Ilia glories were larger than w!»st‘ he ever met with j were nensrsnllicd by those excesses into before, nnd the upper port ot the nose broader. All his feutures, lie observed, were indicathe of the strongest passions; \et, like Socrates, bis judgment and great self-command, hate always made, him appear a man of a difierent cast in the eyes of the world. He always spoke with great diffidence, and sometimes hes itated for a word ; but it was always to find one," particularly adapted to his meaning. His language Was manly and expressive. At levee, his discourse with strangers turned principally upon the subject of America ; and if they had been through any remarkable place, his conversation was free and particularly interesting, for he tvas intimately ac quainted with every part of the country. He was much more open and tree in his behaviour at levee then in private, anil company with ladies still more so than wJien solely with men. Few persons ever found themselves for the first time in the presence of General Washington, without being im pressed with a certain degree of vener ation and awe ; nor did those emotions subside on a closer acquaintance—on the contrary, his person k deportment were such as rather tended to augment them. The hard services he had seen, the im portant and laborious offices he had fil led : gave a kind of austerity to his coun tenance, and a reserve to his manners ; yet he was the kindest husband, the most humane master, the steadiest friend. The whole range of history does not present to our view a character upon which we can dwell with such entire and unmixed admiration. The long life ol Gen. Wabjiingkon, is not stained with •a single blot. He was indeed a man of such rare endowments, and such fortu nate temperament, that every action ho performed was equally exempted from the charge of vice or weakness. What ever he said or did, or wrote, was stam ped with a striking amLpeculiar propri ety. His qualities were so happily blen ded, and so nicely harmonized, that the result was a great and perfect whole.— The powers ofhis mind, and the disposi tions of his heart, were admirably suited to each other. It was tire union of the most consummate prudence with the most f erfect moderation. His views, though irge and liberal, were never extrava gant ; his virtues, though comprehensive and beneficial, were diccriminatiog, ju dicious and practical. Yet his character, though regular and uniform, possessed none of the littleness which may sometimes belong to these descriptions of men. It formed a majes tic pile, the effect of which was not im paired, but improved by order and sym metry.—There wag nothing in it to daz zle by wildness, and surprise by eccen tricity. It was of a higher species of moral beauty, ft contained every thing great k elevated, but hud no false fc tinsel ornament. It was not the model cried by fashion and circumstance ; its excellence was adapted to the true and just moral taste, incapable of change from the va rying accidents of manners, of opinoin and times ; General Washington is not the idol of a day, but the hero of ages ! Placed in circumstances the most dif ficult at the commencement of the A- merican contest, he accepted that situa tion which was pre-eminent in danger and responsibility. His perseverance overcame every obstacle ; bis modera tion conciliated every opposition ; his genius supplied every resource ; his enlarged view could plan, revise, and improve every branch of civil and mili tary operation. He had the superior courage which can act or forbear to act, as true policy distates, careless of the re proaches of ignorance, either in power or out of power. He knew how to con quer by waiting, in spite of obliqny for the moment of victory ; and he merited true praise by despising undeserved cen sure. In the most arduous moments of the codes-, his prudent firmness proved the sal Tit. -jo of the cause which he sup- poneit Hi* c.inA: at was on all occasions, gui ded by roe sawt pure disinterestedness. Far JdjKT’jor to low and groveling mo tives, he seemed even to be uninfluen ced by that ambition, which has justly been called the instinct of great souls.— He acted ever as if his country's wel fare, and that alone, was the moving spring. His excellent miud needed not even the stimulus of ambition or the prospect of lame. Glory was but a se-' condary consideration. He performed great actions, he persevered in a course of laborious utility, with an equanimity that neither sought distinction nor was flattered by it. His reward was in the consciousness of his own rectitude, and in the success of his patriotic efforts. As the elevation to the chief power was the unbiassed choice of his country men, his exercise of it was agreeable to the purity ot its origin. As he had nei ther solicited nor usurped dominions, he had neither to contend with the opposi tion of rivals nor the revenge of ene mies. As his authority was indisputable, so it