BREMEN, APRIL so.

On the 25th of April, the advanced guard of
Lieutenant-General Count Vandamme, commanded
by Prince de Reuss, met the enemy, 1500 strong,
with two pieces of artillery, in advance of Rhotten-
burg, attacked him with impetuosity, put some 80
men hors de combat, and drove him to Harbourg,
which we occupy, and compelled him to recross the
Elbe. The Prince of Reuss displayed on this occasion
his accustomed vigour, as well as the infantry ;—he
praises a detachment of thirty horse, which he had
under his orders. General Sebastiani's corps is at
Lunebourg, and in communication with him.

BAYREUTH, APRIL '29. •

WASHINGTON CITY, MARCH 6.

Yesterday the Russian Minister gave a very splen
did ball, in honour of the Anniversary of the Acces.
sion of his Emperor to the Throne. The distin•
guished men of both parties were present, and assn•
ciated with each other in the utmost hilarity and good
humour, and scemed pleased to do honour to the oc-
casion—thus evincing a warm affection to the Rus-
sian nation and its Sovereign.
If the report be true, that the Emperor of Russia
has, through his Minister in this country, offered his
mediation to adjust our quarrel with Great Britain,
how could our Administration refuse an offer so dis-
interested, by which both parties might have been
brought to an honourable pacification, so desirable to
both ?
MARCH 12. —lt has been stated, we have observed,
in some of the factious Prints, and may be believed
by some of their credulous readers, that the media-
tion of the Emperor of Russia between the United
States and Great Britain had been offered to our Go-
vernment, some lime ago, and rejected. We state it
as a fact, of which we have entire belief, that our
Government had received no intimation of such in-
tention on the part of the Emperor, directly or indi•
rectly, until since the adjournment of Congress, and
►hat it was then promptly accepted on the part of our
Government with the same frankness with which it
was tendered by the Russian Sovereign.]

Lord FORTESCUE presented a Petition from certain Free-
holders and other Inhabitants of the County of Dtvnn. praying
that such measures would be adopted by the Legislature, respect-
ing the Claims of the Catholics, as would be likely to satisfy all
classes of his Majesty's subjects.
Lord ROLLE took occasion to observe, that the Petition pre-
seated by the Noble Earl did not by any means contain or accord
with the general sense of the County, which Was decidedly con-
veyed in the Petition previously presented to the House, and
signed by 16,000 persons.
Lord BORINGDON defended the present Petition, as
being signed by a number of most respectable inhabitants, who
signified their wishes in a temperate, guarded, and conciliatory

spirit.
Lord ROLLE admitted that many of the signatures to the
present Petition were respectable; but the ser.se of the County,
whether measured by the number of freeholders, by the parishes,
or by the property and respectability of the individuals concern-
ed, was clearly against the Claims of the Catholics.
After some further observations from I.ord BORINCDON and
Lord FORTESCUE, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table,
and their Lordships adjourned to to-morrow.

on the Deputy Remembrances of the Exchequer's Bill to a Com.
mittee ; but expressed his hopes, at the same time, that a Right
