Private letters from Gallact, which require confirma tion, say that, there has been a battle near Bazardjik, between the Russian vanguard And a Turkish corps of the army of Hussein Pacha, in which the first were de feated. It is added, that in this battle, in which the Russians attempted to force the position of Bazardjik, the Turks displayed extraordinary courage and perse verance, and baffled the efforts of the Russian coluans, l which were superior to them; and that having received reinforcements from Schumla, they were enabled to act offensively, and killed and wounded great numbers of the Russians. It is singular that the Russian bulletins, which are drawn up with so much correctness and re gard to truth, have not said any thing that can confirm the least part of this news; and we know by the latest and direct accounts from Karasu, dated the 6th, that the centre of the army was going to march against Schumla. We must, therefore, wait for official comma nications before we give credit to the numerous reports which are circulated. The Plague, which sweated to be abating • has is. creased again with the extreme beat, and the authorities have been obliged to adopt the most rigorous measures.

TIM UNITED SIAM Of ANZIJCA AND TUE Balling WIST DIDLA cowries, NO. 3.--EARL Or DODLET TO ALBERT GALLATIN, U. • 'Foreign. Mee. October 1, 18t7. The andersigued, &c. has the honour of acknow ledging the two Official Notes of the 4th of last June, and the 17th of last August, addressed to him by Mr. Gall /retie the subject of the intercourse between the United States aad the Colonial possessions of Great &judo. The Note of the 4th of June, although it closed with a profession of the acquiescence of the American Go vernment in the decision of Great Britain, that the in tercourse in question should be regulated by mutual laws rather than by treaty, was yet directed chiefly to an explanation of certain circumstances in the conduct of the United States, and did not appear to tbe:uoder signed to call for any reply on his part. In the succceding Note, however, of thel7th of Aug. the statements and reasonings of the former are fol lowed out by Mr. Gallatin into a definite proposition, undoubtedly requiring from the British Gove:nment a direct answer. In this Note it is stared that thePreii. dent of the United State s i s w illi ng to recommend to Congress The adoption of certain measures, tending to re:az the restrictions imposed by the American Legis lature itv the intercourse of the United States with the Britisb Colonies through the medium cf Britislp ships ; which measures,gr. Gallatin shortly specifics ; and i t is asked whether, if Congre.s . should, during its next Session, pass a law to the effect," the Order in Council of the 27th July, 1826, will be revoked, the discrimi nating duties on American vessels in the British Colo nies be abolished, and these vessels be allowed to enjoy the privileges of trade and intercourse with those Colo nic., according to the Act of. Parliament of the sth July, 1825 ?" It is at the same time observed by Mr. Gallatin, that tie Government of the United States would have had no doubt, that on the enactment of such a law by Con gress, the interdict laid on American shipping, under the Act of Parliament of 1825, would be removed as a matter of coarse, bad not Mr. Canning, in his letter to Mr. Gallatin of the 11 thSeptember, 1826, declared, that after having been compelled to apply the interdict to any country, the British Government cannot hold itself bound to .remove that interdict as a matter of course, whenever it may happen to suit the convenience of the foreign Government to re-consider the measures. by which the application of that interdict was occasioned. Mr. Gallatin truly adds, that an Act of Parliament was afterwards passed, .containing -provisions corre sponding with the declaration so made by Mr. Canning. Thetwidersigned takes pleasure in recognizing, in bothAtlet letters of Mr. G allatin, and especially in the inquiry which claws the second if them, the same spi rit of good will add conciliation, which, in the midst of discussions involving ea :marl difference of opinion, has characterized Mr. Gallatin's correspondence with the British Government. The undersigned hopes it is un necessary to observe that his Majesty's Government is influenced by the same sentiments, and that although he thinks himself bound to offer some observations on topics of debateand conflicting interest, be presents them with no feelings but such as ought to pervade 'discussions between two nations, allied in origin, and be trusts he may add, allied also in desire to improve and strengthen the relations of ancient kindred by mu tual offices diastases' and amity. Connecting together the two notes of Mr. Gallatin, the topics which they suggest for present consideration