Waterloo, * reprobates Bonaparte for deserting his brave foidiers in the fatal conflict; ot the 18th of June. “ His brave guards,” fays the fcribler, “ were all killed', and yet theie were the men he desert ed.” Why it should be necessary for a general to remain with dead folcfters, we are not iufficiently vers ed in English military tatties to comprehend: but it leems to us, that when an army is cut to pieces, if a general has been so fortunate as to elcape the uluarl perils ot the fight, he mutt be very obliging to his enemy to flay and be killed Cop. Balt. Patriot. REPOK i 1) LOS.-J OF THE UNI I ED S I AIE V BRIG L’EPER VIER- Captain Smi h, A the Ihip Eliza Barker, arrived hom lurk'* Island, in this harbor on fhurfday evening lalt, which place he left on ;he ft mitart, reports, that, a few hourb pitvious to hit leaving Turk’s lflmd, his agent came on b ard and intoimed him, that, by the ajrivai of an Etxgiilh vtflei, in tel ii>e‘ ce had been jult received of the fi.iking oijm American brig of war, which, if true, mutt have been L'Eper vier The chcumftances related were, that the brig had fallen in with an Eng lifli 74-, ft’om which the was boarded Afi cr the boarding officer having en quued where JL/Epevviei was liom, and being answered tha file liad been difpafched from the Mediterranean by Commodore Decattl*’ for the United States, he demanded Lieutenant Shu~ brick's commiflion; which mandate was answered bv the Lieuienan , point ing to the American flag, ‘ that fir is the commiflion 1 kear n The Eugiifh officer re umed to ins commander and made his report ; upon which he was remanded to the American veflei, with a similar demand. To this the former rejoinder was given ; he went to Ins own (hip, and informed his captain.— In 1 he mean time L’Epe.viermadefale; which .he English commander perceiv ing, fired a gun at her ; I/Epervier re turned it ; when the Engl*(h ieventy four opened her btoad fide upon the brig and funk her. Cnpt. Smith heard not whether any of her crew were sav ed, nor the time or latitude iti which the atrocious rranfa£tion was perpetrat ed; bur. fays the above repor com mon: v betievbd at iurk'a lfl.rnd. We had formed our opinion that L*- Epetvier perished in the severe galesof last uguft, but captain Smith's report is so ctrcumftantial in fomc refpedls, that we *re almost induced to give it credence. Still, we suppose, had it been founded on fa£t, the name of the fevenry four and the time of the horrid deed could no more escape the oufy tongue of rumour, dian Lieutenant Shubrick's language. Should, howe ver ;he fiend !ik malice of an English capiajn have consigned our gallant countrymen, in the hour of peace, to a watry grave and sea weak wi. ding flicei, America has no cause 10 bfiifh at her children': deeds; for the finking of L'Epeivier is another proof to those which haveprevioufly taken place, that neither fuperioi force nor the love of life can induce our seamen to lubmit to dishonor. Fame will inlcibe their names on the page of immortality ... “ There fir. is the commiflion I beard will be the watch w’ord tor generations yet to come, and rouse every free heart & raise every hand now in our country to appease the manes of.Shubrick and his companions.

FROM ’ FRANCE. I ‘ igs. Ext rail of a letter to the editors of the Bojlon Patriot , dated Bordeaux , Sept. c 2d , 18 1 5 . * I wrote you a few days ago, an nouncing to you my atrival here in twenty eight days- The markets con tinue very bad, there was a sudden rife in Cotton a few days ago, the bell Louisiana having loid for 2051 the 1 00 lbs but it has fallen again and we have now no price The Engufhhave been buying up large quantities in .the south of France* and if what is reported is true, mat this government have made a treaty of commerce with England, in which the manufactured cottons of tha country will be recet ed here and French inks admitted into England,- otn trade will luffer to tins country, as the englifh merchant will undersell the manufacturer ot France, and thus that branch which was becoming very fiounlhing here will decay It is with great pain that I slate to you how unpopular we are with the ■ Royal party. We are forbid wearing our Eagle, and it is dangerous for an American 10 be seen as such at the ihe a ies, where the English airs, ‘ Godfave the King” and *- Rule Bntania” are lung eveiy evening with applaule. I enclose you a piece which ap peared here the other day against us; and a copy of an answer laid to be writ ten by our coniui, Mr. Lee. One of our citizens, Mr. dalpartas, of Charles ton, 5, C, had a quarrel fome days since at the 1 heaire, with a Royalilt, who called him over the next day. When he came on the ground, he found fe verai people there with his antagomll; -some ot them were of the Royai Guard in’ uniform ; they all fell on him with their iticks and swords, and cut and mangled him in a Blocking manner ... Mr. ijafportas is in bed with his wounds, and though our Coniui has applied to all the authorities, no jultice can be obtained, and hts aiiaffin walks aboq,t the. itieeu,’ and ib complimented tor killing a jacobin mencan J At the Head ot this faCiion opposed to Americans, are several of the Eng lith & Scale■ houses of this city, lhe young men of winch ran off to Ameri ca in the time of Napoleon, <0 avoid the confcriprion, and were there treat ed with ktndnefs, which they now re pay by heading the Royaiitts againfl us This party have threatened to pull down the arms over the door of our Consul, and they have