and Commetati, and after forcing the camp of Ilma, a V co mmanded by ST. Cva, placed themselves before I Dresden, between that City and Leipsic. Our Readers will perceive, that if BONAPARTE or rather his main body had pursued BLUCHER any further, Dresden would have been nearly defencelese. The French Imperial Guards, however, returned to Dresden by forced marches, and they were there on the 24tb,tn the morning. Mean time, M‘Dowatin was bold enough to move upon Jauer, on the 25th an d 26tb....em the latter; of these days &masa tell u pon bun pa the assailant. The battle did not come sienee aka three - o'clock in the afternoon ; but before fu nset the French were literally driven into the Sam bath. The trophies to the Allies on this and the sub sequent they , were 18,000 prisoners, 103 pieces of cannon, W ammunition waggons, and in short every attira il the enemy possessed, for . the Katzbach was too 'nisch swollen to admit of the passage of carriages of any description. The Allies continues' their victorious carreer —they cleared Silesia of the invaders, and on the 2d en camped near Goerlite, in Saxony. On the last day General BLUCHER issued a most animating Address to Iris troops, in which, after noticing their adhieve ments, he declares it to be his intention to continue their forward movements. The detsils of the affairs before Dresden, as we have alre i ady noticed, - are not so ample. The over throw of VAN 2 4 AAibteS corps belonged exclusively to the Allies in That direction ) and we are only enabled to add to our forrnet accounts on this subject, that the Frefich settlement respecting VANDAMME having disapFeared," was tolerably accurate. He is a pri soner : to this number we have also to add, Generals GuYoT and HEIJIBROG; and the Engineer HAxo. The Heligoland Mails inform us of the detection to the Allies of tour squadrons of Westphalian Hus sat:s. These will of course he followed Mr others. Another Gottenburgh Nlail reached thetPost-Office this morning, but, with few exceptions, It brings no intelligence of interest. A lon article in die St. Petersburgh Gazette announces the accession of Austria to the confederati on against BoNarints, and congratulates the Russian naticut on the circum• stance. An enumeration is given of the Austrian armies, which are described as in the highest con- • dition. On Sunday. evening his Majesty's cutter Decoy brought into the Downs a flailing-boat belonging' either to Blanckenburgh or Ostend, which she fell in with, standing for Margate to land a passenger from Ostend.

He re ports, that it was rumoured, when he sailed, that the French army had sustained a dreadful loss in mut battles before Dresden. AMERICA. 'fbi Ned American schooner, from New York, sent in as a prize to . Plymouth, reports, that an ex press had arrived at the former port on the 31st of July, with intelligence that an Act had passed both Houses for a General Embargo. The schooner escaped by working incessantly, and getting away next day, the Ist of August, before the regular noti. fication of the Embargo reached New York. The following articles are from New York Papers brought by the Ned e FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, JULY 66 OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE. The answer of the Executive to the Resolution of the House of Representatives respecting the time, place, manner, &c. of the first communication to this Government of the Decree purporting to be a defini tive Repeal of the French Decrees of Berlin and Mi lan, was yesterday transmitted to the House of Ret present atives in the form of a Report from the Secre tary of State. It is an able and valuable State Pa per of considerable length, and will occupy several columns. " The Report embraces the following facts, stated in distinct and unequivocal terms : —That the first intelligence which this Government received of the French Decree of the 28th April, 1811, was commu nicated by Mr. Barlow, in a letter bearing date on the 12th May, 1812, which was received by this de partment on the 13th July following ; that the first intimation to Mr. Barlow of the existence of that de cree, as appears by his communications, was given by ' the Duke of Bassano, in an informal conference on some day between the Ist and 10th of May, 1812, and that the official communication of it to Mr. Bar low was made on the 10th of that month at, his re quest ; that Mr. Barlow transmitted a copy of that decree, and of the Doke of Bassano's letter, an nouncing it to Mr. Russell, in a letter of May 1 lth, io which he also informed Mr. Ronal, that the Duke of Bassano had stated that the decree had been duly communicated to him ; that Mr. Russell replied, in letter to Mr. Barlow of the '29th May, that his first knowledge of this decree was derived from his letter, and that he has repeatedly stated the same since to this Government. " This Secretary of State reports also, that no coin ' munication of the decree of the 28th April, 1811, was ever made to this Government by the Minister of France, or other person, than as is above stated, and that no explanation of the cause of its not having been communicated to this Government and published at the time of its date, was ever made to this Govern ment, or, so far as it is informed, to the Representa tives or Agents of the United States in Europe. The • •a. • .. sinister of France has been aged to explain the cause of a proceeding apparently so extraordittarT and exceptionable, who replied, that his first intelli• gene of that Decree was received by the *asp, in a letter - from the Duke of Bassano of May 10khi in which he expressed his. surprise excited by °Par. ) Barlow's communication, that prior letter of t, 1811, it which he had transmitted a co py o f th e cree r for the intormation of this 'Government, badtmt bees received. ge Mr. Secretary Monroe, aftei this, enters into an examination of the actual :tett of our foreign tele tions, to which it would be doing great itiustice to attempt an abbreviation of it. We cannot, however, forbear quoting the last paragraph of this most im portant Report, the whole of which our Readers, of, whatever political character, will peruse with greatest interest, and, we venture to say, with the most entire conviction, if not saddaction : ' After this Paper vienrto Press, the lenterpeeted 4:tspatches from Ford CAVICAIIIT respecting the af fairs before Dresden, and Vettasatara's defeat, rived. " It was anticipated by some, that a declarm war against Great Britain would fOrce the States into a close connection With her adversary much to their disadvantage. The cretary of Nolo it proper to remark, that nothing is more mote from the fact. The discrimination in France, according to law, in consequence acceptance of the proposition made equally to . Power!, produced a difference between them in that special case, but in that only. " The war with England was declared without any concert or communication with the French Govern ment ; it has produced no conpection between the United States and Frince, or any understanding as to its prosecution, continuance, or termination. The ostensible relation between the two countries is true and only one. " The United States have just claims on France for spoliations on their commerce on the high seas, and in the ports of France, and their late Minister was, and their present Minister is instructed to de mand reparation for these injuries, and to press it with the energy due to the justice of their clainis, and to the character of the United States." The following statbment has been circulated by Government ; " A Messenger has arrived from the Russian head-i quarters, but Government have no later intelligence l than the 30th ultimo-, OR which day VANDAIIIieS de 'eat was not 'beak?).

