It will bring the diipute to a short issue. Where
then is tho•conceSsion or submission ? Would our
coodua to Spain, in 1905, have been more vigorous
or decisive if we had searched. her 'Galleons, arid
taken out the speck, alledging that we were ailing
towards her as a Neutral? Was it concession Ito
bring them into
.Thmouth ?
But to have dOne with this, which is really little
more than a dispute about words, let us consider the
eiiea of Admital IltaKELEy's System. Let us sup-
'pose our Captains Were universally instru6ted' to
'Search all Neutral Ships of War. If thdAmericans,
persist in their opposition, every time that a British
and AMerican Vessel fall in together produces an
action. \Vat is this but War ? And are we still to
call the Atnericat, Neutrals ; are we still to permit
their Merchantmen 'to carry
.on their accustomed
Trade ? TM; is not only War, but War most dii-
advantageous to Britain.

There is yet another contingency. What if a
British Commander .meet with an. American of far
superior force, on board of which he has reason to
.believe there are several Deserters He must of
course .gssqt his right to search; if refused, is he to
engage with the certainty of dostruttion or capture,
or is he to acquiesce ?
In whatever point of view this question is con-
sidered, the result must be, that the system of
search. is I partial, inadequate, and hazardous re-,
Mt:ay f* a ►'ery extensive evil. America might per:.
hails prefer it to war, as it would be realizing
the fantastic idea of Military Kr and Commercial
Peace..; It would require from us the satne fprces

the same expence, as. declared if.ar with America'',
without ridding us of the ditEclalties occasionid bI

her neuirality.. . . .
• We have dwelt longer on this subjea .than it
would have seemed to require, had not the measure
adopted been totally misconceived.. We shall to-
morrow make some remarks on the conduEt of Ad-
miral 13ptKELEv.

The conduit of the Spaniards towards the un-
fortunate Crew of His Majesty's Schooner Felix, as
stated in the inelanclioly Narrative in our. Paper of
yesterday, is more charaaeristie of barbarians than
,of the inhabitants of a civilized Country.—There was
a time when the Spaniards would have shewn a
more noble, generous, and hospitable temper;- but
• 4inee their intercourse with re volutionary France they
seem to have lost the feelings of humanity, as well
as their spirit as an independent Nation.

Yesterday morning his Ma4syrx,,Princesses Au-
ousTa, SopurA, and ANtimiA, attended. by Lady G.
MURRAY, Conn; MUNSTER, Generals Ftrzatov and
CARTI,64IGHT, and Colonel. TAYLOR, rode on horse-

Several horses, and some of the baggage of Louis
XVIII. have been landed at Hull. They were dis.L
embarked from .a Vessel bound thither, otherwise,
it was understood, they would have been sent to
Leith, where that unfortunate Prince is expected
hourly.
In our Paper of Friday last we mentioned that a
war had broken out in Africa; between several of
'the 'tribes, in consequence of a robbery conimitted
on the tomb Of one of the Chiefs of the Asshenteis.
We have since been favoured with the perusal of the
official account of all the circumstances attending
that affair. It appears by these, that the Asshenteis,
headed by their , King, in person, on the 16th of
June, proceeded to invest the fort of Anamaboo,
which was garrisoned by the African Company's
alaves and boys, and twenty-four soldiers, under the
command of Mr. Wuria, and Messrs. MRII2DIT)f,
SWANZY, linitq.ss, and 'SMITH: The Asshenteis

first took the town, and then proceeded under the
walls of the garrison, and demanded all such per-
sons as had takenaSnidtelbteetr,'v
seveintliiinot:o7.man. A dreadful
carnage ensued,
per-
sons became vielirns. Mr. WHITE received two
shots, one of which was in his mouth. _Mr.lO-
REDITH; Mr. SWANZy, and Mr. BAINRS, were
slightly wounded.. Mr. WHITE was pot dead, but -
the Country was 'derived of his services. Rein-
forcements were obtained from Cape Castle, under.
the comMand of Captain BOLD ; they wire
barked on board the Co/pays, and were landed at
Anamaboo. The Governor of Eltnine expressed a
wish; to adjust .the dispute, but the mediation was'
withheld, and Was afterwards adjusted by a flag of
trnce,. sent out by Mr..Wnire. After the battle of
Anatnaboo, the Asshenteis fled to ,Capt; Coast
Castle with the remains of their, army. The tribes
were received by the 'English, who explained to
them folly of their condua. Not less, than
0000 women took shelter in the garrison,
