Gene 1 .! Gardaune, governor of the Pages of
li's imperial majesty, is nominated ambassador
to Persia. Lie takes wi h him SOO officers of
the ‘different armies, and 300 artillerists. The
father of his general was for a long time con
sul general of France, in Persia, where he pro
tected ail the lluropeans that came there, and
where his memory is hi hly respected.
May 23.
Authentic letters announce, that a French
-officer, dispatched lay the ambassador Sebasti
ani, and repairing to his majesty the emperor
Napoleon, communicated upon passing through
Vienna, to his excellency general Andreossi,
our ambassador at the court of Austria, the im
portant news, that the army of the Russian ge
neral Michelson, had been invested by the
Turkish army, and completely routed. Intel
ligence was received by the same channel, that
the captain Pacha, who had passed the Darda
nelles with 16 ships of the line, put to flight
the Russian squadron stationed oIV Tenedos.
These two events are neither less glorious for
the Ottoman arms, nor less important for the
f i e of the Porte, than the expulsion of the jj
English fleet from before Constantinople, and i
amply make up for the loss of Alexandria, so j
shamefully surrendered to the English general ?
Fraser. The town of Thesalon ca, did not 1 <T- jj
low the example of Alexandria ; upon the Bri- 1
tish presenting themselves before that place, jj
and summoning it to surrender, and send away j
the French consul, the Pacha answered them ]
with cannon balls, and immedia’ety took such
measures as made them judge proper to seek
their safety by flight.

The following bulletin, dated at the camp be
fore Mess, May Ist, was published here :
“I his morning at three o’clock, the troops of
Wirtemberg carried at the point of the bayo
net, the outward works of the places called
IFuck-liouse, John’s-Mill, and Firsergarden.
A’ i the Prussians found there, were either kil
led or taken prisoners ; live cannon, three of
ficers, and 100 soldie ft? fell into our hands.
H AMBURGH, May 2.
Every body here is persuaded that the dis
content of Sweden,-and the new measures she
will seemingly adopt, will derange the calcu
lations of the coalition extremely. This much
is re tain, that they have already been very fa
vorable to the enterprise of the French army
against Colberg and Dantzick.

From the National Intelligencer.
Time has added another year to the political
existence of the United Slates, and has again
b: ought us round to the anniversary of its com
memoration. With what emotions of grati
tude and joy, of indignation and resentment,
aie we called upon to hail the return of this
great day, contemplating the wide extent of
the interior, all is peace and happiness. We
behold a nation of mote than six millions of
freemen enjoying all the felicity that good go
vernment, correct habits, industry, enterprise
and intelligence can bestow. We behoid the
rare spectacle of a people and government act
ing in perfect harmony, wishing and doing well
to all vi) mkind, and alone intent on promoting
their own happiness bv hono-able means. But
if we cast our eyes on our foreign affairs, how
gloomy the contrast! We behold a nation,
whose interest, perhaps whose very ixistence
is interwoven with our prosperity, heaping up
on us the most accumulated wrongs, and cap
ping the climax by an outrage whose atrocitity
we may feel, but cannot adequately express.
Cold must that heart be, and altogether unwor
thy of the breast of an A neriean, that does not
rise i:t resentment against the indiscrilxtble
turpitude of an act that unites the ferocity of
savage with the refi led cruelty of civilized
despotism. But while we deplore tlie mad
ness that dictated this unprecedented treache
rous outrage, let us rejoice in its effects. It
has p -oduced one burst of indignation through
the vast extent of America. No voice but that
of execration is to be heard. Ordinary disaf
fection to the government is as still as death ;
an universal shout of vengeance resounds
through the land. Such is the spirit of the
people, that did the physical means exist, the
blow would instantaneously be struck that
would hurl destruction on every British armed
vessel on the ocean. The act of war on the
part of B it tin would be returned without a
moment’s hesitation. What Americans have
once done, they would do again—humble ty
rants ! Let us rejoice then that we are a uni
ted people !—Let us realise our strength, and
confide in hs exer'ion in whatever way those
who command our confidence may call it into
action. Let us stand prepared to sacrifice our
lives and out fortunes to mint.tain that, without
which both these are curses, our liberty and
honor. Let us assume the attitude of defence
and decision, and in defending o, r rights sub
mit with alacrity to every privation and hazard.
Let the whole nation, in one trnbioken column,
present themselves to the .government, ready,
as the, good of their country requii cs, to meet
our enemies in the field of open combat, to
break off all intercourse with them, to refuse
admission to their products, or. in any other
mode, that shall be deemed adviseabie, make
them sensible that their injustice shall not be
suffered to go by with impunity. Gracious
God 1 how awful the spectacle of a great na
tion composed of virtuous freemen, united on
this day, in heaping curses on the heads of
those who are by nature and reason our friends,
and who but for their crimes would still re
main such.
Read, Americans, the following noble decla
ration of your rights, and solemn memorial of
your wrongs* ! Kindle at the thought, Unit the
day may be at hand, when all the virtuous and
patriotic feelings it so successfully roused,
may be enlisted against the same power that
first excited them. Cherish these feelings,
and maintain them at the highest tone until
we shall have received redress for past injuries,
and a solemn and satisfactory assurance that
they shall not be repeated.

