This took- place at noon, and scarcely had the troops dis persed the refractory mob. when a fire broke out in i the Faubourg St. Antoine ; and whilst the authorities were occu pied in aiding to extinguish the flames, arid to maintain order,, the Students mustered on the Place St. Genevieve, provided wilh stones, and declared loudly that they had a defeat to re venge. The Commissary of Polic, with five infantry soldiers, was all the force here opposed to them, at whom several 'stones were thrown; these men loaded their muskets, and seem ed resolved to"oppose force by force; i nappiiy however, tney restrained tne vengeance which had been provoked, Until a tnfop of gendermerie came to their assistance, and put the infatua ted youths and the attendant rabble again to flight. Up to ten on Monday night, no farther tumult had taken place; the refractory being awed by their repeated discomfiture, and the strong patroles which were on foot.

On the 12th, the Commandant General of Cadiz communicated to the Consulate : the coptents of a private letter, received from a Lieut.

From the National Intelligencer The decision of the Emperor of Rus-: sia, which appears below, is decidedly favorable to the side of the U. States, in the controversy with, the British government on the subject of the slaves deported from the United Sta es, at the close of the late war. Jt is such as might be expected from a justly dis posed and disinterested arbiter. The class of cases embracedjby the third paragraph cannot be larger though theremaybe cases which are embraced by it such; for example, as 'that of Blaves which deserted,, to the British force under Nicholls, in Florida, and were carried otF. The whole-amount which under this decision of the Em peror, will become payable to citizens of the United States, cannot fall far shftrt of two millions of dollars. Con siderable time will necessarily elapse, we-should suppose, before the claims can be liquidated, as they will have to be separately and judicially examined. r - DErARTMENT OF STATE, J y Wasfiingtoa, 15 1 A yuly'i 1822. The following is a copy and trans lation of the decision of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Rus sians. upon the question submitted to him by the Governments of the United States and of Great Britain, by virtue of the Convention of the 20th of Octoi ber, 1S1B, of the true intent and mean ing; of-that parf of the first article of the Treaty of Ghent, by which it was j stipulated that " all: territories" nla-i! ces, and possession iwhatsoever, ta- ken by itheFiisrrtethether uuriuz me war or.vwmwi iis,Jt KeAraiier ty,xcept after! menlio wjthriut flelky, ; and - wjthou t;, causing any dest rh ct ionj'or! ca rty i ng a fva y an y otthe tiIleryrorf wtheri pubric- pro perty biiginallv captured in said forts or places t, which sho u I d reroai n . there in upon the.exchange of the ratifica tionsof the said Treaty, orariy Slave,' or other Private Property. 5 f fHAystATioy.

