This morning we received American Papers,
from which we extract the, tollowing interesting
Correspondence between Admiral Sir JoHst BOR-
I,AtE WARREg and the American Secretary of

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN SIR J. B. WARREN

AND THE SECRETARY DY STATE.

" Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sept. 30.
" Si a,,--The departure of Mr. Foster front Ame-
rica has devolved upon me the charge of making
known:to:you, for the information of the Govern-
plea of the United States, the sentiments enter-
tained by his Royal Highness the. Prince Regent,
upon the existing relations of the two countries.
" You will.observe from the enclosed copy of
an Order in Council, bearing date the 23d June,
1812, that the Orders in Council of the , 7th of
Jan. 1807, and the 26th April, 1809, ceased to
exist nearly at the same time that the Govern-
ment of the United States declared war against his

Majesty.,,
" Immediately on the receipt of this declaration
in London, the Order in Council, of 'which a copy
is herewith inclosed 'to you, was issued, on the
31st day'Of July, for the embargo and detention.
of all American ships. •
" Under these circumstances-, I. abi ,commanded
to propose to your Government the immediate
cessation of hostilities between the two countries,
and,l shall be most happy to be the instrument of
bringing about a reconciliation, so interesting
and beneficial to America and Great Britain.
" I therefore propose to you that the Govern-
ment of the United States of America shall instantly
recal their -letters of marque and reprisal
against British ships, together with all orders
and instructions for any acts of hostility what-
ever against the territory of his Majesty, or the,
persons or property of his subjects ; with,the un-
derstanding, that immediately on my receiving
from you au official assurance to that effect, I shall
instruct all the officers tinder my command to de-
. sist from- corresponding 'measures of -war against
the ships and property of the United States,
and, that I shall transmit, without delay, corre-
sponding. intelligence to the several parts of the
world where hostilities may have commenced ;
the British Commanders in which will be re-
quired to discontinue hostilities, front the receipt

of such notice.
" :91ould the American dovernment accede to
the above proposal for terminating hostilities, I
am anthorised to arrange with you as to the revo-
cation of the laws which interdict the commerce
and ships of war of Great Britain
,from the har-
bours and waters of the United States; in default
of which revocation within such reasonable periods
as may he agreed upon, you will observe, by the
order of the 23d June, the Orders in Council of
January 1807, and April 1809, are to be revived.
" The Officer who conveys this letter to the
Amerind coast has received my orders to put to
sea Immediately upon the delivering of this dis-
patch to the competent Authority ; and I earnest-
ly recommend, that no time may be lost in com-
municating to me the decision of your Govern-
ment, persitaded as I,feel, that it cannot but be of
a mature to lead to a speedy termination of the

zens.

present differences.
The flag of truce which you may charge with
your reply, will find one of my cruisers at Sandy
Hook ten days after the binding of this dispatch,
which I have directed to call there Ivith a flag of

ruce for thatpurpose.

bumble servant,

" JOHN BORLASE *WARREN,
Admiral of the Blue, and Commander-in-Chief, &c

MR. MONROE TO MR J. B. WARREN.
" Department of Stoe, Oct. 27, 1812

" have had the honour to receive your
letter of the 30th ult. and to submit it to the con-
sideration of the President. •

It appears that you are authorised to propose
a cessation o f hostilities between the United States
and Great Britain, on the -ground of the Repeal
of the Orders in Council ; and, in case the pro-
position is acceded to, to take measures, in con-
cert with this Government, to carry it into com-
plete effect on both sides.
" You state also,.that you have it in charge in
the event, to enter into an arrangement with the
Government of the United States for the repeal of

the laws which interdict.the ships of wow and the
commerce of Great Britain from the harbours
and waters
.of the United States. And you inti-
mate, that if the proposition is not acceded to, the
Orders in Council (repealed conditionally by that
of the 231 June last) will be revived against the
commerce of the United States.

" I am instructed to inform you, that it will be
very satisfactory to the President to meet the Bri-
tish Gove'inment in such arrangements as may
terminate without delay the hostilities which now
exist between the United States and Great I3ri‘
tain, on conditions hondurable.to both nations.

