At length we have an arrival from the other side w ithe Atlantic, and although it 'does not furnish us w i t h any official document announcing the inten tiets of the American Government respecting' the continuance of the war with this country, the intelli gence is nevertheless of such a description as to war. rant our implicit confidence in the reports which have reached us, that all matters in dispute will be now am icably adjured. The PACIFIC has arrived at Liverpool from New. York. She sailed from that City on the Bth ultimo, as a cartel, and has on board no less than 80 passen gers. By this vessel we have received Letters and gapers front.New.York to the above date, and their contents are of a most interesting: and at the same time of a most agreeable nature. The repeal of the . Orders in Council was not made known at the Seat of Governneat when the Pacific came away, but the intelligence was received every where w ith the utmost joy. While we briefly hint at these pleasing cireu m. glues, we regret to be under the necessity of adding that, nearly the whole of the American States have been thtevrn into a state of riot and disorder in conse quence of the Declaration of War. On the one hand the Federalists throw every impediment in the way of the Republican Warriors, by burning and de stroying privateers, arms, ammunition, &c. while the latter have risen like 'the savages who figured in the • French Revolution, and have commenced a massacre 1 of the party opposed to them. We refer to our details of the sanguinary transactions at fi al ti. more, for proofs of these melancholy facts.—May these atrocious murders be visited on' the heads of their real authors--MADISON and the diabo- Ica French faction at Washington ! The true cha racter of the person' whose name has just been held Sp to the execration of mankind, is,..not known— , perhaps the private dispatches in cyphers, to his re segado Minister at Paris, reported in the American papers to have been intercepted by the British crui. sera, will strip the disguise from this American Ttger, and display the naked deformity of his Re pti6lican heart ! The Genetal Washington, another cartel, was to sail from Philadelphia for Liverpool on the Atli ult. so that a few days will probably bring us still more gratifying information than th elt brought by the Pacific. The Americans have seriously undertaken. the conquest of Upper Canada. We laugh their threats to scorn on this subject, even if the war be continued. We hasten to lay the following Extracts before our Readers : " NEW-YORK, AUGUST' & " THE ORDERS IN Ccioectc..--be the following auricle, from the Bolton Centiou4 it appears that the British Orders in Council are revoked i and that the, revocation took •place the very day bn which our Government declared war against Great Britain and its territories on this side the Atlantic : " A cartel, seven days from Halifax, with 14 or IS American prisoners, amen them Mr. J.Gardner,. late supercargo of the ship Marquis Someruelos, ar rived A Salem'on Thursday evening. Mr. Gardner 'furnishes the following political news : A Ketch had arrived at Halifax front Plymouths . bound to the United States with dispatches for the British Ministry ; but learning front a vessel she spoke that Mr. Foster was in Halifax, put in there for ad vice—and it seems her dispatches were of such a na •threthat it was determined to send her immediately rtnNew-York, and, as she sailed in company with the cartel, has probably arrived_ there. What was `considered as giving importance to them, was doubt less the POSITIVE REPEAL of the Orders in Council, which tool: place on the 18th of June, (the date of our declaration of war !) as the Governor assured Mr. Howe, the publisher of the Gazette. A letter from Mr. Rowe to the Exchange Coffee-fro - use book keeper, dated 22d July, says 4 the Orders in Council -4. are r epealed.-dispatches received by Mr. F 0:4 oster 1 0 the Gleaner, last night, announce the event.C.-Mr 7 Gardner understood this vessel brought London, dates_ to the 21st of June. Much good as to a reconcilia tion, seemed to be expected from this act of revoicao Eon. Mr. Foster adds Mr. G.) had sailed forFig hnd in the Atalanta." " 'rhe Ketch, mentioned . in this article, is the Cleaner, of 10 guns. She arrived , yesterday, in SS days from Plymouth, England, and nine from. Hall. f ax.

May the proem of War and . reattire 'pence to this afflicted land, or the people will bid them to retire to , private life, and place the affairs of State into the hands of better and wiser men:" The following article in the National firtelligencer, (the Government Gazette) published at WaShington on the 4th of August, may be considered as demi gruial. It is highly conciliatory in its tendency, and may be regarded as a harbinger of Peace between the two countries : PROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER OP AVM 1. .*e have seen with great regret and . snrprists the many misrepresentations of the views oldie Go vernment, which are daily published in the federnt prints: at a time like this when the exertions of every individual should be directed to an efficient prosecu tion of the war solemnly declared by the Constitute Authorities, such misrepresentations cannot but have . the most baneful influence, as well on the present as ton,the future prospects of our country. 7 , • "To put in end to them, .;a6tar as in our power, we here remark, that although the Government are making the most vigorous efforts to prosecute the war against England with effect, they are disposed to accommodate all differences on the most reasonable conditions. • , I "As an induceinent to the British Government not to impress seamen from our vessels, our Government is yet willing, as it is well knowri it has long been, to enter into an arrangement—to be reeprocal, to pre vent the employment of British seamen in American vessels, public nr private ; such an arrangement would put an end to all pretext on the part of Great Britain for impressing seamen from our vessels, and the great advantage she would derive from it, if her only ob ject, as is alledged, is to get her own subjects, ought to induce her to accede to it ; for it must be evident that the exclusion of British seamen from our service would secure to her more than she can gain by im. pressment... Such an arrangement would then be ad. vantag. ous to Great Britain, as *an expedient to in crease her maritime strength, while it would have hn effect of bringing into our service our seamen, and also of augmenting their numbertu: 4 ' It is highly important to both Countries that this. qtiestion should he settled; foiezler;ace• has shown, that there cannot be a good understanding between them until Great Britain ceases to impress seamen. " We state another fact, which we believe to be equally true, that our Government will not, under any circumstances that may occur, form a political connection with France. To the injuries r.ceived from her, a just sensibility has always been felt: the war with England bas not abated it, nor has it dimi. ntshed the zeal, 6r weakened the efforts,. to obsain, rodress. 