residence after his imprisonment. After the Treaties and Article before mentioned had been negociated, and that the Dey had refunded three hundred and eighty-two thousand five hundred dollars, which he had lately received from the Governments of Naples and Sardinia, and had released one thousand and eighty-three Christian slaves who were at Algiers, it came to the knowledge of Lord Exmouth that two Spaniards, the one a merchant and the other the Vice-Consul of that nation, had not been released, but were still held by the Dey in very severe custody, on pretence that they were prisoners for debt. His Lordship had determined to insist on the unconditional release of the two Spaniards. He therefore desired an answer, yes or no; and, in the event of the latter, stated, that he would immediately commence hostilities, and his Lordship, made preparations for that purpose. These measures had the desired effect; and the two persons were released from a long and severe captivity, so that no Christain prisoner remained at Algiers. Declaration of his Most Serene Highness Omar, Bashaw, Dey, and Governor of the Warlike City and Kingdom of Algiers, made and concluded with the Right Honourable Edward Baron Exmouth, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, Admiral of the Blue Squadron of his Britannic Majesty's Fleet, and Commander in Chief of his said Majesty' Ships and Vessels employed in the Mediterranean. In consideration of the deep interest manifestted by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England for the termination of Christian Slavery, his Highness the Dey of Algiers, in token of his sincere desire to maintain inviolable his friendly relations with Great Britain, and to manifest his amicable disposition and high respect towards the Powers of Europe, declares that in the event of future wars with any European Power, not any of the prisoners shall be consigned to slavery, but treated with all humanity, as prisoners of war, until regularly exchanged, according to European practice in like cases, and that at the termination of hostilities they shall be restored to their respective countries without ransom; and the practice of condemning Christian prisoners of war to slavery is hereby formally and for ever renounced. Done in duplicate in the Warlike City of Algiers, in the presence of Almighty God, the 28th day of August, in the year of Jesus Christ, 1816, and in the year of the Hegira 1231, and the 6th day of the moon Shawal. (The Dey's Seal.) (Signed) EXMOUTH, (L. S.) Admiral, and Commander in Chief. (Signed) H. M'DOUELL. (I.. S.) By command of the Admiral, (Signed). Jos. GRIMES, Secretary. Charlotte, Lord Exmouth, and some other vessels, have arrived at Portsulonth. Another division, consisting of the Inpreg nable, Superb, Hebrus, and Belzebub, has arrived at Plymouth. On Lord Exmouth's departure from Gibraltar, he was joined by the Tagus, the Hon. Captain Dundas, who had just been at Algiers. Captain Dundas stated, that the conduct of the Dey was in the highest degree cordial and proper, and that the people behaved in a decorous and even friendly manner, which never used to be so before, as they always, it seems, indulged themselves in the privilege of insulting our countrymen, whenever they appeared in public. The following officers have obtained promotion for their gallant services at Algiers :-Captain S. Kempthorue, of the Belzebub, to the rank of Post-Captain, and to come home in command of the Queen Charlotte. Lieutenants Mitchell and Burgess (Flag Lieutenant) Queen Charlotte; Lieutenants Saunders and Bevaus (Flag Lieutenant) Leander; Lieut. Horne, Superb; Lieut. R. Hay, Albion; Lieut. Babington, Impregnable; Lieut. J. R. Howell, Minden; Lieut. John Parsons, Granicus; Lieut. G. M'Pherson, Glasgow; Lieut. James Davies, Severn; Lieut. Delafosse, Hebrus-to the rank of Commander. It appears by the latest accounts, that after the British fleet had departed, the people were thrown into a kind of stupor; and did not know what steps to take. The Janissaries talked of plundering the city, but from this the Dey found means to turn them, for the prescut. The fate of the place, however, was not thought to be finally determined. We have occasionly amused our readers with some exquisite specimens of Gallic mystification and quizzing, proceeding from the school of Buonaparte; in order not to lose their dexterity, the French writers of affair, to publish some charming ideas on news have taken the opportunity of this the subject. They have told us, that the slaves were so well treated, that they regretted exceedingly their removal from the house of bondage, and that one even hanged himself for grief!! But nothing is pleasanter than a speech of the Dey, written for him by some dexterous wight at a bulletin, who for a moment outdid his former outdoings:--what a pity he knew not a letter of Arabic !! his army, aud standing on the bastion that The Dey, surrounded by the officers of bled people: was most damaged, addressed the assem Quebec, Aug. 22.