Portsmouth, TUESDAY, August 19, 1806.

FROM ENGLAND.

The latest European intelligence is received by the Packet, from Liverpool, bringing papers of that city to the 2d, and London dates to the 1st July. Rumors of peace were currently circulating in England at the above dates, but nothing sufficiently definite had transpired to afford rational grounds to believe that such an event would speedily take place. Public curiosity has been highly excited in an affair of delicacy or rather indelicacy, in which the Princess of Wales is supposed to be one of the concern; the English prints are so extremely cautious in treating of this Royal faux pas, that it is impossible to solve the incident from its mysterious envelopement. The usual cant of great professional friendship towards America, and a wish for cordial and reciprocal advantages in the connection, is still held forth by the London editors; while whatever appears in the American prints on the subject of their nation, is sought after with great avidity by the English politician. It appears that the influence of Bonaparte in Holland has accomplished all that the most ambitious adventurer could desire; and that Louis Napoleon, with a gorgeous train of pageants, priests and sycophants, has been received with enthusiasm into their country. Whatever may ultimately be the consequence of this important change in the government of Holland, we think the patriot and philanthropist may at least find consolation in the reflection--that the influence of the government of St. James is now completely eradicated from that country. Perhaps no greater curse can befall any people than to be under the influence of British interest; to be in league with England is a certain precursor of misery, and desolation--it is this influence which has checked the progress of general improvement, and promoted unnatural and civil wars which has drenched three quarters of the world in blood. It is very generally conceded that the situation of the French people under Bonaparte is greatly ameliorated, contrasted with their government under Louis XVI. and have we not a rational hope that the same liberal system will be adopted towards those states and potentates which may be consolidated under the powerful and victorious arm of Bonaparte?

According to the last accounts from England, not the least evidence appears that the measures of our Government have had a tendency to retard the purposes of negociation and adjustment. The American nation stands as high as it ever did since it declared its independence.
