MISCELLANY.

IY the Aurora Of the sth we find an article
On the subject OF our relations with G.. Brit
ain, in which Mr.. Fostor,the British minister
TO our government, is stated, in his interviews
with Mr.. Secretary Monroe, TO have Z" assum-
ed tone of arrogance and insult. An inu-
NATION to the like effect we have remarked in
the Baltimore Whig, from which i, has been
copied into other prints. We have seen
these statements with much surpiize. We
cannot say tha, they arc contrary 10 fact; but
we feel ourselves called upon 10 say, that we
never heard of the circumstances stated III
these papers in rclation 20 the Intercourse Of
the British minister with our government
although, had they occurred, they would
more than probably have ccmc 20 our knowl-
edge in some shape or other. On the contra
~, we have understood that the in,eNiews
between the Secretary and the minister were
perfectly amicablc and that however lenaci-
ously the one or the other might have adher-'
cd TO the rights or prctcn,ions OF their res.
pcc,ive governments, their conferences were
conducted in a'petfectly decorous and friend.

FRENCH NEWS.

We learn, verbally, by the Matilda, that the
u. States frigate Constitution was, as late as
the 18th ult. still at Cherbourg, waiting to
hear from Mr.. Barlow, who was IN expecta-
ton of having an intercourse with Emperor
Bonaparte, who had just returned from his
loving visit to the Hollanders. The absence
OF Bony, no doubt, had prevented d full settle
ment of all matters in dispute between that
and this country. His return, twas expect
ed, would be productive of new set OF pro-
misses, which would be forwarded IN the Con-
s,itution, by sIr. Barlow. ;.
1t is also said, that when the Matilda sailed
she had on board French paper containing
ALI official account of battle between Blake
and French army at Sagante, the famous
town in which the former was defeated with
the loss of 5000 killed, wouhded and prison.

Presidents 1fsssdgr.--tiappiiy the expect
alton OF Mr. Madison's speech, steps lii cp-
portuneiy, as something OF al antidote to the
effect O! the European dearth. From that
speech Shall we learn lh&t that terrible being,
John Bul,, does not suffer his thousand arm
ed vessels, banned and equipped at an enor-
nous expence, to lie wholly idle, but that
they are guilty of the audacious tyranny OF be-
Ing, in some degree, check on the violent
inciinAtioas OF Dame Columbia, 70 extend her
arms to cherish, lid and assist her admired
hero, tine Immortal Napoleon, In effecting
Ioha's aaaihilaticn. Much will the speech
complain That the sovereign Of the ocean is
not powerful. to no purpose, and does not de-
scend to and put himself on 4 level with the
inbeciN.y OF the United States, with their do
zen ships.
objectionable is the grievance that the I.e-
yiathan is not as powogless as the Cod. That
the Jack:l, whom nature meant Tor the Lions
providcr, is not permitted to diverS Its pro-
vender,to the support of the Tiger, with a
view TO the destruction ofthe Lion.
The speech may not say these things In di-

Its meaning:

With abstract rights thrce-deckcrs batter;
An empty purse It millions shake,
And no trade 'gainst a free trade stake;

LITERARY NOTICE.

A new Work has lately appeared, entitled
&c The WANDERING PHILANTHEoPIsT: by
George Fo-eler. They are Letter, written
from the United Statcc, under the character
of Foreigner; and among other subjects
which they embrace, exhibit in an equal strain
the folles and defects, as well as the more
pleasi 8 traits, of the American character
The following extract, on different topic,
may give specimen of the manner in which
they are written :
I" Oh We Rich and ye Proud satiated with
luxury and at loss how to dispose of your
time; how little do We consider that your In
activity and your pleasure are purchased at
the expcnce, Of the labor and pangs, of the
poor. They produce the wealth which you
ENJOY; they bear your burhens, and you re-
pay thea, with a naughty contempt. While
you set under your magnificent walls sur
rounded with costly furniture, the poor have
hardly hat sufficient to protect them from
the piercing wind, the driving snow, or the
overwhelming torrent. While you sit down
to your spacious table, covered with dishes
of luxury and glittering decorations; the half
furnished poor sit down to their oakcn table,
and scanty meal, and hardly is their fare over
before they arc hurried away to the labor of
the day. While you repose Oh your. bed
of down. surrounded by curtains of silk, they
have little more than the damp unwholesome
earth, on which to rest their wearied limbs.
While you are clothed in attire of pompous
and attractive materials /; they are hardly Sc
cured from the scorching heat of summer,
or the piercing cold of winter. While you
are sitting by your comfortable fire, they are
trudging through the snow, or shivering in the
cold with the axe in their hands. While you
are indolensly reposing on your cool sophia,
