THE SIEGE AND NAVAL ENCIAGEMENT.—We have
not for a considerable time seen such simple yet in-
genious little works as Mr. Newrou's SIEGE and
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT. They are calculated at o lee
to improve the memory and recreate the mind They
combine a code of calculation which will be found
equally useful to the. tyro either in naval or military
titA s udies, and serve the auxiliary purpose of anvic•ment
*th instruction.—Naval and Military Academies
'in be served at the wholesale prices, by applying to
J. txKLAND, No. 23, Bronk.street, Holborn.

A letter from Anholt, gives the following state-
ment as to our intercourse with Russia :
ANHOLT, AUGUST 112.
41 We are a good deal enlivened by the understan.
ding that seems to be carrying on between Russia and
ourselves : every convoy that passes either conveys
to them ammunitiGn, or to us naval stores in vast
abundance. The commercial people here have great
hopes things may mend, from the anival of a very
valuable cargo of wrought silk overland from Italy
by the way of Stralsund ; tive or six more of the same
are daily looked for."
The American news contained in this day's Paper
possesses considerable interest, as presenting a picture
of the freedom with which the contending parties treat
each other in that country. With regard to future
. contingencies, the transatlantic Editors speak with
so better assurance than their brethren in England;
yet the failure of Mr. FosTeß's mission, or it least
the suspension of negociations, and the consequent
retirement of Mr. MADISON to his country seat, are

so repeatedly asserted, that we cannot
hesitate in assigning credit to them. The conductor
of the Baltimore Federal Republican speaks as his
politics sway him, with regret of the supposed dose
of Mr. Forrsa's eff.rts for an accotnmodatioa, and
adds, that the mission of this Gentleman " was an
experiment which was opposed by the British Mi-
nistry ; but that in this case they were over-ruled by
his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, who wu
determined to satisfy himself et the reality of a tem-
per in the American Government irreconcileable vith
amity, if it existed, or to bring about a reconciliau ,n,
if it were practicable."—lt is of importance to adds
under the present head, that the whole of the
few vessels said to have been released by Box*•
PETE since the Ist of November, are asserted to
have entered trench ports without having touched at •
England, the release of which was therefore entirely
compatible with the saistsace of the Berlin and Milan
