We are inviolably attached to the monarchical go -wrmment, and to the legitimate succession of die reigri big house re.) 2. We adopt entirely the principles of the constitu tional charter, the division of powers which it has estab lished (2s) we wHl maintain It in spirit, and will enter 'upon the consequences of the system, as the most rea sonable substitute if old institutions, liberties, and fran- 'Cliises. 3. We do not look back to the past except to derive ■from R lessons for the future, and we wish to place be tween both a wall of brass (3.) Thus, it is our under- tstanding that all interests created by the revolution, which are completed, should be irrevocably secured (4.) We will maintain the jdbolition of privileges and privileg ed orders as poetical bodies (5,) the equality of right »nd of admission to all offices, liberty of worship (6,) the \ alienation of estates operated in the course of the revolu tion, of whatever origin (7-,) but we no longer admit incline to conie the anplication of the principles which - created these interests, and we regard them as destruc tive of all government (8.) 4/ We think that the new institutions should be re. .placed on the old and immovable bases of religion and morals. It is For this reason that we would give the cler gy an honorable independence, the administration of property or of revenues which may secure to them that Independence (9;) in fine, a civil existence; and at the same time to associate them with the dearest interests of the sta f e, by nuiking them participate in public educa tion (10,> and in the administration of establishments cfmsecrated to the solace and welfare of humanity, 5. On the same principles, we wish to replace the law's under a greater moral influence, to eflr.ee that which is contrary to religion, that which is opposed to public mo rals (11;) in fine, all that is not consonant to the spirit Of monarchy. It is in this view that we claim a revision of the civil and criminal laws; we desire, at the same time, tfWit the magistracy should be environed with the great- consideration. ’ 6. We believe that the police ought neither to be an diiious inquisition nor an agent of despotism, but a guar antee for the t roue, and a magistracy serving to enligbt- tlie government as to public opinion, and that opin ion as to its true in’erests. We believe that the press ■fought to be free, but that severe measures should re train its abuses (12.) 7. We wish France to recover the entire independ ence of its territory; and the first means which we con ceive to attain tbi ; Is the full and entire execution of the Engagements contracted with the "allied powers. We tfkve the same wish to maintain honorable alliances, and \ve regard the prosperity of the nations which surround us as the first pledge of that of France. ' 8. Disabused for ever of all spirit of aggrandizement, we wish a national army, which, contracted in time of peace, may in time of war open its ranks to numerous soldiers; and we do not look upon as lost to France, the military, whom, drawn in by extraordinary circumstan ces, it became necessary to disband, but who by their talents and valor, contribute to the safety of the country as thev have contributed to its glory 9. We think that the interests of the subject ought, in great part, to be confided to iocai administrations, whether municipal, departmental, or provincial; that the centralization of all transactions and decisions in the offi ce* of the ministry is an abuse, that it ought to cease, by confiding more extended powers to superior agents atelegated by the ministers. It is on these principles that we claim a revision of the administrative laws (13.) 10. We.place in perspective the hope of diminishing the land-tax, of regularizing i;s repartition, of establish ing the direct taxes in a wav less uniform, but better adapted to the interests and habits of the different parts of the French territory; in fine, of establishing a good system of public credit. * II. We will not neglect any opportunity of embracing the interests of commerce (14,) the arts, civilization, of (developing all branches of industry and production, and of defusing all the lights which improve them.—We wish that the different classes of arts and trades should form free associations to secure their interests, and maintain, among their members, a useful discipline, without these establishments hang allowed to cramp the independence of industry. 12. We would define, in short, wliat we mean by epa rtition: it is the removal from public, office of men who, since the restoration, have placed themselves in hostility to the legitimacy of the throne, and the principles of morality. Here, however, we admit of restrictions: we claim, that offices of tlie first rank, such as those of min inters, governors, directors general, counsellors oj slate, should he occupied by those only who, since the resto ration, and particularly during the three months of usur pation,- have given proofs and positive guarantees of their attachment to that king; the offices of the second rank, such as those of prefects, commandants, first magistrates, chiefs of administration, receivers-general, should be con fided to those only who since the restoration, have not had to reproach themselves for any act against the royal authority; in fine, that those whose conduct is contrary to morals and probity should be removed from inferior offices. . 23. While expressing these principles and wishes, tiie majority of the chamber of deputies does not lose sight of the boundaries within which the share they can take towards their accomplishment is confined. It desires, therefore, that the ministers of the king, united (16) in the same principles, should propose to him, according to times and circumstances, tlie means of applying them. In this case, they will find in the majority a frank, en tire, disinterested concurrence; but at the same time a •firm and steady opposition to every application of con trary principles.

