he country might be compromised ; that
il behooved England in case of contro-
versy with the United States, to have N,
''vantage ground" which she would no;
possess if she attempted to assume the cha
racter of dictator, and to interfere in
private negotiation between our cabinet
and his Catholic majesty. With regardto
the conduct of gen. Jackson, although il
was stigmatised as barbarous and cruel, II
was maintained that this was case III
which ministers could not interfere. 1t was
contended that Messrs. Ambrister and Ar.
buthnot, by entering INFO the service of
foreign power, and in opposition to ma
ton with whom his majesty was at peace,
had forfeited their allegiance to their ma
tive country. The ministry therefore, co'n
not be called upon to yindicate the deati'
of these two men, who had by their own
voluntary act renouuced their allegiance.
This is broad outline OF the debate, ana
we will venture to ask whether the Eng
lish ministry would have observed the same
caution and delicacy of discussion, ii any
European government had given rise to
such an investigation we firmly believe
that they would not; that Great Britain at
the present noment, maniiests more reiuc-
lance Ito use the mildest term to provoke
a controv ersy with the United States than
with any other power on the face OF the
globe. Let any one who doubts this aston
ishing fact, contrast the language Of their
parliamentary orators, aha their public
writers before, at and after the late war
with America. twas this holiness al the
outset O! this controversy, and this delicacy
observed afterwards, that changed the
whole complexion of our national charac-
ter. The American eagle was slumbering
until that moment; but hardly had he a.
wakened before he was glttering in the
armament with that glorious constellation
by which his head was adorned: bis VIC
torious CRY was heard from atar, and the
tnunderbolt in his talons sparkled with a
lustre more terrific. New fiedged and new

above their heads, he knows, he feels, that
his home is the heavens, and he disdains
any other answer to their cries, than 10 as

Some reports have come to hand in
rather more authentic form than have yet
been presented to the public, that real
conspiracy was discovered against the EN-.
peror Alexander. If this is really rue,
the plan adopted by the conspirators, that
is, TO seize the person Of that monarch and
TO confne him in one of the French pro-
vinces, as hostage for the restoration of
Bonaparte, it fairly entities them, not to
the honor Of death upon the scafo!d,
but to straight jacket, and snug resi-
