 Or relations soiih E,,glana.--No do- cument has yet been presented to Con gress, relative to the progress making in our negotiations with England. The English papers inform us, that Mr. Nc Lane one day had an interview with Lord Aberdeen, another day he calls on the Duke of Wellington, and subse- queHtly we hear of a conference with Mir. ferries, President of the Board of Trade. Now all this may seem very strange to the American people. who have been accustomed 10 read long di- plomatic letters, on every point in dis leassion, but we are Of opinion, that A4lr. McLanc has pursued the very path cal culated to carry him through successful l ly. He has made a business matter of Iit-has done nothing for effect, but goes the rounds of the Cabinet, and carries on his negotiations through eyey possi- i ble channel.

 lfnothing beneficial results from this untiring industry, we are, nevertheless, satisfied that nothing has been left un- done, that could be effected. There is certainly more friendly disposition to treat with the present administration, than with the last; but we must beari in mind, that nation goes on the ground of interest, not feeling; and with all the friendly consideration imaginable, the interest of the nation must control Mir, McLane may be able to effect some thingin recovering our lost trade, though appearances at present, are against the impression. The colonies have been sensitive en the subject, and the tory opposition party in England. appear to De against moving the question; and if fhe aegotiation fails altogether, we can have 70 more reason to quarrel with Great Britain for refusing OFT corn, shan Great Britain has with US, in in- posing enormous duties on her manufac- Gtss::=es. The London Morning Journal, treats the subject in the following way;

 The Americans exclude our manu- lectures except on payment of ofenormous duties. They tell us that they do this because we refuse to allow them to par ticipate in our colonial trade? What right have they to participate in this trade? No more than We have to par ticipate in the profits of the Bank of England. hLf. Canning in his cores pondence with Mr. GalEatin, has settled this point most eheetually."

 But are the Americans not pursu- ing that identical policy which they would have us abandon in tl2eir favor? They see that it isbetter to make bIan- kets at home than be dependant upon England. They think 1t the wiser po- Hey 10 weave broad cloths and make fire shoyels than trust for their supply to Leeds or Birmingham.

 Suppose we were to open our West India ports to the Americans tomorrow what then? Would they repeal the tariff? No. They would laugh at us and advance new claims. Suppose we were to admit their flour on terms ad- Yantageous to them-would they be sat isiied? Nc. They would say our cot ton and tobacco duty was enormously heavy and injurious to their interests, and that unless we reduced the tax, so as to increase the consumption, they should insist upon retaining the tariff, keeping the colonial trade, and sending as much four as they pleased, and that on their own conditions, or they would shut their ports against us altogether. Our wisest policy is to keep our ozus trade 10 ourselves, We should endeayor to cement all the interests of the coun- Itry in one harmonious union, and be as little dependent on foreign nations as possible. h this way prices will rise the price of the quartern loaf may be doubled, but the wages of the artisan will be tripied, and the latter is of far greater consequence 10 the manufactur- CT than the former is to the farmer and land owner"
