In debate (Feb. 14th) in the house of commons a member said, the spirit of animosity in America would justify an increase of the naval force in the West Indies. This called up Lord Castlereagh, who said, "As to America, it is said great prejudices exist here against her; it was, he said, his most earnest wish to discountenance this feeling on both sides, and to promote between the two nations feelings of reciprocal amity and regard. Certainly there were no two countries whose interests were more naturally and closely connected; and he hoped that the course which the government of each country was pursuing was such as would consolidate the subsisting peace, promote harmony between the nations, and prevent, on either side, the recurrence of any acts of hostility."
