in force tBatb*cams the apple of disco rd. With such an opinion of the minority ia Parliament, it appears wonderful to me that you would have quoted them in sup¬ port of your assertions, and still take iron them whatever appears favourable to America, even at the moment that you despise their authority. You bring for- waidGovcrnorPownall testifying in praise of the Colonies, but you are not such a novice in L>gic as to believe that this proves any thing, ft is merely the pri¬ vate sentiments of an individual, whose long residence in America gave him a leaning towards its inhabitants, and he therefore pronounces a panegyric ifti their loyalty and affection to their Mother Country. It is in the first place to be recollected that Governor Povvnall was in opposition ; and next that he was a pop¬ ular Governor, lie guided, says Gor¬ don, Massachusetts by a silken cord* and by praising them plentifully, and ::* tar¬ ing their vanity, did business with them in an easy manner. He governed at a happy time, Canada had just been taken, and the Colonies were full of joy. Leav¬ ing them in good humour, Mattered and flattering,GovernorPownall might be sin¬ cere in the good account ho gave of them, though it was far from correct. You likewise bring Dr. Franklin for¬ ward to testify to the loyalty of the Co- louies, wbich9 consideiing the part which this Philosopher acted in the contest, seems rather hardy. You next quo(e Mr. lJurke as an evidence of the joy ex¬ pressed throughout America at the repeal of the Stamp Act, who remarked that so sudden a calm after so violent a storm was without a parallel in history. That this was the case in some Colonies may perhaps be admitted, though wc have seen no proof, but certainly not in Mas¬ sachusetts, for by this time Samuel Ad¬ ams and his party triumphed* " In the Witfd'fe aiuf Sotftfterii suites the irritation against .the Mother Country appears" says Judge Marshall, " to have subsided in 1770, but in Massachusetts a gloomy discontent with the existing state of things was every where manifested/'—u The country shall be independent, and we shall be satisfied with nothiug short of it" said Samuel Adams* Mi. Gordon, who appears to be (he most upright historian of the Revolution, says that the resolu¬ tions adopted at the town meetingat Bos¬ ton prove that many of the inhabitants were already ripe for a revolution, and Judge Marshall mentions that the fears entertained by Massachusetts that the spirit of opposition might gradually sub¬ side, were not permitted to be of any long continuance, as the Colonies determined not to import tea. You next state that after the revolu¬ tionary war the tide of affection turned rapidly towards the Mother Country, &c. You admit that this is not the opinion of Judge Marshall, who states, on the con¬ trary, and with perfect truth, as every history of the time proves, " That the war which was terminated in 17S3 had left in the bosoms of the American peo¬ ple a strong attachment to France and enmity to Great Britain. These feelings in agreatei~or less degree were perhaps universal ; and had been prevented from subsiding by circumstances to which al¬ lusions have b«*en repeatedly made. They evinced themselves in the State Legisla¬ tures by commercial regulations ; and were demonstrated by all those means by which the public sentiment is usually £fe0f$4; 'iV? foWM? «fe»f «m/ sho into the National Councils', where they manifested themselves in the motions res¬ pecting the favours which ought to be shewn to irattons having commercial trea¬ ties with the United Slates." You attempt to ihew, and with equal fuccefs, that Great Britain has always been filled with hatred and jealousy against A- rnerica. For this purpofe you quote Mr. Baring's pamphlet on the Orders in Coun¬ cil. Ac to Mr. Baring's authority we do not value it highly till he clears himself of any (hare in the loans negociated by Mr. Parish, without which the war could not have been carried on, and Daniel Warren's terms would have been accepted. So far was Great Britain from feeling hoftile to America after the peace of 1785, that Mr. Fox immediately brought in a bill to reg¬ ulate the intercourfe between the two na¬ tions, & for ten years afterwards the Uni¬ ted States are hardly ever alluded to in the Parliamentary debates. Of the people of the United Kingdom nine tenths have no connexion with America, and never think of her at all. Even the lad war was hard¬ ly known to the common people in Eng¬ land, and many were surprised to hear that there had been war