pear to have adopted the manner and st)le
f.f the requisitions which French Generals
used to levy in foreign countries, liven in
Swedish Pomerania, when friendly, the
French General told the Governor, the
country musi provide, for the Gallic troops
—that it was the French maxim, that where
t e army w*-, it must h; supported.
Private letters from Paris state, how
truly wc know net, that the French have
agreed to a contribution in payment of the
expenses sustained by the Allies during this
war, to be levied in four years. Wc recol- ;
lect that whenJuxoT entered Portugal, he
at ct:ce oppressed tl at people (“fra/i/icit,”
was the word in the M-.niirur) by acqui
sition of one hundred millions of francs, a
bove four millions sterling. It was at the
beginning of July, ISO", that the treaty of
Tilsit was concluded, every species of ex
tortion and rapine was afterwards exercised
on the Prussians f.,r a j ear and a half.—
Their sovereign was subjected to all the in
sult that oppressed greatness could sustain
from vulgar insolence, dilated by almost
unbounded power. On the 29th of Novem
ber, of 1803, the convention cf Berlin was
signed for the evacuation cf the Prussian
States ; but Bonaparte still retained
possession of Stettin, Custrin, and Glogau,
in order to enforce payment of the rontri- .
buttons which he pretended to be due to
him.
Other letters state, anil we think this ex
ceedingly probable, that the proceedings of
the allies have been not a little embarrassed
by the circumstance of the King having so
soon made his appearance in Paris. Less
difficulty, it is said, would have been vx
|/vi iwuvv.u 111 iuu gwvcii miiriii, even
for the King’s ultimate and personal in
terests, if he had remaned at Ghent.

VERMONT ELECTION.
Extract of a loiter from a gentleman of hi'
te/ligence, dated “ Bennington, Sefit. 9.
“ The election in Vermont took place
1 i»t Tuesday. The news received as to its
results, are very promis ng and ex:l:. ating
to a republican. Bennington county stands
in its representation 8 republican to 5 fed
eral. In this county Gov. Galusha’s gain
from last y ar is 74 votes. Rutland county
is comparatively 10 more republicans in
the house of assembly—there being a change
of five m rubers. The represensation in
this county stands 20 republican to 6 fed
ral. Increase for Gev. Galusha is, in this
County, from S to 400 votes. Addison coun
ty. the representation remains as last year.
The republican state ti ket lias an increase
of from 200 to 300 votes in this county._
*1 his account is d pended upon here as
nearly accurate. It will not, I am persua
d d, be found an exaggeration. Accounts
from oilier counties come to us with less
certainty, but fill announce a republican
gain—and we have great reason to believe
the state will be republican in all its branch
es
“ P. S. 'The east rn mail has come in and
brings an account of .a republican gain i.i the
county of Windham.”
\\ c have, in adiii ion to the above, ac
c unts from most of the residue of the towns
on the west side of the mountains. The
Burlington Centinel, of Friday, contains
returns from 35 towns, of which but three
in Addison are referred to in the above let
ter, and which give a republican net gain of
503. There is a republican net gain in the
west hr* 1 f of the state of more th in 1000 ;
anil we are warranted in saying, that no
do.ibt remains of the election of a" republi
can governor and council, by a handsome
majority. We sincerely felicitate the re

\\ ASH1N6TON, Sept. 1 6.—The gener
al election in Vermont, of the Executive
and Legislative members of its govern
ment, took place on the 5th inst. So Li
as returns have reached us, they exhibit
a decided change in public, opinion, and
give us confith nt hopes of the ejection of
the party which has for two years mis
ruled that patriotic state. A gentleman
of Burlington, writes to his friend in .this
city, Sept. 7: “ from the returns receiv
ed here, 1 feel warranted in assuring y u.
that the republican ticket for Governor,
Lieut. Governor, and Councillors lias .suc
ceeded bv a majority of one thousand ; and
I would not be surprised if it should prove
to be considerably more.—The assembly
Cannot yet be determined, bat I have no
doubt myself that we have changed every
branch. In this town the net republican
gain since last year is 76, and in the county
it will exceed 200.”
The county alluded to above in which
thr opposition sufl'etVd so signally, is ttie
residence of the federal Governor, and pre
sent tan lidate, Mr. Chittenden.
A at. Int.
Liner tV preceding notice was prepared,
we have received from Vermont still more
flattering accounts. In di towns the net
republican gain is 503.
fn every section of the country the clouds
of opposition arc dispersing and our politi
cal hori/.on is becoming brighter. In Ma

