On our front page will be found an extract from a Halifax paper, complaining bitterly of the federalists of Boston for the honors they have paid the gallant Perry. Further extracts may be found below. {not having room sufficient, we fiublish buitwo of the extracts] The British appear to increase in their claims with -every increasing ma- ment. One day we must compel Mr. Mad. ison to evacuate the presidential chair, to make room for somebody else more agree, able to his majesty—one who will have &# greater respect for Brush Claims than AMERICAN RIGHTS; some one who would rather sce our country the abject and cringing colonies of England, than to . | see it a® free, sovereign and independent + . state.” Not content with this requjgition upon the republican, the British now make a requisitions upon the Federalists, viz. that they shall not be allowed the privileges of doing honor to the bravery and skill of our gallant naval hetoes | No officers here- after except the officers of the « fast an- chored isle, such as Hillyar, Broke, Wwal- lis, &c. are to receive the tribute of Ame- rican applause. To mention, in terms of approbation, the names of Decatur, Rodg- ers, Bainbridge, Porter, Hull, Perry, &c. 8c. will be high treason ! and the daring rebel who shall presume to do it, must re- sign all hopes of British grace ! The British paragraphists write under the most erroneous impression, when they declare that Mr, Madison and the southern states would willingly relinquish the fishe- ties, provided every other point could be adjusted. They judge of southern states by the character of another part of the coun, try ; and conclude that they would as readi- ly «sell their country’s birth right for a mess of pottage,” as a. mercenary trader, They must understand the southern people better; and whatever may be the case here, we are far from thinking that sordid lucre has stified the voice of patriotism in the south — They declared that the north never deserved any mercy at the hands of Britain, and proceed to reprimand them most se- verely for not having risen in rebellien a- sainst their own government, and thrust their necks into the yoke of Britain * From the Montreal Herald of July*30th. The worthy friends of the federalist A- mericans in Britain and Canada, are now brought to the blush ; the burn with shame 4 at the thoughts of having been the dupes of New Eagland chicanery. The chanipion of federalism, of the law of nations, of Bri- tish rights ; Mr. Russell the editor of the Boston Gazette, has: now shewn himself what he really is, the champion of piracy and falsehood. This manhad fora long series of years stood high in the estimation of his party, and even of his opponents ; his probi. ty and sincerity were never called in ques- tion. - By those near him he was believed to be the friend of Great Britain, and the friend of peace with that nation :—But this hypocracy is unveiled, and men can now without the fear of reproach, or the sneers of deceit, speak out their sentiments, & pro- noutice that the federalists have ever been the secret enemy of England and is now her avowed and most rancorous foe. No further proof is wanted. The remarks of Mr. Russel are more official, as the agent of Gov. Strong, and others of his cast, than are those of Mr. Gales oa the part of presi- dent Madison. Fis culogy on the piratical cruise of capt. Porter, and his {bel on the British government for giving orders to cap- ture a corsair on a coast which owns no government, evinees a disposition of heart, as uricandid as it is wicked On the gal, lant navy of his country, and the Cod Iish- eries, Mr. Russet speaks most. pompously =s¢ Shall we surrender those brilliant tro- phics which were reared by our forefa- R. precisciy states the reason why those tro- thers in the evolutionary struggle! Mr. phics should be pulicd dow; all Europe has a deep interest in’ seeing them leveled with the suriace of the ocean, or sunk in the abyss. “The ume is arrived which will teach moi archs not 16 ‘look with intifier- ence at rebellion France has to deplore many of lier losses and miseries, 1 conse- quence of supporting the insurrectious. stan dard in the British colonies. The revoiu- tionary. fury was diffused throughout ‘the French armies ; the vices of superanuateds government were scofled at by a licentious multitude ; the hydra of faction reared. its” head and brought a. virtuous king to the block. For a lively illustration of these facts we refer our readers to a perusal of a dis- course delivered by the rev. Dr. Jpo. Stra- chan, D. D.at York, U. C. en the ‘late day of general thanksgiving. The most incorrigible sceptic must now be convinced that Great Britain has not a friend in the United States. i i —— Lrom the Arcadian ( Halifax ) Recorder. Mr. Holland—1It appears, by one of the American papers, that a tribute to skill and valor’ in the substantial form of « a splen- did