It.,i a !ie been successful, what would have been s..id of the. administration'who had conducted k peace on in so iiicit lit terms, and by that tac-ate.. crumpled the c:v: rgies of Europe, at a time when they might olhenvie have been exerted with vigour and effect. If successful, would our situation have been ameliorated? Does any bodv believe, that af ter the battle of Jena, Pounpartc would have been stopped by the term a of any treaty, re cently concluded with Great-Bikain ? 1?’ peri cnee had shewn the contrary, auc! the trans actions in which Sebastian! was engaged, af forded sufficient proof cf cases in which trea ties were violated by the French. To rdd to the atrocities of this man, he hach on his mission to Constantinople, passed through the country of the Ilospodurs, by whom he had been treat ed with hospitality and kindness: and yet his first act on his arrival at Constantinople was in direct hostility to their interests. We had a light therefore to conclude, that had the French concluded a treaty with us, they would, in the present circumstances of the continent, have ■described us in the detestable light cf having been the original instigators of the continental war, and of having deserted the powers v horn we had excited to action. The present de plorable situation cl Prussia ir.crea ing the i nmense power of France, placed the prospect of peace at a grcltcr distance. Far would he be from encouraging any sanguine expectations. What remained was in the hands of heaven. Whether the chastisement cf Europe, was to continue, or whether the instrument of vengeance was speedily to be deprived ofh.s power, he knew not; but this he knew, that Grout-Britain lrad neglected nothing which it was her fjaly to perform—nor did he see .reason for despondence or dismay, lie looked confidently through the medium of the honor, tne courage and the resources of his country, to the period when it would be practicable to re-establish that balance of power, cn which t ic tranquility and happiness of Europe so ma terially depended. There are were points which he had omitn and in his statement : the one related to the ex traordinary note of the 4th of September, as published ill the French papers, inviting lord Lauderdale to a conference with M. Talley rand -i but which disgraceful r.ctc never was delivered to lord Lauderdale ; for had it been delivered to him, it would most certainly have been his-duty not to have remained a moment longer in Paris. What could have been the motive of this publication, he was at a loss to guess. It must have o: iginated in some error, of which we were ignorant, for nothing could have been more unjust than its application to the no ble iuid. The other paint related to the sudden change which the French government had as serted had taken place i.i the tone of cur 13; i ti ,h councils, when Mr. Fox was no longer able to attend them. ‘ They s.ti.l that the m party then.prevailed. To this assertion he could give the most complete denial. Whoever knew any thing of the noble lord his coileagucrin office (lord Grenville) must be well aw are, uj those uncommon talents for business which he possessed, he enjoyed a firmness of mind which would not allow him to be dictated to by any man. For himself he had the satisfaction of , redacting, that from the commencement of the negoeiution to its conclusion, his sentiments were Unaltered. It was true, that the last fit ter written by Mr. Fox was on the 25;h of June, and that the subsequent details were carried on by others ; but he knew ids senti ments for the remainder of the period, during which he was capable of expressing those sen timents. He knew that Ire always unde; stood that the uti fnaddetis was the basis offered by the French government; and he knew the in dignation which he felt at the cavils and equi vocations on that subject. On Sunday, the Yth of September, the Sunday preceding his death, when there appeared to be a favourable turn in the negotiation, anxious as that great man was for the restoration of peace, he decla red that there were three objects, without the acquisition of which, peace ought not to be Concluded—first the maintenance of the hon or of the country—the second was the preser vation of our connection with Russia—and the third was the re-establisliment of the king of Sicily. It was on these two last points that the negotiation had been broken off: and he so lemnly declared to the house, that this rupture was in strict conformity to the sentiments unci :re commendations of that illustrious statesman, •who, in the most severe moments of his illness, stated it to be the ardent wish of his mind to ac ■comp.i >h, before his death, two great works on w'hi<:h he had set his heart—the restoration, of -peace, and the abo ition of the slave trade. Af ter a brief recapitulation of the principal topics o Ins speech, lord Hovvick concluded by mo -v;ng an ad Iress similar to that which was vo tc and in the house of lords cr. Friday last.

