DL'HING the wars which, for some time, have unhappily prevailed a rnonJth., powers of uropefhe U. S atesjof Amer ca, firm in their principles of peace, have endeavour ed by justice, by a regular discharge of all their national and social duties, and by every fnendly office their si tuation has admitted, to maintain with all the belligerents, the accu tomcd relations of friendship, hospi tality, and commercial intercourse. Taking no part in the questions which animate these powers againsr each other, nor permitting them selves to entertain a wish but for the restoration of general peace, tliery have observed with good taith ihe neutrality they assumed, and they believe that no instance of a depar ture from its duties can be justly im puted to them by any nation. A free use of their harbors and waters, the means of refitting and of refresh ment, of succour to their sick and suffering, have, at all times, and on equal principles, been extended to all, and this oo amidst a constant recurrence of acts of insubordination to the laws, of violence to the pei sonl, and of tresspasses on the pro pel ty of our citizens, committed by bracers ot one ot Uie belligerent par lejs' received amotilus.'

Coiled States trusting to a state of peace, 8c leaving her harbour on a distant sen$ vice, has been surprised and attacked by a British vessel of superior force, one of a squadron then lying in our waters and covering the transaction and has been disabled from service with the less of a number of men killed and wounded.
