WASHINGTON CITY,.August 4.

We have seen with great regret and sur
prise the many misrepresentation of the views
of the government which are daily published
in the federal prints. At time like this, when
the exertions of every individual should be
directed to an efficient prosecution Of the war;
solennly declared by the constituted autho'
rites, such misrepresentation cannotbut HAYS
the most baneful influence as well on the pre-
sent as on the future prospects OF our cOun'

From the aurora,


The news frem the north of Europe is of
considerable Importance to the friends OF
peace, since should it be true thar the En-
Prr0r .7icrander has sent a supplication -
the Corsfcan Corhorat. the peace of Europe
will be sooner brought to a determinate
issue, and general peace will be the ne
cessary effect. We are not however so
Confident that the Russian emperor has sent
a carte blanche though we entertain no
doubt whatever, that such will be the effect
IN the result (; we rather think that Bona
parte has a design on the church--he has
got the pope on his side already, and the
Greek hdtriareh at Moscow may be one of
his obIects--at least as there arc only fifteen
hundred chNrche8 in Moscow, we may be
sustained IN the notion that he means to let
his soldiers see, the inside of them. We
would recommend this vie W of the subject
