ENGLAND AND THE U. STATES.
An infinatc deal of nonsense lots issued
fenm the press of both countries on the nnni-
*%iitfsrties and soreness said to exist between the
United" States of America nod Old England.

■ Tourists and reviewers may play oil' “ the pa
yer pclicts of the brain," but the natural confe
deracy of intelligence and indtfpendcnee ema
nates from principles too firm and elevated to
be .shaken by this paltry warfare. A petulant
spcccii in Congress, or the worm* ood of a par
ty periodical disturb not British confidence in
American good will, and sure we are, that in
tIto indulgence of a sober, considerate, ami
charitable spirit, we do not stand alone.

There are those “among us, but not of us,"
who, under cover of their name, would gladly
scatter the seeds of dissension in the lands
most endeared to onr sympathies. Court flies,
mid the minions of a grasping aristocracy, ab
hor tile fellowship oi' freemen. It leads to
knowledge—to popular power—to the annihi
lation pf corruption. There ate tangible
grounds therefore for that malignity towards
America which lias envenomed the quills of
those who rarely write in a creditable cause,
until it tins been consecrated by the approving
jyd oi' aut'yOidy.
It was a gross libel onourcoiititryir.cn to
charge them with hoarding vindictive remem
brances towards the States, or with enter
taining tile desire of aggrandizement at their
expense. Many were tar from hostile to the
. celebrated Declaration of Independence ; they
considered it the fitting alternative of injured
man. The recollection of N. Orleans distract >
not our,slumbers ; if we ever think of the day

should have occurred. A* ‘n territorial ag-
psj.iuu, it., snuutu lie more likely to meditate
t ic trattsferreuce of the Canadas to our neigh

trigue may thirst after contention ; our prayer
-i- for peace, and for the fruits of peace—a li-'
bortil exchange of the blessings of the earth
and the products of mental and manuc! inge

The language of aversion or contempt en

Capt. Pope states that on the evening of the

been a great battle between the Russians and
Poles, in which the former were defeated, los

Count Diehitsch, it was stated escaped “ by

is said to have been seven thousand men.

war between any two contiguous nations—and
there can be no difference too great to lie ad

presume that we are capable of being chafed

stoop to cherish a mean jealously of the grow

We love the land of bur nativity, but we
should cense to love it, if our attachment were

