Americari affairs, like all others of tar rash and feeble Government, as at present conducted, afford us no very flattering or well-founded expectations.- , - We • have no doubt, but in this attempt upon that remote quarter of the world, we shall, in the long run, be disappointed. The greatest satisfaction we can draw from the present position of the war, is the probability of its termination At no great distance of time. The intelligence from the Urilted States, as given- in 'this der* Sityrzystaw, tends •to 'mummer; , that hope; and if the hems Reava were but . 1 half as well convinced as we are ourselves, of the impolicy of this war, and of the probable, nay, almost' certain benefits we should, as well as the Americans, derive from speedily end. Lug it, he would immediately call into his Councils such men as would pot meet with a tenth part of the diffiulty the present would, in arranging the turns of pacification. From ais pleasing, though perhaps illusory idea, the mind of the Reader who peruses the article from the American Paper, speak ing of the going out of the two United States fri gates, under Commodore RODGERS, to engage the two British ships of the same class, must be agonised, from the consequence which may be presumed to -follow so determined, so deadly a purpose, or chal lenge. One very alarming feature, in the counte nance of American hostility, is the pains that are taken by the enemy to obtain compleat posasession of the lakes; with the view of supplying themselves with every thing they may want for carrying on the Canadian war, and rendering our own supplies the more hazardous and expensive. They are, it seems, sending great numbers of chosen sailors from the crews of their late merchantmen, now out of employ, to man their numerous flotilla on the lakes. Our next ad vices from the seat of war may inform us of what Sir J. YEO has been able to do in frustration of this de sign. The Canadians (originally French) have not manifested that zeal in the hitherto contest which was expected from them. LONDON: MOND tY, Just 23, 1813. The dispatches of General Sresemee, in Saturday's Gazelle, give the first official inforniation of the Armistice agreed on Between the Allies:and the French. They explain also what was meant in the —..... last French account of certain corps of partizans I 1 By the proceedings at the East India House, op Dot conforming to the Armistice. It seems that Saturday last, it will be seen that Mr. RANDLZ Generals BuLow and BOISTCII, had considerably JACKSON designates the present Bill before Pattie harassed a corps of the French army in the rear, meat, as not only humiliating but degrading.

It is, however, too late to mend the breach which they might altogether have avoided.

Yesterday the Loan CUANCELLOR had au audience has given to those men, have filled their minds with regret and consternation : indeed we have no ! difficulty in declaring what a little time cannot fail but show, viz, that these rulers of our once happy and flourishing country are nearly at the end of. their diplomatic tether. We scarcely think it possible that they will be able to move the wheels of government through even the approaching recess of I'arliament. l It k w :th . some dissatisfaction that we are con strained tonotice a report, without being able to discover whence it arose. It relates, however, to sot Important a subject, that we have been desirous, without success, to find whether it either originated with any part of the Government, or is counte nanced by any of its Members. The circumstance has so much of colour or probability attached to it, that we cannot pass it over. It was rumoured on Saturday evening and yesterday, that a- diplomatic Messenger was hourly to be expected in this country from France, and Modal% was mentioned as the place whence he would embark. The rumour west of the PRINCE REGENT. The Duke of Sussex, we ire happy to say, is so much recovered from his late attack, as to be able to go out in his carriage. Besides the grand Ballet Carlton House, on Wed nesday next, there is to be a Ddeane there on Fri day.

Young Ladies will be presented on this oc casion to the QuEtx—and thus the form of presen tation will take place, without holding a Court at St. James's", where it is possible that other Ladies might exercise their right of attending. A Heligoland Mail arrived on Saturday. The only article of intelligence it brings from Hamburgh, is a notification from the French Authorities there, dated the 15th, that the post was now open to France and her dependencies. General Hoes, who landed at Yarmouth, op Fri day, from Wismar, immediately on reaching town, waited upon Lord CASTLEREAGH, with whom he had a long conference. The late abortive attempts to conciliate Denmark, are understood to have occa sioned the General's unexpected return.

To what cause is this new and sane guinary species of depravity to be imputed ? is a question well deserving the attention of the people of this country, as well as of its Government and Legislature. Is all this the effect of accident, over which we have no controul, and to which no remedy can be applied ? or, is it to be imputed to the nation having been so long familiarize d to scenes of. blood ? Has a twenty years war, a• d the frequent incentives held out in the public papers to assassinate an enemy, had no influence in operate kilt this change on the t hardcter of our countrymen. And is it. to be wondered ate if the present genera. tion, which has scarcely . knownn-a period of Peace, and Which has been taught to rejoice in the slaughter of thousands and lens of thousands of their fellow creatures, should have become savage and bloody minded ? • It is said.that Cornwell, charged with the murder of Mrs. Stephens, has recently shewn signs of con: trition.

Mr. GRANT was against the motion : the conduct of the Court of Directors hitherto, ought to have pro veted them from a requisition neither very pleasant, nor r espectful. He had no personal view to answer in this opposition, as he was well known not to be in the habit of declining to deliver his opinions. He should certainly enter fully into a detail of his senti ments on so momentous a subject.