and massy service of plate,” has been presented to commodore Perry by the citi- zens of Boston, the large pieces of which bare the following inscriptions : « September 10, 1813, Signalized our first triamph mn squadron avery superior British force on lake Erie was entirely subdued by Commopore O, H Perry, Whose gallantry in action, is equalled ’ ovly by his humanity in victory. Presented, In honor of the victor, by the citizens of BOSTON.” “To remove all doubt about who were the doners of this magnificent present, the let ter of accompaniment is signed by eleven gentlemen, representing them to be a $ committee of Boston citizens.” “Now, whether a lie fall suddenly from the lips, or be set forth at leisure, on paper canvass, metal or tablet of any kind; still that it isa lie not even Mr. Madison’s so- phistry can disprove. Its evil tendency, however, increases with its importance, no- toricty, and the means taken to prolong its influence in the public mind. The one be- fore us then is of the highest importance for a1 no less than the tried valor of our sea_ men does it insidiously point its envenomed shaft. We all know that this National lie has been said, sung, written painted and daubed, oyer and over and over again. It remained for the « great and respectable ci- ty of Boston, to transmit it to posterity in characters of silver. “ The American federalists have openly professed thetuselves among the bitterest enemies of the late French emperor ; yet no one of his celebrated victory bulletins, contained an assertion more dalse and scan- dalous, than stands unblushingly proclaim- ed its the third line of the above inscriptions. In France it was the hasty effort of one man, to deceive principally his own subs Jocts. In America itis toe deliberate: act { Bix thousand, men, of---acknowledged “ sober and steady habits.” To deceive whom { nat their own countrymen but the world, An imposition, too, founded on what might, by chance have happened therefore the more likely to pass current. ; « But who fs it, in particular that thus would build the exaltetions of Américans, upoil the debazementof Britons? It isnot our sworn cneniics the Democrats ¢ No such thigg. It isour ¢ staunch friends” the federalists ; for what i$ Boston but the hot-bed of tederalism ? Do the Democrats more than amuse, by vaunting upon their rabble army ; do not the federalists provoke our just indignation by basely columniating ‘our navy { Let any genuine son of Britam ask of himself these two questions. _« Now it 1s, that we fcel the short sight- ed policy of employing the Americans in our ships of war. Now has it recoiled up- on us, in. defeat, at least; if not in disgrace. We first taught them the rudiments of the art; they set up for themselves, and exen- cised daily: we hike other proficients were top wise to require it: they then turn a gainst their former masters ; and now-—sagl reyerse .----beat us with our own wea- Ons h But the nursery for American sailors, is at last totally broken up----our men, too, will henceforth be driiled at the guus, and Britih powder and shot no longer scatter useless in the air. / So shall dear bought ex- perience accomplish what reason could not. And so shall thd war wth America, illus- trate by additiongl examples, The maskedf enmity to American federalists ; The cool intiepidity of the British tar, du- ring houry of unavailing resistance a- gainst superior force ; and : The fortuitous uccess of skill, without valor, (posessing the advantage of pumb over the most consummate valor, when enfeebled by ignoranc ! « An Axti-Feperar Englishman « Halifax, 27th June, 1814.” 5 ——— rn Britain of the ~ ——p— .

We are informed that a report bas reachs ed general Jackson, that Spain has declar- ed war against the United Statesw— that the report was confided in, and that'eener al Jackson had ‘dispatched a miessenyer to Pensacola to ascertain the truth of it. + ——y SCP Agusta, Georgia, Aagust HH. The last Milledgeville mail has furnished an acconnt of a Declaration of war by Spain against this country. . As this account row comes, it does not seem to merit implicity confidence—it wil be seen that information of the report of such an event, is stated to have reached General Jackson, who has dispatched a messenger to ascertain its cor, rectness. That steps have been taken for renewing the Creek War seems pretty ob- vious, and that the Indians are receiving protection, supplies and © encouragement from Peasacolo, is, we believe, too evident to be doubted, and we have aright to ex- pecty that these transactions will even tally lead to very serious conequences. mit 4 tn FROM THE BOSTON CENTINAL. “Three of the public vessels of the United States are now in Lurops----the arrival of one of them from thence may be daily look- ed for. — nn NO NEWS FROM EUROPE. ——— INR More than two months have elapsed since the date of our last advices from any part, of Europe!
