NEW Yogi, QC?. 18.—From the moment
the anointment of Mr. Jackson to succeed Mr.
Erskine was known in this country, the democra.
fie Papers have teehted with the most scurrilous
abase of that Minister' and of the nation he repre.
s:nts. Before his itrrical, every effort was made
to prejudice the Pr:mitirvitth refuse to acknowledge
kir as a Poreign Minima ; and even now, not.
witktawdeng thn litieelltive has resisted their ef.
furls, and•receirrd Me. Jackson with customary
cisjity, yet the same system of slander is continued
in operation the same strewn of calumny is
poured forth; I. the tiisgr ice of our national cha.
racier, aml the regret and disgust of all decent
men in the'coinmunity.

IVhat object can the democratic Editors have
t,) mince them to proceed in this scurrilous ca.
mor ? 14 it to disgust and irritate the accredited
llinister andllse Government that sent him ? Is
it to confuse and distract our own Adininistra.
tints? Is it to thr aw obstructions in the nay to
an amicable and honourable adjustment of diffi-
culties, and thus involve our country in a ruinous
and exterminatiog war ? Whatever may be their
object, their conduct, at a moment like the pre.
sent, thserves and will receive the. indignation of
the public.
Ocr. 43.... A letter from London, received at
Rotten, by thes•patketi auesitions that a gentleman
had arrived there Sun Rotterdam, who saw Mr.
Armstrong at that place on the IStli August.
He was informed by the Minister, that after the
defeat at Aspen), h..: was called upon by a mein.
her of the Bureau, n Ito said the Emperor was
ilisposed to be in amity tvi•it us ; and after sonic
further cunferetice, articles were actually agreed
en as the basis of a treaty, which were sent a to
the Emperor ; hut in the meantime, the victory
of Wagram chauged his disposition, and notice
ve.is .Ant to Paris that nn further negotiation should
take place, until t:te United States declared war
against England. Mr. Armstrong said lie rhould
nut attempt any thing further ; but expected is
rcturn to Paris, and embark for America, with
leis family.
Reports :runs Washington Concur in stating,
that the Executive are in close and constant dis.
:assion with Mr. Jackson ; and the impression is
.erally in favour of these discussions terminating
► •bly. A NW days will perhaps shed light
this highly interesting subject.
