en entinY,s superiority has escaped from the Frendi
pr(ss so strong as in their last account of the Battle
sof Salimanca. We have only to repeat, their own
esprewons. After relating the citlannstance of
isiAnmor's being disabled by his wounds, they tell
es General CLAUZEL took the command; and prodi-
rei of valour were performed by the French; yet,
irerthefra, (on this word rests the truth) the accident
which had happened to the Duke of RAGL'SA had
fr the first determined General CLAuzEt. to retire
urn the right of the Torm,s. Thus it appears that
existing circumstances, and the prudence of General
CLAUZU occasioned the retreat of the French army.

AMERICA.
However sanguine those interested in the welfare
of America may be in their expectations of a suspen-
sion of hostilities, the instant the repeal of the Orders
in Council is made made known at the seat of Go-
vernment* we understand that since the arrival of Mr.
Fo.TEn, Ministers are prepared fni a threat of the,
continuance of the war, unless some further conceit-II
sions are made. The controul exercised by all civi• I
lized Governments over the subjects born within
their Clotriiiiions, has been openly controverted by Mr. I
MADISON and his party for several years past, in
pamphlets and official documents. The protection
afforded to the deserters from our navy by the Ame-
rican States is an Injury which Great Britain has re-
ceived at the hands of America, and which has been
forgiven with becoming magnanimity : but if Mr.
MADISON and his College of French Jurists, at
Washington, are disposed to touch this discor-
dant string once more, we believe we may tell
them the 131 itith Government will expend the last
shilling in its Treasury rather than depart from the
most trifling of those advantages which the superio.
rity of our navy has gained us over other maritime
states, and which have been sanctioned by the law of
nations from time immemor'al.

MEDITERRANEAN MAILS.
Mails from the Mediterranean have arrived at Fal-
mouth, brought by the Manchester packet ; she sailed
from Malta on the 12th July, and from Gibraltar on
the 6th instant. General BALLASTIKOS, who had
advanced to Malaga and whose communication with
Gibraltar was supposed to have been cut off by the
French, had again retreated under the guns of the
_ _ _

Fortress in good order. The victory of Marquis

Wei.usoroN at Salamanca hastened the departure
of the French from San Roque, but BALLASTEROS
had pi•eviously a smart affair with them at Ossuna,
in which his army greatly distinguished itself. The
expedition against Catalonia has been' delayed or

instant the repeal of the Orders in Council is made
known at Washington. The same letters also state,
that a contrary line of policy will utterly ruin MADI-
SON and his party in the estimation of even those hot-
headed Jacobins who support him, and that a Fed&
ral Administration 'will undoubtedly arise out of the
devolution in public opinion, which his obstinacy may
create. The Pacific was to sail as a cartel from Bos-

A letter from Messina, by the above mail, dated
the 7th July, informs us, that the Sicilians were far
from being unanimous in their approbation of the

turbances at Palermo* but all was quiet at Messina.