required no jealous precautions, no rigorous severity. His government was mild and gentle ; it was beneficent and Iiberdl ; -it was wise and just, llis pru dent administration consolidated and en larged the dominion of an infant republic. In voluntarily resigning the magistracy v hick iic hod, filled with such distinguish ed honor, he enjoyed the unequalled sa tisfaction of leaving to the State he bad contributed to establish, the fruits ofhis h isdoro and the example ofhis virtues. H is some consolation, amidst the vio lence of ambition the criminal thirst of power, of whici so many instances oc cur around via, to frad a character whom it i* honorable to admire and virtuous to imitate, A conqueror for the freedom which the highest qualities are apt to de generate. Wiib ihe greatest virtues he was exempt from the corresponding vi ce*. He was a man in whom th" ele ments wore so mixed, that “ Nature might have stood up tc all the world,” and owned him a? her work, llis fame, hounded by no country, will be confined to no age. The character of \V asiii.no- ton, which his contemporaries regret and admire, will he transmitted to pos terity, and the memory ofhis virtues, while patriotism and virtue are held sa cred among men, will remain undimin ished. IN T ER ESTI NO HISTORY. It is known as a matter of history that in the early paid of 1755, great exertions were made by the British ministry, at the head of which was the illustrious Earl of Chatham, for the reduction of the French power in the Provinces of the Canadas. To carry the object into effect, General Amherst, referred to in the letters of Junius, was appointed to the command of the British many in North Western America ; and the ldritish co lonies in America were called upon for assistance, and contributed witli alacri ty their several quotas of men, to ef feet the grand object of British enter prize. It is n fact still within the recol lection -of some of our oldest inhabi tants, that the British army lay encam ped in the summer of 1755, on the eas tern bank of the Hudson, a little sooth of the city of Albany, on the ground now belonging to John I. Van Rensselear esq.—'{'o this day vestiges of their en eamprncnt remain ; and after a lapse of sixty years, when a great proportion of the actors of those days have passed away like shadows from the earth, thp inquisitive traveller can observe the re mains of the ashes, the places where they boiled their camp kettles. It was (his army, that under the command of Abercrombie, was foiled with severe lo f s. in an attack on Ticon Icroga, where the distinguished Uowe fell at the head ofhis troops, in an hour that history has con secrated to his fame. In the early part of June, the eastern troops began to pour in, company after company, and such a motley assemblage of men never bef-re thronged together on such an occasion, unless au example may be found in the ragged regiment of Sir John Falst iff, of right merry and facetious memory. It would, says my worthy ancestor, who relates to me the story, have relaxed the gravity of an anchorite, to have seen the descendants of the Puritans, march ing through the streets of cur ancient city, to take their station on the left of the British army, some with long coats, some with short coats, and others with no coats at all, in colours as varied as the rainbow, some with their hair crop ped like the army of Cromwell, and o- thers with wigs whose curls flowed with grace around the shoulders. Their march, their accoutrements, A: the whole arrangement of the troops, furnished matter of amusement to the wits of the British army. The music played the airs of two centuries ago, and the tout ensemble upon the whole exhibited a sight to the wondering strangers that they had bepn unaccustomed to in their na tive land. Among the club of wits that belonged to the British army, there was a Phy sician attached to the staff, by the name of Doctor Shackhurg, who combin ed with the science of the Surgeon, the skill and'tnlcnts of a musician. To please brother Jonathan, he composed a tune, and with much gravity recommended it to the officers, as one of the celebrated airs of martial music. The joke took, to the no small amusement of the British Corps. Brother Jonathan exclaimed it was nation fine, and in a few days nothing was heard in the provincial camp but the air of Yankee Doodle. Little did the au thor or his coadjiitors then suppose that an air made for the purpose of levity and ridicule, should ever be marked for such high destines ; in twenty years from that time our national march inspired the hearts of the heroes of Bunker Hill and in less than thirty, Lord Cornwallis and his army marched into the American lines to the tune of Yankee Doodle. [.’llbany Statesman.'] VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. New-York, Oct. 4. The Packet ship Albion, capt. Wil liams, arrived last evening from Liver pool, bringing accounts to the 1st