" At the nionicnt of the declaration of war,
the President gave a signal proof of the attach-
ment of the United States to peace. Instructions
were given, at an earlypericiti, to the late Charge
des Affaires of the United States at London, to
propose to the British Government an armistice,
on conditions which, it was presumed, would have
been satifactory. It has been seen with regret,
that the proposition made'by Mr. Monroe,, parti-
cularly in regard to',the important interest of im-
pressment, was rejected, and that none was offer-
ed through that channel, as a basis on which hos-
tilities might cease.

" As your Government has authorised you to
propose a cessation of hostilities, and is doubtless
aware of the important and salutary effect which
a satisfactory adjustment of this difference can-
not fail to have on the future relations between.
the two countries, I indulge the hope that it has,
ere this, given you full powers for the purpose.—
Experience has sufficiently evinced that no peace
can be durable, unless. this object is provided for :
it is presumed, therefore, that it is equally the
interest of both countries to ,adjust it at this

Without further discussing questions of
right, the President is desirous to provide a re-
mop, for the evils complained of on both sides.—
The claim of the British Government is to take
from the merchant vessels df other countries

British subjects. In thopractice, the Commanders
of British ships of war often take from. the mer-
ohant vessels of the United States American citi-
If the United States prohibit the employ-
ment of British subjects in their service, and en-
ince the prohibition by suitable regulations and

,
penalties, the motive for the .practice is taken
away. it is in this mode tlit•the President is

willing to accommodate this important contro-

versy with the British Government, and it cannot

be conceived on what ground the arrangement

can be refused.

A suspension of the practice of impressment,
pending the armistice, seems to be a necessary
consequence. It cannot be presumed, while the
parties are engaged in a negociation to adjust
amicably this important difference, that the United
States would admit the right or acquiesce in
the practice of the opposite party ; or that
Great Britain wool be unwilling to restrain her
cruizers from a practice which would have
the strongest tendency to defeat the negocia-
tion. It is, presumable that' both parties would
enter into a negociation with a sincere desire to
give it effect. For this purpose it is necessary that
a clear and distinct understanding be first obtained
between them, of the accommodation which each
is prepared to make. If the British Government is
willing to suspend the practice of impressment
fronsAmerican vessels, on consideration that the
United States will exclude British seamen from
their service, the regulation by which this compro-
mise should be carried into effect would be solely
the object of this negoeiation. The armistice would
be of short duration. If the parties agree, peace
would be the result. If the negociation
each would be restored to its former state, and
to all its pretensions, by recurring to war.
Lord Castlereagh, in his note to Mr. Russell
seems to have supposed, that, had; the British Go-
vernment accepted the propositions made to it,.
Great Britain would have suspended immediately
the exercise of a right on the mere assurance
of this Government, that a law would be af-
terwards passed to prohibit the employment
of British seamen in the service of the United
-States, and that Great Britain would have no
agency in the regulation to give effect to that pro-
position. Such an idea was not in the contem-
plation of this Government, nor is to be
reasonably inferred from Mr. Russell's note
List, however, liy possibility such an inference
might be drawn from the instructions to Mr. Rus-
sel, and anxious that there should be no misunder-
standing in the case, subsequent instructions were
given to Mr. Russell with a view to obviate
every objection of the kind alluded to. As they
bear date on the 27th of July, and were forwarded
by the British packet 41phea, it is more than
probable that they May have been received and
acted on.
". I am happy to explain to you thus fully the
views of my Governineut on this important sub-
ject. The President desires that tile war which
exists between our countries should be terminated
on such conditions as may 'secure a solid and
durable peace.' To accomplish this great object it
is necessary that the interest of impressment be
satisfactorily arranged. He is willing that Great
Britain should be secured, against the evils of
which she' complains. Ile seeks, on the other
hand, that the citizens of the United States should
be protected against a practice which, while it
degrades the nation, deprives them of their right
as freemen, takes them by force from their fami-
lies and their 'country, into a foreign service, to
fight the battles of a_ foreign Power, perhaps
against their own kindred and country.
•

«I abstain from entering, in this communica-
tion, into other grounds of differences. The Or-
ders in Council having been repealed (with' a re-
servation not impairing a corresponding right on
the part of the United States), and no
blockades revived or instituted in their steal, and
an understandingtbeing obtained on the suli!ect of
imprisSment, in the mode herein proposed, the
President is willing to agree to a 'cessation of
„hostilities, with a view to arrange, -by treaty, in a
more distinct and ample manner, and to the satis-
faction of hoth parties, every other subject of con-
troVersy.

