The- , Russian and Atu.trutn State Papers were laid yesterday before the House of Comusous. A Co of them is given in our preceding columns. The foriner consist of a series of five notes, of which the third and fifth are the most important. The third is from Genet.it 131.DBEIIGI to Lord G. LErrao■ Gowas, onr Ambassador at St. Peters burgh. It is dated Tilsit, June 30, 1807, and is a justification of the conduct of Ramis. in mak ing s separate avatar of • peace with France.— It is a detail of. some of the causes of complaint aguitrt tins country, reiterated in the Di, duration, which is before the public. 'I he fifth Note is from Mr. CANNING to M. ALOPILUS, the Russian Ambrosador at our Court, declining to accept the proffered mediation of Russia, until furnished with the secret Articles of Tilsit, and a statement of the laisiS open which France is de sirous to conclude a peace. It is already before the public, that these terms were proposed, but never complied ;with: 'Thii Note is dated London, sth of August, 1807, tour r3a)s alter the date of the Note of M. ALorEcs, to which it is an answer. .The Note of M. A torKes is dated Loudon • August 1. The Austrian set of papers con sists of ten Notes, and are much more in teresting than the Itussisti, the particulars being almost entirely new to the public. It appears, that so far back as the 18th of April, 1807, Count STaanzmartao proposed the mediation of Austria between Prussia, Russia, France, and Eigland. Mr. C4llllltwG took seven days to an swer this Note, the terms of which were accepted on the iSth. or the result we are not informed, and there is a chasm in the correspondence from that date to the Sloth November. In the interval thus passed over in silence, Russia and Prussia made peace with France; and we 6sid the Note of Count SisaRIIEMBLIG. of the srOth Nov. is an offer of the mediation of Austria between France and England alone. This offer was accepted in a note from Mr. CANNING, dated November 23. Here there iti another chasm until the Ist of January instant, on which day Count STAIR IIESIBEAG seat a note to Mr. CANNING, in which lc.. proposes to the English Government to send PleMpotentiaries immediately to Paris, and offers passports for tie purpeee. Mr. C*Wlllll4l* answer, Note VI. is a most important document. It desires to kome upon what authority Count Sr 111.111:M131.1W has made this pro;,osition ? It complain; that the formr ovneure, which was sic , cepted, Lad not liven followed up, nor is even no , ticed in the renewed oiler. It objects to the proposal, us not combining the Allies of Great Britain, and it refuses to send Plenipotentiaries to an hostile capital, or to open a negocintion any where, except in conjunction with His MAJESTY'4 Allies, and until a lasi* is ac.wed upon. This Note is dated the nth of January instant. Count STAR.. IILUBERG replied to it on the lith, in a Note de manding his passports. This Note was not received until the 15th, on which day Mr.Csurtrao inclosed the passports required. Such is the subutance of these important State Papers. We may now triumphantly appeal to them as irrefragable evidence of the coweetness and superiority of our sources of intelligence, which enabled ns to guard the public against the ignorance of our eni inpomries, who uniformly contended that the late correspondence, by flags of truce, was a private affair of the Princess STA/MUMMER°, and had notlang to do with a negotiation for peace. State Papers of more interest, and pregnant with more important consequences, have not appeared for a length of time. We have already adverted to Mr. Cm( rrisr.'s Note, No. VI. It is fall of matter; and it would not only be presump tuous, but unjust, to say, on a hasty perusal,that it is not fully borne out by facts. We wish, how ever, that there i►ad been a little more suavity in it—a little more of that kindness and temper ne cessary to dement the foe, and deprive• hies of all pretence to say that his overtures were not received in a perfect spirit of peace and conciliation. We received yesterday New York and Phi ladelphia Paper* to the 27th la,t. We have extracted from them all the commnnieations received from Washington to the :ail. including the Aut. of Embargo.

There is one thin:, however, which iu my mind is conclusive dint the measure is levelled at Great Britain, and the is, that,lllo linearity is both Houses, on the mteellon of laying the ansisago, com mond precisely with the ulna bees of the Federalists, and the names which have been giveu ia aisoppeising the Act, are the mostadistio:aished and leach ing men of that party.

It is generalty s.i 1; -that thesiispatches from France meet' the roost aufrien,*and hostile nature, inasmuch as that they insist upon a departure from th::t neutrality which it has hem the aim said the po licy of America to preserve. It is difficult to accolt,:ik. this with the ensekmboa, that the Embargo is poiatttl at Great Britain, warm oar Government is determined to stthscrike to the dictator of Prance, which I cannot tea lime to be she rase.

It does not appear that Mr. ROSE has arrived at Washington, although several vessels, which sailed 1 subsequent to ling departure in the Swim, have reached Amalie.. A great weight attaches to his mission. Never, perhaps, was a moment when a skilfrl negociator was more nece-,sary to the interests of country. In the prewat uncertain and wavering policy of the Crnitlpd•Btatees, superior diplomatic address may incline the-scale. Box PARTE, we fear, has seen this in time to avail him self of it, by attempting to conciliate America. He has hems for some time rather reluctant in enforcing his Decrees against American vessels in France and Holland. In several instances, we believe, where these Decrees were enforced, the veasela have been afterwards released. We are concerned to announce the rnss of the Sparkler gun brig, of 1 4 guns, Lieutenant i)E nNis, on the coast of llolland, on the lAth instant.— Dispatches comintinieating this ungTatefill intelli gence were receive,l, yrigerday, at the Admiralty.