-" We have much satisfaction in learning from all parts that nothing can be more flattering than the appearance of the crops in the two Canadas. We trust the pleasing prospect will be eventually realized in overflowing granaries." From the Montreal Herald of Aug. 17On Thursday last, a gentleman arrived in this city from Sault Ste Marie, with very disagreeable reports from the Red River Settlement, of which so much has been said and written for a while past. It is said, that a dispute had arisen between the Indians and some of the Hudson's Bay Company's officers, about an escort of provisions; that the parties came to blows, and that, in the contest, 21 of the Hudson's Bay people were killed; including the Govenor, Mr. Semple. Halifax papers to the 7th Sept. mention, that accounts had been received by, the Chief Justice of Bermuda from the Government in England, that the American trade to that island would be prohibited; as being made a free port was only a temporary measure, and enacted during the war be tween Great Britian and the United States; and that Bermuda would be placed on the same footing as the British West India islands. AMERICA: UNITED STATES. The Bank of the United States, and the resumption of cash payments, continue to be the chief subject of discussion in America.. The Boston papers of August 27th mentions, that it is ascertained that about three millions of the capital of the Bank is unsubscribed for. Mr. Dallas, in a circu lar letter dated August 15, addressed to the commissioners of the Bank, mentions that he expects above eight millions of dollars will be collected in specit for the subscription to the Bank in the different States, and that the establishment will be in active operation by February 20th, when all notes issued by banks who do not pay in specie will be refused in payment of duties or taxes to government. Price of Milk raised. Extract from the Mercantile Advertiser of Norfolk of the 30th July: una milkmen of this city and its vicinity, held "NOTICE.-At a general meeting of the greebly to previous notice, it was nimously agreed to submit the following to their customers and the public Resolved-That through the Providence of God, the crops of corn and grass are almost all destroyed by the late drought and coldness of the last spring, thereby rendering it difficult to subsist their cattle, much more to yield milk; and trust their customers and the public will not consider it as taking the advantage of them, by raising the price two cents on the quart, as all other necessaries of life have advanced in price, and every species of food much higher and scarce. "Therefore, resolved-That from and after the 1st day of August next, the price of milk will be ten pence the quart, and this shall be the established price."

Americau 6 per cents. 89 a 90, and rising. Letters from Philadelphia to Aug. 30th, bring most deplorable account of the stagnation of business in that plac.

The following is an extract of a letter from James Buchanan, Esq. (British Consul we believe), dated New York August 23: "You will be surprised that I expect orders daily to take up vessels to send back thousands of emigrants from here to England, ireland, and Scotland. The applications at this office, this week, to be sent back. amount to 10 for England, 8 to Scotland, and 76 to Ireland: indeed, so great is the distress here, that thousands must starve if some money is not extended to thein by our Government, which they have been induced to abandon. I have granted passports to great numbers to go to Upper Canada: hundreds who have been settled here for years have applied to me to be permitted to go to Canada; but a proper degree of delicacy is observed by our Government, lest it should be alledged we wish to draw any of the citizens from the States to our colonies. However, it is a degree of satisfaction, that those parts of the Continent which have remained under the British Government is preferred to the United States, who boast so much of their superior privileges I have no objection that this extract should be published in England: on the contrary, I would deem it important that these things were fully known, that such emigrants should, in the first instance, go direct to Canada, who are obliged to abandon their native soil." at New York have applied to the Consul there for a passage back again to Great Britain and Ireland, as they cannot find the means of living in that country. Captain Beveridge, of the Cheerful, who sailed from Leith to New York some time ago, with passengers, writes home on the 24th August, that a great many of these emigrants were soliciting a passage back again, and that the British Consul was in terms with the American Government to get them sent home. Ten of the miserable emigrants referred to in Mr. Buchanan's letter have arrived at Liverpool in the Venus. They have been rescued from starvation by the humanity of Mr. B. and sent to their native land. AUSTRIA. Fortune accumulated. The richest publican in Vienna, and doubtless in all Austria, died lately. His name was Celsam, and he has left above three millions of Austrian money, which are the fruit of his industry and economy. He had been a dealer in wine for above 30 years, and had begun with a very little public-house BELGIUM. National Industry Patronised. Brussels, Sept. 22. desiring to promote by all possible means, The Government, the national industry, the Minister of the States a Table of all the Establishments Interior has required from the Provincial of Industry that existed on the 1st of August, 1816. The questions put by his Exthe Manufacturers may entertain of the cellency must remove every doubt which this information. The Government has no use to which the Government means to put other view than the promotion of industry. In the two last columns of the table, which will contain the state of manufactures, the obstacles must be mentioned that impede the progress of our maunfactures, with the means of removing them.