The President wishes to ascertain the public opi 7 nion on the question of Peace or War, and hence has brought it betiare the Public through themedium of his. ktelligencer. The question is now in disetis, sioti, .and the result can easily be prediaed. "It lithe attack on the Chesapeake was unauthorized by the' British GOverninent, and satisfaaory atonement shall be made us, we shall not go to war to maintain the unjust claim of.a right to proteft British seamen, de serters, or mutineers, in theirown seas. = Your ESIMETS, DONN,' And CIIRICTKIIMS, and all those who have escaped from j3ritish real or sup pos7d oppression (and there are many in the south ern and middle States), will be for war ; but—the expediency and justice of the Majority of the Union will probably prevent it. Should War Resolution# be introduced At the com mencement pf the next Session pf Congress, we can easily forsee the ground that will be taken by nANDOLPH, and we can almost already hear his thunder and see his lightning direaed to those great men who can as patiently as mules be whipped, cuffed and kicked by the Spaniards, but who be come Hofspurs, jealous of honour, if the English do either. • We are glad to find that the Intelligencer has at last given us some account of the persons claimed and takens' from on. board the Chesapeake. , There i much reason to believe they were, several of them; native ,Americans : we hope it will be so proved, , yet it should be remembered, that JONATHAN ROB. BINS was, certainly horn in Danbury, Conneaicut,„ though he . afterwards confessed himself an'lrishmaii by the name of !Dials!! NASH. Anxious as many of our strong ; patriots are fora war with England, -it ought to be remembered that such a war, in the .present state of English affairs, in all probability, wilhiet be unpopular with a great part of the subjeets of that kingdom. While it be hoves us to consider tho , probable profits on both s ides, it becomes o c to cuusitlci tiac certain injuriCa ou both sides.

To wake War appears to be occasioned by the outrage on the ChesaNftke, and nut . a prudekrinined - affair.. *We hope there is no French' influence in this.

Our Administration have longbeen determined to obtain, or rather to Maintain, the right of screening• titish subja% under the American nag ; and hope to succeed by coupling this question, with the late outrage on the ,Chesapeake. The subje(ls are quite distina and even if the affair-of the Chempenke be a just ,cause for war, should that be settled, the pro tedion ofilritish seamen not only is not a just cause of war, but will not, most assuredly wilt not, be so considered by. the great mass of the people. It it be true that these demands have been sent to England,' with orders for the return of our Mini-, titers, shbuld they not,be complied With, it is going as thr as the Government can go to declare War.—, I The President , well knows, that the British will never give up their right of searching American 'Merchantmen, in the narrow seas,' for their own SubjetSls. It would ruin their Nail, and their ex iitence as a Nation ; and moreover, neither justice 'nor policy demand it.
