The official Document given in another part of our
Paper, from an American Newspaper, is perhaps the
most remarkable that has for some years proceeded
from the Cab net of Si. ClOud. It is a dispatch
from the French Minister for Foreign Affair; rela-
tive to the conduct and determination of B3NAPARTS
respecting this country. About Octobcfr last, some
wavering and indecision were discoverable on the
part of the Councils of the Nlourt of Petersburgh.
The pressure of the war with this country had began
to be sorely felt, as well as the ruinous policy of
the continental system. A desire far a reconcilia-
tion with England became prevalent, and hence
this important document, entering into an historical
view of the politics of this Country, was drawn
up with the view of making the Emperor Acex-
, ANDER conceive that the Continent could never be
happy er at peace so long as Great Britain remained`
In her present state of pre-eminence. This docu
ment was delivered to the Russian Ambassador at
Paris, and by him sent to his Government. It lid
not produce the desired effect upon the Russian -Ca-
binet, which, desirous of improving a good under-
standing with America, of warning her of the manner
in which she was spoken of by BONAPARTE, and pos-
sibly, too, of hav;ng the document made known to
this country, communicated it to Mr. J. Q. ADAMS,
the American Minister at Petersburg!), who trans-
, mitted a copy of it to his Government, and to his
I father, through whom it has cbtained publicity.-
1 The object of this document, it• will be seen, is ni-
thing less than a total change in the Constitution
of this country, until which is effected Europe wi 1
continue to be disturbed. Another Cons:i ution,
which is to destroy all our liberties, is, it tee:ns. to
be offered to us ;—if we adopt it our indricfidence
and dominions, will be guaranteed ; —but it we
refuse it, we are to be treated as outlaws ;--ao
more neutrals are to be endured ;—capital punish-
ments are to be inflicted on all Powers trading with
us ; and without the adoption of these plans, a truce
only can be signed, hut a peace can never be con-
cluded between Great Britain and the Continent. A
more daring avowal of a diabolical design never cer-
tainly escaped from the lips or heart of man.
A letter has been received, dated Rio Janeiro, Ist
of May, in which it is stated, that Ott Princess CHAR..
Lorry., the wife of the Prince REGENT of Porto* al,
is contriving, with the concurrence of the Spanish
Ambassador, the Marquis Da YRUJO, to take posses-
sion of the territory of Buenos Ayres, situated on the
North coast of the river De la Plata.

The two Russian harbours which are about to be
declared free ports, in order to favour the comm::rcial
intercourse with this country, are Archangel, in the
North Sea, and Liehau, in Elie Baltic.
1 here are licences in town for shipping goods Jima
from this country to Russia. They are signed by the
Emperor ALEXANDER, and are principally L.:. the
importation of drugs.
The wind having been Northerly in the Channel
for these few days past, there can be little doubt that
the transports with the reinforcements for 1'.,0 i ugal ,
which sailed from Plymouth on Friday n' lit and
Saturday morning, have reached Lisbon by this time.

Sir Jamas CRAIG, late Governor of Quebec, has
reached England by the AMELIA frigate. It is said
that the General who commands on the Halifax sta-
tion
is to succeed in the Government of Quebec, as
the age and infirmities of Sir JAMES, after, long ser-
vice, unfit this Officer for the active duties which,
under the new circumstances with respect to the Uni-
ted States, he might be called upon to perform.
DUBLIN, JULY W.—This morning, about one
o'clock, one of the Roscommon regiment cf militia,
while standing centry at the naval hospital on the
north wall, was attacked in the most sudden manner
by some nefarious assassin, as yet unknown. The vil-
lain accosted the sentinel in theft ',lowing words :---
" You rascal, you have sold your country for tio w
guineas—take that," and instantly discharged a pis-
tol at the centry, the contents of which entered his
body, and matally wounded him. The ruffian af-
terwards flung the pistol in the soldier's face, and im-
mediately absconded. The unfortunate victim of as-
sassination survived but a few hours, yet long enough
to relate the atrocious circumstance ; :titer which he
lexpired in great agony, leaving a widow an.: three
%children, to lament his fate.
