British prints, our readers will perceive
much ridiculous vapourirg on the course
pursued by us on the outrages offered by
the British ships some time since at New

in the nation, or of The opinions of the Bri-
.ish cabinet. On the contrary, from in
formation of laie dase received from En-
giaGd, there is he best reason 20 believe
that the conduct of Whilby will b. con,
demped, and decisive measures taken to
prevent recurrence OF s';pl!ar outrages.
