l.md, England ar.d France. The Current of emigration to the United States has been very fircng !Tr the lafl Qs months ; but juJintr by what we fee in the Britifh and other foreign papers, we can confider it as hardly begun. 'I he people are prepat'iog, in manv place s, to leave their country hy neighborhoods or pitifliel, 3d ,t vere, and in the new it'orM to boffel and enjoy the friend: of their youth, by fettling together. The proceeding ha- excited much alarm in England, The papers teem with paiu'raphs to rheck the hope of :he people to benefit by the change ; and government is loudly called upon to interfere, prevent tbii 11 ruinous drain of the mofl ufeful part of the population of the United Kingdom." They note, in detail, the arrivals at New Yoik with pafiVngrrs, and on fumming up the amount, which wm only 220 for the week Hated, rhey fay u thefe f d s :ertalnly ic ferious ; coupled with the fehtU Pitnts which are now prevalent in America with regard to England, ?nd with refpeel to the avowed probbility of another war, at no difun: period, with this country, t'nev cannot to awaken rt flections of the moll gtoocny kind to who wilTi f r the peace and harmony of the world.'' From this it would appear, that cn ir crtise cf strength and prosperity so the V. States ii incompatible with the " peace if Harmon cf the world.'" This is I pure Mngiiih fentitnnt. Our M dangerous e--ample of fuccetsful rebellion" eternally haunts the imagination ot thofe who think they ought yet to be, end lately hoped tj . ive Pceft, our lords and m . ft e r s . But the time haa gone by. .Happy in our independrnce, wr Hi a 1 1 not interfere with the disputes or attempt to direct the? d ftines of o tiler nationa. We court prace, and rejef foreign alliances. We only def.re 11 to manage om own concerns in our own way." Why drool 1 our profperitv excite the envy of England I If it Ind not been for this bate riifim influencing her councils, we might ycr hive been her Coloniih j aixl if, in the natural couvfe of events, a fepration had tak'-n place, fhe might fiave avoided the lte humtliltioni of bar !ea and land f rces. She fought Ul into independence, in the fird place, ai'd fought us into a military c!uracer ill the lecood. I: is hcr own doing

that wc have a name among the nations of the earth ; and that an American, throughout the continent of Europe is looked upon as a fort of a prodigy, exciting the admiration and gaze of the commonality. If (lie would purfue a correct policy, flie will follow the advice that a diitiogui'hed Frenchman lately pave to one of her gret men at Pat:':? " u fought the Americans to long" fa;d he M and it ought to be your study to avoid a futwe ivar ivith them. They are ignorant of their means and strength to resist you; and it should be your turiness to keep them so." The Frenchman might have added, they alfo love peace, and it :s to your profit to cultivate that difpofition. Certainly, although there are few per for. 3 in the United States who do not confider another war with England 33 poifible, grow, ing out 'f her infole'nce ar.d pride, directed by her Envy, there are few, if any, that would vilh it. At any r?te, although there m. y be a general hoOility ot i'entimcnt to Ehnd, from caufii too numerous to detail, the foher reafon of all makes them heartly delire to lefTen it and it will die nw.'y as the feelings that gave rfe to it are blunted by time and future tourte'sey end just tee . , ... A? to emigration- is it a fruit of nur' that the European prefers our country to hit own tint he abandons the tombs ot anCe flora for the . wild woods ot America ?

