THE TPE.iTY. When Mr. Jefferson returned the treaty to England, the British agents predicted war as the only consequence that conk! possibly follow. At that time we told them they would be as much mistaken as ever, and that Britain dare not go to war. If. indeed, it weie its interest to wage war upon us, the return of the treaty would have been the nlgnui for its commence ment—our remark was, *• She wit declave war the moment the rejection of the treaty is announced, or not at all.” The rejection has been announced, we find, and a ifi.fi rs remain as they did, before the in stru i er.t was agreed upon bv the ministers. The attention:- paid by he nercha; ts, to Mr. Monroe, is a criterion of tiieir sentiments on the existing citcomshtnces of the two ountiies ■ — iiey know full well the in.pottanre of A: le rica, in supplying rw maleiials, and the con sumer of these mate i .ls, when maiifaclurcd ; and they know, th t without the intervention of American neutral ships, the manufactures 1 of .’• g>and could gain adu.iaatice no where but in the colonies. Those merchants are explicit in their senti ments they express an earnest and well found ed desire for harmony—-not that they care for us, but because peace will be to their inter est; it they were less dependent upon us, tiiey would be anxious for the desuuctiuu of our commerce. What is the interest of the merchants of England, is equally that of the manufacturer, and must be consulted by the ministry. I’hose, who talk of war, wish to deceive the American people, to prevent their complaints of existing wrongs, and their efforts to obtain redress. ‘l'hiere is no sincerity in what they bay —war w* .<> bate followed the passage of tie* non-importation act, and it was to nave fol lowed the rejection of the treaty —but peace prevails still, and we venture to sav evil! be un in -erupted, unless madness shall drive the British nation to ruin. We are perpe unify told of the injuries of War, as if they were coveted, and then we are asved how we cou and carry on hosti iiies. We will answer this question, by mentioning some of the consequences. Tats payment of the funded debt might be Suspended. A heavy taxation upon manufactures, from whatever nation imported ; for the United Siates Cali at present produce every article ne cessary tor die support, clothing, and comfort of i.s inhabitants. fine condscution of every debt owing direct ly ogi i tircctly to Britain ; of all property in the barms, he id directly or indirectly by British subjects ; and of every acre of land belonging to companies or indiriduals ; in fad the seiz ure of British property of every sort and de&- cription. it would be no argument that the property is pi ivate, as has been u.ged by some of our federal wiseacres ; the property the British confiscate in their ware houses and harbors, even before war is declared, is universally pri vate. These would be among the measures to be resorted to, to meet the expences and los es of a war. Hostilities with any nation we de precate, but it is to a lsvver British agents, when they ask questions, hat we consider he mat ter. i'lie idea of war with England, we ho,d up to ridicule—we must Calculate the means and not regard die threats of Britain, on this p iat.— Aurora. It would be a pity not to preserve the follow ing vji :cdo e, which displays so much ol tat accuracy of observation which is known to he one of the characteristics ot our red bretheren of the west —bunion /,u/ier. “ ,in Indian, upon his return home to his hut one day, discovered that his venison hud been sto.en lifter takiu 0 his observations upon tiie spot, he set oh” in pursuit ol the thief, whom he tracked through the woods. After go ing sqme distance he met some persons, of whom he enquired, if they had not seen a li - tic old while man, with a short gun, and accom panied by a mrull dog with a bob-tail? They re replied in the attr. illative, and upon the Indian assuring them that the man rims described had stoien his vension, he is desired to be informed how he was able to give such minute descrip tion of a person whom it appeared he had not seen. The Indian answered thus—the thief I know, is a bale man, by his having made a piie of stones to stand upon in order to reach the venison from the height I hung it, stand ing on the ground—that he is an old man, i know by his „■hort steps, which I have traced oveir-riie dead leaves in the woods; and that he is a white man, 1 know by his turning out his toes when he walkes, which an Indian ne ver does ; his gun I know to be nhort , by the mark which the muzzle made by nibbing th bark of me tree ag.inst which it had leaned ; that his ciog is nmail , I know by his tracks ; and that he has bib-tail, I discovered bv the mark it made in the dust where he was sitting at ihe rime his master was taking down the meat.” In the Senate of the United States, fire members, nearly one-sixth p rt. are gentlemen of-he name of Smith —This circumstance in duced a f.,ce i jus Philadelphian to observe that in future, instead of asking what is on the tapis, we must ea pure, what is on the anvil.

Captain King conti, ms all the particulars of the capture of Montevideo ; and adds, that thee would be but little difficulty in re-capturing Buenos Ayres, which would be attempted as soon as the ex pected reinforcements at lived. It appears th .1 the Spaniards were very much dishearten ed alter ti e fall of Montevideo, because tiiey thought themselv es perfectly secure within the strong walls of that place. It will he recollected that, accot cling to our last accounts, the British had sent a part of their troops against Colotiia, which is about 3 ) reagues to the westward of Montevideo. This place, captain King informs us, thev took vvi'hou tri ring a gun. Ihe Spaniards laid down their arms at the first summons, and 500 British troops entered that place about the fifteenth of March. | PROVIDENCE, May 30.
