SOLEM QUIS PICLIM FALSU3I AMIE:AT

MONDAY, SRPTEMBER '2l, 1812.

We 'have very little to add to the intelligence
which we on Saturday communicated to our
Readers from the North of Europe. The next
Gottenburgh Mail will, we have little doubt, bring
us the Russian accounts of the battles of Smo-
lensko 'and Valentina. In the mean time we re-
joice to find that the expedition from Sweden is
on the point of sailing : it is said that it will be
composed of 20,000 Swedes and 40,000 Russians;

its destination of course is not known. A num-
ber of transports that were assembled at Yar-
mouth and Sheerness have been ordered immedi-
ately to the Balt!c.

The following letter was received on Satur-

day: --

" Riga, August 9 (21), 181'2.

" Our garrison has made another successful
sortie from the right side of the town—they sur-
prised the enemy, made 600 prisoners, and took
eight pieces of cannon.
" The British fleet which bas been cruising off
this port, under the orders of Admiral MARTIN,
together with most of the• British and Russian
gun-boats, have sailed' from hence on a secret
Expedition; by some, it is supposed, they have
proceeded to Liebau, where they will land troops
to act in the enemy's rear. Others suppose, that
this Expedition is destined to act in concert with
the Swedes."

The Montagu packet arrived at Falmouth on
Friday in 39 days from Jamaica. Thy Mary _4un
packet had sailed for Falmouth a week before her.
In consequence of the war with America, the Go-
vernor of Jamaica had opened the ports to Spa-
nish and other vessels, with flour, meal, beans,
pease, and all kinds of grain and lumber.

Our Readers will do us the justice to recollect
that in speaking of the differences which have so
long subsisted between this country and America,
we have always contended that the American Go-
vernment was actuated by a hostile .ipirit towards
this country, and that instead of observing a neU,
tral conduct towards the Belligerents it submitted,
without a murmur, to the insults anal aggres-
sions of France, and anxiously sought for
causes of quarrel with Great Britain., The par-

tizans of America ' denied .our assertion : they
said, that 'America wished to be at peace with
us, and that if the Orders in Council were re-
pealed, all differences between the two countries
would immediately vanish, and the animosity of
America would be directed against France. Such
was the language held by the Opposition Writers
and Speakers during the discussions on the Orders
in Council, and the repeal of them was hailed
as a measure that would immediately restore
harmony. We expressed our doubts upon the
subject at that time, and the event appears to
spew that they were well-founded. The last ac-
counts from America are certainly not of a pacific
tendency. The American Government is (at least
if we' may judge from the papers that are in the
habit of speaking its sentiments) determined upon
war with this country. The following article is
extracted from the National Intelligencer

" The Orders in Cannel' of the British Govern-
ment are now no longer a quation with the
United States. The question of peace now re-
quires only a proper and vigorous,use of the am—
ple means which the Government is, possessed of,
to rendek it-speedy, decisive, -and glorious. "resiee;
when it comes, must bring with it more than the
confession of British:outrage by:the retraction of
its avowed tyranny. It is not a mere cessation to
do wrong that can now produce a peace—Wrongs
' done .must be.redressed; and a guarantee must be
given in the face of the world, for the restoration
of Our enslaved Citizens, and the respect due to

our flag, which, like the soil'we inherit, must in

future secure all that sails under it. The rights
of neutrals must be recognised ; and the British,

like the first tyrants of the Swiss, must no longer
expect a free people to bow down, and worship
the symbols of British usurpation."

The anxiety which the British Government has
evinced to take aWay all possible ground of Com-
plaint from America, seems only to have had the
effect of giving birth to new demands of the most
extravagant nature. If the American Govern-
ment really means to,assert the Principle that the
" American flag must secure all that sails under
it," then, indeed, all prospect of peace-must va-
nish. No British Government could listen for a

ble the Americani to carry do all the trade of
France. No exceptions is eVen made of contra-
band of war, and we know not whether it might
not- be contended that the armies of Frariee
should be conveyed in safety under the protqtion
of the flag of Atherica. If the AmericatiGover,n-:
meat should persist in its hostile conduct towards
Great Britain, we trust that those who have hi-
therto been the advocatcsof America in this coun-
try will at least be silent, and that those who
urged so strongly the repeal of the Orders in
Council, will keep the promises they made when
that repeal took place. If the American Govern-
ment should determine upon war, the Ministem
of this country may, we have no doubt, rely upon
the cordial support of mix. BROUGHAM in the pro-
secution of it. That Gentleman, speaking in the
House of Commons after the repeal of the Orders
in Council, after thanking Ministers for their
frank and manly conduct, said, he trusted that the
revocation of the Orders in Council would produce
a proper effect, and be taken as they were meant,
by a Government which he hoped was naturally
friendly to us. If unfortunately it should happen

that this was not the case, he-should be the last
man to say that the Government ought not to be

supported.
Mr. BARING said, that he had no doubt that the
repeal of the Orders in Council would satisfy the
Americans, and he knew.that it ought to satisfy

CM.

Mr. WiIIi:BREAD held Similar,- and even
stronger language ; if, therefore, the war should
continue, Ministers may, at least, rely upon the
poAverful aid and co-operation of these Gentle-
men.

It is painful to observe the lamentable state to
which the Emperor of AUSTRIA is.reduced, in be-
ing under
.the necessity of joining the execrable
Usurper of France in his invasion of Russia, and of
not oulyinserting in the Austrian Journals an account
Of the success of the Austrian arms, but of pretending
to rejoice in that success. Nothing can be more
probable than that the .Emperor of AUSTRIA looks
with horror on the contest in which he has been
compelled to engage; anti that he would rejoice
in the triumph of Russia, and the consequent
downfal of the Tyrant, wider whose odious yoke'
he is condemned to groan, but at present he is
obliged obliged to submit, •the melancholy., effect
of a want of firmness at a time when, by a
gorous co-operation with Prussia, which displays
'another instance of ruinous imbecility, he might
have arrested the progress of the great Disturber
of Mankind, and •at least have rescued Europe
from his furious domination.
KENT, of • the Hay-market Theatre, is said to
be engaged at Drury-lane. He is a bustling, sPii-1
rited actor; and in rustic lovers, and sporting
,'squires, is well entitled to a permanent station on
the London boards ; particularly as he also is a
tolerable singer.
Mr. COLMAN, it seems, with the usual fertility
of his Musg; has sent not fewer than twenty Ad-
dresses to the Drury-lane COanuittee, all of a ha-