of the Twelfth and 7'hii\'tenth t.f Stfitcni
her, eighteen ht attired and fourteen.
In the short space ut three month*,
twice have the citizens of UaLtimorc exhib
ited, by unequivocal proofs, their zeal in
tlv* cause of the Republic—On the 4th of
July, by a grand procession to lay the
foundation of a Colossal Column to perpe
tuate the vivun s of Washington—On
Tuesday last, they «gn>n moved m solemn
order, to coo.incoct a Pasc al Pillar to the
memory of their follow citizens, who shed
their blood and died in defence of their
country, on the 12th and 13th of Septem
ber last.
The cx essive heat of the day (nv rc so
than on the 4th of July) prevent' d mam
citizens from joining tin- procession, which
was umivuuUy long and fatiguing—but the
crowds who througed the streets and filled
all the windows, and whose wishes and
prayers accord mI with the laudable mo
tives of those who din appear in the
ranks, demonstrated their spirit and zeal
in the holy cause of prtriotic gratitude.
Under a despotic or military govern
ment, there might, perhaps, have been an
exhibition of greater parade and decora
tion—This was a Republican assemblage,
where the mind follows its own bias ; but
where all have a voluntary, unbought, un
forced approbation of the " intention of this
truly patriotic ceremony.
As a circumstantial detail of Tuesday’s
proceedings will be published, we shall be
brief in our remarks.
In these wonderful t;in s, when every
month, and every week, and almost every
day have presented something new 2c sur
prising in the revolutions of kingdoms and
empires in the eastern hemisphere, we
could not help contrasting the scene of last
Tuesday, with the gloomy and threatening
aspect of last September—Then, the ene
my, with his veteran legions and hostile
fleets, thundered at our gates, and darken
ed the air with his destroying balls, and
bombs, and rockets ’—.Yoiv, all was pious
thankfulness and grateful recoil ctions of
patriotic deeds and nroviHm-it-lnl #1..?
ance !
Again we adopt the emphatic language
of th- New-England Orator, whose splen
did talents and tried integrity, cast a veil
over, and almost obliterate the political
sins of his countvrnien. It was, indeed, a
glorious sight, to behold the citizens of Bal
timore, in slow and solemn procession, in
the act of perpetuating the memory of their
fellow citizens who gloriously fell in defence
of their insulted, their injured country,—
“ They fell, but it was to rise, on wings
of immortal fame, to realms of eternal
bliss !”
in fine. Let us fervently pray, that this
solemn act of grateful devotion, may en
courage a Nationai. Spirit. Let us ab
jure foreign partialities and attachments,
and cherish a Love oi Country—Then
may wc hope, “ that HE who has bared
bis arm in our defence, will still hold our
Stars in his right hand, and walk in the
midst of our golden candlesti ks.”

THE RANK OF THE AMERICANS ABROAD !
Extract of a letter from a gentleman a
broad, to his friend in this country, dat
ed July 17,1815.
“ The importance of the United States
in the general scale of civilized nations in
creases in the estimation of all Europe,
quite as rapid as in reality_Their naval
exploits throughout the last war have made
an imp] ession profound and universal
in every part of Eui ope. The issue of the
last campaign, bv land, both in the north
and south, has still deepened and confirmed
the impression.
“ Among the advantages of the war, I
wish to believe will be that of having dis
closed to the observation of the wise and
virtuous men in our public councils, who
can rise above the smoke and vapour of
party spirit, the strength or weakness of
our public institutions. 1 hope that the
w r lias removed a strong and pernicious
prejudice against the Navy—that it has
proved how powerful a weapon it is, not
only for the protection of our commerce
and the annoyance of an European enemy,
but for the defence of our territory. That
it has inspired us not only with due confi
dence in our own capacity and strength up
on the ocean, but with the full conviction
that a development of that strengh pro
portioned to that of our national erowtli is
among our moot important interests and
duties. That it has shewn us the princi
pal defects of our military establishments
and pointed us to remedies. That it has
indicated the insufficiency of our system for
the management of our finances, and point
ed out to ns the resources upon which in
times of emergency the stro .gest reliance
may be plated. That it has weaned the

