1t is with sincere satisfaction, that we have
traced the firm and dignifed course which
has been held by some of the Federal prints.
respecting the minister Jackson. In
stead of indicating the conduct of the Bri
fish Agent, as they have generally done
instead of ranging themselves on the side of
Great Britain in opposition to the acts and
ideas of their own goverbment--theus seem
to have imbibed spirit, which should ami
mate every American bosom.
James Jackson, the negociator of .Copenha
gen, the Ex-minister of Great Britain, is
denounced in terms ofindi.nant and lust re.
probation. His insulting conduct is resented
No tender tear is shed over his misfortunes
No sympathetic sigh is heaved for his suf-
ferings. Ii is in vain that he loses his s,ipurb
salary, rich as any which ever 6eionged to
the highest embassies at the courts of Eu-
rope, 7vhen the British had ministers at those

one of the conditions of his accepted commits.

The circumstantial nature Of the prece 4.

claim the serious attention of every real A.

rights and the duties of Foreign Ministers.
That they have hriUikeges of peculiar
sort--but that these have limit--that there
are means pointed out by the Law of Nations
for repressiug their Entertainments and cor
recting their insults--that the government
to whom they are sent, are bound to enforce
the resfect that is due 20 itself, as well as
the rights which belong to them, is evident
enough. This extract however does not
embrace maxim which suits the present
condition of j. ]. Jackson; which is, that
though he is no longer the organ of his go
yernment, his usual privileges are in
force until he leaves our soil; for Nattei

The wheat harvest being now concluded,
the following may be considered az an I'M
partial estimate of the produce Wheat
on the strong lands short in quantity, but
good in quality. On the light and cold
lands fair crop as to produce, but much
infected with the smut. Some strong lands
which last year produced 4 quarters an acre,
do not this year average more than 3 but
with respect to weight, the quality is consi-
derably better than that of last year. On
the whole, from the various accounts, the
produce may be estimated at about 18th
short Of what is called an average crop at
quarters an acre. The quality is how
ever generally SO superior, the deficiency of
the quantity may probably be obviated, so
as to raise the produce of nutriment equal
to that 0fslast year.
