AMERICAN PAPERS.

American Papers have been received to,the
ult. The Boston Advertiser of the 29th mentions,
that the United States sloop of war John Adams,
lying at that port, had been selected to convey
Messrs. CI:AY and Russ.m., the Plenipotentiaries
appointed to treat with Great Britain, to Gotten-
burgh. The John Adams was expected to sail
about the 20th inst.
The President; on the 18th ult. transmitted a
report to the House of Representatives, with the
documents on the subject of. the Russian mediU.
tion.

The subsequent extract is.from.the letter of the
•
Russian Minister :
,
" ills Majesty, who takes pleasure in doing justice to the
wisdom of the Government of. the United States of America,
is convinbed, that it has done an that it could do to prevent
the rupture; but that treating of it directly would take away
from the negociatiou all semblance of impartiality; Ina di-
rect discussion, every thing would tend to excite the preju-
dices and the asperity of the pieties. ins obviate this meou-
venience, his :oilijesty the Emperor, gratified at being able to
give a proof of his friendship alike fur his Majesty the King
of Great Britain, and the United States of America, wishes to
ffer them his mediation, and charged the undersigned to
roposeit to the President of t h.! United States."
The following is an extract from Mr. MUNROE'S
answer to this part of Mr. DASCIIKOFF'S fetter :

" President is aware that many of the inco.nveniences
resulting from a direct communiettion between the parties
themselves, May be avoided by the mediation of a third person,
especially one entitled to and possessing the entire contideir.e
of both the belligerents. To the clnim of Russia to that d is-
tingoished consideration, the President does not hesitate to
express
.his full acknowledgment. Lie recollects, with much
satisfaction; that during a period of great and general con-
tention, the oqations of ft iendsliip have always-subsisted
between the rnit- i States and Russia; and he finds in the
Fe, t,onal qualities chaiacter of the Emperor Alex-
indcr, a sacred pledge ivy the justice and impartiality which
xuay ii expected from his biterposition."
Mr. CLEVES has beer; elected Speaker of the
douse of Representatives in the room of Mr.

Mr. ROBINSON returns immediately to Head-
quarters in France with the answer to the (lit:-
patches of which he was the bearer. 'J'hcrc are a
thousand guesses in circulation respecting the na-
ture of these dispatches, and the reply'to them
by the British Cabinet: The patriotic Opposition
and.les Trembleurs (for they scarcely merit English
names) assert, that BUONAPARTE'S mighty victories.
have brOught down the insolent tone of the Allies,
and especially of Great Britain. They harp upon the
old ch6rd of the disinAination of Austria to press
upon the Corsican, and all with-as good and ra-
tional grounds as ever.. We will take upon us to
repeat our assertion, that neither victory nor de-
feat (nor the unsubstantial claim of either), has
caused any alteration, or any disunion in the Al-
lied Councils. Austria has, perhaps, from the
beginning, carried too much of the Mediator into
the Warrior; but there exists, and has existed,
only one sentiment in the Coalition. The Morn-
ing chronicle, assuming a little more courage as
the affairs of its Idol appear to brighten, has the
impudence to say this morning,

" The incredulity of the war-faction, on the subject of Bt;o-
NAPARTE'S force, nom gives way to the proof of our own bul-

Even in cavalry he chews himself (and it is marvellous), to
be superior to the Allies.

It was the Chronicle itself which, in its cele-
brated letter, said " the Cavalry is the weakest,
and yet it is 25,000 in number," and now it would
fix the assertion on us, for the purpose of con-
founding the question, and getting out of its di-
lemma about the " six hundred thousand well-dis-
ciplined soldiers" in Kendal green !
The artifice will not do—there is no credulity
in the country so weak as to be imposed on by
the Chronicle fabrications. Why, where is By oNY's
own army of 230,000 men : where the armies of
VIGTOE, AUGEREAU, MORTIER, and MAR-
moNT," which 'were in addition to, and in com-
munication with this mass; where the 50,000 men
at Paris; and above all, where the other 200,000
in reserve at Meaux, Chaloni, Troyes, and Arcis-
sar-Attbe ? ,Pooh ! false Chronicler, these bounces
will not do I

We have reason to believe that the Bourbon
Standard has, 'ere thi3, been hoisted in more, than
one Province in France—God speed it.