MEW-YORK, March 14. Ry the arrival of the schooner Perseverance, Mcsservy, (arrived at Marblehead in 33 days from Bordeaux) French papers have been re ceived to the 2 Ist of Jamiarv—from which it appears, that several engagements have taken place between the French and Russian armies, in which the French were successful. Captain Mcsservy confirms the account of a dreadful malady having appeared in the French armies, mid of its having been very destruc tive. He reports, also, that the Emperor had returned to Paris, before he sailed. FORTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Pultusk , December 30, 1606. The battle ofCzamowo that of Nassielsk,that of Kursomb, the affair of cavalry at Lepacvn, have been followed by the battles of Golvmin and Pultusk—and the entire and precipitate retreat of the Russian armies, has terminated both the year and the campaign. Battle of Pultusk —Marshal Cannes could not arrive opposite Pultusk before the morn ing of the 26th—All the corps of Bennigsen were concentrated in the night. ‘1 he Russian liixirion which had been beat at Nassiclsk, and pursued by the third division, commanded by Mxishal Davoust, entered the camp at Pultusk two hours after midnight. At ten o’clock, M rsbal Lanncs attacked, having Bucket's di visional the first line, that of Gaza in the se cond, and that cl Gudin in the third division of the urmv, commanded by General Darltanna, upon his left. Tire combat was spirited. After a few struggles, the enemy was overpowered. The 27th regiment of light infantry and the 34th covering themselves with glory. Generals \ cd.c! and Claparede were wounded. Gen. Vreiilurd, commanding the light cavalry of the army, General Bcuasart, commanding a bri gade of the division of the dragoons of Beker, col. Bnrthclciny, of the 15th regiment of dra goon's, were wounded by grape shot. Voisin, aid to Marshal Lanncs, and Gurial, aid to Gen. Suchct, both fell with glory. Marshal Lanncs was slightly touched with a ball. The fifth corps of the army have ex hibited what brave men are able to perform, and the immense superiority of the French infantry over that cf other nations. Marshal Lanncs, altho’ lie had been for ten days sick, would follow his corps. The 86th regiment sustained many charges of the enemy’s cav alry, with coolness and success. The enemy the same night sounded a retreat, and retired to Ostrodcrka. Buttle if Golymin —While the corps of Bcn niggen was at Publish, and beaten there, that of Buxhouden joined Golymin at night. The di \ is; .>n Panin of this corps, which was attacked the evening before by the duke cf Berg, and another division which luid been beaten at Na sielk. arrived Ly different routes at tiie camp cf Colv iiliU. Marshal Davoust, who pursued the enemy from Nasiclsk, came up with, charged them and dused them from a wood near the camp cf Golymin At the same time, Marshal Augereau arriv ing at Golaczima, tool; the enemy in flank. The general ol brigade Luzihe, with the 16th light infantry, carried, at the point of the baro net, a village which served as a point of sup port to the enemy. The division of Heudelait displayed and marched for it. Three hours alter noon, tne lire was the hottest. The grand duke of Berg executed with the greatest suc cess many charges, in which Kleir’s division of dragoons distinguished themselves. Not v,i'.hr.tancl;ng evening came on too soon, the combat continued till eleven at night 1 The enemy retreated in disorder, leaving .j their artillery and baggage, and many dead, j All the enemy’s columns retired to Ostro- j derka. I General Fencrol'e, commanding a brigade j of dragoons, was killed. The intrepid general i Rapp, the emperor’s aid-de-camp, was wound- j ed at the head of a division of dragoons. Col. Simile, ol the brave 24th of the line, was wounded.