FIRST STEAM BOAT.
It may surprise many of our readers to learn
that the first steam boat which ever floated up
on American waters, originated in its design
and accomplishment, with a native of the
Connecticut Valley, In 1735, John Fitch,
a native of East Windsor, Conn, conceived tho
design of applying steam power to propelling
vessels, but being indigent in his circumstan
ces, and meeting with innumerable obstacles,
solicited Congress to aid him in his design,
but scepticism and doubt prevailed over his
solicitations, and assistance was denied ; not
the utmost against any hostile attack.”
After this letter was read, some of the prin
cipal persons addressed the citizens, who de
clared they were ready to exert themselves to
the utmost. The head quarters of the Com
mander iu Chief, which on the 7th were at Si-
entie. were on the 11th at Jendezi jow.
Thu Polish Gazette reports that the Russian
guards upon the Bug are now effecting their
junction with the army of Field Marshal Dic-
bitscli.
The following is the latest official article
from tho Russian Head Quarters, translated
from the Gazette de France of May 1 :
which RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS; a„.;i i«
irt uintk \ 1. u© account niiowa, that «?v«¥y |nep»m-
t valc-p' on for crossing tlie Vistula had been made,
brave fellows, rejoined Gen. Dwernieki, point- j poured in, would seem a gratuitous alarm, and
itig to our men, and icnrn from them if a sin- j not one arising from real danger. It is stated
gle one of them has been treated iu so cruel , that tho number of banishments, in eonse-
a manner; they will reply, that all of them quence of the putting down the insurrection,
being discouraged, he succeeded in forming a
company in Philadelphia, and after unwearied
exertions, his first rude attempt was launched
into tlie Delaware in the year 17i)3 ; his edu
cation had been imperfect, but bis strong mind
and habits of industry assisted him in perfect
ing his boat ; tlie idea of wheels had not oc
curred to him, hut oars, working in a frame,
were substituted, and his experiment was test
ed.
Fitch was regarded as an enthusiast and a
visionary man, and many looked upon his at
tempt w ith ridicule and coldness, but his suc
cess, propitious tlius far, was to meet humili
ating misfortunes; his boat, completed the
most sanguine belief of its final success, sail
ed for Burlington, twenty miles from Phila
delphia, and as she approached tho wharf, the
boiler burst! Chagrined and mortified, site
was towed back to tlie latter city, and after
unwearied efforts, a nevv boiler was procured,
and he again sailed for Burlington ; hut
from some cause she only made three miles
an hour, and the expense of procuring other
machinery being too great, his friends were
the industry, intelligence, and hardihood of discouraged, Fitch disheartened, the
tier descendants, have given them a political
and moral rank, equal to that of the parent
country, compared with the kingdoms of Eu
rope. In numbers, those who speak the Eng
lish tongue considerably exceed tlie Spaniards;
iu all that ennobles humanity, they are im
measurably superior to them, and to every oth
er race nn tlie Continent of Columbus. In a-
bout half a century, amidst the fluctuations of
a sanguinary and protracted war which ravaged
tbe whole earth, a newly organized confedera
cy of thinly peopled provinces, became conso
lidated into a mighty empire, respected abroad,
aud peaceful ami flourishing in its” interal re
lations. If the future may lie argued from the
past, wo are warranted in the prediction, that
•a second series of the history of British gran
deur will be supplied by North America.
Many and magnificent arc the problems in
progress to solution among the sons of the
Union. A thousand opposite elements'have
becu mingled and melted in tho. crucible of a
Republican constitution, to produce the pure
gold of order and equal rights. No similar ex
periment was ever so successful. There has
been a conspiracy among our task-masters, to
beep us in ignorance of its happy results.—
They would have us raise the hand of violence
against our brother, that they and theirs may
walk in “ purple and fine linen.” Mammon
has a host of worshippers here, and the siahg
of an oligarchy prompt them to contemn insti
tutions which Jack "tlie pomp and circum-
‘•“.ancc" cf courtly yaranJ.-. ’>T.e delusion,
terprise was abandoned, and the boat lc
rot in tlie docks !
Thus it will be seen, that efliirts of genius
and enterprise, if unaccompanied by wealth,
too often sutler and languish, and frequently
are abandoned and lost to tbe world, from tlie
scepticism of the public with regard to im
provements anil inventions of doubtful utility;
Fitch depressed in spirit, wearied with unap
preciated exertion and oppressed by creditors,
was seized with tlie Yellow Fever, and died iu
1738 ; lie continued unshaken in his faith to
the last, thatsteam boat navigation would final
ly be successful, and it was only from want of
‘pecuniary resources, that lie did not complete
what was left for tlie triumphant genius of
Fulton to accomplisti. A friend has furnish
ed a little genealogical history of Fiteli and
his ancestors, which may be relied on ns ac
curate ; Joseph Fitch who settled early iu
Northampton, was great grandfather to John
Fitch, tlie subject of the above notice, and
projector of the first steam boat. John’s fa
ther lived in East Windsor, Conn, whose
name was Joseph ; he was second cousin to
Thomas Fitch, Governor of Connecticut from
1751 to 1760. Ebenezer Fitch, vvho now re
sides in Hatfield, was first cousin to John,
who would be 88 years old, if he was now liv
ing. So, it appears, tlie fust inventor of
steamboats had its early origin in Northamp
ton, and still lias connection living in the
neighboring village of Hatfield,—Northampton that there is another piece of news more
Coirf.r ! t;essing than that cf a battle, to wjtt 'thai
when the approach of a considerable mass of
troops from Warsaw, determined Marshal I)ie-
hitsch to strike a decisive blow. lie accord
ingly directed the -Itli with tlie 1st division of
infantry, and the 3d of cavalry, with the Lithu
anian guards and a large part of tlie grenadier
corps upon /pIccIiow, and pushed his advanc
ed guard ou to Latowize, where the Z.witteu-
back and the marshes make the defiles very dif
ficult. The main body would have followed
this movement, if the extreme difficulty of pro
curing supplies had not forced tho Marshal to
concentrate it nearer his convoys; it was,
therefore, concentrated on tlie 10th at Lukrow,
with au advance guard reaching to Stoczec, to
connect it with the division at Dcnibe.
The enemy moved along parallel with the
causeway by forced marches upon Sicdlic, and
Sicners attempted to cheek their movements.
When tlie Foies approached the south side of
Muclmwicc, they attacked Gen. Rosen in
close columns. The fight lasted till seven o’
clock. Many charges of cavalry and by the
bayonet, which were supported by our artille
ry. checked tlie enemy, and their failure forced
tiiem to retire. Nevertheless, Diehitsch fore
seeing that the enemy would attempt tlie day
following to pass the Muclmwicc, directed his
main body upon Siedlec.
The l’oles did not accept tho combat, and
retired upon Kulnwiu and Serovvyii....our ad
vance guard followed them to Mingosbury.
Gen. Khieman is watching tlie country be

