NEW-YORK, October 24. Our attentive correspondent at Phila delphia, has put us in possession of advices from Paris to the 6th of Sep tember, received at that port by the arrival of the ship Ocean, in 35 days from Bordeaux. The intelligence we have received is extremely inter esting. The Emperor of Russia, it seems, has refused to ratify the Trea ty, which his minister D’Oubril, had formed with the French government; & Bonaparte,in consecjtience, has or dered a new levy of eight thousand men in the southern departments of France. The British Ambassador, Lord Lauderdale, was at Paris on the 6th of September. Whether the negociations were going on at that time, we cannnot sny ; but by verbal intelligence from Bordeaux, as late as the 11th of September, we learn that Lord Lauderdale would certainly re turn to England without a Treaty. It is said that the differences have been settled between Prussia and Sweden. The following art extracts from the latest French papers : Paris, September 6. 1 lie treaty of Peace between France and Russia, has not been ratified by the Emperor Alexander. It would be diffi tult to find an excuse or a plausible rea son in the laws of public or private mor tality, for this strange refusal. We see no pretext, nor even any subterfuge, for difaith. It cannot be alledged that the Russian Plenipotentiary stepped be yond his authority. Never were pow ers more unlimited given, nor was there ever u promise to ratify a Treaty more formal or more positive. A constant intelligence was remarked in the course of the negociations between the Courts of St. Petersburg!! and London, to ad vance, delay, or break them off. The moment when the Treaty was signed, Mr. D’Oubril sent a courier publicly to London, to inform the Russian ambas sador of what had just taken place, but this might be considered as the prema ture notification of a Treaty, which the Imperial word naturally held out as rat ified. In these circumstances, Russia made extraordinary levies ; England, it was well known, was preparing expedi tions ; but still upon the Imperial word, it was naturally to believe that the Trea ty would be ratified : and the Emperor Napoleon, gave so far this testimony of confidence to the good faith of the Em peror of Russia, that the directly issued orders for the cessation of all hostilities. This generous precipitancy reminds us of the sending back of the Russian pris oners to Paul I. and to those sent back to his son last campaign : this continua tion of generosity forms a singular con trast with the perseverance of hostile sentiments which the Emperor of Rus sia observes towards the Emperor of the French, and would alone suffice to mark the difference of their.causes. The Emperor Alexander may open ly Set forth the new grievances he has against France. Faithfully to the prin ciples of the Treaty of Presburgh, she has only completed its execution. The organization of the Gemanic Confedera tion, was its inevitable consequence ; it consecrated the independence of the States which compose it, irrevocably re gulated their regulations, and put them in harmony with their interests. This association had been long foreseen and called for, as essential to the future re pose of Europe. The communications made in this respect between the Mem bers of the Germanic Body, had com menced several months prior to Mr. D’Oubril’s mission to Paris. The fact was made and known previous t» the signature of the Treaty of Peace, and France was in the same attitude; she ' fdone had a right to complain, that a Russian division persisted in the occu pation of a neutral division. For want of plausible reasons, we may seek for the secret motive of this rupture—we shall find it, however, to be no more dictated by the interest of Russia, than it is by the laws of honor and justice. For these fifteen years past, a war has been carried on against France, which has indeed often changed its name or its pretext; but the constant aim of which has been to lower and destroy the French power. However, the obstacles set against her have only served as steps to her elevation ; the fate of arms has left no other bounds k- her preponderance than her own mo deration ; and such has been her for tune, that the most obstinate of her enemies saw peace as the only resource and the sole means of stopping the i flight she had taken. At the time of < the organization of the New Ministry, i there appeared under their auspices at < laOnrlnn. a WVirLr. in * nouhced perhaps less the djsire than the necessity of making peace. Whilst the author reproached the former Min isters with their inconsistency, their precipitation, their coalitions ill-formed and ill-conducted, he considered peace as the best means of one day attacking France with success, of extinguishing by degrees her military spirit, of ruin ing her alliances, and repairing the loss of her allies ; of concerting more feasi ble designs, and of waiting for more favorable occasions. The Morning Chronicle of the 21st and 22d, follow ing the same principles, does not fear to affirm, that no power is now able to attack the prosperity of France, and advises her enemies to adjourn the re sentment. Thus, according to the most moderate writers, the English government would never see any thing in peace but a means of more advanta geously making war. The negocia lions they open would be snares ; the olive