—(Dutch Papers.) FRANCE. Oriental modes of Schooling adopted. [From a French Paper.] We must hail with delight the project of an establishment which tends to teach quickly young girls to sew, embroider, mark linen, &c. This establishment is to be held at the ancient College des Grassins, Rue des Amandiers, near Genevieve. They have adopted the Lancasterian method. It has been long known in France, but we We are informed on respectable autho-made little use of it; it is in the highest rity, dated Aug. 16, that 3,000 emigrants perfection in England, from whence we schools of this kind which have done much good. But in this respect Paris will soon vie with all the towns of Great Britain. In the school for boys all the orders are verbally given; but in the school for girls they are given by signs, the general movements are executed at the sound of a little bell, and if they speak it is in a whisper. The College des Grassins is not yet begun, but it will not be delayed. It will be a benefit to the parish, to the town, and to France, as one foundation will be followed by others. Thus what is good is not lost to us. The elementary institution will spread itself. These methods are renewed from the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Indians, the Arabians. Every hint comes from the East, and there may be seen in the King's Library, in the third book, a note that may satisfy amateurs. Compliment to Lord Exmouth. The town of Marseilles has given two olives, one to Lord Exmouth, and the other to Sir Hudson Lowe, because of the assistance they had offered in the Mediterranean, in July, 1815, to the Royalists of Marseilles, when threatened with reduction by General Verdiere and Marshal Brune, at the head of Buonaparte's troops. The olive presented to Lord Exmouth represents a camp, and that destined for Sir Hudson represents the fort St. Jean. Both of them (beautiful specimens of plate) are raised on three branches, and surmounted with a crown. On one of the olives are the words "The 20th of July, 1815. The town of Marseilles to Lord Exmouth." And on the other a similar inscription to Sir Hudson." have, in a mauner, received it again. In the Rue St. Jean de Beauvais, at the ancient college des Sisreu, a school for boys is formed on the same plan, which does wonders. They learn to read, to write, to count; one master teaches at the same time above three hundred boys, by means of little tutors or monitors chosen among the cleverest of the boys. It is certainly a sight worth seeing, and every one who arrives from the country ought to put in his memorandum book this institution, as one of the sights most worthy his attention. Nothing is more ingenious than the mechanism of this method. There is a full detail of it in a little volume, which is sold at Mr. Colas', bookseller, Rue Bourbon, St. Sulpice. The school for girls is not less curious. Imagine a large room, well aired in the summer, well warmed in the winter, two hundred girls are placed ten upon a form, ranged by the side of each other. There are twenty benches, two of which form a class, and in the classes they learn to sew, gather, hem, draw threads, and to do open work, make button holes, sew on buttons, to cross stitch, kuit, plait, and mark. Where is the husband who is not enchanted that his wife should know how to sew on buttons, to mark, and to stitch his frill? We often lose our linen, and why? because it is not marked ;-by the method of these schools, all the young people know how to mark from an A to an X upon the shirts and cravats. By this means you have no fear of losing any thing, or at least the fear will not be so great, and every thing is in order. As there are monitors for the boys, there are monitresses for the girls. These half-mistresses are taken from the classes. The school-mistress gives a lesson, which the monitresses repeat, and make the others learn, Emulation is established, it is who shall work the quickest and the best. The work is inspected instantaneously. Every girl has an apron which she leaves at the school, and which is left to the care of the schoolmistress. These aprons are placed upon the seat of each girl before the work is distri-weather, it is ascertained that the harvest buted, and they are replaced when the work is done. Every scholar is furnished with a thimble, a needle, thread, and every | thing that is necessary for work. There is a pair of scissars among three girls, these scissars are hung to the table or desk be fore the pupils by a string, long enough that all three can use them. The girls learn to read and write, by the same method of instruction. In three or six months they are able to assist their parents, or, if they are old enough, to enter into the management of the house. In Loudon there are The following is the official account of the harvest:-Of 74 Departments, 46 have had a favourable one, and 27 only a middling crop; in one, the harvest entirely failed. The crops of 20 of those Departments are superior to those of 1814, which were very abundant; those of 21 others, are considered equal to those of last