These papers rep'i-sent the Turks as being in high tqjiiitsal the u-treat of the English squadron from before Constantinople, of which there is now no longer any doubt.

It is said that in repassing the Dardan elles rear admiral Louis and viceadmiial Duck vvmth had been dangerously wounded, and re port 1 stated that admiral Louis died in conse quence. Two F.nglish couriers are said to have been arrested, having in their possession the corespondent e ot the Lnglish minister Arbuth jiot, with his dragoman, and the Ftiglish con sul who resides at Bucharest. This con espon denco. is said to ejiresent the itiissians in a desperate situ uion whilst llie Turks aie in the highest spiiits.

H e have now submitted to the public the speech, which, in the good limes ol our i onsti tuiioii, we should hate said the ministers oi tile king had advised his majesty to make : And were it not lor the doctiine Liu tiown hy those ministers, “ thd the king cotiiu act hy hiuiseli without the advice ol responsible poi sons,” we stiould coiisider tliis speech as that of bis ministers—l localise we behove “ the king can do no wrong 1 ’ I he revei.se ol that axiom enabled a sangui nary and atrocious faction to bung one sove reign to the si atloid. in spite thcrelore ol the doctrine ol ** praise G ci, bate bones, anti ol .ur. Feiccval, we will abide by the old princi ples ot the constitution, and consider toe king’s speech as the act ul his ministers. With this prelace, we cannot hut characte rise the step oi dissolution, mid the grounds on which it is attempted to he justified, us the most wicked attempt whicn has ever, in the most profligate times, been made by the sei vants ot the ciowu against the constitution and the liberties of the countr^i His majesty is made to say, that he ha* avui - ed himself of the first moment to “ eiosc the present session, without inconvenience to the public business 1” The whole of the Irish customs will expire on the sth of July next ; and the parliament cannot be re-assembled time enough to ie-cn act them! ! The appropriation bill has not been brought in ; and a mass of public business, to wiiich the parliament stood pledged, remains still un thought of! ! Upwards of two hundred private bills were yesterdav in theii dilfercnt stages upon the ta bles of the two houses of parliament. ‘1 he in terests of above two mil.ions ol property were involved in these hi.is ; the expenccs upon which are now thrown tgion those who brought them in, who have the comlort of knowing ; that “ they may begin again !” This, therefore, is doubtless the first “con venient moment” for dissolving parliament. His majesty’s minisiers have observed “with satisfaction, the inquiries which have taken place into subjects connecied with the public economy.” The result of those inquiries it has been their study to crush, and the benefit of them their endeavor to repel! The instil ing mockery of this complaint, can only be equalled by ttc unblushing effront ery of those who have made it. They knew that ll is coimnitteTof finance had detected public peculation to an enormous u tnount, which they knew would have implicat ed in its exposure, some ot their dearest friends and connections! ! They knew that a further discovery of jrub lic plunder was upon the eve of being brought to light, w hich would have involved personages high in station and in office !! They knew* that this committee had resolved to make their report upon one of these public defaulters yesterday; and that its chairman actually held that report in his hand, at the bar of the house of commons—at the moment when with unprecedented haste, the black lod sum moned them to the house oi lords ! ! The labors, therefore, of that committee were frustrated, and his majesty remained sat isfied w'th the enquiry ! ! It is not to be wondered at, that tins was found lobe the most “convenient” momen, to dis solve the present p irliamcnt by ministers, whose nerves were nerves of Steele, and who danced the puppies of a certain noble lord! His majesty earnestly recommends a spirit of “union, harmony and good-will and trusts that the divisions occasioned by an “ v ncalled for agitation” of the Catholic question, “ will pass away 1” From this phrase, we should in deed be inclined to believe, that this act was the act of the king, and not of his ministers. We can easily believe, that his majesty would be anxious to hold up to the contempt, the ab horrence, and the detestation of his people, ministers who, in times line these, after the bill for amending the situation ol dissenters was given up in obedience to the wishes of the kind ; after the effects which they have wit nessed from the iinnei essary agitation of reli gions questions ; would have presumed to have swindled the country out of their offices under false pielcnccs ; and who now are anxious, for the purpose of retaining those offices, to renew the horrors of those scenes which, in tbe year 1780, disgraced and terrified the country ! He might have been anxious, too, to have expres sed his own indignation at the conduct of those who, individually and collectively, having pledged themselves to the concession of the full extent of the Catholic demands, now dare to appeal to the people, against those whose object it was to enable all classes in the coun try to unite in one common effort in its de fence ! /f’o doubt not, but his majestiy’s ministers are anxious, that those divisions shall pass away provided thev continue lor. c *enough to influ ence the new election. FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER. Rr flections relating to the aggressions of Grcat- Jiritain, in ‘He commercial and maritime right ‘ of the United