in the present contest, and viewed in this light,
there is too much -reason to suppose' that the destruc-
tion of all the public buildings at. Washington
excite resentment, and lead to hostile exertions,
ther than intimidate into peace,. ~This, however,
present, can only be, matter of conjecture, and .
must wait for further information as to the state of
the public Mind in the United States, before the
quiry can be satisfactorily solved. if the present
a mere government war, this humiliation of aril
Government may lead to a pacific issue: if it.im
war of which the people curdially approve, the
tack upon Washington, will produce a result
different from that which is to be devoutly wished.

There are few of our 'readers who will form their
own comments on the capture and destruction of the
Seat of Government of the Ceitcd States of Ame-
rica ; and to their own comments we shall, there.
fore, in this particular occasion, entirely, Jeave them.
We love the true glory, the true honour of mit

We will content Ourselves with asking the mast ear-

et Washington ? If the people of the United States
retain any •portion of that spirit with which they
successfully contended jir their indePendeursv the
effects of those dames Allitet easily be extinguished.
