this country tor d decision ofthe ques-
ton OF peace or war. The public
sentiment was huctuating amidst a
multitude Of fears, hopes and coniec-
lures: the predominant wish was in
favor OF preserving peace with this
country.
Neither the Usage nor Mr.. Nourse
had arrived il England at the tune of

nistry will certaini never relax in the
late orders In council, until Bonaparte
recedes from practising on the prin-

Bonaparte no doubt will hold the same
language with regard to England, the