Sept. Capt. William* has favored the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of the London Courier to the 30tli of Au gust, inclusive. The letter bag was not brought ashore last evening, in conse quence of a heavy storm that prevailed. The trial of the Queen, tvhich had progressed to the 12th. day, still engros sed the whole public attention. The cross-examination of AJnjocchi closed on the Gth day, and the Times says— “ We believe, we may congratulate the nation on the exposure of the con spiraey against the Queen, by the mere cross-examination of the first witness pro duced against her Majesty. Every tiling that Majocchi had previously sworn witli respect to the solitude of her Majesty’s bedroom, now appears to be utterly false. This wretched witness was housed and fed by the British Ambassador, Lord Stewart, a man of an extraction as low as that of Bergami—of fortunes almost as rapid 1” On the 9th day. the London Evening Mail of Aug. 2Cth savs—“ Up to this time the only two credible witnesses ex amined, wore the captains of the Clor- inde and Loviathan, and their evidence acquitted the Queen of improper fami liarity with Bergami.” “ Lint how for tunate it was that the House of Lords al lowed of the daily publication of their proceedings 1 In tins circumstance or- ginatefi the happy discovery of Majoc chi** tilourestcr connexion, which at once damned hie evidence. Acknowledge ment of it^e immense bribes received by Gargiulo and 1’aturzo, the captain and mate of the vessel in which her majesty sailed, wns drawn from their own mouths. 8pveti hundred and fifty dollars a month were nil that the capt. received for the freight of his vessel from the Queen ol England ; which, ns he justly nrcued. nf ter the wear and tear of his ship, aftei he had paid and fed his crew, left little enough for himself : but, by this new speculation, in w hich he is engaged, he at once gain*, even by his own confes sion, (and the public may rely on it they dont know all yet.) One Thousand Dol lars a month ! net ! clear of expenses ! without the wear ami tear ofhis ship— without pay and feed ofhis crew ! Ibis fellow, therefore, is enriched for life j and the same may be said ofhis mate.— Never was swearing paid for at such a rate in either Italy or England before. And here we would stop for a moment, and advise the votaries of villainy to con sider at how much more costly a rate they are obliged to pursue their crimin al enterprises than those who are addict ed to the enjoyment of innocent and le gal objects.” From tiie Oth to the 11th day, the House were engaged in discussing a ques tion whether the Counsel should he per milted to cross-examine the witnesses in the manner they desired, which was li nally determined upon by a majority ol live. Lord Erskine then moved that the House adjourn, to afford 'itne for the Queen to prepare for her defence ; and that a list of the remaining witnesses gainst her, witli a specification of the time, and places to which their testimony would apply, should he furnished l\pr.— On this moti an (hero were Contents GI ; Non-contents 150. London, Aug. 28. Crowds of respectable person* con tinne to assemble daily in St. James square, to await the approach of her Ma jesty, A; greet her with the most cuthusi astic acclamations. As her Majesty left the House on Saturday, several ladies were assembled, w ho pressed to touch her clothes, and were .perceived to shed tears of sympathy and affection. All the way to the House of Lords the same lively scene was presented, and the same demonstrations ofadiniraton evinc ed. The soldiers are most respectful, and seem to join in the sentiments of the multitude.—E. Mail. August 30. Her Majesty arrived in town at 9 o- clock this morning, preceded, as usual, by alderman Wocdt The people assem bled to see her pass were few in num ber, and those few manifested but little enthusiasm. As she passed Carlton Pal ace she turned her eyes in an opposite direction with an assumed air of disgust. This seemed to please her follower*, who noticed it with cries of “ bravo,” and loudly clapping of hands. In the windows of Pali Mall andCockspur-street we did not notice a single respectable person.—Courier. J.osrcrs, Aug. 30. The concourse of people who assem ble in the neighborhood of the House of Lords, continue to insult the Duke of Wellington. Yesterday, as the Duke was riding with the Marquis of Anglesey, they were again pursued with the los ings and bootings of the mob. The Duke took it coolly, hut the Marquis made a full stop and demanded of the persecutors, “ why do you lii*« me ?” Loud shouts of “ The Queen ! the Queen f” wns the only reply. Hi* lord- ip said “ if yon want me to do any thing contrary to my conscience. I must IpJI you, l would rather you ran me through the body.” This called forth a shout, but the next moment the cry of “ The Queen,” was renewed, mid the Marqnis put spurs to his horse and left them. The Horse Guards are in future to be on duty to prevent a repetition o f similar outrages. Pams. Aug. 21. The funds, which had fallen tn77. 