Tilt Sm S From the Anholt mail which arrived yesterday, w have some furtherinformation frees the Baltic. . - Pri Tate letters from Riga to the 4th inst. state that th French had commenced their retreat from Wilna; and by the same communication we are informed, that 5000 Prussians had deserted from the French, and having killed their Gmseral, had entered Riga, and offered their services to the Governor; but other letters, both of that date, and several days later, make not the least mention of any such circum stances; and therefore we place no faith is any such reports. , —By the same conveyance, it is stated, that M. NOVOSILTZOPF had been ap pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, and that ills departure was shortly especteci. The Russian Government had notified, that all British property under sequestiatlon would be immediately restored.—We also learn, that Sir JAMES SAUMARE 7 was almost every day on shore at Gotteuburgh ; and peace between Sweden and Great Britain was ex pected to be proclaimed at Orebro on the 7th of this month. By the Tetersburgh Gavtie of the 3d inst. we re ceive the First Bulletin of the Russian Army, which will be found in our preceding columns. It men tions, that in consequence of the masterly movements of BONAPARTE, ALEXANDER ordered his troops to concentrate, and all the corps in advance were under the neceoiN of falling back; at the same time, to effect this concentration of their forces, it was found necessary for a short time to evacuate Wilna. FrOm this acknowledgment, we are induced to believe, that the preseut operations of the Russian army have been from necessity, and not the result of mature de liberation. The Exchange at Petersburgh was advanced to 15d. and the trade, in articles of import, especially sugars, was extremely active. Thu restortdon o( the Crown of Poland, or rather the resturatiets or Poland itself, is a subject to which the ply of Ose atiiotic writer wilt often retie.

Two et the eagles that poutict d upon her have been shorn of their plumage; and the thild is now breathless, awl fingering with the weight of its cricAss, against this tong oppressed and unhappy lam'. Poland is restored to her political existence! but by what hand has this national resurrection been brought about? our enemy. Then, shall we dare to rejeice at the event, when it is remembered, too, that England contributed to her ruin—that Engiat:tl lent her aid iadirectit.g the destructive thunder that St.tbrutql for met to hx her destiny in political nntallation ? Yet, it is possible, that even our enemy tnaj sometimes let , and when at happens, generosity will rejoice at the event. It is curious to see Great Britain exerting all her nighty strength to restore a kingdom that NAPO- Lunt has cruelly oppressed, while the latter is rats leg another kingdom from the grave, that England, by her subsidies, contributed to destroy. We vitt not,at this moment, call the motives of either into question—they may be both. acting r;ght. But, vial is ALEXANDUL doing ? He, as his powerfUl opponent observuel, seems to be led on by his des tiny. lie has long opposed his hostile and barbarous its;ions against the 'larks, for the purpose of Cresting from the hands of the jotter some of the twst provinces on the face of the habitable globe—tile fertile plains and vivifying sun-beams of the South, constantly draw his attention from the room region of the North—be thirsts to chive the Crescent from the towers of Constantino. I ,l e, and to plant thereon the Impesial Eagle of all te itussias; but the object of his most ardent am is constantly slipping from his grasp. Baffled by the arms and feeble energies of the Turks, and unable, even with them, to conclude an honourable pace, he has been .mad enough again to enter the lists with his late potent conqueror, whit* the bloody plaius of Friedland still haunt the imagination of his troops. Distractious in his Cousscil.of State carry concomitant distractions into his Coast:it of Offi cers ; his Genetats fly for safety, and seek to destroy the immense stores, the collection of which has cost the toil of two laborions years ; while the Poles ) the enraged Poles, are rising from under his feet, and demanding vengeance for fifty years sufferings and wrongs, lie may issue Proclamations to the m,-and Call them his Loring . ftibjeds ; and they will answer him by saying, *vaunt Tyrant! We early Accounts were received frout• Curacoa to the of May. By these we limn that a Gorernmem force from Coro, having obtained possession of Va lencia, General MIR %wet was proceeding against that city with all the troops he Could collect, in or der, if possible, to retake it. The American Government - , It Is said,, demands the restoration of 15,000 American seamen, whose names are mentioned, as being in the employ of Great Britain. They also demanded a large sum of money as a remuneration for the services of such seamen. On the 21st of May last, Mltts. attacked an ene my's column, consisting of 2300 infantry and nlBO horse, conducting a large park of heavy artillery to France, by the way of Tolosa and Vittoria. MINA himself attacked the rear with his cavalry, and Can c Pao A, his braveassociate, advanced oa their front. — The gallant CauctiAoa was mortally wounded by a cannon-ball, which for a while damped the ardour of his'troops, who had followed Mm into the heat of the action with undaunted enthusiasm. He war still able, hower-r, to animate them by his voice, and they succeeded at length in driving the Vends' before them in great disorder. Sixty waggon with wounded French, besides a great quantity of baggage, fell into the bands of the Guerillas oa this occasion. Next day, when the intelligence of CaecuAeo's death was made known to the troops, they renewed their pursuit of the French- columns with similar success, and on the 23d they completely succeeded in driving them into Pampeluua.
