Reedy-Islard, on Friday last, in SO Days e ON
Lisbon, with fall cargo Of dry-goods. in
the Ellen, came home 80 American seamen,
put on board by the American Consul.
Mr.. Gnier, who Came passcoger In her,
has obligingly favored us with a very ex'en-

November.
Mr. Madison's racssage, on the meeting Of
the present Congress, has afforded ~ the re-

madyersion, in wnich they indulge, recipro-
cally, in the most bitter c0frent OF remark
The following article is from the Morning
Chronicle, OF the latest date, and In some
degree, may be considered as disclosing the
sentiments of no inconsidcrabfc portion OF
English politicians
The message OF the President will be
read with serious attention. The free and
confident language with which he speaks Of
the barbarous system Of warfare which we
are waging against defenceless towns and
Buildings, proper only for civil purposes,
proves the state Of public feclisg ia America,

us. When We look back 70 the high rankin
point Of maritime character, which we bcld
in April last, by the glorious achieve mcnts OF
our army in the Peninsula--and when, ny a
sort Of miracle, our perseverance in tho con

the allied sovcTcigns, was crowned With sue

ing the station which we now hold in tho eyes
of Europe. The conddct of ouc government,
tn tie Htfie, miserable soar, with the United
States. has ,arnished the glory we obtained.
The Liihnta1 Navy, and the raw nuh-
tia in hn,c,ica, have triun.phcd over our feeble
Ill advised and i'll directed efforts. On the
ocean, and epea on olr o1sn cQssfs, We have
been insuted with impuniiy, through the to-
tai Ignorance Of our Marine Department, and
on the American shores, the impotic and
uojustiiaole devastation committed on houses,
which were truly regarded as monuments OF

nation to act from principles Of revengef
But the mest larf,eotaDle, and the weak

having set up psctcntions TO new boundary,
which was sure to inf1amc the hostility OF the
Americans, and TO draw forth all their re-
sources against Us. we nndc 40 sdcquate y ~
srsiuus To enforce the claims that we set up,
cut suffered the whole year to pass over with
petty expeditions, and With reiEtorccments
sent in driDlcts, while all remonstrance from
our friends ID Canada were dlsregarced, our
brave troups left in helpless inferiori,y, with
an impotent, uhdccisivc commander, and the
very possessions that We hold endangered BY
the protraction Of the contests.
These things, we trust, will come next
week with becoming force from the mouths

The advice from Ghent could not be OF a
latter date than those we have already receiv.

The relations of The Continent, which have
been committed 10 the great Congress at
Vienna, were still unknown. Tho only arti.
Gle which We ind in these papers Of genuine
character is the following:
