The conduct of the British at Halifax and in Canada, seizing ships and goods, is highly reprehensible. British vessels from Halifax and British goods from Canada, have been freely admitted into the United States. It is to be regretted that such demonstrations of ill-will, if not enmity, should be manifested by the public agents of our late enemy. We cannot however permit ourselves to doubt but that arrangements will promptly be made to prevent such exceptionable deportment. If it does not cease and promptly too, we must promptly retaliate.
