BRITISH ENMITY TOWARDS AMERICA.
A volume has been lately written by a British travel
ler on the‘‘colonial poiicy of Great Britain,” &c. “where
in the dangerous tendency of American competition is
developed.” 1 his bo.k being tlie chart by which tlie
Bn-ish ministry steer their course, as evinced by their
la L e measures of exclusion, it is proper that every man
be possessed of a knowledge of its principal contents.
Itso ij-et is, under the name of pe.-ce, to liaiige tlie
mode of Warf.re against us; to injure our commerce, re
tard >U1‘ national growtn, keep up jealousy, excite
groundless fears of us, and enable England .0 gain, by a
sinister poiicv, wuat sue h..s tw ice f-.iied to win by the
sword. We shall submit to our readers the spirit of this
boox wmc.i .a, been repuohsiied by Mr. Carey , with a
patriotic and judicious introduction.
Hell-ads J'rum the British Traveller.
•-If, on a review of the various nations of the world,
one should be discovered more qualified to become ;
dangerous enemy, and successful rival, possessing supe
riar means of dis initmg her defenders, decoying her ma-
nufact'.irers ..nd mechanics—what line of conduct ought
she then 10 pursue towards that state ? Should implicit
confidence be repo-.ed in such a nation? Should it be ad
mitted to a participation in her commerce, divested of
tne restraints imposed on tier own subject , and to a lu
crative intercourse with her colonies and possessions?
Should 1. be permitted to despoil her by thousands of an
industrious population, or oppose to this the encourage
ment of emigration to herown colonies ? If that nation’
frontiers’ present on ail sides paints of aggression, shoyiG
sue laii in opposing an adequate force, or in warmakfing
the most vigorouause thereof? Or should she, on'the
contrary, expose her own frontier to the danger arising
fro n wiser measures, anil more prudent conduct, on the
part of the aspiring- rival?
“ America, independent America, is precisely this na.
tion; more insiduous than any other: more dangerous as
usmg tile same language; difficult in detection in the
employment of emissaries and spies, or of inquisitions on
t'u manufactures of this country. That America is a
dangerous competitor; tnat her pretensions must be op-
Dused; and tiiat a consistent opinion has not been fonn-
c..of tlie American characterit will be the.author’s aim to
in ike apparent in the following pages, whilst he also
presumes to offer his humble opinion and advice on this
momeutous subject. If what he has to say, serve to
arouse the attention of government and tlie people, to
a.vaken inquiry, and excite to an active prosecution of
the ordinary measures of policy which are pursued in
relation to other states, he will obtain the satisfaction of
li wing accomplished the object he has in view: in a
ward, if it teach Englishmen to regard Americans in
the same point of view in which they themselves are
considered, that is, not in the light of kinsmen, but of
foreigners, aliens, lultural born Joes/”
Again, Speaking of tne gen.us of Americans:
“In surveying tlie American people, they appear to be
of ail nations die most active enterprising, patient, labor
ious, frugal, pe rsevering cautious and not deficient in in-
jgenuity. None excel them in the conduct of a lucrative
commerce, or in daring feats of seamanship; they pos
sess personal courage; are expert in the use of fire-arms;
and, traversing their forests, the American military -re
better adapted to the woody warfare of their own coun
try than European troops, whose discipline, in such situa
tions is rendered comparatively useiess; irregular troops'
being .ibte to hold veterans at bay and destroy; them at
pleasure, while they themselves rest secure am dst their
gloomy foliage.
“Such a people deserve to hold a place in our estima
tion: they possess qualities which make it necessary to
concede them a rank in the scale of the natibns, being
capable of forcing t/temselves into notice.”
lie' proceeds to paint us as sharpers and “the very
boy’s speculators:” whatever ability we have, we are
i neither a gooS, nor a great peopie. In a word, the
British emissary gives us such a character as makes us
odious and despicable: sufficiently powerful to be formi
dable, but not gre-t enough to be respectable. "Then
he treats of the various methods of her ping vs down.—
Far be it from our intent to kindle strife, or perpetuate
n.i ionai animosities: but, when an implacable government
whets the knife, and prepares the altar and the faggots to
immolate us—when this is done before our eyes, and we
are told of it, apathy would be highly criminal.
—-*■*»—
From the Berk's Schuylkill Journal.
Believing that whatever may be related further to
elucidate the magnanimity, bravery and philanthrophy
of the American seamen, will be read with pleasure, and
soui-me. for with avidity, we are induced to employ out-
pen o tlie best of our abilities, in recording facts^which
came under our immediate observation during the late
■war, and which have never been made public. The man
tle of oblivion ought not to cover deeds of heroism, and
philanthropy—nor shall it, if our capability keeps pace
with our inclination.
HORNET AND PEACOCK.
As soon as it was discovered that tne Peacock was an
' enemy’s vessel of war, captain Lawrence, immediately
gave orders to clear tlie Slip for action, and to have
three ensigns flying. Lieutenant Shubrick asked liim if
•he wouidhave the large ensign displayed. “Certainly,
sir,” replied, the Captain, “we will, at all events, give
them a glarin *mark as a target.”
VVnen tlie Peacock was about two leagues to wind
ward of the Hornet, one of the officers stept up to cap
tain Lawrence, and wished to know whether the sea
men were to have a glass of grog each, preparatory to
an engagement: “No sir,” replied the captain, “I despise
•artificial courage; the cause they fight in must be their
stimulus.” Plenty of water was provided for them, but
nothing more.
Whfen the engagement became general, a peremptory
order Was given not to waste a shot—“No firing at ran-
tii.in,” said the captain, “every shot must tell”—and
turninground he observed a seaman by tlie name of Rose,
leisurely endeavoring to open a tobacco box, which had
received a contusion by the rebounding of his gun, step,
ping up to him, he laughingly said, “Why Rose, what is
the matter, is there no work for you? “Na sir,” replied
Rose, “the enemy is too far ahead fot fne-to pop him
nowq so I thought 1 might go about repairing dam a
away, from the shortness of "the time engaged, he' re
main ded exposed to the waist for half a minute, expect
ing to see another run up—being disappointed, he im
mediately gave orders for the firing to cease, .and step
ping up, hailed the enemy, who was now within pistol
shot, and inquired whether she had struck—he was an
swered in the affirmative. This presence of mind saved
the lives of upwards of me hundred souls; for had the
enemy received another broadside, the muzzles of the
Hornet’s guns being concentrated, she must inevitably
have gone down with every soul on board, so great was
the previous damage done her.
While in tlie act of hailing the enemy, one of the sea
men plucked the captain down by hiscoat, and observed
“you’ll certainly be shot, sir, for I saw a man aiming a
musket at you.” He replied “iet me alone—I fear not
the shot, when I am in the act of stopping unnecessary
eflusion of blood.”

