AMERICAN NAVY.,

Thetuccessof ilicAtil,liCallS in a fewcontestS with

our seamen, owing in a great superiority 'of force
on their pail Seems to have roused their national
pride into a delusive expectation of being able to
cope with its on all otacalions, and to Obtain a
nav,il ascendancy Which may render us insigoi-
ficant in comparison. . The Quarterly Review,
in our opinion, is the most valuable
literary and political t=rop of uor Coustitution
in Chtfrch and State that we ever possessed; hat
entered into this subject with its usual ability and
knowledge, in its examination of Bettereo's work
on " 'kite Resources of the United States of
America, &c. &c. &r." end affords such sti,istae.
tory reasons to check the tanity of America, and
to cheer the desponding in this Country, that we
shall avail ourselves at present of the following
observations of the loyal, patriotic; intelligeht
and judicious Review in question
America, above every other Country, is inte—
rested in maintaining the peace of the world She
has indeed prospered by the troubles of Europe,
but it was only su long as she kept herself free
front hostilities with all parties ; and as far as site
has received any check, it has been owing to her
having forsaken the course which Washington,
the 'greatest character she has produced, both pre-
scribed and followed. It is especially her intereit
to keep on friendly terms with this country, if
she wishet to preserve and extend her commerce,
and to find a Certain market for her domestic pro-
duce. From the return made to Congress for the
year ending 30th September, 1818, it appears that
the total value of her exports amounted to
73.854,437 dollars, of which great Britain alone
took 44,425,553, being nearly two-thirds of the
whole, and more than four times the value of the
second largest amount, or 10,666789 dollars,
taken from them by France. On the other hand,
it is the interest of this country, and we may
safely add the wish, to preserve peace with Ame-
rica. it is her interest, became that gteat Con-
tinent bids fair to become the best mart for her
manufactures ; and she cannot possibly harbour
a thought to disturb the general peace, so neces-
sary for all Europe, and more especially perhaps
for herself. It is with regret, therefore that we
find Mr. Busted predicting a naval contest in
terms altogether calculated to stimulate and hasten
the struggle which be foresees. It is true, as he
says, two suns cannot keep their stations in one
sphere ;' hut that of his adopted country m, n has
not yet climbed this envied height ; and, to our
homely conception, the period is far beyond nt,rtal
ken which shall witness the portentous opposition
of the two luminaries,' and the decline of that
whose beneficent beams have so long cheered and
invigorated the. world. It is the wildest of all
possible infatuations to suppose, that the partial
success of a few vessels can have the least bearing
on the great question of naval superiority.' The
capture of a sloop, a frigate, or even a 1140043 e
line, determines nothing beyond its own faie:
the preponderance of naval power must always
depend on the equipment and appointment of
fleets of large ships. ‘Vith the seamen of a ruined
commercial marine thrown wholly out of employ,
it would indeed have been surprising if five fri-
gates could not be manned with picked men,
many of whom were prime British seamen, and,
not a few, deserters from the nritish Navy, who
either fought with that desperation which the
halter round their necks inspired, or, as in the
case of the frigate captured near Valparaiso,
escaped from the expected justice of their country
in the moment of detest. But when England was
carrying on the commerce of the world, which
with her fisheries and the coasting trade created a
,demand for 200,000 seamen ; when ':her naval
store-ships and transports averaged the enormous
amount of 250,000 tons, and required 15,000
seamen to navigate them ; when her regular navy
demanded 145,000 men, it must and did necessa-

Illy follow, that the crews the ships of war.
more especially those lust fi tell out, were com-
posed of all manner of men—foreigners, lands-
men, and boys. It is by no means improbable
also that, from the nature of the long war in
which we had been engaged, a relaxation of strict,
discipline in the exercise of - the guns might have
taken place. The decisive battle of Trafalgar had
lett no enemy to contend with on the sea ; and
this event, added to the subsequent blockading sys-
tem, which put an end to the French navy, was not
calculated to improve the tactics of our own.
" But there was yet another cause for that par•
tial success which has turned the brain of every
American. Their frigates were, in every in.
stance, superior to those of their opponents in
size, in weight of metal, and in the number of
their crew. A frigate is but a vague term, and
represses no definite idea of a s!tip's actual force ;
that of softie of the American frigates was nearly
equal to our o!d screwy-fours. We are told ire
the North American Review,' that a Mr.
Corny, one of the best painters of ships alive,'
has made use of a stratagem to flatter his coun-
trymen, in representing the English frigate,which
was cotutnanded by Commodore Downie, of dis.
proportionate size. There seems to have been

little occasion for this. Let them not suppose,
kowever, that even with the twelve sail of the
line, and twenty-four frigates, which America al-
ready enjoys 6 in visions beatific,' she will suc-
ceed, as Mi. Bristed prognosticates, in wresting
train England the empire of the sea :' nor enter-
tain the erroneous notion that even such a qua-
Oron is to he manned with the same facility, ••••
with seamen of the same quality, as five or six
trig,ates ; or that, even if so manned, it can chose

die objects of attHck, and give or avoid battle as
it may suit her purpose. Let them also recollect
that one decisive victory puts an end to the dreatrs
of universal empire : above all, it may be of im-
portance to them to remember that England never
hml so large a eect, in such excellent condition,
zs at this time, ready for sea at,a moment's warti.

THEATRICAL DISPUTE.

NORMAN V. GLOSSOP.

This was an action against the Proprietor of
the Royal Cobonig Theatre, for breech of an
agreement. The plaintiff was Mr. Norman, the
Pantaloon of Covent-Garden —Early last sum-
mer he was engaged at the Cohourg as stage-
manage r-, and principal character in set ions bur-
lettas, at a salary of 5/. a week ; this not be-
ing intended, however, to interfere with his en-
ga,4ement at Covent-Garden at the satne [hoe.—
He was also to have a benefit on the usual tetras,
bon he in return Was to get tip Hai lequinades oc-
casionally, to supply models, and give directions
to the stage machinists. The Theatre opened on
Whit-Monday, with a piecefront the pen of Bar.
ryrn.ore, cal ed, Mal by which was an-
nounced for representation, together with a Pan-
tomime from Mr.'Norman's pen. The plaintiff
was ready to play his part, but some alteration
having bee►► made in the arrangement of the
pieces, a person of the name' of Usher was substi-
tined for him, which occasioned a great uproar in
the Flotte, and he was obliged to pt-esent
on the Stage to allay it. He was soon afterwards
given to understand thathis services, as Manager,
were &simmed with, though unconscious of
ing cher' any offence, and though he had ayseed
for the season, he received only one weekl.o sa-
lary. lie now Sued for 22 weeks, at 61.fa'evet:k,
compensation for the lo.s of ids benefit, Which

pences 'could not be melt 'More than 401.
Mr. Grimaldi, the well known Clown, said the
Cobourg could hold 3001. a night, and that the
expeirces.were aboht 501.

self•up against the Will oi the Proprietors, aild'had-
he'en the cause of-the tumult at the Theatre on'the
first night by circulating handbills. An eudea-
'vorir was made to shirw That the .plaintiff had
neglected the concerns of that house for his en-
gagement at Covent-Garden, and that he was the:
first 'himself to break the contract. • •
Mr. 'Robert Fait brother, the 'Prompter at the