I

I will only add, that if there be no objection j
to an acconintoda don of the difference relating to
impressment, in the mode proposed, other than
the suspension of the British claims to impress-
ment during the armistice, there can be none to
proceeding, without the armistice, to an innuedi-
ate discussion and arrangement of an article on
that subject. This great question being satisfac-
torily adjusted, the way will be open either fur • ,
an armistice or any other course leading-most con-
veniently and expeditiously to a general pacifica-
tion. I have the honour to be, &c.
4' JAMES MONRO."
To the above correspondence is added a letter
from Mr. RussaLL to Lord CASTLIRAOH, dated
Ist Sept. expressing his surprize that his proposal
of the 25th August has been declined, and re-
questing passports for himself, and informing his
LOrdship he is authorised to leave Mr. BEASLY as

A letter is subjoined from Lord CASTLEREAGH,
inclosing the passports, and allowing Mr. BEASLY

We yesterday had neither room nor time to of-
fer any comments upon that most extraordinary •
document, the 29th Bulletin of the Grand French
Army. Never, we believe, was there before pub-'
dished such an official:detail:of losses and calami-
ties ; but dreadful as the picture is, We are to re-
collect that it is now placed before our eyes
in .the most favourable point of view ; that
the miseries and privations of • the troops are
'softened, and their successes either _exagge-
rated or invented. It is unnecessary to follow.,
this .Bulletin through the whole of its inconsist;
CliCieS and contradictions ; indeed, they are too
.obvious to.escape the notice of the most inatten-
tive 13..eader. It appears that BUONAPARTE owei
his safety entirely to the interposition of the forces
under Vic Tort and OUDINOT ; for the wreck of
the army that he brought with him from Moscow,
was, by his own account,
,unable to; meet an
enemy in the field. The body of Men under hi 4
command, had not (he confesses) .any one
requisite, moral or physical, necessary to con-
stitute an army They were weak in body,
depressed in mind,:starving, and mutinous. They
had no cavalry; no artillery, - and very little am-
munition ; no waggons for baggage, or even
provisions, Thirty thousand of his horses perish-
,ed in a few dayS. How many of his wretched
human -victims perished at the, same time
he has not told us. The appearance
.of Vicroa
and OuniNoT saved this wretched Grew` from an-
nihilation. With respect to the accounts of the
'battles which took place afterwards, we have no

means of ascertaining ; but that he was success-
ful to a certain extent may be inferred froni
the circumstance of his having got, with a part
of his forces, as far as Sinergonie. What part of

his forces reached Molodetchni he has not
told us, but it must have been a very small
one,---He says, he sent off all his sick awl
wounded to Wilna ; but how he accomplishea
that object, without horses and without waggon .s,
it is impossible to conceive. We think it will tieo
out, that this " Father of his Soldiers" either lt
them to the mercy of the Russians, or to p‘risli
by the severity of the weather.

