.1 comprossed-riew of the Points to be -di.seasscil, in treating
lolth the goiter States of America; A. I). ISI4 : with an
,/ppehdia• and two Maps. J. M. IticuAnDsoN,

We resume our Review of this interesting
Pamphlet, certain that we could not select any
other subject more likely to satizdy public cmio-
sky at this period. We left off- yesterday with a
statement of the necessity of establishing a new
houtrdary line for the prescrvati,au of our North
American provinces.- Upon this topic our author
greatly ,enlightens us.

"'The great feature of this new line; strentt-
o►isly to be insisted on, ought to be the exclusion
of the Americans from the navigation of the. St.
Lawrence, and all its congregation of tributary
yeas and waters. They are the natural patrimony
of the Canadas-. Water communications do not
offer either a natural or secure boundary. Moun-
tains separate, but rivers approximate ihankind.
Hence the prominent boundary should- be the
heights of land separating the- respective terri-
tories. If tl:is basis were alopted, the advantages
of it, on looking At the map, will be obviouS to
the
,most superficial observer. We should have
possession of Lake -Champlain, and the waters
descending into it ; of an adjacent country ; and
of the southern shores of all the great lakes, of
which we have now only the northern coasts ;
together with the whole of Lake Michigan, from
which, through a series of the same watercourse,
we are wholly excluded. In this quarter, the
heights of land separate the waters that flow into
the great lakes, from those that take their course
towards the Missisippi ; and as, by the eighth ar-
ticle of the treaty of 1783, we are entitled
,to the
tree navigation of that important river, so essen-
tial an advantage should not be neglected to be
ensured to us, and a point of contact of our terri-
tories with a navigable part of that river, secured
by a line down one of the livers running into it
in these regions, or along a height of land be-
tween two ,of them.

" No arguments need be used to illustrate the
extreme importance of this last object, which is

obvimis.

" Before dismissing the subject of out; own
boundary line, 'it may be well to advert to the
limits as now existing between New Brunswick
and the United States ; and if we cannot get to
the Penobscot, at least let some route or line be
drawn, by which 'we may be enabled to have a
free communication between Canada and Nova
Scotia. And it'is also, perhaps, the more requi-
site to insist upon the necessity of our resuming
the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay, as, by the un-
ratified convention of 1803, it was most unac-
countably agreed to cede them to the United
States, this Government being, it l's presumed,,
ignorant not only 'of their importance, but of
their having been for many years part of the pa-
rish of Vest Isles, in the county ofCharlottc (the
southernmost county of New Brunswick), paying
.the rates and acknowledging the municipd regu-
lations incident upon such an appropriation.
The next subject handled in this able and use-
ful pamphlet is, the necessity of a new boun-
dary line for our Indian Allies, and some nefa-
rious transactions of the AMericans, with respect
to the Indians, are recorded ill letters of blood.
These, shocking as, they are, we have reason to
know, are but a very few of tbe'atrocities com-
mitted.

. Upon the next branch, we do not precisely go
the length of our authority.. The -principle of
'the mare liberum is a noble one, and we are willing
to allow America'every thing which can be con-
ceded, consistent with justice and our own secu-
rity. Theii• exports to the West Indies• may be
thrown behind our own, by the imposition 0010-
ties, and it would be ungenerous in Britain to
prohibit altogether the privilege Of fishing on the
Newfoundland coast, when, under proper re-
straints, it can be MO injury to ourselves. But
the writer of the Compressed View is of a sterner
disposition— •
" The next polka to be adverted to is, the ne-
cessity of excluding the Americans from the fish-
eries on the coasts of British North Amerida, espe-
cially those of Labradore, Newfoundland, and the
Gulf of St. Lawrence.