25, have subsequently recovered to 77. 90, The Court of Peers is ordered to as semble immediately, to proceed without delay to the trial of the individuals arres ted at Parris. The Conrt Royalc of Paris, all the Chambers being assembled, held yester day a secret sitting, which is supposed to relate to the conspiracy. The manner in which government first received any intimation of the con spiraey, was, by a fortunate but most singular chance. A female who was ac customed to read the newspapers at the Thuilleries, in returning the journal she had borrowed, left in it, unawares, a letter that hud just reached her. This letter was to the effect of advising her instantly to quit Paris, in order to avoid the consequences of n revolution that was about to break out. This letter fell thus into strange hands, was read, and the female to whom the letter had boon addressed, was taken up. She pointed out Ihe writer of it, who, being al*o ta ken, put the authorities in possession of the plot. We are uninformed, at pres ent, how far the burning of Vincennes was connected with this plot. It is as serted that the circumstance was occa sioned by the negligence or imprudence, of a workman who was employed Ifiere in repairing the fire aims to he used at the festival of St. Louis. 8uwr.il parts of the building received some damage from a partial explosion ; succour was prompt saltpetre, were withdrawn in time.— Since this event the castle has been closed, and the troops who I'oiin the gnrrisi-n are placed under a countersign. Gen. Dejeim repaired to the castle on Saturday evening, and passed the nignt there. The castle has been slightly damaged, hut nobody has peiisho.d.— The commune is quite tranquil ; k, not withstanding the immense crowd which the festival lud attracted, not the least disorder has taken place. 1 he plan of the conspirators was to seize the Lou vre, and to penetrate, by the Grand Gal lery of the Museum, to the King's apart ments, whilst, by way of a diversion, the soldiers who were to have been gained, were to have had a skirmish on the Place du Carousel with the Guards ot the Palace. M-'dame Eliza Bacciocbi, sister of Bonaparte, and Ex-Duchess of Lucca and Piomdino, has, it i* said, died at Trieste, of a nervous fever. Letters from Ancona state, that pre parations were making in the Marche for the reception of the Austrian troops ex pected from Lombardy. Paris, Aug. 22. The I ite conspiracy has not at all in terrupted the public order. The num ber-of the military arrested dors not ex ceed 25. and none of them above the rank of Captain. We add, with regret, that some of them belonged to the second regiment of the guards, distinguished by its sentiments of honor and fidelity. The preliminary investigation oftheir conduct has commenced. It appears, they did nOt dare to confide their project to the sohln rs. Some of the conspirators have absconded. All the Foreign Ambassadors waited on the King on Sunday. All the barriers of Paris were shut from eleven o'clock on Saturday night till seven on Sunday morning. Since then the passage has been perfectly free. I he Gendertnerie was reinforced at all the posts, and stationed at new ones. An agent of the Queen of England i« at present in treaty for purchasing, in the name of her Majesty, a very large pro perty, situated in the Forest of Scliart, a short distance from Paris. A pestilential fever prevails at present at Milan, which carries off a number of persons, particularly strangers.

We are lolil that this odious pi # - dinghy a hill is necessary, because jt is a case standing on its own peculiar cirvltm* stances. This, of itself, is a departure from the good old rules of law. However, for argument sake, let it be taken upon the shewing of the supporters of the hill. It is a peculiar case. ** Very well,” says her counsel—“give us a list of the witnesses." “No,” say the supporters—“we must be governed by the rules of law, and in no ease of law are you entitled to this privilege, ex empt in cases of treason, and this is not a case of treason.” In short, it is pretty clear to every person of ordinary understanding, that, fur purposes of the bill, the ease is legislative or it is judicial; but, for the defence of the Queen, it is neither Ihe one nor the other. From the language yesterday of the sup porters of the bill, many anxious friends of the Queen were apprehensive that tile deri sion of the House would prove unfavorable to her Majesty’s interests; but, from ihe course which the,discussion is taking to-day, there is reason to hope that the arguments and eloquence nf Air. Brougham and Mr. Denman will ultimately triumph. the re st of the five courts, r. filch, as 1 understood (hem, consisted of stipula tions on the | l i i ! those court* to inter ft ru in the i.. •• of any revolution try movement bn . .tu^ out in Frnnce.

