The Kcpubllcan statesman saw fill liter on one sub ject than our ten l!i>-d lory Lords. II.. was master enough ol our practice to judge truly both of the unliiui «d ti. e ilom ol the press, and <•( the speedy limit which is put on newspaper authority. ‘Our definition of libel,’he says, is inherently vague,* (how, we a«k, can it be otliei wise?) ‘but perhaps no where has the press so much latitude.* Six months in London satisfied him that it was impossible to wiitc down either the senso or the character td a nation, i lie supposed journalism ot the times i« an i input alien indi e I, against whicli the journals themselves have constantly protested. • Nothing,’ says Mr. Kti-h, * can he more un founded than the notion that (lie ncwspapeis govern the country. There is a power not only in iho government, but in tli* country itself, lar above 'them. It lies in the educated classes.’ i c po'itiral differences yet left open between England ami A in erica arc of an riMhai rowing ami cridc.il cliarac* (cr.

Auorica, it is true, has the raw material ol power growing v;> around her to an almost supernatural extent. ( he nations! leclings which broke out on the loss of (ho Chesapeake, show that her spirit is in advance e»en id her power. It is not the less for her interest and her honor, that she should not bn mb led by blustering bullies, or theoretical calculators, ot whom every country has -ome lo spare, respecting the nature o! the dilfirultie* ot discontents ol England. The time is still, we believe, fat distant, when it would not be a gioss mistake ou her p.iri to imagine (hat wai ia x better instrument than negotiation tor the settlement ol our political disputes. What says Mr. Rush ? • Let contemporary nations fay it to their account, dial Et gland is more powerful now than ever she was, notwithstanding her debt and taxes. This know ledge should hum an element in their foreign po licy. Let them assure themselves, that instead of dc ('lining, she is advancing ; that her population increases fast; that she is constantly seeking now tit Ids ol en terprise in other parts of the glolie, and adding to the improvements that altoady cover her island at home, new ones that proini.-e lo go heyond them in magnitude; in tine, that instead of being worn out, as at a distance i.< sometimes supposed, -be is going s-head with the biioyani Spirit and vigmous «trort ol youth. It is an observation ol Madame dc Siael, bow ill England is understood on the Continent, in spite ol the little distance that separates her Irorn it. Ilow much more likely that nations, between whom and hriscll all ocean interposes, should tall into mistakes on the true nature of her power and pro-pccts; should imagine their foundations to be crumbling, instead ot steadily striking into mote depth, and spreading into wider compass.’ Speaking of the sea, and ihe present character of the English navy, lie says, England, in her n xt war, will accomplish 11,0 0 ag.dnxt Europe upon this element, than at any former period, bhe will start, iu-teailol ending, with her supremacy com; lately es tablished. I he displays of her power will he more im j mediate, as well as more formidable, than the world hat tn fore seen.’ This, to ho sure, is rather a dillerent ac count I tom what was sent over not many years ago by 1 predecessor, as credulous as Mr. Cooper could desire. Tin I lematurc alarmist advised bis government to cut all con lu-xiiiti with im as decently, but a-quickly as pos>il le, lo we were iu«\itably going down.

