. Mr. ROWAN hoped the Petition would pot be re:

beneath the dignity of the House to give it any con-.

Tnr. Captain of a • Vesiel that lately arrived at
Hull from the North, has brought a report that a
forceof 1.5,000 D'Alls were on their march to invade
Sweden. Where these Troops have been collected,
or against what part of the Swedish territories they
are marching,' wo,are: not. told. Indeed the report
does not seem to be entitled to much credit;i" If the
;tupercr.ALliiiiNDHß should be induced by BOONA-
PARTE toengage aCtively in a War With Sweden, 'of
course Denmark' will be ordered to co-operate; but
though the passions of the Prince Royal appear
sometimes to get the better °this reason, we do not
think he would venture upetl a tiontest, single?
',handed,. with Sweden.

Tux latest accounts fro : St. Pertersburgh repre!.
sent the public sentiment aMong.the Ituoian people
to be in favour of this Country, indeed, to such' a
degree as to excite a belief that soisie Wong expres.,,
'Sion of national , indignation would appear, if the
Emperor .ALEANDEIt should be induced. to adopt:
severe nreastires against Great Britain. These ac-
counts corroborate all the others'whiCk have been
received from the santecl.tartersince the unfertunate
and thrigraceltil_pace „of Tilsit ; a measure which
has undoulite'clly.lowered Ow character ofALE)cAN pita
.in the. esteem of his own Subjefis, as. well as in
the Opinion of, ll the rest of the world. But it ie
said that the Egreitox has thought it necessary
adopt the humiliating part which he.ltas lately, acted,
by a threat held out by. General SAVIRY; that tie
French Army should march, to St. Petersburgh,,
the degrading terms of the Treaty alluded to were
not carried into rigid execution. It is, lamentable
to think that the Russian Monarch should be.so
weak as to yield tri a wenace 404 hind? with sup!!!

powerful means to 'support a more hbnOurable lute
of condo& But there is not wanting, even in the
preSentinadipicions state of affairs in Cassia, a Party
at the court of ALIMANDER friendly to an amicable
connexion with this Country. The chief of this
Party, which may truly be considered as wise add
patriotic, are the, faruily of the STROtiiiikior4s, CzSit-
TottINSKI, and- Novoswitotr. (since KURAICINN
and the CountSRPMANZOW and TOLSTOY Ire under-
stood to be the chief partizans of the interests of

France. But- the greatest friend to the French
interests is said to be the Princess NARISKIN,
who unhappily is too much in faVour with the
EMPEROR, and consequently likely to influence
his mind against this country. gut if the fol-
lowing anecdote be true, the general feelings and
opinion of ;bd. rtAqsio People are likely to pro-
duce measures more calculated to serve their Coun-
try, by prOducingi renBval of amicable connections
with Great Britain. It is saici, that ToLsroy in-
tended:to visit his estates before he left Russia, as
Ambassador to France, but had such strong reason to
believe that the poPular,indignation on the road might
be attended with the west dangerous consequences to
himself, that she found' it necessary to relinquish his
intention. We Cannot vouch for the authenticity of
this' story ; but as' it' corresponds with all
.we have;
heard of the popular feelings in Russia, we are not
withotii; it hoPethat the .Emperor may be at length
induced: to think that there is more danger in the
disapprobation of his peep' le, than in the avowed att.
ger of
.BUONAPARTE, or even in his treacherous
friendship. .

In ,
theLiottSc.oi- Representatives, on 010 27th of
November, a Motion for referring to a CominiitN3
of the whole liouse, a Petition from Philltdvlphia,
praying for
~the repeal of the Non.itnportation; As,
was 194 only by a majority of 30, the numbers be,
ing, Ayes 80 Nods f)O. It appears that the ascen-
dancy olthe President's party, though sufficient to
procure the •,•iolent Resolutions which we, give yes-
terklay„
,iii not very decided,

A Correspondent of a Morning Paper attempts to
do away the impression Which ha,s been univets.tily
im,de by tbe palpable partiality of Mr. 4„FrEasos'S
Message towards Eranoe, by asserting thsit soon af.
ter the Decree of thovist Nov. the Americans re-'
ceived assurances that. it would not be enforced
against their trade. Such assurances may have been
vet...dived, though we doubt much whether they have
been carried into effeet ; but the case is not .at all
altered by this fREt, Our Orcii!r of the 7th of Janu•
ary was expressly founded on I,IIIObiArARVP'S
eree. If, even, that Decree did not extend to Ame-
rica, we knew nothing of the exception—the•
mice was general. Mr. JEVVErtsoN, in speaking of
our Order, reprobates it as a new Law of the Ocean,
and a violation of Maritime Rights, without taking
the slightest notice of the previous infringementi by
Franco which occasioned its issue.

•
This is decidedly unfair towards England—ittis
this (amongst.other slights) of which we have com-
plained, being.determined that as we will not be
led by any popular or mercantile clamour to misre-
present and trayluce the Government or People of
Nimerica., sn iiitliber will vie be induced by any
mistaken idea of =dour to palliate insults and in-
juries which are coMinitted iu the face of the whole
