It is supposed that his Majesty has gone to the Banks of the Dwina, where a great proportion of the Grand Army is at present collected.—(Ga woe de France, July 31). According to private advices from the army, his Impetial Majesty, who set out from Wilna on the 17th, arrived at Ghonbokoe on the 18th..

N. CAL vintr, IN TILE HOUSE OF COMMONS, ON, FItIDAI, JUNE 26. " The English were the first to violate their pa role. Complaints were made to the Transport Office, but the Officers who had broken their parole were, nevertheless, well received by their Govew. meat. gg The number of persons then placed under the circumstances alluded to, amounted to 779, end se veral of these were Generals. 4 4 The Transport Office had complained, in a letter of the 12th of August, 1811, of the escape of some French Prisoners. In the answer to this, given the 14► h of Sept. following, under the authority of the Minister of the Marine, it was asserted, that the Eng lish had set the example, and that the number of English prisoners who had escaped from France, ex ceeded.by many hundreds that of the French who had escaped from England. “ Jr was also proposed that measures should be adopted to prevent the recurrence of such stands loos conduct. " The Commissaries of the Transport-Office ac. knowledged the receipt of this answer, but remained perfectly silent as to the propositions which it con tained. " Several French Generals who have made their escape from England were justified in doing so, in asmuch as one of the terms of capitulation at Bay. ten was, that they should retain their arms, and be sent to France; and England had no right to retain six thousand men, who, having thus capitulated, were not prisoners. No parole could properly be ci acted from them, as the capitulation conferred no right to debar them of, their liberty ; and there is no example on record of such a convention not having been observed. " A considerable number of Spanish prisoners, among whom were Colonels and Generals, having broken their parole, and escaped, some French offi cers, taken in the Spanish war, conceived they had a right to do that which had been done by the Spa niards, who were the principals in a war in which england was only an auxiliary. l • In former wars, cartels were established as soon as hostilities cBrnmenced ; and it was not till the pre sent war that' false masoning, narrow-mindedness, and bad faith, were found to anull every cartel which had been/proposed. " The hash of those that were proposed were simple, just, and conformable to the customs of Europe. 64 The exchange Was to be made man , for man, rank for rank, and simultaneous:y, between the belli greats. But the English sought to establish a prin ciple of distinction between themselves and their al lies, the Spaniards and Portuguese. They appeared, indeed, to adopt the principles of a general and si- multaneous exchange; but they endeavoured to swerve from its practice. 44 Thus there was at one time 15.000 English pri soners in France. For these England offered in ex change 15,000 French prisoners; so that if she after. wards chose to swerve from the cartel, when all the English were liberated, she might leave her allies in France, and retain the French priwners who remain ed to be exchanged. 'sThc trick was too obvious, and it was proposed to carry the exchange into effect, by making each transfer consist of aliquot parts of the different de scriptions of prisoners of the two belligerent—aggre-' gates, so that all the English and all the French should be liberated at the same time ; for supposing the number of French prisoners to be triple that of the English, and making each transfer consist of three thousand French on the one side, and 1000 English and '2OOO Portuguese and Spaniards on the other, the last Frenchman would have returned to his country at the same time with the last English man. The exchange would then have gone on be, tween the respective allies, and France, having in her power a greater number of prisoners than England, ',mild have even consmted to give up unransomed such as remained after the exchange was concluded. This system was conformable to the principles upon which all cartels have been framed for more than a century. 4 4 So just a proposal was rejected ° with a degree of bad faith, which even in England excited the dis gust of all those who read and think. It wal evi dent that the British Government sought to have the whole of the English prisoners for a part only of the French, and did not hesitate to abandon their Allies, and retain the greatest part of the French prisoners, without any species of guarantee what soever. In short, several prisoners had violated their 6 . parole and escaped from France i when the Goirn. ment was eolispelled to issue the Decree of the 4th ' of refusing to listen to the voice of justice, rse a saiii of August, 1811.

NOTE IN THE GAZE TTE DE FRANCE, Or THE FIRST INST. ON EXTRACTS FROST EN GLISII NEWSPAPIIIIE RELATING TO lit e REVOCATION OF THE ORDRES IN COUNCIL 64 Here, indeed, we have a revocation of the Order of 1807 and 1809, from the Ist of .1111 y, but the Orders of 1806 have not been revoked, that is to say, the Orders which sanction the right of a paper blockade, those in which a place Is declared to be in a state of blockade, not because it is actually so, but because it carries on a commerce injurious to, English manufactures. Now, so long as those Or ders remain tsprevoked, you will have done nothing, and you will be prohibited from ingress to the Con tinent. 44 Vessels coming directly to France with neutral cargoes will •be rectiv,ed ; vessels coming from Lou don with English cargoes will be confiscated. 44 We do not admit of any species of blockade, but that defined by the treaty of Utrecht, that is, the blockading of a place in the situation in which Flush ing was placed, and the mouths of the Scheldt, during the expedition of 1809, and which, sur rounded by land and sea, is in _danger of being taken; but the application of a paper blockade' to any other point of the coast of the Empire, necessarily . induces a paper blockade of the Bri tish Isles. " in fact, unless the right of blockade, as esta blished by, the treaty of Utrecht, were aeknow ledged; and the Orders of 1806 revoked, what would be the revocation of the Orders of 1807 and 1-809 We should find, to-morrew or next day, ; England declaring in a state of blockade the coast ' of the French Empire, and merely permitt ng neu trals to have some cne point of communication with the coast of the Mediterranean, or with one point in the Baltic. " No, no ! this can never be. Times have changed. The injustice and violence of the mea sures you have adopted, have authorised the adop tion of similar measures by France. It is the ne cessity you produced for their adoption, which has formed the Great Empire. The time has gone by when you could do what you pleased ss ith the Con tinent and the Continent would do nothing to you. This time will never return, no more than the reign of weak and dissipated monarchs. 