For YHE ARcUs.

The following communication zv1s received
TOO tate TOR the last fdher. II zvH be
fercefUed that il zcas qy,itten before the
committee Of Foreign Relations made
Their ref1orf.] Ed. II.
Two messengers have just set out from
Washington for Euroupe, with dispatches
one proceeds to London, the other to Paris.
We have understood that they viii sail from.
New York.
Occasion has been taken, from this circurn-
stance, to forebode further representation
OF diplomatic controversy with the belize
rent powers; and it has been more than
limited, that the image Of mar which the pre-.
sldent has held out to the view of the natiSn.
is to be demolished by secret and counteract-
ing policy. We are not, however, among
those who have entertained this base suspi,
cion. We can never believe that MIR. Madi-
son is capable OF such vile hypocrisy and that
he will, by such duplicity, wound the honep
and iDjure the interests of the country. Jf
the tone OF the presidential message is enfee-
bled, IT will, we apprehend, be by the lame OF
hollow proceedings Of Congress; it will be by
the purse-holding and sword-holding branch
OF the Government. Il is in vain that we ex-.
pect governmental vigOr from any other quar-
ter: no other department can give vigor.
And being we'll assured Of this, it IS not with
out some concern that we hear the buz that
the committee Of foreign affairs intend to re-.
port III a ggarlike style. Now thisis, precise
ly, what we do not like. Il is very easy
matter to get gentlemen TO vote s7veefi4g
declaration, a geherai resolution, that the.
country is independent, that its rights ought
to be maintained, that its interests ought to
be defended; and things Of that sort. But
all such declarations mean nothing al all
they are exactly Of that class Of express.css

eCapt. Bingham has been made post Captain,
and appointed to the command of the Voltage, a
proof that our government prefer his statement to
that of commodore Rodgers"
1t may be remarked in excuse for this insult to
our government, that the British had not seen the
result of the American court ofinquiry in the case
But this will have had very little weight, when we
recolect that every British commander is rewarded
by promotion for his insolence aud insults upon our
ag and national sovereignty, for which in reality
premium or bounty is paid to every agtressor We
can only hope, that in future cases, the American
officer may be able to put his antsgoust out of the
reach Of promotion. Gcollrr6;cn.
