It is said that "straws indicate which way the wind blows;" and the late change of tone in the British writers, as clearly shews that how much soever our country may have been contemned, her growing prosperity and strength, in the eyes of the British writers, are not now quite so despicable. The homage paid to our "fir built frigates" is enough to gratify our proudest national feelings.

The allied sovereigns of Europe were to have assembled at Aix-la-Chapelle some time in the beginning of the present month. It is hinted, that, among other subjects to which their attention will be called, the dispute between the United States and Spain will not be the least important. We can have no objection to the members of the holy alliance freely discussing the matters in controversy between us and Spain; but further they must go. We can manage our own affairs in our own way, without the interference of mediators.—Savannah Repub.
