England and her Colonial Policy - The
Canre War.

In q very i'm portant leading article which appear
cd in one Of the principal leading journals of Lon
DON, short time since, il was laid do WI princ
pie that the United Kingdom derived more benefit
from the United States in its present position as an
independent country, than it possibly could if no
seyolu;ion had taken place, and the old thirteen
solories had remained provinces Of Great Britain.
The paper, which is looked upon as the direc-
sor Of the public MIND in that country, said in the
connection, that the interests Of England
ana those Of the United States were much
bound together, that what would injure
would njure the other, and that next to
nsurreetion in that country and the overturn-
pg Of its govern nent, nothing ild be so much
dspiored by English statesmen dissolution
Of the American Union. The reason for this
is obvious. Were the American republic 20 be dis
solved and divided into number Of petty States
and republ IS, the trade between them and every
part OF Europe would be hampered and fe.tered
With variety OF ifs and regulations th ut would
make il comparatively worthless. This can be
seen at a glance; and England, depending she
Does in this fiscal and commercial age Of the world,
sor her existence actually as a nation, would have
good reason 10 deplore such catastrophe as the
dissolution Of this eonfederaey-a calamity that
would be, in the highest degree disastrous to her,
- much go, indeed, as 1t would be to ourselves.
These sentiments uttered by the leading journal Of
England, together with the policy which has govern
"a the councils Of that country the beginning Of
he era when commerce asserted its sway king

may be considered as a renuDoiation Of the policy
which 20 long was pursued by our ancient mother