" The third article of the treaty of 1783, which
zdmits them to take and dry fish on the shores. of
these Colonies, ought to be utterly abrogated,
and every vestige of its existence taken away.—
Improvident and impolitic' in the outset, expe-
rience has shewn, that it is much more injurious
than might, on a superficial view, be supposed.
That the Americans were enabled thereby to carry
our own fish to the West Indies, and- derive great
part of the advantages of a trade which nature
points out as belonging to us, is too well known
to be more largely insisted on But the latent
evil consists in the encroachments committed, the
insults offered, the depraved habits introduced,
mid the contraband trade carried on, under the
mask of fishery, by the Americans, wherever their
feet have been set on shore. 'That the mode in
which the Americans have in this respect eon-
ducte4 themselves, is a systematic preliminaty to
the ulterior ,views of their Government for the
acquisition of territorial power in those parts, is
apparent, when ft is remarked, that in an article'
of a Treaty concluded between France and the
United States within the last twelve years, they
mutually guarantee such lands as they may ac-
quire in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and this at
a time when neither of them owned an inch of
laud in the Gulf.

4.‘ Not less than twelve hundred sail of Ameri-
Can vessels were on those coasts, on rcaal or Fe-
tended fishing expeditions, in 1805,, And a very
extended illicit trade was carried on by them."
This' last is, indeed, 0 serious evil, and care
ought to be taken, that this unprincipled Go-
vernment does not abuse the favours granted to
.
it. .The Writer now enlarges .on the policy of ern-
con aging onr'faithtul Colonists, in the increase
of their population, agriculture, trade, and fish-
eries, so that t'.ey may amply and permanently
supply, the West Indies, which the war has shewn

need irV npthivg dependant on .Americu. lid

In 1780 • ' from England, 17,795

" As to these and other necessaries the West.
India demand was amply answered. 'fhe planter
also derived ground provisions from the best of
allyeeourses; their owll industry, and began to.
. learn a' lesson, which, is of the greatest import-
ance for every people to know,—that no commu-
nity' ought to xlepend, upon their neighbours for
the necessaries of life, and that the country which
is .physically dependant upon another, l'uns the
greatest hazard of
,becoming', sooner or later, also
politically dependant upon... it.
" From authentic documents, it is undeniably,
proved, that, for the space of eight years, pend-
ing the American war, the West Indies was whol-
ly subsisted without entertaining any commercial
intercourse with the Thirteen States ; that dur-
ing that period they were supplied by the mother
country and her dependencies ; and that they not
only existed, but thrived and 'prospered without
America."
11re shall not attempt even to enumerate many
of the minor considerations•-eidoreed ill this con-
densed and excellent Work. Perhaps the impor-
tance of the following points may excuse our no-
ticing them, in addition to our already copious
extracts. • The Author argues that America ought
to be excluded'from our Asiatic commerce, and
that the Floridas ought by no means to be per-
mitted.to be incorporated with the United States.
After insisting on these subjects, the original por-
tion' or the Publication closes with this' sum-
Diary.
"To conclude. The . summary of what we.
have attempted to shew the necessity of, and
have warmly recommended-to those Whom Great
Britain may charge with the adjustment of our
differences with America,
" Ist, A new boundary line throughout the
whole extent of North America,v where our pos-
sessions and those of the. United States come into
contact ; keeping in view, that
" Nova Scotia and New Brunswick he restored
to their ancient limits, security against aggression;
and a - free communication with Canada be ob-
tained, without passing throng-1i the United States,
and the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay he resumed
by. us :.
" That the Americans be excluded from the na-
vigation of the St. Lawrence, and of all its tribu,
tary lakes and waters and
That a navigable part of the Missisippi be.'
brought within our Canadian territories.
" 2dlY, A new boundary line for the Indian,
territory.
" 3dly, No forts, or military posts, to be
erected by the Americans in the Indian territory,
Or on the houndaries, or any territorial, or other
jurisdiction, or public property 'possessed by them
within those limits.
•" 4thly, The independence of the Indians, and
the integrity of their boundaries, to be guaran-
teed by Great Britain.
" sthlv, The Americans to be•excluded from the
fisheries on the Coasts of British North America,
incidentally on this head taking care that it be
recommended-in negotiating with France, by 'no
means to restore the islands of Sr. 'Pierre and
Miquelon,''or to permit the French to participate
in the fisheries of Newfoundland.
"'Gaily, The Americans to be excluded from
all intercourse with the British West India
Islands.
" ithly, The Americans to be excluded from
itrading with 'our 'East India possessions, and their
pretended right to the north-west coast of America
to be extinguished for ever.
".Bthly, The Americans not -to be allowed to
incorpoiate the Floridas with their republic; and
the cession. of New Orleans to be required; in
order to ensure to us the due enjoyment of our
privilege to navigate the Missisippi : and- here it
may also be a question, in how far the arrange-
ments made between Spain, France, and America,
respecting Louisiana, can come into discussion.
" Lastly, No commercial treaty to be entered
into ‘Vith the United States ; but the base& upon
which trade is in future to be carried on between
the two 'nations, to be defined and acknowledged
in the treaty of peace and amity, and to be regu-
lated by the municipal laws of each country."
There is an appendix of a letter full of matter.,
which was
,firs.t published in • the -3•Prisitin;; Post,
14th Jan. 1813, which we believe made-Stich an
impression as to render it unnecessary for us to go
again into the subjects which it embraces. We •
shall therefore close these remarks, by once more
strenuously recommending this. pamphlet, With
its excellent mapc, to the public. A more (lucid
work we could not present to them,
.and are
sure we shall be thanked' wby those lio possess.'
themselves of it in consequence of these ohServa-•
tions. For ourselves we can only say, we -perused
it with great instruction and delight, and our only
difficulty in reviewing has been to restrain from
copying . every line for the information of our
Readers. .
Among the'new works announced in the French
Papers, there is, The'Ogre of Corsica, a true His-
tory,. translated from the Russian, embellished with
a handsome engraving.

