the United States, would not deserve nntice, 'lf it
were not for the extraordinary_ manner in Which
it has been introduced—a manner, we believe, al-
' most without.a precedent in any State Paper.—
The Indians (says the Manifesto) have:cow-
. pitted. hostilities against the subjects of .the.
United States ; it 'is difficult to account for
their hostilly, Unless we suppose that they
/are instigated by Great Britain ; therefore,
it follows. of course, that they hare been
instigated by Great Britain ! Here again: Mr.
MADDISON ,forgets to statt; that a discussion
upon this very point took place a short time ago,
that all interference on 'our part was positively
denied: There Ls tan admission in the conclud-
ing part of this Manifesto, which we did not
expect -to find; but which is most import-
ant. The hostile measures which America
has of -late adopted
,towards this' country, have
been adopted .upon this pretext, that France had
revoked her Berlin and Milap Decrees, and that
we would- hot rescind our Orders in Council : it
was in vain that it was urged, that those De-
crees were neither repealed in form or in
substance ; the. American Government insisted,
that they were repealed, and so did several
()lour patriotic Orators in this Country. Mr. MAD-
rnsoN is, however, now forced "to admit that the
Berlin and Milan Decrees are not repealed, not
indeed in so many Avoids, but by a: very' ludicrous
. . .
periphrasis. since the rerocatioit of the "Decrees,
says • he, the French Government has authorised
illegal captures by its privateers and public ships;
and other. outrages have been practised - upon
the vessels and citizens of America.; that is
to say, he admits that America has no right
to call upon us to revoke our Orders in Coun-
cil till France has revoked her Decrees—he ad-
mits, that France still acts upon her Decrees--and
yet America goes to war with Great Britain be-
cause she will not ,rescind her Orders in Council ;
and lives in amity with France, whose Govern-
ment is authorizing fhe illegal capture "of Ameri-,
can vessels and the commission of outrages upon
'American. subjects !---So much for the imparti-,
alit), of the American Government.
A Cabinet Council. was held yesterday, in con-
sequence of the arrival of this intelligence from
America, and orders, we Understand, were issued
to biing in and detain all American vessels. The
Mails were all kept back last night, in order that
instructions to that effect might be sent to the
out-ports.

Yesterday, 'about twelve o;clock, the PRINCE
REGENT, accompanied by the Dukesof CUMBER-
LAND, left town "for Oatlands, to dine with the
Duke and Duchess of YORK. The QuliEN', the
PRINCESSES', and a numerous party, were to be
present. •

Lieutenant-General WiNyAno is to proceed to
Scotland immediately, in order to take the com-
mand thefe during time absence of Lord CATHCART,
as Ambassador to Russia.

It _was•reported on 'Change that letters had been
received from, the Caraccas, containing-an account
of-the troops of the Insurgents having surrendered
themselves prisoners to the troops of the Mother
Country ; and that MIRANDA had been seized and
cut to pieces. •
We have seen a letter from Gijon, dated the
22d instant, which speaks in sanguine terms of
the brightening prospects in that part of the Pe-
ninsUla. The patriots were in hopes that through
flip combined efforts of our squadron, and the
guerillas, the shores of the Bay of Biscay, with
the exception Of St. Sebastian's; would be cleared
of the enemy's garrisons.
Twelve sail of American vessels, with their car-
goes,. were condemned yesterday morning by Sir
WM. SCOTT, Judge of the Admiralty Court.-

As soon as the American Declaration of War
was known at Halifax, Admiral SAWYER dis-
patched one ship of -the line and five frigatesfor the
coast. of America, and -on their voyage they re-
captured two American vessels which had been
brought in -by the Belvidcra, and
notified
released
by the Admiral. The event was notified to the
inhabitants of Nova Scotia in the following

" Whereas: the Government of the United
States of America, by Act of Congress, on the Sth
day of• June last,- has declared War against the
United Kingdom of Great :Britain and Ireland, and
it is expedient that this Act should be made as
public as possible in the Province under my go-
vernment.. I have, therefore, thon-Akiit fit, by and
with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Coun-
cil, to issue this Proclamation, in order to.make
known the said Declaration, that his Majesty's
subjects, having this notice, may govern them-
selves accordingly. -
" Given under my Hand and Seal, and Arms,
at Halifax, the first of Ju1y,.1812, in the
52d year.of his Majesty's reign.

We are glad to find that the public, are likely
to be again gratified by the talents of Mrs, 3011..
DAN. It was understood, when a late separation
took place, that by the consequent pecuniary ar-
rangements, she was precluded from appearing
any more upon the stage. This stipulation, how-
ever, we understand; has now been relinquished,
in order to give this great comic actress an oppor-
tunity of gratifying the public, and 9f ittiptoving
latc awn dotnestic comforts.

SECOND 1:?,DITION.

SUN-OFFICE,

THREE O'CLO CK

We stop the Press to-inform our. Readers,.tbx

a Treaty of Peace has been signed 'between this

Country, Russia, and Sweden. Dispatches fron

Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ,, communicating this im-
portant event, have just been received at the Ad-
miralty, brought by Lieut. DOBREE.

Th e above-mentioned Treaty, we understand,

*was signed on the, 19th inst, ; we cannot, of
course, be expected to state the terms, but we are

assured that they concede nothing inconsistent

with the honour and interest of this Country.

LINA, DOBREE left Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ on

the 21st. inst. ; at that time no further news had
been received from the Russian Armies.

By a private letter from Upper Canada, we

learn, that the. American troops had made an at-

tack upon the British force in that nuarter ; but

had been repulsed; with loss, by a detaehment of

the Alst Regiment. Nothing has yet reached

Government in confirmation of this 'intelligence.

THE LYCEUM.----The new Opera of Rich and
Poor, which is attended with merited popularity,
-on account of its dramatic merits, and the general
excellence of the Performers, was last night suc-
ceeded by a new Panonnime entitled ruck and
or The Clown's Disasters. Considering the 'con-
tracted scale of this :Theatre,-..and the- nature of
a_Pantominte, it- is, really extraordinary that an
entertainment of this kind can be brought for-
ward in sitch.a.Theatrc, as. so much space is ne-
cessary for the• variety of incidents, tricks, ma-
chinery, Sic. Rce. which essentially constitute the
species of amusement. But the Spirit;enterprize,
and liberality, which characterize themanagement
of this Theatre h ave overcome all difficulties, and the
Pantomime of la st night has very strongiCe.ornmen-
dations to public favour:. The juvenile part.of the
public will, orcourse, be agreeably surprised with an
illustration of the at song " Jack alai Jill, Bx,"
and those of-maturer age, who are not fastidious,
will certainly participate in the pleasure.; Harlequin
was performed by Mr. HOLLINGSWOIitH, who is
well-known at other theatres, but made his first
appearance last night at this. He is active, and
acquitted hithself very well. Miss VALIANCY was
the Columbine,, arid Mr. KI.RBY the Clown. The
last gets into many whimsical difficulties, and, the
piece altogether afforded much entertainment to a
numerous audience, by whom it was very warmly
applauded. The-last scene, representing the Pa-
lace of Fortune, was very mlgnificent, appro-
priate, and picturesque.