General MORLAU received his severe, if not mortal Wound, about the middle of the day, whilst in conversation with the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. " Two Westphalian Regiments have deserted tc the Allies. The greatest spirit and ardour are said to pre. vail throughout the Alfied force for a vigorous pro secu:ion of the great contest in which they are en gaged." " FOREION-OFFICE, SEPT. st. 44 Dispatches have ben received from Sir CHARLES STrwAns, dated Zehirta, the 27th ultimo, frorn Altenb!rg, the 29th, and from Toeplitz of the 30th, which state, that the Allied Army debouched from the defiles of Bohemia on the 26th, when the chief resistance they met with was from a corps under General ST. Cva, of upwat ds of 15,000 men, which was successfully dislodged by General Wrrr- GENSTEIN, when the enemy retired upon Konigstein and Liebenstein. " On the 27th, the enemy withdrew into the suburbs and town of Dresden, and a general st uck was made on the redoubts which defended Dresden, but it was impossible to penetrate into the city before night-fall, when the order for retreat was given. The enemy sallied out with a corps of 50,000 men on one Wing of the Allies. The loss of the Allies in the attack is estimated at less than 4000. The Austrians chiefly suffered. ~ A more general battle took place on the morn ing of the 28th. BONAPARTE attacked the Allies with a force of at least 130,000 men. The heavy and continued rains prevented the infantry on either 'Aide coming much into action.' 4 , The battle was principally confined to a heavy cannonade on both sides, and to several most charges of Austrian, Russian, and Prussian ' cavalry. " The enemy continued to make his efforts till the evening, when finding he could make no impression, the action ceased. This battle is supposed to have cost the Allies between six and seven thousand men.' The enemy must have suffered more. 44 The Allies retreated in,perfect order on the even ing of the 28th. They are represented as eager as ever to meet the enemy. 64 It is stated, with the deepest regret, that about the middle of the day of the 28th, General MOREAU, whilst in earnest conversation with the Emperor of RUSSIA, had both his legs carried off by a cannon _shot." a WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT.vi. It appears by letters from Stralsund, of the 6th instant, that the enemy's force, under DAVOUST s had retired from Schwerin, the Danes retiring to Lu beck, and the French to- Katyebrugh.

At the former place, which he left on the Bth, the Governor informed him that the CROWN PRINCE had again defeated the French at Juterbach. The Swedes, under VEGESACII, were in possession of Lubeck, and the Danes were reported to have concluded an Armistice for their corps which had retired in that direction.
