Mr.. SHIRLY,
Every citizen must be sensible, that
oy the late conduct of our cabinet. in
refusing tonegociate with the British
Envoy, the prosperity and peace Of the
nation are unnecessarily put at hazard.
we say, " unnecessarily" For tho II
IS granted, that some of the claims
and pretensions of the English govera-
ment are not to be admitted, we, by no
means discern that they insist upon
conditions Injurious to the welfare or
derogatory to the independency of the
country. Il is not intended, therefore,
to.apologlze for all the acts or claims
oi The britisb--but rather to shew, that
they have done nothing to Justify our
Rulers IN provoking them to hostilitie.
and that the principal causes of our
pfcsent embarrassed situation may be

nretend to vouch for the accuracy OF
this, nor can trace the origin oi the re-

this way we may account for the favor
itism exercised so long towards this

Of many Of the leading democrats, who
express openly their desires that we
nay have war with Great Britain, |
hope and trust they will be frustrated
in ,heirnefarious designs. The South

must bear the brunt, and this may be
the cause Of their unreserved dcclara-
tions, and if insulting ansuage towards
the British government, can effect their
object, they certainly will insure it."

Ertrac: ofa letter. from Washington da-
ted, House d. ot.Rehresentstfves Dec. 10.
In the moment Of writing you, am
for a moment diyerting my attention
from the speech of Mr.. Dana, on the
resolutions from the Senate. 1t is
conciliatory and good natured: but it
is perspicuous, forcible and overpower-
ing beyond any thing ever heard in
this house. And / venture TO say the
man who can either hear or read it,
without being convinced of the impro-
priety of passing the Resolutions, must
be determined to plunge the country
into war--in truth, the people ofthis
country are now to decide whether
they will suffer themselves to be plum
ged into war,at once unnecessary and
ruinous, or shew the administration the
danger of persisting in its destructive
projects. God grant, that the Ameri-
can people, hitherto equal to selfgov-
ernment and self preservation, may
now, In the most perliouS moment,
which has succeeded our glorious revo-
luton, rise to the magnitude Of the oc-
casion.
The point of decisive importance,
insisted on by MIR. Dana, is that one
government has no right to conclude an
arrangement with a minister resident,
as such unless he exhibits 10 them,
specific Instructions authorising him to
make the specific arrangement and
that therefore il is no argument for Mr..
Smith to say he did NOT KNOW, but that
MIR. ErskiDe might hGUe been authorised
To bind the British government, he
should be able to prove, that Mr.. Err
skine zsas authorized 70 make the ar
rangement which he aid make.-This
point he has most ce8ciusively and ir-
resistablv estabiished-Of course, all
Mr.. Smiths logic IS cut up by the
roots. | hope YOU will feel anxious to
read this irresistible speech--for the
perusal oft, will answer more than the
expectation, have endeavoured to ex-
cite in you.

Ertract Of letter from Washington
dated Dec. IA, 1909.


The public sentiment here, relative
to the rupture of the negotiation, is
very different from the first impress
sion.-Most thinking people conceive
the government has been too hasty -
or that the President has had bad advi-
sers. They look in vain in the cores
pondence for those very offensive ex-
pressioDs, which could authorize break
ing off SO important a negotiation !;
and the rupture is attributed to a variety
of causes, rather than the pretended in
sult--Somc suppose the /" family COM
pact that the Senator's four hundred
thousand dollars, III the hands of the
French, and the late Dispatches from
that Country, have had their influence.
But we are most astonished at the no.
tice taken OF the " Circular Letter.
That a man accused of such an enor-
nous offence, which almost subjected
him 10 coat of tar and feathers as he
passed through Baltimorc--and against
whom the democratic presses teemed
with such vile abuse and denunciations.
could not be allowed the privilege of
even pleading not guilty, smacks lit
tie OF want of mercy. He regrets that
offence was taken by the American
government, when no insult was inten-
ded by him ;-and this is said to be an
appeal to the people This is truly
magnilying mole hill to a mountain.
fear we shall have reason again to saw
there is something rotten in the State
of Denmark"
Farmer Giles seems to have " let
the cat out Of the bag" too soon. A
war with England and alliance with
France does not appear to cool, consid-
crate men,to be the best possible method
OF promoting the happiness of the peo-
pie the freedom Of Holland or Swift
zerland has no charms for us. We had
fondly hoped tmy friend) that we had
got rid OF French intrigue and that
French Influence would no more have
dominion over us. Alas how preca-
rious, how uncertain is the fate of man
For most triiling dispute in which il
does not appear that any insult was Civ
en-, or intended, VIC are likely 10 be
plunged into war which we most ab-
hor.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

English accounts few days later ITO
Nov. l4) have been received since our last,
but they furnish no news of Importance.
The Spanish Patriots still contend with the
French invaders The account of the de-
feat of Gen. Marchand WHO'S the successor
of Marshall Ney, is confirmed. When
Gen. Marchand left Salamanca with an ar
my Of 10000 infantry and 1900 cavalry, he
declared that he would destroy $4,000
Spanish peasants that day before noon, but
after contest of seven hours the French
were compelled to retreat with the los, of
1000 men, 5000 muskets and a large guam
tity of military stores and accoutrements.
On the other hand The Spanish forces un-
der Gen. Vinegas, have been defeated and
driven out Of the province of La Mancha.
1t is also stated that the brave garrison in
the city Of Corona, after sustaining a siege
with the most heroic courage and perseve-
rance, have been compelled to capitulzte.
Lord Wellington has assumed the COM
mand ofthe Anglo Portuguese army, which
is at BsdaJos.
Rumours continued 10 circulate in Eng
land, at the last dates, that geMeral peace
would soon take place-tut the general
opinion was, there were no reasons to ex-
psct such an event at present.
At the date of the last accounts from
France, Bonaparte was preparing to set out

The fam placed IN the Ireafary,

merchants, in 1907 was 10 millions.
The fame in 1893 was little more
than 10 nli,lions.
In October 1907, Mr.. Jetfcrfon
informed us in his fpeech that the
preceding wear had Jeff furplus in

This is a fact, which in fpitc of
all the opiates that have been, ad-
miniltcred to lull US into patience
and fecurity, mutt rosfe the attention

under which commerce has laboured,
the people have become poorer. 1t
h.s become difficult for many Of our
farmers to procure the common nee
eGaries for their families, and pay
the nliial taxes. A loan Of four mil

What good effect has this ruinous
fyfem Of commercial re(frictions
produced ? There is not man in
the United States who does not nsw

But it will be faid by the apollo
giils of government, that without
refriaions at home, we fhould have
