The UNITED STATES AND
II. GREAT BRITAIN. -

1t is, indeed, great unhappiness
and much to be limented, that me king
OF Great Britain should SO far contioue
his resentment against the u. States,
because they were formerly mis- colo
niss,) as to resist every attempt that,
the administrations OF Jefferson & Ma.
Olson have made for the restoration of
a good understanding between Great
Britain and America.
We attribute the procrastination in
the settlement of differences in a great
measure to the Beitish monarch him
self, not only because we know that on
the death of Gen. Washington mark
ed disrespect was shewn at the court
OF ot. James for the memory Of that
great man, and that personal hostili-
ly is entertained by CO orge the Third
against Thomas Jefferson and all the
leading characters of the American
Revolution, but also because it would
be impossible for the two countries to
be discovered in affection for SO long a
time, if it were not for the active In
iidence OF the British crown.
! There are SO many ties which bind
the pee pie OF the two nations in natu-
RAJ way, SO many corresponding views
OF commercial policy to perpc.uate a
tree intercourse, SO much of a similefi-

Yesterday dinner was given to General

the Washington Hotel. Nearly 200 gentle
men partook of the entertainment, AMONGST
whom were the following public characters
the vice president of the u S and severaI

the late mayor Of this city (Mr. Clinton col
Rutgers. and many other private gentlemen
OF the hrst responsibility were also among
the guests. The dinner was provided bv
Mr. Kent in superb style, and was one Of
the most sumptuous aud splendid ever wit
messed in the city. 1t exhibited a proud
display OF patriotic gratitude for public SER
vices, and an honorable proof that republi.
cans are not always unthankful to public ser
wants and bencfactors.
In the manly and dignifed department of
this minister, while maintaining the rights
and honor OF his country, in a cline where
right and honor have so little weight, and
.rapacity, injustice aud venality so univer
sally prevail. and where he was surround
ed by difficulties and dangers sufficient to
overcome the frmest resolution, the citj
Gems Of New York perceive abundant cause
of pride and appreciation The welcome he
has received among them must Convince the
world that but one sentiment and one mind
prevails with them on the subject of French
