For these testimonials of the public confidence, and their approbation of the course pursued in the management of the paper, the Editor feels the most heartfelt gratification and while he tenders them his acknowledgements, necessity compels him to make an appeal to their liberality and justice. A reluctance, which nothing but the most-urgent necessity could ovei come, could have induced him to commence the task of dunning, which is at all tiroes disagreeable, but now absolutely indispensable. The very large sum of money which is due him, (being nrere than the whcla Tettibfe Accident. A fetter just received in tosro, gives an account of the loss of a boat belonging. to Messrs.

'You may he fully assured that a perfect understanding subsists between our Government' and that of France, and that measures will be taken accordingly; indeed it has been roundly stated, that the project has long since received the sanction of both parties, and that cur Government only waits intelligence from" Europe, to take that stand which, I much fear, will end in the destruction of our Federal Constitution.

subscriber. H'indsor, Dec 4, War in Europe The people of Spain and Portugal have abundant reason to curse the British cabinet and nation. But for, the intrigues of British emissaries, these countries would now have been in a state ol tranquillity, and the terrific war-blast would not have been sounded through their vales. Spain, in strict alliance with France, felt not the convulsive throe of war, until the emissaries of England wrought upon Ferdinand to seek the usurpation of his fathers throne. France would not quietly look on and see Spain wrested from her alliance, and annexed to Great-Britain, without an effort to prevent it.

The British embarked their troops and treasure for the Peninsula, and the French poured in opposing armies. The unfortunate countries were ravaged by marauders on every side, and havoc marched with resistless strides through every department. The inhabitants were plundered to support their invaders, and were obliged to risk their lives in a cause not their own. It is clear that this was a contest between Frapc; abd England, to obtain possession, of the resources of Spain and' Portugal. Li the present situation of Europe, these nations cannot maintain their independence.
