JACKSON is not much liked by John Bell's csolvoo

since the bsttle of New Orleans ;" implying there-
by that•a di►like or jealously towards this Officer
had influenced the British and their friends to cen-
sure Iris conduct. How immeasurably this writer
mistakes the British character, if he imagii.es that
the result of an inconsiderable skirmish (compared
with the mighty achievements that Ogee oar arisi
nals), decided by chance, or by a great superiority
of numbers and advantage of position, could of er:t
the cool deliberate judgment of this nation. Gem-
yul JACKSON may perchance be looked to in the
United Slates as a SCIPIO or a HANNIBAL, but
were he to depend for his fame is Europe upon
the defence of a ditch at New Orleans, where his
assailants could not by any means reach him Mier
by ball or bayonet, his laurels would 501111 wither
in forgetfulness. General JACKSON ! Ilir name
had absolutely been forgotten until his late seizure
of Pensacola had, with the kind assistance of the
Republican Press, raked it from the oblivion in
which it would otherwise have rested for ever.

to, arid that very prompt and vigorous measure*
should be adopted, in order to secure the triumph

A considerable improvement has re( ently taker

According to ‘Varhington Journals, a flire!•e r
sories of which have arrived, a Cabinet CI a
was held in that city on the 17th of July, lin.: I-
diatcly after the arrival of the EttesinEsr, ttll!c:
very impurtunt buainess was transacted. The Spa-
nish Ambassador, Don ON ts, returned a few day,
afierwarda to Ins country house at Bristol, fitaa
which it was generally conjectured that the c.iptin,:

to any rupture with Spain; as, had that bren
liable, Don Oats would most certainly hate taistit
his immediate departure fur Europe.

that the Governor seemed firm in his deteenduatan

to decamp.
From unother arrival at Nos folk we learn, that
while the British sloop of war the Bricen was
cruising between St. Kitt's and St. Barthokint res.

Several quarrels after this took place between the
different Chiefs, but the influesice of ItOOSHLN
