FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, ISI2-.

A Debate of considerable length took place last
night, in the House of Commons,. tip-on Mr. WIIIT
BREAn's motion' for the Correspondence between
the Briti,h and American Ministers, from the ist of
January, 19 to, to the present time. In support-of
his motion, Mr. WIifTBREAD repeated the same ar-
guments which-Ile has so often urged "b!fiire.----He
justifird the condua' of the Ametivn Government,
in every pm-tient:lr, and, of 'course: censured the
Admini,tration of this country. He d: nied that the
American Government had manifested any parti,ility
towards France ; and, in a word, threw the whole
blame of the present differences upon Great Britain.
The number of Gentlemen, however, who agreed
p opinion with Mr. WnrrnaEAD, appeared last
night, upon a division, to be twenty-three ; and we
really believe, that he would not 'find a moch greater

number, out of doors, who would concur with him
upon this subject. Flom ihe time when the Atne-

jean Ministers were called upon ro pay' beaucoup

d'argent for permi.-ssion merely to obtain an audience
in Paris, to the present hour, the .Americans have
been treated, by all the French Governments, whe-
ther called Directors, Consuls, or Emperor, with the
most undisguised injustice, and the most studied
insult ; and yet America has borne these insults and
outrages, with the most lamb-like meekness. So
far from threatening war, she scarcely even ven-
tured to murmur out her complaints, in the gentlest
tone. How the. American Government has acted to-
wards
-Great Bri:ain is equally notorious : and yet Mr.
WrlrrnaEAD thinks that it has manifested the ut-
most impartiality to both the Belligerents ! We hate
not room, nor indeed if .we had, would it be necessary
to enter into any arguMents or to detail fails upon
such a subject. We should here close our observi-
tions,,if we were not desirous of calling the atten-
tion of our Readers to an expression in the Chan-
cellor -_of the Exchequer's Speech, which we
are sure will be read with the greatest plea-
sure throughout the country. He said in an-
swer to some allusions made on the other side
of the House to a probable change of Ministry,
":that what golden dr,atirs these Gentleman had. in
their imagination he could not conceive, but as far
as helas' acqtrainted with them, he did- not think
their consolatory prospe6ls 'would open upon them
quite so pleasant as they expeacd."

It was this morning very strongly reported in the
City, that Sweden had declared war against France,
consequence :of the seizure of Stralsund by the
latter. We have made every possible inviry upon
the subject, but we have not been able to trace the
rumour to any authentic source.
