The retreat our General made was only to repass the li►er at half a league's distance from the field of bode; where he collected all his troops, and remained more than 24. hours, and afterwards marched for llisique.

In Estremadura, Major-General &Ana's bri gade of cavalry (3d Dragoon Guards, and Royal Dragoons) having fatten in with two French regi ments of Dragoons under General L'Allemand near Llera, charged and broke the enemy's line, but Mving pursued without sufficient caution or order, a body kept by the enemy in reserve fell upon the Bri tish before they could form and retook nearly all the .prisoners Geo. SLADE had made, killing and wound mg-20 or 90 of his dragoons, and taking prisoners two Lieutenants and above 100 men. “ P. S. The dispatches received at the Foreign Office from Mr. STEWART contain intelligence from Estramadura of a later date. 44 It appears that the forces under Marshal Souvr and General DROUET having collected, had moved forward to Llerena and Santa 011atla. In conse quence of which Sir Row LAND HILL had called in all his detached troops, and had assembled the whole of his army at Albuera, where he was joined upon the 18th, by four Portuguese regiments from Badajoz, and by the Spanish troops under the Conde Da PIUtINE VILLAMOUR. General HILL% , advanced posts were at Santa Martha. iniltienee of England , and for bringing bactr &ft Power to principles more conformable to the rights of • nations. Russia was not slow in departing from this salutary system: The change, on her part, being an• pounced by certain facts, and the means of negotiation , being ineffectually employed during the course of the year 1811, the Emperor was bound to resort to mea- I sures which the dignity of his Crown, the interest of his people, and the darrger of his.allies dictated. The treaties which are about to be laid bilore you form a step towards the execution of this design. "His Highness then delivered the documents refer- red to in his speech. REPORT OF THE MINISTER FOR FOREION AFFAIRS TO THE LMPERoR, ETC. • ' " ante—The Treaty between France and Russia was a treaty of offensive alliance against England. It was on your return from the conferences of the Niemen, in which the Emperor Alexander said to your Majesty that he would be your second against England, that you determined to sacrifice the advan tages that victory had given you, and to pass rapidly from the state of war to the state 'of alliance with Russia. This alliance, which augmented for France the means of war against England; ought also to have secured the peace of the Continent. In 1809, however, Austria made war upon France. Russia, in contradiction to the precise text of treaties, affor ded no aid to your Majesty. Instead of the 150,000 men which might have been put in motion, and which ought to have suprorted the French army, only 15,000 were brought into the field, and by the time they crossed the Russian frontier the fate of the war was decided. 44 After this epoch, Sire, the ukase of the 19th of December, 1810, which destroy ed our commercial relaticns with Russia, the admission of English com merce into her ports, her armings, which, from the I. commencement of 1811, threatened the invasion of the Duchy of Warsaw, finally, the protest respecting Oldenburgh, annihilited t h e a lli ance . I t no longer I existed, when on both sides armies were formed for reciprocal observation. " The whole of the year 1811 was, however, spent in conferences and negotiations with Ru ss ia, i n t h e hope of withdrawing, if possible, the Cabinet of Petersbusgh from the war, upon which it appeared to be resolved, and to obtain a knowledge of its real in tentions. It is proved to the certainty of evidence, that that power proposed at the same tittle to depart from the conditions of the Treaty of Tilsit, to place herself in peace with England, and to menace the ex ` istence of the Duchy of Warsaw, making use of the Ipretest of indemnities claimed f or the Duke of Olden burgh. Your Majesty, determined to maintain, by arms, the honour of treaties, the existence and integrity of the States of your Allies, has felt the importance of uniting yourself more closely to a Power, to which you were already attached by words dear to your heart, and the general political interests cf which are the same as those of your Majesty ; for this purpose, a Treaty was concluded o n the 14th of this month with Austria. " Every thing promises a long duration to this al liance. It assures repose to the South of Europe, and promises to France that she shall no longer be disturbed in her efforts for the re-establishment of a maritime peace. (Signed) lg " DUD DE BAsSANO.

The JAS- Piles convoy..

HARDY knows nothing of it. As this report may be - mentioned in other letters, I think it right to inform you that it rests on no good authority." We this day continue our extracts from the Ame rican Papers received yesterday. The letter from Mr. FOSTER to Mr. Moo is one of the ablest docu inents we have yet seen on the subject of the Ameri can question, and shews how . groundless must any complaint be which the American Government may make on the arrival of the repeal of the Orders in Council. The determined spirit of hostilityevinced against thil country still gives us reason to expect an attempt to involve us in new negociations, for there is every rea son to believe that Ministers are in full possession of the result of the &liberations of the Senate, which is said to have declared for instant war. Yesterday a Deputation of American Merchants waited on MT. VANrarrAliT,:,to inquire whether Government was, or was not, informed of the result of the deliberations of the American Legislature. ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQU alt declined giving , any answer to that ap plication, and the construction from this silence is extremely unfavourable. If tranquillity were main tained, there could be no objection, and there would be every motive to appease the anxiety of the appli cants ; but if the contrary, and war were either likely or certain, an embargo will be instantly imposed, and " WILNA, MAY SO. several other measures will be necessary, the success il The Emperor Alexander returned here ester- and effect of which must depend upon the rapidity and day from Grodno, where his Majesty had spent a secrecy with which they are adopted. few days." .
