FALMOUTH, sun. 15.

We have to announcithe hiportant and agreeable
intelligence of AmcntcA hails% revoked the DECLA.
nATtan or Win against England, as will appear by
the following Letter, which we received from a Cot.
respondent at Liverponi this morning; and, from the
respectable channel by which it waienmcgogiqited to
us, we have no doubt of its nuthentiesly,sl.44, '

His Majesty's ketch Gleaner, 10 guns, arrived off
the Land's End this morning, with dispatches from,
America. The Messenger, in charge of the dis-
patches, arrived here about three o'clock this after-
noon, and went off again immediately in a post-chaise
and four for London. The Gleaner left New
York the 15th ult. and Halifax the 26th. At the
time she left New York, every appearance was of
the most hostile nature, and no alteration had taken
place in consequence of the notice of the revocation
of the Orders in Council ; and amongst the well-
informed of New York, it was not expected that any
alteration would take place, so long as President
MADISON remained in power. Parties run very
high in the United States, and very serious dig.
turbances were apprehended between the Fede-
ralists and their opponents, who wive very
violent. No accounts had been received at New
York of Commodore ROMER'S squadron, and the
Americans were much alarmed for them ; three large
privateers were carried into Halifax the 25th ult.
and that harbour was crowded with American prizes.
His Majesty's ship Belvidere had been chased into
the harbour of Halifax by two American frigates,
and after landing 200 American prisoners, had, in
company with a sloop of war, sailed in quest of the
I American frigates. Ills Majesty's ship' Indians 18
guns, with a convoy of 40 sail from St. John's, New
Brunswick, had _arrived at Halifax and were to
sail for England the day after the Ciiitret.
WAGNEU, the Editor of the Baltimore Federal Re.
publican paper, had established his press at George
Town near Washington, where he continued to
publish, and where he was supported by a strong
party of Federalists.

A vessel, called the Generai-Wafhinglori, k just
arrived from America in two-and-twenty' days, bring.
iAg the agreeable news of Peace. The PRESIDENT
Called a Meeting of the House of Assembly, when
the Declaration of War was revoked by a majority
of 53 to 36.

We have received further French Papers to the
12th instant, containing the Fifteenth Bulletin of the
Grand Army, dated the '27th pit, which will be found
important, although no fresh battle had taken place.
The Bulletin Is dated Slawkovo, on the road to
Moscow, and it appears that NAPOLEON intends to
make a detour to avoid the Forest of Volkonskelles.
The loss of the Russians in the defence of Sin°.
lensko and the battle of Valentina, is stated in
the Bulletin to amount from 25 to 30,000 men. It
is probable the above statement may be exaggerated,
but it is erideut that the French are rapidly advanc.
•
ing to Moscow, where, as we have Wore stated, it
is probable the campaign will terminate,

A Mail from Halifax has arrived, op to the 25th
ult. which corroborate the probability of an arnica-
ble adjustment taking place ; and states, that an Ar-
mistice, or•Suspentlan of Arms, was proposed by the
Governor-General of Canada, till an answer should
be obtained from the American Government respect-
ing overtures made by the British Court.--The fol.
lowing are extracts

We this morning received the following letter
from our Correspondent at Dover :

Scrr. 17.

It seems to be much doubted by the Courier, that
the passengeri who came from Calais, In the Sarah
Ilekaa,. had' seen the 15th Bulletin before they
quitted. that place; but to this I can add, that they
natonly saw it, but also read the Monileur, into
which it was copied, and bore date the Ist instant.
Thera-certainly were no rejoicings on the occasion,
nor the least manifestation of pleasure visible in the
countenances of.the inhabitants of Calais. One of
the pitrle9gers had possessed himself of a Bulletin,
but It wits taken from him by the Commissary, who

to this country) they would not fail to make known
the universal successes of their Emecaon, at the same
time cautioning them, that should the slightest word
derogatory to the honour of the EMPEROR, or the
interest of the great Empire, escape their lips, agents
were employed all over the world, who would note
and send an account of their actions, and their pu-
nishment would be according. It is astonishing what
methods they have of circulating through the coun-
try the most partial victory over their enemy ; snuff—
boxes with plans of the attack, and maps of the si-
toation where the engagement took place, are sent
to every shop, and sold at 12 sous ; one of these
was purchased by a passenger, and shown me; it
contained a map of the Mission Empire on the lid,
and particularly noticed the place where the French
I had arrived.

Nothing public was known at Calais of the en.
trance of our army into Madrid, though it wa,
pored every where, and currently stated, that MAP.
most died two days after the battle of Salamancs, of
his wounds.

In the war with Austria and Russia the Tr.lnch
used to send Bulletins of their success, put into a
cask or keg, corked up and put afloat for our boat;
to pick up, it is therefore to he wondered that they
have not had recourse to their old expedient, after
the many great battles they have won in Spain and
Russia, lately puliished in their Bulletins.

Letters from Cuellar and Madrid, of the 27th tilt:
are said to mention, that " the Marquis of Wm-
LINGTON had reinforced General Custroiv, at Cuel.
lar, with the 4241 and Wid regiments ; and no doubt
was entertained of the General being able to keep
the remains of MARMONT'S army in complete check.
Our troops, from the great exertions made, wanted a
little rest before they recommenced very active ope.
rations •, but that part of the euemfs army which
they had driven before them, required rest fully as
much. Gen. lltr.r. was at his former position on the
2.lth ult. Col. STIRLING, of the 42d, has been
ap-
pointed to the command of a brigade. "—Other ac.
counts which we seen, state that Bosspirr had crossed

ter an engagement of two hours the merchantman
had two men killed and three or four wounded. The
privateer had destroyed several vessels off Marti•
nique. All the ships of war are out cruizing, except
the Dragon, which is at the Saints. The naval force
upon the station is not sufficient for the protection of
the Islands."

Extract of a letter from Palermo, July
" The politics of this country have taken a most ,
favourable torn. Parliament met a few days ago,
for the purpose of considering the perilous situation
of the country. The Nobility unanimously re- .
solved, and announced it with acclamation, that the
feudal system should be abolished ; that they would
give op all their rights and privileges ; and that the
peasantry and themselves should enjoy the same laws.
They further declare the Sicilian Constitution de-
cayed, and that it was necessary to form a new one
after that of England ; that the Parliament should
consist of Lords and Commons, and that the King
should not have power to do any thing n ithout the
T6nitchrbt The- Partiarnent ; that the Jodgets-shosild-
be declared independent, and appointed for life.—
Lord W. BENTINCIL is appointed Lord Chancellor :
in fact, every thing is now arranged as favourably as'
we can wish. The QUEEN came to town next morn.
ing in great state, supposing every thing would have
gone on in the House as she wished ; and that once
more she would have taken up the reins of Govern.
omit, little expecting what she had to meet in Palermo.
However, she very prudently retired into the coun.
try the same morning. Thus a most wonderful lte-
. volution has been effected without a drop of blood
being shed, or any confusion taking place."
Yesterday licences for ships proceeding from the
United States with grain to the Peninsula were stop.
