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 ther at the date of the ratification of the treaty, and which hitter place was l.y the terms of the treaty to bo surrendered to the United -States ?

Mr. Monroe, then Secretary of Slate, in his letter to Air.

Washington's Ancestors.—In the com cateil and marvellous machinery of circum stances, it is absolutely impossible to decide what would hare happened, as to some e- vents, if the slightest disturbance had taken place, in the march of those that prtccdtd them. We may observe a little dirty wheel of brass, spinning round upon its greasy ax le, and the result is, that in another apart ment, many yards distant front it, a beauti ful piece of silk issues, from a loom, rivalling in its hues the tints of the rainbow—here are myriads of events in our lives, the distance between which, w as much greater than that between this wheel, and tlte ribbon, but where tho connexion had been much mor ntOM TIIE RICHMOND ENQL'IRFn We are indebted to the pen of a gentle man, (who has from the start taken a deep interest in the indemnity for slaves)—for the article on the decision of the Emperor uf Russia.—Some of the Eastern papers argue that this decision is not as favorable to us as was believed. Tilt: true construe tion of it is pel haps to be found in the arti de we now publish. 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 Cheshire, about the year 17S0, had not been | the artillery, or oilier public property 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.

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.
