After this, the British officers who violated the restrictions imposed on the Gurriere, by carrying a challenge on boird to Captain Thompson and his odiccrs, to meet theofliccrs of the 6ith regiment, magnanimously acknowledged the impropriety of their conduct, and . 1 , ?,. , Americans.

Indeed, we are assured, that the honorable conduct of the officers of the Gurriere, on this occasion, was the theme of panegyric even amongst the Englishmen at Gibraltar. Governor Don had been instructed by his government to bring the offending officers of the Garrison to a Court IWartial, and informed Commodore Dainbridgc of his desire to do so, but, upon application to Captain Thompson and his officers, for a statement of facts, telativc to their visit on board the Gurriere, t'ev declined makuj anv report whatever on the sub- i i We learn, moreover, that the Britis!i government were net well pleaded ' ' i whh the Governor for adopting so Inrsh a measure acainst our snuadron, on so tnvolous a pretext as a private disnute between two younjJ o'heers ; and th.it Conimouorc Bam b ivig ;, in his negotiations with the Governor upo i the subject, maintain ed! the honor of his Officers, and the dignity of his countrv, with an inde pendence and firmness worthy of his character and station. It is much to b.i reioiced at, that) this unpleasant afl ur has terminated thus arnica lv and satisfactorily : and if we are not deceived in our iudtr-l ment of human nature, it will be the foundation of a more friendly regard o a the p.irtof the British officers towards those of our Xavy on that station than has heretofore existed, or coul! hive existed, in the common course ofthi'.gs.

ENGLAND, Nothing will be more mortifying to the pride of George the fourth,

who is not inaptly called a dandy of 60, if the Queen shall succeed with the people in causing herself to be crowned. The ceremony cannot be seperately performed ; they must be crowned together, although they may ride to Westminster Abbey in scparate coaches, or walk under separate canopies. It will not be the most pleasant duty for his Majesty to take the hand of his " car a siosa" to whom he has not spoken for 1 5 years to lead her to the velvet cushion to put, himself, the crown on her head, and to go through all the respectful, devoted, though after all, ridiculous ceremonies of coronation and to hear cries of "God save the Queen," when from the bottom of his hear! he wishes she was with his satannic majesty. Yet this may ? 11 happen. George Rex is obstinately determined that she shall not be crowned, while she as obstinately insists upon her rights.
