leans, and J Kennedy and Cox. and ]. Sher-
JOCK ct Baltimore. In particular stage OF
the trial, 1t became necessary for one of the
parties to prove that MIR Sherlock was in
serested IN some shipments made by Ken
nedy q Cox. and for this purpose, a gen
tleman (Mr. Young) was summoned and
sworn. From the commence ment of the
examination MIR Martin appeared detcrmin.

offensive rudeness. and the manner i'm
which he asked him the most trifiing ques-
tons strengthened this idea. Once or twice
the court reminded him Of the necessity there
was for his behaving with politeness the LIST
time at the request of Mr. Purviance, and

FRIDAY MORNING, august 9.

q Whether the accounts respecting the re-
quotations at Washington, published in the
Democratic papers, are mere fancitul manGu-
vres, or are really divulged by some person in
the confidence OF government, we cannot un-
dertakc to say: Experience renders either
supposition probable, as falsehood and breach
Of trust are both much III fashion.
Some days ago, the Wing presented us with
Information from Washington, In which Mr..
Foster was stated to have behaved with great
rutleness towards Mr.. Munroe, and to have
declared that unless the Non-Importation law
was immediately repealed, our coasting
and foreign trade would be annihiated. The
Aurora contains similar statement, but more
at large for he affects to detail the CONVEX
sations which have taken place between
Messrs. Monroe and Foster. and even the
Substance CT the arrangements propos-
ed and rejected: We must, however, have
better authority for these statements before
we place hatlicit reliance on them.
Col Duane finds great fault with Mr. Fos-
ter on account of the " smoothness of his
beard" This is capital objection to an Am
bassador, almost as solid as the complaint of
the Intelligencer, that Mr.. F. was not man
of " high rank Should the British ministry
ever have the satisfaction tosee his ExcelIen-
cy Gen. Turreau, they will be able to select
more suitable ENJOYS in future
At the close Of Duane's account Of these
diplomatic conferences, is the following para
graph: we give it as we have received it.
"Such is the state of affairs with G. Britain.
The President, before his departure, is said to
have given directions to have every vessel be-
longing to the T. States put in state of COM
plete equipment and that all military work,
on the sea board be completed without delay"
Although no man runs the risk of excom-
munication in attaching no credit to Duane's
assertions, he mag at times be correct. But
it is to be remembered, that, as {" organ of tbs
public wii!,' he frequently takes the modest
method of announcing what has been done, IL
order to inform the President what he oughi
10 do.

Wf patiekce and forbcarance of the gene

but shall<dot say much on this melancholy
subject, as it would be needless, and perhaps
improper for me, if my abilities were equal
to it, to hazard an opinion upon our inter
course with the nations of Europe. The TO
reign relations Of our country are confined TO
the government of the United States, whose
wise proceedings, amidst the revolutions that
are taking place in the world, have hitherto.
under Providence, preserved the peace of
our nation. The measures taken b. the cx-
ecuuve OF the Union, mist have conduced to
this happy circumstance which calls upon
US, as people, to give thanks to the Being
who rules in the armies of Heaven above,
and among tie inhabitants of this lower
world.
Gentlemen, permit me to repeat what
have said heretofore, that the difference of
political sentiments among our citizens, is
much to be lamented. 1t would be happy
circumstance if we all could be prevailed u,;-
on to Yield 70 each other, in every reasona-
bic way, and unite our hearts and endeavors
to promote the general welfare Of our COM
mon country.
The difficulties and perplexities that our
general government has to contend with at
this eventiul moment, would seem to demand
the assistance and support of every virtuous
and patriotic citizen ; but it is very humiiia-
ting to observe that there are so MANY "a
mong us who appear iniinical to, and oppose,
the government ofthe United States, which
consider to be the freest and best that the
world now produces, and under which we
now ENJOY great prosperity and happiness,
notwithstanding the cruel and unreasonable
embarrassments that our commerce has ex-
PerYnced And it is truly astonishing to me,
INF tins opposition to our own government,
is hadGat this time, when we behold, before
us,Fhe&Atic4s OF Europe, with whom we
have been pbstly connected in commercial
concerns ,sfhd heretofore thought the most
tavorably of, falling into ruin, ara in the grea-
test distress.
