As hart attained for her went th nations, by a piece of striped bunting flyitig at the mast heads of a iew fir•built frigates, manned by a handful of bastards and outlaws? The creed of these new mushroom assertors of the rights of nations is couched in the following language; " The Orders in Council of the British Govern. 'went are now no longer a question with the United State ; the question of Peace now requires only a proper and vigorous use of the ample means which the Government is possessed of, to render it speedy,' decisive, and glorious. Peace, when it comes, must bring with it pore than the confession of British out rage by the retraction of its avowed tyranny; it is not a mere cessation to do wrong that can now produce a Peace—wrongs done must beredressed, and a gua rantee must be given in the face of the world for the restorAtion of our enslaved citizens, and the respect due to our flag, which, like the soil we inherit, must in future secure all that sails under it. The rights of ' neutrals must be recognised, and the British, like the l first tyrants of the Swiss, must no longer expect a free people to bow down and worship the symbols of British usurpation." The private accounts, both from New-York and Washington, although supplied by persons extremely anxious for peace, give no more favourable prospects of that ever, than those contained in the American Journals. Mr. MUNROE was absent in Virginia; but the opinion of persons in the confidence of the Re publican Government was, Chat if the revocation of the Orders were indeed received by the GLEANER, it was now too late for such a measure to restore tran quillity, and nothing could be done but by negocia. tion ". that is, I suppose," says one of these letters, 66 that Great Britain must sue for Peace." It is painful to hear this language : but we are not without bows thar good sense will yet preponderate in the American Legislature. Our Readers must all recollect by how narrow majorities the question of war was carried, and we trust 'that the friends of peace and rational liberty in America will be trium. phant, when the question is again discussed. Both Houses of Congress adjourned on the 6th of July. They meet again on the 2d of November. — During the next session.they will consist of the same Members. The election of new Members for the House of Representatives comes on in No,vember next ; and the election of President in December. and, as the beats advanced, they save them a volley of musketry, which unfortunately killed the Master and one seaman.

" The Souvaasatvots frigate, of 32 guns, Captatn Sir /AIM Lucas Tao, Knt. has arrived at Porto Bello from this Wand, and was to proceed from thence for Port Royal, about the end of last month. " The InitHighlander, CUTRILItT, front Falmouth,bound to London, One of the Beet under convoy of the Tutris frigate, of 38 guns, Captain BYARS, was unfortunately cast away upon the Florida reefs, on the 14th ultimo—the crew, and a considerable part of the cargo and materials, have been saved, and carried to Na'sau, N.P. " The American ship Enterprise, arrived at the Haranna, was fallen in with not long before by the SAPPHO brig, of 18 guns, Captain •'Gawar, who sent on board her, and was astonished to find that she was completely equipped in every respect, and ready for action. At this time Captain O'GRADY 'was unacquainted with the declaration of war again3t Great Britain by the United States, and felt considerable surprise at the warlike state cf the ship, but was unable to learn the reason, as the Yankees were particularly studious in not suffering a syllable to transpire re specting the subject. She was therefore allowed to proceed; and Captain O'GRADY bad the subsequent mortification to fall iu with other American vessels, all of which were also allowed to depart, as it was not until he arrived at Port-Royal that he was apprised of the war. " In spite of all the watchfulness of our men of war, merchant. men from France have frequently arrived of late in the ports of the United States. The day the Bramble schooner, Lieutenant FtsuiNG, reached New-York, with dispatches for Mr. Forrell, two French brigs went in, very valuably freighted With wines, brandy, and silks, from Bourdeauz and Nantz." By the vessel which brought the Gottenburgh Mail of Saturday, a Swedish Messenger arrived. He I is understood to have been the bearer of intelligence so highly satisfactory to our Government relative to the disposition of the CnowN PRINCE of Sweden, that an order was immediately issued for the sailing of a fleet of transports and gun boats for the Baltic. The landing of the Swedish armament in thejear of the French armies will no longer be delayed, and the next mail from Gottenburgh will, we trust, inform us of its having reached its destination. In the mean time there is now no doubt that the object of the late mysterious meeting of the Conserva. the Senate was to provide additional numbers to re cruit the French armies. A new Conscription, said to be more rigid and of coure more obnoxious than any preceding one, has been resolved on. France is the nucleus from which fresh hordes are to be poured for the desolation of Europe. Her murderous career has been checked in Spain by the Marquis of WEL. UNGTON—may we not hope that in Russia also, the arm of the Tyrant who gives life and energy to these modern Vandals may be arrested ! We have no accounts from the Marquis of 'WEL LINGTON'S army of later date than those in th:Gazette. A private letter from Badajoz, of the 14th August, says—" We have just received official intelligence, that Valencia is again in our hands, having surren dered to the expedition from Majorca. It is also re ported, that Tarragona and even Lerida have fallen. General HILL has orders• to advance, and his opera. tions will be' conducted in conjunction with the divi. sion of Ayamnnte, and the forces under BA LLASTEROS: The utmost harmony prevails between the Alliesand the native troops, and consistently with this good un derstanding, all the Spanish Guetillas in the neigh bourhood of Madrid, have gladly placed themselves under the elders of the Marquis of WELLINGTON. Among the principal chiefs who have submitted to this arrangement, are the celebrated champions, the Empecinado and the Medico." The Princess SopurA OF GLOUCESTER is on a tour to.the Isle of Wight. The, Duke of CLARENCE' the Dowager Marchioness of LANSDOWN, Coloncl and Mrs. MELLISH, are among the latest arrivals at Southampton. Last Saturday night the play of Pizarro was re presented. Ihe after-piece was Midas, and the house very well attended. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT was in his private box at Covent-Garden Theatre, on Satur day evening, to see the Play of Pizarro, and the fa vourite Burletta of Midas. On Saturday, the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, accompanied by Lady DE CLIFFORD, arrived at half-past four o'clock al Kensington Palace, dined with her Mother, and set off fcr Windsor a lime before eight. The Duke of CArrlGnioNit, under a belief that Swedish PGmerania would be invaded, has ordered the inhabitants to be disarmed. Strangers are for bidden to appear in the streets after Ink, or to wear side arms. At Leeds Rotation-office, last week, J. Wadding ton, a cloth-maker, was convicted in the penalty of £2O, for shooting a hare. Monday, a person was committed to Ilchester gaol, for stealing 22 yards of cotton print, from a shop in that town. His wife received such a shock I at his misconduct, that she died the following day of a broken heart. CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, SEPT. el.