year. Notwithstanding the, uncertainty of the this year is more abundant than that of the last. The consumption of the new grain beginning later in the present year than in any of the ordinary preceding ones, it may be taken for granted that the supply will be sufficient till the harvest of 1817. It is true that some part of the grain has been injured by the wet; but it has not lost its nutritive quality, and with some trifling precautions, which private interest will suggest, and experience point out, the corn which has been injured may be turned to good account." A French journal, observing on the rains which have been very prevalent in most parts of Europe, states it as a fact ascertained by experiment, that though there have been more rainy days this year than common, the total quantity of rain fallen has been less than the ordinary average. This very material distinction be tween the number of days and the violence of the showers will not astonish the observers of nature, who know, that in the hot climate of St. Domingo there falls five or six times as much water as in England In deference to public opinion at Paris, the government has ordered a window in the Louvre to be blocked up, whence, ae. cording to a tradition which the revolutionists greedily seized, Charles IX. showed himself at the massacre of St. Bartholo mew. One of the French papers speaks of a portative boudoir a little chef d'œuvre-an apartment of ten feet square, which may be set up, in a short time, either in a large hall, or barn, an orangery, a wood, upon a terrace, or in a boat. A mule is sufficient to draw the materials of it in a cart. The interior is furnished with curtains, pictures, divans, and tapestry. In winter a chimney may be affixed to it. French settlers in Africa. Paris, Sept. 2.-The latest intelligence from Senegal announces, that not only the boats of the French frigate Meduse had arrived at St. Louis, but that the governor and officers had even saved all their effects. Part of the ship-wrecked mariners had followed along the coast, and arrived without any accident, except M. Kummer the naturalist, and one of the delegates of the Philanthrophic Colonial Society. This traveller, having wandered away from his companions to discover fresh water, found an abundant and limpid spring; but while he was drinking, he was taken prisoner by a party of Traersas-Moors, to whom he called himself an officer of high rank, which made them conduct him to the French fort, mounted on a fine horse.The governor rewarded them handsomely. All the instruments of agriculture sent by the Colonial Society were swallowed up in the waves. This is a heavy less, and will retard all attempts at cultivation for at least a year. The delegates who are in the village of Dacar have already explored the peninsula of Cape Verd, where they hope to form their first establishment. This peninsula is not very fertile, but it has nevertheless all the resources necessary for forming a : colorry it has land capable of being ploughed, salubrious water, a temperate climate, and a good pasturage; it is separated from the rest of the states of Damel, of which it forms part, by defiles, where three or four hundred inhabitants of the peninsula lately arrested the progress of the whole army of Damel, ten thousand men strong. This African Prince seems disposed to cede a territory in which he exercises a most uncertain authority. The delegates of the Colonial Society expect to come to an understanding with the inhabitants. One of them, M. Parsen, has drawn up a report on the subject, and transmitted it to France. French settlers in South America. The French have also formed a colonial establishment at Rio Janeiro, but not with the official sanction of the Government.— This colony is formed of male and female emigrants who were expatriated in conse quence of the late political changes in France. It consists of 400 persons: they have obtained from the Portuguese govern ment three houses, with furniture, and daily rations of fish, flesh, fruits, and Masome negroes as domestics; they receive deira or Port wine. Every planter receives from the State a large portion of ground; but this liberality is of little value, from its being difficult to clear in consequence of the want of instruments. Commemoration of Marie Antoinette. OCT. 17. Yesterday was consecrated to the commemoration of the melancholy an. niversary of that on which the unfortunate Queen Marie Antoinette perished. In the morning the bells of all the parishes were set in motion, and summoned the faithful to the propitiatory ceremonies to take place. All the theatres were shut. A high mass and requiem was performed in the Chapel of the Palace of the Thuilleries: the Royal Family attended.-Madame remained in her apartments, absorbed in pious and sorrowful devotion." In the Metropolitan Church, and in all those of the capital, services were celebrated in the presence of numerous congregations, amidst which were distinguished the first Officers of State, and persons the most eminent for their dignity and functions. All the temples belonging to the different religions were alike open for the expiatory ceremonies. The reading of the Queen's will was every where listened to in the silence of the most profound grief, and with the feeling of admiration due to such a monument of resignation, magnanimity, and clemency.
