The following article from a New York paper does not, by any means, surprize us ; though the important fact it communicates, happened sooner than was expected. Mr. JACKSON has quitted abruptly the American seat of Govern ment—the object of his mission unaccomplished; the dif ferences he was sent to conciliate, rendered more difficult of arrangement. There is a great deal of the hypocrisv, grimace, disingenuousness, petty-fogging, waspish, and trifling spirit, so justly attributed to modern diplomacy, prominently visible in every feature of the present transac , hon. The American Government and our Minister com menced, it would .appear, the negociation, pre-determined to obstruct rather than to advance an adjustment. The voice of reason, interest, moderation, compelled the parties to affect sincerity and conciliation ; that of passion, pride, aad false independence, filled their hearts with rancour, whilst their lips breathed the language of peace. The sen timents of the American Executive were known to be hostile ; they leant with a strong tendency to the measures which the infuriated policy of France continues to en force, in the avowed intent of annihilating the prosperity of this country. When these sentiments were so ill-dis guised ; when they were expressed in every public docu ment that had any reference to the subject, and were fla grantly manifest in the wagging, crouching, hand-lick ing servility that Government opposed to the brutal pre tensions and insults of BUONAPARTE ; whilst they had the audacity to hold out the language, look, action of d.-fiance, and menace at this country. Under these circumstances, it was trifling with candour and the national dignity, to come !pence a negociation where there was not the remotest prospect of success. Our Government could not concede. 'The American required concession; and that with a per emptoriness, which implied a wish to be refused. If in human affairs, there be a moment in which humiliation is commendable, this is not the season !