September 20. NEW FRENCH LEGISLATURE. We find that t’.e candidates sent by the colleges of the Seine districts (including of course Paris,) are for the most part, men who have been of the party of the revolu tion, Bonapartists.— Courier. In the Courier of September 21, we mentioned the re ceipt of a letter from India, announcing an irruption of Mahratta horse into the Guntoor Circar, one of our pro vinces dependent upon tlie Madras government. This information has been confirmed by other pro ate letters, which furnish further details. These M ihrattas, many thousands in number and called Pindarrees, first burst into the territories of the Nizam, our ally, which they ravaged; from thence they entered into the Guntoor Circar, on the Coromandel coast, between Calcutta and Madras. Tiiis irruption is said to have equalled in cruelty tlie dreadful irruption of llyder Ally into the Carnatic. The Guntoor Circar will not, it is said, be able to pav its quota of revenue for two or three yerrs—'This insult to our territories renders a war with the Mahrattas una voidable. Viksna, September 7. The last post from Constantinople, dated August 12, speaks of great excesses the Janissaries committed, being discontented \v ith the nomination of some of their superi or officers. The grand vizier, tiie second day, was oblig ed to dismiss the Aga to appease the tumult. At the de parture of the courier it was hoped, however, that this affair would have no' bad consequences. Lvmion, September 24. The mines of Peru having recently failed in their usual supply' of silver, in consequence of the miners being pre vented by the overflowing of the waters from the con stant prosecution of their work, the Spanish government has, with tlie sanction of this country, engaged an Eng lish engineer to take to South America several steam en gines, to draw off the superfluous waters. An arrange ment has also been entered into between the two govern ments, for dies to be sent over, in order that the silver may be converted into dollars, and in this state be sent to this country direct, agreeably to contract. Rear admiral sir David Milne, k. c. b. has arrived at this office with the original despatches of admiral lord viscou Exmouth, relative to his attack on Algiers, the duplicates of which have already appeared in the Ga zette Extraordinary of tlie 15th inst. He is aiso the bearer of despatches from his lordship detailing his further proceedings: On the 28th of August, treaties of peace were signed^ bv the dey with his majesty, and with his majesty the king of tiie Netherlands. On the same day also was signed an additional arti cle or declaration for tlie abolition of Christian slavery, to the following effect: Declaration of his most serene highness Omar, bashaw, dey and governor of the warlike city and kingdom of Algiers, made and concluded with the right honora ble Edward baron lord Exmouth, knight grand cross of the most honorable military order of the Bath, ad miral of the blue squadron of Ids Britannic majesty’s fleet, and commander in chief of his said majesty’s ships and vessels employed in the Mediterranean. In consideration of the deep interest manifested by his royal highness the prince, regent of England for the ter mination of Christian slavery,his highness the dey of Al giers, in token of his sincere desire to maintain inviola ble his friendly relations with Great Britain, and to man ifest his amiable disposition and high respect towards the powers of Europe declares, that in the event of fu ture war with any European power, not any of the pri soners shall be consigned to slavery, but treated with all humanity, as prisoners of war, until regularly exchang ed, accordiug to European practice in like cases, and that at the termination of hostilities they shall be restor ed to their respective countries without ransom; and the practice of condemning Christian prisoners of war to slavery is hereby formally and forever renounced. Done in duplicate, in the warlike city of Algiers, in tiie presence of Almighty God, the 28th day of Au gust, in the year of Jesus Christ, 1816, and in tlie year of flegira 1231, and the 6th day of the moon Shawal.

