to have the spirit to defend them. It is to be re-
gretted that there is a large class of people in this
country, who entertain a violent and unjustifiable
`prejudice against the United States. Whether it
arises from the reflection,that they were once subjects
of the same Government, and revolted against it,
or from the.feelings a war of some duration has
given birth to, or from other causes, is immaterial.
These feelings ought not to be cherished, because
they not only indispose the mind for a fair and unbi-
assed opinion of the measures of their Government,
but give a confidence to the present Ministry to con-
tinue their system, which eley would otherwise im-
mediately abandon. If the United States had been
really hostile to this country, they have never been
without pretences to go to war. But their policy is
neutral and pacific, and to this policy have they
sacrificed, in a considerable degree, their repu-
tation abroad. But such has been the general
censure of this temporising policy both at home and
abroad, that they now appear ready and willing to
encounter any hazard for the support of national
rights and national honour. Let the Editor of the
Courier, and those of the other infamous Admini-
stration Papers, now learn to their shame, the false-
hood of their representations, when they de-
clared, that there would be internal divisions
in the United States in the event of a war.—
The opposition, consisting of the Federal party,
which has unceasingly advocated an honourable set-
tlement with this country, have supported each of
the war measures which have been introduced. There
nas ably a minority of fifteen out of one hundred and
forty-five, the number of House of Representatives
upon the average, against these decisive Resolutions.
This unanimity is not only greater than has been
known upon any leading and important question,
but greater ttan it was in the war which terminated
in their independence.

An American frigate has arrived off the Isle of
Wight, with dispatches of great importance. They
are said to convey the ultimatum of the American
Government.

NXECUTION.—The six unfortunate men, who were
lately left for execution by the Prince Regent, suf-
fered the punishment, allotted to them by an inexora-
ble law, early this morning in front of Newgate.—
Five of them were young men in the prime
of life, and they all behaved in a manner
which became their unhappy fate. The crowd of
spectators was immense, and equal in number to
what attended the execution of Haggerty and another
on which occasion, our readers will recollect, many
persons were killed. In the present instance, no ac-
cident happened, and a general feeling of sympathy
and regret, fur the unfortunate victims, seemed to
pervade all ranks.
We are sorry to learn, that the Vigilant, destined
to this country from the River Plate, and having on
hoard between 150 and 200,000 dollars, and '22,000
hides, has been lost on what is called the English
Bank near the mouth of that river.

A most daring mode of attaining goods under
false pretences was practised a few days since. A
green painted cart stopped at the house of Mr.
Myers, hop-merchant, Tooley-street, Borough.—
The man knocked, and inquired of the lad, who
opened the door, whether it was No. 3 ?—Being an-
swered in the affirmative, the man-said he came for
a piano-forte, and hoped it was ready for him to
take to Mr. Dale's, Cornhill. Mr. Myers wag
gone out only a few minutes, and the lad judging
every thing was correct, offered his services to assist
in conveying the instrument down stairs, which
offer was accepted, and the man actually obtained
complete possession of the piano-forte, stand, eke.
without molestation. About ten minutes after the cart
drove- away, Mr. Myers returned, and missing the in-
strument, inquired of the lad what had become of it ?
He related the circumstance, when information was
given of the fraud, but all, inquiry at the music-shops
in the metropolis had been hitherto ineffectual to de-
tect the offender.

The last accounts from Botany Bay state, that
the Governor and Council had commenced the
cultivation of an immense forest, nearly seventy
miles in length, by allotting portions of it to the
several convicts, whose time of sentence had expired ;
that a considerable space had already come under
cultivation, but that the object of this laudable meltl
sure was likely to be defeated, in a great measure,
by the occupiers not being compelled to stub the
roots of the trees that they cut down; in defect of
which, not half the land could be effectually tilled,
thus only cleared of trees.

Onr private accounts from Windsor state, that
his MAJcsrY hada very serious change for the worse
during Monday night, and the attendance of the
whole of the Physicians was immediately required.
A dispatch was sent to the PRINCE RESENT, and an-
other to the Loan Ciwicer.i.oa, on which account
his Lordship did not sit yesterday in the Court of
Chancery. But Ne understand from accounts re-
ceived last night that his MAJESTY'S disorder had not
increased.

ward.
