House of Commons, ]u!y 27. Mr.
Whitebread wiflied to ask the right
honorable the Chancellor of the ex

lancholy account this day received in
town, refpe&ing the capture of the A
mcrican frigate Chesapeake, which
excited fueh genera! and regretful
sensations in the metropolis—Wheth
er any accounts had been received by
his imjefty’s government relating to
that tranfa&ion ? Whether it was
with the privity or authority of our
government at home, and it it was in
tended to lay before the house arty
communication upon that fubjycf ?
The chancellor of the exchequer
answered, “ With respect to the quel
(ion relative to what he too confide red
a melancholy event, the captttie’of the
American frigate Chefapea'ke, by a
British cruizer, he could only fay as
one of his majesty’s ininsfters, that he
was not informed of any of the parti
culars of that trar:faction, father than
by common rumour. His majcftyV
government, however, would leave no
means unexertqd to learn the particulars!
and the evqnt, and to whom thecircum

they hesitate to make any atonement
and reparation in their power mat 0.1
a fair enquiry (houl i appear to .be

The intelligence received this v/eci

a great degree of agirai ion in all parts ;i

accidetn could be more perverse
ill timed. At all events it rmv tsm.
jto bring to a speedy decision tltc cx
[ifttng dilpute on which t!:c two ra
j dons are now at issue. The “righto!
search” is f ipoofed to be the great
Humbling block which caused tiu* r< •
je6lion of the treaty by Mr. Jeffetfon,
and it is a point on which the two na
tions are (uppofed to be equally per
tinacious.
Some hopes are now entertained
that this affair will not inevitably lead
to hostility. If captain Humphreys
proceeded on the positive mltrurtions
of our government, xjc (hould despair
ol feeing the dispute amicably accom
modated; hut it is clear lrotn the ex
prefiions of Mr, Perceval in the houle

“ The emperors cl Prance arid Russia, af
ter twenty days residence at fiisit, -where the
imperial palaces were in tire same street, and
at no great distance, took leave oi each other
v.ith the greatest confiaiity, at three o’clock in
the afternoon cf the 9th. The Journal which
contains an account ol what passed between
riieiu, wiiibe very interesting to both nations.
“ At half past four, the emperor Napoleon
laving received a \isit from the king cl Rais
ka, who came to take his leave, set out for Ko
nigsbeig, where he arrives at ten at night.
The king of Prussia went to Ncmel.
‘‘ Yesterday the emperor Napoleon inspec
ted the port of.Konigsberg,- in a boat manned
by the imperial guard. To-day his majesty
will review marshal Soult’s corps, and at two
o’clock to ■morrow, he will set out for Dresden.
“ The number of Russians killed in the bat
tle of-Fiiedland amounts to 17,500, the prison
ers to 40,000 ; 13 000 of whom have already
passed through Konigsberg ; 7000 remain
sick in the hospitals, and the vest have been
conducted to Thorn and Warsaw. -Orders
have been issued to send them home to Russia,
without delay ; 7000 live already returned
again to Komgsti rg. Those in France are to
be formed into provisional regiments. The
emperor has oi deicd them to bs elemhed and
armed.
“ i’he ratifications of the treaty cf peace
between France and Russia, were exchanged
at Tilsit, on the 9th. The ratification of the
| treaty of peace between France anti Prussia,
| will be exchanged here this day,
“ The plenipotentiaries charged with these
negociations were, on the pari ol France, the
prince of Benevento ; princes Kurakin and La
banoff, on the part of Russia ; on the part cf
Prussia, field marshal count Ralkicuth and the
count de tioltz.
After such events as these, one cannot but
smile when the great English expedition ia
mentioned, and at the new frenzy which ani
mates the king of Sweden. Besides, v,e may
remark that the army of observation, between
the Elbe and the Oder, is 70,000 strong, exciu
, sive cf the grand army, without including the
! Spanish divisions, which arc new upon the
Oder also. It was, therefore, necessary for
I England to have brought her whole force to
, gether, her soldiers, her volunteers, fencihles,
. kc in order to have made a diversion of any
interest. But when wo take into our account
; that England, under the present circumstances,
has sent 6000 men to Egypt only to be s'.augh
! tered by the Arabians, and 7000 men to tho
■ Spanish West-Indies, we can only feel senti
ments of pity for the extravagant avarice with
which that cabinet is tormented.
“ The peace of Tilsit puts an end to the ope
rations of the army : notwithstanding this, all
the Frussian coasts and ports will be shut a
l gainst the English ; and it is probable that the
continental blockade will net prove a mere
sound.
“ The Porte is included in the treaty. The
revolution which lately occurred at Ccnstzmi
; nopie, was an anti-ch;istian revolution, which
h. s nothing in common with the policy of Eu
rope.
“ The adjutant-commandant GnillemSr.ot, is
gone to Bessarabia, wheie he will cor.muni
i cate to the grand Vizier the intelligence of the
peace, and the liberty given to the Porte to
take part in it, as well as of the conditions cf
the treaty, in which the Pcrtc is interested.”

The treaty with Russia is not yet known. It
is reported here, on the authority of the Russian
; officer who came as- courier to the duke of

j a kind of panic upon seeing the French on his
j frontiers, and toki Bcnningsen and prince Ba
| grathton to make peace on any terms. He was
j even afraid, he said, that Napoleon would make
|no peace. The latter, whose array had suffer
led dreadfully, arid wa£fcy. tjb means rn fjy

The Tonninge-o mail due on Weclnesd ty ar
rived last night, and has brought thr treaty of
peace concluded between Franco and Prussn.
By this treaty the latter loses ne.iny one hali'vt
her tellitory, and the troops of the former are
to be allowed free passage through her tcrritc
ses to Warsaw. In fact, Prussia is no longer,
an independent state. The treaty with Rus-u
has not ye. made its appearance.
French and Dutch papers, the former to the
22d, the latter to the 27ih, have also arrived.
They confirm the report for some time current
cn the continent, respecting the exaltation c:
prince Jerome to the regal dignity. He is tv
be king of Westphalia, and in that character
has been presented by the emperor Alexa \kt
v.idr the insignia of the order of St Andrew.
No passports are to be granted from the chen
office for eight days to come.
The ieticrs received yesterday by the St. Fc
tersburgh roaii contain orders for goods to a
much greater amount than usual. We should
, be most happy to construe this into an enlarge
| mentor our trade, and an extension of car
i commerce; but, Unfortunately, the oblitjue
hints contained in those letters which we huts
• seen canuct be misinterpreted. The enlarged
; orders spring only from the epprehensicn of a

A Go'tenbpurgh mail auived this morning.
The inteliigetice it brings is giver, in a precis

of hostilities between Fi ance and Sweden, be:
do r.ot come down later than the accounts by
the last Denmark mail.
We have also received French and Dutch
papers, the former to the 22th, the latter to the
23 th ult. It appears from the fifth bulk tin,
that the Porte is included ia the treaty of pt .ce
between France and Russia. In other v/i.rdi,
these powers have taken upon themselves, to
decide tho fate of that empire. The v. hoR cf
the plan may not be immediately develop? ,
but UlO principle is laid down, *.:.d we ehr.il
perceive it gradually acted upon. France ad
Russia may content themselves at present v,it!t
trifling annexations, am. the grand sigaicr may
be allowed to reside at the Seraglio a fer
months longer, but the subversion ol the Turk
ish power in Europe is inevitable. The prin
cipal point of difficulty in the new arrange
ments will relate to the occupation of Constan
tinople—or,in other words, who shall comjßOfld
the Dardanelles.
If we may credit some accounts from the