41 After every declaraeion of war, your travellers and merchants shall be arrested on the Continent, if you should capture on sea the mariners, passengers, and merchants you may find in merchant vessels.— If you blockade on commercial speculation ; if you apply to a part of the empire the principle of a paper blockade, which yGu have adopted, and not to it real blockade, the British Isles, and your other possessions, shall be subjected also to paper blockade. If you adopt strong measures, we shall adopt stronger—force of arms shall be opposed to force of. arms—legislative rigour to legislative rigour. This is the only method by which we can avoid being made your dupes—the only method to conquer you, or at least to compel you to be just. You have more need of the commerce of the Continent, than the Continent has need of your's. You have more need of America than she has of you ; inasmuch as the merchant has more need of the consumer, than the consumer has of him. 4v If I cannot clothe myself in velvet, I will use cloth. If I cannot have cotton stockings, I will wear thread. There is the tale of the consumer. But the merchant, who had founded the well-being of his fa mily on the wants of the consumer, is under the ne cessity of selling. If you cease to sell, where will you procure means of defraying your national expen diture ? Nevertheless, commerce is, no doubt, ne cessary to the Continent; he who would oppose ob stacles to the progress of industry, would be words, of a barbarous age rather than of the present. Dif ferent climes have different productions—exchange, and reciprocal accommodation, beget wealth. Let commerce, then, be re-established, but let it be so upon just and legitimate grounds—let the nations contend with each other, but let not an arbitrary spi rit of industry be supported by force. If,' said Lord Chatham, • we acted justly to wards prance, par prosperity could not be of four and twenty hour duration.' When Lord Chatham spoke thus, he might have been in the right—but if he was now living, he would talk differently. The circumstances were then in your favour —you were Lords of the Ocean, as you still are—but France was without influence on the Continent. While you pres sed upon her with unjust principles of • a 'Whilst events proceed in the North of Europe with :itch rapidity, that though attention is alai) s ta. tided, yet is never satiated ; whilst Poland resembles a nation of children, under the flags of its august bl.:l.:tor,_the people of another continent take chi t s:i.irc in that great movement which agitates tae ull de world, and is to fir its destiny. Spanish atine. rica endeavours to take its rank among independent nations; and the United States, wciried cf the cons. mercial tytannv of EngLnd, draw from t! .e scabbard the sword of Viashington, which has once already humbled British pride. The efforts of America excite a great interest in those who recollect with what insulting haateer they have been treated by the English Government, which always considered them as revolted coli.nies. The probable consequence: of this new war will be to give a mortal blow to that system of monopoly which England for two centuries so obstinately, pursued; and which becomes weaker in pr i pixirtion as it be. comes more extended, because it tit contrary to the natural rights and prosperity of other nations. a On casting one's eyes over the at, of Nord; America, it is immediately perceived that the Eng. 'Ash still possess vast possessions on the contiver, the most important parts of which are Canada and Nova Scotia. Masters of Canada, they command the nevi. Ration of the river St. Lawrence, from Montreal to Quebec. This river is navigable for laic Ibips, which transport either to England or the English A► titles articles of the first necessity. The misgatiss of these rivers is protected brthe maritime statical( Halifax, considered as the capital of Nova Scoria. 64 This is not the only advantage which the Yap lish draw from die possession of Canada. It ASA r them the means of eluding the Non.intercourse Laws passed by the American Congress. From Montreal to St. Jan's, the distance by land is very ioconside. table ; therefore this town has become an eiereiiit for English goods, which, by Lake Champlain, are easily introduced into the States of Vermont and hew York. g 4 War once commenced between the United States and England, the latter will quickly be deprived of all these advantages which feed her pride and cupi dity. The Americans have only to give to the in. habitants on the frontiers of Canada l ibe rty to invade that country, and it will soon be delivered from the English .dominion. Vermont State alone has fre. quendy offered, at its own expellee, to conquer Ca. nada, whose frontiers are open on all sides, and which has for its defence only a few English regiments, and a militia more dangerous than useful, because a na tional antipathy still exists in all its force between the French and their rulers. Quebec is a strong place, but the events of the war in which the brave Montcalm perished, prove . that it cannot long exist after the remainder of the province is conquered. If it cannot be taken by main force, it may easily be reduced by famine, oat ticolarly during the winter, by cutting off all the communications by means of which its garrison re. ceives subsistence. a It is probable the Americans will strike the 6nt blow in this part of 'hi Continent, and that conside rations so simple will not escape their sagacity. 64 The effects of the conquest of Canada can alone be appreciated by those who thoroughly understand that country, and the resources whiCh England (Sr some years has drawn from it. From that time, the • station at Halifax would become an useless expels*. • and the British Antilles, which receive the principal part of their supplies from Canada, would be el• posed to famine, and of course fall into the hands of r . that nation which could feed them. An important debouche is cut off from English merchandise ; the London capitalists interested in the fur trade would be deprived of their incomes, perhaps of their cap'. tal ; and fresh bankruptcies would shake public as• . dit and private fortunes. The English Government, ever faithful to its in. • cendiary policy, bad raised the savages against the United States, in the hope that this new war would have diverted the attenticn of the American" or made them fear a rupture with great Britain. This hope has been deceived. The Savages, .orthy Al lies of the British Ministers, have been defeated by the army of the United States; and I know not wh at Prophet, (raised up by the Cabinet of St. James's') who came at an unfavourable time, has been hanged.
