sci off the Capcs. He has politely furnished
us with paper, containing London dates to
May 90, but whichis principally occupied with
the examination, trial and execution OF Bel
Insbarn, the murderer OF Mr. Perceval. In
consequence of the death OF Mr.. PerceVal,
here hao been necessarily some changes In
The administration. Lord Liverpool bad been
called to the head of the treasury, and Mr.
y ansittart to act as chancellor OF the exche-
ouer. Marquis Wellesley and Mr. Canning
refused to enter into any arrangement with
the present ministry; as also had earl MORA.
The king continued to enjoy uninterrupted
bodily health; no amel Grafton or modlhcatlon
of the orders In council had been determined
on; nor had there been any important chan
ges in the political character OF England.
With Characteristic ilberality, the parliament
had provided iortbe education and support OF
Mr. Perceyal's t4fnily and iorlhe erection OF
a monument TO MS memory

A Londonderry article OF May %, states
that a severe and oanton impressment had
been made in that port, by lieut.. Morgan, OF
the schr Barbara; that the occurrence had
excited considerable emotion III the town, as
the circumstatc cs attending ii were OF all IN
iustifable and Iawless character
Euecution Of Bellngham .-This unhappy
man was executed ON the 2Ist of May, without
the occurrence Of any tu'nult, or the express
sion of any other sentiment than that OF pity
for his dtlusicn. He endeavo'ed 10 the last
moment Of his existence, to justify the act
which caused his unumely end. He dlsa-
vowed all personal ennlity towards Mr. Per-
ceyal, and even lamented that he had fallen
in his way instead of Lord Leveson Cover
whose life he most arder;ly sought; but the
Justice and propricty Of syenslng his private
grievances by the assassination OF some OF his
maiesty's ministers or servants, was unaltera-
bly, rooted in his mind.

70 New London and one to New Haven, and
there 10 be put under the command OF the
officers of the United States at those places

received the reGuisition, was setting out on
tour to the Springs for his health, put OFT bis
Journey and despatched expresses to the
members of his councilin different parts OF the
state, with ORDERS to meet him III Hartford Oh
Monday. The council convened accordingly,
and having approved of the prompntude OF
the executive in having ordered the drafts OF
the militia, agreeably to the laws OF congress,
the following questions arising out OF the re-
QUESTION made by gen. Dearborne were theh
submitted for consideration by the governor

t;roencies enumerated In the constitution,

The council impressed with the great I'M
nortance of these questions, seriously ana DC
Iherately examined them, and the following

,. Thus, we may perceive at a glance, IN
the order otJune %, suppOSing permissiC
2 20 import British goods, and the war to pr,
vail, would, with respect to Great Britain
ohen an immense marker for tie safe ofhr
manufactures, SgllhOHt LeSseamg- her nytvi
leSe of CAPTURE. And in this lies the GUN
MING OF this new order of pretended revoca.
ton; for, ii we purchase British goods dur
ing the war to the amount which such state
OF things would throw in upon us, the profits
accruing to the British would be equal to
their cost OF the war, and in this way. we
should De furnishing the enemy with funds
! to enable him to fight US
And what vessels would be employed in
| this trade? American vessels, sailing UNI
der British licenses in time of war was such
thing ever heard of before? Our MEa
CHANTS 7,ouid Be NEUTRAL, and all the
rest Of the nation engaged IN hoSiiAtieS
Surely such condition of atf;lirs can, at no
time, be tolerated.
Upon the whole, we may pronounce with
safety, that the order of June 2S, as it now
stands, offers nothing worthy OF acceptance;
thatit does not meet the acquisitions demand
ed for an abrogation of the non importation
law; and that if it did, the President ought
not to repeal it, even if the repeal were com
pdtiOIe WIKI the war
Experience, in truth, shows, that non-im-
portation is the most eifectual weapon we can
Weld against the British: 1t diminishes their
finances; it brings their population to the
verge of revolution, which, i'm time. must
work we'll for the u. States Let no man
say such reasoning is ungenerous: Great
britain operates upon our government
through the tories and leading federalists
here; why should VIC not pinch her subjects
so that that they may clamor i'll England for
our benefit
In fine, let the United States pursue the
war; let them Continue the prohibition of
British goods; let them be true to them
selves; and then they will finally obtain peace
upon the only terms on which it can be dura-
bly, made, to wit:
l. Absolute revocation of the orders in
council.
3. D1utua! calculations against ih1ress-
ment.
| 3. Adherence to the British definition of
the law of blockade.
At any rate, let the American govern
ment accept no hollow truce, nor counte-
nance an edIct that asserts the supremacy
of Britain.
| One pleasant reflection however breaks
in npon us. The charm of anti-neutral G.
diets is broken Something nay grow out
OF 1t. there has evidently been much con
fusion in the English cabinet on the occa-
sion; and the debates in parliament will
shew that the minds of ministers were
much shattered in relation to their former
policy.

AN ODIOUS COMPARISON.

During nine years of destructive aid ex-
pepsive war, originated and prosecuted in d
spirit nt Jealousy and ambition, the people
of England have remained true to the hon

bending beneath an enormous load of taxes,
their commerce reduced to a skeleton, their
manufactures perishing on their hands, their
circulating medium deprecated, thousands of
them suffering for the bare necessaries of life.
and the whole country exhibiting AN appear
ance OF poverty and dismay. Still the natl
onal spirit remains unbroken--and though
war is the immediate cause of all their Ca
lamities, not voice is heard in the whole
united Kingdom in favor of peace, upon any
other than equal and honorable terms. How
deporably different is our case Yes, al
mong people who pride themselves upon
their supereminent patriotism and national
spirit, there exists PARTY who would ia
crihce the honor and independence of their
