Bitter is just one ale out of many. English ales tend to be called "bitters". But other places make ales too - like an American Pale Ale, or an Irish Red.
More specifically, a "bitter" a variety of English pale ale. As mentioned above, it's generally less bitter than a standard Enlglish pale ale.
An "ale" is just a type of beer; all beers are either ales or lagers, depending upon the type of yeast used.