hiatus. The public fervor was scarcely allayed foi the insults and injuries received from the Brit j-h captain Whitby—the death of Pearce was stnl unuttoned, when the letter ofcapt I.ove at C harleston again deservedly excited much attention, and became the occasion of many itriiaiks, both in j.ubiic prints, arid private cir cles; nor was thete an Ameiican whose soul L capable ot being animated with pioptr sen timents for the honor of his country, w ho could fail to feci an irresistable burst t f indignation, as well at the style, as at tbe object which were ac knowledged by the writer. Such lceiings as these night surely excite a great deal cl merited censuie, and captain Love might be peurtrayed in terms of vindic tive detraction. But ol what avail would he tht severest tensities towatds ibis humble instrument ot wit l ed masters ? Captain Love is no moie than one of many authorised agents, in the paitial execution oi a gieat insulting, ty rauical and oppies ivc svsleni, wlmh though it may sometimes slumber, novel sleeps. It is the same system which was asserted at Copen hagen by eison, at Constantinople by Duck worth, Hid no doubt, tonus a part of the educa tion and oiders ol cvci y British naval comman der. It is a system of injustice arid u urpation upon the ocean, in opposition to the equality of commercial rights, and in violation of the just claims and reasonable privileges of all other nations. W bile temperate and pacific men were en deavouring to find excuses and palliatives for the cow: ict ol the captains Whitby and Love, and the public indignation was about to subside, while we were llatteiecl with the allurements ol peace anti reconciliation, another more ag gravated instance of wanton and unpiovoked injury and it.suit has been offered even to our own flag —even our national independency in in sult and ! Wt r, it is true, is not declared, but it is waged. Our trigate C hesapeake. just upon our own coast has been attacked without provocation or no tice, by a superior toice, and has been compel led to strike our Jlag within our own maritime jurisdiction. This attrocious deerii has been perpetrated by captain Humphries of the ship Leopard. And for what? because commodore Barron of the Chesapeake had refused to allow a search to be made by British officers for Bri tish subjects. This being refused, Humphreis, without further ceremony commenced an at tack and did not desist until the commodore was wounded, many of the seamen killed and disabled, and the ship greatly injured. Thus it has happened, that the public interests of this country have been obstructed, our fellow citizens killed, our ship disabled, our flag insult ed, and our independency invaded. No American who lias ever felt or can feel the natural glow which is excited by a love of country, will after this occasion require further excitements to demand just and immediate at tonement. A e not these accumuluted inju ries and insults too great for excuses or pallia tives ? W e can have, we ought to have, but one feeling, we ought to acknowledge but one sentiment. The ques’ion of national in dependency, as well as honor, aie now to be considered, and if there be any, who ate capable of adjuring the just incentatives of either, let them go hence, let them abdicate that country which has been purchased bv tbe blood of he roes and patriots; let tneni claim protection, and seek habitation among those who profane the attributes of humanity justice and civili zation ! But why make this apostrophe ? there can be none, no, not one. so degrading in his own mind, or so uncli ritable as to o thers, who can doubt, that tqion this question, all Americans will have hue one .sou. J It will be enquired, what are the particular causes which have led to these disti esses ? Wh at are the inducements which tempt the British to wage an unjust anti unprovoked war, not only against our commerce, but against our public ships ai.d servants ? This question will be fully answered by an examination of some coliatuial circumstances now about lobe unfolded. About the time when captain Love’s indeco rous letter was written, the English and Anglo American prints, daily published songs of tri umph and paragraphs of exultation, on account of some assumed success of the Russians over the French armies. They announced that the latter were not only defeated, but routed—that the death-dealing, semi-barbarian Russians as sisted by the savage, ruthless blood-stained Cos sucks, pursued the fugitive French, with the vigilence of Ltnxes, the swiftness of Eagles, the fury of Fiends, and the ferociousnes ol'Cani bals. They even boasted that French prisoners vv ere dragged by the hair of their heads thro* rivers covered w ith floating ice in the most in clement season of the year. They asserted that such of the grand army as had escaped the sword, famine and pestilence were hastening from Poland to Prussia, from \\ arsaw to Berlin, not to glean the spoils due to victories or to enjoy the benefits of their successes, but as fugitives, as a flying rabble wiiliot order or hopes. Such were the tales of misrepresentation. Such have been the despicable fabrications of the vicious rulers of a deceived and magnani mous nation. And why have these descriptions been promulgated? why has the nation and its adherents been duped to confide in such mon strous untruths? you must go to London for an answer and there it will be found in the late and sudden changes in the administration ofth.it government. When Dundass and Cos. so famed for their ! political misdeeds, as well as injustice to the t’nited States, were about to take the helm of state.it was natural for those who recollected the past to