By last Evening's Mail
WE have received the Nati.
onal Intelligencer of the lath
inst. which gives a (ketch of the
proceedings in Congress down
to the lOth—At which time the
House adjourned without com
ing to a decision on the refo'u
lions reported by the committee
on our foreign relations. We
have made luch extrads as our
time and limits will permit, of
the Important Foreign Xezos re
ceived by the late ariivals.
PosT' n, Dec. 6.
A gentleman who came to town
last evening from Salem, infoi
med us of the arrival there of the
schr. JVlohtiwk, of this |>ort, in
28 days from Liverpool, and fa
vored U* wi‘h letters and paper*
from England to the 28th of Oct,
inclusive.
London, Oct , 24. A Russian
& French messenger arrived frc».,«
France on Fridav morning, anu
returned on Sundav.
Nothing certain has yet trans
pired either with respect to (he
dispatches to or the r«rply rotuned
by aur government. have
heard that the former arc ve?y
short—that they consist of two let
ters dated from Erfurth, addres
sed by M. de Champagny, the
French minister for foreign affairs,
and M. de Roman zow, the Rus
sian minister, to his excellencv
George Canning, esq.—that the
two letters are in substance the
same, stating that his majesty the
emperor of all the Russians & hi*
majesty the emperor of the French
being equally animated with a de
sire to put an end to the calamities
of war, he (the minister fur foreign
affairs) has it in command from
hit majesty to request his excellen
cy to communicate to hi* Britan
nic majesty that desire, end if his
Britannic majesty be influenced
by a similar desire, to propose
that plenipotentiaries shall be im
mediately named, to proceed to a
place that may be fixed upon, to
open a negotiation with the pleni.
potentiaries of his Imperial majes
ty for the conclusion of a Mari
time Peace.
If we be correQ, the answer
that will be returned by his ma.
jetty’s ministers, to such a com
munication is obvious. The
epithet applied by the enemy to
the kind of peace which they
are desirous of negociating,
shews us at once that they do
not admit our interference in the
affairs of the continent. His ina
nity's ministers we should co“-
jetture would reply to M. de
Champagny, and M. de Ro
manzow, that his Britannic tna
jefiy was animated by the desire
which he had always expressed,
and which was known to all
Europe, to put an end to the
calamities of war, whenever he
could do so confidently with
the security of his dominions,
the honor of his crown, and the
good faith he owed to his allies
—that he was ready to enter
into a tpgociation in concert
with those allies, and that he
would immediately • communi
cate the overtuics that h'4d been
made to him to his majetty the
king of Sweden, to the Prince
Regent of Portugal, and to the
Central and Supreme Junta m
Spain, governing in the name
of his Catholic nrajefty, Ferdi

CRISIS IN SPAIN.
By this wc do not mean that
lhc eventful fate of that naiion
is about to be decided, but that
a fanguinarv contest has proba
bly taken place.
For some time previous to
the 27th GO. it was (uppofed
from the accounts from Spain,
that about 20000 French troops
who had taken polieflion of
Bilboa, under mar Dial Nev,
, < *
were cut oil from retreat. But
on that day lays the Courier,
intelligence arrived, winch pro
ved that this was not the case.
A vedel which left Corunna on
the 20th, announces that 30,000
belh troops had palled the Py.
renees and joined Ncy, whole
whole force now amounts to
between 70 and 80,000, con
centrated between Bilboa Vit
toria.
This reinforcement did not
appear to have altered the positi
on of the Spantlh armies, which
deferibed neatly a circle, begin
ning at Valtnaleda and ending
at Uoncevalios. The
de Portazgo was at Vaimdieda
Blake on the mountains near
Biiboa—Calldiios at Lojnono,
n /
<*nd Palafox at Roncevallos. It
is Rated that the Spaniards were
m high (pints and not diffident
of lucceis in calc ofageneial
encounter.

The Brittlh naval force in the

of an attack on the Ruliian licet

the Rulftan admiral fortified
himfelf 011 the land hie, and
obltruded the entrance of the
port, by extending its
mouth an enormous w*ia;n, and
other obitrudions, that it was
thought advtfabie ou the part
of the Britilh and Swcuilh ad
mirals, to give up the idea of an
attempt on mat iqiadoa, while
it continued tu mat poii.
Paris papers of OBohcr 2,

A very levere dorm was ex.
perienced on thecoails of Eng
