We have to tall the attention of our Readers to a most imp
portant State Paper connected with oar disputes with America.
It is in the farm of a letter from Mr. RUSSELL, the American`
Charge-d'Affaires in London, to Lord CASTLER 11A Gn. in answer
totog st ort note from his Lordship inclo:.ing the oonchtioneirepeat of

the Orders in Council, agreed to by the British Cabinet last April.
Ntr, Rp! s ate: letter most unequivocally chews that the MI&
rialto Government at the above period aimed at nothing more
than an unconditional repeal of the Oasts in Council prepara-
tory to a full and amicable compromise of all subsisting differ-
ences, and we are the more anxious to impress, this drcurnstance
tilt our Readers, because it has been whispered that America has
mince risen in her dijnands, a rumour which the tetziper and con-
duct of the jacobinical faction at the head of affairs at Washing-
' ten, affords but toe much ground for supposing to belvettfoluitlea...
the hallowing is the letter alluded to : •
(COPY.)
11R. RUSSELL TO LORD CASTLERZAGII.
SS My imito, tf 18, Bentiock-street, 25th April, 1512.
SS I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
. ale- note which your Lordship addressed to nus on
the 21st of this month, inclosing, by the command
of his R.., i.l Highness the Prince Regent, a copy of
a Deelarat:on accompanying an Order in council,
l‘hich had that day been passed.
" It would have afforded to me the highest satis-
faction, in communicating that declaration and order
to my Government, to have represented them as con-
ceived With a true spirit of conciliation, and with a
due regard to the honour and interests of the United
: btates. I regret, however, that so far from being
able to pet ceive in them any evidence of the arnica.
ble sentiments which are professed to animate the
councils of his Royal Highness, I am compelled to
consider them asap unequivocal proof of the deter-
mination of his Britannic Majesty's Government to
-adhere to a system, which, both as to principle and
fact,. originated, and has been continued in error ;
and against which the United States, so long as it
respects itself and the essential rights of the nation
over which it is placed, cannot cease to contend. :
" The United States havr never considered It their'
duty to enqui:e, nor do they pretend to decide, whe-
ther England or France was guilty in ielationto the
oilier, of the first violation of the public la* of na-
tions; but they :la consider it their most imperious
duty to protect themselves from the unjust operation
of the unprecedented measures of retaliation, profes-
sed by both poWers to be founded on such violation.
In this operation, by whichever party directed, the
United States -have never for a moment acquiesced,
nor by the slightest indication of such acquiescence
afforded a pretext for extending to them the evils by
which England and Fiance affect to retaliate on each
other. Ihey have in no instance departed from the
observance of that strict impartiality ,which their
peaceful position requited, and which' ought to have
;secured to Ilion the unmolested enjoyment of their
neutrality. To their astonishment, however, they
perceived that both these belligerent powers, under
The retrace of annoying each other, adopted and
rat. ul practice new principles of retaliations..involving
the destinction of those commercial and maritime
rights which the United States regard as essential
surd inseparable attiibutcs of their independence.
" Its remonstrances, its restrictions of commercial
intercourse, and its 'overtures for accommodation,
mere equally addressed to England and France; and
if their is Low an inequality in the relations of the
United States with these countries, it can only be
t ascribed to England herself, who rejected the terms
1 pit fired to both while France accepted them, and
who continues to execute her retaliatory edicts on the
• high seas, while those of France have there tensed
1,./ Operate.
Although aIiVC to ail the injury and =justice
of this s) stem, the American Government resorted
to no measures to rpi ore it, which were not.of the
most pacific and impartial character in relation' to
. both the aggressors. • • •
4S It Great, Prat:tip could not be pirsuaded; by
g onsiderations of universal equality, to refrain from
adopting any line of conduct, however unjust, for
which she might discover a ptecpdent in the*conduct
of her enemy, or to abandon an attempt of remotely
stud uncertainly annoying that enemy through the
immediate and sure destruction of the vital interests
* nf a neutral and unoffending state, yet it was conti-
nently expected that she would be willing to follow:
that enemy also, in his return towards. justice„ and,
from a resi ect to her own declarations, .'to irotced
pat-if:dune with him in the revocation of dui offending
. • edicts. This just expectation has, however, been
disappointed, and an exemption of the flag of the
: United States from the operation of the hierlin and
-Milan decrees has produced no corresponding modi-
-1 fication of the British Orders in Council. On the
tontrai y, the fact of such exemption oil the part of
Fiance appears, by the declaration and Order in
Council oi the British Government on the 21st of
this mood:, to be denied,-and the engagement of the
• latter to proceed step by step with Its enemy in the
wo.k fa repeal and relaxation, pa; bcdisowned or dis,
regarded. •
" a q.,t France has repealed her decrees, so far as
.thetioncerned the United States, has been estab-
lished by declarations and fatts satisfactory to them,
and which, it was presumed, would have been equal-
; .ly satistaitory to the British Government. A tor-
. :lust and authentic declaration of the French Go-
vernmen4 communicated to the Minister Pleuipo.
aentiasy ot the United States at Paris, on the sth of
'August; 1810, announced that the Decrees of Berlin
end Milan were.ro.stoked, and should- cease to ope-
rate on i& Ist of the succeeding November, provi-
ded tt.at a cona:tion presented to England, or ano-
ther condition presented to thr. United States should

