FREEMAN'S JOURNAL. " A Gentleman who arrived at Philadelphia on Sunday evening in the I'ilot stage from Washington, informs, that on Friday 13st, on motion cf Mr. 13n ENT, the Senate adjourned until Monday. This was done in consequence of an important note written by Mr. MoNnon to Mr. FOSTER, an answer to which was ex pected on Saturday, and which the Senate wished to see, before deciding on the important question vf peace Or war. " Mr. Gums had arrived in Washington on Fri day, at midnight, and at eight o'clock on Saturday morning solicited and had an interview with the Pre sident, the particulars of which were not known, but supposed to be very important."

MERCANTILE ADVERTISER, 12TH JUNE. " The Senate of the United States sat tm Monday with closed doors until nearly three o'clock. On that day the 'House of Representatives were in pub lic Session, and several Petitions were presented, and Resolutions adopted!' Mr. FOSTER addressed a very long letter too Mr, MUNROE, on the 30th of May, wherein he recapitu lates the whole proceedings of .the French G. , vern. meat, relative to her conduct towards the United States of America, and particularly uith regar.l to the pretended revocation of the Berlin and Milan De crees, and encloses a Moniteur of the 10th Mitch, containing the Duke of BassAwo's report to the Con servate Senate, wherein it clearly appears that they never have been repealed, an t i • are to remain the fundamental laws of the Empire.

GERMAN PAPERS. German papers reached town this morning. They contain a copy of the Convention between the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of FRANCE, of which an abstract has, already appeared in the STAR.

The marching of troops and military baggage from the South of Europe towards the theatre of the expected war, still continues. In the mean time, ALEXANDER has used every effort to avert actual . hostilities. He is said to have ,represented to NA POLEON, that Russia' could Rot exist longer as a nation without commerce ; and that he was willing to make great sacrifices to secure even a portion of trade to bis subject;. He therefore proposed to lay a new duty of 25 per cent. on all colonial pro duce and goods of British manufacture ; and would allow France half the revenue to sanction the measure. —To this proposal, it is said, BONAPARTE replied, that nothing short. of shutting the ports of Russia against British shipping would satisfy him. Any compromise on his - part would be a total abandon- ment of 64 the Continental System."

The enemy sheaved some troops in frt..nt of the town, but upon the advancing of our cavalry tlizy retreated across the Torrnes, and evacuated Salamanca, leaving about 800 men in some forts, constructed upon the ruins of colleges and convents. The allios enured the c.ty, but Lord WELLING TON had found it necessary to break groun i against the fortified pasts still held by the enemy. The Gth Division, under Major-Central CLINTON, warehar ged with the reduction of these forts, and the batte ries were expected to cpen against them on the 19th.
