With much satisfaction we have read
the intelligent anil liberal article which »i
this evening present our readers with, from
the London Times of May 2-2, aa high-ton
ed a national paper as is published in
Great-Britaln. It will be perused with
pleasure by the American public.
To the Editor of the Times,
Sir—.The w ell known candorof your pa
per wi'l, it is believed, secure the insertion
of the I tllowing observations, which have
beet, put together in consequence of the
articles contained in the Times nf Thurs
day and Friday last, on the subject of the
bill now in its progress through the Amc
rican congress, regulating the interconrse
between our West-India colonies ami the
United Slates.
The conclusions which have been come
to in the following statement, differ ma
terially from those at which you have ar
rived. Full credit being given for the sin
cerity with which you entertain the opini
«ns which are held by you. a similar claim
„ on the part of the writer of these obterva
tions, it is hoped, will not be made in vain
and that he may be permitted to state, that
his reasonings rest upon general principles
alone; being neither a proprietor of West
India estates, nor a mercantile man, on
the one hand, nor being or having the
•lightest acquaintance with any American
citizen, on the oilier. A sincere and ai
dent attachment to Ihe glory and the fur
tunes of England, and an anxious wish
that she would in all things judge of tin-
conduct of others as she would be judged
of by them, is the foundation upon which
the following reasoning is laid:—and it is
trusted that interest and prejudice hav*-
had little to do in forming the result.
The success which crowned our efforts, at
the conclusion of the late contest, has led
ns to believe, and believing it, we have
not hesitated to express, that all the vir
tue, talent and understanding in the world
belonged exclusively to ourselves; and
that being in possession ol these, we have
considered that all other nations should re
gulate their measures and frame their law
Mi support of our honor, and in furtherance
of our interests. It is by no means intend
ed to quarrel with this national feeling, so
necessary to our existence and pre-emi
nence; but it does appear,that our charac
ter would stand higher for every generous
sentiment, if we were less forward in dis-
playing it. anil that our interest would be
(Considerably promoted, if we could come
bach to those old sound principles of in
ternational law, which used to ble*s and
render-happy the nations of (he world, and
consider that our own prosperity and hap
piness walked baud in hand with, that ol
every oth -r nation.and that every increase
of wealth to them is but an addition to our
own; the most industrious gamin
from the general prosperity.
In the »apie way we are too apt to con
sider the arts of foreign states, which
uivy in reality, or in our aw n conception,
•diet some bra ten of our industry, as en
acted in tjtespiritof hostility to toiscourp
try; forgetting and tlLregnming that they
h tve the same right to legislate for and re
gulate their commercial pursuits as rvc
uuiselves have, and at the same time put
ting'unit of consideration, that pernaps
This is, I fear, unfortunately for our
selves and the world, the general charac
ter and failing of which prevails amongst
us at the present moment; keeping alive :
spirit of discontent and restlessness, pro
Rioting at home a desire for legislative j
terference and regulation, destructive
our dearest interests, and preserving those
'feelings pf irritation which have so long
split the world inf) factions, and sewing
the early seeds or new dissentions and
future wars. In no instance, however,
are these feelings so strung and so deeply
felt as towards the United States of-Arne-
rica; and When even you, sir, lay it down
as an axiom not to he doubted, “that she
is the rival of England in pevee, as she has
been, as she may again be, her enemy
war.” you ipust readily admit its univc
sality, anil that the sentiment, I regret
state it, accoril-i well with the feelings
i large portion of the people of this coun
try; furnish.ng another prool of the truth
of an observation which is certainly not
new, that communities are more general
ly led -by their prejudices than their if;
son.
The proof of such a position as that
stateil so broadly by you, certainly rest-
upon the person who brings it forth: and
as truth is always henifitteil by discussio*.
we should he happy to see it attempted by
one of your candor and information, beg
ging you to keep in mind at the same time
those enlightened and liberal views will
which you opposed the silly complaint
the people ofthe Netherlands and of tier
many, against the introduction of Uritis'
manufac tures anil commerce.
