noving, their obnoxious decrees.
The editors of the NewYoik Gazette hav
ng received London papers, to the 2 5th of
jeptember, they are enabled to furnish their
leaders with news from that quarter, eight
lays later than heretofore received. It -will
w seen, that the news of Bonaparte having
Jeclared war against the United States, as
stated bv captain Qdiorne, was actually pun
ished in London on the 18h of Sept. but
hough it excited much sensation, was not
heved.
It .is stated in. London papers, that Bona-
rte had left Paris, and gone to Strasburgh )
vhich lead theim to believe he n?ant to at-
ack Austria. Pluvious to h"i3 leaving Taris,
Jie Senatus Consuftum had agreed to the re--
'quisition of 80,000 men, which- were 'to be
raised out of the conscription' of V810 to go
against Spain to the frontiers of which coun
try large bodies of rrench troops vvere
marching - .
They also state, that Sir J. Saumarez and
Sir 8. Hood's squadvon had formd a junction
in the Baltic, landed detachments of Royal
Marines at Baltic Port, at its entrance, where,
thd Russians had taken pest and erected hea-
tv batteries-; -'tbafliifter Teverectiohhe-
English sueceeded in dislodging them," a parf
of the Russians surrendered, and the others

escaped in boats to their ships.

Mr. Atwater, the gentleman who -brought
tthb last dispatches Jby the Jlope frorA Ameri
ca, set off ort his return to his native country
on Friday riefet. This gentleman is not uu
iJerstocsd to take "out any"' intelligence from
our government that is at all calculated to al
lay the spirit of irritation, prevailing in Arae
ticaf oy to facilitate the cohiplete- reconciliati
on' of the two governmen ts. In: fact, serious
apprehensions re eotertaired, and by persons,
too, not like-lyto He uninformed, that there is
bo probability of an amicable rteterminatroh
to the discussions which have so long goae
jh between the. two governments. It is said,
that our government decidedly refuses to re-
J stind the orders1 in council, or make any mo-;
di&cation in them favourable to America," apd
the Ainferican govetnment therefot' express
" rlieir resolution, r speaking more correctly in
the language of the American constitution,

moved, or even relaxed, until the orders in

LONDON, Septr I J. '
A report, which, tor a time, created a con
siderable sensation, was current hi the city on"
Saturday. It was said, that France had de
clared war- against lb United States of -America.

Yesterday we received, by mails, from
Corunna and dijony Spanish papers to the
.1 6th inst. They were brought from the for
mer port by the SnapperScKooher, and frorn
the fatter by the Peruvian sloop, both of which
vessels hate arrived at Plymouth, From
these jouvnalsVe have selected some very in
teresting article3.and their contents prepare
us for intelligence of aha greatest importance
by the nejit arrivals, from Spain.
Various' accxiuhts lead-lo shew that a. great
battle was about to take place on the Ebro,
where the French have concentrated the
whole of tlie force in Spain, and which, in
the betrinnine of the present m'onthy was sup
posed to amount to only 40,000 men. The
three great armi es of the Patriots were then
endeavouring to form a junction, for the pur
pose of attacking the enemy. Palafqx ,was
advancing with 25,000 men from Saragossu ;
the Marquis de Castelar withv25,000. from
MaJrid ; and Gen. Blake, with 35,'.f)0, from
Leon. The latter commander is said' to be
within a day's march of the French, but we
hope that nothing will be attempted until the
three armies can, by their union, co-oper.e'
in one regular plan of attack. We are a
fraid that the force detached from ' Portugal,
under the command of Sir ArthiTr tfdlesley,
which, we understand, consists of 18,000 njienv
will not arrive at Bugos, befme the expected
battle, on the result of which so much de:
pends, shall have been foiigb.t.
It seems, that the original intentions of the
French were, to have pushed on to Arraon,
and have made another attempt to get po Ses
sion of Saragossa, but on their march tcr' Tu
dela, they received intelligence which indu
ced ihem to measure back their steps.
Joseph Bonaparte is still in Spain. A let
ter from Madrid, datld .the Tth, states that
he was then at Logr'bpo, on the borders' of
Old Castile, near Navarre, where the French
head-qarters were established. 6'ome private
account statehaUheireachjKad
had been advanced to Burgos, but there is
nothing in rheLpapers that can induce us to
credit this statement. On the contrary, Gen;
Blake, is supposed to have occupied Burgos,
as the last accounts from his army left him
at Reynola. The head quarters t of General
Cdesta were at Alva del Formes j"f ,
The Russsian Ambassador has left Madrid
for Lisbon, it is supposed for thcurpose of
commanicating with Admiral Siuiavin. ,
By a vessel arrived at Cathagena from
.Palermo, which she left on the li th .ult. we
learn, that troops, arms'and ammunition Were
then embarking for the Neapoli on territo
ries whec, the people "upon hearing of the
events in S'pain, had risen against the French.
We are sorry to learn from Gijon the-death
of the lion. capt. Herbert and Mr. Crctd, who
wetc drowned in consequence. of lh boat up
selling, which was conveying them from; the
Swidlow sloop tothe shore. -An

from Abo. to the distance of between 30 St 40
miles. 'on the road to St. Petersburgh- The
Swedes had on some points marched upwards

the 12th inst. They continue to speak of
the universal movements of the French ar
mies all over the ; contiriet, ,and private advi
ces of a still later date state that Bonaparte
left Paris about the middle of last week for
Strasburgh. If Strasburgh be really his des
tination, the object of his journey can no lon
ger be doubtful, and our conjecture becomes
realized, of his intention to direct his princi
pal force not against Spain, but against Aus
tria. Every circumstance indeed tends 'to
shew the determination of Bonaparte to ap
peal to the sword and his fortune to decide
his differences with the emperor of Austria.

uohs 'which"' has occurred in the metropolis
for several.-years.'. Abotit 4 o'clofck' yesterday

a State election. Since then they have unit- -x
td themselves to the French cause, let them ,
rise and sink together, and. T have no doubt
such will be percisely the fact. The demo-'
cratic party in this country will never faH,
till Bonaparte falls' on the other side of the
Atlantick v;hen be falls, they foil with him.
We are not now prepared to takC'that par
ticular view "of Spanish affairs and of the
criminal conduct of 4h'e . administration in alt'
that relates to them, which we sall shortly
do; but we are necessatily led Into some few ;
observations by the papers and documents
published this evening.
J0&r readers are invited to ptirsue the Man
ififto of the Supreme Junta of Murcia And
let th administration partisans, who have so
violently eondtmned-Great Britain for seizing
the Danish navy to prevent its Calling into the
hands 6f the French, read U: (a step, by
the way, expressly advised and adproved hi
by the idol f our democratick jprinls Mr:
Fox.) This' act has been, represented a an
act of perfiy towards ifriend, and the French
paper at Philadelphia, conducted by Madison's
colonel, has been -evef since clamouring to
the people, thit t.be British meant "to also
Copenhagen us. W hen Bonaparte seized upi
on Portugal, and wrested a , kingdom ficm
his friend, it was rothihg ; when, by th6
most mean and treacherous artifices, he con
trived to get Ferdinand into-lns clutches, arij
then by force compelled hin to abdicate his
crown, it v. aa nothing ; it is all' as it should
be, and the ministerial prints at Washington
tell -the public, tha.t.the abdication is right,
and ought to be enforced, and that if the 'Span J
ish people do not peeceably acctde.to this
transfer of themselves like cattle, to thf hands 1
of a foreign master, they richly merit subjii-,j
gation and death. In the able- Manifesto of ' ;
