and the purchaser is proud of his acquisition. We have mentioned a low price for these .objects of fancy; sets have been sold at 500 guin eas, and considered cheap. Some carved in India, which have adorned the cabinets of the greatest princes and statesmen, who devoted so much time to the study of chess, are invaluable. [But the people are starving!] Among the witnesses called upon the trial of sir Ro bert Wilson, Hutchinson and Bruce, was madame Lava- lktte, whose entrance was preceded by a “murmur ex pressive of the interests and curiosity of the audience.” When she appeared, says the French paper, “Wilson, Hutchinson and Bruce saluted her with a profound bow.” Were we French courtiers, expatiating on a profound bow made to a princess, we could talk for half an hour of this interesting piece of homage; but we shall content ourselves with saying, on the present occasion, that the homage was no doubt truly profound, and that the au dience witnessed one of the finest situations that private or public virtue could exhibit—a noble minded woman saluted and seen for the first time by three congenial spirits of the other sex, who had perfected the salvation of her husband. She is described as being so agitated, as scarcely able to articulate her name, or to reply in an swer to a question respecting her age, “twenty seven— I believe.” She took an opportunity of saying, that it was not fear thatscaused her agitation, but the novelty of her situation. Doubtless the sight of her husband’s saviours must have added to it. Yet this glorious woman, whose courage was evident ly owing to nothing but her conjugal affection, is one of those ladies of Bonaparte’s court, who are described as having been so shameless and hard hearted Her cousin, the queen of Holland, was another, till Louis made her the dutchess' of St. Lieu; and so was the empress Jose phine, (another Beauhamois) till Bonaparte repudiated her. Those vulgar minded assumptions, which betray ed their authors, will now cheat the world no longer.— People pretty well understand by this time, who are the shameless and who are the hard hearted. Moxtreae, August 24. ( We are happy to understand, that lieutenant general sir Gordon Drummond, arrived in England after a pas sage of only twenty two days. It is said sir Gordon was most graciously received by the prince regent, and that all the measures of his administration in Canada had been highly approved of by his majesty’s government. We learn sir Gordon was offered the government of No- va Scotia,-which he declined accepting. It is also report ed that further military honors were to be conferred on him besides a handsome pension. There is another occurrence, which is complained of by our republican neighbors, of an American vessel hav ing been boarded efl' Amherstburg, by a British naval officer, in search of diserters. What these particulars will end in, is impossible to conjecture; but it seems there out to be some 'rule established, to prevent such frequent irritation. When a British or an'American vessel, in time of peace, approaches the foreign shore, itnvould appear that there is no right of search or even boarding, except by order of civil authority, when smuggling is suspect ed, or some attempt being made to carry off sailors or soldiers from their respective services in either country. When a vessel enters a port, she is only subjected to the xnuncipal laws of the state. Whether the vessels which have lately been searched near Detroit, where in what is called the harbour of Amherstburg, or not we do not know; but we should bedisposed to believe that'the Amer icans make a much greater noise in that quarter, than is at all justifiable; and that they havenot suffered'the insults of which they so loudly complain. FROM THE EAST INDIES. . Accounts are received at this place,'direct from India, as late as April 4; they state admiral Biile had arrived at Madras, and after a few days stay, had embarked for the Danish settlements in India; of which the admiral had been appointed governor, that a proclamation had been issued at the Isle of France, whereby it was ordered “that all commanders of vessels entering Port Louis, sub mit their journals to the inspection of a public officer of government appointed for tlie purpose, who will make any extracts from them which ne may deem useful for encreasing our knowledge of the coast of Madagascar and Africa, and the intricate navigations of the Archipelago, on the northeastern part of Madagascar—and generally, ■ April.

