ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.

!. ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The ship CALEDONIA BRANDER, Captain
NICHOLSON, was boarded yesterday by our
News Schooner, before she had taken
pilot. We are indebted to the Captain for
London papers Of the Sd and Liverpool OF
the 9Th ultimo, being one day later than the
last received.
From England, with the exception Of the
Commercial and Shipping intelligence, there
Is nothing requiring comment. The snow
storm which had been felt there SO severely,
had extended to Holland, and had done con-
siderable damage at Amsterdam and Haar-
lem. A report prevailed at the former
place, that dyke in North Holland had
burst its correctness had not been ascer-

q The gradual change in the public scnti.

which il is impossible for the statesman of
the present age to behold without solid ap-
probation, or the philosopher and philanthro-
pist without tho most benevolent delight.

not unnatural evaporation produced by
successive wars, between the two govern.

indulge themselves id spirit of inveterate
dislike towards the western republic, her
institutions, interests, prospects, manners,
proceedings, as well as towards the charac-
1ers of her most distinguished citizens.
This Jealous antipathy seemed to have taken
a stubborn possession of the English mind,
and to have mingled itself with the whole
current of our national tastes and instincts;
nor can we assert with truth that such an
nnkindly disposition had been justly provok-
ed by the people of North America. Its
manifestation was embit.ered to their re-
membrance by the frequent expressions OF
contempt with which it had been accom-
panied. Our travellers, soldiers, sailors,
polticians-all pitched their voices in the
same abusive key, until at length cores
ponding tone was heard TO murmur from
America and even so recently as ten
years ago, both nations appeared conscious
of nothing more than of those hateful con-
tests wherein they had split each others
blood, forgctful that they had been rocked
. in the same cradle, and that the same mother
had nourished them.
No good man can have seen without deep
qualification the progressive, and latterly
very rapid, amendments, on both sides, OF
that baneful temper--a change which even
the most seeptical has not questioned, nor
the coolest or least generous calculator, in
either country, shown inclination to repel.
While the growth and multiplication OF

fruits of that complex, continuous, and