seem to be three. First, it may be expedient to observe on the declara tion which Mr. Gallatin has quoted from Mr. Cloning, and which-appears to be segardsid .br the Government of. the United States as a division from what might hese been anticipated as the natural course of pro ceeding. Secondly, some comment may be offered on the ex planation into which Mr. Gallatih z has entered, of the conduct of the Government snd.the J.egislatuse' of the: United States, in Wiling to ;he. intercourse with the British Colonies, under the operation of the Act of Parliament of July, 11125. • And this course of observation will naturally intro duce into view, in the third place, the proposition which forms the more immediate subject of the note of the .17th of August. 1. With regard, to the declaration of Mr. Canning, the undersigned thinks it not unimportant to remark, that the sehtiment, which in that declaration Mr. Can ning so pointedly expresses, is, in fact, exactly consis tent with the general principles always professed by the British Government on the subject of colonial inter course, which principles are expounded in the argument of Mr. Canning. The leading position contended for by Mr. Canning is this, that the exclusion of foreigners from a direct intercourse with the British colonies, is altogether agree able to the received and ordinary doctrines of the colo nial policy of modern times. The established usage of nations possessing colonies interdicts that intercourse to all.but their own subjects. If such interdict be in any case relaxed, the case is one of exception, and if, having once been relaxed, it is re enforced, this is but a restoration of the received rule. Tbe necessary consequence is, that in any instance, not governed.by special regulation, it would be the conti nuance, and not the suspension of the interdict, that would alone be contemplated as a Witter of course. In re-asserting these principles, and immediately con necting them with the declaration cited from Mr. Can ning, it is by no means, the object of the undersigned to revive a discussion which is already exhausted. He is desirous only of showing that the reservation which Mr. Canning for his Government makes, of a discre tionary continuance of the interdict in question, in every case in which it has • been once imposed, is in entire harmony with the general maxims of colonial policy, and consequently that the application of the rule, in any given instance, ought not to be regarded as a pro ceeding of a singular, and still less of an unfriendly, character. • • 2. In this connection, however, the question may seem to arise, whether the, proceedings of the United Suites were such as fairly to incur the application of the interdict in the first instance? The question is, in fact, involved in the explanations, into which Mr. Gal latin has at some length entered, respecting the con duct of the United States during the Utile that elapsed between the passing of the Act of Parliament of July, 1825, and the issuing of the Order in Council of July, 1826. To those explanations the undersigned will next briar advert.' The effect of. Mr. Gallatin's argument may perhaps be thus exhibited. Admitting that, after the British .Statute of Jll7, 1825, was passed, the United States ought to have done certain acts to bring themselves within the benefit of that Statute, yet the omission by the United States to do those acts was not (as she risish Government sup posed, when it issued the Ord* in Council of 1826), an advised and deliberate proceeding, but was the result of an erron-ous impression respecting the views and in tendons ache British Government; and hence there may appear some ground-for a revision of the British Order in Council, that measure having, in truth, been resorted to under the influence of a reciprocal mistake. •In commenting on this argument, it is not necelsary to inquire whether, on the supposition that the error or inadvertence of the United States had been occasioned lay some default on the part of the British Government, that Government would have been under an equitable obligation to reconsider the steps it bad taken, in igno rance of such error or inadvertence. There is, in fact, no room fit any such supposition. Deeply as Great Britain must regret the misappre hensions, whatever they might he, under which the United States acted, she cannot in justice charge herself with having occasioned them. She cannot but think that a fair opportunity was afforded to the American Government and people to avail themselves, if they thought fit, of the provisions of the Act of July, 1825, and the term ot that option having expired, she cannot conceive herselt called upon to retract, as a matter of course, the measures which, under the actual circum stances in which she foural herself placed, she was led to adopt, on