I.),.irrian works, from considering the author himself
ac corning to ,his• actions and 'to his miraculous
greatness." Montaigne, who with equal sagacity
.3aidged of men and things, would-not hate used any
other language, if he had spoken of these historical
monuments, with which our annals are enriched
by every campaign of bis Majesty; and he would,
above all, have rendered justice to this character,
always superior to the chances of fate and of for-
tune, which so, eminently distinguishes the hero
Nero will give his name to the 19th centdry. There
never, perhaps, has offered a sight more, remark=
able, than that of the French army in the midst of
uny enemy's country, deprived in the course of
eight days of its artillery, its transports, and of
nearly the whole of its cavalry, by the in-
tenseness of the cold: In this disastrous situa-
tion, the genius of' the Sovereign animates all;
foresees every thing, and prepares unexpected
resources. The enemies, who had the elements
for their auxiliaries, were beaten wherever they
appeared. -The March oldie French army, which
Was never delayed by any difficulty, is a Series of
triumphs, and the operations concluded with a
brilliant victory,which dissipates every fear. We
see this " sacred squadron," composed of brave
men selected from among the valiant, preserving
in the midst of dangers that constancy and that
gaiety in which many men, although' by nature
sufficiently formed for hardihood, " are defi-
cient :" and we may rest assured,_ that with such
an army, and such a General, the eventual suc-
cess of the war cannot be uncertain.
What more favourable circumstances can the
Russians expect for opposing( the French army ? If
they have been vanquished by troops fatigued and
deprived of cavalry and artillery, what will they
be, when these same troops %save in a great mea-
sure repaired their losses, and. shall again act on
'the offensive ? The results of this campaign
ought to convince 'the enemy, that it is impos-
sible to resist the forces brought against them,
and sliew them their future prospects in the darkest
Colours. Historians have noticed, as one of the
finest titles of glory to Hannibal, that he un-
derstood the method of keeping perfect harmony
among the troops of the different nations which
'composed his' array. This political and military
sphenomen is renewed in our days,—soldiers from
almost all parts of Europe, Collected under the
Same colours, are rivals only in zeal and devotion.
It is thus, that genius shows in all times the
• 'same resource's, and astonishes its contemporaries
vvitb similar prodigies. History above all,
remark those eminent finalities of 'his Majasty
the Emperor ; his skilful foresight which dives
into futurity, and his promptitude in repairing
his lossea, which never was possessed by any
other General in an equal degree. Already 20,000
bosses are collected in the different depots;
al
ready the artillery is in a formidable state, and
provisions of all kinds arrive in abundance. A
few weeks will be sufficient to put the army in a
far more brilliant situation than -it has ever yet
been in ;- and what should, above all, dissipate
every kind of inquietude, is, that the health of his
Majesty the Emperor has not suffered the least
alteration in the midst of the fatigues attending
the campaign.
By letters front Wflna, dated the Bth, we are
informed, that aVery thing necessary for the relief
of the sick and wounded, and useful for the ne-
ceSsitleA of the whole army, has been found in
that city. Within three months the magazines
• 'have been filled, and an easy communication exists
between the lines of the magazines of the army.
People, recently arrived from Poland, confirm
this 'intelligence, and add, that there are larger
quantities of supplies of ammunition, and pro-
visions of all kinds, in the different magazines,
than are necessary to support the army through
the whole Of the winter. ••

-there have been sold 30,000 copies of it. If we

FROM THE JOURNAL DE L'EMPIRE, OF DEC. 18.
There was last night a great riot at the Theatre.
Feydcau. They had annortnced Les Satots,
taros et Diego; and Jean de PaViS. After the first
"piece, an actor came forward, and informed the
audience, that -Martin was indisposed, and made a
propOsal to subStittite for the second piece Les
Garcons:—immediately the' most violent

clamours arose in the, Pit, 'The Actors, however,
attempted to perform the piece last announced,
but scarcely had the curtain rose, when they were
Stunned with hisses and groans. A lopg alterca-
tion then took place between the audience and the
actors : the latter were unmercifully pelted with
copper money. At length, atter an hour had
been thus spent, they were obliged to leave the e
stage ; the boxes soon took part in the contest,.
and the tumult continually increased, when seve-
ral Officers'of Police entered, and endeavoured to
restore tranquility to the Theatre. It was seve-
ral times offered to return the dissatisfied their
money ; but they, exclaimed, " We do not want
our money : we have been deceived : we have come
hither in the worst of weather from every quarter
of Paris, to see the spectacle announced in the
bills. The actors might at least have informed us
that they meant to change the bill before the
piece' began. They have not 'done so, and we
wish them to make an apology." At length, after
two hours' clamour,. it was declared that Martin
was really ill, that Baptiste would appear as his
substitute in Jean de Palis, and that all persons
not satisfied with this arrangement might receive
their money back. At these words the boxes and
pit were immediately emptied, and so many per-
sons left the Theatre, that the receipt, which was
about 2500 livres, was reduced to 850,
The actors'
.have been greatly to blame in this
affair. It apppears that they.might have given in-
formation-in the morning, of the' indisposition of
their comrade ; and that merely from fear of les-
sening the receipt they had promised themselves,
they had not thought proper to change the bill.
It is much to be wished that this lesson may teach
them What they owe to the public, of which they
appear to have too much lost sight.