Two ships in the China trade, lately arrived at Gotten- b-irgh, have brought very interesting accounts relative to Eastern Asia and its commerce. Tlie disputes which reigned between the English factory at Macoa, and the viceroy of Canton, are weil known. These have been completely adjusted by the skilful conduct of sir George Staunton; and the Chinese are now more yielding than ever towards the English, because they stand in need of their services to protect the coasts' ug-.unst tiie pirates, whose principal nest is the Lxdrone Islands, and are be come so daring, that they once had it in contemplation to attack .Macoa itself. 'I3ie.se sea-robbers are in inti mate connection with the insurgents in tiie southern pro vinces of the Chinese empire; they supply all their wants from these provinces, and have there their lurking places and little ports; in fine, they keep up a communi cation between the southern and northern provinces, where also a spirit of insurrection has liere and there shown itself. The Chinese marine is too weak and help less to oppose them; they could alone be chastised by English ships of war; but they every year extend their system; they increase the number of their vessels of war, build better ones, and make such considerable progress in navigation, that they threaten in no long time to be come masters of those seas. The English who had once almost monopolized tiie trade to China, have for some time past found a formidable rival in the North Ameri cans—tlie latter, with their peculiar weil built sliips, make the voyage both out and home much quicker, and can thus afford to sell Chinese produce much cheaper in the European markets. Tlie Americans bring chiefly peltry from tlie nprthwest coast of America to Cuina, and exchange it for Chinese produce, so that they are not under the necessity of paying for every thing with spe cie, brought from Europe or South America.

Another new trading power, winch for some time has been In communication with China, must not here be over looked; it is Australasia. The king of Owyhee (where Cook lost his life) a very enterprising man, has brought all the Sandwich Islands under his dominion; the English have .ere introduced manners and language and a con siderable number of English and American sailors have entered his seiqjjgg with peculiar advantages, lie pur chased some ships from the Americans, and afterTheir model has built other at .Owyhee; he is now actually em ployed in forming a small navy. With his merchant ships he drives a profitable tade to China, by bringing peltry from Codisk to Juakio, and. receiving Chinese produce in return. By means of this intercourse, for which his insular empire is so favorably situated, as well as by tlie frequent visits of English and American stops, a wondeful change has taken place in the Sandwich Isles. The Dutch, until the last war, which sank their very name, were the only European nation who could carry on trade at Nangasaki, in Japan; they now again attempt to renew their old connexions. This, however, is atten ded with many difficulties, as the most recent accounts received from Japan at M&cca, speak of approaching dis turbances. The lay emperor OuB, had long circumscrib ed the power of the Spiritual Durv. The latter has en deavored by means of tlie numerous monks and priests, to gain the people over to him; and a general insurrec tion in tlie country was feared. A subversion, however, of the , dating establishments, would probably produce a very favorable effect on the nation at large.—London paper. FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN We have been favored with the following information, brought by captain Edis ill tiie Beverly , from tiie Pacific, via Canton, kc On the 9th December, 3815, his excellency Don Jose Moroodel Pont, president of Chili, and suite, arrived at Valparaiso, and commenced his government by ordering public gallows to be erected at St. Jugode Chili, and declaring, by proclamation, that all persons favoring a re volution should be executed. Every preparation was making to repel the invasion of a body of patriots from Buenos Ayres, r< ported to be 35(A) string, and comman ded by general St. Martin. They reached Mendoza on on the eastern side of the Cordilleras on the 12th January, 1816; but it was believed the season would not admit of then advancing farther. The president of Chili had 5000 regulars, a part of which were Talavcrians from Eu rope. Effective measures had been taken to prevent anv of the Chiiinese from joining the patriots in Mendoza.— In January an order was issued, proclaming, that if anv householder was not on his own premises within eight days from the date thereof, his property should be confis cated to the king, and his family imprisoned; and further, should any arms or munitions of war be found secreted in any out-house, and the owner refuse to deliver them when cai led for, he should suffer death. There were'in the castle, as prisoners the former pat riot president of Chili, a Mr.tLaslhe, formerly governor of Valparaiso, and three other distinguished patriots. Messrs. Lewis Bianquo, formerly' vice-consul for the United States at Valparaiso, M. Rasalas, and several other Chilinran patriots, had been banished to the island of Juan Fernandez—which island was talked of as tlie residence of many more, as soon as the government had an opportunity Lo send them there. The following persons, belonging to the United States were residing in Chili, February 1st, 1816, viz. Jesse Ock- ington, Paul Davis, Thomas Munroe and Charles Har per, of Boston; Daniel Hyde, Beverly; Jos. Smith, Ne w Haven; John Thomas, Nantucket; Daniel Coleman, L. Island; Simon Parrison, New York; John Davis, Potomac Creek; Lee Laws and Win. Saunders, colored men; Dan iel Coleman, Wm. Johnson and Thomas Johnson, for merly of the Essex frigate, John Ayre, marine late of tiie Essex, had been confined six months, but bad been re leased, and w'as on board the Indus, Page, of Salem.