Vs' idle performing this act, I congratulate you stint our constituents upon an event is hich is highly hottourab:e to 1::e nation, and termi nates with peculiar felicity a campaign signalized by the most brilliant successes. " The late war, althoup,h rfluctantly declared by Congress, had become a necessary resort, to assert the rights and independence of the 'swim'. It has been w sged with a success w Itch is the natural re sult of the Let;islative counsels, of the patriotism of the people, of the public spit it of the militia, and of the valour of the military and naval forces of the country. Peace. at all tittles a itlessiog, is peculi. arl y welcome, thetefore, at a period when the causes of the war hate ceases! to operate; when the Government has demonstrated the efficiency of its powers of defence: and whets the nation can review its conduct without regret and without reproach. •• I recommend to %our care and beneficence the gallant men whose achievements, in every depart ment of military service, on the land and on the water, have essentially contributed to the American name, and to the restoration of pease. The feel ings of conscious patriotism and worth will animate each men, under every chnnge of fortune and par-. suit; but their country performs a duty of itself, when it bestows those testimonials of approbation and applause, which are, at once, the reward and the incentive to great actions. " The reduction of the public expenditures to the demands of a peace establishment, will doubtless engage the immediate attention of Congress. There are, however, important considerations which forbid a sudden and general revocation of the measures that have been produced by the war. Experience has taught us, that neither the pacific dispositions of the American people, nor the pacific charact,- politacnl institutions, can altogether e; frt m that strife which appears, beyond t lot of stations to be incident to the actus the world ; and the same faithful moult strafes that certain degree of preparation not only indispensable to avert disaster it but atfords also the best security for the t csf peat?. The wisdom of Congress, wit'. I am confident provide for the untintenai adequate regular force; for the gradual the naval establishment ; for imprositig al of harhour defence; for adding discipline tist4oi•lied bravery of the militia ; and for the military art iii its essential branches ut beret p.itronage of Goverment.

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, Feb. 4, from Smith, Corsey, and Co. to one of the firm in this town :—" We are now tranquil, and the enemy are at Ship Island on hoard their fleet, said to be building boats.

" Since my last the enemy has embarked the whole of his army, and is now olf Ship Island. Our pri soners have been exchanged—those of of our com- Riny who had been taken, arrived two days ago.— Among them were G. V. Ogden, Pollock, Lynn, Laverty, Dr. Cochrane, &c. Dr. Flood went to the fleet to attend them. They stole that the enemy is occupied in buildiug a number of boats, and is be lieved to be scarce of provisions. We cannot yet ascertain whether or not be intends paying us an other visit. I think it probable that tie either ex pects and is waiting for a supply of provisions to move off, or is waiting a reinforcement. ft he could not succeed after landing his whole force, it is not probable that he will again attempt it with a dis!ieart coed remnant of a shattered army, and against an augmented and spirited force. Mr. Ogden says that the enemy landed 15,000 troops, 11,000 of the line and 4000 marines and sailors. Dr. Flood states, that from what he saw when on board their fleet, he thinks they must hare nearly 1500 wounded. He understood they had lost a great number, say 3 or 400 in drowned, while passing from and to their shipping, that one of their boats, with 80 men, sunk, and not a soul saved. " We have been most providentially saved._ I M AAR: have been three day Finance, them.

VENICE, MARCH 11.—We are assured that the Austrian Government has sent 15,000 men as a rein ' forcement to Italy. General Bianchi is expected at Venice, to succerd the Prince of Reuss, who is ill, in the command of that city. MARCH 15.—They speak of the arrival of 6000 Neapolitans at Ancona, and it is added, that the Rine of Naples is there at their head. TRIETE, MARCII 0.-011 the first news of the departure of Napoleon from the Isle of Elba, a great agitation prevailed amongst every class of people.— All commercial operations were suspended ; and every body was occupied with political intelligence. ' The few Italian regiments which were in Italy have been sent to Hungary, and are to be replaced by 40,000 men, the advanced guard of which are al ' ready arrived. Tile addresses from the army continue to pour into the off►ce of the Minister of War in countless num bers. Amongst what have been received ssithin thi , se few days, are those from the different regiments quartet! at Lisle, Mezieres, Alontmedy, Vesoul, Sedan, Amiens, Arras, Valenciennes, Toni, St. Michel, Civet, Calais, Arras, Bar-sur-Aunoin, Be , sancta'', Venues, Nancy, Lons-le-Sauliner, Argentum, Laval, Metz, and several other towns. +,,• Mr. Lovett. has the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of several communications from uhkoown friends, who have been pleased to express their approbation of his political conduct during his long, captivity, surrounded as he has been by difficulties and dangers almost innumerable ; and he, begs leave to assure them, that so long as he has the honour of con ducting an independent Journal, the principles upon which he has hitherto uniformly acted, will nut he shaken by adver sity, although he has no wish to conceal from the liberal and enli2htened part of the Public, that he hag, with great ficulty, been able to withstaud the load of oppression which has been heaped upon him. Mr. LOVETT. hopes that his imprisonment is drawing to a con; elusion, that he may once more breathe the free air; and that he may enjoy, in the decline of life, a small po: lion of peace and tianqu illity., of which, by his long incarceration, arrests continue.

The Doe act) Flanders Papers received to-day, which we subj„ in, represent the armaments destined against France a s exceedingly formidable, and make us acquaintrAl with a curious and important pat4icitlar, which will account for King Louts's stay on the Contit?tit,and the readiness which our Ministers hate shown to renew the war in his support. It is stated th, t TaLt.x.YttAND has adduced a secret article of th e Treaty of Paris, by which the Powers ,silo signed that Treaty engage to assist the Bourbons in case of insurrections. It is also stated, that in consequence of th:s a Convention has been concluded within these few days, by which England, Austria, Russia, a d Prussia engage to march to the Rhine a number of troops pro rtioned to their respecti ve f otcP, sad that they. ~ptee the Crown of F ranc e to Hie Bourboalf, : declare that their ca use i s t : !e ca se of Europe : rt has certainly been c ons id ered so too i lo long.
