' wil find-that from the 19th to the S2nd of May,there tad been continued vbatiles between the French arid allied armits. In these affairs the French rk nodded ee 2,000 to have been killed or wound rd ; their loss may therefore be pretty safely "set down at double that number, Or say 25,000 men We imagine the allies most have lost, nearly as many ; although, even from the French accounts we think the best fighting has been on the side o.! the Russians and PrustansVVe havei however no manner of doubt that Bonaparte has been ex ceedingly superior to his enemies in the skilful nessof his manouvres. He has been enabled to lew more successes would have again placed him tion to relieve Dantiic, cover Denmark, nd separate Prussia from jhe combined armies. The fate of that country would lave followed in short period. - The armistice, which, it will be perceived , has been entered into, will allow the armies forty-eight days to breathe. Within that time, as some sanguincly hope, a general con gress may convene for the purpose -"of-bringing about.", peace.- we should nave some conn dence in a result of that kind, did we not know the terms jpn which France and her sattelites purpose to treat. These are the old principles pf the treatyvot Utrecht ; or in a word, Jhat free ships shall make free goods. Now could Russia, Prussia and Sweden,-be induced to accept treaty with such provisions, they Would certainly not have made peace ; they would merely have changed their enemy, France for England." Not a doubt can be entertained, if they Could secure rood terms for themselves, but that such would Abandon the other or both abandon England. 13 ut their cause has become a common one ; one of mutual interest and of common feeling: It is a common cause of national independence and of national prosperity; assailed by fiance and un dermined by the continental system They have at length found out, that they were foolishly lend ing their own arm to exhaust their own means That France "could TbhIjr"Tootupheir7trad7 throueh their own agency ; and that it was belter to perish, contending at least against her usur nations, than be made the ame instruments of iktii- own destruction. It is probable that they will persevere, untirthev are completely success Jul; and we trust they will not permit themselves to be wheedled into the measures, of the wily Bonaparte. The French army has suffered most severely in the loss of officers, iiessieres, Lmroc, Bruy ere, Sec. were among their very best commanders. St. Cyr and several others have been disgraced. We have always lamented to see the Emperor Alexander at the head of his army. Neither he nor the king of Prussia, can be of any possible assistance to tneir unerais. w ny men nave Wynot the good sense to keep away from the Iseat of war ! They can only cmbarass their com- anders ; who feci neither the same confidence or the same enthusiasm when they are present.

Inquiring what further pro vision is deemed necessary 'to be made during the present session of Congress, for meeting the pub lic engagements and defraying the public expen ditores.-' V" In the report made from this Department to congress, on the 2d of June last, the means al ready provided forth? service of this year was stated to b sufficient exclusive of any additional expenditures which might be found necessiry on account of the war and navy, departments. New and additional expenditures are contemplated in those departments amounting to near a million of dollars, and calls of mituiain various parts of the United States, which have already taken place, which will probably be repeated before the close of the present yeartmay require a million of dol lars more. An additional sum of about two mil lions mayHtherefore be considered - as necessary to secure the public service during the remainder of the year, from delay and embarrassment. As the loan for the serviceuof the year18U, cannot with convenience be made sufficiently ear y in that year to meet the demands which must be sustained by the treasury at its commencement, it is proposed that in addition to the sum of two million above menti6nd for the present year a oan should now be authorised sufficient, with the sums receivable from the revenue, to defray the expenditures ot the three first months of the year 1814. The demands upon the Treasury for those three months are estimated isibllows, viz. or civil, diplomatic and miscel laneous expenses. g 400,00(5 Pnr niihhV Aeht. r.Tiii!v. nf ' Treasury notes and interest thereon, falling due in the months of January and Febru J ary 1814, which will be provid ; THE: BRITISH SOUADROJiTf :i Whlch "was Ifttci tnhe:Potbmacj - fiasi it ii believed; , gone up the bay , towards Baltimore. nthe 30th July five or six ships ottnc une were NEW LOAN, An act has" beerrpas present session of Congress, authoring an additional loan of seveh seven millions and ;a half.

In the course of the discussion yesterday, on the additional appropriation bill, some desultory re marks were made on the expediency of the Mis sion toJKussia, not however, in any regular man ner, or with any apparant design to bring the po licy of that measure now before the House. Mr. Grundy, in th: course of a few remarks he made, tool; occasion to aJvert to a statement he had made a few das ago (in secret sitting, we believe,) which had then been questioned.Tind which he The amount receivable from the custom house duties, . during that period, may be estimated at, From sales of public lands, and from the internal duties whch will go into operation on the Istof January, 1814. The balance which wjll remain in the treasury on the 31st of December next, is estimated to amount to about 2,000,030 of dollars. As this amount is somewhat larger thafcmay be be necess iry to be permanent ty retained in the Treasury there may be applied from it towards the demands during the first quarter of the year 1814, the sum of, , now had it in his power to confirm from authori ty derived from the highest "source. The fact 6,000,000 , in question was, the period of the first communi cation of the intended Mediation of Russia, to this i government.
