RISING GLORY OF AMERICA.


While British advocates have been tanri-
eating idle excuses for the successive snrren
der of the GRcrricre, the Frohc, the Mace
donian, and she Java and have amused
the public with their foolish apologies tha',
The first had {" deJccHve mass,
The second" didnot erhect an engagement,
The third bad 4" 700 few h0nds
The fourth had " roo many rsen IN ooara.
They have endeavoured, in vain, TO detract
from the glory acqui cd by the prowess oi
our littlc,. Republican Navy, which las excit-
ed the w60der and admiration even OF Eng
Hshmen. She British Cabinet have at
length discovc iCd the true cause OF Tins rapid
destruction of rhelr naval power. Orders
have been issued from the Admiralty to all
the naval commanders, " 10 .eEeresse ana 0S-
cihGne their crcSus, at teast once a day at the
great guns on board of h's Najcsiy's ships.
The British government hay> thus othciaily,
though reluctantly, announces "e "o.''
their own wsn af discipline, and ~ S""e.'',
skill and bravery o/ tie american l0rs. n"o
by this acknowledge they have ph"
sublime compliment to our gallant commah-
Lcrs md their crews, which will not faii 10
be remembered to the latest posteriiy, and
will DC recorded by the historian ot our coun-
try, with peculiar omplacency and pride, as
an early trait Of national character, aud re-
markab!c instance OF deserved praise bcs,ow-
cd even from The mouth Of an enemy.
Since the conQucs, of the Java, the Pea.
cock has been DESTROYED and sunk, with q
skill and despatch before unknown in mari
time warfare. For her surrender, we have
not heard that any apology has yet been made,
o. attempted IN this country and we think
the good sense and magnanimity OF our enc
mics, will not a,empt to tabricate one on the
other side of the wa,ets. Indeed, the trident
Of ncp,unc i. evidently, passing from Eng

frus', that be fore half a century is elapsed II
will be borne in triumph by tho growing navy
