There are many, however, in qitence of the new modelled orders in council of the 26 th of April laji, who have already for the purpofes of oppo fit ion, denounced our adminifi ration for having placed too much faith and confidence in the overtures cf the Bri tijh mriifier, and for having ijfued bis proclamation too precipitately in confequence of it. It may beneujfary to obferve that our adminifiration can fiand in no need of jufiificatiou on this account, nor are thefe obfervations in tended as fuch. But if interefi is at all regarded by Great Britain in her intrigues and ncgociations with foreign nations, fhe could not have forgotten it U her friendly propefitions to cur go vernment. ‘ lke ofienfible caufe mufl hi the advantages arifing from cur commerce —but their is another caufe cf infinitely more intrinjic value, the monopoly of the wealth of Spanifb A inerica, and the tranquil continuation cf its enjoyment. And it may be laid do wn as an axiom in the politics of ihe day that, fo long as the mines of Mexico exiff under the influence and control of England, Jo long may our Executive place the fullefl confidence in the friendship of the Britifh govern ment, There is no doubt but that fo foots as the orders in councilfhall have been t ej.chided, fimilar propefitions will be wade to cur government on the part cf France, ‘the imtnsnje interefi a rifhtg f rom the Spans fh colonies in A merica is too great to efcape ths parti cular attention and Jclicitu.de of the two great belligerant powers of Ra nts.

Yefterday the fhip Virginia, cap tain Crocketr, arrived here in bal lad, from Amfterdam. It will be feen by our tranflations from an Amfterdam paper of the ift of Mav, that there has been a fevere battle between the Archduke Charles and the French Emperor. The various accounts of this battle difagree in particulars. One ac count ftates, that Bonaparte took 300C0 prifoners, 20 generals, &c —another that he took 20000 prif oneis; But the mod improbable ldory is, (and to us they all carry improbability „ with, them) that which we have from Captain Crockett, who, no doubt has heard fuch a report on the eve of his fail ing. It was, that, on the fird day cf the battle, Bonaparte pretended to be defeated, and retreated merely to gain a more advantageous petition —having obtained this petition he turned upon the Archduke Charles and after a bloody battle, literally took and deftroyed the whole of the Andrian aimy—6o,ooo prifoners, twenty-fix generals, all their cannon, colors, ammunition, &c. fell into his hands. The number of Auf trians left dead on the field, was not exactly known 3 tne lofs of the French as ufual, was verv trifling.— It was however, con felled by the French thcmfelves, that this victory had not decided the fate of Audria. The Arch-duke John was at the head of 80.000 troops, advancing to co-operate with his brother Charles, The Emperor ox Audria, it was reported, had returned to Vienna, from the army. The difpatch fhip Mentor, cap tain Ward, had been in France 3 cr 4 weeks, and it was dated in a let ter from France, received at Am fterbam, that Mr. Armftrong, cur minitier at Paris, was to return to America in the Mentor. No further relaxation had taken place in the French decrees. The flip Virginia brings out difpatches for government, fuppoled to be in reply to thole which went out in the Mentor, to Mr. Arintirog at Pa ns. A letter from Amtierdam of the 29th of April, to a refpectable houle in this city, fays— l( I have juft time to inform you, that c fticial accounts are juft receiv ed of the defeat of the Auftrians on the Danube—2s,ooo killed, 10,000 prifoners, and 100 pieces of cannon taken by the French/* The Prefident’s proclamation, announcing the rtftoration ofinter ccurfc between this country and Great Britain was received atFayal previous to the failing of the Eagle. It was received moft welcomely. Ludewegfburg, April 23. His rnajefty received yefterday by a Courier from the army, the confirmation of the victory obtain ed on the 20th inft. P. S. This moment we have re ceived the following intelligence : Official Bulletin. The Auftrian army, by the fire cf Heaven, ftruck for its un grateful and taichiefs guilt—all their cordons are deftroyed—more than twenty generals are either killed or wounded —one Archduke is killed end two wounded. We have more than 30,000 prifoners -, we have ta ken many ftandards, cannon, am munition ar.d provifions. We aie of opinion that the lot of war is de cided, c* it was st Jena.