Our Columns to-day present an important De-
tail of the recent affairs of the world in almost
every quarter, extracted from the Gazelle of Sa-
turday, French Papers, Dutch Papers,
,and va-
rious other sources of intelligence. The imforma-
tion, via Holland, which. reaches to the 25th, is
of more than ordinary interest, and relates to
events,of uncommon magnitude, were not our at-
tention so deeply absorbed in the contemplation
of the grand theatre where Fate is unravelling
the tangled web of EurOpe's destiny. Yet even
amid the awful suspense of this scene, a brief
enumeration of the contents of these Papers is de-
sirable. A Provisional Government for the Ne-
therlands has been constituted at Brussels, and
thus the finishing hand havbeen int to the incle-
pendance of those Provinces, with the existence of
which the Tyrant has declared the safety of France
to be incompatible. The 'march of troops into
the North of France continues incessantly; and at
the time we now write there must be another,
and one of the finest armies in the world, un-
der the direction of
,the ablest Commanders,
conctqltrating within a few days march of Paris.
Glogau and Mentzbave proposed to capitulate ;
and as it is iMportant to release the troops occu-
pied in the siege of these places, " it is probable
that they will obtain more easy terms than they

to be formally besiegek; Reinforcements conti-
nue to pa,s through Bask, both,for the Grand
Army'and far General 131113 NA. There has been a
severe action near Ilamburgh on the 9th, in
which the Enemy suffered a very considerable loss.
From Italy the news is equally strange and im-
portant. Verona and Rivoli have been abandon-
ed by BEAUHARNOIS, of whom it is reported that-
he has consented to abdicate the Vice-regal title,
and content himself under the Allies, with the
State of Genoa, constituted into, a dukedom in
his .favour. Venice has been shaken by an in,
surrection," and must speedily be relieved from
Gallic chains. At Ancona. the dereliction of Mu-
Rat, Grand Chancellor of France, from the cause.
of BUONAPARTE, has been signalised by an act
of hostility, on. the part of the ComMander
of the Neapolitan troops, against BARBON, the -
French Commandant, who consequently shut him-
Self up in
_the citadel. But perhaps the most sin-
.gidar docuMent of all from these parts is the pro-
clamation issued by Gen. LAVANGUYON, a French-
man in the service of. Mortal', on taking provi,
sional poSsession of the States of the Church,
Rome, &c. in the ;lame of King CHAR LES—and
abolishing the functions of the Corsican's re-
presentative, Miot,Lrs 3 While .ou this point it
may be well to correct' an error into which
many Journalists and a portion of the priblic have
fallen,- on the momentous subject of the arrange-
ment with MuttaT, and which this' Proclamation
seems further to elucidate. It has been supposed
that a grant had been made to him of the whole
of Italy to the Po, which is a most absurd suppo,
sition. His troops were only ordered to occupy
this territory in the name of the Allies ; and so
far from having an extension of dominion which
would rank -him among the second Pov..ers in
Europe, he speaks of receiving compensation for
• the Neapolitan Fleet and Islands of Ischia, Pro-
cida, and Capri, which he vos compelled to de-
posit in surety for his fidelity.
Savoy is freed from Slavery.
The French Papers contain little remarkable,
with the exception of au Order of the Day, issued at
Gerona by &CHET on the 2d, to a part of his Army
sent to reinforce AUGER EAU, at Lyons. This is a
vital point in the present situation of the cam-
'paign ; and the maintenance of a respectable
force in the South has a potent effect upon the
operation near Paris. by PvP"oinE r1,....".n10 line
of communications on the left of the Allies from
the Rhine to the Seine, to be assailed by an ene-
my rendered dangerous by the direction of
his means to a single object on so ex-
tended a line. It is not therefore impro-
bable that the operations of Lord WELLING-
TON may have some tendency to counteract the
:efforts of the foe in this quarter. His Lordship is
at the head of a noble Army, approaching (as said)
to the number of 100,000 valiant and tried wariors.
Weakened as his immediate adversary has been,
-we look for a most dashing advance on his part, and
should not be surprized were the speculations of a
contemporary to prove correct ,and that his Lordship
should approach Bourdeaux by sea and land, and,
after securing his marine communications by that
great port,strike directly into the heart of France,
and oppose himself at once to any force the 'Ty-
rant may assemble in the Southern Provinces.

The Gazette intelligence is only valuable from
giving officlal and more particular accounts of
events which were, however, accurately known
to the Public 'before, through the medium of the
newspapers.

A Message is to be sent down to the two
Houses'of Parliament•to-morrow, recommenling
another adjournment to the 42ist March.
