From the Itrational lidelligencer we have now racer. tuned that the President has appointed Mr. Gallatin ' and Mr. Bayard, with Mr. Adams, the present Mi nister of the United States at St. Petersburgh, in a joint commission as Envoys Extraordinary and Mi nistets Plenipotentiaries to open a nogociation fur a peace with England at St. Petersburgh, under the mediation of Russia. We are happy to state, that the measures preparatory to their departure are in a great state of forwardness, and that they will proba bly depart in about ten days. In the success of this mission we entertain much confidence. The high character of the Emperor of Russia justifies a belief that he will prcmote an adjustment of all the differ ences between the United States and Great Britain, on fair and just conditions, and such as the United States are willing to accept. A 74, two frigates, and several smaller vessels, belonging to the enemy's bay squadron, anchored off Swan Point, eight or ten miles below the mouth of Palapsaco, and twenty miles from this city, at three o'clock yesterday.

A part of them marched to the fort about sunset ; the remainder are under arms at the time we are writing this article (seven o'clock), waiting the orders of the Commanding General ; should the enemy afford the occasion, we have no doubt but the city and its shipping will be effectually defended, without any injury of consequence; Ikl(r 4 I• OI:SiRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, HAN I'S. it C a (.) 4 1611 h s L c), together or in Lots, (bor- L,) r.;l the Sim•hampton River, and the New Forest); consii6ig of the MANOR of DIBDEN, with beautiful Woods and convenient Farms, containing about titt Acres, well inclosed ; a large Perlivu, and valuable Rights of Common in it e New Fo rest ; together with the ADVOWSON, worth about £4OO a-year.

When At Mogothy River, or a little above, the British were off Annapolis. He passed the Bodkin (mouth of the i'alapsaco) about eight in the evening. When he fast saw the British, they were under sail, so it was uncertain to hint whether they intended to come off Annapolis, or proceed higher up the B.ty. FROM TIIE BOSTON CENTINEL OF APRIL 7.

Every part of the Commonwealth from which we have heard, has done its duty, and must enjoy the most pleasing satisfaalon.

To which I have returned the following reply, verbally: " That Colonel Davie is a gallant man, aad has already taken care of the Ladles." The attack immediately commenced, and conti. The people of Lewistown are in high spirits, the enemy dared not make a landing ; we shouidhave cut every man of them off, we tried to get them ashore and trap them, but they anticipated our put. pose, and kept close in their boats. I wish they would give us an opportunity of riding a few of them up to Wilmington, as the British at Muntre4 treated our Officers. We have some traitors on the opposite shore: it is said, from good authority, that a Major of Militin, and a Piiys►cian of Cape May, have beet repeatedly on board the Ilriiish Commodore. Some inquiry into this appears necessary ; and a little expend;ture of hemp would, perhaps, save us a ton of gunpowder. The Belvii,:ra frigate ran out on ThnrsJay after a sail that appiared in sight. The boys ut Lewistown are become .so accustomed to the enemy's fire, that they amuse themselves with dragging the 32-pound s!►ot out of banks into wl.ich they we►e fired.

It is true the Indians are prowling round the camp, and butcher every straggler they find, but their aggregate force is not half so great as is repre sented in the article we have copied from the Ohio Papers.
