Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial-
dace, from the GOYeruore of the West India golouiev.

lANGLO-SAXONISM.
Some of our contemporaries have lately retorted
upon England the language a portion of her press has
I applied to us, and with much recriminatory ability.
From the facts they have adduced, we are compelled
to believe that England in her conduct towards other
countries had been at times most culpable, and con-
sequently much deserving of reprehension. We have
i no doubt that an impartial reader of the diatribes per-
petrated by the press on either side, in depreciation of
the national character of either country, would award
to the strictures on our side of the water superiority
of invective, greater logical acumen, and, what is of
more consequence, stronger truth.
But cui bow ' Of what merit or use is the con-
troversy? If we pile Pelion upon Ossa, whole moun-
tains of damnatory phrases upon England and Eng-
lish institutions, of what practical advantage is it to
us? And why should our national vanity be thereby
gratified? English enormities in the Indian seas are
no palliation of our national crimes ; nor English
cruelties towards the Pagan nations of Hindostan an
excuse for our invasion of a Christian ally. Rather
than strengthen ourselves in the pursuit of unholy
acquisitions by the miserable contemplation of ano-
ther nation's turpitude, it would be much better to
consider and repair the wrong we have done, and
thus punish our envious or malignant assailants by the
contrast we afford to the conduct of their own

country.
There is another consideration which should induce
forbearance upon our part. From no source that we
are bound to respect are launched these missiles of
abuse and defamation ; they proceed from the columns
of venal presses, are the offspring of anonymous
authority, and deserve no other treatment than con-
temptuous or compassionate silence. We degrade
our own nation, not England, by retaliatory language.
A proud people does not condescend to notice the
assaults of the envious and disappointed; they are
happy in their self•respect, not from the reflection of
foreign opinion; it is only the vain, who, con-
scious of no real worth, are seeking everywhere
abroad the materiel of self-esteem they cannot
find at home; whose cuticle is so delicately
thin as to feel from the puncture of a gad fly the
pangs by which a giant dies ! Besides, an Ameri-
can, loving his country, cannot but blush with shame
when he calls to recollection the language of the
English Parliament toward us, as compared with that
of an American Congress toward England. A Mem-
ber of the House of Lords or the House of Commons,
when he speaks of this or any other foreign country,
remembers he is a gentleman, and respects himself ;
on the other side, language was applied to England
and Englishmen, during the pending of the Oregon
question, in Congress, in the whole presence of tne
nation, most foully disgraceful to the persons who
used it, and the country whose representatives the
speakers where; language not elsewhere to be met
with than perhaps in the purlieus of St. Giles's, or in
those British presses whose trade is defamation, and
whose character is infamy.
If degenerate Englishmen of modern times refuse
to accord to our institutions the praise they deserve
—if they deny to the gallant officers of our two ser-
vices distinguished skill and conduct—to our soldiers.
unparalleled bravery and indomitable perseverance--
what matters it? The facts are on history's page:
are felt by the world ; and, in spite of all detraction.
in spite of all the opposition of malevolence, wil
characterise the age in which we live, and serve a-
beacons and landmarks to all that are to come.

IVe ask not Englishmen of modern days—" higt
though their title. proud their name"—for approba-
tion of our deeds of daring! We ask them not fog
acknowledgment of kindred blood with us— we g'
back to the sources from which we and they boti
s.,rung—we remount to our equal origin. We }m-
a as pure Ang/o-Saxon blood as they ; nay, in th•
_filtration of the last two centuries, may have pre
served purer the Anglo-Saxon lineage. We branched
off, it is true, from the parent trunk; but still art
sapling, transplanted to more favouring soil and I:
kinder meridian.

Our fathers, too, "came over with William the
Conqueror," or fought the good fight at Hastings
under their native Saxon Princes; our Lames are in-
scribed in Doomsday Book, on the Roll of Battle
Abbey, and in the Charter at Runnymede. We
shared, through our ancestry, in the glorious fields
of Cressy, of Poictiers, and of Agincourt; rallied
round the Maiden Queen, the high and haughty
Elizabeth, when, with all the old English blood of
' Tudor in her veins, she met her assembled armies at
Tilbury, to lead them against the approaching Ar-
mada, and told them that she would die at their head
before she would stiffer the desecration of her soil by
hostile foot, for she held it " foul scorn that Parma or
Spain, or any other Prince of Europe, should dare
set their feet on her territories !" In all the rich
harvest of these glories, we, descendants of those rich
Englishmen, equally share.
Our fathers stood by Hampden when he suffered
is'abfiZoontuiaely; goad imprisonment, rather than pay
the ,illegal extortion of ship money ; followed the
God given Cromwell to the field, when he took up
sanctified arms against a faithless and a perjured
king, and fought and triumphed with him at Mar-
stun Moor, Naseby, and Worcester, driving out
tyranny and establishing liberty.
We have equal heritage in the fame of Chaucer.
of Spenser, of Shakspere, and of Milton ! 'They
were our countrymen, and wrote in our language—
spoke our thoughts.
Leaving England, to people another continent, we
brought with us the same honsehold gods, the same
institutions, and the same love. of liberty that she
worshipped. and defended. We have adhered to
them, and flourished under their saving guidance.
A common ancestry, we might have had a common
destiny, but for the fratricidal conduct of the Eng-
lishmen who had remained at home to those wh.
crossed the sea. Had England been true to herself,
we might still have been of one Government.
It is better, undoubtedly, as it is. As allies, we
can be of more assistance to each other than if we had
remained p ;laically united.
For still there can he an union in partition ; we
have the same interests and the same hopes. N.
blow fills on England that is not felt here ; her pros-
perity is our prosperity; her calamities are out
calamities; and she feels equally our good or our evi!
fortune.

Mutual forbearance, toleration on either part of
some national peculiarities, missions of goodwill,
reciprocal chirity— these among other acts of en-
lightened policy, will be sure to cement the
countries as closely and inseparably together in inter-
national alliance, as they are now in language and
blood. And notwithstanding the venomous abuse of
defeated factions, or the infLimmatory appeals tv
popular sentiment, on either side, there is no doubt
.that the hearts of the two countries beat to each
other. " Blood is thicker than water ;" and Anulo-
Saxons on either side of the ocean can but think of
each other with frrternal fe-lingo, who, unexcited bL4
passions, which, however violent, roust needs be tern.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS. Aua. 3.--His Majesty it appears will
return on Thursday next.
L'lndependance says that the Ministerial crisis is near
its termination. If we are well informed, M. R‘Ngier has
fixed Saturday as the day on which he will have cum
pleted the combination which he proposes to submit to
his Majesty.
L'Emancipation is more minute, and contains the fol,
lowing lines:—" The Ministerial negotiations have
almost reached their denouement. The bellowing is th 4
point at which they stand to-day:—The Interior, M.
Rogier; Finance, M. Veydtt; War, M. Chazal ; Foreign
Affairs, M. De Hoffzchmidt ; Public Works, M. Irere
Orban. Justice is still pending between M. Lebran and
M. de Haussey. Personal affairs, and those entirely of a
pecuniary nature, have till now hindered M. de Haussey
from coming to a definite resolution. Whatever that
resolution may be, it is clear that all hesitation must
cease before Thursday next, when the King returns,
and M. Rogier will submit the complete list to his
Soveteign.
