Amid the affected disdain that is so often as
sumed by thepress and orators of England, when
there is occasion to allude to America, lively
jealousy of the growing power of the republic is
easily discovered. But, one at distance, like
yourself, may not be aware Of the extent TO
which this feeling is allied with apprehension of
Russia. The wise policy Of Alexander created
afhnltes Of an alarming nature between the govern
ment Of Russia, and that Of America and, mingled
with reluctance to give us fair words and honest
treatment that goes nigh to choke them, the states
men here, are beginning to feel the necessity Of
counteracting some of the bad consequences of
their own former blunders.


Keeping the question of our moral dependence
out of view, and returning to this country, think
the jealousy of Russia is about to produce a
change of policy as respects America. 1t is quite
impossible for one never out of America, to an
preciate the nature and extent of the interest that
all the higher classes, here feel in their foreign
policy. In America, we are almost in state Of
nature, as regards every thing of the sort, the
world furnishing no example perhaps of peop e
so much neglecting all the great interests that are
not placed Immediately before their eyes. Did
the people of the United States understand their
true situation, the intentions, expectations. and
wishes of this part of the world, they would at
once exhibit naval force, that should demonstrate
the hazard of ncurring their just resentment.