t'rom the Dublin Evening Post of j unc 8. E M1GRA TIQN-.-Gcnerai Distress. Great alarm feems to be felt in Eogland on account of the difpoGttori to en.igrate maniieOcd by ail ranks of the community. 1 he middling order?, endeavoring to five fomething trom the wreck of tluir fortunes, are Collecting in variouf parte of the Country with a view to ttpot tation ; nav, we have heard, tha: three villages, or what we in Ireland, perhaps, might call handfome country towns, have had meetings fufficientty c;n when the plan of emigration was regularly difcufl'ed, and the practicability of its accompli (linient nnanin?ioiiy admitteda As they were principally fmail firmer?, agricultural pur were thofe which occurred to them ; but as they were aware of the extraordinary value of labor in America, they felt this circumllance a ferious impediment to their proj &a It waj then propofed to article a terrain number ct laborers out of employment for two years, with th-ir p.lTage free, a: a reafonabie falary. Whan it was known to the coir. -non people, the difficulty wa: not in the engagement but in the fcleition ufobjeftr. However determined to do nothing u: dvi!r jy, they ehofe two delegates, one of them being their curate, to to the Kent of the American government to make the proper enquiries, and to pave the way for the yoOAg colony. 1 he deputirg are now actually on their voyage. It ij no wonder tlint Path an event as t' is (llOfild excite alarm, In itf If, pet h ps, it is of no great Conicqoence whether 8Z0 or 10OO individuals remai.i or depart from the country; but it is its example. If it Ihould bttotpt fy ftematie, at whili jQrefs of taxes contmu-, there is every danpr that it znsy become fa there is is conjectur

ing where it will terminate. The trading towns, or we (hould have faid, the towns which were once the icenes of trade and bufinefc, will aiTemble next and wc fee pervaded that the only impediment prefented to the tide of population in its wft, erlycourfe, will be the difficulty of transportation, and want of adequate means to fupport the intermediate period of the voyage. We fliall here infert a letter from cur correlpondrr.t, which.we received ydlrrdav. It is on this very extraordinary imru.fc which the tunes have communicated to the people of England. London MoruJay night. We are forry to learn, that the emigration trom this country to America rather increafes than diminiihes. The mofi of our mips in the WeH Indies, it is (Uted, have been defertcd by the framen, who have been tempted to try thrir fortunes in America, infomueh that all the Hups that have recently failed for the Weft Indies, have been almofl dounly manned, in order to fill up the vacancies abroad, and to get to England ;he homeward bound Sect." . We fay nothing of the failora, for they atre blamcble in deicrting their allegiance ; hut can the people, as forac (hallow men pretend, be blamed fiom flying from mifery and deftrudion r h U not denied that the; mpft horrible diftrefi preva.ls in England, We thai! give a few piragraphs from the London paper of Monday, which, if proof were wanted, affords moll melancholy evidence of the f act : " o-jvera! hundred perions have recently been difchrged from the Icon w,.ksauil mines, in the neighborhood of Wellington, Kctly, Coalpit, Ban):, Ironbridge, &c. in Confequence of the deprclTed (late of trade. At Wellington, in particular, the diflrefs of the lower order is very great. On Sunday fen'night the town was ii:era!iy crowded Wfth petfona out of employ, many of whom in vain applied tc the recruiting parties. n Who can blame thofe men it" they wiffi to go to Amertct, where they are fore of employment of being well paid for their Unor of flerping wrll and of eating well ? No one, Cure!;;, except the incoo fide rate. But, unfortunately, people in the condition of tin ie laborers, often leave their families behind them, a burden to the parilh. The following is an i-xtracl from a London journal on the fuhjecl : Numbers of the laboring por who baveapplied at the different fefltons for certif.ctes to enable them to go to America, hare been wicked enough to leave behind them their wives and children, to be Supported by the parihes from which they have fed." ' How hard this is upon the remaining occupants it is not neteffary to fay. They can Icarcely fupport themfdves. 1 It is incredible,' i ys the Globe, " in the fmall provinciaj towns throughout England, what a number of decent and refpetabie families have funk through the ditlrefs of the tin.-s, and the enormous weight of taxation, into bank I uptcy and obfeurity." Such is the ftate of the country, 8c fuch are the people whom the well fed hirelings bUme Lr a .fh to change the glorious and CXpenGvc conllitution of Euglaod, for the ru :e but plentiful democrat y of America. Bu: it is not to America alone tbm emig ants i.etake thehifelves. By the following paragraph it lliould leem, that the llufGao government are offered tempting baits to the wretci.ed artifan. " There is a report, the? accuracy cf which we do not pretend to judge, that meafures have been taken to induce many ot our ae;if,ns to go to ftoffia. Cert I inly, the KufTnns hve recently had extraordinary opportunities of obtaining information refpecing every particular, both in the machinery and managenaent of Britifh Manutaaures."
