ExfraG from tie 1Hsrora Of The 1879 Dec. rela-
tVe TO our negotiations soiib England.
What was the re!ult when the atef advices
came away, we have certainly heard-we have
been in poieflion of fome time--we hinted as
much beforehand we will Rate the facts now
we fhall fate them now, becaufe we mean to
point out to public attention, the conduct and
declarations of emfaries paid by England, aud
reliding here for the exprefs purpofe of inhu-
encing the people of the United States aeana
their government and in favor Of England.
Our readers may rely on the following infor-
nation As authenticate is not official, nor de
rived from any official fcource hy Us, but we
can undertake to vouch for it, that in fubnance
it is the real truth.
Our differences with England, were very am
ply diaufied by Mr.. Munroc, and the BATS oi
the principles upon which cur government in
fitted were laid before that government, before
MIR. Fox came into the Administration and
Mr.. Msnroe finding the meaGurrs procrsaina-
ted under official pyeiextJ refolyed TO return
home.
Our government might perhaps, have heen
without minter in England, had not the death
of Mr.. Pitt, and the elevation of Fox TO the CD
binet, unfolded new hopes; Mr.. Mu:'roe then
determined to remain, and he renewed in iu-
table manner, his former representations, and
in the NOT Deceive aud dignifrd tone.
The meafures taken on this fide Of the Allan
rio, were neceiiarily founded on the AIS II tie
lgoVernmenf Of England, as tbcy nbfeHte4 and
acre drtLared to be, by the conduct Of her MI
nlfters there, her fiips on the bigb icqJ and her
emiflarieS here; but it was determined to ex-
hauff the cup of forbearance, and TO demon
ftrate to the world, that it was judice alone we
faught---an additional minAer with frefi; COM
plaints, and catalogue of new injuries and
aggreliionE, were joined in ihe milton with Mr..
mnnroe-the liberaIity Of Mr., Fox-ard the in
teligence of the commercial body were called

reinforced by 4 law, which being only an midi
cation of what might he contemplated. acted
much more effectively than fleet Of 90 fail Of
the line, or than a battle of Trafalgar, or Of
'3enH-The rcfult has been
That our differences with Grea, Britain were
not only admitted to be iuitiGable caufe OF
complaint, but fuch as required redrefs.
Nay even the negotiations go not only TO the
bra9iee of that government under their CON
frueton of the law Of nations, but TO the prin-
eipie ALTO.
The differences that have arifen ia any fage
of the negotiation, arc, unleis on one paint, Oh
a fecondary and comparatively in comeqnent
character.
The great point, and the only important point
unfettlrd, was the quefton JotV H0N TIE aeafva
flag Profed PeyjonS.
The principe contended for by Mr.. Munrot
from the beginning, aud by both the American
minifters at the at advices, was involved in the

a right TO expect.
