THE AUTHOR OF THE CRISIS.
O. Since the above written, Pace TN h1,oi.-
Gofe Peace LA. descended to bless country Tine
can never obliterate the OF gratitude the s-
liant spirits who have for us.tIs tn the proud n
Arrogant nation, with whom have been contentng,
we shall be ready to ILL the sword, wheu she repeats
ever she dares repeat, her sggrtssions. We may o,
gre the eornities which she has pracsed during the
war--we can never forget them.
n short Rehiy--" What have we gained
by this war - said one of your captious Fed
eral Politicians the other day" I'll tell you
what we have gained, said Republican. If
we had gained nothing else, we have gained
that which yon would have lost us by remain
ing in mean submission to the insolence ofth
enemy-A good nomr--We were kicked &
cuff d about, till we were becoming the scorn
OF the whole world, and what was worse,
Of your own Party. You said, we could not
be kicked INFO war-And, now how
do we stand If we had failed, You
ought to have been the last persons in
the world to have said one word against
1t, because you were guilty of every trick and
atrocity tn bind up our hands, to defeat the
success OF the war, and to prevent us from
giving Won an honorable peace. But we have
succeeded in spite of You. And how do we
stand! Higher on the rolls OF fame than ever
Admired and elevated in the eyes of
the whole world. Is Mis nothing We
sheathed the sword when the causes of
war had ceased-But is our good name
nothing Is our Glory nothing9 And vet
you ask what we have gained ? Would you
rather that we should have groveiled in the
TnTe OF submission, than have lowered like
the eagle, in the blaze of glory'"
" letter Of the 9TH Inst. has been re-
ceived from n. Orleans-All our prisoners
had been exchanged, except about 100 Sea-
men. who had been sent to Jamaica-the
British ships were filled with wounded-and
the troops were on 2-3ds allowance, they ex-
pecting an easy prey and cop:ous 6ooty in
provisions at n. Orleans.
ALGlERS.-It is reported, land we would
fam hope correctly that our government
mean to fit out a powerful Expedition a.
gainst the Pirates of Algiers--Commodore
Rodgers in the flag shp-that Hull, Balm
bridge, and our brilliant list of Naval Heroes,
will accompany him, with the 2 74's, frigates,
transports, &c.
The public gazette of the Belgian city of
Ghenf, of the Goth of Dec. enters with much
interest. &C strong evidences of affection X re-
spect, into the business of our late pacihcation
1t literally considers the treaty as honorable
to US and to e. Britain, & speaks of it as the
n,erited reward of American enerey g t1tbl,c
shn1t. This is very impressive style. in a city
which has witnessed all the proceedings, had
then read all the published correspondence,
is destined tor the government of a respect
able connexion of the English Royal family,
and near to which an army Of 20 to 10000
men, under the direction of Lords yelling
ton, Hill, &c. was at that time CHARTERED.