Watson, Esq. inserted in the National Intelligencer " Quincy, July 6, 1812. " To your allusion to the war I have nothing to' say but that it is with surprise that I hear it pronoun ced not only by newspapers but by persons in autho rity, ecclesiastical and civil, and political and mili tary, that it is an unjust and unnecessary war; that the declaration of it was altogether unexpected. 44 How it is possible that a social or moral creature tan say that the war is unjust is to me utterly incom prehensible. " How it can be said to he unnecessary is very mysterious. I have thi,ught it both just and ueces spry fes five tr six years. 1 4 , Hose it can be said to be unexpected is another vionder ; I have expected it more than five-and-twenty years, and h , .ve had great reason to be thankful that it has been postponed so long. I saw such a spirit in tl e British Islands when I resided in France and Holland, and in England itself, that I expected an other war much sooner than it has happened. I was so impressed with the idea, that I expressed to Lord Lansdowne, (formerly Lord Shelburne), an appre hension that his Lordship would live long enough to )e obliged to make, and that I should live long enough yr-see another peace made between Great Bit lain and the United States of „America. His Lord ship did not lire 20 make the peace, and I shall not probably live to see k : but I have lived to see the war that must be followed by a peace, if the war is not eternal. " Our agricultural societies may not be so much regarded, but the great interest of agriculture will not be diminished by the war. Manufactures will be ofromoted. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. n• MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. tr. MATnew.—}l•liclay at the Stock Exchange. We have received letters and papers from New. 'York to the 14th, and from Washington to the 9th tilt. We are not surprised to find from these, that .the repeal of the Orders in Council, ample and un. conditional as it was, has not satisfied the dema gogues of America. • The American Government 1 has now thrown off the mask even of moderation, which its Members have assumed in their negocia tions with this country, and has made common cause with France in her attempt to subjugate the world. The tone of the " National Intelligencer," the organ of Mr. MADISON'S Government, previous to . the arri val in America of the formal repeal of the Orders in Conncil, was moderate if not pacific, but now that Great Britain has receded from her high and com manding attitude as mistress of the seas and dictator of the maritime law of nations, America, like an • ungiateful and malignant minion, turns upon her Beeefactor, and demands still further concessions ....the American flag is now to secure " all that stils under its" This is precisely the language of the French Government—" Free ships make free rods," has been eternally echoed in our ears, sicce the .commenconent of the war ; and but 'yesterday , We were told by France, that the Treaty of Utrecht was the line of -demarcation of our mar iti m e rig hts.

In conse quence of the war with America, the Governor of Jamaica had opened the ports to Spanish and other •essels, with flour, meal, beans, pease, and all kinds of grain and lumber. The Montague brought the following passengers : Mr. MOFFAT, and Mr. and Mrs. EDWARDS. The following are extracts from the letters and papers to the 11th ult. brought by the above Mail : " KINGSTON, AUGUST 7. " By the MINORCA, from Carthagena, we learn, that the In dependents in that quarter are losing ground fast, a• d have been recently defeated in several rencontres by the Royaliftts."

