THE BRITISH PRESS.

We have receiv.:d Dutch Papers to the 2J inst.
and French to the 26:h last, con;aioing a Copy of
the Treaty between France and Russia. This im-
portant document was laid before the French Senate
at Paris, on the ties, with a speech by the A a cot-
C aaaaa LLoa. It contains twenty-nine Articles.
the majori:y of which are only a repetition and
confirmation of the Treaty between France and
?lonia. By that Treaty Prussia was cat down
to the rook of a third-rate polder. and restored to a
merell nominal independence and precarious exist-
ents. To be thus humbled and degraded is not,
however, mortification enongh for the unfortunate
Founcicg. Boa•rawre appears not to have
forgoten his threat to send the ROT AL FAMILY us
Prussia to beg their bread, and the Treaty t”-
torte. France and Russia is made to commence
eV, an assurance, that even the little that is left
ti that Prince. is a boon for which he indebted
to the esteem which the Victor entertains for the
Rue lAN Eversion. The only new territorial
change stipu.ated by the present Treaty, is the
cession of the Lordship of Jevar by Russia to the
King of HOLLAND. It also stipulates. that hosti-
lities shall immediately cease between Russia and
Turkey, that the former shall evacuate the Turkish
Province of Moldavia, and accept Cie mediation
of Fri Ica for the purpose of negotiating a peace
between the two Powers. But the 13th Arti-
cle i. that of greatest interest to an English reader—
Br "the taperer NAPOLEON accepts of the raeJi.r•
on of tite Emperor of all the Russt•s. to regortate and

sequence, experienced an advance on Saturday even.
sag. Arid here it may not be irrelevant to notice
the condui of the Treasury Journals last week.—
Mora than ooze they confidently asserted, that
(Lvernment had received a copy of the Rut-
: is Treaty, and that it was unfavourable to
1:1.,31and. The tenor of their political observe-
ties was in =isms with this assurance, all tend-
; to excite apprehensions of a rupture between
tais country and Russia, while this 13th Article of
the Treaty affords positive proof of the continu-
ance of the friendly disposition of that power. Why
a false charatier of the Treaty was inn out into the
world, whether it was misrepresented for the put.
pose of aiding speculations in the funds, or to treat
the pablic to an agreeable surprise, the Treasury
Journals can best answer. Mr. JACKSON'S mission
to the Continent, we understand. was in coaseqnence
0. this proffered mediation of Russia. It is stated
that he has carried with him the acceptance of it by
our Ministers I that he is instrutted to profess their
de,ire for a just, pennanent, and equitable peace,
ass= inqnire tie basis upon which France is

willing to treat with this country. We may.
therefore. anticipate a series of pacific rumneer
and speculations for some time to come, but the
public cannot be too much upon their guard
against them. The present Treaty between France
and Russia is too narrow and simple to embrace all
the views of Boer . Ha has many plans, in
the execution of which he wants the assistance of
the Emperor of RUSSIA, that are not seen glanced
at in the Treaty. He wants ships, coin. ies, and
commerce. He wants a new maritime code, de-
strut:tire of the naval superiority of England, and
we may fairly presume that they are the subjea of
secret articles and private engagements made at the
„Ole, of Tilsit, when BoaaaaaTl gave the Emperor
of Russia the fraternal embrace. and enrolled him
a Member of his Legion of Honour.

We have received New York Papers to the
12th last. They abound with *cements of pub•
lie meetings. upon the affair between the Leo-
pard and C4osapossie. and the resolutions passed
at them, all breathing war against this country.
The PT MOUNT bas also published ‘i PROCL ANA..
TIOH. which we have given in our preceding co-
lumns, in which he designates the conduft of the
Leopa►d, "AM 1111041TITT WITHOUT 1.1801,00,1111066
611 JUiTirIA ALI cliuszi" and orders all British
armed vessels to depart from the harbours of the
United States, and interdiOs all communication
with them. He has also convened Congress
on the 25:11 of October, as is. has not th- power to
declare war, or even lay on an embargo, without its
authority. Meanwhile the British Minister, Mr.
Easeius. accompanied by Cap:. Dour:Las, of the
B.Mna, has arrived at Washington, and the
Revenge has been ordered by tie Parsinssir to
be in readiness to sail with dispatches for Englan•b
The answer will he. received before the meeting sit
Congress. and will decide the question of Peace ,a
War —Pr•parations are, h iwever, mak ng with
the greatest vigour. for the latter extremity. The
va-pirts are to be fortified, fifty gun-bo its are
be equipped, and 100,000 Militia ordered to be em
bodied. One paper indeed states. that hostilitiv.
have alluiPy comm.:iced, and that an engagement
has taken place between a detachment of our sea-
men and the Americans. Two hundred seamen, it
is said, landed at Lynhaven Bay, in Hampton
Roads. to procure water—they were opposed by
four hundred Americans. and an aaion en.ued, in
which two or three of the Americans were wounded.
and four cr five of the English killed. The Pee-
sinewy'. Proclamation, it will ►e observed, posi
tively asserts, that the men claimed from the Gera
pe,ic, were native Citizens of the United States.
Admiral Beancee's Order stated. as positively,
that they were British subjeas. Whitney r
was the ease, it does not age& the merits of the
question. If a Behigereat, as we cnnceive, has no
right to search a neutral man of war, the cir.
comstance of the men being native citiaens of Anse-
merit& would be no doubt an aggravation of the
injury.

A letter from Baltimore, dated the 3d of July.
says—,, Gloomy as the aspect of affairs appears.
the impression at the seat of Government and here,
where the tone is take from the Executive is. that
we shall have no War." Colonel Bues's trial fur
High Treason is fixed for the 3d of August. he has
been, on account cf ill health. taken from the com-
mon prison in which he had not even a room to
himielf, and placed in the custody of the Marshal.

A Tonningen Mail arrived at a late hour last
night, with letters and papers from Altona and
Hamburg!), to the 30th last ; their contents are n'.t
important. The Russian dispatches, proposing the
mediation of Russia, were transmitted from Ton.
ningen to Enpland on the 27th. Eon A r •ar a passed
through Dresden, for Paris, on the 22d The
King and Queen of Ps ussra arrived at Memel on
the llth, and on the same day the Emperor of Ros-
sia passed through Riga on his return to St. Peters-
burgh.

According to the pieserit estim-ate. the Klee! of
Commons will adjourn over early to-morrow, un-
til Saturday, on which day the prorogation will
take place.
Nothing has transpired rtspeaing the Expeditions
—the wind having changed to the Northward on
Saturday, information of their progress is hourly
expected. The troops which embarked at Hull and
Giimsby, still remain there ; other Corps have been
ordered to join them, and they are aspected to sail
the latter rad of the week.
The causes tried at the Surrey Assizes, at Croy-
don. on Saturday, were uninteresting. In the case
of moats v. Pore's. an aaioa for an assault and
false imprisonment ; the Defendant justified, as a
Peace OfScer, that there was a breach of the peace
ea his presence, and obtained a verdia. In the
cue of Gowns v. Sir Tie iota* Tea roe, for waste
by felling trees at Starborough Castle. and a simi-
lar aaion against Sir Souls Mawnv, there were
verdicts for the Defendants. Oa the Crown Side
