L 0 N D 0 N, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1812. • We yesterday laid before our Readers • the Message of Mr. - INlAnniooN'to Congress, which may " ( be considered' as the Manifesto of the Ame rican Government. • In this Document Mr..MAD . DrsoN recapitulates all the subjects of complaint against this country, which have been so often urged and so often refuted, but he cautiously avoids answering any of the charges which have been preferred against the American . Govern ment, for the decided , partiality which it had manifested towards France, and for the various acts of aggression which it has either adopted or encouraged against Great Britain. Mr. MADDI soN begins, by complaining that our cruizers search American ships for British . subjects ; this practice he calls " a crying enormity," but lie forgets to state, that our Government aban doned its claim to search American ships of war,. and to add, that British seamen were, by 'the most barefaced and contemptible frauds, invested with the character of American citizens, and that in that character the American Govern . ment refused to give them up. Mr. :11.ADDISON complains of our blockades, latit'hc forgets to add, that our blockade); Would not 'have injured the Americans, if they had adhered to the character of neutrals, and had not endeavoured to carry on }th intercourse with one of the Belligerents in time of vrar, which that power would not have suffered her to carry on in time of peace. When our fleets had swept the merchant ships of France from the ocean, and either captured or shut up her ships of war in her ports, the Americans, • though neu-. trals, wished to supply the place of the destroyed marine of France, to carry on the trade between the mother country and the colonies, nay to carry on the coasting trade of France. hi time of peace, France - Would net stiffer her to carry on such a trade, and yet the Americans complain be cfuse we would not permit it to, be carried on in time of war. , If. a neutral does not lose any of her rights because any two Powers may be at war, she does not acquire any new ones certainly she cannot acquire thft right of affording to one of the Belligerents all the assistance of an ally while she enjoys all the security of a neutral. The American Government, however, seemed to have entertain ed a most extravagant notion of the rights, andia very imperfect one, indeed, of the duties of a neu tral. With respect to the Orders in Council, we still retain the opinion which we have always expressed; but as Government has, under all the circumstances of the case, thought proper to revoke them, it is not now necessary to discuss that part of the ques tion. Mr. TiIADDISON say; " there was a period when a favourable change in the policy of the Bri- tish Cabinet was justly considered as established, r but the prospect vanished.;" he might have added, that a Treaty between the two countries was signed, aad that it was rejected by the Government ~ of America, although the stipulations of that Treaty were most favourable to America. The charge wbicb 41r. AEDDISON prefers against Great Bri- Ain for iustigating theludiaus to gt) to war with • :~ the United States, would not deserve nntice, 'lf it were not for the extraordinary_ manner in Which it has been introduced—a manner, we believe, al ' most without.a precedent in any State Paper.— The Indians (says the Manifesto) have:cow . pitted . hostilities against the subjects of . the. United States ; it 'is difficult to account for their hostilly, Unless we suppose that they /are instigated by Great Britain ; therefore, it follows. of course, that they hare been instigated by Great Britain ! Here again: Mr. MADDISON ,forgets to statt; that a discussion upon this very point took place a short time ago, that all interference on 'our part was positively denied: There Ls tan admission in the conclud ing part of this Manifesto, which we did not expect -to find; but which is most import ant. The hostile measures which America has of - late adopted ,towards this' country, have been adopted .upon this pretext, that France had revoked her Berlin and Milap Decrees, and that we would- hot rescind our Orders in Council : it was in vain that it was urged, that those De crees were neither repealed in form or in substance ; the . American Government insisted, that they were repealed, and so did several ()lour patriotic Orators in this Country. Mr. MAD rnsoN is, however, now forced "to admit that the Berlin and Milan Decrees are not repealed, not indeed in so many Avoids, but by a: very' ludicrous . . . periphrasis. sin c e the rerocatioit of the "Decrees, says • he, the French Government has authorised illegal captures by its privateers and public ships; and other. outrages have been practised - upon the vessels and citizens of America.; that is to say, he admits that America has no right to call upon us to revoke our Orders in Coun- cil till France has revoked her Decrees—he ad mits, that France still acts upon her Decrees--and yet America goes to war with Great Britain be cause she will not ,rescind her Orders in Council ; and lives in amity with France, whose Govern ment is authorizing fhe illegal capture "of Ameri- , can vessels and the commission of outrages upon 'American. subjects !