Admiralty, January 18.
Ml Lord,
I have the honor to transmit to your
lordship an extract of a letter received this
morniuy; from lord Colling wood, and also
an extract of a letter from captain Mudge,
from Portsmouth, describing the informati-
on given to him by the master of the Spanish
sclir. El Cupido, captured by the Colpoys
on the 27th ultimo.
T. GRENVILLE.
Sight Honorable Lord Mayor.
Extract of a letter from Lord Collingivood,
dated Ocean,, off Co.d'r::,, January 1, by the
Princess Elizabeth, Malta Packet.
I beg you will be pleased to inform my
lords commissioners of the admiralty, that
the Beagie has just joined with a Spanish
schooner she captured yesterday from Monte
"Viedo, which she left ,011 the 17th Septem-
ber ; and, I am sorry to inform their lord-
ships, she brings the accounts of Buenos-
Ayres having been re-captured on the 13th
August ; and general Beresford, and the
•whole troops, amounting to about 1400,
¦were made prisoners of wtir, and marched
into the interior.
January 31.
The report of a battle between the Rus-
sians and French in Poland, which has ter-
minated greatly itt favor of the former, con-
tinues to prevail. Admiral Rnssel, it is now
stated, had sent dispatches to the admiralty,
that speak of his having rece:-"i such intel-
ligence from several neutral ships, which
have passed him off the Texel. It is further
repotted, but we know not on what author-
ity) that Austria has declared in favor of
Russia.
Rumors from the French coast make men-
lion of an action, but do not state what has
been the result of it.
January 22.
We are happy to have it in our power to
lay before our readers some most important
and gratifying intelligence from the conti-
nent. A gentleman arrived this morning at
the foreign office, from Poland ; he has
brought lettert for lord Howick from Mr.
Adair, at V ienna, and was also able, from
his own observation, to communicate very
important information. The substance of
T.he intelligence which he brings is, that the
French army is in a most deplorable condi-
tion ; the number of men carried off by dis-
ease is estimated at not less than 40,000.
It does not appear that any decisive battle
has been fought, although there have been a
great many skirmishes, which have termi-
nated with various success ; but generally
iu favor of the Russians.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

