the question, Why did you not-make this offer to
Great' Britain before the war, before so much ex-
pense
of blood and -treasure? Although the penal
.provisions of the Bill are not sufficient to secure
effectually a treaty provision for excluding British
Seamen from our vessels, yet it is a legislative pledge
of future policy, -favourable to a pacification with
Greet Britain, It is not a war Inestsure—it cnnnot
be;--.as far as it goes. it looks to peace. Under
these views, many Federalists will vote for the Billt
but with a distinct understanding, that in no event
Will they consent to continue this disastrous war, at
an expense of blood and treasure, of general suffer-
ing, exceeding a hundrediold the evil complained of
—the object of the star.

RUSSIAN FORGES.

''''"•oll%-- •

The Russian force is divided We three large
armies—Lone under Wittgenstein a second under
Tchitchagotr, and .a third under Winsingerode ;
Kutusoff commanding the whole.
Wittgenstein's main force has crossed the Elbe, in
order to drive thcFrench- tette towards the Maine.
golt 44, Wittgenstein's corps, under Gen: Becken-
dojf, as entered Lubeck. Other corps are on the
Ftlbe, near Boitzenberg...
.Part of Tchitchagotf's army is near Thorn, whilst
another part is employed under Plaid( in''the siege
Of Dantzic.

Part of Winzingerode's army is near Custrin and
Lansberg. Another part occupies the old town of
Dresden, whilst another corps passed Cie Elbe at
Schadan, to turn Daroust.
About 100,000 Russian reinforcements are on the
Vistula.

The Prussian force is thus distributed :
General Blucher has moved from Silesia into
Saxony.
General York is at Berlin with the main army.
Detachments have been sent to Hamburgh and Ros-
tock, which are now occupied by Prussian corps.
Another Prussian detachment has invested Stettin,
which, by the last accounts, was ou the point of stir-
rendering.
A Swedish force is at Stralsund, and by the com-
mencement of the campaign the Crown Prince of
Sweden will have the command of 50,000 men.
The Russian force with which the campaign will
'..open cannot be less than 220,000 men.
The. Prussian 70,000.
Swedish and Pomeranian 50,000.
A grand total of 340,000 men.
To this must be added the force which Hnnover;
and Hesse, and Brunswick, and the Hanse Tuwus,
and perhaps Saxon• -,v fr fish,
