EXTRACT Or A LETTER PRONIi 'NOVA SCOTIA,
FERIWAit ISIA.
Since my :13$t letter to, you, it appears the
aspect'rdfa;rs has inaterially changed, in regard
to the Americans. ' At that time, the Ministry en,
tertained sangnine,hopes, the enemy; ivnitla listen
to the pacific overture* sent-oat by I.,ditairal WAR-
REN, (though.,na one here did,) but, ittptesent,
they twist be eonineed, if any thing eon convince
them, that such hopes have corn tetely tailed,—
The Attachment which the major part of the :in7
habitants of the British ,:,hierican"Colonies feel
towards the Mother Count•:•y existing ,in ;pritici-
'pie, we fell greatly tpOrtitied, that such wavering
theasures 'are adopted, as now pro Tail," We, who
are on the spot, entertain hot one Oioion on the
subject, which is, that the itse::.t mauss of thc
habitants .thc United State; are hostile toGreat
Britain; anti, inerralible as it may seem to those
,wito never wartsintimatewith their. aaraeter,
.that, with very few, they pc situ
hate iii. Tlye dri:iy variety 0 sentiment among,
them t that some Of their number ditilike the
Vrencli more than the 1;',! 3 and slit t•e!it, the
'LIL more than the‘Freneli slut both clilsses
ill be stns Friends, if we it their interest. -
The only object lvhich tin. Awcriean t. nverninciut'
have in view, is to Set-their friendship up to auc-
tion; between thc two nations. That of .Grept
Britain, .shoulti he to despise 'their cunning, and
pow :sit their presutaption. T w ,here are a te
renctinlng• here, who witnessed the whole of the_
American RebelliOn, front the destruction of the
Tea, to the Treaty of Peace ; arid ive lament to
say, that the nation at huge scent now to know'
more of the ..i.rnirietth character titan the 'Mi-
nistry, their OPpiir-Sition; and the pithlie, of,those.:
times did. The errors of Great Britian, end the
American ,suceess, then proceeded from that ig-
norance, and a ;Ike consequence threatens to be
'the result in these tinies. • ' •
it is'the united opinitmi of these provinces that
sis toe Americans first declared war, the offers of
peace should come frornthetn; but if grantedtootir,
supplications, we shall reap
,rio adVantage front
our nuniility. Nothing will ensure uc stieeess•but
very great and timely exertions. . All possible
means ought to he used this winter, in Canada, as'
we understand there will tOzet an cliicient
naval toree,.onthe Litis• in the spring ; and, ge-
nerally speaking, t 6 defend the province, and an=
noy the posts on the lines only. On the sea-side,
to defend these provinces and our fisheries an tide-
quate naval force, of different classa, should be-
stationed in 'the entraitei of thelliver St. Law-
rence, the way of Chaleurs; and the Ut of Am*
and to keep one, two, or three small armies at
sea, .is sl4 e have-the'inettitS of entering their har-
hours tun! of destroying every thing afloat is ithin

fence, to Ins e dam-feel a portion of the ill effects;

the ensuing summer, than they had dudug the laSt
