THE NATIONAL REGIS' not only by sea, but also by land. The PRINCE REGENT'S declaration, is a manly and expi.:it exp isition of our con. duct, and that of France and America ever since the pro mulgation of the Berliti and. Milan Decrees, compelled us, in self defence, to issue the Orders in Council. It shews that sufficient satisfaction was offered to America, on every subject of complaint; that we even left it to her to propose another mode by which we might repel the fatal effects of the French Decrees on our trade, with the least possible detriment to her. It proves that all our offers of accommo dation were rejected, whilst the conduct of France, although always insulting, and far more injurious than ours to the commercial prosperity of the United States, drew forth nothing but compliance and submission from their Govern.. silent. It lays open the causes of the war, and the injustice of America so plainly, as to render it impossible for parties at home, or nations abroad, to impute any ambitious motives to this country, fcir engaging in a contest whit.h, if not highly glorious to her arms, may be substantially beneficial to her interests.

The whole of it arrived at the moment when I was in the house of Marshall the Duke of Castiglioni, with the Chancellor Baron De Hardenberg, Count De Narbonne, and Prince De Hatzfeld.

D'York, cause him to be ar rested, g ive the command to Gen. Kleist, call upon the troops, although there is but very little probability t hat they can be withdrawn, and to enjoin them to place thentselv , :s under the orders of the King of Naples, to address ail Orders to this Prince to publish to the French army at Po tzeam, in Silesia, the G azettes, an 0 rdre du Jour, in consequence.
