What is due to him, in particular from Montgomery, and from every in habitant of Maryland, who knows how to value his former serVices, and who deplores him the more on account of the manner is which he was cut off?

PEACE WITH - AURICA. - • • FALMOUTH, sun. 15. We have to announcithe hiportant and agreeable intelligence of AmcntcA hails% revoked the DECLA. nATtan or Win against England, as will appear by the following Letter, which we received from a Cot. respondent at Liverponi this morning; and, from the respectable channel by which it waienmcgogiqited to us, we have no doubt of its nuthentiesly,sl.44 , ' His Majesty's ketch Gleaner, 10 guns, arrived off the Land's End this morning, with dispatches from , America. The Messenger, in charge of the dis patches, arrived here about three o'clock this after noon, and went off again immediately in a post-chaise and four for London. The Gleaner left New York the 15th ult. and Halifax the 26th. At the time she left New York, every appearance was of the most hostile nature, and no alteration had taken place in consequence of the notice of the revocation of the Orders in Council ; and amongst the well informed of New York, it was not expected that any alteration would take place, so long as President MADISON remained in power. Parties run very high in the United States, and very serious dig. turbances were apprehended between the Fede ralists and their opponents, who wive very violent. No accounts had been received at New York of Commodore ROMER'S squadron, and the Americans were much alarmed for them ; three large privateers were carried into Halifax the 25th ult. and that harbour was crowded with American prizes. His Majesty's ship Belvidere had been chased into the harbour of Halifax by two American frigates, and after landing 200 American prisoners, had, in company with a sloop of war, sailed in quest of the I American frigates. Ills Majesty's ship' Indian s 18 guns, with a convoy of 40 sail from St. John's, New Brunswick, had _arrived at Halifax and were to sail for England the day after the Ciiitret. WAGNEU, the Editor of the Baltimore Federal Re. publican paper, had established his press at George Town near Washington, where he continued to publish, and where he was supported by a strong party of Federalists. . 4 iVPOOLIrPv.AR A vessel, called the Generai-Wafhinglori, k just arrived from America in two-and-twenty' days, bring. iAg the agreeable news of Peace. The PRESIDENT Called a Meeting of the House of Assembly, when the Declaration of War was revoked by a majority of 53 to 36. We have received further French Papers to the 12th instant, containing the Fifteenth Bulletin of the Grand Army, dated the '27th pit, which will be found important, although no fresh battle had taken place. The Bulletin Is dated Slawkovo, on the road to Moscow, and it appears that NAPOLEON intends to make a detour to avoid the Forest of Volkonskelles. The loss of the Russians in the defence of Sin°. lensko and the battle of Valentina, is stated in the Bulletin to amount from 25 to 30,000 men. It is probable the above statement may be exaggerated, but it is erideut that the French are rapidly advanc. • ing to Moscow, where, as we have Wore stated, it is probable the campaign will terminate, A Mail from Halifax has arrived, op to the 25th ult. which corroborate the probability of an arnica ble adjustment taking place ; and states, that an Ar mistice, or•Suspentlan of Arms, was proposed by the Governor-General of Canada, till an answer should be obtained from the American Government respect ing overtures made by the British Court.--The fol. lowing are extracts We this morning received the following letter from our Correspondent at Dover : Scrr. 17. It seems to be much doubted by the Couri e r, that the passengeri who came from Calais, In the Sarah Ilekaa,. had' seen the 15th Bulletin before they quitted. that place; but to this I can add, that they natonly saw it, but also read the Monileur, into which it was copied, and bore date the Ist instant. Thera - certainly were no rejoicings on the occasion, nor the least manifestation of pleasure visible in the countenances of.the inhabitants of Calais. One of the pi tr le 9g ers had possessed himself of a Bulletin, but It wits taken from him by the Commissary, who load wieitg Proclamation, addressed to the Ladies knd Gentlemen, stating, as they were then going to Anseriestr ind might, perhaps, pass over to England catsthe Mine gine be well knew the vessel was corning • • . s - to this country) they would not fail to make known the universal successes of their Emecaon, at the same time cautioning them, that should the slightest word derogatory to the honour of the EMPEROR, or the interest of the great Empire, escape their lips, agents were employed all over the world, who would note and send an account of their actions, and their pu nishment would be according. It is astonishing what methods they have of circulating through the coun try the most partial victory over their enemy ; snuff— boxes with plans of the attack, and maps of the si toation where the engagement took place, are sent to every shop, and sold at 12 sous ; one of these was purchased by a passenger, and shown me; it contained a map of the Mission Empire on the lid, and particularly noticed the place where the French I had arrived. Nothing public was known at Calais of the en. trance of our army into Madrid, though it wa, pored every where, and currently stated, that MAP. most died two days after the battle of Salamancs, of his wounds. In the war with Austria and Russia the Tr.lnch used to send Bulletins of their success, put into a cask or keg, corked up and put afloat for our boat; to pick up, it is therefore to he wondered that they have not had recourse to their old expedient, after the many great battles they have won in Spain and Russia, lately puliished in their Bulletins. Letters from Cuellar and Madrid, of the 27th tilt : are said to mention, that " the Marquis of Wm- LINGTON had reinforced General Custroiv, at Cuel. lar, with the 4241 and Wid regiments ; and no doubt was entertained of the General being able to keep the remains of MARMONT'S army in complete check. Our troops, from the great exertions made, wanted a little rest before they recommenced very active ope. rations •, but that part of the euemfs army whic h they had driven before them, required rest fully as much. Gen. lltr.r. was at his former position on the 2.lth ult. Col. STIRLING, of the 42d, has been ap pointed to the command of a brigade.

They are extremely soft, and are, as it were, curved from the arm pits towards the sternum, ; so that the two ends meet, notwithstanding which curvation, they resemble the breasts of a woman.— : The muscles of this enormous child are a soft light fat, which feels like begs' lard, and covers the fleshy part. It would appear as if all the vital powers were directed to the development of fat. at the expence of the muscles and bones. The back is covered with a mass of soft fat, which floats us it were beneath tit • skin. It is easily tram* up by the hand in distinct masses.

Parliament met a few days ago, for the purpose of considering the perilous situation of the country. The Nobility unanimously re- . solved, and announced it with acclamation, that the feudal system should be abolished ; that they would give op all their rights and privileges ; and that the peasantry and themselves should enjoy the same laws. They further declare the Sicilian Constitution de cayed, and that it was necessary to form a new one after that of England ; that the Parliament should consist of Lords and Commons, and that the King should not have power to do any thing n ithout the T6nitchrbt The - Partiarnent ; that the Jodgets-shosild be declared independent, and appointed for life.— Lord W.