In the mean time, however, it appear
that it may be stated with adtantage to the
clear understanding of this very iinportai
question that it is somewhat diffic ult to per
reive how that nation should be our ene.
my in peace, which, in its habits, its laws,
its institutions, and its language, most re
scmbles our own, and which, owing to tl
influence of all the-e reasons, is our b**:
and most extensive customer, and who, a
she increases in wealth, must continue ti
leal more largely in the purchase of ou
goods; for many a year must roll over her
before, in the natural course ol things,
itver, America can supply herself, unle.-
forced to it, by measures emanating from
lurselve*. In no one circumstance, in
lecil,ilo the two nations or their interest
interfere, if left-fairly to themselves and t
the natural circumstances in which tin
are placed. The late war and its hoi rn
placed us indeed in a situation hostile t
each other; hut 1 trust that the wisdon
which each party learned from that con
'est will enable them to avoid the same
result hereafter; and those causes bein
moved which led to it, no obstacle seeir.
to stand in the way of a full reconcilia
tion and participation ot all just interna
tional rights, but the one which gave rise
to your observation and to these remarks
Consider hut for a moment the relative
positions of the two countries, and nbserv
the raw material she affords lor us to work
up, and recollect how the industry nf ou
people is supported by her demand fn
manufactured articles of every descrip
tion. Ask Staffordshire, and the county
Palatine nf Lancaster; ask Briminghani;
nay, ask London herself, what they ex
perienced when that valuable market was
interrupted and is there not every reason
for union, and none for quarrel?
But America, it is said, sends her
ships into every sea; and in every por
where the English union is unfurled there
also are displayed the stars of the Unite
States: And are we then tocunsider as ou
enemies .every nation which is .indu-tri
ous, and wage war against it to preven
that progress which God and nature ha«
equally granted unto all? Well would we
then justify the worst part nf the charac-
ter which the late ruler of France at any
time in his bate ventured to insult u**
with. If we should harbor any such feel
ing. let us discard it at once, a*nd recur t<
(he maxims of our fatheis which have madi
us what we are, and consider that ivhat
adds to the wealth of all must increase
our own prosperity at the same time. Bur
America adds to her navy in time of peace,
and isEogland so silly as nut to do the same.-
Far otherwise do I hope and believe th*
fact to be; but we are wise enough not ti
boast of that which is the duty of ail gov.
ernments to perform; to use the days o'
peace in preparing against those contest*
which cannot be avoided. Resides, have
the Americans no enemies to contend with
but England? And let it not be forgottui
that it is the opinion of some of the best
heads in this country, that she w ill no more
increase her naval strength in the same ra
tio as she adds to the number of her ships,
than we have ourselves done before her.—
A navy can be made effectual only to a
certain point, being strictly limited by th
extent of the mercantile marine of the
country. Tbeexpenseofi>erri|uipmeiitsal-
soarelikely tocreate anothercircumstancc
to control the entire efficiency of her naval
exertions.
Wishing, however, rather to show in
what manner the two countries may be
kept together in the bonds of peace, than
how little we are to dread her in the event
of war, by showing how strongly their in
terests are united, and their objects the
same, I shill add a few extracts from a pa-
inos' p er written by a most unexceptionable
j udge in such a question, and whose talents
fir nbservatiou will be as little denied, as
his de-ire not to exaggerate the portrait
which he has drawn, will readily be admit
ted.
M de Talleyrand, in his excellent Me
in or upon the Commercial Relations ol
the United States and England, in 1797,'
to the National Institute of France, (a pa
per which ought to be studied by live gov-
frnments and people of the two countries)
* remarkable fact,.the constantly
ittiugcommerci*! intercourse between
■ea the United Sutes and England,
“that whoever has seen America
th roughly cannot fpr a moment hesitate
in laying the greater part of her enstom*
ar still English, that her former commerce
wi h England has increased greatly
pljcc oftiaving diminished, since her inde
prudence; and that, consequently, tl.a
evynt, iujieu uf hiving been prejudicial
h« been attended v.ith the happiest cou
sequences to F.ngland.”
Alter complaining bitterly of the littl
irfluence that France had maintained ove
.life councils, and how completely she had
Irst every advantage which she expected
♦« derive from the assistance she B» v ''
America, in enabling her to make herself
inlependent of the mother country, lie
grrs on to say, “Tne identy of language
is the %st circumstance whose influence it
isimpdssible to over-rate. This identity
rinfers upon the people of the two coun
tries a common character, which will nl
wavs make them take to each other; they
will mutually consider themselves at home,
when travelling in either country: they
can iliscuss at freedom and without re
serve, that which concerns their mutual
interests, whilst an insuperable barrier i,
raised up between those who speak differ
entlanguages.who are unable to pronounce
a word without betraying that they ere not
of the same country. In every part of
Ameiica where I have been, I did not find
a single Englishman who did not feel him
self at home: nor a Frenchman who ili
not feel that he was a foreigner. But u I
should tve be astonished to find such a t-
deary to connect itself with England, in
coinlry where (he great outlines of the f
deral constitution, as well as those of tl
narlicnlar stales, are all derived from th
of England: where her civil liberty rest
ujsin the same foundation—the habeas cor
pus act and trial by jury? If you attend
the sessions of congress, or the sittings o
the state legislatures, you will find »hri
nreeedenls ami authorities all borrnwe-
fr -m England, and the proceedings of h
parliament. If you enter a court
justice, you will find the rules and judg
merits of the English courts quoted am
followed. Surely, if men under the inflo
once of such operating causes, should hav,
no feeling or attachment to England, one
must refuse assent to the influence of law
over mankind, uni^t deny the existence o
those impressions which they receive Irani
ihe objects which surround them.” Such
is the recorded and deliberate statement
of one of the most acute •understandings
ami consummate statesmen of modern
times—a statement fully borne out by th
statement of another countryman of hi
own, M. de H -anjour, who was Fiend
consul in America, in his sketch of the
United States.