MISSION TO RUSSIA.
Mr. Coles, late a private secretary to the president of
the United States, bearing dispatches to the Russian go
vernment, took ins departure from this place last Wed
nesday in the United-States’ sloop of war Prometheus,
under command of captain Wadsworth. The business
to which these despatches relate is probably very urgent,
as Mr. C >les was extremely anxious to sail immediately
on his arrival in town; which leads to a conclusion that
the conjecture of the Philadelphia paper relating to Mr.
Kosloff, the Russian consul general, is without foundation.
The general government cannot interfere with tne pro
ceedings in any state court of jurisprudence.

In looking over the London Courier, we find, that the

MANUFACTURES
In the Grain and Meal Fanning Country.
We are happy to learn and announce to our readers,
that a stone bail ditig fora cotton manufactory to contain
five thousand spindles, is erecting in Philadelphia county
within four miles north of this city. It is intended for
corduroys, velvets and other stout and weighty goods.—
'The shcld or building is of stone and is completed. Tlie
whole number of spindles is expected to be in operation
in the approaching autumn. The land has beeh purchas
ed and the plan commenced, since the pe.ee. The per
manent computation of foreign manufactures of Europe
is not apprehended. The persons engaged have had se
veral years’ experience in the middle states. This cot
ton manufactory is more considerable than any erected
in the states oy the Delaware* before, or during the lute
war. A branqh of business cannot fail to succeed in this
country, which aided and conducted by means of Whit
ney’s cotton spinning mills, the steam machine loom, and
the water machine printing. If the United States were
to neglect such manufactures, they would be totally and
signally destitute of the common policy of government
and nations.—Philadelphia Democratic Press. ,
The deficit of stock, subscribed to the National Bank,
according to our latest returns was about 2,834,700 dollars

The great Marshal Soult who was said to have arrived

Some very interesting advices have been received in
this country from the interior of Germany. A great fair
for the sale of British, Netherland, German and Swiss
goods, was lately held at Frankford, on the Maine.—
The competition of qualities aud prices, was opened and
strenuous. .
The woolen branch, the manufacturers of the low
countries (or Netherlands) carried tlie palm of quality,
and the price the English. They also exceeded the Saxons,
from whom much had been expected, in the fine woolen
branch.
In tlie cotton branch the British manufacturers took
the palm, in finished goods.
But (what is very important to the landed interest of
the. United States and to the employment of our snips
and the means of remittance to the continent of Europe)
the German manufacturers were able to offer cotton
yarn and cotton twist lower.thanThe British agents. It
would seem that the know. Vtge of tlie labor-saving ma
chinery, in carding and spinning, must have been per
fectly acquired in the great German empire—the hive of
Euvo ie—the cjficinagentium.
The approaches to this great German market for our
cotton wool, including the Austrian possessions in and
near Lombardy and Venice, are Trieste, and Venice,
Genoa, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Embden, Bremen, Ham
burg, Altona, Lubec, Kiel, Stralsund, Stettin, with Ko-
nigsburg and Dantzic. The vast linen and general trade
between Germany and the United States will be facilitat
ed by so capital a mean of remittance, as the American
Cotton \Vool for German consumption.-*-PML Denu