---So much for the imparti-, alit) , of the American Government. A Cabinet Council. was held yesterday, in con sequence of the arrival of this intelligence from America, and orders, we Understand, were issued to biing in and detain all American vessels. The Mails were all kept back last night, in order that instructions to that effect might be sent to the out-ports. Yesterday, 'about twelve o;clock, the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the Duke s of CUMBER LAND, left town "for Oatlands, to dine with the Duke and Duchess of YORK. The QuliEN', the PRINCESSES', and a numerous party, were to be present. • Lieutenant-General WiNyAno is to proceed to Scotland immediately, in order to take the com mand thefe during time absence of Lord CATHCART, as Ambassador to Russia. It _was•reported on 'Change that letters had been received from, the Caraccas, containing-an account of-the troops of the Insurgents having surrendered themselves prisoners to the troops of the Mother Country ; and that MIRANDA had been seized and cut to pieces. • We have seen a letter from Gijon, dated the 22d instant, which speaks in sanguine terms of the brightening prospects in that part of the Pe ninsUla. The patriots were in hopes that through flip combined efforts of our squadron, and the guerillas, the shores of the Bay of Biscay, with the exception Of St. Sebastian's; would be cleared of the enemy's garrisons. Twelve sail of American vessels, with their car goes,. were condemned yesterday morning by Sir WM. SCOTT, Judge of the Admiralty Court.- As soon as the American Declaration of War was known at Halifax, Admiral SAWYER dis patched one ship of - the line and five frigatesfor the coast. of America, and -on their voyage they re captured two American vessels which had been brought in -by the Belvidcra, and notified released by the Admiral. The event was notified to the inhabitants of Nova Scotia in the following PROCLAMATION BY'HIS,EXELLENCY 'LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR JOHN COAPE SHERBROOKE, KNIGHT OF THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF TILE BATH, LIEU- TENANT-GOVERNOR AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF' IN AND OVER MS 'MAJESTY', PROVIN4F, OF 'r OVA SC . O . T/A AND ITS DEPENDENCIES, &C. &C. " Whereas: the Government of the United States of America, by Act of Congress, on the Sth day of• June last, - has declared War against the United Kingdom of Great :Britain and Ireland, and it is expedient that this Act should be made as public as possible in the Province under my go vernment.. I have, therefore, thon - Akiit fit, by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Coun cil, to issue this Proclamation, in order to.make known the said Declaration, that his Majesty's subjects, having this notice, may govern them selves accordingly. - " Given under my Hand and Seal, and Arms, at Halifax, the first of Ju1y,.1812, in the 52d year.of his Majesty's reign. " J. C. SIIERBiIOOKF, • ". By his Excellency's command." We are glad to find that the public, are likely to be again gratified by the talents of Mrs, 3011.. DAN. It was understood, when a late separation took place, that by the consequent pecuniary ar rangements, she was precluded from appearing any more upon the stage. This stipulation, how ever, we understand; has now been relinquished, in order to give this great comic actress an oppor tunity of gratifying the public, and 9f ittiptoving latc awn dotnestic comforts. SECOND 1:?,DITION. SUN-OFFICE, THREE O'CLO CK We stop the Press to - inform our. Readers,.tbx a Treaty of Peace has been signed 'between this Country, Russia, and Sweden. Dispatches fron Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ,, communicating this im portant event, have just been received at the Ad miralty, brought by Lieut. DOBREE. Th e above-mentioned Treaty, we understand, *was signed on the, 19th inst, ; we cannot, of course, be expected to state the terms, but we are assured that they concede nothing inconsistent with the honour and interest of this Country. LINA, DOBREE left Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ on the 21st. inst. ; at that time no further news had been received from the Russian Armies. By a private letter from Upper Canada, we learn, that the. American troops had made an at- tack upon the British force in that nuarter ; but had been repulsed; with loss, by a detaehment of the Alst Regiment. Nothing has yet reached Government in confirmation of this 'intelligence. NAVAL NEWS. PLYMOUTH, Ju 29.—Arrived the Triton; belonging to London, RICIIiiRDSON, Master, from Prince Edward Island, with a cargo. Of timber ; for this port ; came a running ship, 33 days passage : left loading the Blessing, belong in& to - Sunderland, and the Lisbon Packet, both, bound to Topsham, and the, Digna, bound to Workington, which were expected to sail in a few days.

