WHAT'S NEW ATTuE CAPITOL,
The news OF the day is, ms for some weeks past
tJuu " Svdr--now the British packet Cleaner,
lately arrived ut Annapolis, has brought dispatches To
the British ambassador, oil iake Gate us tie 29th
january, and public advices to the 4th February
Size brings the system OF the cabinet of the prince
regent, ior The government OF Mr.. Foster, and in
structions concerning the course lch e is TO pur-

MIR. Foster is nstructedto doc,arel explicitly to

that the French DEGREES not believed to be. res

This we place FIRST in the order of facts because
u Is the foundation of all the measures which ac.
Icompanyit. A paper ut Baltimore, which appears
20 have the condolences at the agents of England aud
no doubt due rccompensc for its services n few
days ago stated that MIR. Foster had made certain
intmations, and required answers to certain ques-
ions propoinded to our government I'VE did mo-,
give crect to the report, we had supposed that the
editor OF that paper calculating on the practice o.,
european courts in cases of military preparation
had assumed the fact in anticipation We find. how
ever, that there was something more than conjecture
| in the matter.
We learn from very respectable source that Mr..
roster has made representations leading TO mea.
sures OF hostile character that he has siSniied that
information has been received of numerous MGR
ehantmcn OF the U. States, arrning with an intent
to force trade with nations to wlieh British com
merce is not admitted; that the government of En-
gland requires to know if such armament are au
| thorised; aud that authority so given would bo
considered by q. B. as act Of hostility.
Furthermore, that the reasons pursued by the con
gress of the o. States for the ne !. ~ M;
tary force OF upwards of 10000 men, conneoted
with the declarations publicly made in congress- of
the purposes OF that military force, had compelled the
British government to demand the real object and
purpose oil those military preparations.
lna separate communication, what relatea IN ,ba
determination not to resond the ordcry i'm counc
! was made known.
| These facts reach US from a source in which wa
repose entire confidence, and by which we have me-
yer been deceived AS snch we give it tn our read
ers, and consider entitled to every attention tho,
the Crisis calls for.----17urora
