The opposition prints, with malignant sa-

taxation. In either event, victory is reckon
ed upon as certain. The effect of excuses
and direct taxes are remembered, and 1T is
hoped that similar causes will, even under
dissimilar circumstances, produce CORE.
spondent effects.
There is, likewise, strong reason to be-
lieve that this impression has had no neon
siderable influence On the British cabinet |;
that they have inferred from il our inabil:-

continue the embargo. or, in case Of such
continuance have counted upon the total
prostraton g our finances Fully appriseo,
from their own experience, of the value or

the want of it all the hideous Effects with
which sanguine h. pes Can inspire their
minds. They have Nc doubt anticipated a
prostraton Of public faith; dissatisfied
and refractory srmv; people ripe for re-
bellon, and cove nment witaout energy
1t is admitted that these would be indeed
calamitous evils, and, if their occurrence
could be reckoned upon with the least pro

grantiDju.tice which has characterised her

views originate in an utter ignorance of our
resources and of our finances, and of the
effects of the embargo upon them. We

Our readers may rely on the assurance we give
we nave hitherto never deceived the public, by
speculatons hostile to the interests of the nati.
en-by falshoods bottomed upon the most res
pectable authority-nor by any other trick or arti
flee.
We now repeat it, that the conduct of Mr..
Rose is such to indicate the most hostile rather
than conciliatory dispositions.
We repeat it that the hostility of the British
government Is inveterate against the United
States.
We repeat it, that expeditions hostile to cur
territory, have been in preparation in England
and unless her new embariassments with Russi:,
and Sweden, compel her to retain her whole force
at home, that it was the determination of Great
Britain to seize New Orleans and the Floridas
4nrorn