and General Sachem was ordered to watch

Gen. Siemwski had passed on tlie 8th to
the left side of tlie Vistula, with 6000 men.—
General Rudiger having learned that Dwer-
nicki Imd passed the Bug between tlie Laco
nic aud Urcilug, imd concentrated forces to at
tack him. Gen. Kreutz Imd received orders to
follow him, and Gen. Deringdofl’ to cut oil' his
communications with Zamosc.
Yesterday Gen. Ougroumofi’ attacked the
corps of Jumitiski, who had placed himself
upon the right oftho Licuick, in front of Liew,
and Imd established a tele de pout. The Rus
sians overthrew the enemy, and even made
themselves masters of the work, ’['hey had
already taken many cannon, when a mass of
Folish cavalry forced them to abandon their
booty, and to fall back upon the infantry which
sustained and repulsed all attacks. We have
taken from 300 to 400 prisoners....the killed
must have been numerous on the side of the
enemy ; we have only a few hundred men hors
du combat. Gen. Ougroumofi' remains iu tlie
position which he had conquered, and Ims de

Although in the preceding bulletin the
Russians claim victories, yet it will be perceiv
ed that they were acting on the defensive, and
according to their own showing, they were
victorious only in repelling assaults from the
Toles.
The French papers contain a proclamation
from the Emperor of Russia, declaring the
government of Courland (in which.is Wilna)
in a state of war, and tlie people under milita

of an insurrection there.

splendid, the Times and Herald say, I was
out from 8 till 10, and can truly sav that there
were not fifty windows lit tip till tlie mob com
pelled them to light them. Many refused to
do it at all, and ns a consequence bad their
windows smashed. Tire Marquis of London

Crockford’s (the pane of glass cost I am told,

of servitude, and of a hostile occupation.—
Nineteen long years have passed since me in

SECOND REPORT OF DWERNICKI.
Scarcely had Dwernieki passed the Bug
when his first steps on that Polish soil, were
Consul, who is appointed only for commer
cial purposes. Assurances arp given on tlie
best authority, that tlie ships of war which
have gone from England with scaled orders,
have instructions to demand instant redress;
and if it be not granted, to blockade Lisbon
forthwith.
Tlie address of the Frcncli Consul to hU
countrymen in Lisbon, previous to taking liis
departure, is published iu the Paris papers.—
He states, that being directed by his govern
ment to insist on full satisfaction for the indig
nities offered to France, he had been unable to
obtain a categorical answer from Viscount
marked with success. On tlie 11 th inst. five ] Santarem, and was therefore about to leave the
platoons of the 2d regiment of Lancers, and
of the fourth horse chasseurs, composing a
part of his corps, encountered near Povyck
tlie whole regiment of Dragoons of Chargopo-
loki which enjoys a high reputation in the
Russian army. Our detachment rushed upon
this regiment, put it to rout, took five officers
(amongst whom is Prince Gbelenski) 150 Dra
goons, as many horse, and more tiian 200 enr-
biucs and other weapons. The enemy’s regi
ment lost also a great number of men in kil
led and wounded; finally, the remains of this
celebrated regiment have been dispersed in
the woods, and are continually falling into
our hands. The attack was so unexpected,
and at tlie same time so impetuous, that we
had only one man wounded, whose name is
Captain Sajewski. General Dwernieki has
already taken possession of tlie baggage and
transports of provisions destined for the great
army.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The elections of a new Parliament, were
proceeding with great spirit iu England, and
the friends of reform were carrying every
tiling before them. The appeal to the people,
it is believed, will enable the Ministry to tri
umph overall opposition.
The London morning Chronicle of the 30th
says “The Anti-Reformers are, in every po
pular place, driven, in a moment, from the field.
The city of London lias returned four staunch
Reformers- The borough of Southwark has
returned two stanch reformers. The Anti-
Reformers see that it is hopeless to contend
with the force arrayed against them—tlie force
of a united people.
Tlie Atlas of Sunday, May 1st, states, that
as far as the elections have gone, the minis
ters have obtained a clear majority of twenty.
Sir Robert Wilson was defeated by a large
majority, and in the strongest tory districts the
aristocracy have met with similar defeats. Up
to the evening of the 30th April, not a single
district had returned members favorable to tlie
Borough-mongers.
Sir Walter Scott was very ill, and slight
(hopes entertained of liis recovery,

24th of April.