r'

•
••The act of the sth of August, 1810, emanating
from the Sovereign of France, officially communica-
tedto the British Government, and satisfactorily ex-
poUnded and explained by the practical comments of
more than eighteen months, is denied to afford con-
vincing
evidence of the repeal of the French De-
crees, while full proof of their continuance is inferred
from a report, which, from its very nature, mnetl
contain the mere opinions and speculations of a sob-
ject, which is destitute of all authority until acted
upon by the body to which it was presented, which'
has found its way hither in no more authentic shape
than the columns of the Moniteur, and for the pro-
per understanding of which not a moment has been
allowed.
" But, even were the value thus assigned to the
Report just, it is still difficult to discover what infe-
rence can be fairly deduced from it incompatible
with the previous declarations and conduct of the
French Government exempting the United States
from the operation of its-Decrees. The very excep-
tion in that Report, with regard to nations which do
not suffer their flag to be denationalized, was un-
doubtedly made with a rtference to theUnitedStates,
; and with a view to reconcile the general tenor of
that Report with the good faith with which it be-
came France to observe the conventional repeal of
those Decrees in their favour. However novel may
be the terms employed, or whatever may be their
precise meaning, they ought to be interpreted to ac-
cord with the engagements of tl:e French Govern-.
-meat, and with justice and good faith.
Your Lordship will, I doubt not, the more rea-
dily acknowledge the propriety of considering the
Report in this light; by a reference to similar Re-
pens made to the same Conservative Senate, on the
18th of December, 1810, by the Duke of Cadore,
I (the predecessor of the present French Minister of
Exterior Relations) and by the Count de Simon,
ville. In these Reports they say to the Emperori
(which proves that such Reports are not to be con;.
-iidered as dictated by him) :••••4‘ Sire, so long al
England shall persist in her Orders in CounciF, so
long your Majesty will persist in your Decrees," and
$e the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are an answer to
the Orders in Council. The British Cabinet has,
thus to speak, dictated them to France. Europe re-
ceives them for her code, and this code shall become
the palladium of the liberty of the seas."—Surely
this language is as strong as that of the Report of
the 10th of March, and still more absolute; for there
is no qualification in it in favour of any nation : this
language has, both by an explanation from the Duke
of Cadore to me at the time, and by the uniform con-
duct of the French Government since, been recon-
ciled with the repeal of these Decrees, so far as they
Concerned the United States.
" Had the French decrees originally afforded an
adequate foundation for the British order;, and been I
continued after these reports, in their full force and
extent, surely during a per,od in which above an
hundrc-d American vessels and their cargoes have ;
fallen a prey tp these orders, some one solitary in-
stance of capture and contiscaticn must have hap-
pcued
under those decrees. That no such instance
has happened since, incontrovertibly proves, either
that those decrees were themselves harmless, or that,
they have been repealed ; and in either case they can
afford no rightful plea or pretext to Great Britain, for
these measures of pretended retaliation, whose sole
I effect is to lay waste the neutral commerce of Anse-
tica.
With the remnant of those decrees, which is still
,in force, and which consists of municipal regulations,
confined in their operation within the proper and up-
deniable jurisdiction of the states where they are ex-
ecuted, the United States have no concern. Nor do
they acknowledge themselves to be under any poll-.
tieal obligation, either to examine into the ends pro-
posed toe attained by this surviving portion of the
continental system, br to oppose their accomplish,.
went. Whatever may be intended to be done in re-
gard to other nations by this system, cannot be im-
puted to the United States, nor are they to be made
responsible, while they religiously observe the obliga-
tions of their neutrality, for the mode in which belli-
gerent nations may choose to exercise their power,
for the injury of each other. When, however these
nations exceed the just limits of their power by the in-
vasion of the rights of peaceful states, on 'the ocean,
which is subject tto the common and equal jurisdic-

WAR IN THE NORTH.
SUCCESSES OF 1 HIE RUSSIANS.

