NEW-YORK, Ocr iB.
DEMOCRATIC SCURRILITY.--From the moment

the appointment of Mr. Jackson, to succeed Mr.

Erskine, was known in this country, the dernocrah
tic Papers -have teemed with the most scurrilous'
abuse. of that Minister and of the nation he repre-
sents. Before his arrival, every effort was made to
prejudice the President to refuse to acknowledge
Itim.as a foreign Minister. And even now, notwith-
standing the Executive has resisted their efforts and
received Mr. Jackson with customary civility, yet
the same system of slander is continued in pperition.
The same stream of calumny is poured forth,.to the
disgrace of our national charatier, and the: regret
and disgust of all decent men in the community.
What obje& con the democrMic Editors have to
induce them to proceed in this scurrilous career ? Is
it to disgust and irritate the accredited Miiiister and
the Government that sent him Is it, to confuse
and distra& our own Administration ? Is it to throw
obstruCtiono in 'the way to as arnieable'and hOn'onr-
able.adjustinent of difficulties, and thus invOlve.onr

country ins a ruinot:s and exterminating war

-Whatever may 13. e, their objet, their coodutl, at a
Moment like the present, •deserves and will receive
the indigoativn of the pubic.

GEORGE .are often put, to
the blush, and we have frequently expressed our de-
testati9n of the outrageous attacks of our. dernc,cratto
Editor;, on the character of the new British Mini
ster.---We have asked, ,are we a savage or civilized
people' N'Yere these national aas,or acs of Atue-

ricans,.the answer wouldbe we are neither, for.
such conduct would sink us in degradation beneath
the most-barbarous savages.. the aborigines of,The
wilderness, respea,l he rights Of ho Titan ty.

A common Messenger, sent to one of _the most
savage tribes of the West, would be treated with
re,pezt, and be proteaed both in his person and re-,
putation. Shoilld these wanderers of the woods be.
so ttntortunate as to have Duanes, Irvines, or other
inip,,rted patriots atnong them, and ;hey should in-
cult the messenger, and the nation that sent him,
and of coarse the nation to which he was sent, their
lives would pay for their audacity.

liave the misfortune to Lave sueh.•feilows
among•us, and haye no way to punish themtctiAl4eir,
brutality But wo have tlii3.Consolatiop, that no oa7.
tire- American would be guilty .of, such rudeness._
And, thetth, we are (.need to. tak. shame to our
eol;otyy for suppor!.in, such people, we hope candid.
liereigriers not set down r!;er atrocities to the.
conddt of the nation ; for. ;hey may depend Coal a
great majorify.of the people of this country despise,
and detest such conduct.

letter from London, .received at Boston• by the
Packet, meptions that a gentletuan.bad-arzi‘ed there.'
from Rotterdatn, who saw;Mr.' Armstrong at:that •
place on the tsth August:. He was informed by
the Minister• that after the *defeat at Aspvt4 he
was ca:led upon by a member' of the Bureau, who
said the Emperor was disposed. to be in amity with
; and after some further conference, articleg
. were. aanally agreecLon as.the .basis of a treaty-4
which. were scot Off to the Emperor; but in the
mean time lhe YiCiory of, Wagram, changed Ms.
position, and notice wasssent to Paris that no further
uegociation should take place, 'until the Vnilecl
States, declared war against England. Mr. Arm-
strong said he shetuld not attempt any thing further';
but expeCied to return to Paris, and embark fot
America, with his family.

Reports from Washington concur-in stating that
the executive are in dose and constant discussion

in favour of these-.discussions. terminating amicahly.
