it is 'at al times necessary to be particular in observiAg the
above Caution, which will be the toemli of pre.yentin,; the
which have of late been pradised.

ft is Well knt;wn that America has long been
divided into two parties ; the federal, and thean
ti,federal. The former comprises a majority of
the
.nien of fortune, talent, and education : of
this party were Washington, Adams, HanailtOn)
and many others, by whom the federal govern=
meat was established, and conducted for twelve
years, in the 'course of which AMerica made a
most rapid progress in prosperity,and reputation.
The anti7federal or French party, a, turbulent de=
mocratical faCtion.froin the beginning, is said to
be composed of. adventurers from all countries) •
men of desperate fortunes and ruined characters,
leaders of. the rabble .With whom they familiarly
whose manners and dress they affect to
tate, and whose -services -they command when-
gver they find it necessary tar raise a clamour or.
. collect a mob. The superior vigonr-and .activity
of this faction, in,lBoo', raised Mr. deff'erson to
the Presidency, ~ This gentlemaivis described as
being, in _tile strict sense of the Thraise, a modern
philosopher; a pupil of _Rousseau;. a reasoner on
universal liberty,' and 'universal Philanthropy,
whom all _the horrors of the French Revolution,
and the total annihilation of liberty by the nalitary •
despotism which it engendered, were insufficient
to drive from his preconceived idea, that virtue
could exist only ill , democracy. FugitiVes from
all parts of the world were receiyed with open
arias by this patron of Cosmopolites. :French re-
. gicides, Irish rebels, and malefactors of every •
kind; who had fled from the ofi:ended yaws of
their country deodands cf the gallows,' (as-
,
they are significantly called by an American au-
thor),
,` who had left their ears on the whipping
posts of hurope'—fOund an asylum in 'America.
Whole shOals of
rthis description flocked to the
President's. Standard ; many of them %were ad-
mitted to his. confidence ; some were employed in
the inferior departments of goverement ; some
were thrust into Congress 5 and to others, was en-
trusted the conduct of the press, that great in--
strument of factions in America. A denaceratical
jmirepl is, piabli,3hed in every little towp. ; in some
of the larger, eight or ten, all teeming with abuse
of Enejand, and of the federal party, who and •
reproached for a'Aupposed attachment to the land.
of their forefathers. Mr. •Madison„it is
.said, im-
bibed the principles, and follows tip the views of •
his master. His policy is,represented as fluctuat-
ing with every batch of news that is wafted from
Europe across the Atlantic ; and as vibrating to •
the feelings and the sentiments of a set of adven,
turers in the sea-port towns, men without cha-
racter and without aeountry ; as appealing to the
opinion of, the mob, and then bending to that
opinion.—ln one word, America is said to be,, at
this moment, as much 'swayed by the clamorous
rabble and_the democratic clubs of the sea-port
towns, as the Directory of France was in the very
worst periods of the RevOlution.

if this be a true. description of the present
state of parties and of the government in Aine-
rim, we can easily account for the loudness of
the war-cry which is now raised there. We trust,
however, that there is equal* truth in the assur-
ance, which we have received from good authori-
ty, that the respectable part of the United States
desire nothing more, anxiously than the preserva2
tion of. peace
,With 'England ; .and although the
large majorities in Congress on the resolutions
for war measures; may seem.to disprove this
s,tatement, and although we confess ow-selves by
no rneans satisfied with the manner in which
these majorities are accounted for by some per,
sons who profesi to be in the secret of American
politics, and who tell us of a settled plan of the
federal party to urge on the demlicrats to th-c
brink of a war, as the surest means of getting
theovernment into their own hands, and rescu-
ingz, the country from destruction a conduct in
our opinion of dangerous and doubtful policy;
we trust nevertheless, that better counsels will
yet. ultimately actuate America—she will open
her eyes to her. true interests; she will see her
own prosperity in the prosperity of Great Britain)

and in those maritime rights, againit which she
joins with France, at this moment, in clamour-
ing so loudly, she will see, not merely the safe-

guards of British power, but the surest protec-

Lion of. American independence.

