FROM ENGLISH PAPERS.

Observation-Disclosures this head the London
Oracle says: I" America at this time pre-
sent herself rather under new aspect.-
The country is. pacific with regard to Eng
land, and the president wishes to sow dis
cord. This was not the way in Washing
tons time, for the great efforts of that admit
rable man were dioected to destroy amino
sity, and soften down the feelings of rude
and proud nation. Mr.. Jefferson has been
the first to blow the warlike trumpet, and
he obtained success. 1t is only now that the
revolutionary philosopher, the friend of Mi
rabeau and Paine, finds his career is at an
end, and that the people over whom he pre-
sides viii no longer be ruined for the sake
of an experiment, by adhering to a system
ofnew invention and unapproved solidity.
. (" America, ruled by man who inclined
to favor France, has as yet given wrong
explanation to all our actions but now the
moment is arrived when the feelings of the
people supersede the Interpretation of the
government, and that nation will abandon
theory and follow its real interests.
-. The United States have lost much of
their importance by this monetary inter-
ruption. Before it took place, we thought
that our w. India Islands could not subsist
without their commerce, but now we find
the contrary.
~ Is Again, one part of the experiment was
intended to prove that British manufactures
must be ruined If Americans did not buy
This also we have found to be untrue. So
that on the whole, England has gained much
and America lost great deal, by the expe-
riments of philosophic Mr.. Jefferson !!
When he quits the helm, the probabili-
ty is, that they will be as they ought,friends
of England and the French will be recog-
nised as the cause of the ruin of their com
mercial system, which the public does not
know, and which great pains have been TAX
en- to misrepresent.
We may then expect soon to have re-.
newal of trade with the q. S. for the hostile
principle is vanished amongst the people,
and their hostile government is reduced to
a state of acquiescence. We have therefore
on that side the best of prospects"

SATURDAY, APRIL 8.

In our paper of Friday, We announced
that Robert B. Taylor, Esq. had consented
to be candidate for the next congress, Tor
this district. The election commenced yes
terday in the county of Princess-Ann. The
following is a correct statement OF the poll.
For Robert B. Taylor, 1913
Thomas Newton, 1876
Majority for Taylor, 81
The polls for Senator for this district
stood
For James w. Murdaugh, AL
Samuel Marsh, 132
Joseph Goodwin, ~
Fortwo Delegates for the County of Pin
cess-Ann,
For Edward III. Mosely, 26s
Anthony Wake, 173
William Holt, 131
William Boush, jun. 81
The two first are elected.
The result OF this election for a represen-
tative in Congress, has been equally pleas :.
ing and une expected to the, friends OF Mr..
Taylor. 1t is not now more than tour days
Since this gentleman's intentions were
noahed in the county, and vet under this
great disadvantage, the people Of Princess
Ann, determination change ofmen, there
by indicating desire fora change of mea--
sures.
The most sanguine of Mr.. Taylor's
friends had never looked beyond an even
vote IN this county, while his opponents
calculated upon two votes to one in favor of
lMr. Newton. We think the election of
Mr.. Taylor is now certain, but his friends
ought not to relax in their exertions, be-
cause a large majority is always desirable,
and gives confidence and importance to
the successful candidate.

an anecdote is related, highly honorable 10

be recorded.
At the commencement of the late siege

illustrious Palafox) there were in that place,
great number of Frenchmen. Notwith-
standing the indignation of the patriots a
gainst that power, and notwithstanding the
insolence, outrage and oppressive violence
of Bonaparte and his myrmidons towards
these brave and suffering patriots, these
Frenrhmcn were treated with the utmost
kindness-protected in their persons and

hospitality. When the siege became, more
close and vigorous, so that tappeared posi-

men were sent out ofthe town, in the night,
under strong guard for their protection,
and lodged in place of safety in the coun-

at Saragossa. Let US be permitted to hope,
that a people at once SO brave and SO gener-
