awe annex thc actual currency for your
Nsfsxports, assuring you that more en-
eouraging quotations are at present merely
nominal, and not at all to be justified by
the tone of our market.
whilst we are fully convinced that, as
far as i, is practicable, the course of Ameri-
can policy will be unalterably pacihe, we
are not without our fears that the inssrt curse
will again be suspended. The partial re-
peal OF our orders in council, and the mild
character of our constructive blockade, may
ifskliully and temrerately urged, lead to
happy issue bus knowing that the senti-
men; the British minister is lofty and un-
wise that America will-America must
submit" we apprehend that Mr.. Jackson's
Instructions are not quite so conciliatory as
the novelty and oppression Of the case, as
we'll as the vital interests at stake, SC evil
dently aud powerfully demanded.
"Ouruext advices, which may be ex-
pected to announce Mr., Jackson's arrival,
are looked to with degree of anxiety ne
yer before witnessed and whiisr any pause
nthe intercourse, however short its dura-
ton, would clearly and materially enhance
The prices of produce, Our" present quota
tons certainly could not make "a stand a.
Sanst the strong hope of an early adjust
Hent Of subsistlng differences.
Unfortunately for Our country there IS
awarllke character in our councils, which
IS totally adverse to any permanent arrange
ment; and sooner or later this spirit, If not
hld by the nation, will seek an opportunity
Of dlseharging itself upon America. Even
where the interests of America are concur
rent with the measures of Britain, the dis
position is never allowed to grace the act |;
and the English minister, with a degree OF
"perly which is without precedent and
Without apology, shamelessly avows that
me good which was done to America by
@measures, was undersigned by govern
Asnts How can we ultimately look to
peace from an administration where the de-
afe OF doing good, from good motive, is
'noanced in the most proaigate manner
1t Is very clear that the government OF
America and England have not yet come to-
S'aer gith that earuestness, or understood
An other with chat precision, which the
Magnitude ofthe object, the very nature OF
@Ltscussion, and above all, the distant
Ions of the two nations, so pre-eminent-
Eqsmanded. We viii further venture to
ssssrt, without any qualification or coudl-
Won whatever, that MIR. Erskine is not the
..uy member of the diplomatic tribe who
%as incurred the displeasure, or forfeited
"ssconhdence of his government.
Affixed to our quotations we have given
sOme brief notices of the state aud pros
