A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

Yesterday about ID o'clock, the United
States fngate President, commodore Rod
gers, arrived off Sandy Hook, from the Che
sapeake. In the afternoon, two officers came
I'D from her on board the pilot boat Thorne,
from whom we have the particulars OF the
firing off Cape Henry, which has for the last
two days, given rise to so many reports and
coniectures. The fact, as stated below, will,
we have no doubt prove substantially correct.
! The mistake will be regretted by all, and none
will be found to censure commodore Rodgers
for the course which he pursued.
There is no truth in the reports Of the Pre-
sident having been sent out In pursuit OF the
frigate that impressed man from the brig
Spitire- the unfortunate affair now be-
fore US has no connection with any particular
orders to commodore Rogers. These being
facts, no additional circumstance has now &C.
tcurred to widen the breach between the two
governments under whose flags these vessels
Sail. The mistakes Of night" ought not,
cannot produce war.
Particulars of the engagement between the
u. States frigate President, Commodore
ROGERS and the British sloop Of war Little
Belt, Capt. Bingham.
On the night Ol lnc iOtii lilol. doout .ioSA
the frrgate fell in with the sloop of war about
20 miles n. E. of Cape Henry; and when
within pistol shot of her, Commodore Rogers
hailed her---no answer was giyen---Commo-
dore Rogers hailed her second time, and In
the act of hailing, shot was fired from the
sloop of war into the frigate, which struck her
mainmast.---The frigatc Immediately fired a
shot into the sloop OF war---she then poured a
broadside into the frigate. Here the action
commenced, and continued about Is minutes,
when the sloop of war ceased firing. The
frigate remained near her all night. The next
morning Commodore Rogers sent an officer
on board, to offer any assistance they might
require and to express his regret at the Sir-
cumstance that had occurred the preceding
evening. The sloop OF war proved to De the
Little Belt, capt Bingham, who apologized;
and gave as reason for firing into the trigate,
that he supposed her to be Frenchman !; and
politely declined any assistance, as he beiieved
be would be able to reach port II safety.
The Little Belt lost in killed and wounded
50 men, was very much injured, having had
nearly all her nlasts and spars shot away, De-
sides several shots in her hull.
This sloop of war Is Danish built vessei,
and was taken at Copenhagen. In Steers list
she is rated 20 gun sloop, but carries -
thirty-two pound carronades.
The President received se1ne tritiing dam
age in her rigging, and had one BOY si'sh'ly
wounded in the arm.

have given the most respectful attention
70 the arguments used by .he opposers OF the

obviate the reasoning drawn from 1t by Its

upon which it is founded. l understand II 10
be bottomed upon ale idea, that the bank law
was in the nature Of contract; ana that uh-
der its influence, private rights became vest

vernment was bound to carry it into effect,
and that refusal to have done so, or the re-
peal of the act woald have been violation OF
good faith, Sc sc. The honorable gentleman
from Tennessee (Mr. Andcrson) observed,
that the republican administration, viewing
this law in the nature of contract, from Sd
cred regard to the preservation OF good talth,
passed these several acquiescing laws, Sc. &c.
The observation of the gentleman, so tar as 1t
respected the manifestations OF good i4lth on
the part of the republicans, was certainly both
Just and pertinent. The republicans have GER
tainly fulfilled, with the most scrupuous hde-
Ety, all the public engagements OF their pre-
decessors as we'll as their own yet DO not
believe that these several acqulescln';, laws
were passed under the pressure OF any ooN-
CATION for the preservation OF good falth.

N proceeding to the iect which pro-
missed in nv last, it becomes necessary to
look back to the causes which have produced
the deep rooted cnn,ity su5sisuns for ages be-
tween France and England. Notwithstanding
the Lite sneer thrown out by the Alonlteur,
that the English were the cnly nation upon
record, who had ever been conquered by a
Single battle, they might we'll retort, " they
whom cur fathers have in their own land
beaten, bobbed and th1!mpcd, and left them OH
record the heirs of shame" In the reign Of
ard Sd, Edward the black prince gave
the French bloody and mos: disastrous
overthrow upon the plans OF CresSy. Henry
5th, Of England, upon his ascending the Eng
lish throne, LID clliIn 70 the crown OF France,
as nearsst in blood in the female llre. This
claim Was contested by the French, upon the
plea that the oa!ioue law prohibited the sue
ccssion Of female 20 the crown, consequent
ly cl.iin derived from a contaminated source
could not be in itself pure. a war ensued.
Henry invaded France, and after many bloody
sattles, the English king prevailed, and so far
reduced the French as 10 make their king &C
knowledge himself his subject, and that he
held his crown of England. Upon the death
of Henry S, his son, then ali infant nine months
old, was declared king OF England and France,
and crowned king Of France Il believe in Pa
Is) and was so acknowledged by the French
nobility. ard gentry; who took the usual
oatks OF allegiance. But this calm did not
last long the French dauphin and nobility,
spurnins foreign yoke, and taking advan-
tage of Henry 6th's embecility, broke intoopen
revolt, and after many bloody struggles sue.
ceeded in completely shaking off the English
domination. Here is sufficient cause of NOR
tihcation and shame on both sides, mighty
kingdom, won and lost, the long and bloody
wars, the many private feads, the various in.
stances of individual barbarity, the haughti.
ness of conquerors over the conquered, and
then the grief of those conquerors at being
expelled by those they had before spbdued,
are all causes of the most deep rooted hatred
between the two nations, and this hatred has
descended from father to son III hereditary
succession to the present day. with undated
fury. Upon the overthrow and death Of Ri.
chard Sd, at the battle of Bosworth, Henry
Tudor, earl of Richmond, succeeded to the
crown. His policy was totally different from
tina, of any of his predecessors. Instead Of
stimulating his subjects to blood and strife,