in America. You next advert to the fuppofition gene¬ rally prevalent that your General Govern¬ ment was not sufficiently ftrong for the purpofe of offensive war, and this opinion, notwithstanding your affertions to the con¬ trary! was completely verified during the laftconteft. ( You have only to confult Carey's Olive Branch for abundant proof. Governor Tompkins fells us that there was a time when net a cent remained in the Public Treafury, and not a dollar could be borrowed ; remember Monroe's Appeal or Manifesto, which appeared in your friend Ni'es' Register after the clofc of the war ; the New England Convention ; the Militia of Maflachusctta, &c &o Your remarks on your naval trophies are of little consequence, and may be easily answered. That a few vefTels fnould fall into your hands mjght have been anticipa¬ ted ; and at* to the superior courage or (kill of either party it can be no fubjeft of inquiry among rational men—equal force may he expected to be equal matches, and fn fuch cafe* the victory will depend not on the national character of either, but up Commanders. The foolish indignation exprefTed by the public in England for the lofs of two or three frigates out of a thou- fand (hips of war, which were amply ba¬ lanced before theclofe of hostilitiea, gave an eclat to your naval victories which they by no means merited. You fay that the number of Britifti mer¬ chant? vefTels captured by the Americans, and which arrived in port or were deftroy- ed is determined by an irrefragable eftimatc to amount to five thoufand five hundred; more in all probability than Britain loll in all her wars which grew out of the French revolution. As you furnifli no copy of Niles1 document, and as I have not his Register or Magazine of misstatements for January 1816, 1 can make no remarks on its authenticity, but the fame notable'writer in June 1815, feveral months after the peace, cannot make them mare than six¬ teen hundred, notwithftanding his namber- lefs repetitions, and including boats on ri¬ vers, and every fort of craft that bore a name. It is true he tells us that he Will he able dill to add in all probability one hundred more, which, according to his own ftatcment, would make the whole 1 700 ; but with the beautiful confiltcncy that diV tinguifhes this very useful work, he tells us that the whole number of captures have not been lefs than three thoufand. But who took the difference between the number he give3and this, or 1300, he has notdifcov- eied, though he fay& in another place he has been at incredible pains to make out a correct lift of prizes, and few captures have efcaped him. In balancing accounts of prices the numbers will be found nearly equal, which is the more extraordinary as American commerce after the firft year was almoft entirely fwept from the Ocean, but the moft correct method of eftimadng the damage fuftained by the two nations during this unforttmate conteft is to give the exports of each for the two yearn pi**- viousro the war, and the years of its con¬ tinuance, & from this compaiifon we fhali be able to decide upon the real injury sus¬ tained. we regret:l0say,of th%aK)Sj pa!nfiiJ iescripfi«m, ! ruriie.i tc the iri&nnc, and exclaimed furiously Someoflbe wretchedmcD wil0 n%ve hccucon. _« |ttt order prevail, Mr. Manuel has been 1810 1811 1812 1813 1814 United States. rii'oxTs, Dollars. 66,757,970 61.316,833 33,527/236 27,855,597 6,927,441 Great Britain. exports. 278.777,473 220,222,232 196,000,697 211*970,689 297,895.793 Here it is feen that the trade of the United States in 18 14 was little more than one tenth of what it was in 1810—That the trade of Gieat Britain on the contrary was much greater.

On notice being given to thefe poor creatures to remove, they remon- ftrated, and dated unequivocally, that as they neither had money to cranfport them to America, nor the profpeel of another fituation to retire to, they neither could or would remove, and that if force was to be ufed, they would rather die on the fpotthat gave them birth than elfcwhere.

Mr. Blake rode up to the crowd and remonftrated with them, but finding his intreaties in vain, and fearing his fol- diers would be ftirroundcd, ordered them to fire, thinking it would be the means of deterring them ; the contrary, however, was the case, and the ribbonmen feemed determined to clo!-, when Mr. Blake or¬ dered hia little troop t-^ charge -ind make their way through them,"\vhich they di'd (o effetlually, that the ribbonmen retre?tcd in all directions, leaving one man dead and five badly wounded.