One Joint Carmont proposes publishing a
paper in this city, to be called “ Federal Re
publican Advocate,” that is, lit; is about to
change the name of the Patriot, to that just
mentioned : It is to appear, we are informed,
under this new title, on Monday next.
We have already said, that this John Car
montis a Scotchman, and that he is not a itti
zen of the United States—at least, we can line!
no evidence ol his imun aliztdion.
The people of this country have newspapers
enough edited by ci izenss and sorely they are
not so much at a loss for political inform;, tim.
as to stand in need of lessons on government
by an alien Scotchman.
What do you mean, Mr. Garment. by “ the
abominable doctrinesof Revolutionary France?”
Be candid will) us, and instead of telling us you
mean principles opposed to our “glorious fe
deral charter—to Social order, and to religion,”
tell us at once, that you mean, in truth, and in
fact, Republican principles, or any other prim i
ples hostile to the cabinet of St. James :—lf
you tell us this, we will believe you. and ap
plaud your sincerity, but wc will admit of an
explanation upon no Cher basis ; because we
have e’ ery motive, at tilts time, to distrust any
professions of attachment to the constitution
and laws of our country, made by British sub
jects. 41 The abominable doctrines of Revolu
tionary France ,” is the very convenient mantle
which toriesUkeCai mont, always conceal them
selves with when they wish to conceal their
real attacks on republican principles, as secu
red to us by the federal compact, and as che
rished by (nr countrymen, llovv dare such an
i.-.significant alien to charge the American peo
ple pc any part of them, with a predelictioti for
the 44 abominable doctrines of Revolutionary
France ?” i here is not the smallest purl of our
nation infected with them. Ihe American
people love their country, and prefer her mo
rality and her government to those of any other
nation. Our people have every reason to des
pise—to abhor Britain—her government, and
her crouching subjects; and British politics
h ive, consequently, no weight among them.
And tis to the doctrines of Robespiere and Ma
ra’ [Those are the doctrines this caludonian tud
probably alludes to") they never have, and never
will, get a footing in these United States. 1!
this imported editor would force us to believe,
that all this is wrong, and that there is still
great danger from revolutionary French /1 riitri
ples : We, on the other hand, say, that no
kind of foreign influence exists among ns ; and
on this point we are willing to join issue with
John Carmont, and aii the alien Scotchmen in
the land.
The people of the United States always
wished success to repubiii ui France, and now
wish success to monarchical France, because
she is waging war against an unjust and op
pressive nation ; but neither the cabinets of
the former or the Absabms of the latter, ever
stole the hearts ot our people from an undevi
ating attachment to the constitution of their
country. Never did greater unanimity pre
vail than at this time—ail party dissentient) are
hushed—and yet this man prates about the
danger of revolutionary French doctrines, ns if
nothing in the world was to be apprehended
hom the still more dr-testable government of
the KING, 11 IS MASTER.
V few words more Mr. Carmont, and we
will leave you. Where was the necessity (mi
le ts your motives are politically corrupt) to sub
stitnte 44 Federal” for 44 Patriot”! If it is your
cpi ion, that federalism is one thing, and pat
riotism unite another thing then you ate cor
rect, very correct ; but will federalists acknow
ledge. or thank you for the distinction ? We
think they will not. Look to youiself, sir. this
is not a time for men like you to be fabricating
political distinctions—Beware J
