our petitions, have in fact, long and long domineered over both King and People. If Canning be the cause of putting an end to this domination, or if it be put an end to merely by the use of his name, he will be entitled, or at

A letter received at New York from Carac
'h, dated June 1st. says. "A messenger ar
rived last night from Bogota. Congress had "iet,;ind refused to accept the resignations of Mci.iv:i and Santamh.m
la-e to abide by the sentence of their judgment , nor be reluctant at the exhibition belorr them of all tbeeviiltr.ee w hich nmv tt:nd to enlighten their decision. It is not to be exjtected t!mt,onder the excitement of all the
passions, incidental to a popular election, the
laws ol truth will be observed in the chargesof heated tartisans; and, amidst all the bitternes with which Ibne been assailed, I have flci iv ed much s.itisf iction.ln inferring,
Mrom the nature d the charges l)Couriit against
me, the ab-ence ol such as might have been less answerable."' From the National Intelligencer. English Delates. We give, to-day, some
fuither extracts from the late Debates in the
British Parliament, w hich our readers w ill
find quite as piquant and entertaining as those which we have already inserted. In makinir
our selection, from the various reports of the:-e
Debates, as tliey are furnished by the different London papers, we have been struck with
much surprise by one fact, and that is, the ex-i
treme dissimilarity which we discover in the
iiuerent reports given of the same speeches.
This variation is general throughout the De-
bates,and is so great in regard to some speech
es, that we could scarcely determine, by any
intrinsic eviuence, whether the same speech
was intended by the di lie rent reports of it or
not. I his discrepancy evinces much less accuracy than we had attributed to the Parlia
mentary Debates. Of the ''New Opposition"
the Morning Chronicale remarks, that "thev
drive at the rate oftifteen miles an hour' Of
Mr. Plkl, the same paper says.
'We yesterday observed,notw ithstanding the ubdued tone of Mr. Peel on Tuesday night, it required no great .share of discernment to dis
cover that the heart of the speaker was Idled
with the most intense animosity against Mr. Canning. Last night he rould no longer contain himself; the pent-up lire burst forth with a fury that bore every obstacle before it; and the Light Honorable Gentleman, finding an assumed character no longer compatible with the state of his feelings, and highly incovenicnt
plunged boldly into open and tierce hostility."
Cuhittt, in one of his late Ileeisters, makes
the following lemarks upon Ihe subject of the late political changes in England: ' If I had the power to obtain the attention of his Majesty upon this occasion, Cannintr is
amongst the last men upon the face of the faith w hom 1 would have recommended, except as'a man eminently qualilie d to pull down the whole fabric of the present destructive system. Put if (lie King had chosen ft man still more unfit to be Minister; if be had chosen (I do not sup
pose probable) the Plight honored Gentleman

ry other statement of iact contained in your ietter. voj mistake both the character and the
fate ol this hill. I l eg le;ne btst to repeat the very important remark, that, in this, as in several other errors which 1 hue pointed out in your despatch ol January, li27, you have not only fallen into mistakes off act, hut it is these mistakes of fact which j mi oiler to Mr. Gallatin and to the American Government, in justification of the rash policy of breaking up the direct intercourse between the Lritish We,t Indies and Noi th America. When, tb icfor?, I minutely point out these your errors, it is not merely the exercise of a close criticism upon your Utter to Mr. Gallitin. although the lone of that letter destroys your title to anything but rigid justice inconstruing it. Put, in expo? ing your errors, 1 put the Lritish Govtri.ment in the wrong and the AmeiieanGov tau'iient in the iibt,inthe contro
versy. Now , then, let us look at your account of Gen. Smith's bill,compared with the bill itself. Heie I must, for the sake of greater clear
ness, go back to your last letter but one to Mr.