Although we cannot positively confirm the intelli-
gence of the total defeat of the French army on the
15th, yet we are enabled to lay official details, from
the Russian armies, before our Readers, from which
we cannot but draw the most favourable inferences.
In spite of the gasconade of the French Bulletins,
the Russians have completely routed all their de-
tached corps or armies of observation. The defeat
Of OVDINOT and of REGNJER has been complete ;
while the compbratively minor affairs of Ekau and
Mohilow have been such as to teach the French Ge-
nerals what they may expect when they come in
contact with the main body of the Russian army,
which is now concentrated at Smolensk, and whither
they are cautiously advancing.
But while the main body of the Russian army has
retired almost unmolested, they have repeatedly in-
flicted a chastisement on their invaders, so severe as
to inspire us with hopes that even a retreat may yet j
be resorted to ere they reach Smolensk, where, as it
would appear from the Russian Bulletins, a grand i
action may be expected.
The following ample details relative to the af-
fairs in the North, are chiefly extracted from the COM.
munications brought by another Gottenburgh Mail
;•which arrived last night :

near Witepsk, and, during their march to that posi-

our cavalry often swam, to surprise and pick up

SECOND BULLETIN.

" Head-Quarters, July 30.
a The corps of General Doctorow, who had direr•
tions to observe the motions of the enemy in the
vicinity of Bischen Kolwitscls, where a part cf their
troops were discovered marching towards him, began
to make motions, which retarded their progress. It
was therefore necessary to suffer them to pass the
Duna, in order to join the army which was stationed

deemed it necessary to confine him back to these

places, where on the 25th instant, Count Osterman

had stopped him, with a much mallet force than
that of the enemy. Count Konownezyn was order.

ed on this service. He replaced the corps of Os.
terman, and his division was, the whole of the 26th,
continually engaged. Our troops evinced equal
valour and constancy.
et The enemy did not gain a single foot of ground
of them. Lieutenant-General Konowneayn repulsed
all their attacks, and did not leave the spot till night,
when he received orders from the Commauder-jn.
Chief to take the position ordained to him for a ge-
neral battle. Meanwhile. General Doctorow paurd
the Duna, and arrived at the same place. The whale
rear-guard came under the command of Major-Ge-
neral Count Von Pahlen. They were drawn up at

ten wersts distance from the head position, and the
enemy was repotted to be bearing towards them.—
In the interim the Commander-in-Chief received in.
telligence by a courier from Prince Bagration, who
informed him, that having been advised of the ap..
proach of the first army 7 and fluding Mogileu al-
ready in the possession of the enemy's troops, alto-
ed the direction of his march to Fisch, and had taken
the road to Moteslaw and Smolensk—that his van-
guard had, on the preceding flay, had an engage-
ment, in which Lieutenant-General Rajewsky had
[ defeated the van-guard of Marshal Davoust's army,
and forced it to retreat a distance of twelve wersts.
This intelligence changed the Commander-inthief's
first plan, and determined him, instead of giving
battle in the vicinity of Witepsk, to march towards
Smolensk, and so much the more, as Marshal Da'
vouet could take his march thither with his whole
i.force, and by the same road. He took this bold de.
termination at the very moment when the rear-guard
was engaged in the hottest fight—he manoeuvred is
the face of the enemy, and drew himself back in
three columns. The Commander-in• Chief attributes
the good effect of this undertaking chiefly to the ad.
suitable disposition of Count Von Pahlen, who, by
covering the army, ha's on this occasion shewn proofs
of every thing that can be produced by skill and this
art of war. Our troops have given wonderful proofs
of courage; they have taken advantage of every
position ; the borders of the small river Latehepg
were defended with such obstinacy, that the enemy
lost a number of men in killed. General Von Pah•
len likewise understood how to rendez' the smallest
defile of utility, and an ambush was laid in a suit-
able place in the vicinity round Gaponowschlochemaj
has, on the march of the 29th, cut up seven French
squadrons.
a This day the second and third columns hare
joined at Poritschye; the first, which goes overLisna
and Rudna, covers their march ; General Mom
who is only at the distance of two days march, has
teceived orders to draw up his corps in the front al
~$
molinske, in order to cover the operations of the
first army. Prince Bagration, on his side, 6401'
lug with rapid marches towards Smolinsko. M.
',cording to accounts from Lieutenant-General Coat
Wittgenstein, he still continues .to hold himself se
Drina ; he 'tate' that Major-General Kilnews ab°
