Admiralty-qffice, July 18, 1812. Copy of a Letter from Captain Ross, of his 111ajestr's Sloop Brisels, addressed to 'Rear-Admiral Martin, and trans mitted by Vice-Admiral Sir James Sautaarez to Jobti Wilson Croker, hag, SIR, His Majesty's Sloop 131-iseis, off Nan, •June 29, 1311. I have the . honour to inform you ; that, in pursuance of your orders, I stood in yeiterday to communicate with the merchant vessel Urania in Pillau Roads, when I perceived . her to be in possession of the French troops ; and thatit was intended to destroy her on our approach : I tack ed and stood off,. judging _it the most likely way to.savethe ship (which was employed by Messrs. Willy and Son on'the part of Government) from destruction, and the remainder of her cargo from falling into .the hands of the enemy, to Surprise her in the night. _Lieutenant Thomas JOnes7(2d), First of the Briseis ; Palmer; Midshipman, and' 18 men, were sent in the pinnace on that service at midnight; when. Within pist9l-Shot, they were hailed and fired upon by the enemy,- who had six guns and. four swivels on board the Ura nia, which was surrounded by craft and boats ; but every obstacle was overcome by the gallantry of Lieutenant Jones and his crew, who gave three cheers, boarded . over the craft, and drove the enemy off deck into their boats on the opposite side, leaving behind part of their arms ; the ca ble was then cut, and she was brought out, to gether with a French scout that was employed un loading her.. On our side I have to regret the loss of one s saman (John Cooper) killed; Joseph Cook, .ericarit of royal. marines, _badly ; Mr. Palmer, Midshipman ; and one seaman (Robert Starkins) atightly wounded ; but the enemy must have suf. feree far ,more severely, from being exposed, in their turn, to the fire from the Urania after they had abaudonea her. • • I am, Sze • JOHN ROSS, Commander. t• Rear-Admiral T. 13.

We this morning received the following im portant Letter from Liverpool, dated the 18th ,nst:— I hare to advise you that a pilot-boat has ar. rived here to-day from New York, which she left on the 23d June, bringing accounts that the Se nate, after deliberating 7 days, _had come to the resolution of declaring war against Great Britain, 19 to 13. "An express had -arrived at New-York, to Major Bx,OO:+iFrELD, which he read at the . head of his army, formally announcing that the United States had declared war against Great Britain. " I think it proper to add; however, that the Houses in New York, which dispatched the pilot-b'oat with this information, for the pur pose of- Making speculations in produce, pressly ordered that, should the Orders in CoUn , cif - be revoked, their * friends here (Liverpool) were on no account to make any purchase§ for them : this is a proof that this decla ration of war will be r,epealed on the arrival of the: Gazette containing the revocation of the Orders in Council. The Mae/care' schooner had been dispatched from New York, by Mr. FOSTER, direct for Fal inoutli, the day before the pilot boat tailed.— When tlie Senate came to the declaration of war, the account of Mr. PERCEVACS death was not known at Washington, but it was known at New York" A fetter arrived 'at Lloyd's thii day mar , ..1 the ab.Ove.. Just before this Paper was - put to press, we re ceived the following important intelligence from Portugal (From the Telegrafo Portugucz of the 14th July.) INTELLIGENCE FROM OUR ARMY. 31 - ARmoNT on the 20th appeared a quarter of a league in front of our line, with from 30 to 35,000 men. • On the 22d, he attempted to attack our right, but - did not succeed, being immediately repulsed 'with considerabre loss. On the same clay he made a general review of the troops, and on the following clay made - a Movement, upon our ' right side,. when sup posing, that it was his intehtion to • pass" to the left side of the Tormes, 'some divi sions of infantry ,and two - brigades of caval dry pursued his trak , in observation. this skirmish we lost a considerable number of men, principally belonging to the 15th dragoons, which were ahnost entirely destroyed. On the 2d, some of the enemy's columns ap peared in front of our line, but disappeared on the appearance of 2,000 'of our horse, although protected by flying artillery. We this morning received Lisbon Papers, from Which we have made several extracts. MARMONT has retreated in two divisions, and the French, aQcording to the last accounts, were evacuating the Asturias. It does not appear that any ma terial change has taken plane in the pOsitions of Generals Hir.r.. and SOULT. We 'rejoice to find• that the fact of our troops from Sicily having lalAra "Catalonia, is 'confirmed-. They ilthibt, •give a decisive turn to the War in that quarter. • W regret that we are unable. to communicate to our readers any further intelligence respeging the movements of .the French troops. in Russia. It is stated that a, Gentleman has arrived from France, who declares, that before he came away he had seen the, Fourth Bulletin, which was dated Wilna, into which place the French had e n t er ed without opposition. The Bulletin did not mention that any skirmishes had taken place, but merely says, that the - Russians continue their retreat. What degree of credit is due to this report we really 'do not know.; all we can say upon the subject is, Chat it is probable. The important fact, however, of the desertion of two entire Prussian Regiments is confirmed. They form ed the advanced • guard of •Marshal MAcno • NALD'.S DiviSion, and availed themselves of the opportunity which their . situation' afforded them, of going over to the Russians. MACDONALD sent . 80113 C cavalry ` after them, but they were too late. The next , mail from the North will probably bring us an account' of the moyement of 'the French army from we shad then be able to form sonic notion of the plan BuQNAPARICE means to pursue. If he marches upiinPetersburgh,which its all probability he will, Li the hopes of forcing the , Bmperor ALEXANDER to _risk a_. battle to save capital, he will have near four hun dred miles of country to pass over, a great portion of which is nearly desOlate by na ture, and which the -Russian Generals - *ill render completely so. This is the first tine BUONAPARTE, has had to conduct this species of warfare (for hitherto his enemies have always met his wishes,- by placing •the fate of the war upon the event. of a battle), and we do not entertain the -slightest doubt, ,that, if - the Russians persevere in their - System, will be driven from Russia, as • TgASSENA was from Por tugal, with loss and disgrace. The letters - from , Berlin state, that the King of PRtssiA is sur rounded by French officers, and that he is in ef fect a prisoner in his own capital. WINDSOR, /ULY 18.—Thursday afternoon the QUEEN and PRINCESSES took an airing in a ba rouche and four to Maidenhead. Princess \CHAR LOTTE drove her four greys in the afternoon in the Great Park.

The patience and the mildness With which she endured a very-long and Most painful illness, brought on by a succession of anxieties, excited the admiration of-all who be held them. Through life she possessed and prac .tised every virtue that can adorn the character of a wife, a relation, or a- friend, and by 'all who were acquainted with her, will ever be most ten derly and.utfectionately lamented. It was somewhat ludicrously said by an Irish Member, that the new impost upon leather would so much increasd.the price of shoes that it might be considered as a general gold -tax. _ • SECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, ITALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK. Dispatches were received thi, morning from the Earl of Wm:rat/GT.Ox, dated 30th Ult.

Ms Lordship'' aavaneed guard _had, daily skirmishes ,with the rear of 12ARM22;t's army, which was in full re' treat. We have rtuch satisfacti in stating, that-V Portuguese had conducted thernselves .with gt' 2l ` t gallantry. They had been generally in frcnt sv;t h the British, and on all occasions had hcimve'l most nobly. The loss of :the Allied Army in the_ sever 4 skirmishes, had been , very slight ; and they toe' a considerable number of prisoners. It was 00' derstood to be the intention of the Bari of WE eLizgl" TAN to pursue MARISIONT to Valladolid, where biS Lordship intended to establish his head-quart leaving behind him a chain of strong positions, order to secure a communication with Portugal..
