[London paper."}
PEACE OR WAR ?
The following is from the New-York
" Ameriean Citizen,"* a democratic paper
of high standii.g ; the Editor of which has
some pretensions to " official confidence'*
" It is not probable that a catagorical an-
swer, in four days, or a catagorical answer
at all, has been required by our ministers
with regard to the impressments from our
merchantmen. Negotiations on this sub-
ject, at once delicate and of difficult adjust-
ment, have been on the tapis many years.
Washington, the " father of his country,"
found it impossible to obtain from the Bri-
tish government any concession on that
ground ; and Mr. Adams, his successor, af-
ter many well directed efforts, was equally
unfortunate. Since the presidency ot Mr.
Adams, Mr. Jefferson has, with zeal and
ability, directed his attention to an abate-
ment or removal of the grievance, but t* ith
no greater success. In January, 1804, Mr.
Madison concludes an elaborate paper, ad-
diessed to Mr. Monroe, with intimations to
withdraw from the court of London, unless
he could obtain a treaty, otherwise agreea-
ble, expressly relinquishing the right of
searching our merchant ships for men. Did
he withdraw ? No, nor has he to this mo-
ment, although nearly four years have since
elapsed. The truth is, and it cannot and
oijght not to be concealed, that great as the
grievance, wrong as the pactice is, not one
man could have been found- in the country, I
except some mad cap, ready to go to war 1
to redress it, had it not been for the indig-
nation excited by the outrageous conduct of
the Leander and the Leopard. If " repa-
ration and atonement" be made in the ca<,e
of the Chesapeake, some ol the best inform-
ed and most judicious men ot our party
6cem to be 01 opinion, that it would be
better to leave the other questions open for
dicussion and negotiation than upon it to
involve the country in war."
[The ' National Intelligencer,'' cf yester-
day has ihese remarks, winch bear upon
this all-important question.]
" . hat the British government will be
called upon to give an eaiiy answer to our
demands ; that they will be informed that
in this case the indulgence 6f a procrastina-
ting spirit wift not be admitted, is extreme-
ly probable ;' and it may hs tha* this intima-
tion has been tortured, under the influence
,f hostile feeling, into the haying made a
lemahd for a categorical answer within four
days."
" It is not because Britain is oppressed
by the weight of a hostile world, that we de-
mand any thing of her ; but because she
has done us injustice. As we should have
made this demand in the zenith of her glory,
so it it our right to make it in her present
perilous, if not humble state. It is also
1 Br duty to make the demand ; because if
she refuse redress, we have ourselves the
means of ontaining it ; and possessed of the
right and the power, our national cha-
racter would suffer were it to be waved."
From the New-York Evening Post.
TEXTS.
" All, too, will bear in mind this sacred
principle, that though the will of the majo-
rity is, in all cases, to prevail, that will to
be rightful must be reasonable ; that the mi-
nority possess their equal rights."—feffcr-
son's Inaugural Speech.
" A due-p rticipation of office is a matter
"f right."—Ditto's Letter to Neiu-Iluoen
merchants.
" I sincerely lament that unessential differ-
ences of opinion should have been deemed
sufficient to interdict half the society from
the rights and the blessings of self-govern-
ment ; , participation of office J to prosciibe
diem as unworthy of every trust."—Idem et
ibid.
COMMENT
" They (the federal editors) repeat their
presumption that colonel Patten will be ap-
pointed post-master-general," " but they may
rest assured that the president -will never
ippoint u federalist to an office of so much
importance and responsibility i col. Patten
is a federalist, and consequently should not
and will nut be appointed." —Amer. Citizen.
The troop of horse attached to the 6th
brigade, commanded by Joseph H. Nichol-
son, jun. of Queen Ann's county ; the
companies commanded by captains Nathan
Brawner and John B. Wills, of Charles
county, and the rifle company commanded
by John Elder, of Baltimore county, have
tendered their services to the executive of
Maryland, as part of the quota required by
the general government-
Alexandria, October 26.
Arrived, ship George, Walker, 48 days
from Liverpool—salt and dry goods.
Died on Saturday, the 24th instant, Mrs.
Eliza Roberts, w ife of Mr. John Roberts,
of this city, in the 23d year of her age.
To virtues like her's eulogy cannot add
lustre : they were not of that ostentatious
kind which challenge the applause and at-
tract the admiration of the busy world: they
were not of that austere kind which grow
in the dreary region of a cold heart: but
they were modest, unaspiring virtues, which
spring up in a heart overflowing with love
and gratitude to God, and glowing with the
genial warmth of the social affections : they
are not, neither did they ever aspire to be,
inscribed on the tablets of fame ; but they
are engraven in indeliable characters on the
hearts of her friends.
