Government we understand are possessed of dis

the I rtnch papers, of the British influence in that
capital having declined. The events on the Da

in Dobrognu, had excited much alarm and embar

change in their intercourse wth our minister, whose

The UnitedStattn and (*r tat-Britain,
We have i user ted in this day’s paper enough ol
the dnruimms accompanying the message of the
president of the United States, to give an idea of
the merits of the misunderstanding between Mr.
Jackson anti the American government. If that
government have nothing better than these dotu*
in vits to estaiiiish us cJaims to tiir unanimity
w 1.1 ch it acqunes amongst the people ot the Ututeii
'.'tales, we apprehend it ;5 not likely to succeed.—
i lu first doty of those who wish to put an cud to
existing ddiereuces, is to throw a veil of oblivion
<>>. r tiu* past, and to avoid ail subjects ol irritation,
fn the pr sent lus'anic, the first step of the gnv-ern
m .nt of tl-e United States has been to accuse Greet
Britain id a breach oi goi *i faith. The natural con
sequence wes, as has happened, an attempt on tin
p.nt ot the British minister, to repel such an inju
rious imputation on Ins government; and ft is a
in,,at unjustifiable proceeding on the part of the U
iiiird Slates, to have broken oh the negotiation be
cause tie would not submit to such an accusation.
Flit parts ol Mr. Jackson’s cnminunicjimni, at
which the American administration took alienee,
are belore the public ; and that public will decide,
whether they are not more moderate than might
have been justified by the odious, and wlmtappears
to us totally unfounded, accusation against bis go
vernment. p "
The inference from the whole of the conduct of
the government of tlie United States, in its rommo
nicatious with Mr. Jarksm, is, that it is not dis
posed lo rente to any arrangement of its differences
with Great Britain, upon the terms which it cau
Obtain.
