AMERICA.

On an examination of the voluminous mass of Pa.
pas received from America, we observe the war tone
still continues, and apparent warlike measures are sir.
suing with a mail-hie pace. The communications a
our Minister, Mr. FOSTER, to Mr. MeNROP,, the Au.
rican Secretary of State, breathes some degree of feel.
ing, and the coolness with which the American Seem
tart' has replied, certainly does not indicate any thing
like a pacific policy ; indeed, were we to make up ow
minds, or form an opinion from the tenour and
pie:ion of the papers received, we should not hazard
even a conjecture as to the result of the present two.
elation, but when we know that the present Adnu.
nistration of America have in view more objects tk.s:,
onc, we are led to pause and reflect upon their too.
duct, and look with a suspicious eye upon every thi:
which emanates from each individual branch of its
Government.

However warlike the Ger.tlemen in (Tice wiilt to
appear, there Are those, both here and in America,
who can sift their measures through all the intricate
mancctivrcs of arch inuiguers and subtle politicians.
While the Government are holding this try
tone, and evidencing a determination to pursue aka.
sures ,g which aflame a manly attitude," we End the
Bill for arming the merch:uttmeu negatirdokt Bbl
for building additional (hips of war, mirky/

The Volunteer Bill undergoing a protracted
cussion, which amounts to a negative, and the Bill fce
a partial repeal of
.the Non-importation Act, off,/
to lie on the table fourteen days, withcut being rolled op.,
acted upon in any shape.

It is well known that Mr. MADISON'S Adlrlilligra.
tion of the Government has not accorded with the
views of many of his partisans, and his political ad.
herents seem now disposed to leave him in the phraut
of passion, and seek for a Candidate in whom they
can pl.sce implicit trust in their ulterior views, dm
fore it is not to be wondered, that the last accounts
from Washington from the most intelligent men, both
in and out of Congress, observe that, mutual intro,
eakuty,and intrigue, indecision, clamour, and cog:*
rem to be the order of Me day.
The Federalists are silent, and leave the others is
quarrel it out ; in short, the dissensions and diviets
of the majority are such, that no calculation daily
kind can be made. •

The report of Mr. GAILATIWo Secretary cite
Treasury, has paralyzed the minions of party, ud
the c nsequence of attempting to endeavour to to.

the present Administration : it has indeed, as was
observed on Friday, electrified Congress, beck.

SECOND EDITION.

A chaise and four arrived at Lord Lwantoot's
06ce this morning, with Mr. DOUGLAS, charged with
doPatches from Lord BENTINCE, at Sicily, to Lord
Ireatenot. These dispatches announce that the
Ring of SICILY has abdicated the throne in favour of
t.e Hereditary Prince, whom he has appointed Vicar-
tkneral ; and that Lord W. BENTINCK has been ap-
Peted Captain-General of the Sicilian Army, and
Celeral MACFARLANE second in command. The
itlect Barons have been recalled, 'and the odious one
Percent. tar repealed.
The AoroN sloop has brought accounts of a mu.

at that Island, on the 23d of December. They
eued the Lieutenant-Governor, and were proceeding
430 to seize the Governor, which was prevented by
iBt*i troops which remaiird faithful. Six of the mu-
t".tr were instantly tried and executed, and tran-
quility restored.