On the 26tb ult. shout 90 miles to windward of Harbour Island she fell in with and captured the Arricrican ship Resolution, of Philadelphia, from Amelia Island, cut ten days, bound to the Havannah, and laden with a cargo of flour, rice, arid ranging timber, which Lieutenant YATES sent for New Providence. On the 30th, in the Crooked island Passage, the VAlt 1A et.E spoke the Rn o DIAN brig, of 16 guns, Captain Boss, from Port Royal bound to New Providence, which bad touched at Cape Francois,where an American schooner had arrived from Philadelphia, with in formation of war having been declared against Great Britain, and that fourteen privateers had sailed down the Delaware to cruize against British vessels.

" The Mary Ann packet, Captain CADDY, sailed on Monday morning with a mail for Great Britain. The GORILE sloop of war, of 18 guns, Captain BT NO, sailed at the same time for the purpose of convoying the packet to a certain latitude, after which she is to proceed to Bernina's. " The Spanish schooner la Lark, BERNAMDINO, in three days from the Indian Coast, in ballast, arrived at Port Royal on Wed nesday, having been chased off that coast by a brig of a suspicious &profane., which bad a few days previous captufed a sloop be longing to Mr. D tea ttz, of this city. "A French privateer was brought into Port Royal this morn ing. This vessel was taken about a month ago, by the CYANIC ,frigate, of 22 guns, Captain FORREST, and carried into Curacoa ; .sbe was then sent down with an officer and ten men, but was captured on Thursday last, off Cape Tiburon, by an American privateer schooner, of one gun and 30 men. The officers of the latter made use of every, persuasion to induce our tars to join their colours, which they manfully resisted, and, finding their en deavours to subvert their allegiance ineffectual, they gave her up after taking some sails from her and costing away her main boom. The privateer has black sides, with white streake, is cop per-bottomed, and has white mast-beads. She had captured the brig Caltdonia, Pescara.

GRAND ARMY. " VIASMA, AVMS el. 0 The head.quarters of the Essasatut were, on the 27th, at Slakovo ; on the 28th, near Slenlovo ; on the 1 29th, in a Castle one league in the rear of Viasma* and on the 80th at Viasma ; the army marching in three columns—the left formed by the Viceroy, pse. seeding by Kanouchkino, Znamenkoi, Kosterectkovo, 1 and Novoe=" - the centre formed by the King of NA- / 1 PLEB, the corps of the Prince of ECTUUHL, the Duke \. of ELCHINGEN and the Guards marching on the grand 1 road, and the left by the Prince PoNtarowsav I i marching on the left bank of the Osna by Voloske ' ? Louchke, POkroskoe, and Slunckino. 46 On the 27th the enemy wishing to resst on the Osma, opposite the village of Riebke, took a position with his rear-guard. The King of NAPLES directed his cavalry on the left of the enemy, which amounted to 7 or 8000 cavalry. Sev oral charges took place, to our advantage. A battalion of the enemy was penetrated by the 4th regiment of Lancers. A I un. dred prisoners were the result of this small affair, The positions of the enemy were carried, and he was obliged to quicken his retreat. "On the 28th, the enemy was pursued. The ad. vanced guards of three French columns came up with the rear guard of the enemy ; they exchannged seve ral cannon-shot. The enemy was chiven every where. 8 , General Count CAULINCOUKT mitered Viasma On the 29th, at daybreak. 44 The enemy had burned the bridges, and set fire to several quarters of the city. Viasina is a town of 15,000 inhabitants : there are 4000 burghers, mer chants, and artisans ; there are 3'2 churches. Consi. derable resources in flour, soap, drugs, Btc. and large magazines of brandy were found. 4 , The Russians burnt the magazines, and the finest houses in the town were ,on fire at our arrival. Two battali!.,ns of the 25th ware employed with much activity in Extinguishing them. We got it under and saved three quarters of the town. 40 The Cossacks before they left it committed the dreadfullest pillage, which has made the inhabitants say, that the Russians think Viasma will be no lon ger uncles their dominion, since they treat it in so barbarous a manner. All the population of the towns retires upon Moscow. It is said there are now one million and a half of people in that great city. They fear the result of these crowds. The inhabitants say that Genetal Krrrusow has been sp. pointed Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army. and that be took the command on the 28th. 64 The Grand Duke CONSTAUSTINS, who had tip turned to the army. having fallen ill, has quitted it. " A little rain has fallen, which has laid the, dust that incommoded the army. The weather teak is leery fine—it will last, as they believe, to the 194 October, which gives us still 4.0 days campaign." GOLD AND BANK NOTES.