attempted by threats to force him to haul down the American flag and hoist the white one. Not fucceedmg in this, they endeav ored to force him to hoist the white flag with the American one ; but he flood his ground and kept up his own colors and aims, winch with the illumination ot his hc-ufe he said was lufficient. , Many of the Americans are forced to ferre in the National Guards, snfl to do service in the palace Your friend, Mr Andrews refufed, and four foidiers were sent to arrest him, but he fled to the Confui's house, who pro tected him & remonstrated against the violence of the measure with success V vent les Anglois—a bas Its .me i cans , is the cry to be heatd every day here ; these thing will change before long. It is impoflibJe they should re main in this state. At Avignon, Mar fhal Brune has been alLffinated by the people; he did not biow his own brains our, as the Paris papers fay. At Tou louse the General Ramel has been as sassinated, for attempting to inftal the the Mayor named by the King, while the people wanted the Mayor named by the Duke of Angouleme In the South, the protestants are at tacked and assassinated; 400 protestant houses have been pillaged. & hundreds of people murdered. The protestants of Bordeaux begin to tremble, and well they may after the horrible massacres of those of their fe£t in the south.... These are dreadful times Weave re trogading to the 13th century. The King himfeif is not popular with the high flying Royalists—They fay he is a weak monarch, because he does not punilh all the chiefs of the revolution. The duke of Angouleme is their idol He is for exterminating all the conspicuous men of part times The women of all clafies are furies; they are raving mad running about the streets crying am howling like hyxnas. They are bitter against us i hey pre fer a British ioldier to a F;ench one ; but had rather be courted by a monk or a priest than either ; such is the es feCt of religious and political Gnati cifm. The Allies, as they are called , are go verning France. Ihe Prulfians to Normundy and-Britanny ; the Englilh extend from Paris to the Low Coun. tries , the Ruffians the departments on the Rhine; the Austrians, Lyons, Tou lon, Marseilles, &c. The Spaniards are expetfled here, at l oulotfe & Bay onne; under the walls of the latter they have already arrived The Englilh on ly appear to conduct well, paying for all they take ; but they are accused of mitigating the Prussians to all forts of excefles, such as pillaging, destroying and burning all the manufactures of France which come in their way. Lyons; and indeed every where, where the Austrian troops ate, they & the people cry, Five Napoleon II ‘The department of W ai has hoilted the tri colored flag. Judge of the dreadful state of France from these faCts,— Here is a small party for Napoleon—a larger for Napoleon II ..ione for the king...another for the Duke of Orleans and one for the Duke of Angouleme!! France is loft for half a century. The British faCtion are working here to prejudice the minds of the people of France against us. Their emm-flaries are every where and very aCtive. They talk louldy of attacking us again when the affairs of france are fettled It is a facl that ought to be known in the U States that t e Royal Family of France are not friendly to us, and are devoted to England. LA TEST FROM FRANCE. By a late arrival at Baltimore from Bordeaux, we have the following : A great many places have refufed to hoist the white flag the tri coior yet flies at Cherbourg, Longway, Charle mont, Montmedi, Salins, Neubrifac, and many other places. Some of he towns are regularly besieged. Cher boutg was invested with 30,000 men, who, it is believed, would be with out great bloodshed. Napoleon has still a very strong party 111 Fiance.— “ DifafFe£lion !/ is the order of the day. A tTeaty beween the emperor of Austria and “ king Muraf ’ has appear ed, by which he renounces his title of king, and takes that of count Lipona.

The allies have abandoned the siege of Charlement, aiortrefs diffi cult to take, bur carry on with more energy that of Montmedi, which has only a garrison of 600 regulars and 200 national Guards. The siege of the Fort of Safins is persevered in—the cannon are heared at Dole. Preparations are making to undertake the fiegte of Neubrifac. London September 1 1. The ceflion of the fl iridaj bv the Spaniaids to the English government is very currently reported.. It is said also that that cession is viewed with considerable uneasiness by the United States; for fince/he acqufirkm of Lou isiana, which Bonapane forced the Spanish government to cede to him in order that he might fell it again to i*ie Utn.ed States, the latter have always desired to annex rlie two Fbridas, which are so admirably fitWd to aug ment and round off their pofllfli, ns.— The Florida*, as our readers wii! re member, were ceded to us by the trea ty of 763 We kept them,until 17KI* when they were taken by the Spaniards to whom we ceded them by the treaty of 1 1 S3 Strong Emblem —At a late presen tation of colors to certai Prussian re giments at Paris, the English l erend nailed the standard to the ftaff with a nail of goal The •way it works —Many letters ‘from France, especially from the sea port towns, and Bordeaux in particular, gives us evidence of a very hoflile dis position prevailir gagainft the peopelof the United States, which no doubt owes its rife chiefly to the jealousy and hate of the English and Scotch merchants that fill them Washington City , Nov. 7.