,`VILNA,, DEC. 5.----The cavalry belonging to the
corps of the Dukes 'of Reggio and Bellunu has
not suffered in proportion to that whlch has ,arriv-
ed from Moscow ; it was this cavalry that made
such brilliant charges againserschitsachoil's corps.
Prince Schwartzenberg, and Marshal the Duke
of Tarentum, have
,also a very flue cavalry.—
These different united corps still offer an iiiiposing
aspect. •
We daily see reinforcements of men as well' as
transports of ammunition, and remount horses,
arrive, destined for the Grand Army, which,
thanks to those succours, will be completely re-
established before the end of winter. Prussia,
Saxony, Mecklenburg, France, Italy; Poland,
Bavaria, and the whole Confederation of the
Rhine, united in the same political system, pre-
sent such a mass of resources of every description,
that feeble efforts only are requisite to collect all
the means necessary for decisive operations
against the common enemy. Besides, we have
near us wherewith to supply our immediate wants-,
the magazines and arsenals upon the Niemen and
Vistula are filled. Poland is going to make all the
efforts her honour and salvation demand.' A Con-
federation of 24,000,000 of Europeans has sent us
its legions, to free us from the yoke of the Mus-
covites : we, are ourselves 15,000,000 of Poles :
how then doubt the issue of a contest in which
the most just of causes is suppot ted by superiority
of forces and talent the most decided ?

has brought that General's reports of the battles
that have taken place in the environs of

The head-quarters of the Prime were on the

corps has suffered very little in the engage-
ments which it has had With the Russian troops
under the command of General' Saelsen it
had nothing to do but to pursue the enemy, who
Was already routed. • Most 'probably the ffirst
number of the Vienna Gazette will contain the
official details of those event's.
Grand concerts are given every fortnight in this
capital, the produce of which is to be thrown into
the box of the ladies of benevolence:
The Police of Vienna, last week, discovered a
secret society, the members of which assembled
without.the barriers; among theM were several
public functionaries. As the functionarEes in ge-
neral, on entering into the service of the. State,
engage on o:eth not to be members of any secret
society, . these have . recei ti cd dismission. _ Such
strangers as had been admitted into this secret so-
ciety have received orders to leave the capital.
His Majesty's indisposition having ceased, the
customary audiences will recommence, and will
begin on Wednesday next. •

persons whom he saw present, yet he thought
might, perhaps, produce a better effect,. if the fir,t
meeting for this. object 'wns very nurner.Nus, and
that.those persons had notice of it who weige it:-
ustomed to take the lead upon. similar Occasioni.
The 'cause for which they were met had the znGst_