INDIAN NEWS. Nicholas Boulviir, esq. the Indian agent,•resident as Prairie de Chieh, informs us that the remaining hostile bands of the Winehagoes and Fallavoine nations may be expected shortly to treat with the commissioners. Several white’ men have bten lately murdered by the Pawnee and Osage Indians: The Pawnees justify the act as defending their hunting grounds from the whites. But the Osage and Pawnees declare that the few whites who visit their country as hunters, kill more buffaloe in one year than would support both their nations (con taining 10.000 persofis) for the same period. It is said that 5000 buffaloe Were killed last year, all to procure one boat load of tallow. It is a well known fact, that thousands Of those animals are killed for the sake of their tongue* and tallow. The Osages complain that settlements are forming in the most of their hunting country, 500 miles west of the Mississippi. This is about half Way to the Spanish villages in Mexico. It is conjectured that the tndiahs ft ho have committed the late depredations at the Boon’s lick settlements, are a party of Slacks and VVinebagoes, who were returning from an expedition against some tribes of Missouri In dians, with whom they are at war. Treaties will not bind these people, fear wjll only restrain them. Inci dents in the! proceedings'of brigadier general Smith ful ly illustrate' this assertion. The general With about 1000 regular troops ascended the Rock river a few weeks ago to erect ia fort; and chose a place on Rock island,* the rhost commanding spot in.that quarter, and imme diately commenced building. The Indian chiefs pressed him to desist, declaring that they could not be responsi ble for the conduct of their young warriors who disap- probated building a fort in their neighborhood; the ge neral treated them civilly but went on with the work, and no doubt by this time has a fortress of great strength completed. A person who left there a few days:ago, represents the Indians as friendly and much attached to general Smith, who was preparing to go to Prairie de Chieh to erect a strong fort in that neighborhood.

Though we do not intend to publish minutes of the proceedings (during its progress) on the trial of gene- al Games we will mention the organization of the court, &C. when ,it takes place. The members and witnesses being present to-day, with the exception of general Mil ler; general Scott inquired ot general Gaines, the prose cutor, (lieutenant colonel Trimble) and the judge-advo- cate, whether they wished to wait another day for the ar rival of general Miller. General Gaines replied, tliat, though he should like to see general Miller on the court, yet that was not material. He had some objections to the mode of proceeding, which he should state at large to-morrow, relative to the charges exhibited, &c.! Col onel Trimble barely answered to the' question that he was quite indifferent whether general Miller should be on the court martial or not, however happy he might be to see that officer. General Scott, then, (about a quar ter before one o’clock,) adjourned the court tiH 10 a. m. to-morrow. The following is a list of the members: Phesident—Major general Scott. Members—Brigadier generals Porter, Swift and Mil ler;* colonels Brady, Atkinson and Mitchell: lieutenant colonels Ball, House, Croghan, Arbuckle, Pinkney, and Towson; and majors Crane, Humphrey, andStockdon.

We should certainly avoid, in future, the mtrodnrw of ahy article in our treaties which is not absolutely * qiiisite, and which may . be calculated to hurt the rJu or give offence to a third power with whom v.-e are in ■ m ity. Treaties are and must be considered as cnrnfn ng, to continue uninterruptedly the amity and inter est necessary, to the contracting parties, and to make it permanent, it must have a real, not a colorable reci'r ro ' ty. It may be very gratifying for us to khow, that « e power and energy sufficient to compel the Dty 0 f giers to allow us, the privilege of selling British prizes in his ports, and, at the same time, to prohibit tlm Brio* from selling American ones; but this would strike us being very unjust; and, consequently, v«y impolitic * our true interest is to support frank and open measures;,, our negotiations and treaties.

THE PAINTER DAVID. This celebrated artist, notwithstanding the aeeount ot his execution, published in the Paris papers, appear to be still alive. The Moniteur of June 21, says, that he has been exiled; and also disappointed in his views. He wished to be employed by the king of Prussia as inspec tor of arts; but his request had been refused. As some account of this extraordinary character, who has figured as much upon the political stage, as in the theatre of arts, may be interesting, we give our readers the following particulars of him, from the pen of sir John Carr, a tra velling Englishman, who knows and writes a little upon every subject: “During my stay in Papis, I visited the gallery of David This celebrated artist has amassed a fortune of upwards of two hundred thousand pounds, and is permitted by his great patron and friend Bonaparte, to occupy the comer wing of the old palace, from which every other man of genius and science, who was entitled to reside there, has been removed to other places, in order to make room for the reception of the grand national libra ry, which the first consul intends to have deposited there. His assortments are ve*y magnificent, and fur nished in that taste, which he has, by the influence of his fame, and his elegance of design, so widely and.sue- cessfully diffused.
