Lest n'Yht the letter-bqg of the Shin
! ðsrdes8, whcscloss we -anounced in our
PAPER ofycsterday evening, was brought up 70
town. From cur correspondent i'm London,
we lave received papers from the SOth Of
August to The Sch Of September, inclusive,
and our mercantile friends have politcl,.
i1rai he'd us wild. ether papers Of cotempo-
Irareous dates, and Lloyd's List to the 9TH Of
September.
The contents of these papers are of the
first interest, and indace us to issue an eX-
ira paper.
The circumstance which is deemed Of
! most Importance, is tie refusol ofthe En-
heror of Russia, 10 ratify the 7'rcafy con-
cfHdcd goih so much haste By his minister
I a. PdTis. The utmost activity prevails
throughnut this monarch's domin;ons, and
every thing announces the renewal of war.
I The Hfag Of Prussia mistaken the alarm,
and is aimirg with great activity, his dispute
with Swedenis in Z fair way ofaccommoda-
ton, and northern con!cderacy cf Ge..ma-
ny with Russia, Sweden and Denmark is
forming. The new king Of Holland and the
king of Prussia are at vayiancc.-Thc nc
quotations between France and England
from what we receive, have made no pro-
gress, the prevailing opinion appears TO be
against peace.
The british and French armies in Gala
lbris, have met, and we give the oiiicfa, de-
tai OF IN action which has crowned the Bri-
tisl Will immortal glory. Less than 5000
British, defeated 1000 French with immense
lioss in slain and made prisoners. It does
not appear that the consequences have COR
responded with the brilliancy Of the atchiev-
ment. The proximity Of Massina, with a
powerful army, compelled the British to
re -embark for Sic;I-.
The arrival of Jerome Bonaparte in
France, Is celebrated as naval Triumph
Fotunc and his heels, and not his courage,
have given eciat to this YOUNG naval hero.
The Gibraltar, Of so guns, chased him for
~ hours, and having got very near to him.

ried away the fore-topmsst of the Gihral-
tar, and thus he escaped. 1t was Jerome
who fell IN with, aud DESTROYED a large part

Thus, according to the most moderate
writers, the English government would ne
yer see any thing in peace but means OF
more advantsgeously making war. The
,negociations they open would be snears, the
olive branch they held out, poison. Uu-
der such circumstances, with such eneme;s,
france owes thanks to him who, pcnetra-
ting their designs, has found means to sc
cure himself against them. But from the
fatality ever attendant on their plots, after
revealing their secrets, they have again be-
traYed their cause. Their position is not
more favorable than at the end OF Lass
war.
They have neither more skilful generals,
better exercised soldiers, nor better con-
certed designs. If they again find allies on
the continent they devote them to certain
ruin. The Emperor Napoleon has read
