| IAvtjow, Deeamlier 17. HrWinp the regiments now embarking for t ,¦¦ W '..i.-IurJios, is the 54th regiment, Sir David Baird's. December f&. An ftnpiish gentleman is arrived in town, who t&iei) traveUe'd fhrougll Poland. Ho rebovts that at the time hi* passed thAmirk Warsaw, an army of 130,000 men was col- hc.eu iii the viainity of uiat city. He was detained for twelve hours, and was sent to head-quarters to be examined. He stares, that the ..Russian army Were very indiffer- ently provided with artillery, relative to which, however, they expressed no con- cern, having determine'I to rely entirety on the effect, of the bayonet. Sir Sidney Smith arrived on Wednesday evening at Portsmouth, in the Termagant sloop of war, which arrived with dispatch- es From lord CoIIingwood, a 118 which brought the account of the loss of the Athe- ienne. December 22. An order of the councit has passed for permitting the < pening of trade with the government of Hayti. The traffic m ne- groes is strictly prohibited. According to letters from Madrid, of a •day later than the date of the Madrid Ga- zette, a strong rep rt prevailed in that ca- pital, that Buenos-Ayres had been recaptur- ed. We do not attach any credit to it, as the Lisbon mail has brought bills,. drawn on board the Ran-mab'ie, of 64 guns, captain Rowley, dated Rio Jcneiro, Sept. 3, for stores supplied to las majesty's squadron in the river Plate. December 24. Letters from Seville, of the 29th ultimo, state, in positive terms, that the French .of- ficers there made no secret of declaring that a rupture was on the eve of taking plae,e between Fiance and Spain. December 2r>. There is not the least foundation for the intelligence received at Gottenbar-g from Elsineur, thai the court of Denmark has at the requisition of Bonaparte, shut r'.e ports of Ilusem and Tonuiugen against the ijritisk vessels. December 27. In consequence of information received from Charleston, a deputation of American merchant? is said to have waited on lord Grenville yesterday, to receive instructions with respect to the line of conduct most prudent to be adopted under the - existing circumstances. The answer rumored to have been given was, that whatever incon- venience might have been experienced, there was very Htle likelihood of its being of long duration Letters from the French coast, of the j8th. inst. continue to state, that in all the ports to the westward, the utmost exertions are using in the equipment of privateers destined to capture neutral vessels bound to English ports ; and that upwards of sixty of them are expected to put to sea in a few days. Sir Samuel Hood sailed from Smthead on Thursday morning, in the Ceu aur, with the Comns frigate, to cruize oSf the West- ern Wands. A paper of yesterday says, his Sicilian majesty has, it is said, been pleased to con- fer on sir Sidney Smith the dignity of duke. December 29. Letters from Copenhagen of the 6th men- tion, that lord Hutchinson has proceeded On his mission.— -Probably he will go to Mcmel.oiKonigsberg. TheAotrfea, which carried out his lordship, has been so much .cd, that it is doubtful whether she can be repaired so as to be fit for the voyage home. Bonqpart.e on Kisttianjphal entry into Pa- ssu, announced his intention of proclaiming the independence of P»lstiid. He has sjtl.ee reached Warsaw, and the promised procla- mation has been issued. The declarations made upon this subject are said to excite strong sensations at the court of Vienna.— Some explanations have been required, arid general liellegarde basset out. for the arrjjy in Gallicia ; but still Austria persists in ah open and unqualified expression of her neu- tral determination. The several articles dated from the north cf Germany? as far as they respect England will be found not unimportant. A general embargo has taken place at Hamburg, and no neutral is allowed to sail, even in ballast ; and in Hanover and the neighboring places, all communication with England is forbid- den upon pain of death. General Mortier has obtained some successes over the Swedes in Pornerania. , Dispatches were received on Saturday from Mr. Thornton, which were brought to Yarmouth by the Carrier cutter, in fl days from the Elbe. All the French troops on .the Weserand the Elbe, with the exception only of a few small corps, left to garrison Hanover, Hamburg and Cuxhaven, had been Inarched for the Vistula ; and it was under- stood to be the intention of Bonaparte to pe- ne'j'TJite immediately into the Hessian terri- tories. The garrisons left behind on the Elbe and Weser, consist of Dutch and Itali- an trVv'3- Nine sjtS pf-t"e *'rte> and/three frigates •were ready for JS^a St Brest, on tiie 9th in- tte it. His majesty has been pleased to direct 5001. per ariPum be settled on sir Samuel Hood, in consideration of the loss of his aim. December 10. The report cf a war between Russia and Turkey rests on very doubtful ground. It is dated from Berlin, the very mint of fabric* tions. This rumour, perhaps was circulat- ed with a view to induce fheFrencri to sup- ple, that Bonaparte still retained his influ- ence in the Divan ; that such a war would divide the strength of Alexander ; in the mean time Sebastiani would exert all his arts to dissolve the treaty concluded between the courts of Petersburg and Constantinople. The French, it is well known, have placed off such) temporary, tricks, when any object was to be carried. If il should, however, turn on.' to be true, thai t'h& Turks has driv. Cn '•-¦¦- 1 ¦'.to the sword, the tbea- i Ire of war, in all probability, ' will be Irrms- ! ferred from Poland to Turkey. In such j a case, the navy of this country would i be or essential service to our ally. Efjypt would once mirfe fall into our hands, 1 and a trade with Persia thrown open to our merchants. If the articles of the treaty, inserted in the Statesman of yesterday, be authentic, all the christians of the Greek Church will range on the side of Russia, for in one of these articles it is expressly stipulated, that they shall be permitted to enter into the Russian service, a privilege they have long wished for, as a dawn of Cheering prospects. If the war has really broken out, and if the Russians have stretch- ed so far, as stated, into Turkey, it is a proof of the wisdom and activity of the cabinet of Petersburg, that it could not be lulled into false security; and that the most prompt measures were taken to put the army in motion on the first signal of hostilities. We feel sincerely happy in being able to state, that the treaty between this country and America is proceeding in the very best tram—and that the difficulties attending it are almost all surmounted—and that such a completion of it may speedily be looked for, as will en'suYe the permanent good inl- and mutual benefit of both countries in future.

