THE Hambargh Mail due on Wednesday last,
arrived this morning. It has brought us an Ar-
ticle from Smyrna, of the 27th May, which says, that
according to the English accounts there; MENou had
broken up from illexandriq with
,poo men, and that
Gmeral Huron INSON was gone in pursuit of him
with five 4housand Troops. As the French ac-
counts from4/exandr;a are of the igth of May,
4n(l as it was hardly possible to have concealed such
a f;la, if it had happened, we must await further
intelligence before we venture to give credit to it.
'The British Force, the same article adds, was on
i. 5 march from to Cain,.

According to Letters from Ancona of the..Bth
ult, the three Neapolitan Frigates, on the accession
of which the French ealculated,• were waiting in
that port the arrival of Gforrnr,AumE's SquAron,
which was at Mess;nay and which, when joined by
a Spanish Force, was to proceed; together with
these Frigates to Egypt,
The Prussians have at length removed their
Head-quarters from Brezzen to iloya, further up
the Weser.

This morning three Messengers arrived from the
Continent, but the contents of their Dispatches had
slot transpired when this Paper was put to Press.

IF we had yesterday the satiscadion of giving the
Fublic a detailed and authentic account of the na-
ture of the Convention concluded at Peter:burgh on
the 27th ult. we have still the greater pleasure of
seeing that there is but one. opinion in the Public re-
spe:aing the adyantage of this Convention, and the
merit of those who have prepared and carried it
into et:Wt. Even tilt, Opposition Papers themselves
have this time been obliged to subn;it to evidence,
and to join their voice in the general concert of ap
probation and joy which has been heard Gn this
occasion.

It would indeed be vain for us to seek in history
an in!tz.,:ce cf foresight, vise r, wisdom, 4pd sue_
CCSS, equal thcit with which our differences with
the. North have been treated from the'morment
when they broke out to that Olen they were so
completely terminated.. Vielory early in the bu-
siness has shewn pur strength; and the
.use we
have made- pf it has proved our moderatiort

have disarmed oar enemies by both means at ante,
and we have derived from this two-fold vidory the
advantage of completely securing our Rights, and,
what is still more, of producing a recognition of
the justice of them. It was impossible that, this
great national affair could have taken a more ho-
nourable and a more advantageous. turn, and that
we could have passed, in a more honourable man-
ner in every lespea, through this unexpeled epi,
sode, which had arisen to mingle itself with the
main aaion, the contest in which we have far eight
years been engaged with France.

If we have so much to congratulate ourselves
upon, in seeing our Maritime Rights, our Commer-
cial Interests, and. our Political Relations with the
Northern poweis established on more solid and
better defined bases than they have hitherto been ;
if these Powers have occasion to be themselves gra.
tiled at returning to that situation with respeift to
us, which was before so advantageous to them ; if
the, whole of Europe has to rejoice at having escaped
the additional misery to which this new War would
have subjected it, tkre must flow from this general
satisfaOion of all interests a tribute of aolmiration
and gratitude towards the Fmperor. ALEXANDER,
who,' at an age when Princes are most inclined to
seek the Glory of Arms, has had the Virtue to prefer
to it the Olive of Peace ; who, at the head of the most
powerful Enipke on earth,. has had the wis4om not
to shut his eyes to the Commercial Interests cif his

Subjects ; and who has felt the most noble of all
the various kinds of ambition, that of closing, as
far as it depended on him, the wounds of Humanity,
and of bringing back legitimate Governments to
the only road by, which they could attain that state
of Society and Politics which they had lost. Such
are the brilliant claims which the EMPEROR ALEX.
ANQER has -already put in for tie commendation of
all enligh.ened men. While we admit them in 311
their force, it is Incumbent upon as also to do justice
to his Ministers, and to the respelable Nobleman
who represents him in this Country, Count Wo-
,
RONZOW. HiS patriotism, his political knowledge,

and his general wishes for the good of mankind,
have we may believe not a little contributed to
pave the way for this reconciliation.

. To have thus expressed what we think and what
we feel re-speeing the new Emperor of Russia, is to
have paid also the same just tribute to the new
Administration of Great Britain. It is not a little
remarkable that, raised at the same moment, the
one to the Throne, the-other to the head of Affata,
they should both have marked the commencement
of their capeer, by that aft which was at once the
most honourable to them, and the most desirable
for the destiny of the millions of men whose inte-
rests are under their conduit. The Convention of
Prtersburgh must afford to every one the most sa-
tisfaCtory evidence with how much confidence we
may, in all future concerns, rely on the qualities of
their heads and hearts. Nothing was more unfor-
tunate than our differences with the North, is the
circumstances in which we stood, and nothing ap_
peared more -difficult than to terminate them with
dispatch and success. We could not without shame,
and without injury, abandon our Rights, nor could
we maintain them in open arms without great t,,nd
new efforts, ,without great .sacrifices, and without
running great risks in other respe&s. It was
essential to avoid at once these two difficulties,
to find the track of Honour and National advantage
between these 'rocks. This is'what Mr. ADDINGTOIV,
ably seconded by Lord HAwicrsuutc;-.„ and assisted
by Lord ST. HELENS, has succeeded in doing._
He had pledged himself to his- own country, that
misfortunes should not make him give way where
our Rights were concerned ; he had promised Eu-
rope that success should not make him enlarge his
demands. He has kept his word, and it will note
forgotten. This great political operatitln will
never be separated from his memory. To him be_
longs the glory of it, while we, who reap the ad-
vantage, may applaud it, and, congratulate ourselves
on these brilliant auspices which augur so favour..
allly both to the Minister and the t'eople:

The Countess of HARDWICKE and family left
Town on Monday for Oxford; Where her Ladyship
slept that night, they then proceed' ;o Park Gate,