anticipate the resentment and afier vescence of an injured, oppressed and deceiv ed people. The new rulers were aware of this, and very prudently endeavored to avert the public indignation from themselves to other objects of great interest and importance. By these n cans they have avoided the tumults and disorders which would have succeeded the public discontents. They have fabricated and promulgated gratifying illusions, while they well knew that counteracting truths won id slowly ippro. ch the people’s understanding ; anti thus it is. Dundass and Cos. have establish ed themselves in power. The people of England entertain a national hatred against France and Fienchmen. They dread stid deprecate the successes of Bona parte ; tney cast their eyes from coast to coast ; they sud every where a warlike numeral s md initatel j eople, indignant at the many insults and injaries which they believe tohavelevn commuted, and the peop e of i ngland fear that Emaparte, because the nation of which they art component parts, has imposed injuiii s upon tint nation over which he presides, which civ aloul for vengeance. The destruction of Bonaparte, they believe, would close these melancholy scenes, would it*move the causes of fear and immediate dan ger. The delusion is therefore, propagated and cherished by all the means which can L© employed. It becomes to them a then c of exulta.ion and joy, and afiotds a temporary pa nacea to the nation, for the injustice of their rulers and the fears of the enemy. Hence it is, that the new rulers of England avert the public indignation from themselves to the pub lic enemy. Such ate the causes tc which the deceptions publications are imputable. By these means ‘ it is likely that captains Love and Humphries n.av have been misled, ana allured to peiiorm those deetls, which will lot ever attach oblo quy and reproach, not only to their own names, but to the honorable character of British Sailor. Love’s letter breathes the hostile temper of those by whom he was employed, towards the people and government of the U nited States, and Humphries has completed the drama which was begun by the other. If the destruction of the French army should take place, according to the hopes of those who propagated such ridiculous falsehoods, ac cording to the wishes of the enemies of gene ral political justice and equality of national pri vileges and maritime tights ; if there neither existed a powerful French army nor a victo rious Bonaparte ; if France afforded a n:elun choly and frightful picture, such as existed in the days of anarchy and terror, then should we be annoyed and insulted by many others such as Love and Humphries, then might we de plore that unfortun; te destiny which had ex posed our sea-ports and sea-rights to the insults and plunderings of an insatiable and implaca ble ioe. Then should we partake of the 10-ve und kindness ofthat power, which has embroil ed Lui ope in feuds, disputes ai:d wars, and has arrayed the inhabitants from the extremes of Asia and Europe in destructive combats. In spite of all this the genius and fortune of Nopolcon has vet prevailed. His successful course, his victorious career has not been stopt by elements, by seasons, by maladies or by op posing multitudes, and ferociousness has yiel ded to civilization. But we aie now told that the emperor Alex ander intends once moie to tiy his fortune. Has he forgotten Attsterlitz ? Or doth he ex pect that in case of another overthrow to ex perience further instances of clemency and li berality, that he may again wage another un provoked war—again to set the continent of Europe iii a blaze ? How much better would it have been for his own glorv. as well as for the happiness of his people, it this young and imprudent prince had devoted his time, talents and resources to the cultivation of arts and science, to the promotion of population, industty and public happiness ? No man ever had n.ore in his power. Nothing was necessary but to say “it shall be and Russia instead of sinking into the horrors of war, would have emerged into honorable and happy conspicuousness. Instead of cannon, drums, death-bells and national mourning, eve ry where paeans and songs of gladness, mirth and festivity would have testified the feelings of a happy and prosperous people. But why lament the fate of the miserable Russians, is there not enough to excite us to feel for our selves ? \\ ill not the violations of Whitby, Love. Humphries &c. once more unite every patriotic American as a band of brothers. If these view sand sketches be correct. If the conduct of captain Humphries is justified by the government of Great Britain, or if it shall not be severely punished, it must be ob vious that the tranquility of this country will greatly depend upon the events of the war in Europe. In either way the prospect is disa greeable ; because if France shall lie com pletely successful, then the influence of France may be extended over the rest of Europe. If the French armies shall be compelled to re treat and to return to France not for triumphs but for safety, not to give civilization and hap piness to the north and east of Lurofe, but to oppose the course of vandalism and desolation, then will the peace and tranquility of the Uni ted States depend upon the caprice and injus tice of those who have and will take every op portunity to oppress our people and molest our rights. 1 hese pictures are seldom exa mined. It is a pity that the American politi cians would not more seriously contemplate the beauties of the one and the horrois of the other. But let our opinions relating to the war in Europe be w hat they may, in this we shall all agree. “ United we can nianf, divided ve
