The wounds received by Great Britain in her tendereat point, her naval supremacy, during our lute contest were too severe to be loon forgotten. Our navy ia viewed with a jealousy proportions ad to its increase i and the •• miechiej" which has grown nut yf oureontlnued successes during that trying period—i.e, the confidence and just reliance whichVill hereafter be placed In this meant of national defence—will be a fruitful source of uneulneaa on the other aide of the Atlantic. It ia too late, at this time of day, to toll ua, that the reault ofthe mimeroua engage ments -between our, fir-built, trigatea and the frigates of Great Britain, during the war, waa owing to accident. The eauia will be found in the bravery of American tars, and the enter- prize Of American officer*. In another place the writer telle us, “ It Ia undeniable that the fUght advantages gained at aea during the last war, were purely the reault of a superior weight of metal, and a superior number of able bodied seamen, being attached to vessels nominally rated frigate*, but in reality of a much larger ctaai." 1 How are these different representa tions to be reconciled f In the same breath the cause of the foilure of British frigst*s“!n their attacks on American frigates la purely accident el—and then owing to a “ superiority’’ in metal men tfo. The whole paragraph is an admirable specimen of thole consnlotary articles which ap peared In the English ministerial prints during the war, and which only shews the wounds it is intended to hide, and displays In bolder relief the triumph it la intended to destroy.— Should another eontast ever take plnee be tween us, we may well look with anxiety for the result. The arifo will be violent and bloody —the British navy will endeavor to retrieve the character it has lost in tho struggle with ut, and wa have a reputation to preserve, and a courage to support it which will not shrink from any aacrifioe, and a spirit which while one plank remains with another, will not “ give up the ship." The day wehepeiafardistant—we believo it ia—but these observations are forced upon ua by tho manner In which the sub. jeetis treated below, and we gladlyquit them:— from the London Courier, tf May 20. ! We have given to-ds) some 'additional ex treme from our hit files of American papers, anil -among them, the entire Report of the Committee on Naval Afihirs, respecting the an nual-progress made in the building of ships of war. Aa we observed on Saturday, this is a do cument which comet recommended to our no- tiee, by considerations of a very obviuus kind. Not on|y the extent, but the quality—not mere ly the number, but the else and equipment of the vessels launched from the government dock-yardi ofthe Uoited States, should occupy to much of our attention, at to leave ua nothing to learn, or to remedy, should a war again take plaee between the two countries.

Tht question in this case is, whether the will tff the elder Spencer, directing the manumission “f these slaves, and the deed of the heirs carry ing the wishes of the testator into effect, dated 34 Oct. t8u8, subjects them to the order and tale ofthe Justices of the Inferior Court of Ef. fingham County, under the power delegated to magistrates by the act of 1818. Tbit Court, baa already decided on the Circuit, that a-tnan- umission by deed, bill, or otherwise, subsequent to the aqt of 1801, produced no legal alteration In the conditioh of the slave, that the instrument waa absolutely void, for any purpose of free dom, and following the language of the sta tute, that the slave was Hill to “ all intents and purpoeesasmuchina state of alaveiy aa before he waa manumitted, and set free by the party so offending,’’—by giving the Instrument of manumission. The act of 1801, ia too unambi. guoua to require the aid of any technical inter pretation, to comprehend its object, and inten tion. It.vlalu with a penalty, the person, in fracting the inhibition to manumit, by private deed, att or instrument, or in any other man ner, or forte, than the one described, end it placte the slave precisely in the condition be was before. I always-feel happy, when-Iftn decide upon the plain expression Of the law it self. without travailing beyond its context, into afield ofunneeretary aupererrogatory learning. 1 am of opinion then that under the operation of the act of 1841, these slaves remained the property of Mr. Bpencer, notwithstanding the direction! of hia, will, and the subsequent in strument of manlimission. And they must now be considered tht property of that estate t end that interest ctn inly be divested by an set of vantages gained at sea during Ute last wsr, were purely the result ofauperior weight of metal, and a superior number of able bwlied teamen, being attached to vessels nominally rated aa frigates, but In reality of a much larger Class. Perhaps the greatest miechief which has grown out uf this circumstance, has beeu a sort uf vain confidence in the American people, which would be extremely likely to precipitate the govern ment into hostilities, if, unfortunately, there should hereafter arise any dispute calculated to bear such an ,esue. On the other hand, there *™tjd be, under tueh circumstances, a feeling of a different, but not less decisive kind m thu country i a feeling of vehement desire to show that it »as accidental, not positive superiority, which plucked a leaf or two from the laurel wreath ef England's naval giory- To prevent •recurrence to these provocations of war, it w.U be much belter, whenever the two nat'-ona shall happen to be wain committed to huatiii net, that all doubt shall be eaitafoclorily remov ed upon three points.

A disturbance had taken,, place at Lyons, which required the intcr- veotion ut the troops to quell it, I*nddh, May‘l')Zo n Monday evening an alarming not took place tn Great Phto? street, Westminster, and the places adja- cent. It originated in a quarrel among Borne Irish people of the lowest cUsvin a public house, the Duke Head, in Fetap street; wlteri in the course of a few mi- nutes. upwards of 209 person* assembled armed with every description of weapooa, and a general affray commenced.

A pistol loaded with ball was fired from one ofthe win dows, it is said, ami th* contents lodged in the groin of a man named Welsh, and he was carried to the hospital in i state of insensibility.