— Eighteen Englishmen and one Prussian were also left in Chiii. The Bevelry left Macoa (China) the 19th June, where lord Amherst, the British ambassador, was momently expected. It was said sir George Staunton would join the embassy, and that its object was to obtain permission to visit the manufactories in the interior of China; but which it was the opinion of the most respectable Hong merchants in Canton, would not be allowed. The Beverly arrived in Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope, the 5th, and left there the 18th September. On the 29th July, the British frigate Revolutionaire, of 38 guns, and a sloop of war, went on shore in a heavy gale, in Simon’s Bay, and received much damage; the former, when heav- otit, parted her careening t„ckels, came up, and killed all the people who were at work on her bottom. The British sloop of war Spey, w as stipposedto he bound to Triestan de Cuna, as the English were about set tling the island; and it was said, was intended for the fu ture residence of Nopok-on!

Brussels, 15th July. In the journal of the United States, called the Nation al Intelligencer, of the 13th of April, 1816, there appears a report of the American minister of war (Mr. Craw ford,) concerning the relations of that republic with the Indian tribes which inhabit their frontiers. Every man of sense applauds the humanity of those efforts of that government which are directed to civilize those tribes, and to bring them into the social state; but the fantasne which lias seized upon Mr. Crawford to mingle in a sub ject so interesting, such grossness, so disreputable, to the morals of his own country, and so insulting to civiiiza, tion and to virtue itself. If it be desirable to civilize those primitive people, surely it would not be less honorable to the govern ment of the United States to receive with open arms, those whose attachment to freedom or the misfortunes of their several countries had compelled or induced to carry to America the principles of civilization already prepared without any cost to the nation with which they desire to be incorporated; and who in our times ought surely' not to be considered as indifferently criminal or irtucius, who have done no more than seek to be as free as the Americans desired to be in commencing then- war for independence. This equal indifference to vice and virtue is even in our times a most extraordinary- sentiment. The author of it too, is that Mr. Crawford who was not very long ago the minister of the United States in France, and who could not speak four words of the lauguage of\he court to which he was the ambas sador; lie is said to be originally of Scottish descent, but it is not known whether it was the virtues or the vices of s ancestors, which carried them to America. Whate- er may have been the cause, sympathy of one kind or the other might have taught him to respect tlie hospitality- through whicli he came to be a legislator, and especially as the population of any one nation iii Europe, if landed there, would find ample room without disturbing any of the present occupants of the soil. Crevecoeur says that the population of the United States was originally com posed of tlie overflowings and petty culprits of Europe That ultimately it became the refuge of the unfortu nate and the persecuted of all nations; that among the emigrants of different periods were the Roundheads who cut off the head of Charles II. and the rebels who ad. hcred to the house of 8tuart, after their exile, down to the rebellions of 1745; this last class were generally char acterised as lories, or enemies to liberty; a singular spec tacle, for they are tlie descendants of those who have been for six centuries tlie helots of England. Among the settlers also, were great numbers of people from Ire land; the contrast between these people in Europe and tlieir descendants in America, is curious; for if their lan'- guage can be relied on, they were originally the same people, for their language differs no more than the French spoken in Orleans, from the French spoken at Paris; yet the Irish and their dcscendents in America, are what are called aehigs, that is, triends to liberty, and very much distinguished on that account. It is difficult to account For tlie ill humor which the American secretary has exhibited in so very unusual a manner. At first sight, one might suppose that it was intended as a manifestation of the hostility of the Ame rican government against the French who are flying to that country after the close of the revolutionary po The election of electors in Maryland, on Mondav last, was hn. titinly attended.
