r.yery thing is peace and quietness heie, 'except the French and English newspapers, which still continue their-'! bloodless and abuse each other with so much bitterness, that on reading them one would still thfnk the two countries at war -nof does it seem that the" late peace has healed those animosities of individuals against England, which many, years warfare, and" above all, the, mortifying events preceding the peace had produced! As to the allies generally, particularly' the Russians and Prussians, the French do them the justice, to acknowledge: that they have been better treated by thejn than their own conduct had warranteJ tcfthope no contributions' were levi3 supplies paid for, Paris and Us master pieces of art have remained untouched. The allies (generously) have not-even reclaimed1 what had formerly been plundered from them; the statue of Napoleon on the co lumn at Place Vcndame is the only one and even that was done by the inhabitant: of Paris. In France generally manufacturers trade and confidence reviVe visibly, and. it remains now to be hoped that at Vienna the work of paciBca. tion may happily be finished.

oeveo barges f.rora the Constellation were dis-, patched after the enemy, and gained on them. so fast, they thought proper, to abandon their prize and set heron fire. Our barges kept up the pursuit, but could not overtake the enemy, who on 'gaining Wil-loughby's Point, (where they nearly under, -cover of their ship's: guns) converted one pf their boats into, a flag of truce, which they in-terposed between theni and their pursuers," headmost of 6ur barges then fired a shot byway of challenge-to the enemy to heave to for a but they declined the invitation and pulle for their ships. "iThe flag boat contained all the women and children who had been captured, consisting of a Mrs. Hathaway, of Hampton, her niece and three children and four neeroe women and their The names of the persons detained are as yet only partially known; nor can we state with certainty their number.

It is ascertained however, that Mr. Baker, the skipper of the boat, Hathaway, husband to the lady just mentioned, and. fouf oung gentlemen, to wit, Beverly, and Orris, Brown, of Williamsburg, and John: son and Edward Mallory of this town, are prisoners.
