PHILADELPHIA, August Il.

We extract the following article from a
London paper of the 21st June sc Captain
Loves letter, upon whch we animadver-
ted last week, rs was reasonably to be cX-
pectcd, excited very strong sensation IN
America. Il was sent express to the Pre-
sidcnt, and some strong measures it is sup
posed will be rcsorted to by the government
on the occasion. The pr0nptitude of this
country in protesting against captain Loves
conduct, VIII, it is hoped, eviuce 20 the ~
mericans the sense of the nation upon this
mans puerile folly and contumelious impu-
dence"
Private letters from Liverpool, Of 50 late
a date as June 2Gth, are silent on the sub
icct of 4 rupture between the United States
and Great Britain; and, far from express
sing any approximations of such an event,
they state that the shipments OF the present
season TO this country, would be quite as
great as heretofore.
Late letters from the Havana mention,
that British merchandise, which had been
detained az the Custom mouse, IN COuformi-
~ to a late order, had on consideration
that the expenses of government could
not be betrayed, unless the revenue was
continued, been released, and intimation
given, that they would hereafter be admit
ted to entry.
It is stated in a Pittsburg paper, that the
British merchants at MiChiilimakinac re-
fuse purchasing any articles oil country pro-
duce from the Americans, and are prepa-
ring TO remove their effects from our ter
ritory. 1t is further stated, that the diff
cultics with the Indians on that frontier are
such As to render it unsafe to travel from
Chicago to Detroit by land.

Of the nation hangs by thread, and is de-
termined il she falls, the whole CONNER
cial world shall fall with her. Il is from
this extreme sensibi,ity to her critical 81.
tuation that we derive consolation. If A.
merica strikes at her with commercial re-
strictions, her government is gone the
commercial iatcrest OF England once cut
up, there is no hope for her monarchy !;
the house of Brunswick will be annihilat-
ed and the prohigate descendant OF the
race of Este who now dlsgraces the En-
glsh throne will be the instrument to ruin
his house. The adherence of George the
third to the wicked maritime policy which
he has all along authorised, will be as fa-
tai to him and his family as was the spirit
of bigotry to James the second and the
house of Stuart. In case of revolution in
England, which NAV be reasonably calcu-
lated upon if Great-Britain be outlawed by
Europe, America, and parts of Asia and
Africa, some more efficient character than
the Prince of Wales will in all probability
be at the head of the government, which in
all likelihood wilt assume i mildcT form,
from which the world NAV expect more
equitable principles of maritime iurispru-
dence. The nations of the Garth may then
hope for some repose and outraged hu-

OF those deSolating wars which the corrupt
councils and wicked policv Of the existing
British government have been so fruitful in
devising.
And what has America to fear from a
conflict with England Our merchants
would be little worse oil then than they are
now. Ourtrade is at present circumscribed
and pruned by the British at their plea
sure; the orders of the king in council are
magical circle, out Of which CUR ships
dare not move for fear oil destruction.
War could bring but few more calamiries
and further submission would only induce
additional oppression. Let US resist like
men now if we do not, we are more tn be
despised than the tyrants of the seas are to
be eleerated.

and followed as it has since been by the
losses which have been sustained by his gal
liant troops in Egypt.
His majesty could not but lament the ex-
tension of hostilities in any quarter which
should create diversion in the war so ia
vorable to the view of France but lamen-
ting il especially in the instance of pow.
err with which his Majesty has been so close
~ connected, and which has been so recent
ly indebted for its protection against the
Entertainments of France in the Signal and
successful interposition of his Majcsty's
arms.
His Majesty has directed us to acquaint
you, that he has thought it right to adopt
such measures as might best enable him,
an concert with the Emperor of Russia, to
take advantage any favorable cpportuni-
ty Tor bringing the hostilties in which they
are engaged against the Sublime Porte, to
a conclusion, consistent with his Majcsty's
honor and the interest of his Ally.
Gentlemen Of the House Of Commons,
His Majesty has ordered the estimates
for the current year to be laid before YOU,
and he relies on the tried lovaltv and zeal
of his faithful Commons to make such pro-
vision for the public service, as we'll as for
the further application of the sums which
were granted in the last parliament, as
may appear to be necessary. And his Ma
jesty, bearing constantly in mind the ne
cesssity of careful and economical admin
istration of the pucuniary resources OF the
country, has directed us to express his hopes
that you will proceed, without delay, in the
pursuit of those inquiries connected with
the public economy, which engaged the at
tention of the last Parliament.
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
His Ma esty commands us to state to you,
that he is deeply impressed with the pecu-
liar Importance at the present moment
of chcrishing a spirit of union and harmo-
ny amongst his people; such spirit will
most efectually promote the prosperity of
the country at home, will give vigor and
efficacy to its councils and arms abb DAD, and
can alone enable his Majesty under the
blessings of Providence to carry on success
fully the great contest in which he is en-
gagged, or finally to conduct it TO that ter
mination which his Maiestv's moderation
and justice have led him to seek "a peace
in which the honor and interests of his king
dom can be secure, and in which Europe
and the world may hope for independence
and repose.