a matter so peculiarlz within her exclusive contrcul as the trade of her own Colonies. It may be proper, however, to examine this object a little more particularly. From the statement of Mr. Gallatin, it appears that the omission of the United States to comply with the conditions prescribed by the Act of July 1825, is resolvable into two causes: First, neither the Government nor the Congress rightly un derstood those conditions, the interpretation of which, indeed, is represented to be matter of much difficulty: secondly, the Government ; and probably the. ongress also, entertained an opinion, that Great Britain did net mean, to affect the United States by the Act of July 1825, but intended to arrange the intercourse of that country with the British Colonies by negotiation. Mr. Gallatin is also at pains, on t :is part of the sub ject, to explain the proceedings in the American House of Representatives, respecting the Bill for the repeal of ' the discriminating duties on goods imported in British vessels from the British colonies. The Bill, he observes, was not, as Mr. Canning had supposed, rejected ; it was, by a majority of two votes, ordered to lie on the table, which would not have the effect of preventing the House from proceeding with it on any future day; though, either on account of the lateness of the Session, or what is more probable, from reliance on the succes tul issue of negotiations, the consideration of it was not, in fact, resumed. To begin with the point last mentioned. Mr. Gallatin, on the nature and effect of the proceedings in the House of Representatives, is, of course, an authority, beyond exception. Even op that authority, however; it appears that the Bill in question was dropped delibe rately; for it was disposed of after a keen contest, and was never revived ; a mode of treating it, which, judging from analogous proceedings in the Legislative Assem blies of this country, can hardly be 'regarded otherwise than as an effectual, though an indirect, rejection. But whatever construction may be put on the fate of that abortive measure, this, at least, may be asserted, that the Copra', having during a whole Session bad the subject under consideration, designedly omitted to legislate in reference to the British Act of July, 1825. The teasoas assigned for that omission are next to be .considered. Mr. Gallatin very clearly states, that the conditions on which it was intended, by the Act of July, 1825, to open the Colonial trade to American ♦essels, were not , disiactlY uuderstood the Uaited States ; but wbat was the precise nature of the difficulty experienced in construing those conditions, the undersigned has not been able to collect. For, with regard to the specific doubts which Mr. Gallatin mentions as attaching to the meaning of the Act, these he seems to state, ratheras suggesting themselves to his own mind, on a ♦iew of the provisions of the Act, than as the recorded grounds of the perplexity felt by the American Government or Legislature. A full exposition of those doubts V 7114, in fact, given by Mr. Gallatin, in his note to Mr. Canning of the 28th December, 1826, and that exposition is, by reference, embodied in the note now under consideration, of the 4th June, in which last note Mr. Gallatin observes, that no explanation in respect to those doubts has ever been given by his Majesty's Government. The portion of the Act to which the remarks of Mr. Gallatin apply, is the condition on which the intercourse with the British Colonies is opened to other countries possessing colonies of their own—namely, that they shall place the commerce and navigation of this coun try, and of its pssessions abroad, upon the footing of the most favoured nation. Without meaning to admit or to deny the justice of Mr. Gallasi s's criticism on that clause, the undersigned bears a willing tribute to its force and ability; but the question, after all, is, whether the clause referred to, threw such a practical difficulty in the way of A raericaq Legislation on the subject, as to account for the OW inaction of the Congreis of the. United States? And to this question the last note of Mr. Gallatin (that is the no'e of the 17th August,) presents a conclusive. answer. It there appears that, notwithstanding those un explained.doubts, the American Government has,fuund no difficulty in tendering to the. British Government the passing of certain speci fi c enactments by Congress as the condition contemplated by the Act of July, 1252.5, that is, as the very condition which appeared so ince plicable. Not only so, but it is observed in that note (as has already been mentioned), that had it not been f.ir Mr. Canning's decimation to the contrary effect, rr the Go vernment of the United States would have had no doubt that, upon the passage of any ACt of Congress of that tenour, the