New.Yorte, kortang:PaPer (says The Uts!Erasure Faced Gazette) attempts, most vainly attempts, to hollow a belief, thai the late British Order is the rescinding promised by Mr. Erskine, gait in consequence of which pro. raise the President opened the intercourse with England. Now, although the Editor of that Paper every clay cries out " give us light," yet he plainly shows an unconquerable aversion to what little light he already possessed. Every body kuuwc, that in consequence of the engagement of the British Minister, that his Government Will have removed their offensive orders on the 10th of June, the President issued his prUel:unation, dated April 10, removing the legal restrictions on our trade with England ,• a proclamation which all English-haters hate. This new order iv dated April WI, no m ire than seven days after the I,rucla. Therefore it could nut have been that which Mr. Erskine promised. It was a upon. taiseaus act, ur it was procured by Mr. Pinckney on the Tut, without any reference to the pledge of Mr. Erskine. Every well.dispused citizen waits with patience the answer to the American and •u Mr. Erskittee Jispatches, sent out in eon. seouenee of the arnngemeets mad: at Washing. tun, in April. If the British Government refuse to rearm that %silica the representative of the Kist el England has promised, then might we M. robre and wage war against that country. Such a rate of thi igs is nut at all likely to ensue, and hem is the cause of some men's vexation, and the pat tial chiradatiun of the press. Wa.utNGTOll, Jetts 12.—The Messenger who wen , to England in the Pacific has returned to this city, and it was at first said, that he had brought very bad news, as the friends of France were in high spirits. They proclaimed that Great Britaiv hid been deceiving us ; that while she was holding out the olive-branch, she had de. dared all the world in a state of bl•vckade, and thus rut up our commerce by the roots. Now ! said they, there is but one course fur us to pursue, and that is to open intercourse with France, declare war with Britain, take Ca nada and Nova Scotia, and establish internal et inufactures on a large scale. The war party es:ert, that a contest with Great Britain is nu longer to be avoided, and it is ezpected that they will this very day bring forward sonic measure or other, with a view to enable them to fulfil their awn prediction. lam assured, however, that no alarm exists in the Cabinet, and that the President & • a sot consider tharany insurmountableobstacle to our amicable arrsegement has as yet been inter posed. P. S. The war party were in raptures yester day at e hat they deemed the good news ; but they are Tate Knights of the Lung Visage. I ant assur d this moment, and the public may rely arm the fact, that the President has no serious apprehension of a failure in the negotiation. Thy men of war sprung up yesterday like the men of Cadmus, bristling with spears, and blooming with laurels ; but " dust they weft., and to dust they are returning!" STITE P.IPERS. 11a.

PROPOSITI WEAN. LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 1. IN TUE STATESMAN of Frida y hot, we . . stated our opiuiou that it was not " unreasonable to 4t conjecture that N.troceoe would hasten from " 6 the Banks of the Danube to those of the 1 * Scheldt, the IVeser, or the Elbe, as he did " from Madrid to Slrasburgh, when the Arch. " duke CHARLES, by the passage of the Inn, ' 6 commenced that war which has terminated in " the absolute annihilation of the House of Aug " tria."— Decisive as was the battle of Wagram agsinst the power of Austria, the crisis of NA rOLEON'S fortunes cannot be said to have been , passed, twill be shall have finally secured his power by repelling the formidable attack of our wilted Fleet and Army—for if, by their success, the .po pulation of Holland and the North of Germany, now groaning under French domination, should burst forth into open insurrection, he will then have to maintain hostilities in Spain—in Holland, and the North of Germany, at the same moment that he is compelled to hold his fortified poti!ions in Aus tria. The character of this extraordinary man is so well known, that it is not to be supposed ho will be idle in an emergency so imminent.—From these considerations, we thought it reasonable to . expect, that he would immediately fly from the scene of inaction to that of active hostility-;—to , that quarter of the Continent in which his pre. sence would give more vigour and animation, than could be infused into the armies under his con. trout by any delegated potters. It is now ru. moored, in the last communications from the Con tinent, that he has actually returned to Paris.— This fact has not yet been received through any channel which can be deemed authentic— but the probability or that event leaves us no inducement to doubt the truth of the re. port. No information has yet been receiv.el of the operations of our Expedition. The tants of Walcheren are said to be disposed to re. ceivieus in the most friendly manner—from which the easy possession of that place may perhaps be anticipated. But that the shores of the Scheldt will not be defended, and that vigorously—is quite beyond our expectation. With the first inielli. genee from our fleet, tie think it is probable that accounts will also be received of a very formidable French and Dutch force in the neighbourhood of Antwerp. If every part of France is stripped of tri. it may be with certainty expected that the lotirineditated and publicly known point of our attack will not be left uncovered. It, an article from Breslau, of the 12th of June, it is mentioned in letters from the Austrian frontiers, that the Russian corps which has entered Lemberg has established a sort of mixed govern. ment there. Count Wenstian is appointed Go. vernor of Gallicia. The circles of Billitt z, Cracow, 31yelawirc, Buchnier, and &Airliner, are placed by the Russiaus under separate administrations, all Magistrates retaining their posts, Ice. From this arrangement it is not imposzible that some dispute may arise at a future period between the Emperors of FaA &me anti RUSSIA ; —this to he sure is of slight importance, as Is; sPOLEON will continue to cajole the weak—infatuated —doge. nerale ALLIANDER—just so long a...the alliance is convenient—as the subserviency of the -Masco. vile is necessary—and only until the gigantic plans of NAPOLEON shall be sufficiently matured. —Were it not Si outrage upon common sense to couple the name of the wise Cr.-I - sus with the frivolous and puerile Ar.exasere, it might be said, that, like the " long-enduring" hero of the Odyssey, in the Cave of PuLvru EMUS--A LE.vor- DLit has the especial favour of being reserved fur the last morsel. On Thursday the li'alsinghan packet arri►ed at Faltnouth, in 17 days, from Lisbon. General CuAwrotte had arri►ed there from Portsmouth, with about 3000 men, as had also about the same number from Cork, the whole of which were en. camped in the neighbourhood of Lisbon. Sir A. WELLESLZY was understood to be on the Spanish frontiers, but bad not, as pre►iously stated, formed a julictiol with CULSTA, although he was on the eve of joittitig him. Fresh accounts la►e been reeei►ed from the Do. mega!, on board of which is Lord WELLIALEY, and the Suite of the Embassy to Spain, on the 261 b alt. to 6.40. W. lung. and 49.