powerful claims, not only on the benevolent fen-
ingS, but,on the juctice of the English Nation.---
To those whom Providence had placed in high si-
tuations, and given the means of affording relief
to others, he must consider s;:ch a claim upon
their benevolence was a claim. on their justice.•—
The cause was certainly orfe which strongly ap-
pealed ;to :the best feelings of this country ; and
he must be permitted to :say, that there was no-
thing more beComing the exalted rank of his
Royal Highness (the Duke of York), nothing
more congenial to the feelings of his iliustrious
family,-than to be employed in the work of les-
sening the miseries of the distressed. (Applause.)
The last time that he had seen his Royal Highness
was in a similar situation; when he had 6ken the
Chair at a meeting convened for the purpose of
affording relief to the wants of his own country-
men. The measures then resolved upon had 'been
the means of-affording considerable relief to those
sufferings ; and he thought it right to mention
this circuinstance, that it might not be said tlyn.
the distresses of strangers were attended to, while
the'sufferingi of our own countrymen were forgot-
ten. -He thought that to come forward generously
on the present occasion would be natural to the
feelings of-Englishmen, and that it would be ho-
nourable to their character. Besides the feeling
of benevolehce to the sufferers, vie must consider
that their sufferings had beim, perhaps, our release
from sufferings—their sacrifices, perhaps the sal-
vation of this country. Be would say more : the
conduct and sufferings of the Russians in the pre-
-sent ycar had already, in some degree, increased
the contorts of every manufactum'sfamily in the
kingdom. • Such being the true state of the case,
benevolence and sympathy towards those suf-
ferers were natural, and required by justice. We
should .shew the world, that commerce, on the
scale which this country pursues it, does not nar-
row the heavt, and contract its sympathies, but
that it enlarges the mind, and extends those cha.-
rities, by which the different nations of the earth
are bound together as brethren. Our conduct, on
this occasion, should contradict the false asper-
sions of our enemies, that commerce has made us
so debased 'and selfish, that we can only feel for
our own immediate interests. When, upon such.
short notice, he saw such distinguished persons as
were then in the room, he thought it evident that
the Princes and Nobles of the land were impatient
to express their sense of the gallant conduct of
those ,men who bad made such great sacrifices-,
and their determination to alleviate, as much as
was in their- power, the distresses which flOwed
from them. Under such circumstances, he could
not avoid feeling a confident hope, that what
would be done would be honourable to this coun-
try, and would he most acceptable to those for
1 whose relief it was intended.
The Resolutions were then put, and carried wa-
niniously.
Mr. TIIORNTON apologised for the unavoidable
shortness of the notice, and stated, :that a Meet-
ing had been already convened in the City, and
that upon .that accountlt was thought better not
td postpone the Meeting to a later period.
He-afterwardO moved the thanks of the Meeting
to his Royal Highness the Duke of York.—This
motion was carried Knanimouslv.
His Royal Highness returned , thanks, and
stated, that be was authorised by the Prince Re-
gent to put his name at the head of the subscrip-
tion for 20.00/. (Applause.)
A Committee was then appointed to manage the
subscriptions', and transmit them to Russia.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL gives a grand dinner on

Lords WILLIAM PITT, FREDERICK, and SUSSEX
LENNOX, sons of the Duke of RICHMOND, ar-

that city.
The Adjutant-General and Quarter-Master-

The gallant Colonel TSCHEMISCHEW, who, at
the head of a reginient •of Cossacks, made that
wonderful march of in four days and a
half, surrounded on all sides by French corps, is
no less dexterous in politics than in war. It was
lie who, while in Paris, contrived to get a re-
gular communicatiOn of all BUONAPARTE'S plans,
by which Russia was apprised cf her danger in
time.. This successful exertion of diplomatic cun-
ning was, however, discovered by the incautious
resentment of the Emperor ALEXANDER himself,
who, unable to listen patiently to the perfidious
protestations of friendship made by Count LAU--;
lIISTUN, in the name of his Master, abruptly ex-
claiMed—" I know your Master deceives me ;
knciw as well as you the destination of the troops
he is marching into Germany, and I know they
are intended to attack my Empire." LAURISTON,
rather staggered, uttered some excuses, and re-
quested his Imperial Majesty's leave to send an
express to Paris, by whose return, he had n
doubt, he would -be enabled to give his Imperia
Majesty the most satisfactory explanations: The
demand was granted, "and a passport for the ex -
press. delivered accordingly. The Empror ALEX-
ANDER was soon,.hoWever, sensible of the inf.
prudence into, which his wounded feelings had be-
trayed him, and of the danger to which he had
exposed TSCHEMISCHEW. Orders - were accord-
ingly sent to stop the French express at the fron-
tier,and 11. Russian courier was at the same time
dispatched to Paris, with instructions to TSCHE-
MISCHEW to return to Russia, without losing a
moment. He took the hint, and as soon he
had crossed the Russian frontier, the French ex-
press was liberated, and allowed to proceed to his
destination. Our readers know, that in conse-
quence of the subsequent discovery BUONAPARTE
wt•eaked his vengeance on MICHEL, TSCHEMI-
S'CHEW'S agent, and they may guess with what
feelings of exultation the tyrant would have heard
of the capture of that gallant Officer.