Most of tiiem intended to accept tlie offer.
The Miguclists pretended, that the Consul
being only a commercial agent, bad no right,
to demand reparation for injuries not connect
ed with commerce ; and that he was not accre
dited by Miguel. The latter-was most afl'ront-
ed by being addressed as Prince Regent by the
Consul.
SPAIN.
This country stands on tlie verge of a con
vulsion. Whether the decisive acts of thepre-
votal courts have plucked the lighted fusee
from the magazine, aud so averted for a time
tlie catastrophe that impended, is yet a myste
ry. We know, however, that a plot of most
extensive, ramification lias been detected. A
French subject implicated has been arrested,
as has Don Malacuarto, the supposed head of
the conspiracy ; and Migar, a bookseller, w ho
had a private press in his cellar, and iu whose
house were found correspondence and papers
connected with Malacuarto, the refugees, and
tlie members of tlie Grand European Coun
cil of Propaganda, at Paris, lias been tried,
condemned, and executed.
GERMANY
The German papers give an account of
some disturbances which had broken out at
Dresden, in consequence of the suppression
of a Society called theDurghcr Union. Two
of its members having been arrested, were res
cued by the people, and the Govcmorof Dres
den, General Von Gablenz, pelted and insult
ed. The General immediately ordered out
the troops of tlie garrison, which are numer
ous, and as il is asserted, well affected. At
the despatch of the letters tranquility had been
restored, hut there was still great excitement
among the inhabitants of that metropolis.
TURKEY.
The insurrections in Greece and Turkey are
confirmed, and letters from Constantinople
assure us that the Sultan is determined on war
with Russia, which it is supposed, will unite
all parties in his favor, as the malcontents are
principally drawn from tlie classes who think
that national honor has been tarnished by tiie
events of tlie last campaign.
GREECE.
From Greece also the advices represent the
revolt in Maina as having assumed a serious

never shall again. Regent street from Oxford

from Coventry street to Park, corner of Bonil
street, for the whole length, were one mass of

tlirce or four hundred thousand of tbe gcutii
men reformers.
This will have a very unfavorable effect up
on the election. People of property begin t<>
see tlie danger they are in. But it lias gone
too far now—the ball of revolution never ttirn.-
back—if tiie bill be trot carried, I shall me
wish to be in St. Stephens, nor any where el-

England’s stability is at stake. Yours, truly.

FROM BRAZIL.
THE REVOLUTION CONFIRMED.
Baltimore, June 3.
By the brig Virginia, Capt. llugg, we have
received our Rio papers to the 14th April.—
They contain official accounts of the abdica
tion of Don Pedro, in favor of his son, and the
appointment of a Regency over the young
Monarch, consisting of the Marquis de Cara-
vellas, Francisco tie Limaic Silva, Nicolao
Pereira de Gampos Vergueiro.
The immediate cause of the abdication of
the Emperor was the conduct of his troops.
He endeavored to head them, for tho purpose
of marching against the people, who had as
sembled iu tlie Campo d'Acctumacao. The
troops not only refused to March, but left the
barracks and joined their countrymen. The
consequence was tlie immediate abdication ol
the Emperor in favor of his son, under the ti
tle of Don Pedro II. and his taking refuge,
with tiie Empress and the young Queen ol
Portugal, on board of the Warspite.
Among the first acts of the Regency were,
a general amnesty for all past political offen
ces, and a proclamation of pardon for all de
serters who return and deliver themselves up
within three months.
Tiie Ministers for foreign powers resident
nt Rio, took refuge on board of the Warspite,
from which they addressed a joint note to the
Regency, demanding protection and safety fur
their countrymen. They received a reply. !15 '
suring them that their countrymen would be
respected, and receive the protection of the
laws and the privileges granted to friendly na
tions.
On the 0th tlie young Monarch made h>»
triumphant entry into Rio, and was apparently
received with great enthusiasm by all parties-
citizens, military, aud foreigners. At nigh* a
grand illumination took place. The public
installation will take place as soon as tlie Le
gislative Assembly is legally installed.
