To shew .with what fidelity the allies
have adhered to the principles of their
► manifesto delivered at Vienne, it will
not be necessary to enter minutely into
the events oflhe last of June, 1815. If :
will be sufficient, with regard to thdse
events to observe that Napoleon, after
the short reign of 3 months from his
return, was again by the dispensation of

veyed to a remote island in the Atlantic.

occasion to spe The* allied armies!
after the victory ols La Bell Alliance’
into the heart of France—
Russian, Prussian, English, Austrian
and Spanish armies spread themselves
over the whole country. The Prussians
and English entered Paris, and divided
it iijto arrondisbc*meats—committed ex
cesses which have not faded that lustre
acquired by the British arms at Stv Se
# basqiuns in Sp*in, raised contributions
’ on the citizens, which, had hu
miliating demands of Prussia been mo
(Jeratyd by the intercession of Louis,
r would have amounted to 100,030,000 of
francs, ancl quartered their s'oldterjr in
tiie houses; of the .inhabitants. The
same crime, for which the allied powers
so severely reproached Napoleon while
his troops were quartered at Lisbon
under Jqnot, they have in Paris corn
milled with equal excess. Paris no
longer presented the of an
elegant city—the seat of the arts, sci
ences and content ; its peace was disjtur

on under martial induence ; «s sovereign
was a mere cypher ; it was converted
into a military encampment ; its public
fcddiqes, the of Napoleon',
were nearly sacrificed to the exaspera

The Russian and Austrian troops by
our last European intelligence, had
marched in small detachments over the
whole French territory, entered the.lar

and villagesV and exacted from the un
offending inhabitants the post enormous
contributioife of money, provisions, and
beasts of burthen. They beein to have

base..-newspaper- writers v are so
much accupied with enforcing the ne
cessity of cutting the throats 0f,.a1l the
Jacobins in France that they cannot
sp«*>re a moment.“ to think, far less to
write, on the signal triumpfxof Ameri
ra, which liar invincible fleet has just
■.obtained over the European pirates.—
■This great .achievement of the real sons

Mbit arch's,.” docsjdflh. I dare <gb ,
well down .with utSPccrruptionists ; bat
jthaU is a principal reason Why I should
’ not lose sight of it. While all the re
gular. governments of Europe were ac
knowledging their inferiority by sending
annual presents to the Dey, of Algiers
the .Americans fitted out a squadron to
annihilate this Roylil pirate. The Al
gerine fleet was discovered on the coast
of Spam. It was attacked by the Yankee
fleet without any hesitation. , The A-
Tnericans took the Admiral’s ship, a fri
rgate of the largest size ; drove another’
on shore and destroyed her ; the rest
escaped only in consequence of a calm
which enabled them to use their oars.
This is certainly a proper method of
treating these royal nuisances. : But we
do not see that this civilized part of the
world are disposed to consider them in
that light. They have shown no incli
nation to assist the Americans in dri
ving them out. Perhaps they are . top
much occupied at present with deliver
iiig; France, to think of delivering Europe.
However, I am quite satisfied that the
Americans are able to*do the business
without them. . I should not be surpri
sed* indeed, if things should take a dif-\
ferent turn. I would not wonder, after
what I hare seen : after the assistance
iwe have giveh to restore the wnore of
tho Inquisition, and the lazy
voluptuous nuns and friars to their for
mer power and ease ; if a* treaty juffen
sive and defensive had been concluded
between the Autocrat ofAlgiers the Au
tocrats of;Russia* Prussia, >Stc &c* and
that the Americans were*to find them
selves Involved in a war against these
powers, who may probably afford a pow 7
erfuf contingent to their Royal Ally .—
But even this will of little conse
quence. After the Angerlcan seamerv
such a lesson as they did to the
boasted “ sovereigns of the sea,*Vthere
can* be no apprehension as to the result
of any war which may occur with the
w hole maril*me force of the world.—

to its champions, that renders its cause
invincible wiitn opposed to tyranny / &
the extirpation of the royal nest of Affii«
can piiates, is an act vyqurh’ Will* be re
corded in the page of history to the eter
nal honor of the American people, while
the long endurance ol this haughty and
barbarous race, will forever reflect dis

Paris, August 19.
At the moment that the King was K
cending his carriage at 4 o’clock this
day, Madame Laybedoyere threw her
self at his feet to solicit pardon for her
husband. The king answered, that if
M. Labedoyere had only offended him,
his pardon should be granted ; but that
all France called for the punishment of
the man who had brought upon it all
the .horrors of war. His majesty was
very much affected, and it was to be
seen how much he suffered from being
obliged to resist trfb impulse of his heart. ’
The king, who knows how to unite good- ;
ness and justice,, deigned to pfomise
Madame Labedoyere his protection for
her and her infant.
v- At six o’clock, the moment when the
king was returning from pis ride, the
mother of Labedoyere /was in the court
of the chateau, for the purpose of try*
ing her intercession with his Majesty.
Seeing that measures were taken for
preventing her approaching him, and
renewing a scene as painful as .useless,
she retired. She was in deep mourn
ing*
It is generally thought that the allied I
troops will commence evacuating France
the beginning of the next month*—it is
even confidently said, that they will
depart by columns of 25,000 men.
Another opinion which is riot less com
mon, isr.that the Treaty of Peace is
concluded—arid that by it, the integrity
of the Fierieh territory is secured.

proper to remark, that all the German

preparations in the interior of the two

Danish troops intended to have made a

In ancient history, every “anecdote is
recorded which displays the patriotism

perhaps, as strong an»instance of hero

centuries have ever produced, and ought
to be transmitted to posterity.
