LONDON, Nov. !.
We are happy to learn, by letters from
Moscow, that a very considerable portion
of that once beastiful city has been rebuilt.
1t was estimated that not less than one third
would be rooted in and perfectly habitable
by the commencement OF winter.

Extract from speech Of Lord Compton.
He would now turn to the New World,
and lamented that nation processing prin-
ciples of liberty, should have united in sup
port of the most eXecrable despotism, and
counteracted the progress OF the cause of
European freedom tie might be told that
America was not the Ally of France He
knew that she had not signed and sealed
formal treaty Of alliance with that country
but she had formed that species of alliance
which was fully an equivalent, by giving
her all the assista nee of her power in the
contest now waging. However, he hoped
the hour of her awakening to her true in
terests drew near.
She has already reused from her dream
of maritime superiority, by the thunder of
the Shannon and when she saw the heroic
and successful resistance of Canada, when
she found her commerce annlhilated, her
ports blockaded, her armies captured and
destroyed, she must perceive the inutility
of her efforts to I'M ure our power, and,
with the declining fortunes of France, her
blindness must dissipate, her eyes open to
the light, and her mind to wisdom"
1t appears by the debates in the British
Parliament, that the restoration of the in
dependence of Holland is an important OBJ
ject of contemplation and design.
