GinuALTF.a, May 27.
Several advantages are stated to have been
obtained by the National troops over Mal
contents in Catalonia, and among others
mention is made of the complete defeat of
a body of GOOat Capellades. A special Com
mittee appointed hy the Cortes to propose
w hat they might conceive to lm the most
effectual means to restore tranquility, in that
province, submitted a law project, in the
sitting of the 1 nth inst. which w as to he
taken into consideration on the following
Tuesday, chiefly recommending that until
the installation of the Cortes, of If.gS, all
Malcontents in arms he shot on the sped,
who shall lie taken in any part of the King
dom, after the lapse of 1ft hours from the
publication of the law ; that any 7 town or
village that takes an active part in the sedi
tion nr promotes the execution of the
plans of the Malcontents, he declared
in a state, of siege ; that government lie em
powered to send out of the kingdom aoy for
eigner whose conduct it may deem suspici
ous ; that the convents of Poblet and Es-
cornan Bon, lie reputed focus of rebellion,
be it immediately suppressed, as also any
others in places unfrequented, where assist
ance is given to the rebels; and lastly, that
the Magistrates do report, to the Civil Go
vernors, all Members of Religious Commu
nities who shall absent themselves from
their convents for more than -10 hours.
Two days after, the Assembly negatived
a motion for calling to account the Civil Go
vernor of the Province of Madrid Dn. Jose
Martinez de San Martin, on the ground that
exchange of the ratifications of tlte tr«aty,
and that as none of the slaves then at T*n-
gier were raptured there, he could not gix.-
them up, much less could he give up those
that had entered the British service.
Admiral Cockburn, at Cumberland Is
land, in reply to n similar application said,
that Cumberland Island being the only
place or possession taken from America in
that neighbourhood, which was retained by
him at the date of the ratification, he should
as quickly as possible evacuate it, and leave
on it, or deliver to the commissioners, what
ever public or private properly, or slaves,
originally captured there, remained upon
the island at the date of the ratification. A
li < of seventy seven slaves was made out,
which were restored, and facilities were of
feree! to all the claimants of slaves to obtain
their voluntary return. At ibis time, accor
ding to the statement of Mr Spalding the
...adding did not hesitate to restore slaves for Iturbidei*
ami private property there captured,
and which at tlte date of the ratification
of the treaty had not been removed from
those places ; and this construction ol
the clause in question of the 1st article
was recognized as correct anil adopted
by the English government ; so that the
sole question submitted lo the Russian
Emperor was this :—Does this clause ol
the 1st article require the restitution ol
-laves and private properly captured or
taken in one place and remaining in ano

treaty, and which hitter place was l.y

The emperor has decided against our

We are indebted to the pen of a gentle

CAPTURED SLAVES.
By the 1st article of the treaty of
Ghent, among other things it w as stipu
fitted that “ all territory, places and pos
sessions, whatsoever, taken by either
party from the other during the war, or
which might betaken after the signing
of the treaty, excepting only the island
thereinafter mentioned, should be res
tnred without delay, and without causing
close. If a private country gentleman in j any destruction, or carrying nway tiny of

sion of this very question his attention
must have been directed hy the two go
vernments, who it is presumed submitted
not only the clause but all tlte corres
pondence which had passed mt the sub
ject; for both agreed in every other
particular as to the construction ot the
article. The concluding paragraph nf
the emperor’s decision rejects any claim.-
(if any was ever urged) on the part ol
the United States for indemnification for
jves carried away from places) for the
restoration of which the treaty contained
no stipulation.
If this is the true construction, and
the only reasonable one of which the
decision of the emperor is susceptible,
then it is n subject in which (he citizens
of tlte southern states have a deep inter
est. At the tune ot the ratification of
the treaty there remained on hoard Bri
tish ships in our waters, at Tangier Is
land and other places lo he surrendered,
between 350 and 100 slaves taken from
the citizens of Virginia, the greater num
ber of whom had been captured by, or
absconded to the enemy in the fall and
winter of 1314 and 1315. Many slaves
taken front Virginia were on Cumber
land Island, ami some at Mobile ; and
the total number for whom our citizens
may reasonably expect indemnification
will be little ii at nil short of 500.
By an act of assembly, passed at tlte
winter session of 1813 and 181-1, our
county and corporation courts were au
thorized to receive evidence of tlie cap
ture hy tlte enemy of slaves, and forward
such evidence to the executive to be
filed among llie public archives ot (he
state. Under this law proof that about
2000 slaves were captured by, or had
absconded to tlte enemy, has been filed,
and their valuation amounts to about
$600,000. But of this number before
the coming of peace, three fourths had
either perished or had been transported
to Halifax or Bermuda, nr some of thr
West India I . nils, anil therefore for
such no indeinnificatisn lias ever been
claimed or expected under the treaty.

(he United Stales and Great Britain n-
rose as to its true interpretation ; the
former bolding that all slaves and other
private properly wheresoever taken from
a citizen of the United States and re
maining at the date of the exchange of
the ratification of the treaty between tlte
two, countries in any territory, place or
possession to be restored, or on hoard
any public armed ship of Great Britain
within the waters of the U. S. were
embraced by this stipulation and ought
to be surrendered with such place, ter
ritory or possession, or by the officer
commanding such armed ship. The
British government held that only suclr
slaves and other private property as
were originally captured in the places
territories or possessions to lie restored
and there remained at the date of the ra
tilication of the treaty of Ghent, were
be surrendered ; and in accordance
this interpretation in several
stances where slaves remained at the
place of capture and which place was to
be restored to the United States, they
were returned to their owners, and a-
to such cases no difference ever existed
between tlte two countries.
