FROM THE AMERICAN.

Our paper of to-day will be found unu-
snally interesting. The fate Of Europe is
dec ded. The Emperor of Russia, altho'
not present at the scent of action, vet in
the neighbourhood of it, has once more wit
messed the destruction of his most chosen
troops and the discontinue of all his
schemes, instigated 10y Engla for arres-
ting the progress of the French arms. He
must conclude humIliating peace and
measure back his troops to ST. Petersburg,
or If disposed to maintain kind OF fugi-
tive warfare, incur certain ruin and degra-
dalton. Not all the tribes of Tartars in
his extensive dominions can save him The
battle of Friedland will decide the neutral
principles of Austria if she had even been
disposed to waver and the king of Swc-
den, with all his Hotspur courage, must
acquiesce in the terms offered by Bonapar-
tie, or prepare for dethronement and parti-
tion of his states. The English forces, con-
corning which the British prints have so
long made pompous boast, viii have to re-
urn, or find their graves OH the shores of
the lHltic.
In addition to the important intelligence
brought by tile arrival at Boston, some few
articles have reached us, conveyed by a
vessel which has arrived at New-York
from Bordeaux: The principal items of
which follow:
1t was reported at Bourdeaux, on the day
captain Sklddy left it, that the King of PruS-
STA had made separate peace with France.
Letters received at Warsaw on the 9Th of
June from the French head quarters mem
tion this circumstance SO far as to state
that the Prellminaries were signed a.
DIVA, near Dantzic, on the first day Of that
month.
One of the late Paris papers contains the
following article -
A" At the same time that the news of the
expulsion of the English from Egypt gains
credit, it is asserted that corps of 1000
troops OF the same nation, landed in Gala
bria, has been cut to pieces by < neral Reg
mer The time chosen for this landing
would make one suppose it TO have been
concerted with the conspiracy Lately dis
covered at Naples. This would be a fresh
reason for being aston shed that the En-.
glish government should always resort TO
means VIII ch have ever proved fatal to il,
which would tarnish the lustre of success,
surprising they could have any, aud which
augment a hundred fold the shame OF de-
feat when it is the result Of such manoeu-
Vres."
Under date of Naples, 31st May, it is
said,
b' lfli5INW ldllutu ABOUT the enc OF
this month 5000 troops in Calabria. Ge-
neral Regnier has completely defeated
them, 800 remained on tire field OF battle
the remainder were maid prisoners A
conspiracy formed at Palermo, and which
was to break on, at Naples on Corpus
Christi day, has been discovered. The
five principal Conspirators were condemned
70 death, and executed within 44 hours"
The Paris dates by the New-Yorls arri-
val arc mp to the 25th June, but do not IN
cludc that day. The arrival from Nantz
at Boston, is one day later, and it was on
that day, (the 25th,) that the news of the
defeat Of the Russians reached Paris There
can be no doubt about tho truth oft. i
comes direct from the field Of battle
With respect 60 the report Of scpa.
rate peace between France and Prussia
which IT is stated prevailed at Bordeaux
that seems very doubtful. IL could harGl,
have taken place before tho last great bat
tie, or ghere would have becn some mention
of it IN the Paris papers and the news O
the battle is The latest chat has been recciv