[Vttiz ..] Captain Kearney of the ship Monticello, who arrived yesterday in 43 days from Am- sterdam, brings Dutch papers to the 26th of December. These papers contain no- thing from the seat of war of a later date than the French papers by the Kirn line. Captain K' informs that the day before he sailed a courier arrived at Amsterdam, bringing intelligence that the head-quarters cf the French army were at Warsaw ; and that the Grand Seignor was marching to. wards Russia, at the head of half a m'itli of soldiers, ' < Atr'wcd since aur last.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY \7. From the National Intelligencer of keb. 16, The letter from General /) "MS. R-'WS to the Secretary of Stats, referred to in the annexed copy of a letter from the General (0 Mr. Lt.e, the commercial agent of the United States, has not yet been received by the Secretary of St.iti>. Paris, 1\th Dec. 1806. Sir. You will finrl a passage for the enclosed letter as early as possible. I have this moment received the written assurances of the minister oi marine, fcha' icre'e of the aist, of Nov. last wil in no respect disturb the existing regulations of commerce between France and the U. States,of America, as settled by the conven- tion of the 30th of September. With much regard, Sec. Signed ¦ JOHN .ARMSTRONG. William Lix, Esq^. Such is the present, rage for economy, that the business of congress [and every body -.; they do business this session] is now performed without a quorum. Although our Beporter assures us that such was the fact yesterday—and although we are certain that the constitution is thus derided and dis- regarded by thtf Democrats, yet we Federal- ists will not complain. We have long been sensible that we know nothing of the science of government: we are untaught in the arts of pulling to pieces an instrument of such importance as the federal constitution, and at the same time publicly extoling its merits. Some impudent disciple of Washington may say, that as the present rulers are continual- ly altering the constitution to their purpose, so fast as theform of law will admit,theyneed not put it all down, without even the shew of legal procedure : but this is an unreason- able objection. The Democrats ale.te know when, by what mode, and how much,of the constitution to rescind. Judges Chase and Johnson dissented from the opinion of the court, to.grant the writ of habeus corpus, in favor of Bollman and Swartwout. Yesterday was commenced, before the Supreme Court at Washington, the trial of Bollman and Swartwout. From Lloyd's List. Dec. 19. At Ramsgate—Globe, Bailey, Baltimore, lost anchors, cables, &c.

General Floyd, commander of the district, who was present, felt highly sensible of the force and propriety of there- solutions. Congress of the United States, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, February 16. [Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.] Mr. J. Clay offered the following resoluti- on : Resolved, that a committee be appoint- ed to inquire into the expediency of consi. dering the propriety of explaining the ope- ration of the several acts of congress rela- tive to the marine corps and to the military peace establishment of the U. States, so far as ti'-c same may affect the. commandant of a marine corps; and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Chandler moved to strike out the words in Italic, in order that the whole sub- ject might be taken into,consideration. This motion was lost, and the resolution. was referred to a select committee of three members. Mr. Varnum, from the committee on post- offices and post-roads, presented a bill to al- ter and establish certain post-roads and for other purposes, whis.li was referred to a com- mittee of the whole to-morrow. Mr. Newton observed, that he wished to le attention of the house to a very im. portant subject—he meant the naval peace ihmerit of the If. S. By the law of , only 925 seamen and boys were authorized to be retained in service : the squadron kept in tne Mediterranean, for the'protection of our commerce in that quar- ter, employed 700 out of that number: ves- sels were now fitting out'to relieve that ,.:,.. 0, which would require more men than the president was-,'authorised to em- ploy. Besides, he contended that if our should be infested with priva- luring the recess, and cur merchant vessels should be taken aimost within our harbors, as bad been the case last year, the president had no authority under the exist- ing law, to man a single gun-boat. He therefore offered the following resolution -. Resolved, that a committee be appointed to inquire whether any, and if any, what al- terations ought to be made to the existing naval pcaie establishment of the U, S,. and Btat'tlieyjhaval^aiw to} M$ortjby5l>ul or"(5- therwise.

The resolution was then • referred to 3 ject committee of 3 members. The bill from the senate, in addition t.- the act establishing a mint & regulating the coins af theU.
