TO TRIII RIGIIT }ION.

LORD VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH% Re. Re.

,Lotn,---Having had many opportunities -of
considering with qttention the relative situation
of this country with America, it may not he unin-
teresting to your Lordship to peruse the senti-
ments of a person mho' views this unexpected and
singular war in a practical light, and who, with
its great political import ince, treats the question
likewise as it hears upon the commercial interests
of are it Britain.

At the' tittle when our Orders in Council.were
rescinded, and when that memorable question,
was 'determined. in se) unexpected a manner, it was
the general opinion, that America wouldieel her-
self amply :indemnified for' the suppOsed injuries
and privations to which, she -had been -subject.
The British Cabinet, if) rescinding the I.)iders iii
Council, snrificed a
,greikt flea) to , the pt culiar!
stuation in which this country Was' then placed.'
in fact, that situatiin was 'most critical at the
time. The power of BUONAPARTE was at its
height ; iris armies carried deatruction and terror,
even to the gates of Mosco* ; the existence of
Spain was a matter of uncertainty ; and at home,
we had not only .I.,powerfal, and decided party in
the .:..enate opposed to Government, but our ma-
..nufaeturing towns- teemed with discontented and
dangerous sp rats ; our nierchants were broken,
our toanuf.ricturers ruined, and; in the eyes of those
who ever anticipate disaster to their own country,
the old and much admired fabric of the State vent-
ed to be shaken to its-very centre.
As events of this kind seldom lose ih their int•
portance or thsastrrius appearance by being con-
veyed to another quarter of the globe, it- is n'Ok
improbable but that the American Government'
was more sanguine' as to the destruction tit this
country than even BuotiArAturi., himself for, had,
the AMC; ican Legislature felt even a doubt as to
the issue, it is fair tti conclude, that it would
never have risked the loss it is now so likely to
endure, for the expectation of sharing with France
the commerce of the world. But the knericans
fancied they beard the knell of England,. at 'the
sound of which they eagerly declared war----a dis-
graceful war; for, had it succeeded, it is not too
much to say, that it would have swept front the
face of the globe much of what is uptight, great,
snit virtuous
That: the commercial prosperity (of this country
was, at- the period I allude to, at its lowest ebb,
will be sufficiently apparent from theinass of evi-
dence produced to the Legislature, 4tot-only from
- this. town, but. from all the manufacturing dis-
tricts ; and that a close and most intimate con-
nexion subsisted (and I doubt not still exists)
between Franh nn l America, will likewise be ob-
vious, from the bintultaneplo measures of the two
Governments, arranged in the most complete con.
curt, and acted upon by America, with as little
regard to our concessions, as the most scrupulous
attention to the wishes Of NAPOLEOW. It was
plain then that America. had! taken ..her .grouud,
and wished for war. She viewed- the prosperity
our ,ettiumentt, In Canada, 'and,the increasing
trade of that country, with-aiteutous eye, and she.
fully expected, not only to deprive as of that por-
tion of territory at (ACC, but to triumph over our.
utter ruin ; and to-raise herself 'mistress of the
Western, as her restless Paramour intended to be
Lord of the Eastern Hemisphere.
But events the most surprising almost home-
. diately occurred to wither their hopes while even
in the bud ; they were; in fact,, blighted by the
flames of Moseow. That man-must indeed be
,sceptical, who, in tracing the occurrences which
have since followed in such rapid occession, does
not discern the same Hand which guided PtIARACkIi
to his ruin ; rind which, happily for,Eagland, bus
preserved her untouched And nudespoilcd amid the
wrecks and convulsions of the vest-of the world.
War, however, began ; the die was cast ; and,
while she imagined le4ngland. tottering on the brink
.of a dreadful precipice, America, the' unnatural
Chill of her bosom, ranged herself with France,
in the foil expectation thatlier weight would turn
lice beam. Vain delusion ! Blest fatality for Great
Britain !
I shall conclude these remarks by- entreating
that your Lordship willbe tit: etratthle of corn-,
paring the present state of: our mantattetures,:now:
that. the Americans are fairly and opeoly at war-
with us, with, their condition previously to the
commencement of itetual.hostilitieS. 1 shaliiike,

wise request your _Lordship to co►npare the pre.
sent value ►►ncl employment of British ship-
ping,
_a►7d occupation of British merchants and

miaow' eamers now, and then—,Tto compare the
r
state of commercial credit (ai hit; too accurately,
I:ceerded in the Gfrotte) now, with the period
Oove alluded.to the cornmerci4 l;1141ice, will be
found astonishingly in favonr ?fan Aineritan war
—and, why ? Because. the.. forbeitratice and Jibera-
(..;reat Britain knew . no botirtd
American Chips tvere the carriers of the world—
becase Attu:ma, to tog, at peace herbelf, could
supply South ,Ahuifti, the ,INtelljtOrraneati, and
even at of our, East India poshessiont; t
they wanted, cheaper. than WC coillti do it (4.lc-
schres*—,—anda becausc America, cvvn pit opcn war
with us,, will have, must have, our manufactures

for tier Own consumption.
I know it will he sai, that Great Britain lizrlat
many different petiods tlisplay,ed grut Neverity to.
wards American semen and .Ainerica4 propevty.

To this I reply, thlt tve have livedlota contiue
to live, in tittles beyond the reach of' precedent—
the times have lieen;-nnd continue-0 be, unpre-
,ettlented ; the total change of ail regularly eau-
,hlished usages by the-Freneh Government, did
compel, and must, compel Great Britain to look
equally to her own .advoutage, her own strength,
and her own greatness. And, lastly, I observe,
that even an ',cinterfcatt Legislator has defined the'
TAA vt*NTAI lost to be no mirre or less tlran Na-
tional over, dir,!eted by 'National interest-4c
principle by .which,-he says, America herself is
gohted in her relationgi with Foreign Powers.
:To timimpartial judgment-of the ivtirld. I sub-
trtito, whether

For the sake of homaiiity--for the ofintalY

- such great advantages as this war baS su 'in-,.
