The dispute with America seems to be
Brought to close, or nearly so, & appearances
would indicate that an open rupture w II be the
consequence. do not believe that an open rup.
cure will take place; 1T least, do not believe
that it will end in war ut, in the me an while.
it is proper TO see the grounds of dispute in the
eight Lights endeavour to form correct opinion
as to its consequence. In the last volume of the
Register, gave clear and concise history OF
the dispute To that volume, ] must refer The
readef for full information upon that subject
and the historical part of the ar icle, cont aiming
references to the documents in support of the
several statements, there can remain doubt
as to the accuracy of he whole. The article
here referred TO was published on he 5th Of
December last, at which time l could not OF
course know what was then passing, and had
just passed in America. By reference 10 tina!
humble, it will be seen that the last of the do
cumen's. then in our possession, came down TO
The Cd of November. They consisted, as will
De seen, of proclamation ofthe President,
NJ Madison, and of circular letter of the
Secretary of the Treasury, dated the Cd
ei November. Since that time; there have
been published several important documents re-
fstins to the subject.
Ii clearly appears, that the American 90.
<epnmsnt is resolved not to permit any int r
course with US, unless we snnul our orders in
council, and revoke our y stem of paper block
AIDE. This our ministers seem resolved not to
do and were not things in wrong shape
should commend them for their resolution
IF hey stood upon The mdnIy ground of mari
time sovereignty, should say that they did
well but even then, as said in the article
above referred 10, they seem bound, in conse-
,1uence of their promises, to do away wbst.the
Americans lcomplan OF, if the French have
repealed their Berlin and Milan decrees, and
this they have, believe, done. The question
of right, however, no one can settle, in the case
of nations 1t is matter of esepediency aud we
nave only 10 enquire, whether ii be, or be not
sxpedient for the Americans TO break with us
upon this ground 1 am of opinion that it is
The persons WHO now, and for some years

cularly connections with England, which they
regard as dangerous to the liberties Of Ameri-
ca They have seen what banks and East-In-
dia companies, and meetings of merchants and
bankers, have produced in England and they
stem to have resolved, that the same shall not

Of those who we're before employed in raising
corn and making corn, and bree ding cattle, for

from different parts of this kingdom, and espe-
cisIIy from Ireland, and WHO, until Of late, have
been in America employed, for the far greater
part, in agriculture. Whea, therefore, there was
no longer any outlet for the superabundance Of