There is ranch talk here ofn confiden tial circular ofa powerful monarch in the North, addressed to all the Sovereigns who signed the Holy Alliance, to induce them to prepare their contingents of troops, for the purpose of opposing tt revolutionary measures of demagogues in the south of Europe. The Austrian troops, now on the route for Italy, consist of 32 battalions of infan try, 10 battalions of chasseurs, and 22 squadrons ofljght cavalry. They wi arrive between the 1 Gth and 2dth iust. at Treviso, where they will receive tl orders for their ulterior destination.— There ara now strong Austrian garrisons at Bologna and at Commachie. London, Aug. 30. On (he breaking up of the house of lords yesterday, thp members were greeted with their usual s dotations by the crowd. The duke of York was loudly cheered, and conducted himself in the most-condescending manner, smiling and booing on every side. The Marquis of Anglesen, and some others, cashier ed unfriendly to the Queen, mot a very different reception ; tliev were assail ed with hissing and booting during the whole oftheir way. Assault on the Duke of Wellington. The treatment received yesterday hv the Duke of,Wellington, was more seri ous than it lias been respresented, Long after the Queen had left the house of lords a party of about 200 of the popu lace remained at the end of Gia atGeorge- streot, as if lying in wait for his grace.— fin his approach they pressed close on him, aid assailed him with a most tro- ji,i-ndMM^a|L^[)nc fellow caught at Ii* I'i'idnRHMWPhcr attempted to seize and abundant ; at 4 o’clock the fire was From thf. Statesman, Aug. 2!). Though the House of Lords was yesterday not engaged in the examination of witnesses, their proceedings related to subjects of the highest importance. A question .had h■•en raised on Saturday, as to the right of tin- Queen’s counsel to renew their cross-exam ination of the witnesses in support of th. bill, after the interval which will he allowed them for inquiring into the condition and character of the witnesses, and for procuring evidence in defence ; and on this point » long and interesting discussion ensued. On the part of the supporters of lh< bill, it was contended that the counsel for the Queer, should be obliged to proceed in the cross- examination, wiihout delay, according to the practice in the ordinary courts of law; and, after the lapse of time to ho allowed them for the defence, they might then siate in the House any knowledge they may havcolitam- ed, as n ground for again calling any witness es to the Inr, and pulling to then) such epu - lions as the House should have sanctioned. Of this opinion were. the. End of Lauder dale, Lord Manners, Chancellor of Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Elb-nboroneh. Lord Grenville, and the Lord Chancellor ; w bile, on the other hand, Lord Erskine, the Marquisof Lansdowne, and Lord Grey ar gued warmly for allowing the cross-examin ation to go on, without any limitation what soever, in order to counterbalance th<» refu sal of the, list of witnesses and specification of the charges, and that a cross-examination was expedient, previous to the interval to he granted for preparing the defence, in order to prevent the evidence brought forward n- gninst the Queen from goingout to the pub- lie, and remaining for weeks and months un sifted, unquestioned, and unanswered. On the motion of Lord Liverpool, however, it wns proposed that the cross-examination should he gone ioto immediately after the examination in ■chief, hut u ith a claim for counsel to apply for permission to h«yo anv witness recalled for cross-examination) if -n y new facts or circumstances rcspcctii-,* SU J, witness should come to t’leir knowledge; but his lordship, at tho same, li-.ne, admitted that it would not improper forth,.

On this proposition having been agreed to, tho counsel were called in. Mr. Brough am and Mr. Denman addressed their lord- ships in speeches that will he reml with pecu liar interest, and that were calculated to pro duce the host efleet.