LONDON,

VEVNESO4%Y, JUNE 10, 1812.

As nothing: can be more evident than that the
PRINCE REGENT had endeavoured to complylvith
the desires of the House of Commons, by f6rm-
ing such an extended Administration as might ex-
cite the confidence of the people, and as the
Mayquis-l'irTa,LEsLEy and Earl MOIRA,, who were
invested' with full powers to effect this important
measure,- were obliged to reign those powers,
*-eappeal to-the good sense of the nation, whe-
ther his Royal Highness could do otherwise than
resort_ to those MinisterS whd, in conjunction with
the late Mr. PERctvAL, conducted the business
(-)f Goverrimit in such a Manner as to give full
sati.SfaCtiMY to every person` exempt from party
bfas; and eeeling- nothing but a 'sincere attach-
ment to the interests of the country,. For our
part, we conceive, that however vexatious the pro-
gresq. of the negociations may have been, the pub-
lie have full reason to be satisfied with' the re-
sult.

The- Nobleinan -who has resumed the
minagement of affairs by command of the PRINCE
RTGENT; is Well ITIONVII' to' have cordially united in
principle•with Mr. PERCEVAL, and will therefore
resolutely Support the general system of that la-
mcntel Statesnian ; and we may expect,
that he
evil zealou'sly endeavour to strengthen his Admi-
nist: itioti with the addition of all the able men
who feel for the awful situation of their criun--
• -
try, and• are superior to tbe petty influence
of a Party. Such men are' "'to -be found ;.
and they cannot act -in a manner more like-
ly-. 'to Alain the esteem of the people,

than by giving the support .of their talents
to the new'Administration, and thereby contri-
butil:g, to the formation of such a -vigorous Go-
vernment as may render us, respectable in the eyes
of all -Europe, justify the confideuce of our
and defeat the malice of our inveterate Enemy.
That Lord VERPOOL will exert himself to the ut-
'mOst in order to form such a Government, it is im-
possible to doubt. We, therefore, are surprised that
Mr. WoRTLEY should persevere in bringing for-
ward any motion, respecting the formation of a
Government, till he has seen what Lord LIVER-
poor. is able to effect. 'We do not pretend to
know the precise object which Mr. -WORTLEY may
have in view, but we cannot but feel some appre-

hetisions that it may produce the same uncertainty,
agitation, and alarm, which have now, for some
'weeks interrupted the business of the State, and
filled the nation with perplexity. Though the
precise object of Mr. WORTLEY has not been

avowed, there can be but little difficulty in guess-
ing its direction and tendency ; and we believe
that all well-disposed people will agree with us,
that whatever his motion may be, it will, to say the
best of it, be at least premature and unnecessary,
in the present posture Of affairs. As Mr. WORT-
LEY was a supporter of the measures of Govern-
ment, during the time of Mr. PERCEVAL, it is

with pinch regret that we see him adopt
hii present course ; for, however pure may be
his' motives, he seems to lend himself to the
views of Party, end, at all events, is running
the hazard of exposing the national counsels to
the embarrassments by which they have so long
been perplexed. We, therefore, hope, that this
Gentle pion will reflect upon the danger which
may attend lny new attempts to obstruct the for-
mation of an efficient Government, and pause till

he finds the efforts of Lord LIVERPOOL to esta-

bliAt such a Government unavailing, before he
brings forward any measures which may unsettle
the Minds of the people, and interfere with the
national. welfare.