interdict laid on American shipping under the Act of Parliament of 1825 would be removed as a matter of course." It is unnecessary to remark, 18at the conditions on which, under. iltat Act of Parliament, the interdict on. American shipping would be revocable, are the veil conditioos on which . the Acts makes foreign shipping admissible to the ifritith col, Pies; the passage, consequently, jirst cited by Mr. Gallatin, shows, that whatever doubts might attach to those conditions, on the principles of severe construction,' they seemed to the Government of the United States so perfectly clear Ear all practical purposes as to be susceptible only of one interpretation. . Even admitting, however, up to any required extent; the difficulty of construing the Act, still it.seems not so easy to account fir the iaaction of the American Le gislature, and still less fa that of the American Go vernment. The Legislature might be unable to deter mine what was precisely meant by the condition• of placing the shipping of Great Britain and her posses sions abroad on the footing of the most favoured nations, but there could be no doubt that the condition, in any construction of it, could never be fulfilled, so long as the discriminating duties remained unrepealed ; that the abolition of 'hose duties was, therefore, an essential term in the condition; ,and that this term could be supplied only by an ,Act of Congress. If, howeier, the Legisla ture could not thus proceed, at least the Government, L i which must havelelt with it, had an effectual remedy for every difficulty—that of reference to Great Britain for explanation; and the undersigned is really at a loss to' conceive why the whole Session of 1825-26 was suffered to pass away, without any resort to anexpedient so obvious and decisive. Besides, however, the alleged ambiguity of the British enactment, there was a concurrent cause which pre vented the Government and Legislature of the United States from taking any steps relating to it. They were satisfied that the British Government either considered the United States as exempt, or meant to take special 'means of exempting tbem, from the operations ki the enactment; and that the commercial relations between the United States and the British colonies were, after all, to be arranged by treaty, and not by reciprocal laws. The groundkon which this persuasion was entertained are very fully set forth and discuised in the correspon dence between Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Corning, and the subject appears so nearly exhausted, that the under. signed sees no occasir n for.entering into it at large. , ft is indeed self evident, that the Government of the .United States set nut with a very mistaken optr.ion • f the views of Great Britain, respecting her colonies, and, more especially, respectipg the .impart.ince of those colonies of a direct intercourse with the ports of the United States. This at least Wall the only principle which would account for what is otherwise difficult of explanation, namely, that from the very few, and at the best, eloubrful indications alluded to in the correspon dence, the Government of the United States should not only have inferred intentions on the pate of the British,Ministry, which prima f a ci e at l east , were i n direct ci3u trariety to an elaborate Act of Parliament recent4.ln. traduced by that very Mi n i str y ; b ut should dive deduced such inference so confijently, as to act Upoit it for months together implicitly, a l t h oug h durikg'ill that' period it received no support or confirmation -of any kind from the British Government, and alth6o . lo it was' more than once, in official cemmunicatioti' with the American Government, strongly discountenanced the British-Minister at Washington. Tnc supposition entertained - by the United States istoos sled of two alternative members, thellrstef i lihTch was, that the British GoVernment did'por . rdein so to construe the Act cf July, 1825, as to: minehend die , United States within it at all. That isusgswenactment professedly regulating the intercourse- of the British Colonies with all foreign countrieg!tlie - description a countries not having colonial isosses t ltnits,"'elid tut in clude the United States, although it is. admitted that ao other expression in the Act can possibly apply to the . United States; although this very negotiation int tts , the pre-eminent interest 'of the United States in the sub jecc of the enactment; and, although Mr. G4ll.itin him self observes, that, " with the exception of some of the.. German States, the terms (of the enactment) apply to no other Maritime Power." • But if the Act could net be so constsited, then it was : : l ' believed that the British Government must be intending;. to exclude the United States from the sphere of it, by speetal Order in Council.
