MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Philadelphia Gazette. THE UNITED STATES AND ENG
 TAND

LeA-tis
 The New Monthly Magazine for Oc-s tober contains long article in repl, to Capt. Basil Hall, from the pen of MT. Cooper, the American novelist. Itconcludes as follows:
 "The tone of Mr. Hall, in speaking of our navy is good, but he says the dis cipline is more severe than in his own, and he accounts foritb by aproccss which IS greatly in favorin Europe, and which is a chief reason why Europe knows so little of America. He says the insub ordinate habits of the people, with their ideas of liberty and equality, require a strong arm to bring them to the neccs- sary training at sea! This is an opin- ion, and not so easily disposed of as his facts, but in my opinion it is equally err roneous. Here is what Iconceive to be the truth. The Navy of the U. States was created in l797, at the time when the navigation of the United States had a forced and unnatural increase, dur ing great European war. The off cers were taken from the merchant ] ships. The latter had not the habit of military command, and like all new be- , sginners, their ideas were exaggerated. In addition to this leading fact, the men were of all nations, including the most Aproaigate of our own; for it was rare, 3n q time of peace, that good, sober American seaman would ship in a ves- sel of war. Perhaps such crews re- quired stronger arm than common.- An American officer could not send his boat, and take tue best man out of a merchant ship as is done in England, ,but he was obliged, at time when good sailors in merchant ships were receiving from twenty to thirty dollars month, to accept such as offered. A short time after the war with England had com menced, first rate American crews offer ed, and the hand of authority immedi- a.ely became lighter. In short. every seaman knows, that of his class, there is no sailor more easily governed by req son and kind treatment than an Ameri- can. Itisinthe nature of things. The people have the same order, or even more than other nations, with far less personal restraint, and why should their habits and characters change because they have gone on ship-boarda
 s'It would require book as large as his own properly to dissect the three volumes of Mr. Hall. l must repeat, that so far as acts are concerned, he is constantly in error, and from that sort of misconception which is nearly inse- parable from the different habits of the two countries. You will remember that a yearin America is not like ayearl ;n F.anec q. EE.ag!a..:aa One inay.seez a great deal of most countries in year, but the size of the United States. the scattered nature of its population, and the time which is unavoidably wasted on the road, diminishes the period of ob- servation there greatly.
 "Mr. Hall has been innocently enough misled in another particular. He was in America when the people were struggling to turn out an unpopular cab met. Now had he visited in any time between 1915 and 1893, he would