'The Diary called 46 7%C True Ameri. via, or Commercial Adrerliscr," of the "2 fth of Jone s containing a copy of the Non.list.-rcouse Art, continued and amended as passed unani. mously by the Senate, excited much alarm, and produced a strong sensation in the market fur American pr►duce. It still be recollected, that the former Non Intercourse Act was merely tem porary, and would have died a natural death had its restrictions nut been renewed by this measure. The consequence of which would have been, that the trade would be thrown open with regard to both Great Britain and France, and we, who are supposixl by the Republican Government to have retracted our Orders in Council, should have no exclusive benefit resulting from such a concession. The new Act continues the provisions of the 11th Sect. of the former Act,. by which the Presi dent is empowered to prevent its operation with respect to the country revokincits'Orders or De erect. The clause is as follows : " Provided that nothing therein" (in this Act) 46 contained, shall be considered to prohibit any " trade or commercial intercourse; which has been 66 or may be permitted, in conformity with the " provisions of the 11th Sectimi of the ' 6 said" 46 (former) 64 Act." in the American Journal-to which we have re ferred, the revival of the Non-interceurse Act is considered as an affair of course. Had it - been a new measure against Great Britain, it would have been resisted in the Senate by the former oppo nents of the restrictions ; but the whole is passed over both in Congress and in the public papers, as a matter in the ordinary routine of business requir. in; nu uotiee. The following are extracts from letters respecting public concerna of some importance. U Norfolk, June 6th. " The flaytian brig Victore, *hose arrival was policed is oar last. has been, we understand, seized by the Cu.tom- hong., as a Frenen vessel *bade entry is forbiddt:n At law.

BRIGIIM4V, JULY 30. The melancholy close of the sports at Lewes yesterday is still the current theme of public ani madversion here. Poor Buckle, though cuusi. detect in a fair way of doing well, it is still fear. ed will be subject to a very long cunfinement. A gentleman of the name of Shoosmi!h, an ar. tist, of Chichcrtcr, had an unfortunate fall front his horse about a mile and a half front hence, iu returning from the Lewes Race-down yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, no Wines were broken ; but his head was so much hurt that he has hero confined to his bed ever since. To complete the chapter of accidents of yesterday, a gentleman, while bathing from the machines in front of \Val ker's Library, at about mid_Jay, got beyond his depth, and, nut being acquainted with the art of swimming, had nut a 6..herinau, who timely ilk. covered his perilous situation, rushed iwtaiitane. °wily to his assistance, he must Inevitably live perished.

The strong Southwest wind that predominated during the whole of yesterday, brought on rain towards the evening ; the Bteyne and the Libra. ries, consequently, had not to boast of their usual display of elegant cealpany.