The Patrole seeing his Grace’s danger rushed forward, and drew tlw-ir cutlasses. A severe scuffle ensued, One nf them aimed a blow at the man who attempted to unhorse the duke, hut it was turned aside, and struck a wo man on (he arm, who received a deep wound. In the mean time the dirk a mended his pace, and got off into the Park. His grace and Ihe patrole were pelted with mud and oyster shells all the way down Ureat-George street. HOLY ALLIANCE. the opening of the Bri- tisi^NHHSn Lords, on the 21st of Aug. lord Holland rose and said he had to ask some <]^ls'fn</R#Srthc noble earl opposite, and for that purpose felt it incumbent on him to detain their lordships for a few minutes, from the consideration of the business to which they were about to proceed. He was aware that nothing could at present «o much command their lordships’ attention as tlie proceedings going on at the bur of the house, and he might lay claim to some little fortitude when he ventured to call upon their lordships lo,li.-tcn to any tiling else. But if there was difficulty in addressing an uudience on one tonic, when occti pied with another, the less that was said about it the better. For that reason he shewed,'wNGtfioty^'frtlter apology, proceed to the subject, which was one as import ant a< the question of the innocence of the conduct oi’auy individual, however high could be. It was a subject which embraced the inlt rest* of Europe, the peace of tin* country, and the independ ence of nations. Their lordships must i*e aware, for it was matter of public no toriety, that in tho month of March last, the people of Spain, assisted by their brethren in arms, restored the ancient constitution of their country. The re establishment of that constitution was followed by a change in the councils of Spain. The new government of Spain made an cilbial omniunieation of the change which had taken (dace to the go vernments of other nations, and amongst the rest to that of Russia. The govern ment of that country had long pretended to stand forward as the protector of lib eral institutions, and it might, therefore, have been expected to have received with particular marks of approbation, the official intimation of the establishment of u free government in Spain, on the basis of the new corw'.jtutino—no, not a new constitution, be ought not to call it so ; it was not. a new constitution es tablished but tjieold constitution of Spain, re-established. In reply, draw n fivui the words of the note, which fid, that revelation had changed its ground, but the duties of ulonnrchl couldf not have changed their nature, &c„ Now he had to ask what were the engagement* referred to in tliis Jiote '! Were they such us he had supposed ? Was Great Britain a party to thent ? And did the circular note of the Russian government, which purported to state the sentiments of the other allied courts, also speak the sense of the government of this country £ There was afterwards in the same paper, an intention expressed to call on the alli ed courts to interfere with the govern ment of Spain. He would not detain their lordships by reading the passage,, hut wished them to refer to the docu ment, in order to sec the language which was held in it with respect to Spain. It appeared to he the opinion of th# government of Russia, ihat the govern- nt of Spain should be called upon to disavow what had been done, and even to punish the actors in it ; or that, if this were not done, the five courts should de clare, that they could not any longef maintain relations with Spain. Hewigji- od now to ask whether government had received any such paper from Russia, & whether it was to he made the subject of any communication to the house ? He- wished also to know, if the paper was re ceived. what answer was given by this government to Russia ? And if the pro posal of Russia was rejected, then wheth er ministers had communicated that re jection to Spain, with assurance that the relations nf amity between the two coun tries would he preserved, together with congratulations "for the greater stability which those relations were likely to ob tain, in consequence of the change which had taken place in the government of Spain. Hi* lordship recapitulated his questions, and then satslown. The earl of Liverpool said, that after the short explanation which he had given on this subject the other day, he should have imagined that the noble lord would have thought it unnecessary to put any further questions to him. As, however* he h. d called the attention of the house to this matter, he thought it necessary to- state that no such engagement as that re ferred to was know n to him, if such engagements did exist, this country was no party to them. With respect to Spain, th<V'#hud been communications made to the government of that country, which proved the anxiety of his majesty’s go vernment to maintain the relations of amity jwith it, and their earnest wish that the proceedings now going on under the Cortes might lead to the establishment of a just and rational system of government. As to any communications whicll might have been made to this government hv other powers, their lordships would doubtless agree with him in thinking that this was not the proper time for explain ing them. No good could he; obtained by such disclosures, and much evil might he avoided by withholding them. which was' how rve.,-. |o the communication made by S P 5 ,<n to Russia, a note was delivered to confidence iyen asrfl. -Our readers will nh- mastered ; no person was hurt ; .luckily I serve the liunina -k. argumentative speech- three barrels of gnr.p-gwder, aqil one of' es of Lords Erskine, Lansdowne, and Grey, .no Spanish minister residing at Peters burg!), containing, among a great deal of more jargon, expressions of sorrow and indignation at what had taken place in Spain. Ho knew not how to speak on this subject. He wished to confine him self merely to Ihe facts, hut that was dif ficult, when sentiments of a nature calcu lated to make one's blood boil, from their hostility to freedom, were thus puhliclv expressed. It appeared from the noto addressed to the Spanish minister, to be the intention ol the Russian government to consult with the other courts of Eu rope on the affairs of Spain ; but after its delivery another note or circular had been issued. T his second note was in the form of a memorial addressed to all the courts of Europe, and particularly to the five great allied courts as tliev were called, (a this paper, reference is made to certain engagements renewed on the 15th of Nov. 1919.
