INTERESTING PAMPHLET.

We have been favoured with the loan Of a vaIpa-
pie Engih production entitled An Inquiry in,o the
ita'e OIL tne Nation, at the commencement of tina
Preent administration" Its author rs avowedly Inf
t'e to the policy OF the late Brh n,inGer particu-
ary with regard to the continental ees-IJner
this head he proceeds, in copiou, and perlpcno,,
manner, to trace back its caufe the unfortuna,e
failure OF the " third Coalition" The facts and az
guments which he produces, evince that he has had
ample accefs to the hghe fources of po,icl ;pIor-
nation and that he has viewed, with clear aud
teaoy eye the operating eaufes of the Prefent Gala
nitous fltuation of all Europe
So far back 1908, the courts of Vienna and p.-
tertburg, had yielded the influence of Br;,i, re-
presentations, and determined ON hoility to France
but as the author indignantly remarks, aby con-
iumation OF headlong Impotence, the execution of
the enterprise was attempted before time was given
to obtain dehnitive anfwer from PruiEia, whether
favourable or adverfe to the views of the league
What lhall we fay, then, if it appears that far fo
waiting until Pruiia had become favorably dirpofed,
the allies did not even fufpend their rneafures until
Inc had given poitlve anfwer that far from, watt
ing to afcertain whether Prnia meant to ;oin ,be,,
or remain neutral, they Jueed into the war. before
they knew whether ihe remain neutral, or TO;
take part with France :" "
But that part of the prefent work which mon in.
eres this country is that which treats of the rea-
tions OF England with the few powers which have
Preierved aFri9 neutrality, particularly with the u
nited States" The ebief" adds the writer inSeeS
the only Comfortable noton effbJ delc,i6tios" The
doctrine of the Brth in relation to neutral trade !,
here dhcuiled not 70 much on the point of propre-
~ and right, as to its polcy--As mean to Law
before our readers the whole Of the article on tb,
iubjea, we hal at prefent forbear making any ex-
tracts from IT, The pamphlet treats Of the righr
ahumed by the Brtiih of learchng all American. veT-
els at fea, and impreiling the Briti eamen found in
them his right, he contends does not belong to-.
nor can il with jutce be exercifcd by the ration.
Do we mean them" excIaims he, to deny TO our

The general contents ofthis pamphlet cannot fail
OF iDtereiting the American reader From the drift
OF It's reafoning we are led TO make this Jingle but
to important inference, that being the produ tfon
Of pen evidently in the fervee Of the prefent Engl
Cabinet the public will be enabled, by perufal Of
its contents, to Judge Of the views and dfpoftion Of
that miptry towards this country; and we are hap