We yesterday intimated the probability • that
Lord AlotßA; who has long been a favourite with
Opposition,, would excite their displeasure by his
noble avowal of a determination, from a sense of
-duty, to support any Administration that the
-PRINCE'REGENT might appoint, consistently with
the great p•olitical principles which he has hitherto
Imaintained: ,We find this day that we were 'not

Mistaken.. TUN titittarl !mist etpect the assaults
of Party, because tie has .sliewn himself superiorto
the influence' of Party, and scorns to be bound in
its trammels, when the interests of the nation; and
the patriotic feelingA .of his' Sovereign, are., con-
cerned. The Opposition jo.tufnals do not indeed
venture upon' the extreme rashness of impeaching
the motives of Lord 11.1oIRA's conduct. Such an
attack upon the Noble Lord, after they have
40 long held himlip to the admiration of mankind-,
would indeed. be.too grossly inconsistent; but they
insinuate, adverting to the recent negociations,
that "the actors 'in the plot have been va7
riouS, and those who • have played the most
prOminent parts have been furthest from the real,
secrets of the drama." That Lord Mona ap7
peared in a pronOzent character, is well-known,
and therefore this observation is .not very compli-
mentary to the discernment of the Noble Lord.,
_ .
But the truth is, that his- Lordship supported hip
~part with too much firmness, ability;and spirit, to e
please the Opposition. They have begun to attack
his Lordship On the score of capacity, .and as there
is a progress in all things,we expect to see them, in
a short time, make equally free with his character
on the ground of political integrity.

A Letter was received in town" yesterday.from
Liverpool, which stated, that an account had
reached that town of the Government of the. United
States having declared War against Great Britain.
The authority upon which this report rests -is not
given, and we are inclined to doubt its truth. From
what fell on Monday from LOrdCASTI.EREAGII in the
House of Commons, we see no reason to stippose that
.the Negociations between 'this Country and Ame-
rica have been broken off, and although 'we are
thoroughly persuaded of the hostile disposition of
the American Governthent, it would not, we
should think, adopt so violent a measure as to de-
clare war pending a discussion. This opinion is
not founded entirely upon an implicit confidence
in the good faith of the American Executive : the
passions of- nations,as well as of individuals, are
perhaps more frequently restrained by the dictates
Of 'prudence than by those of justice. If the power
which America possesses to injure us were com-
mensurate with her inclination; if her means of
carrying on hostilities were proportioned to her
apparent disposition to commence them, we
should consider ' war as inevitable. But we
cannot avoid thinking, that Mr. MADISON will,
before he plunges America into a war with this
country, take .into his consideration the state of
the Army, the Navy, and the Revenue, which he
is to wield against us, that he will balance the in-
juries which he may inflict against those which he
must sustain, and that he Will not suffer the
visionary prospect of the conquest of Canada to
divert his attention from the dangers of a serious
conflict with Great Britain. We may be wrong,
but we cannot avoid entertaining a suspicion that
much of the angry and menacing language which
we 'have lately received from America is
,rather
intended to produce an effect upon the discussions
going on here, respecting the Orders in Council,
than indicative of a real intention to declare War.
The hostile determination of the American Go-
vernment will, of course, be blazoned forth in
the declamations of those whose anxious regard,
whose unceasing solicitude for the rights of
America, have almost entirely deadened their--
feelings to the rights and the interests of Greatt
Britain. But we trust that neither the firmness
nor the good sense of the people of this country
are to be affected by such means. If the Orders in
Council are founded on 'strict justice, and are
essential to the vital interests - of Great Bri-
tain, we hope they will not be abandoned'
either qn account of foreign menace or`of do-
mestic Clamour. It is really lamentable 'to
see, the arts that have been used to' excite that clan
mour, and to persuade the manufacturing part of
the community, that the Orders in Council are the
cause of the commercial distress Which is now felt.
The manufacturer finds that. the demand' for the
product of his labour is ditninished, .and he is in-
stantly told that the Orders in Council are the
cause of his distress, and that the Government of
this country are determined to persist in this de-
_structive systein. One would suppose that the
absurdity of such
.a statement would be its best
refutation, because it is impossible to conceive
•
that any Adntin.istration in this country would wil-
fully persist in any system, the obvious effect of
which was to destroy the Cbmmerce, Mannfac-
.
tures,' and Revenue of this Country; such con-
duct could only lie time resulV of madness or'
of treason.., And, yet, -such is the charge
gravely preferred against the Government
by those 'who know' it to be false,. and who
know that Our present commercial embar-
rassments proceed from BIJONAPATITE'S hos-
tile Decrees, and' the power which he' unfortu-
nately possesses of enforcing them. 'We are
aware that we are only repeating our former state-

ttenti, but the peivetse irkitiAty witii 'Which at;
tempts are made to deceive end misle td the Pub-
lie.. upon this Subject', renders it necessary that
weshOuld frequentlyrevert to it.

