where a camp meeting was. held, a white
man whipt drunken Indian because he

dered the house, set FIRE to it, and went off.
The whites collected, about twenty-five IN

had a skirmish, in which one Indian was
killed, and one white man wounded: the
Indians kept the ground. This caused a
great alarm. The people are terrifying

reviewing the affairs of Europe, the
minds filed with astcnishment, and the.
events which are passing befJre us, more
resemble fable: than history. The reverse
in the affairs Of France has exceeded ali that
has passed since the commencement Of her
revolution, when we compare the magnitude
of the events with the shortness of the time.
In little more than two months, two nations
have been delivered from the dominion OF
Napoleon, nothing short Of one hundred
thousand of his bravest troops have fallen by
the sword and disease, or. have been forced
to surrender prisoners Of war: France and
her ally, Russia, have lost IS sail of the line

FROM G0NDON, January 20.

The following able and comprehensive
statement Of facts and arguments, appli-
cable t o the question Of our contest with
America, we submit I o the serious ex-
animation Of Ministers. If they are &C.
cess:ble to reasons dedured from con-
sideratious of justise or pGEee, they
must be strongly impressed by this state
ment.
The amount Of British manufactures
exported annually to the United States
is estimated to exceed ten millions stcr-
ling, and the demand has been for some
time past rapidly increasing, to the great
advantage Of eur manufactures.
This Increasing demand. proceeds
from the following causes
The growing population aod wealth
Of the United States, creating a greatly
increased consumption; which uecessa-
rily requires an adequate supply ; and
from the commercial enterprise Of the
people Of that country, constantly disco.
vering new and remote markets for our
manufactures, imported hv them for ex-
p, rtaticn, and which thus find their way
into distant channels for consumption,
where they before unknown, aRd
also into the colonies Of the enemy to
which this country as a belligerent, has
no accefs.
1t is estimated, that a sum exceed
ing twelve millions sterling, is now ow.
ing from individuals in the Unitt d States
to the me1ehants add manufacturers Of
the United Kingdom ; which property,
there is toe much reason to aPprshend,
would for an indie finite time. at least, be
directed from its regular channels, BY
the distractions which a state Of HOSTILE
ty will naturally and inevitably present
to its ju.t appropriation in the event Of
a hostile determination on the part of the
Anne lean Government. Such result.
it is to be feared, would be productive
ofext1nsive and general distress in this
country, and greatly augment that alrea.-
dy felt in the manufacturing districts in
tbs North, owing to a suspension of the
demand TOR the American. market, fol,
lowing so closely the priyation of the
trade with the European Continent.
Among the many important eouse-
quences of a rupture with the United
States, are disadvantages: which would
accrue to the commercial Interests at
large, from being deprived of trading
through the only neutral medium now
left them +; and the general Inconvenience
and partial distress which must be expe.
r,euyea .hyfhls majesty subjects in the
West India Islands, in case Of such a
war taking place. The advantage should
also be considered of preserving the A.

tanning that it was more the interest of
America than Of Great Britain. But
America acts and has long acted, to-
wards Us as if she thought she behaved
with great condescension and favor to u
in not taking part against US, As if she
thought the advantages of peace were all
on our side, and as if in not going to war
she consulted 4 principle Of generosity
towards US rather than a principle of in.
clination. Hence she has never failed
to manifest disc6neen.. to make com.
plants, to urge demands which she ha.
conceived we would not refuse, because
we would not relinquish the benefits wn
derived from being at peace with her
