THOUGHTS ON OUR AFFAIRS WITH.

We are told 10 the morning papers OF
Yesterday, that capt Croker, who is just
arrived from Liverpool, which he lets on
the s9ih of September, briggs intelligence
that no spprehensions were entertained at
that place, when he left it, Of inptuE.s
with the United States. We caoao', how'
ever, think that this opinion OF an 'ndIVI
dual is 10 be sc. against the uniform lao
guage of the English prints which we havs
90 lately seen. There is TOO much reason
70 fear that hostile disposition 10 tha'
ceuu,ry towards this, is breeding daily
and unless judicious measures arc lmme'

the most distfoyous consequences ;,

in I so2, this proceeding had been declared
and the secretary OF the navy
'ln his letter to tina, committee, had ex.
Ipressly made representations Ct various
errors 10 the treasury department, in 40.
Plicaiions Of money. This being,he case.
was it pot proper tina. the hopse should
understand the mode in which this had
been done? Whether any money had
been drawn out Of the treasury, aud how
got st! Mr:Q. had meant to cass no i'm.
putaiion Oh the bill. There were two things
10 be considered; one, the correctness Of
the end, the other, the correctness of the
means to that end. He believed i, had
been proper, under all circumstances, for
the executive to rake measures for psoyid.
ing those means; bu, did it follow that the
house should authorize them without 10.
formation on the subject? They should
know the particulars: they should ask for
them, Did the house know any thing a.
bou, it? No. The gentleman from MAJ
rylapd who had jus. spoke had stated thar
no money hadbeen actually paid; and yet
the secretary of the navy atates explicitly
1" We have consequently farchdseda all tina,
has beeu offered tor sale at reasonable
price" What payment had been made for
the purchase he should like to know.
Mr. G. said he had no objections to the.
object of the bill but wished to be enabled
to give his full and perfect appreciation 70
the measure. a. present he could only
give half way assent; boz could not say
the whole course had been correct. lfspy
reflection were cast on This occasion, it
should be ou the commitie. who had re,

for the legislature TO fo,ssee, in all It's de

and reasonable discretion should be al

The mos, proper way would perhaps be,
DOT TO enter into so many details; not 10
