From the Trenton True American. Some folks appear to be in great terror of Lord Hill. If he were Lord Mountain we should not fear him. We have been General Ross sent in fine spirits to Halifax, after a difgracetul repulse by our raw mi litia at Baltimore; and we have lee a Sir George Prevoft, command ing ii Wellington’s invincible*,” re treating before one fifth of their number at Pkntiburgh. Britons are not surely more than men, and \mericank are certainly not less. e dare nor meet them, and r an beat them, wherever they (hew toemfelves ; and while vve cut down their men here, we will cut up their trade elsewhere. The longer they continue the war, the greater will be their iofs, in lives, property, and character. And the more lirenu ous the efforts they make to subdue ns,the more vigorous will be <c r refifiance. They may protract inis war, as they did the war of the for years ; but it mu ft ultimately terminate in their dif ccmnture and disgrace. They may withhold an acknowledgment of our rights now, as they did bur in dependence, then, but they will fin ally be forced to concede all we ask ‘—ter we all; nothing but what is rightful and reafooable, and what no person or parry ought to aban don. Let them then, fend all the force they can muster—the quicker the better—as the hard r it rains, the sooner it will be over Ameri cans will bread the (hock with finu nefs, and repel it with vigor. They will teach their enemies a Ffifin which they may remember thirty years~~as they did the lesson Wash ington taught them in the revolu tionary war. Americans are (urely not so degenerate that they can be conquered now in their manhood, by a power which in their infancy they vanquished—that from a na tion of freemen they will become a colony of slaves! A REASON AGAINST PEACE, in England, is given by Mr. Colqu houn, the celebrated statistical wri ter of London. He calculates that peace will throw out of employ ment 2.5,000 Brififli ‘officers, (na val and military, of different grades) 2000 clerks, and 230,000 non commissioned officers and privates.