44 The idea of a poli!iial connection with France, as an expedient to eat( rt justice from England, is treated with disdain by every perscn cohni ctcd v:1111 Governfitent. It is net desirable u. enter the list with the two great Belligerervs at cnce, but if England act s with wisdom, and Frauce I crseveres in her c;:reel of injustice and folly, se slauld not be rmpristd to see the attitude of the United btates change towards those Powers. We are now at war with England ; let her Government do us justice—let the other con tinue to refuse it, and front that nicsneht, se have no dopbt that the United States will assume a correspon. dent relation with both." RIOTS AT BALTIMORE. TRACT (VA LETTER FROM It ALTNORE, DATED JULY 28 I have to record the most painful occurrence that took place here last night, and tile final-ruin of 'our once prosperous city. Yesterday the Federal Rod* lican newspaper resumed its former circulatiou,and last evening a lawless mob made an attempt on the house in Charles-street, (from whence it was saved about nine in the evening) by breaking the windows and forcing the doors. The house was fortified and manned with the Editor, Mr. Hanson; and thirty re , solute volunteers, commanded by General Lee, of Virginia. Remon.svance Was used until they ac tually were in the act of entering the house, when the defenders of the property fired blank cartridges, which did not deter the mob. At last it was found expedient to fire with ball at those in the act of en tering, when three were killed dead on the spot, and several wounded. 0 , This deterred them for the moment, until they J ' .Could rally, when they returned with double vigour, but were repulsed, from _the determined resolution of 'those within, and I may safely say hundreds of lives were saved by:the interposition of their Noble Com mander, General Lee, who would not suffer a shot to be fired, nor a bayonet to be used, except against those in the act of entering. so well was this little band orga— nized, .as I am credibly informed, that 1009 men 'enuld not have dislodged.them from the house with *oat -cannon, and this the mob was sensible of, which induced them to break open Captain Harris's gtin house, and they brought twoZelii-pieces, 4-ponaders, to bear on the house ; but, in the hurry, they , backnet= tiler pOwder nor shot; at this time it wasebo4 oue o!clock this morning, =din the intervals l ota they were plundering foeuninuntuon, a few'of oar respec : . table citizens belonging to some voltinieer troops of h ors e treed to endeavour to put a stop 16 -hedger blood being shed. ' the ,s Th e y. rode between . mob, sword baa d, and demanded order ; it • this time, near 3 o'clock,' the Cannon were loaded, but the militaiiiii‘reasing so fast, Without the order of the Mayor or any supe. I nor officer, but by the impulse of good citizens, his this valiant little baud been saved from lawless mur derers. General Lee, and his volunteers, gave them- i selves up to the military, and were conducted to jail surrounded by the military and the mob at 9 &Clock this morning, and with great difficulty were the mob restrained from having venrance on these defenders of freedom—since they surrendered, the house has been left to the mob 14. plunder, which they are now deitolishing as fast as pos,ible, acid as soon as they have done there, they threaten the gaol, as they are determined to have satisfaction. Many of our respec table citizens are leaving town, and no doubt this place will be given up to the mob._ Wagner was at Georgetown. • 46 The mail is about to close—the mob is very nu• merous and active at this moment—the Mayor will do nothing—the Military acted without command br officers—the LORD have mercy upon us.—lt is impose sible to say how many are killed and wounded." " BALTIMORE, JULY 29. "DEAR Sot—We have had ariother dreadful night. I wrote you yesterday that Mr. Hanson and ins friends were conducted to jail by the Military at their' own request, upon their safety from the fury of the mob being guaranteed by the Mayor and General Stricker. The troops were ordered out for the. pro. , tectiory of the prison arid to keep the peace of the city, but to their eternal, disgrace they refused. " About 9 o'clock P. M. the mob forced the jail and fell with the fury of cannibals on 26 unarmed priso ners, and beat them with clubs until no signs of life remained, when they left them, thinking they had fully completed the bloody deed. Through the mercy of GOD, they all, in a short time, shewed signs of life, except General Lingan, who never recovered, .and now lies dead in the jail. Your friend, Mr. John Thompson, was reserved for a public spectacle:- 7 • After beating him enough to have killed an ox, they put him into a cast, and rolled him in tar and fea thers, set the feathers in a blaze, and at last lodged him in the watch-house. They still keep him con fined, with his tar and feathers on him. The Mayor and other influential characters of the party hart en deavoured to get him from them, but withouteffect, And it is expected they will finally murder him. Ge neral Harry - Lee • is dead, and titere is little hopes of the lives ofa number of others. • Manso • n escaped the best of any ; he ? with three or font , others, jumped amongst the mob in the lobby of the prison and escaped. General Lingan was ft Ulan of gtea t sn . Lttence in his county : Gene. . • ral Lee is also meal esteemed in Virginia, and I • " 'should -not be *surprised if their friends • paid our I fe;l4Ppinrgentry a visit." • General Lee was, perhaps, the most distinguished parti t :an olicer intim American war. He comnyinded Lee's Legion, and belt was thot.tormed he gallant enterprise that took Paulus. Hook. And, at length, atter rendering the most singulak scr. vices to 14.4 * country, he by had his brains beat out coati duii by a zuob!" ofiem•••••••••••4=mm RUSSIA.
