We have good reason to believe, that the
Rosamond has brought out most important
dispatches.
! We understand, that as soon as it was be-
lieved in England, that Ron-intercourSe
bill would probably pass in this country, that
| very serious discussions took place between
the British cabinet and our minister in Lon
don The British minister stated, that no.
thing but actual hostilities on our part, should
provoke war on theirs, and that in the pre-
sent situation of the world, it was desirable
that the only two nations, who could be said
To be free and independent, should remain
at peaCc--yet, that non inter recourse had al
ways been considered as a measure OF mark
ed hostility, and the usual prelude To- an ac-
tuai war.
The Rosamond has brought dispatches,
|
which will he pursued by the British govern
ment; for our own parts we shall not be
surprised, after Mr.. Erskine has made his
communications, if he withdraws during the
continuation of our non. intercourse it is,
we understand. .repugnant to diplomatic II
sage, to continue minister under such
circumstances ; vet we have no idea that
a war will follow.
We have no doutN but that the dispatches
| hf.f nf RI tta e
the British Orders in Council, but coupled
with other propositions, which in substance
require that we should resist the DEGREES ri
France in some shape or other If Mr. Ma
olson comes into such an arrangement, what
excuse will the promoters of measures, which
have produced such incalculable distress,
offer for their conduct /. They will do now,
what if they had done at first, we should
have heard of no embargo, and the uncon-
lstitutional and tyrannical measures which
have adopted to enforce it.
The more we reflect upon the condition of
our country, the more we feel the necessity
OF having men of the best talents, and appro-
we'd virtue and patriotism...L ed.ger.