branch they hold out, would be poison. Under such circumstances, with such enemies, France owes thanks to him who, penetrating their designs, has found means to secure himseit a gainst them. But from the fatality ev er attached to their plots, after reveal ing their secrets, they have again be trayed their cause. Their position is not more favorable than at the end of last war. They have neither more skilful gen erals, better exercised soldiers, nor bet ter concerted designs. If they again find allies on the continent, they devote them to certain ruin. The Emperor Napoleon has read their thoughts ; he has known how to avail himself of the advantages ol his victory; he has been obliged to keep his military attitude; and, happily, for the future tranquility of Europe, those who wish oidy for tru ces, those who waited for his sleep, and can keep neither their word nor their treaties, will find him still more formidable than in the plains of Aus terlitz. 1 he following Proclamations of gen. Miranda, the one published on his leaving Coro, and the other on his last arrival at Aruba, have been handed us.— Com. Adv. PROCLAMATION. Anxious to give proofs of modera tion and affection to my fellow-citizens and countrymen, we have resolved to withdraw from the city of Coro the small number of troops which we had brought, in order to remove the fears, who'll the fugitive commander of this district, and other agents of the Span ish government, have endeavored to iniuse into the minds of the inoffensive people, and particularly the women and children. Ihe inhabitants may re-en ter tranquilly their own respective dwel fings, without fear or suspicion. With this view we transfer our head quar ters to the shore, from whence we can equally afford the people of this coun try, without the least inconvenience, all the succor which they need. The annexed letter, directed to the court, and city council of this city, is a Proof of our equitable intentions, and that it is not in the cities, but in the field, that we wish to fight with the op pressors alone of the Columbian peo ple. It this people wish for any fur ther proofs of the perfidy and infamy with which the Spanish governors con duct themselves in all their transac tions, let them pay a strict attention to the preclamation recently published by order of the captain general of Carac cas, by which they offer considerable sums of money to any one who would boldly assassinate a citizen, who purely and sincerely defends the rights of that ‘same people. Despicable and atroci ous tyrants ! 1 bey have not even cou rage enough to look their enemies in the face. We trust that those wise persons, who have known and seen us act until now, will open the eyes of the rest of the citizens concerning their own res pective interests, in order that, ap proaching nearer to my person, vve might mutually concert the interests and felicity of our country, the only ob ject of my wishes.

This notification is directed to you, in order to prevent, in time, the fatal consequences of a useless resistance tioni the civil and military authorities of the city, that we may jointly, and as sures to preserve the peace union and happiness of our countrymen and friends. I make no doubt, but your prudence and patriotism will induce you to enter into a mutual accommodation, as use ful as it will be honorable to both par ties. Thus will the shedding of bloou, and those disturbances which are the unavoidable consequences of war, be wholly prevented. The Count De Rouvray, command er in chief of the advanced posts of the army, is authorized to confer with you on this important business ; to take possession of the city and prevent all confusion or dispute with the civil and ecclesiastical authorities which are to remain in it, conformably to the inclos ed proclamation.

If the present circumstances compel us to take possession of this isle by force of arms, be assured, that your persons, your property, and your tran quility, shall be invioably protected.— Obey your laws, respect your magis trates, in whose hands we shall rest all the civil authority; since we have al ready ascertained by experience, that they are persons of probity. It is not our intention to make any alteration whatever, in the government of the country. Let your commerce continue as be fore, with the isle of Curracoa and oth er neutrals, provided, it does not in any way tend to injure this expedition Our principal object is the indepen i; dence of the whole Columbian Conti -1 j nent, for the comfort of all its inhabit j ants, and tor the refuge of the human race. They alone, who are the agents : or accomplices of a government of as j sassins, are our enemies. The gov ernor of Caraccas Vorconcelos, toge -1 ther with the magistrates, have offered I by a decree, 30,000 dollars, and hon ors, to him who would assassinate a ci tizen of the country, who through hon orable means, defends the rights of his countrymen and the glory of his coun ■ try; like the Prince of Orange, in Hol -1 land; Washington in America; and : Pelopidas, and Dion, in Greece. Let those hypocrites tell us which of the , divine or human laws authorize such a 1 decree? Do they wish to renew in these times, and among the Ameri cans, the cruelties and infamies of the ' government of Philip 11. in Holland, 1 which have disgraced forever, his name • and the nation which permitted them.
