The letter adds, =" have not heard the co..
soor they give the AFFAIR between the President
and Little Belt
The following is one Of those statements
which are denominated in the rich voc abula-
ry of our language, false facfs. Its Contra
ny to the most recent intelligence from En-
gland. which has given Us to understand,
not only that the cabinet of London con :
templated the Immediate adoption of a
measure tn counteract the non-importation
law, but that hostile Instructions had actu -
ally been transmitted to the British naval
commanders in the East and West Indies,
and in Halifax. in respect t. this country. -
We wonder at the credulity of those who
perseveringly credit. in opposition to EVIL
dence "strong AS proofs Of holy writ" dccep-
tious statements of the friendly conduct of
England or of France. Before we put faith
IN any such stories, we must see something
more than unauthentic Intelligence. or even
than vague arrangements to be executed at
future day.-Bah. Amer.