We• feel great pleasure in stating, that one of
the vacant blue ribands has' been conferred on
LOrd MoIRA. -

Upon theiMportant subject of Ministerial ar-
rangements we have .nothing decisive to -Comma-.
nicate to our Readers. We can assure them, how-
ever, that we are fully warranted in saying th at Lord
LIVERPOOL is indefatigable in his endeavours to
fulfil the wishes of the PRINCE •REGENT, and we
feel confident that the essential. points of those
arrangeinents will be settled in the course of this
day.

A report was this morning circulated of a very
severe skirmish having taken place between the
Russians and the French, but we could not, upon
inquiry, trace it to. any authentic source. As the
armies of France and Russia- approach each
other, we must expect to hear a variety of
rumours, but, the state of suspense in which we
nos are cannot last long, The dispute must ei-
ther be terminated by a treaty, or lead to the
immediate commencement of hostilities.

We are extremely sorry to state, that a very de-
structive fire • broke out, in Plymouth Dock-yard,
on *Monday. We received the following letter
upon • the subject, this morning, from our Ply-
mouth correspondent':---;,

" PLYMOUTH, JuNi B.—This morning, soon
after three o'clock, a fire broke out in the roof of
the East Laying House, in his-Majesty's Dock-
yard at this port, and apparently, to those who
first disovered it, burst forth in several places at,
the same time. An- alarm was instantly given by
the firing of the sentinels on 'duty in the Yard,
and on board the 'Salvador del l'pfundo guard-ship,
in Hamoaze, when every assistance was rendered
as early and promptly as possible ; but before, any
effectual force could be brought to operate, the
flames had made considerable progress, and burnt
with incredible fury ; and, notwithstanding the
good supply of water and the exertions used at
the engines, the fire was not subdued until 7 o'clock,
this morning. Fortunately; there were scarcely any
stores yin the building, but the machinery therein
has been mostly destroyed or materially injured;
the building is upwards of 1,40'3 feet in length,
and -the fire - having broke out about the centre,
if was found necessary, in order to preserve
any part of it, to cut off, as much as possible, at
each extremity, whereby about
.400 feet 'of' the.
premises were saved. We have not hcard that
any lives were lost.on-this occasion, though some
of the persons adively employed received injury-,
one cf Whom, a sailor, had the fingers of one
hand entirely cut off. The cause of this catas-
trophe is not stated, but it is sincerely hoped to
have been merely accidental. The damage done
is estimated at 'from 20 to 30,0001."

lire learn with great regret, that a fever has

broice.out in Cai•thagera, which is as contagious
in its nature, and as destructive in its effects,/ as
that which prevailed last year in Murcia. The
number of persons who have already fallen vic-
tims to it is, we understand, very considerable.

Yesterday the Earl of MoiRA and Mr. CAN-
NING had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at
Carlton-house.

Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL commenced
business as First Lord of the Treasury. The offi-
cers and persons appointed to attend that Minister
of State, began their attendance on the Noble
Earl.

•
The Marquis of HtrNrLy gave a grand dihner
yesterday evening to a select party at Richmond
House, Whitehall.

THE THE the Plough was repre-
sented last night at the Haymarket Theatre, and
well received.--Mr. KENNET, one of the new im-
portations, was the _Rimer Asyield, and he sup`-
ported the part with a rustic humour and spirit,
as well as with a strong expression- of parental
feeling. Mr. KENT was the Rob' Handy. This
actor has -a variety, .and: good sense that render
him a very useful acquisition to this Theatre.-7-
There was a respectable' audience.
