FReM THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE.

February 10.
The Information received here by the last
cartel from England. renders it more GER
tam than ever, that growing jealousy ex
ists between that power and her allies on
the European continent, which will either
end IN the formation of c;rfederacy Of
maritime powers against her. or i'm gene
raj peace throughout the world. The one
and the other is equally dreaded. by the
British cabinet. They have carried on the
war for 30 years against France occasional
lly Involving other nations in its calamities.
IN order to build up commercial monoh.iy
ana xayai Tyranny upon the ruined trade
and marine Of every country-and they
VIII not Consent that OTHER nations to whom
providence has been even more bouutiful
IN resources. should have ships, colonies, &
! commerce. But it such be the interests and
policy Of Britain. they are opposed to the
interests aud policy of every other power,
and especially Of the powers in the north of
Iurope. Russia, and Sweden, and Den
marx, who. as maritime powers, are bound
together by -the strongest ties, will form
the principal component elements of a mar
time coniederacy which, if Baitain does not
suh3cribs to reasonable terms of peace, will
| teach her that they have both the DISPOSE
ton and the meaas cf,humblinE her pride
! With them the United States ara connected
10y the closest and most useful relations
of commerce.
1t IS upon these grounds, that the policy
OF cu'tivating the friendship Of these pow
ers which had been began by Mr.. Jeffer son,
has been followed up by MIR. Madison.-
we arc now gathering the happy fruits of
this wise policy. VOW will recoi,ect tina, /

views OF the British cabinet that our gov

the Russian. To separate us in ne gociation
and to deprive US of the benefit Of the pow
erful interposition of the Emperor Alexap-
Ter has been. and still is, the object of that
tcablnet. But they will not only fail in it,
out excite the just resentment IF the Rus