Sailed the Amerian brig John, TURNER, for Boston, with passengers ; and a few "coasting vessels to the Westward.

Bowr.Es, to St. Petersburgh. His Lordship went off in the Admiral's barge this morning, for'the purpose of embarking, and approached sufficiently near 'the frigate to receive the salute, but owing to the strength of the tide, the barge could not fetch her, and is returned. POOLE, JULY 30:—Arrived the Alphia, .11A1mEa, from Newfoundland ; left Trinityfifteen days since; the Two Brothers for this port was, expected to sail three days after the Alphia left.

Considering the 'con tracted scale of this :Theatre, - ..and the - nature of a_Pantominte, it- is, really extraordinary that an entertainment of this kind can be brought for ward in sitch.a.Theatrc, as. so much space is ne cessary for the• variety of incidents, tricks, ma chinery, Sic. Rce. which essentially constitute the species of amusement. But the Spirit;enterprize, and liberality, which characterize themanagement of this Theatre h ave overcome all difficulties, and the Pantomime of la st night has very strongiCe.ornmen dations to public favour:. The juvenile part.of the public will, orcourse, be agreeably surprised with an illustration of the at song " Jack alai Jill, Bx," and those of-maturer age, who are not fastidious, will certainly participate in the pleasure.; Harlequin was performed by Mr. HOLLINGSWOIitH, who is well-known at other theatres, but made his first appearance last night at this. He is active, and acquitted hithself very well. Miss VALIANCY was the Columbine,, arid Mr. KI.RBY the Clown. The last gets into many whimsical difficulties, and, the piece altogether afforded much entertainment to a numerous audience, by whom it was very warmly applauded. The-last scene, representing the Pa lace of Fortune, was very mlgnificent, appro priate, and picturesque. mRENCII PAPERS. PARIS, Ivry' 20.—. , Yesterdaf her Majesty th e Empress walked at six o'clock it the evening, i ll , the , park of St. Cloud, amidst an im m e ns e crow" assembled from Paris and front ,its environs, enjoy the presence of their august Sovereign: Palos, JuLr is -by no means certain; say the letters front \Vilna, of the Bth of JulY' that Prince Bagratiou eau rejoin the army of the right on the Duna ; and in that case the situa tion of the clussiatis•would be still more distress ing. The manner in which they retire, shew 6 that they have no plan. They march without order, and with a confusion which spews dead,' that they have no system of retreat. ,4t is dit cult to understand, or to conceive this manner 0' acting, aftento many menaces and prdparatiou 3, which appeared.to announce a n i n t en ti on t o ac t ' on the offensive, or at least to.defend the passag e of a great river, and to maintain themselves in a vast,province: Wha appears certain is, that the• enemy did not expect to see the French army _s ° soon. Its rapid arrival on the Niemen, has We ll like a thunder-stroke, which lids 'thrown confu sion and doubts into the Russian Councils. r il e whole army i s i n th e gra nd est con di t i on , u o" , burns with .desite to come hand to baud with th e enemy. At a moment when all eyes are fixed upon .the Grand Army; it is interesting to reflect, that not' withstanding the distan ces , there ri is a very promPC and easy 'train of communication between that army and the States which support it with their resources. This train of comniunicatioa is fbnui d by the rivers, lakes•and canals, in a rep 1-tr witY , and, by means of a wise and regular Administra" tion, the magazines of the grand army, Accordit4 as they empty themselves from the Vistula hit ° the Niemen, are filled anew by fresh supplie s poureee, in successively froM'all . plaees w ith whieb this _extensive line of navigation communicates .
