TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER %.
MARRIED, on Thursday evening, Mr.. IYfl-
liam Moss, of Fairfax county, to Miss Ger
trude Holmes, of Martinsburg.
The British government has, it appears,
signiGed to Mr.. Munroe, that it neither does,
nor has at any time maintained the pretension
of a right to search ships O. war, in the natl
onal service of any state, for deserters and
that if it should appear that the act ofthe Bri-
fish officers in the affair of the Leopard and
Chesapeake rested on no other grounds than
the simple and unqualified assertion of such a
pretension, there would be no difficulty in dis
ayowing the act and making the PREPARATION
really due. Nor. Ihtek
Cfiniosss Q5road--Wc have received, {says
the Boston Gazette) by the last arrivals from
England, several interesting Pamphlets, on
the political and commercial relations be-
| tween Great Britain and America Selecti-
ons, as we have room, will be made from
these papers and such comments attached
thereto, IS may be deemed salutary and use
full. in the preface OF one ofthese pamphlets
entitled 8 A True Picture OF the u. States Of
America, in her conduct towards CT, Britain,
7 from The Peace Of 1888 to the present time .
| the author remarks :---ss IT would be unjust
not to avow, that amongst the present minor
| ty, Ia minority indeed) ofthe people of Ame-
! RIGA, there are characters who would do honor
to any country-It does not, however, cinli-
nish the charges against the majority, to say,
(, that the efforts Of the Adamses. the Amescs,
the Trumbulls, the Kings, thc~Morrises, the
Pinckneys, the Smiths, and the Rutledges,
have been unavaling. America has been
!" deaf to the voice of the charmer, charm he
! never so wisely" since the death Of the illus
trious WAsHINGToN, and the destruction Of
| his system of government His loss, to her
irreparable, may be well described in the
words which the elegant Tacitus applies to
Germanicus.-s' In dolucrc eXtree nationes

/" 1t will be necessary in entering upon
our work, to take notice of the great isno-
rance which prevails in this country, relative
to the American disposition and character
This has, howeyer,arisen from representations
coming in such way, and through such re-
spectacle channels, that it is moro to be re-
| GREETED, than difficult to be accounted for.
1t has beer an arniable error on the part
Of the people of this country it has never
theless been an error, and a great one. But
it is one which will speedily be developed ::
/ it is one which has been felt and dreaded by
the few discerning men in that country, from
the earliest periods of the French revolution.
The mania for French connection the at
tachment, through all the. scenes Of blood, car
mage, and devastation the palliation OF every
atrocious act of the more atrocious conventi-
on; the avowed wish that has at all times ex-
listed, and, by the great majority Of people
been expressed, forthe subjugation of Great
Britain, and the domination of France, the
patronage granted for The past six years to eve
ry one who could bring proofs of his having
rebelled against his king, or plotted the de-
vastation of his country all these loud and
declared facts, have been SO notorious that to
doubt the settled, the lnyeterate hosuilty or
the American people, were to doubt the most
self evident proposition in nature"

person was frequeo,ly mentioned ID that

that abusive words had as little vigor as
dignity. and tha. no one object Of war, or
