BRITISH HONOUR AND vERAcITY,

The members Of the executive government
have had several conferences with the minis
tcrs ofthc beIligerents, during their recent
meeting at Washington.
Mr.. Erskinc we can now say, with full and
perfect confidence, was, as we we're the first
to predict, sacrificed by the peridy Of his.owu.

Mr.. Secretary Smith received on the 18th
inst from Mr.. Erskine a long and very salts
hctory letter in, answer to one Of the 9th inst.
In which Mr.. Smith had respectfully requcs-
ted candid explanation, as to the convcrsa-
tons, which MFR. Canning's despatch Of the
2Sd of Jauurry had imputed to Mr.. Madison,
Mr.. Gallaiia and himself.
Mr.. Erskine has, moreover, in this letter,
stated the rcasor>, which, in the exercise Of
the discretion givsh him, had induced him to
lay his. instructions before the government Of
the United States.
These papers will, no, doubt, be communi-
Gated in due time to Congress.--N Af.

upon any such disgraesful errand from Can

to think with hundreds of thousands of my

istry have given of her faith, that it is we who
require the pledge of good faith, and not they
and after having, obtained this pledge, Meuld

enough to distinguish between neutral and
an enemy, and alike hohourable to acknow-
ledge and respect our neutrality. 1t is full
time to let her know by our actions, that we
are no longer to be the dupes of a Canning
that we are not dependent on the crown for
our cxistance, however many there be among
us, seduced by their gold, who are that it is
full time for them properly to respect our ma
tional rights, and to learn our character that
we are determined to support our general
government, and that whatever attempts they
may make to divide and separate the Eastern
from the Western States, wAl.prove' abortive,
|. and end in contempt of those who make the
trial. We have been tampered with too long
already, and they very much mistake the
character of the freemen of America if Mr.
Canning or his Consuls expects either to bribe
or frighten them into quiet submission to
their tyrannick measures.
