(Signed by the Five Doctors.) UNITED STATES. . A vessel called the Antata is arrired at Liverpool from Ivor York, whence she sailed on the 3d ult. Its passen. kin state, that War with this country is again the order of the day" in America. We are not surprized at those perpetual fluctuations in tht opinions of the American Rulers ; they follow the course of the tides which wafts to their shores the instructions from 13CONAPARTE. The Government papers have formally denied that any propo sal had been made to Mr. MUNROE by Mr. FOSTER to re. •new Lord AUCKLAND'S intended Treaty. This is again as it should be. The Trench faction must have felt consi derable apprehension lest the assertion should offend their Imperial Idol ; for it is well known that the Berlin Decree was issued •not to retaliate for our first Orders in Council, which at first were paised unnoticed by BUONAPARTE, tint to deter the American Government from signing that very Treaty. It is added, that Congress had authorized a loan of eleven million of dollars, for the 'express purpose of harrying on the rvar ; and that the Bill for alloiving the im portation of certain-goods from Great Britain continued to lay dormant on the table of the House of Reptesenta . tives. APPROACHING BATTLE IN SPAIN. Not satisfied with besieging Ciudad Rodrigo, we are in. formed, by the arrival of the Speedy, Capt.

By this judicious movement.it is possible that his Lordship might interpose between SouLT and MAIIMONT, render their junction impracticable, and beat them in dc tail. The following is one of the letters which conveys this important information : " Liverpool, April 2. " After a passage of ieven days,,the galllot Speedy, Captain Wm ur, arrived at this port with intelligence that the siege of flaslajos had coni -1 menced the ifith r. and that a most desperate sortie was made b y the French on the 20t i i which was ;vigorously and effectually repulsed by the bytegers, comisting chiefly of Portuguese, but officered by the Btitl4k.
