NATIONAL ANTIPATHY.

Within the few days past, we have read the
American edition of the British work, entitled.
a Narrative the Campaigns of Baltimore.
&c" which has attracted so much attention i'm
this country. From the passages of it copied
III one of the Boston papers, the opinion was
at first generally formed that the author. a
British officer, possessed a more liberal and
candid mind than the majority of his country
men, who had chosen the United States as
the scene of their compositions-Bu as those
passages were scrutinized, they were found to
contain gross errors and msstatelnents and if
has been discovered that the other parts of
the work are liable to the same objection. In
the American edition there is an APPENDIX of
corrections and critical remarks, built upon
authentic documents, aud sufficient to guide
and protect the judgment of the American
reader
No adequate notice, however, has been TAX
en- of the general temper and drift of this Bri-
fish publication. We do not hesitate TO saw
that we regard what we have quoted rs false,
If not entirely, in every particular, at least in
the incidents which were intended TO form the
pith of each story. The British officer, if he
has not exercised lis invention exclusively.
has given distorted accounts, so colGred and
compounded as to suit what he supposed to
be the relish for the public forwhom he wrote
III VIII DC perceived III the course of an attcn-
tive perHsal OF his Narrative, that, though In
one or two, or perhaps more instances, he adj
mlts in general terms, that the Americans be-
haved with spirit in the field, and are iudiyi-
dually brave as soldiers, yet they appear in
his small episodes and his relation of partcu-
lar occurrences, uniformly rs poltroons, at
once knuyish and cruel. The impression like
" TO be left from the whole on the mind ofthe
European reader, is one eniinentIy mfavora-
bic to the American character
On some occasions the author, IN INDUCING
his acrimonious feelings towards the AmcFi-
cans, fOrgcts the important object of consist
ency in his details. Thus, in his history Of
the attack on New Orleans, he rccounts how
The commander of small party of the British
deceived q party of Americans, whom they
