From the Boston Daily Advertiser of March 25.

Yesterday London dates to the 31st of January were received via Bermuda, at the Exchange Coffee House. We have been favored with the perusal of the papers, from which we have made copious extracts.

BERMUDA, March 12

Sunday arrived H M ship Asia, 74, vice Adm. Sir Alex Cochrane K. B. Hon. Capt. Paget, and Superb 74, Capt. Wainwright, from England, Majestic 74, Capt. Hayes, and Sophia, Capt. Lockyer, from a cruise.

It is reported (but upon what authority we are not able to say) that our government has signified its determination to listen to no further terms of accommodation whatever with America, but is bent upon prosecuting the war with the most rigid severity.

The Majestic has brought in the fine new French frigate Terpsichore, 44 guns and 300 men, captured the 2d February off the Western Islands, after a slight resistance, having two men killed and two wounded, sails and rigging much shattered.

Mr. Topliff has conversed with a gentleman from Bermuda, who favoured him with the papers. He informed him, that four ships of the line, three frigates and two sloops of war, were at Bermuda 13th inst. that 500 Americans were there in a distressed situation, and it was expected they would be sent to England. It was stated in Bermuda that Admiral Cockburn had asserted that in the ensuing summer the Yankees would be made to feel what it was to be at war with England Some ports in the United States were to be bombarded in the Spring.

It was said that from 10 to 14 sail of the line were coming out to join Admiral Cochrane. The San Domingo was expected about the 20th inst. at Bermuda, when Admiral Warren would return in her to England— Admiral Cochrane would then take the command of the Bermuda and Halifax stations.