INDIANS.
Pittsburg, Sept. 2.—By the arri
val of a gentleman in tins place direct
trom Detroit, have intelligence from
that place to the 20th ultimo. The
expedition to Ghicogo and Grcct.bush has
been postponed bv general Brown until
the next season. i he Indian treaty wool i
commence about the 25th. The various
tribes were collecting at Detroit and its \i
cinity, and no doubt was entertained but
th.v. every thing would be amicably adjust
ed. Governor Cass enjoys the confidence
of the people of the territory, and h s m *n
agement of the Indian dcpaitmentis such
as to do justice to the government, and a
the same time inspire the hostile tribes with
a high sense of our generosity and magna
nijnity. Cutler his direction, the alFurs of
the territory have assumed a pleasing as
pect ; trade and business arc rapidly revi
ving ; and conf-d nee reposed, once more,
in the public functionaries.
Buffalo, -/1ug. 29.—By late arrivals at
this place from Detroit we learn, that
Messrs. Harrison, M’Arthur and Graham,
the commissioners appointed to treat with
the Indians, hatl arrived at that place, and
woul 1 probably soon proceed to Browns
town, as the council is proposed to be held
there on the 30tli ins'. The day on which
it was originally intended to be held was
the COdi. hut on account of the small num
ber of Indians who had come in, it was de
ferred until the 30'b. The Indians, since
the arrival of the 6th regiment, had mani
fested a degree of shyness mors indicative
of fear than friendship. A gentleman of
veracity and intelligence informs us, that
when that regiment arrived at Detroit,
there were probably mure than 3000 In
dians iti the immediate vicinity of that
place, distinct fr^m thr great numbers who
were at Malden, and along on the river be
tween the two places. They had been ve
ry insolent and troublesome, soil exoied 1
much uneasiness among the inhab tants. Hut
as soon as our tr" ps arriv* d, they began t
leave our sal-* in great numbers—,500 went
offin one day. The numbers and apparent
hostility of the Indians which were collect
ed around D»tr' it, gave every reason to
believe that they designed attacking that
place, as the garrison previous to the arri
val of the last troops, w;s very inefficient.
A Rritish officer at Malden, told our in
formant that the Indians had matured a
plan to surprize and capture one of mu
boats loaded with troops, when passing up
the river, and that they were diverted from
putting their project into execution by a
mere accident. AH the accounts confirm
the belief that the intentions of the Indians
have hern directly hostile : whether the ap
pearance of our force will inspire tluir.
with different sentiments, is uncertain—
Whatever may be the event, we hope our
government will send troops enough to that
quarter, in season to be prepared for it.
FROM DETROIT.
Albany. September 12.—A letter from
Detroit of August 19, states, that the Indi
ans were collecting in considerable num
bers to attni ! the Commissioners appoint
ed bv onr Government to treat with them,
and it wassnpposed there would not be a
less number assembled than from 5 to 10,
000, m'■*>!, women, and rhil ner—The I>i
d ans who were then there appeared to b
much humbled, and were much disappoin
ted in the termination of the w:ir, h,n ,!g
been led to believe by their allies, that
they should repossess lhe country between
thestate of Ohio and the greit lakes, II -
ving abandoned the cultivation of corn and
their hunting, they were in a distressed sit
uation at the close of the war, for want of
subsistence ; and the British at Malden now
issue to them 2000 rations • daily—rations
are also issued to about 500 friendly Indians
at Detroit.
His Excellency Governor Tompkins ar
rived from New-York oo Tuesday, and
has pri cee lrd to Buffalo, with the inten
tion; the Gazette informs us, of attending
a council for the conclusion of a treaty with
tiie Indians.
On Saturday, Mnji r General Macomb
arrived here with his family and suite, on
his way to Detroit, to the command of which
district wc understand the General has
been assigned. ]
Extract of a let ter from a gentleman, of th*
highest res/iectahility on our northern
frontier dated
Madrid, jluguat 1.—As to news, we !
have not much—we have been informed i
«»t a large convention of Indian chiefs at i
Kingston. The British, I understand,
have agreed to furnish them with all the s
munitions of war they may stand in need i
of ; and great quantities are now daily '
passing up the river,said to be for their

settle affairs with the commissioners; others 1
are soon expeer.ted. They s*iy that the 1
Winnebagoes will arrive alxiut the 25th in- t

miking rapid progress. ’There are at
present upwards -f >t e hundred families
settled there. The village is to be ab-uit
dO miles from the mouth f f the rive-, on
