patriots among our ltepreseutativea, will ai plainly
declare the impropriety of trusting a pacification,
comprehending such a variety of important consi-
derations, as to the condition in whicii our powerful
enemy shall be left, with the same heists and unpo-
pular Ministers.

Americari affairs, like all others of tar rash and
feeble Government, as at present conducted, afford
us no very flattering or well-founded expectations.-,-
We • have no doubt, but in this attempt upon that
remote quarter of the world, we shall, in the long
run, be disappointed. The greatest satisfaction we
can draw from the present position of the war, is the
probability of its termination At no great distance of
time. The intelligence from the Urilted States, as
given- in 'this der* Sityrzystaw, tends •to 'mummer; ,
that hope; and if the hems Reava were but.
1 half as well convinced as we are ourselves, of
the impolicy of this war, and of the probable,
nay, almost' certain benefits we should, as well
as the Americans, derive from speedily end.
Lug it, he would immediately call into his Councils
such men as would pot meet with a tenth part
of the diffiulty the present would, in arranging the
turns of pacification. From ais pleasing, though
perhaps illusory idea, the mind of the Reader who
peruses the article from the American Paper, speak-
ing of the going out of the two United States fri-
gates, under Commodore RODGERS, to engage the
two British ships of the same class, must be agonised,
from the consequence which may be presumed to
-follow so determined, so deadly a purpose, or chal-
lenge. One very alarming feature, in the counte-
nance of American hostility, is the pains that are
taken by the enemy to obtain compleat posasession
of the lakes; with the view of supplying themselves
with every thing they may want for carrying on the
Canadian war, and rendering our own supplies the
more hazardous and expensive. They are, it seems,
sending great numbers of chosen sailors from the crews
of their late merchantmen, now out of employ, to man
their numerous flotilla on the lakes. Our next ad-
vices from the seat of war may inform us of what Sir
J. YEO has been able to do in frustration of this de-
sign. The Canadians (originally French) have not
manifested that zeal in the hitherto contest which was
expected from them.

Besides the grand Ballet Carlton House, on Wed-

A Heligoland Mail arrived on Saturday. The only
article of intelligence it brings from Hamburgh, is a

I equally atrocious, though of a less remarkable
kind, that have occurred within the last two years,
show that the horror of imbruing the hands in hu-
man blood has diminished, and we fear is rapidly
diminishing. To what cause is this new and sane
guinary species of depravity to be imputed ? is a
question well deserving the attention of the people
of this country, as well as of its Government and
Legislature. Is all this the effect of accident, over
which we have no controul, and to which
no remedy can be applied ? or, is it to be imputed
to the nation having been so long familiarize d to

frequent incentives held out in the public papers to
assassinate an enemy, had no influence in operate