What aro we to think ol human nature—what of the barbarity ol those who hold in their iron hand* the happiness ol nations,—it that simple state ment dors not bring the Statesmen of bolli countries, at once and instantly 'o terms of compromise and peace! I 'I lie mosi valuable psrt of Mr. Hush’s volume ia his nar rative ol the course which was taken in llie conference ol 1*18, upon this subject. Our readers will have antici pated that we ate alluding to the teartul question of the impressment of supposed British seamen from American ' vessels. It is the mine fvnrlul.a* ip such case it ought to | lie, since, in our opinion, we arc decidedly in the vs tong ; with respect both to the general question ami the conduct I ol the conference. Mr. Hush explains the principles which 1 were admitted on both sides ; the point which the tiego- \ tiation icached ; ami the miserable objection upon our part, on which it ultimately went oil. Tho termination is the moie stiaugs, since the American Ministers and I.oid Castleroagh appear to have been equally desirous of com ing to an umleistanding. The arrangement, »1 hough re vocable in form, being limited to ten years, was of a na tuie to slide in>o permanence, and to have taught us our true interest before we weie aware. With thi* view, it i was proposed to exclude the natural born subjects and citizens of either party (persons already naturalized ex cepted) from serving in the public or private maiine <>f the other. Thi* was the principle agreed upon.— l 1 Plenipotentiaries, however, could not agree on the 1 mode hy which llie persons entitled to the exception should be identified, and on the period from which the operative exclusion under the treaty should begin to! run. The reader w ill perceive from this statement, j that the negotiators differed only on the cases included in I 'he exception. Lord Kipou and Mr. Goulburn insisted,' on 'lie part ol Great Riilain, tli.it a list ol persons entitled j totVe exception should be made out on both rides, and in- ! tcr< hanged within twelve inoulhs, specifying the place of I their birth, nml the dates of their naturalization. Mr. | Ru.«li sud Mr. Gallatin, on llie part of America, showed that it would be quite impracticable ill many ra*es for tlieir government to comply with the proposed conditions. I bey submitted, therefore, tlut a natural born Biiti.h subject, w hose name might not appear on the list, should liavs tho benefit of the exception, in case lie xliould be able to produce proof of liix having been duly uaitiral i iacd piior to Ilia exchange of tho ratifications ol the I treaty. The Riitish Plenipoton'iaiie* insisted further, i Out llie beiirtil ot iiitur<tliz<iiinii lor tbi* purpose should j attach, unless the naturalization had become com I plete previous to the signature ot the trevy.—The | American Plenipotentiaries replied, that, according to their constitution, no treaty was binding until exchange y>f ratifications; and that, consequently, it was impossible j to exclude from any ol llie riglita of citizens, (the right ot ; following tho seas among iho rest,) subjects already na turalized, although between llie signature and ils ex change. It will be observed that tha objections pointed out by the representatives ol Amerira were objections ol principle, such as no pains on ilieir part could possibly get rid of. Oil the other hand, the exception was retrospec tive only. It was to include none but persons who sliou'd be already naturalized when llie ratification* came to be exchanged; ami there could be no fraudulent rush made ! for naturalization duiiug llie interval; since, by the Amo ; rican l.i iv, a previous residence for five years is an indis pensable condition. How few, therefore, under these re strictions could have fraudulently crept in under the Ante rican amendment, who would have been shut out by the original Brinsli propositions; and in bow lew years, slioit a< is a sailor's life, must every naturalized British seaman have disappeared from the service of (lie United Stales! W « readily admit, that,in the present stale ol the world, it is very important that civilized nations should endeavor , to approximate within reasonable limits the rules by which allegiance is created, suspended, or determined. In the meantime, every country i* entitled to use its own discrc i ,^on lt°w lar it will loose its hold on ils own citizens. An English merchant is allowed during war, hy domicile 1 "ithin a neutral territory, lo put on the character ol a neutral. 1 lie claim ol an English sailor to serve on board a neutral vessel, would be no greater inconsistency with, or limitation ol, the old common law doctrine, that no one , can lay aside hi* allegiance. However, any modification ■ " .... or any eiliaticipallou ot (he English teamen from the specific liabi'i ies to which ! lie is a! present hound by the unjust anomaly of the Eng lish law against him, is s sliict municipal question, to he ! discussed between the English people and tbeii legisla i ,l,,e »l«ne. At the same time it is clear, from a hundred , reasons, that hy far (lie most satisfactory way in which im pressmen! from American vessels could possibly be set at | rest, would be by putting an end to domestic impressment bom our own. The Biitisli sailor ought lobe placed on a le j vcI with bis fellow-subjects.

The order tng up an American crew, on an American deck, by an Lughsl, Lieutenant, cannot be a peaceable operation; es when y where® is so easily made, and where, n hen once made, It is so revolting in itself, and so fatal in ils consequences. In point of fact, it turns out that the number of British seamen whom we have thus regained bills far short of the number of Americans whom wo have wrongfully carried ofr.

On the war with America in 1812, another divi non ol fourteen hundred and liventy-iwo native Ameri cans, every one ol them having been so taken, were trans lerred out ol our men ot war into our prisons! This is proved from English documents. Here are nearly two thousand six hundred sufferers,—victims of a greater out rage than one free nation ever assumed the privilege ol in Hiding on another;—an outrage which no nation, deserv ing the name ol a nation, and solemnly bound to protect Us meanest members, can be expected patiently to en i lire. I be temptation to all this wrong is too trivial to bo mentioned. It exists only during wsr. At that period tbe I;;-!- °< foreigner* in «»>e American navy is, we believe, mlimitfy less than in our own, where (as we then sus pend the navigation acts,) it has been calculated at a third ol tbe whole.
