It is remarkable, that Cobbett has not written twenty lines on the defeat of the English at New-Orleans. In his Register of the 11th March, he gives the first dispatch of the English Gen. Lambert, dated 8th January, 1815, and the following preface:

"DRUBBING THE YANKEES."

"Well, Johnny Bull, what do you think of matters now? Does the following bulletin shew that you have been able, as the patriotic alderman (Curtis) said you would, to give the Yankees "a confounded drubbing?" But I find I must postpone my remarks on this interesting subject. The landing of Napoleon in France will occupy public attention for some days at least.—The appear already as mad about this event as they were when they heard of his deposition: but although a great many are rejoicing at this occurrence, who formerly exulted in his downfall, such is the fickle disposition of honest John, that it will be some time before his sentiments upon this subject, or his opinion as to the defeat of his "American army, be properly ascertained." We have several numbers subsequent, but although Gen. Jackson's dispatches are published, there is not a word of comment —Lord Castlereagh has explained it in parliament, on the motion for erecting a monument—the cut is too deep, and the wound so sore that, even Cobbett, with the recollection of his thousand pounds and the foreign troops is too much a John Bull not to feel it.
