" The terms which have so rapidly succeeded each other, prevent ed me from early fulfilling the promise I made you, Madame, in my letter of the ted June, 1814.

(4.ig0.-‘1) " FREDERICK WILLIAM." •• Paris, Aug. ‘.!l, 1815." The Journal General de France, in an article upon the Electoral Colleges, asks who have they chosen as deputies ? •' Creatures of Buonaparte, lovers of anarchy and disorder ? Rio; hut wise and quiet men, flicnds of their King and count , y--men whose sentiments are pure and principles cer tain." The sweet-meat box which accompanied this letter, was a-dorned with twenty magnificent diamonds, forming the Kim's cypher. The Prussians say, " when the French visited their coun try, they lovred themselves; but now, as the French in vited them, they have a right to shake free, and help them selves to what they like best." This return of hospitality the Parisians do not seem to understand. The joy of a Frenchman is the happiest and easiest thing imaginable Lie rejoices when a King is turned out, and . lie rejoice.; wilco he comes back—he rejoices when he de yours the go , d things of other countries, and he rejoices v7;ten the inhabitants of other countries devour him. Amongst the many causes which Iluonaparte will leave be hind him for posterity to curse his memory, is the total demo fal;:t7t ion of Fiance. At present not the smallest respect for honour or religion is found amongst the inhabitants; but sql..h the ptofession of brigandisin they have adopted all the licentious and ',it - barons manners of a country without law; or, if there can he any thing more profligate, that of com mitting b.alhatiticc u d I. the name o f re li g i on . In the course of Ihe debates in the Commons lalt on the Catholic Question, Mr. Secretary Peel made kite of some strong expressions regarding the motives of the Ca tholic 1 aders, which Counsellor OlConnel having taken to liimself personally, rausrd him to remark at a late Aggregate Meeting of the Catlnlics, " that Mr. Peel would not nAttr., Iu his presence. or in any place where he was liable to per oat account, to use a single expression derogatory to his ..terest or his honour." In ccolerptence of these remarks, Sir Charles Saxton called upon Mr. O'Cnnnel, to declare on the part of Mr. Pet!, that he unequivocally avowed and held hittmlf for any thing he might have Said, and ~_ TE gATIO* H REGISTER. • r.,PT. 10►. that he hence presumed Mr. Peel might expect' to hear from him (in other words to receive a challenge). Mr. O'Connel said he must advise with his friends ; and having consulted Mr. Liciwill, the latter was of opinion that Mr. •O'Connel's language was grossly offensive towards Mr. Pe e l, and that . to send an hostile challenge would be an unjusti fiable prodigality of his own life, and a wanton aggression on that of another. Here the matter seemingly would have ended; but Sir Charles Saxton and Mr. Lldwill are at va riance as to what really paSsed between them in negociating on behalf of their respective friends, and how the matter will finally.terminate, remains uncertain. Extract of a Letter from an Officer on hoard his Majesty's ship Warrior, dated Portsmouth, Sept. 5.—" The Warrior, of 74 guns, sailed from Jamaica in company with the Electra gun-brig, and ninety sail of merchantmen under convoy, on the 10th of July. On the 9th of August, at four P. M. near the banks of Newfoundland, it began to blow hard from the S. E. with very thick weather; at a quarter past four shipped a heavy sea, which car tied away the lee-quarrer boat, quar terdeck gangway, and forecastle bulwark, also our boats, five in number, that were stowed on the booms at mid-ship. We then observed a ship on the lee-bow, about 100 yards from us; at this moment we broke our tiller and carried away our rudder head; and, soon after, fell on board the George mer chantman, of Liverpool, 'where we lay some time beating each other to pieces. The George's masts were carried away, and our anchor stove in her sides. In this sinking state the ship's company, 16 in number, got on board of us, including two children. She then dropped astern, and in a few minutes sunk, with the master, one man, and a child. To get the Warrior before the wind, we cut away our mizen-mast, and hove our anchors overboard, but it had not the desired effect. We then strove to throw overboard part of our guns, but were unable so to do owing to the ship being nearly on her broadside, and in some degree water-logged.--We then cut away our main mast and got a tiller shipped in the ward room, when she righted, which enabled us to throw overboard twelve of our main deck guns. At this time the wind shifted to the S. W. and we got lier before it, but found the lower deck ports under water and ten feet and a half water in the hold. All hands to the pumps, when we soon gained on her. At this time the gale, which had lasted for seven hours, began to moderate, and by two o'clock A. M. on the loth, we had nearly freed the whole from water. 'Our bed rooms, powder magazines, provision rooms, and almost every other place in the interior of the ship, got filled with water during the gale, which nearly destroyed every thing therein. About forty sail of' the convoy, we understand, arc distnaste, and several founecred during the gale. We have spoken ships having on board the crews of five others." LLOYD'S, SEPT. T.—Statement of the Warrior's convoy from Jamaica, this morning: 18 arrived, 6 abandoned la sea, and it is supposed foundered ; 3 gone to Halifax in d:s. tress, Co unaccounted for; making a total of 87 sail, bou:rd to Great Britain. According to advises by the ships just arrived from Ben gal, the operations of the war in the Napaul country bud ceased by an armistice, for the purpose of allowing a depu tation to wait on Lord Moira, with a view to ascertain on what terms his Lordship would be disposed to withdraw his invading forces from the Napaul country, and to restore peace. Earnest hopes were entertained - that this mission would be attended with a pacific result : which was rendered matter of particular anxiety by the unexpected obstinacy of the enemy, arid the unusually severe kisses of must valuable British lives sustained in cunsequcucc.