On the evening of Saturday se'nnight, as Mr.
Brown, farmer, of Felton, was, returning home
about eleven o'clock, he was stopped by three
men, two of whom held his horse, while the third
robbed him of his watch .and 25 shillings. They
went into a field, where Mr. Brown followed
them, and gave .a loud alarm, which .presently
brought up M. Thomas, of Patchw•ay, and his
son ; *on which the robbers finding themselves be.•
set, concealed themselves in a ditch, from whence
they were separately drawn ont, and safely con-
ducted to Felton. They restored the money
which had been stolen,. and the watch was found
in the ditch close to one of them. Next morning
they were committed to. gaol by Mr. NVEBB, of
llenbury. One of them is a, marine, who' has
spent no less than 130/. which he received on his
discharge.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

.0 CRT OF CHANCERY, Auc. 16.

EARL OF WARWICK V. EARL OF OSSORY.

This day .was occupied in the discussion Of this
.cause., on a motion made by 'Sir Samuel Romilly,
supported l\' Mr. Bell, and Mr. Wakefield,
'ing for an order that the castle, aarden;-and pica-
Sure ground of the Noble rail-toff Should be
livered up to him; on his payment Ai' a sum of
26,0001. under, a,tertain deed of trust, dated in
in the year 1806, and likewise the resi4e of the
reuts, issues, and profits of the rest Of-the:plain-'
tiff's estate committed in trust by the -deed for
payment of debts and other family purposes..
The motion was opposed by Sir A. PIGOTT,
Mr. PIiESTON, and Mr. HEALD, on the ground
that this motion prayed the full benefit of a lie=
cree on*a full hearing of the,cause, whereas the
deed contained a cause to the effect of keeping the
rest :of the estates in the trust until all incurs-.
brancos were discharged except the castle, gar-
den, and pleasure grounds, which they consented
to be restored to *the plaintiff, but no.fUrther in-
this state of the cause..

These arrangements Were made under a refer-
ence before SirJ. Mansfield and Baron Richqrds,
who appointed a Mr.• Alexander, receiver ad inle-
rim, in place of a Mr..l ames,'t he previous receiver.
After hearing the arguments-, the Lotto CHAN-
CELLOR staled, that he could only grant the first
part of the motion relative to the castle, garden,
and pleasure grounds, but that the residue should
abide ulterior consideration, unless the parties
came to some arrangement or aceQuimodation,—
The rst'pa►•t of tlie ►notion was granted.
