Portland Gazette, And Maine Advertiser

From the London Courier, Jan. 15-19.

America conceives herself to have received an injury—and we come forward, and offer reparation. If the offer be not deemed adequate to the injury sustained, it is incumbent on her to point out where it is deficient, and to declare what additional degree of concession is necessary to make up the complement of satisfaction. This she seems determined not to do, but declares her willingness to hear what we have further to offer, till reserving to herself the privilege of rejection, until we have come up to the unknown standard which she keeps concealed. There is no true dignity in this reserve, and though she may consider it a very profound policy, we are much mistaken if Mr. Albert Gallatin will not convince her that it is likely to be ruinous only to herself."

"That a new minister will be sent to America we cannot believe. Our minister has been treated with such indignity, that we do not see how we can expose any other to a similar treatment. We repeat what we said a day or two ago—that our course is clear and straight; America is in a passion—we are not: if she chooses to act rashly, we do not. She may send away our ambassador; but we will not therefore declare war. She may break off all intercourse with us, we shall not quarrel with her on that account; but we shall at least expect that she shall be the first to make any fresh overtures or proposals for accommodation."
Great-Britain and America.

"The conduct of Mr. Jackson in his correspondence with our government, (we are assured by a gentleman who came passenger in the Savannah) has met with the almost unanimous approbation of his countrymen. It was not expected that another minister would be sent to this country, if Mr. Jackson could not effect the object of his mission."