Gallitin, (that of Nov. 13, 1326,) to which 1 have not before referred, having found in that of January 27, quite as much to rectify as my limits enable me to comprehend. Toward the close of your letter of November 13, 182 G. you say "It seems difficult to imagine how they the United States can feel it to be unjust or unkind(it certainly is not so felt or intended on the part of this country) that the United States, having upon a free and (a? is known from the
public proceedings ol their Legislature) deliberate consideration, declined to subscribe to (he terms on which exception from colonial prohibition was tendered impartially to all na
tions they omitf'ey should find themselves, in common with such of these nations
as have decided like themselves, liable to
that exclusion, which is and always has been
the general principle of colonial trade."
A considerable part of Mr. Gallatin's answer
is taken up, in showing you that the terms of
the aet of Parliament, of June and Ju'y, lb25.
were not, and could not, have been, for reasons
which he states, understood by the American
Government. In allusion to the parajrraph
which 1 have just quoted troni your letter, he remarks as follows: "The proposition made (hiring the last ses
sion of Congress, and to which Mr. Canning has alluded, a fiords an additional proof of the im
perfect understanding, owing to the complexness of the several acts of Parliament, which at that time prevailed respecting their true object and inteution.
That proposition was only for a repeal of t
the discriminating auues, and, u auopteu, would have been unavailing, since, not embracing a repeal of the restrictions of the circuitous inter-
right and you were wrong. 1 he bill is short, and I shall quote it entire. "A Pill supplementary to an act to regulate the Commercial Intercourse between the United States, and certain Lritish Colonial Ports. Be itmactol th Senate $ lL vsc of Ucprc sentath-cs of the I'nitul States in Congress asstmblcd, That no other or higher duties of lm-
post cr tonnage, anu no oiuei ur muci uuiv or charge of any kind, upon any goods, waits, or merchandise, imported from the following free port- of the Lritish Colonies, viz. Kir gs-
ton. m Jamaica, kc. m lmttfh vessel?, st.au dc lev ied or exacted, in any of the ports of the United States, excepting in the ports of Florida) than upon the vessels of the United St.'U s, ami uj.cn the like goods, wares, or merchandise, imported into the ports of the United States in the same;any thing in the M. sccuon of the act to which thi is supplementary, dated 1st March, lo2:3, to the contrary notwithstanding. Sec. 2. .hi J be tt further iractei. That this act shall be in force from and after the P.Uth day of June next. Frc- i Ud. icrerthtlcss, That, ppon satisfactory evidence heme: given to the President of the'United States, that any discriminating duties of tontmage or impost are imposed or levied in either of the ports afoiesiid, upon vessels wholly belonging to the citizens
oi the United States, or upon merchandise the
produce and m mulacture thereof, imported in the same, the President is hereby authorised to issue his proclamation declaring tbe fact;
whereupon this act shall thereafter be suspen
ded and discontinued, so fir as it respects the
ports or places in w hich such discriminating
duties are imposed or levied.1
This is the whole of the act, with the exception of the names of the ports, omitted for brevity. It follows, therefore, 1st. That Mr. Gallatin was right in asserting, and you wrong iu contradicting his assertion, that the proposition in the Senate was for the repeal of the discriminating duties only: and,
It is now clear as day, that the provi-
2d.
sionsof the acts of Parliament of June and Ju
ly, 1825, were not understood here, inasmuch as this bill of Gen. Smith, avowedly drawn by him to meet those prov isions by Gen. Smith, who took credit to himself then and since for understanding those provisions, although others did not a bill to which you confidently refer, to prove that these provision were submitted to the American Legislature, and rejected in this bill. I say nothing was proposed but a repeal of the discriminating duties. The prohibition of the "circuitous voyage1 remained untouched by the bill. You will please to remember, that General
Smith is of Laltitnore; that he presented the Baltimore petitron, of which you make so much use, and that he took the lead in this whole business, at the instigation of the citizens of that place; so at least, he observed last Winter. His bill, therefore, may he taken as an authentic indication of the manner in which your' acts were understood by him and his contituents. Consequently, all you have alledged on
that head tails to the ground. I have thus proved that ycu have totally mistaken the character of this bill. With regard to its fate, you say, its final r"
