MISCELLANY.
From me aurora.
THE cur is FULL.


ThE long impending ire, the smothercd
hatred, the disguised war, which assumed tho
many aspects, which has ultimately plundered
and promised redress, and professed justice
only 10 vary the forms OF injustice, which has
oppressed the commerce, corrupted the NOR
ais, insultcd the dignity and violated tho
rights of this free snd Independent nation
which has murdered our people md carried
thousands into tho most odious OF all bondage,
ut length assumes an aspect less ;reacherous
because more open and determined hostility.
Great Britain at length avows her injustice,
and once more menaccs our independence.
From the seat OF the Uni,sd States govern
ment, and from England, we at the same mo-
mcnt have received advises which corroboralc
each other, and determine ,hc fact iha, e..
Britain has resolved 10 make war upon us.

ing the manner in which American vessels
were 10 bc treated and II was understood in
London that Mr. Foster was directed to tako
high ground, and demand OF the United States
not only the immediate abrogatlon OF the nom
intercourse law, but that the United States
government should also demand OF the French
government the repeal of her cdicts as well
in relation 10 Great Britain as 10 the United
Sta,cs--and, that these rcquisilions should DO
