We have now received Paris Palters of a day later
in date than those of yesterday. They are silent as
to Sir Jour• Mtnt.tv's defeat on the coast of Cata-
lonia, and we are, therefore, borne out in our ton:
lecture of yesterday. That General has merely
changed the scene of his operations, and we do not
despair of hearing the next accounts of him from a
more accurate sotirce than that of a French newt.
Paper.
The Moire:sr of the 3d rnit. is full of details from
the Grand Army. We are again told of the Army
of Italy, and toe naturally look tdwards that emit:try
with the hope that a storm is gathering : it is evident;
at least, that BONAPARTE has some grounds for alarm
there; but whether from the wary policy of Austria,
or the more open rebellion of MURAT against his
Master, we have not evidence suffitient to enable us
to decide.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE AT THE OPEN.
ING OF THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.

We have received a copy of this important docu-
ment. It was delivered upon the 25th Of May.
Mr. MAinsore begins by stating, that the Emperor
of Russia, early npon the breaking out of the war
between Great Britain and America, offered his me-
diatiim, which was immediately accepted by America.
Two Envoys have been accordingly sent to St•
Petersburgh to negocitite, and also to form a sepa-
rate commercial treaty with Russia.
The Message asserts, that there are now no ade-
quate motives for Great Britain to continue the war.
It once more denies the right of search, and alledges
that America, by passing the Bill for preventing the
employment 6f foreign seamen, had done all that
can be reasonably eipected ; and all her conduct to-
wards Great Britain, has been marked by 44 studied'
Pairness."

On the sUbjett of the war how waging, the PREst•
DENT maintains, that it is carried on by the British
4, with savage fury on one frontier, and on a sys-
tem of plunder and conflagration on the other, which
are equally forbidden by a just respect for national
charActer And the laivs of civilized men."

The Message then alludes to- the action between
the Hornet and Peacock, as a brilliant naval achieve-
:mot ; and mentions that 22 augnientation of the
naval tcrce of America was in progress.
M AMON then states, that the events of the
campaign by land furkished topics of congiatulation,
and enumerates the attack and capture of Fort Yoi k
and Fort Meg:, and the superiority of the Americans
on the Lakes.

The sudden death of JOEL BARLOW, it asserts as the.
reason for the protracting the final adjustment of the
differences viith France.

The PRESIDENT next exhibits a view of the finances,
and compl.tins of the deficiency in the receipts for
the year. Additional taxes will therefore be neces-
sary—for no loan can be effected.in future without a
steady source of revenue. The last loan of sixteen
millions was obt.titted at the encrmitts rate of seven-
and-a-hall per cent.

From this cause the Message concludes with a for-
cible appeal to the ecergies of the American people,
in order to enab:e the President to continue the war,
which he again maintains has Wen entered upon for
the preservation of the clearest privileges of :hat
merous and deserving cl:lcs of the con;munity, who
by their prowess have contributed to the glory and
honour of their couiary.

The above is a correct analysis of this imp• runt
document, the whf)le of which shall be given in the
STAIt to-morrow.

Two Gottenburgh M.nils arrived this morrfng.
Their contents, so far as they relate to the emo-
tions of the CROWN PaINCE of SWEDEN and his AUDI,
are interesting, and we may add, satisfactory.
The American Plenipotentiaries have arrived at
Copenhagen, there to imbibe fresh animosities against
Great Britain and the cause of Eurorc. We can
indulge in no hopes of peace when we know that
they have commenced their diplomatic tour by a visit
to Copenhagen :

" GOTTENBURCH, JULY S.

" A Gentleman who left Stralsund a few days ago
states, that General Tschernecheff has received orders
to place himself under the command of the Crown
Prince of Sweden, whose army will n,,w amount to
between 70 and 80,000 men. Some trifling affairs
have taken place between the Swedish and Danish
outposts.

“ The Russian German Legion, consisting of 15,000
men, has arrived at Rugen, to rut itself under the
Crown Prince's orders.

" It is positively said, that Bonaparte sent an Aid-
de-Camp to the Commander of the Russian forces,
acting under the Crown Prince, to inform him of the
Armistice, and that according to it he was not to act
hostily against France ; who replied to him to the
following effect :—' That although he was Corn-
mander of the Russian corps, yet being placed under
the Crown Prince, he considered himself for the pre.
seat time as one of his Generals, and would conse-
quently follow any orders he might receive from him.'

4• Letters received from Berlin, dated the 21st of
June, say, that the Prussian army is quite enraged
at the Armistice, and even riotous on account of it.

•l A Treaty concluded between Great Britain,
Russia, and Prussia, is said to be very advantageous
to Great Britain."

Yesterday about two o'clock the QI:FEST, Princesses
ELIZAgITII and MARY, left the Queen's Palace for
the seat of the Duke of KENT, at Castlebar-hill, from
which place they proceeded to Windsoi. Previous
to her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES leaving the Queen's
Palace, they were visited by the Dtikes c.f YORK and
CAMBRIDGE, and a great number of the Nubility and
Persons of Distinction.

We are glad to hear that his Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE is considerably better, although
dot yet well enough to return to town.
It is not Irun, but Iranzun, about 15 miles from
Painplona, and 50 from France, at which the Mar.
quis of WELLINGTON was on the 24th of June, the
date of his last dispatches.
Asinsw NIXON, Esq. a gentleman of fortune in
the county of Meath, returned home in the middle of
last month, from a confinement of upwards of four
months in a lunatic asylum., He liar. brought an ac-
tion against ALEXANDER JACKSON, Esq. the Deputy
State Physician, for his confinement, is which he has
laid bia damages at £40,000.

the skill and valour which had achieved, on the 2lst
June, the decisive and splendid victory over the
French army near Vittoria. In the House i•f Lord:,
Earl B* Beast' particularly mentioned the death of
Lieutenant-Colonel CADOGAN. " A brave rcr more
meritorious officer," his Lordship said, this country
never possessed. When he received that wound in the
engagement which soon afterwards `roved mortal,
he desired his soldiers to bear him to a neighbouring
eminence—there he leaned his back against a tree.

ACCIDNNT.—Last night, as a gentleman's carriage;
was passing rather sharply through the turnpike at
the Surrey Theatre, BlackfriArs Road, a young boy,
genteelly dressed, attempted to cross the way, buti
unfortunately fell helore the horses, when the coach-1
man, not being able to draw them up at the instant,l
went over bin!. The boy then attempted to run off,
but instantly fill down, and was taken into a house
adjoining the place, where, on medical assistance mt•
tending, it was discovered that one of his kgs
broken, and his body so dreadfully bruised, that oat
beget wen: animism' of his recovery.
