For some days past, our funds have taken a 1 rise ; this is attributed to the news which is in circulation, of negociaiions being opened be tween the belligerent powers ; not that it is thought ih it these ncgocia'.i ns will lead to a peace beleic the opening of the campaign, but They will prep a: c die wav for an accommoda tion, of wltich a single buttle may fix. the last i* <J 1 1 vii'.lol 1 P \MIS, May 17. 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. BREST A rT , May 2. 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. May 5. It is believed that the court of Denmark will act as mediator between the French and .Swe dish governments; both whereof seem to be I gradually approaching lowaidsa better under standing. 1 ' 1 ”- “ —— -i-rai 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. * Declaration of Independence.

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 “ Timoleon” is again necessarily laid over— the subject of his communication is 1 ot such an one as to require its immediate publication, and we must confess, tin t we think the style and language by no means sublime.