—Marshal Augereau had a horse kil led under him. Nevertheless, Marshal Soult, with his corps, had already arrived at .Molmi, two leagues from Mokow ; but the badness of the roads, from the rains and thaws, retarded his march and saved the Russian army, of which, without this accident, not a man would have escaped. The good fortune of the army cf Bcnigscn and tijat of Buxhouden should have terminated on the other side of the, Orcye; but all the intend ed movements were defeated by the thaws, which caused the artillery to be two days in marching three leagues. • . Altogether, the Russians have lost 80 pieces of cannon, all their waggons, more than 1200 baggage carriages ; 12,000 men killed, wound ed or made prisoners. The movements of the French and Russian coiutnns, will be an object of curiosity for military men, when they are traced upon the map. They will then see upon how slender a thread hung the capture or annihilation of this army, and all the effect of a single fault committed by the Russian ge neral. We have lost 800 men killed, and have had 2000 wounded. At length, finding himself master of the ene my’s artillery, and all their positions, having! driven them more than 40 leagues, the empe-! ror has ordered his army into winter quarters Before this expedition, the Russian officers declared, that they had 150,000 men. Now they do not pretend to reckon half that num ber.—Shall we ueiieve their report before the battle or after it i Savannah, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1307. Accounts from Surinam, dated tile 14tliof December, state, that ordinance bills had sold therein the preceding eek, at IS guilders to the pound sterling, being 50 per cent, a bovepar; and mention, that there was then such a demand for bills, that got eminent might dispose of almost any amount. It was added, that for the two preceding months, there had not been twenty barrels of flour at a time in the colony, excepting a small supply in the king’s stores, received from Barbadoes. Produce was high, and the colony healthy and quiet. From a Liverpool fiaftcr cf January 24. “ From the blood-ftaincd fielift of Europe, the din of arms, and noise of the battle, the thought cf which is enough to sicken the heart, we turn our attention, and look with pleasure across the Atlantic, to that country where peace reigns and plenty abounds ; whose go vernment seems as anxious to decrease the quantum of taxation, as those of the old world are to inereafe it. The wisdom and moderation of the American govern ment mult be acknowledge y all The readiness it has mar.ifelted to repeal tl ft which prohibited the importation of Britiih go!

That a fire. hos fiiendlhip and i a cefiation of trade between the two countries, would t be of mutual disadvantage, we admit, that our own j country would he the greatest fuflerer.

The loom and the Ihuttle are not unknown even among fonie of the Indian tribes in America. Millions of acres yet remain to be cultivated.—Cattle abounds, and fuel is plentiful. What arc the wauts of man ? Our poet fays— ” Er.ad, cl, is and f.rc .” What more ? he answers, “ Fire, clot Us and bead ” “ We are happy to find there is one country on the face of the earth that is not disposed to exhaust its trea l'ureson dangers that may he prevented by wisdom and moderation ; or, like the present emperor of France for the purpose of spreading deflation and ruin in neigh.! louring states. The cultivation of the aits of peace is the greatest glory of the Chief Magiftate of any nation. The laurels of the hero are always llained with blood, and too often Sullied by tapine and injustice. He is the greatest mir.ifter of state, who knows how to iule his own pifiion- and to teach others to govern then's • who when a form arises, is able to avert the threatened blow, and by his counfelsto command peace. The sy cophants of the French courts are lavifli in their praises of the emperor Napoleon—but, alas! what a contrail between him and the peaceful Frt iicient >f the United States -*-'The one is like *he waves of the lea, never at rest, tortured by plans of murder and of blood the constant witr.cls, and a very common cuufe, of th ruin and deftruciion cf thousands cf his fellow men the other dwelling at pence in the tr.idft of a country ma le every year happier by his prudent ad liini .ration—de vising plans for the in rovement of knowledge end the inereafe of virtue.—The name of Jefierfon will he re membered with plealu e, when the destroyers of man kind thttil be buried ir; otdivion.” Departed this life on Wednesday the 25th itift. in the 49th year of her age, Mrs. Margaret Stephens, consort of the honorable William Stephens, judge if the district court of the United States, fur the state cf Georgia.