American Trade.
Gen. Gascoigue, seeing the noble lord op-
posite (Howick) in his place, wished to put
a question to hi* on a subject of much im-
portance to tiie commercial world, and in-
volving in a very great extent the interests
of his constituents. A letter had been pub-
lished lately, written by the noble lord to a
principal American merchant (Mr. Sansoni)
¦which letter required sewne further explana-
tion to remove an uncertainty that had been
created by it, as to the safety of resuming
the exportation to America, which had been
prohibited by the non-importation act of that
country. He wished to know from the no-
ble lord, whether that act had undergone any
alteration. It had not come within the
range of his information, that congress had
loeen assembled so as to make any legislative
alteration with respect to the act ; and he
was not aware whether the president of the
United Sta'es may have power to modify or
suspend the execution of it. In this uncer-
tainty he addressed himself to the noble lord
for such explanation as may make it. gene-
rally known if the trade could be resumed
¦with safety ; or if it was still attended with
all its recent hazard of confiscation, in order
that, if thine was no risk, the benefit of the
trade should be enjoyed universally, and if
there was risk, that no individual should
want warning to avoid it. He hoped that
the treaty recently signed, into the provi-
sions of which he did not mean to pry,'
¦would be the means of establishing lasting
concord and amity between the two nations.
Lord Howick was desirous to give all pos-
sible publicity to every thing which it was
crfftportanee to the commercial world to
make generally known. He did not know
\ j what extent the hon. gentleman's idea of
proper publicity may go ; but the house must
iware that it was impossible to give the
particular and circumstantial information
¦which the hon. gentleman desired in this
case. Ti nication male try him to
the chairman of the committee of American
merchants was a communication of tlie mere
i.k: of signing the treaty. Undoubtedly, if
;ld be ratified; as there Y«vi* e-
very reason. 1o expect it would be, the non-
tattoffaet would be repealed of course,
and all proceedings had under it would be
reversed. This was all the information he
could give. He took this opportunity of
answering a question put by a learned gen-
tleman (Mr. Percival) on a former night
which haid escaped his attention in the speech
he had then made. The learned gentleman
wished to iciow wliethe there ** s in this
treaty any reserve to his majesty of the
right to exercise a control and to enforce res-
trictions corresponding to those with the im-
position of which the enemy presumed to
menace the trade of his majesty's subjects
with neutral nations. He had now to state,
that there certain] jikwas in this treaty, a
full reservation to MQnajesty of/the right to
exercise restrictions e«PHklent to those which'
neutral nations may submit to allow the ene-
my to exercise by their means against the
commerce of his majesty's subjects.—{Hear!
hear .')
Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Sir T. Turton observing a noble
lord (Howick) in his place wished to call
his attention to a few questions upon cer-
tain points of material importance. He
was not aware of any reserve on the part of
ministers in regard to the treaty concluded
with America ; but if he understood the
noble lord's former answer to a question put
to him by a learned gentleman (Mr. Perci-
val) upon that subject, the noble lord had
seemed to say that the point in regard to
the treatment of neutrals was reserved by
government. He wished to learn, however,
whether it would be necessary to blockade
the French islands, and to intercept her
trade between these settlements and their
mother country ? This information he con-
ceived to be necessary, indeed it was render-
ed so by the motion of the learned gentle-
man, as hs firmly believed the existence of
an artful and insidious understanding on that
point between France and America. The
second question with which he had to trou-
ble the noble lord, related^o the export of
specie which had taken place some days ago ;
and he wished to learn under v. hat act or
resolution of the house, such money had
been voted ? The last question he had to ask
was whether, or not the noble lord was in
possession of any information respecting
Buenos Ayres, subsequent to that before
the public.
Lord Howick replied in answer to the
first question of the hon. baronet, that with
respect to neutrals, the treaty between
Great-Britain and America would not pre-
vent this country from distressing the com-
merce of the enemy Carried on in neutral
ships. He should however decline further
explanation upon this subject at present, as
he might be led into .1 premature discussion
of the matters «i lined in a treaty which
had not yet been ratiiied. With regard to
the blockade of the French islands, the
right of: blockade naturally ^v;w out of a
state of war, and the enforcement of block-
ade depended upon his majesty's directions,.
This was a matter of prerogative with winch
the house had no right to meddle, unless
upon veiy Btrong grounds of misconduct on
the part of ministers. With regard to the
export of specie, the fact was, that the mo-
ney so scat was the balance of the sum vot-
ed to the emperor of Russia, on the first
coalition between that monarch and Austria
against France. On the subject of Buenos
Ayres, he was not aware of any communi-
cation having reached government, which
was not already before the public.
FEDERAL fVA^ETTE.
SATURDAY, MARCH 14.
We have once more been favored with a
supply of New-York papers, and are thus
in possession of European articles which
were ill common circulation at New-York on
the ninth -instant. The eastern mail, of to-
day is yet due.
By the ship Enterprize, from London, and
ship Fame, from Liverpool, London papers
to the 22d, and Liverpool to the 24th Jan.
inclusive, have been received ; from which it
appears, that the French Grand Army is in
no enviable situation. Unable to bring their
skilful and politic enemy to a general en-
gagement, they are continually harrassod,
and not unfrequentfully beaten, in partial
skirmishes. Cat off from all prospect of
an alliance with the Turks ; distressed by a
dreadful malady ; and threatened by famine
in a strange and hostile land, awful is the
prospect, and painful the present situation
of Napoleon.
Our commercial friends will find some re-
lief in the Older of council, and in the Lon-
don comments on the provisions of our ex-
pected treaty. But what will they say,—
what will be the united opinion of all who
justly appreciate the common interests of
America and Great-Britain,—when they arc-
made sensible that the treaty recognizes no
horrid, or bloody, or exterminating principle,
which could fairly have frightened the presi-
dent into an indecorous and impolitic declar-
ation, such as we have stated, and such as
every body knows he has made ? Has the
electioneering cabal for tlie next president
commenced ? Is it intended to lessen the
supposed popularity of Munroe, that com-
merce in ruins must be heaped upon his head,
and sink him down too low-for competition ?
The captain of a Danish ship, spoke off
the Texel, from Amsterdam, states, that
news had reached that place of a partial en-
gagement near Warsaw, in which the French
suffered great loss—that a general engage-
ment was shortly expected, as the Russian
and Prussian armies had formed a junction)
and were very numerous. This news is not
so late, by a few days, as the last London
date.
Cadwallader D. Colden, Esq. has been
appointed Mayor of New-York.
Mr. Wagner, chief clerk in the depart-
ment of state, has resigned his office.
Mr. Merry, in the ship Leonidas, from
Alexandria, arrived at Liverpool on the 18th

ditto ; John Adams, (belonging to Boston)

since.

A letter from Lisbon, dated 27th Dec.
says, " General Craufurd's expedition pas-
sed Madeira on the 7th December, all well.
The object of it was not then known, but
it is probably destined against the Mauritius,
which has been a soui ce of great annoyance
to our East-India trade.
PHILADELPHIA, March 12.
Arrived, ship Fair Trader, Dennison, Port-
land, 8 days ; sch'r Nelson, Rieley, Havana,
21.
Cleared, ship Tyre, M'Aroy, London ;
brigs Aurora, Pickle, Jamaica ; Mary Tor-
ren, Mark, Madeira ; Casimia, Pitner, Sene-
gal ; schr. Herald, Mayo, Boston.
The French head quarters were still at
Warsaw, but the progress of their arms in
that direction appeared to be stayed—The
lelt wing of their army, however, rmd tak-
en Thorn, and was approaching Kouigs-
berg. The sickness, which prevailed among
their troops, is stated to be very fatal, and
the number dead of disease is carried as high
as 40,00c.
It was rumored in London, that Austria
had declared against France and that the
arch-duke Charles had left Vienna to take
the command of the army.
In whatever light the treaty lately negoci-
attd with G. Britain, may be reviewed by
our government, it is certainly considered in
England, as far as it is undertsood, to con-
cede too much to the U. States. Whether
the concessions will be increased should it
be returned, requires no divination to ascer-
