month, paid their respects to the
King and the royal family, among
them were remarked the American
minifies, Messrs. Clay, Bayard &
Ruffe if, and Messrs. Todd and Mil
ligan, Secretaries of Legation, who

London, January 27.
A Gentleman has reached town
within this day or two from France,
in a bye boat. He ftatcs that no
thing certain had transpired with
respect to the Congress at Vienna.
It was, however, generally believed
in France, that notwiihltanding the
ill-humour so apparent amongst the
several Negociators, they would fe
perate without any renewal of hos
tilities to tile great disappointment
and mortification of the military at
Paris, who are anxious to hear a
gain the found of the war-whoop,
no .matter from what quarter.
Now that matters have been fi
nally fettled at Ghent, Mr. Craw
ford does not hesitate to declare a
mongfl his friends, that the Amer
ica n /Cos mmi ffi ouer sin fignihg the
peace, have not exceeded their in
ftrudions, but 0:1 the contrary, they
were authorifed to fubfctibe to
terms far less favourable than those
they obtained. We have the very
bell authority for this statement.
Leghorn , December 10.
A Greek, living at Mhylene,
having refilled to pay the tribute,
which the Turkifli captain flamed
levied in the ill iilds of the Archipe
lago. was carried on board the fri
gate the Camel and after having re
ceived the baltinado, upon anew
relufal which he had made the next
day, declaring he had no means to
pay, the Furkilh captain put the
wife and daughter of the unfortu
nate man to death, before his eyes.
He seized an opportunity when the
crew were alleep and letting fire to
the magazine, blew up the veffcl.
One Hundred and sixty men were
victims of the barbarity of the
Turk.
. Belfast, Dec. 50.
We have taken from the lad
packets the fubllance of the foreign
intelligence mod interefling to the
public at the present. moment—
Perhaps nothing has appeared so
well calculated to- moderate the
claims of England against America,
as the formidable demeanor she has
latterly assumed. She speaks and
acts on a greater scale ; it is not one
or two ships, but feels, which she
is putting forth ; it is not the for
tuitous offerings of a few volunteer
corps, but an army of 100,000
men, railed on the Napoleon sys
tem ; that very fyffem which we
would have supposed republicans
would hold in the greatest abhor
rence.—What force can England,
with all her navy, fend out to cope
with such an Army as America is
railing ? We, therefore, Ihoul i
fuppole, that national pride will
surrender to national reason, and
that Peace may be embraced when
War mull be ruinous.
Mr. Curran. —We are informed
by the Sentinel of Wednesday, that
Mr. Curran is about to present his
countrymen with a view of Irish
Catholic Politics, past and present.
We are greatly rejoiced that such a
fubjecl should be difeutied by so
able a pen, and we are still more
happy in the reflection, that our
great countryman appears so much
alive to the necessity of removing
those imprefiions which an unhap
py effufion of political irritation has
made upon the minds of Irilhmen.
The Bengal Merchants are fuid
to have represented to Government,
that if the Americans were exclud
ed from the British ports in India,
a valuble trade would thereby be
diverted, into the hands of the fub
jedts of other
disadvantage of the Britilii trader.
Rather finguhr that the prosperity
of our Bengal traders should be so
dependent on the Americans.

INDIAN HONiIEITY.
Dr. Bird, of this* place, return
ed from the Indian nation a few
days ago. He (fates, that on the
night of the 17th instant a small
party of men who had encamped
between Forts Perry and Lawrence,
(supposed to be of Gen. f M’lnto(h’s
detach ment from Mobile;) was fired
on while asleep by a body oi Indi
ans. John Mathews of Lincoln
county was killed, George Cabi
nefs and David Clarke of Jones
(hot through the body and thought
to be mortally wounded, and Lieut.
Walker & a ‘Mr Malden of Wilkes
(evercly wounded. This unpro
voked aggreflion on the part of the
Creek Indians will doubtless re
ceive from our government what it
deserves—a speedy and exemplary
chaflilement. Dr. Bird left Gen
eral M’lntolh’s army at Alabama
Heights fifteen days ago.

By letters from the foutlnvard,
\fe learn that the British transport
that remained in St. Andrew’s
found, seized on the 6th i.ift. from
a packet boat going to Amelia, A
mos Lindsey, and detained him as
a hostage under the pleai a boy
having (ome -time since deserted
from the transport and entered as
an apprentice with said Lindsey—-
Captain Tattnall, of the United
States’ Army, however, was infor
med of it, who immediately font
twenty men on board the transport
and took Lindsey out. Fine times
indeed, when a captain of t a British
transport in time of peace, and in
American waters too, dares to flop
or mold! an American citizen ! !

FROM HAVANA.
We have intelligence from Ha
vana as late as the 12th instant
We under It and from authority that
may be relied upon, that orders
had been received by the Governor
at Havana, to (hut the port to all
foreign vefiels ; but the people in
general were so exasperated at this
news that the Governor had not
firmnefs enough to enforce it. On
the king’s birth day, the Governor
addressed the people at the govern
ment fquarc, and informed them,
that he had just received intelli
gence that he was going to be le
lieved by another Governor, who
was momently expected with three
thousand troops —and on ending his
speech, he deli red the people to cry
out vive le Roi; but fix of the sol
diers obeyed the order—the rest
cried out vive so Constitution !
I It is thought the ocuntry will de
clare itfelf independent, and open
its ports to all nations ; but whether
this revolution will take place with
out the effufion of blood or not,
God only knows.
Sixteen vefiels had arrived at
Havana from Pvlartinique 5c Guad
alope with flour ; also several from
New York and Philadelphia—flour
is down to 16 dollars and the du
ties and port expenses equal 10
dollars ; rice 3 dollars and 50 cts.
and a few weeks ago it had been
fold at 2 dollars. This deprecia
tion in the price of American pro
duce is attributed to two causes,
either that the market is considera
bly overstocked, or, to the certain
ty which the people have that the
port will not be fliut to the Ameri
can commerce.— lb.
ST. “DOMINGO. *
The following is an extract of a
letter from a gentleman in vYalh
ington, (n. c.) dated Bth inst. to
his brother in this city.
“ It is true that a French fleet
has arrived off the coast of St. Do
mingo Mr. Holmes, who arri
ved here on the 3d inst. from that
ifl.md T in 9 days paflage, informs,
that a fleet of 60 (ail of armed ves
sels, together with a large number
of transports, having on board 40,-
000 troops, had arrived there 12th
March ; and that he has no doubt
they are by this time in poHellion
of the principal ports.”— Charleston
Courier.
A court of enquiry was lately
held at New York, at the desire
of general Ripley The court had ,
proceeded in its inquiry for fome
days, when an order was received
for its diflolution. A measure of
this nature might be allowable in
time of war ; bur in a period of
peace, it is not to be accounted for
in any rational way— there is some
thing in the way. — Aurora.
WILKINSON’S TRIAL.
The general court martial which
lately fat at Troy, in the state of N.
York, has terminated its proceed
ings about a fortnight, the re
sult, we are credibly informed, has
been, that the general was acquit
ted unanimouily on every charge
and every fpecification.
It is Hated to us that the evidence
given on oath , on this trial, whene
ver it (hall be publilhed,. will give
very different views of military trans
actions and military men, from
thole which a system of proscrip
tion, worthy of Robespierre, had
itnpofed in fome measure upon the
nation.— lb.

When the Britilh squadron came

immediately made fail, and in a
short time was out of fight.
