The important news from Ameriea, con
ssi tained in our papere of yesterslav and to
si day, relate to three subjects: The sinao
ces of the country, with which We have
less concern ; the conduct to be pursued in
relation to Mr. ]ackeon ; and the meaeutes
proposed upon the resum ption of out or
ders in council. The lest is By far the'
man momeutoue topic ;. for upon it will ul
timcttely depend the question of peace or
war. si
The resolutione proposed by Mr. Troup,
a member of the house of rcprescntatives,
i.! adopted as a law, would, in apprehend,
.be deeieive o! the determinzdsiton of the A— ss
memam to uppeal to the sword. Exclu- \
eive of the consideration of this melancho

evident to all diepeesionate understandings,
that the resolutions are in themselves par

can become the subject of invectigation. !. -