With such high and unprejudiced aut!n
ritv, is it wise in os to iii„gu»t a peopl
whose interest it is, as it is their inclina
tion, to remain on good terms with us
who, at the same time, are our best cos
turners, anil likely to coctinue so, in order
that we may indulge a littl** peevish feel-
ilg which we ought to he above? We are
ready to acknowledge that they have not
Iren behind us, in America, in vulgarity
<f abuse and intemperance of language;
lut it is a fact that can be clearly demon
strated, that such conduct was as di-pleas
ng to tlie government ol America as a si
milar conduct in England has been to
ours, and that it did not proceed from per
sons born citizens of America, but from
thvse who, unfortunately for both coun
tries, obtained, from circumstances which
have ceased tu exist, a temporary com
mind over the press of that country.
My own individual feeling towards
Anericahas si ways been of a different sort.
It has been that of noble and generous
pride—considering the production of s,
•ni;lirv a nation, in so short a time, as the
firit panegyric upon the excellence of the
English constitution, the fitness of hei
laws to promote the prosperity and liappi
ness of mankind, and the manlinesv ami
igpr of the character of her people who
■otiltl rear sucli a state, who, even in their
ambition, infirmities, vanity, and contempt
of -jthcr nations, strongly betray the origin
lienee they are derived. I look forward
itb delight to the extension of our laws
ud our language over so large a portion of
the globe, and the influence which the
name and character of England w ill ir
consequence, if not mxrrcil by mean and
elfish motives, exercise over the future
fate and fortunes of nations.
As to the que-tion which has been the
occasion of tioubling you with these re
marks, it appears clear that both nation!
have an undoubted right to act as they
have done. At the same time, it does ap
pear that both had better have refrained
frum doing that which they have done. It
nterrupts the course and freedom of com
merce between iltem: it creates heart-burn
ings which hsu better be avoided; it make!
the West-India planters buy their lumber
dearer, which, of course, makes the peo
ple n| England pay more fur their sugar,
as it does the people of the United States,
for her ruin and molasses: and all f.*r the
sake,and that problematical too, of a colo
ny, whose trade, either present or future,
when,compared with the American or
West-India trade is nothing, and which
the Americans certainly will take from us
the first war we shall unfortunately be en
gaged in with them, and which this very
measure, the (only subject of contention be
tween the two countries, will possibly pre-
cipate. *'
The conquest of Canada was treated as
the brightest circumstance in Pitt’s cele
brated administration; as saving the colo
nies of England from all future attack.—
llo*v short sighted is the wisdom of man!
That same minister lived to see that veiy
event lead to the separation of the colonies
from the mother country, and it has ever
since proved the foundation of all misun
derstanding hitmen this country and
America. Would it were again surren
dered to France for a proper equivalent,'
and thp union ol the United 'States with
England, Soil fter : i-i»tili!y to France would
be perpetual; but an ,r)>d must.be put to
these discussions, which Irad to considera
tions ot ngcotmmm interest. 1.

From Niles’ Weekly Register.
We ventured an opinion some.wseks
•ince that the present emigration fO the

nersotis per day. The following table,
though necessarily vert/ impeded may
serve to support that opinion. ThF ratio
of emigration, it is probable will hold good
fur four months of the present year. For
the rest of the year it is inconsiderable, not
amounting, perhaps, to 20 persons per

A London artist who was well acquaint
ed with the nature and extent of the re
vengeful temper nf the present king nl
Britain towards the Americans, and par
ticularly towards Or. Franklin, pretended
that he had discovered that iron rods with
ountl heads were better conductors of
;htning than those that were constructed
reeably to the doctor’s plan with sharp
points. The king was delighted with the
discovery, and immediately took down all
the pointed rods from his palaces, and put
p round-headed ones in their stead. AI
ter a while it was perceived tubes hum :
and the king gladly fled a second time for
protection against lightning, to the inven
