on the affairs Of this country, which will
be read with no little interest. twill be
zen that the maxims and principles In
The message of the Presidents, have been
considered, in London, in precisely the
same light that we considered them IN,
New York, and this coincidence proves,
that tIlis was the true and
only light. X. &. Post.
From the London Courier, Jan. 2.
The Presidents speech is a calm
and pacific document, drawn up,
With a flattering and self
complaisant pencil. The treaty Of
peace With this country has been
followed tjy a convention on the sub.
.iect Of commerce and the dispo-
sition manifested on this occasion
by this country leads the president
to hope, that the other subjects left
unsettled by The treaty Of peace will
be literally arranged. We hope so
too, provided liberality of arrange
mrnt does not mean sacrifice of Bril-
fish rights. The measure Of con
dining the American nation to A
msrieafi scamen may probably have
the coDciIiatory tendency alluded to,
ifany mode can be devised by which
American seamen can be distinguish !
ed from British. OF course. the
summary process by which British
seaAen we're converted into Ametis
can citizens, will be discontinued.
Permit us, however. to remark
before we conclude, that the maxims
and principles laid down by The pre-
silcut. arc the maxims snd ptinci-
pies Of tie federalists, and that the
views which his message presents Of
all the leading topics, are precisely
those which The politicians of the.
old school were turned out of Office
for entertaining.
