The ministerial par y has completely succeeded in the recent elections in England, and it was d, that as Ame rica h'd declared war, it should be? a war of extermipation, and that either tier or Grtat Britain mus; fall. A proclamation was issued by the Prince Reeni in Council, declaring -all English sailors irauois, who are found n hoird American vekcls. . We are also informed, that a procla mation had been issued declarii'g that all British subjects, naturalized in the U. Stttest toho were found in armt a gainst England, should 5: considered as traitors and safer death) "I'bW procla mation is nalio be found iryhe papers inour possession and if issued at ull, musl be in the papers of the ?2d, 23 J, or 24lh of October which are missi!g from our file. But we are inclined to believe that the report has originated in mistake fom the circumstance o the proclamation respecting the s-ibrs men tioned above. The.'Russian ficet was to be sent to Ergland for safety, and preparations were taakiog at Portsmouth for iia ar arrival. ' One c the oldest and moy. respecta ble houses in.London, in the Danish trade, ha failed. A London paper of Ocf. 23, says: " However painful it may be to contem plate the final result of the contest in Russia, We feel it incumbent on us to state the truth, and in so doing, do not hesitate to declare, for the information of such as are hot deaf to reason and common-sense, tb at we calculate upon Russia aa conquered by Napoleon." FRENCH NEWS. Hea Turk, DV 21. By the Dick, from Bordeaux we have French papers to the 4th ult. They contain the French Bulletins to No. 23, tha last of which is dated at Moscow, Octoer9. It states that the advanced goard of the Grand Army was po&ted twenty leagues from Moscow t That the Russian Army was quartered upoo Kolonga ; that skirmishes teak place daily, in which the French , were victo rious; that the Duke of Elchmgen, with his division, waa at Boghordock ; and that Murat'sldivision was at Troiua. It atso states,' that ihe able Russian Gene ral, Prince Bigratton, bad died of his ounds I and that itie inhabitants of Moscow were returning to their homes -.and that Napoleon was in good health, and dome til bt could to make them comfortable. .; ' " . On this news the Evening:' Post ob- setves, l It'Will be recollected, that I$ naparte emerea lyostow on inc o;n oi September from the ibovemehtioned Bulletin, it appeartj-thal on the 9ih of Oct. he remained inxheaarne situation, having done nothing more .towards the uonquest of Russia.

Cbeves,' from the committee of Ways Tvad Means,, to whom was refer red the bill 'from the Senate, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to remit certain lines, penalties and forfeitures, reported the same with amendments, the principal one of which is to strike out the .words "ancTthe dependencies: thereof," so as to exclude from the ope ration of the bill the cases of goods brought in' from Canada, &c. The bill was referred to a committee xf the whole. Mr. Cheves, from the committee of Ways and Means, to, whom were refer red so much of the petition' of the own. ers and agents of sundry private, armed vessels fitted out of the port of New- York, as prays a reduction of the du ties on prize goods, Sec reported that a reduction of the duties on prize goods, without embracing, at the same time, all importations made in the prosecu tion ofube ordinary connece'of the country, cannot, consistently wih sound policy and rational legislatirr!, be made, and that a general reduction would di minish a revenue, where tt does not dis tress, the consumer, and would not pro ducetany material increase of gain to ths captors. The committee therefore deern it inexpedient to grant the prayer if ihe petitioner. . , -' ' The, report was referred to acorn miitee of the whole hott&e.

The motion for amendment of the bill pending when the House last bad tne subject under consideration was Amotion was made by Mr Harper to reccnVider the motion for striking out he seventy-fours. . He made this mo. iion because he was a friend to an in "crease of the navy, and would. agree to ouua seveniy-iours, u ne couia nt oo tain other desci iplrons of vessels. The motion to reconsider the vote wes agretd to. 54 to 51. , Mr. Bacon spoke against the motion, though in favor of aa increase of the navy, he was opposed to seventy-fours. Mr. Basset spoke in reply, at consi derable length. "x . Mr. Ghohon spoke generally in fa- vor oi an increase oi tqe navy, ana to favor of the bill from the Senate. . M Stow followed in support of seventy-fours Mr. Troup also spoke in favor of se- venty.four gun ships, which he warm- 'y advocated, as well as a general in crease of the navy. Mr. H. Clay explained the reasons why, though decidedly in favor of an incieaae of tfieriavy, he waa opposed to seventy-tour gun ships. Mr. Widgery again apake on the ame side t.l the question. ; ,;":' -Mr. Calhounapoke at some length in favor of an increase of the navy on , ge neral principles, and of even a larger force than was proposed to be added by ihe bill. , Mr. Roberta ipofte in favor of the postponement 6f this subject, with a view. to obtaining further information on ihe supposed probable cost of the pro posed increase, kc ,r Mr. Pleasants apokeTidccidedly in fa vor of an increase of the navy, and of the force now proposed p be erased from tbe bill.

This, he:. said,, would remove a great objection ia bis mind to the bill, arising from the doubr; whether suitable mat riaia were on hand forthwith to build these vessels. ; .
