Relations ,cith Great Britain.-A runior, which
was first published in the Mercantile Advertiser that
negotiation about to be opened with Great Bri-
tain the subject of the Tariff, with view mutual
CONFESSIONS has given rise 10 multitude OF remarks
in different papers of which, sorry 10 say
appear have borrowed colorin from the pre-
objections of the writer's in relation to the late Presden-
Sia election.
How much foundation there is for the rumor does
not exactly appear: blu, as it has no, been explicitly de-
MED by the government paper" at Washington, OIL
slough definite reply has been urgently solicited, the
inference 10 be. that something Of the kind is
the wind" and that MIR. McLane goes to England
with instructions suited to the nature of the proposed
arrangement.
Now we think the idea OF such compromise should
not be boo,ed at until the subject is fairly examined
on the principles of loss and gain /, is idea which
had occurred 20 many minds prior TO any public init
Ilaon the subjec and this proves that il is not
Ear fetched as some gentlemen seem 10 imagine.
The frat question is, what would be the policy Of
government the subject Of the Tariff independently
of any foreign considerations whatever. Considering
the small majority by which the bill originally pass
Ell. and the strong revulson of public sentiment since,
can any one doubt be lie friend or enemy to the Tariff
that will be essentially modified, probably the
sc ssion OF Congress at oil events soon?-To this
result appears inevitable
In the next place, then why should not, in rera-
cling step which have found injurious ourselves
give opportunity TO Great Britain to do the same The
non intercourse between the United States and Brit
ssh West Indies, although it depriyes of So OOO,-
900 $3000,000 direct trade per annum, is probably
disadvautageous 20 British interests than
own. All these islands have commodities for which they
must find a market somewhere, and the exclusion OF
the u. States must of course create diminuton Of
demand, aud therefore reduction in price They are
also in constant want OF numerous productions from the
u. States, which 20 them cheaper by direct
navigation than through the medium OF other ports and
may well be purchased Of an American, as Of Dane
Colombian.
Then there is the subject of the Corn Laws; which
almost, and generally quite, prohibition of
American grain The present distress in England con-
Deced with the low price Of labor and the high price OF
has produced strong impression the public
mind in that country that these Laws cessariy
severe; although admit that the votes which have
been taken the subject in Parliament do not favor
the idea OF an immediate repeal Still, il is by no means
improbable that England would admit the subject 70

Mr.. Peel frankly stated in the House of Commons on

Some objections have been started against the pro.

There never was more favorable opportunity to adj.
;ust the commercial difficulties between the two coun
tries than the present. Both probably convinced
by this time, that their true interest Is to make war
npon each other in the aGiirs Of trade but 10 remove
needless restrictions, and establish their relations on
scale, nearly possible, Of exact reciprocity. The
induction OF General Jackson into the Office Of Pres

fair and honorable terms, and with prospects of mutual
