S6th of July, and on the 8th of August
tpade an attack on the east end of Tercel
rat after'bombarding for about S hours,
Jhey effected a landing of 1600 men, in
two divisions of 800 each, in twenty-six
- largo boats. The first and second divisions
irete allowed to land quietly; bpt on their
attempting it the third time, tlie Inhabt-
jants of tlie island suddenly rustled upon
(hem out ofthe fmt, and cut the whole to
pieces, except one man, who escaped- by
swimming.' Those in the boats seeing tlie
fat/; of their comrads on shore, refused to
land, ami forccJ tlie officers to return to the
cliipc—which they gladly acquirtccd in.—
The batteries on the shore commenced
flrc on the boats, and killed upwards of COO
tnen of their crews, and nearly an equal
Dumber on board the fleet shared life same
fate. The 7) a lone lost upwards of 100

Texas—Canadas.—\ very curious aril
etc appeared recently in, tho Boston Patri
of touching the acquisition of Texas, jind
shewing the dnsirableues*of rounding out
tlte Republic by tho purchase ofthe Cana
da*. From the style, ntannor,' and opin
ions advanced in that article,* sve strongly
suspect that tt originated in some oilier per
snn than the editor of the Patriot. In re
lation to the subject generally of our for
eign negneiations, it is very evident that
the opposition prints led onbv tiic Natinn-
nl'Iniellipencer, are starting every species
of our rumour which may be calculated to
excite the jealousy of foreign governments
nnd thereby throw obstacles in the way of
acconiplishingdesirabletreaties. Tlie ac
quisition of the Texas or thn Canadas inay
possibly becomn propel subjects of investi
gation, whenever tlie respective govern
ment of these countries shew a disposition
to approach the question. "TJntil that mo
ment shall arrive, we see little use in spec
ulating so far in advance ofthe measures
now before the government, and which in
volve interests that may be injuriously af
fected by such a course—Tlie disposition,
shown hy severnl prints to turn tile Texas
affair into a “Alissouri question,’’ is the old
feeling which formed the strongest ofthe
opposition to Jefferson’s administration.
The opposition now may be met in the
same way that tlie - opposition then was
met; and as easily put down.—N.- Y.

We learn from our Paris newspapers that
Prince Talleyrand had. lately, private au
diences of the Kinggf France. He affords
a memorable instance of Ihe success nf sa
gacity knd experience In counteracting
personal and political antipathies. He is.a
statesman whose counsel and co operation

force of his inteilecluai renown nnd the

which exceeds in violence any thing of the

as n!liu:hcd to tlie Congregation of Jesuits'

enemy to the Charter, and utterly incom

having deserted tho standard of Napoleon,
and Joined the British army the evening

the Minister f Finance, has had the mis
fortune to belong to the deplorable Alinistry
ofVillole. Afonthel. the Minister of In

AI Courvoiscr. the Minister of Justice,has
lately connected himself with the Jesuits
and inveighed against (lie ordinances for

it is said, and perhaps with trutli, that the