Bt. if Jthere should i be" any American slaves who were carried away from territories of whei"t&e 1st article ohVTreaty of Ghent has not stipulated the restitution to the United States, the States are not to claim an indemnification for the said slaves." It wiil -be observed that this is mere ly the decision of his Imperial Majesty upon;the question submitted toj him, With regard to the measures, and ! arrangements between the parties to the submission, for carrying it into ex ecution, notice of them will be given, f- tUe information of all persons in terested therein, as soon as they shall be. known. i We have been requested to publish the fol- . lowing : 1 TO THE FniJfTEB OF THE EDKWTOIT GiXETTE. Sir :The rapid growth of the ju risdiction of our Justices of ther Peace, out of Court, in civil causes,"! within thfe last few years, ought to cause a f seriouf enquiry into the extent of their auinomy, as wen as into ino tenden cy of the summary mode of trial, prac tised in their Courtsl And if Lhe sta tutory power of these magistrates transcends the limits of the Constitu- jtion, or tends to destroy the ancient common law trial by jury, it should be recalled, arid-, their inferior tribunals regulated, with a loe regard , to the convenience, as well as the constitu tional rights of the peoplet ! , In England, whence our forefathers ; emigrated, Justices of he. Peace have ibeen known, as an order of Magis trates since the time of; Edward III: and as conservators of the peace, have proved themselves to be necessary and useful officers. But the idea of cloth ing them with powers, similar tq a Judj;eof the civil lawand introducing I them, as execufivelofficers, into the administration of justice, by investing tliem witli power and authority, to hear and determine, in a summary manner, without the aid of a jury, ca ises of a civil nature, between subject and sub ject, first originated in this country : aim wnne mere was any regaru among the people, for the ancient laws and institutions of their ancestors, and while they werevcarefid to watch with a jealous eye, their rights and liber ties, this new and extraordinary pow er of the; Justices was confined within very narrow limits. Since the period of our revolution, however, the civil jurisdiction .of. the Justices ef the Peace, out of Court, has been increas ed fo an alarming extent, so much so, that the Assembly seems determined t destroy the , common-law trial by Jury. t will soon swallow up . the bu siness of the public Courts' of Record. unless oor Judges are firm and inde pendent enough, to maintain the conr stitutional rights of the people, against the encroachments of "the Legislature. It is believed, that the trial by Jury, as it was known and practised, at the period of otir revolution, is secured by the Constitutjon, as a part of the rights and liberties of the people. ! And that the act of Assembly, passed: in the year 1 77?j investing the Justices of the Peace out oTcourt," with power and authorityCo hear and determine in a; summary manner, all causes of a civil natureJietween citizen and -citizeny to the amount of five poundsr has dis- pensea wun tne inai ny Jury, to the very verge of the constitutional limits. In that country from which our an cestors removed, the trial by. jury, in all xontrovVrsies at ; law among the people, hadbeen known and practised from .the earliest period of time. It was expressly enumerated in Magna Charta, as a par.t of their rightsand li berties and has often been recognised as such, by many of their ancient Kings. Among other: public rights contended for at, and secured by our foi efathersrby their revolution in 1688, was the right of trial by lury.- By that memorable struggle, their, rights and liberties were so certainly ascertained' and so - firmly established, that no power, no influence of their Kingsj. has been .sufficient to destroy them.- The first sett I ers of this State, brought with) them all the rights of native born En- berse6titidn$. of the hurchin quesf ox that oineiiitid tioriwhich had, withstood the shockf so many revolutions: u in VrTthe; ad mihistratio Justice, they found themselves without thoW n limerou s i t ferior Cou rts, which jn the mbtlier'boiiri.t little trifling disputes, and cprttrover. jsies among the people, and saved the 'time of the public Courts of .Record, . j. theseT Ci.urts her was soon 13L' i .

The public' Courts of recot-d be catnexrowded .with trifling suits, by which the parties often er sought to jgrjitily their pasiions, than t6; obtain redress for any real ;-Jbjury;.y Delay iinthe adininistration:of justice, and ' expense in the prosecution .of a suit, soon taught our fathers the necessity joi some ( ennne m turn jnaus. , i.

For they must have seen, that in de parting from the trial by Jury,tRe ! suitors at the Justices !

"v.. Under no . ad ministration of the Proprietary, fit Rtjtyal governments in this state, there fore, was the civil jurisdiction of the Justices of lhe Peace, .out of Court, extended bevond the sum limited by the act of 1 761 . ' ' ,: . ' " ;;;fgp' 1 ' . ' ; ; In framing a government, at the time of! onr revolution, the patriots, who framed the Constitution, thought ne cesiry to attach to it, a declaration oflthbse rights, which they wished to secure to themselves and their poste ritlv. And among other rights secor ed. by that; instrument; is the right of trial by Jury. The, 12th and Jl4th sections of our Bill of Rights, were in serted for that purpose. , The 12th section is intliese words That ho freeman ought to be taken, imprison ed, or disseised of his liberties or pri vileges, or outlawed, or exifedbr in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his life, liberty or property, but by the iaw or tne land, ana is taKen,. wun some little alteration, from the cele brated MagnagrCharta of our forefa thers, on -the same subject; and was designed by them, for the same pur pose, for which it was used by us. The words of the ' original, which are omitted jo our-copy,Aare abundatitry supplied by the insertion of thev14th section, which reserves to the people " their ancient mode of trial by jury," injmanner more explicit, certain and definite, than could have been done by their retention. It is in these emphatical words, " that in all controversies at law, res pejeting property, tlie ancient mode of trial by Jury, is one of the best secu rities of the Rights of the People, and ought to remain sacred and inviola bUf9 Could the right of trial by Jury be, reserved by the people, at the re volution, in plainer, more definite and certain language ?- If the Assembly cap trample upon our rights, when written in language, which he who runs may read it is vain for us to per- suaue ourselves, that ourfcV fathers, by thirefnirts at otjr jglbrionsVevolution, secured p themrves; and .theif tbs I terity, the benet)ts And blessings of Ii bet.i. l'or whejQ are ten together, and tlieir meaning ; and intention considered; ; in connec j tion with the history of the times, and reiye;i diftereqee of .ihemUiltJa wdlknown i nut thevbenod of Kp f.i tirunon, ne nuh i ,r.vv Pfe;ofal cntlv;2H Justice accordinto the cJort rCrPi common iav That th .
