Read the following extract from Mr. Cinning's Speech in Parliament. Mr Canning lai I— ‘ When ur ged upon tlie fubjeft, 1 kn vw that mimfters will reply, that their tno tives for clinging to the Lift to con ciliation. were two fold they hid fri ndt in the United States 2d That before w - venture on hof ti'ities, we ought to take care that we are indifputahlv in the right.

I admit that it is a'fo right to t mper v >ur con duft bv i confi leration of the \irty that favors your cause in the hostile state. In regard to the United States, this rule “*ught to he ohl'erv cd, and we ought to pay attention to those who arc c die /u• o ni.n r. 1.1 , h- M n no r m ni g to deny that they arc good d/icriritis ; but who hold the <mini >n, that an alliance with England is preferable to a treaty with France. But are we quire lure, that by this fyitem of mitiga ted hofliliry. we are not playing the game of the party opposed to us, is? fef i ting the efforts of our friends ? 1 cannot help thinking that we in jure our own caule by tliis dubious pusillanimity, and here let me ob serve, that I do not speak from mere conjecture; for i will read to the house a part of a speech of one of cur warmest advocates beyond tlie waters of the Atlantic. He is prophecying to liis countrymen the horrors and rnilm v that will be oc- J cafiond by a war with Great Britain, none of which predictions have been verified by the indecision of our go vernment. The inevitable confe qucnce is that the British party in the United States were ridiculed id contemned as gloomy prognoflicatois of evils, that have not and will not be endured. Lie fadt points >ut the defencelcfs (late of their whole maritime frontier, & tells the Houle of Representatives, “ that they who calculate on the f irbearance of the enemy will too late find themfclves deceived.” Have they been decei ved ? No. Tlie Britilh govern ment has done*, and perhaps will do nothing. ["Hear, hear, hear 3 He proceeds, *'■ if we are not already prepared to defend our seaports, the enemy will not wait until we are prepared.” Wh.it attack has been made, and what might not have been accotnplifhed ? {_ 1 lear, hear! j) He then, at fotne length ridicules the idea, that when once the dread ful and irrecoverable hep is taken, ! England will allow ar.v interval for i preparing for hodilitir - , “ a fl :ct, ! he fays, “ wouid fii! round onr j coasts, Ueftroy our towns and anni j hilate our trade.” Where is this J fleet, and whore is tin* dell ruction of their tiade? lias not crown fallen a Tetr i to their fusvateer;. Mr. J.

A credible & moll eloquent member of tlie fame house lias declared, that “ English ministers arc kur.cn to have pet'sons in America as will as in Gnat In it a in, whom they payfur dtf tiding their measures” The amount of the a r>ual grant to old American h>y alilts is avowed ; but the amount of the appropriation to the new A nv ricaii loyalills, lo known to be paid for defending Brinfb measures no matter what they are, is kept quite secret , or (as the lupercilious Air Canning w< uIJ lay) profoundly opcttane.us Any man however, who can dilcover wlut was the a tneunt of the bilJ- of exchange re ceived by ike quibbling Mr. buffer and so opportunely dilcovered at Wa fl.ii gton, will be able to make a pretty good Yankey guifs as to the amount c f the Laet appropri ation lor the new loyalists in Amer ica.
