Power to principles more conformable to the rights of
• nations. Russia was not slow in departing from this
salutary system: The change, on her part, being an•
pounced by certain facts, and the means of negotiation ,
being ineffectually employed during the course of the
year 1811, the Emperor was bound to resort to mea-
I sures which the dignity of his Crown, the interest of
his people, and the darrger of his.allies dictated. The
treaties which are about to be laid bilore you form a
step towards the execution of this design.
"His Highness then delivered the documents refer-
red to in his speech.
REPORT OF THE MINISTER FOR FOREION AFFAIRS TO
THE LMPERoR, ETC. • '
" ante—The Treaty between France and Russia
was a treaty of offensive alliance against England.
It was on your return from the conferences of the
Niemen, in which the Emperor Alexander said to
your Majesty that he would be your second against
England, that you determined to sacrifice the advan-
tages that victory had given you, and to pass rapidly
from the state of war to the state 'of alliance with
Russia. This alliance, which augmented for France
the means of war against England; ought also to
have secured the peace of the Continent. In 1809,
however, Austria made war upon France. Russia,
in contradiction to the precise text of treaties, affor-
ded no aid to your Majesty. Instead of the 150,000
men which might have been put in motion, and
which ought to have suprorted the French army,
only 15,000 were brought into the field, and by the
time they crossed the Russian frontier the fate of the
war was decided.
44 After this epoch, Sire, the ukase of the 19th of
December, 1810, which destroy ed our commercial
relaticns with Russia, the admission of English com-
merce into her ports, her armings, which, from the I.
commencement of 1811, threatened the invasion of
the Duchy of Warsaw, finally, the protest respecting
Oldenburgh, annihilited the alliance. It no longer I
existed, when on both sides armies were formed for
reciprocal observation.
" The whole of the year 1811 was, however, spent
in conferences and negotiations with Russia, in the
hope of withdrawing, if possible, the Cabinet of
Petersbusgh from the war, upon which it appeared to
be resolved, and to obtain a knowledge of its real in-
tentions. It is proved to the certainty of evidence,
that that power proposed at the same tittle to depart
from the conditions of the Treaty of Tilsit, to place
herself in peace with England, and to menace the ex-
` istence of the Duchy of Warsaw, making use of the
Ipretest of indemnities claimed for the Duke of Olden-
burgh.
Your Majesty, determined to maintain, by arms,
the honour of treaties, the existence and integrity of
the States of your Allies, has felt the importance of
uniting yourself more closely to a Power, to which
you were already attached by words dear to your
heart, and the general political interests cf which are
the same as those of your Majesty ; for this purpose,
a Treaty was concluded on the 14th of this month
with Austria.
" Every thing promises a long duration to this al-
liance. It assures repose to the South of Europe,
and promises to France that she shall no longer be
disturbed in her efforts for the re-establishment of a
maritime peace. (Signed)lg " DUD DE BAsSANO.

valry near Llerena, in which Lieutenant STRENUWITZ

RODRIGO TO SALAMANCA, JUNE 14.
18 We have commenced our march, and in three
days more we hope to be at Salamanca—we are now
eight leagues from it. We left Elbodon on the 11th
inst. The Light Division with the Ist Hussars,
King's German Legion, form our advanced guard.
About a league behind are head quarters, with the
4th and .sth Divisions of Infantry, and four regiments
of cavalry, forming the centre column.
" On our right are the Ist, 6th, and 7th divisions,
with two regiments of cavalry, under Sir THOMAS
GRAHAM; on the left General Ptarcor, with the 3d
division, two brigades of Portuguese infantry, and
two regiments of cavalry also. This is the line of
march, as we have to-day marched 4 leagues, and we
are under arms now every morning at three A. M. so
you must hot expect a long letter from the."

el With this you will receive accounts of the
capture of Salimanca, on the lath. The JAS-
Piles convoy.. (wish horses principally I /tsar)
from Portsmouth, arrived here on Saturday.—lt
is reported that one of the transports, with 50 horses,
was taken by a French squadron from Brest ; but in
our best informed circles, it is not believed that the
French have any fleet at sea—if they have, Sir Tnos.
HARDY knows nothing of it. As this report may be
-mentioned in other letters, I think it right to inform
you that it rests on no good authority."

We this day continue our extracts from the Ame-
rican Papers received yesterday. The letter from
Mr. FOSTER to Mr. Moo is one of the ablest docu-
inents we have yet seen on the subject of the Ameri-
can question, and shews how
.groundless must any
complaint be which the American Government may
make on the arrival of the repeal of the Orders in
Council.
The determined spirit of hostilityevinced against thil
country still gives us reason to expect an attempt to
involve us in new negociations, for there is every rea-
son to believe that Ministers are in full possession of
the result of the &liberations of the Senate, which is
said to have declared for instant war. Yesterday a
Deputation of American Merchants waited on MT.
VANrarrAliT,:,to inquire whether Government was, or
was not, informed of the result of the deliberations of
the American Legislature. ? The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQU alt declined giving, any answer to that ap-
plication, and the construction from this silence is
extremely unfavourable. If tranquillity were main-
tained, there could be no objection, and there would
be every motive to appease the anxiety of the appli-
cants ; but if the contrary, and war were either likely
or certain, an embargo will be instantly imposed, and

In the.greater part of our impression of yesterday
we mentioned the arrival of Paris Papers, commu-
nicating the important intelligence of France having
declared war against Russia, and having received the
Papers themselves this morning, we present our Rea-
ders with the following extracts, which will be fuund
to contain the most important part of their contents.
The date of these Papers is of the 4th and sth insr.
The intelligence, from what may now be regarded as
the seat of war in the North, is to a very recent date.
No act of hostility had taken place previous to the
22d of June, but all is ready for some dreadful'explo-
sion. The Message of NAPOLEON to the Senate, and
the report of the Duke of BASSANN is in part a decla-
ration of war against Russia, but no mention what-
ever is made of Sweden :
