Quoted from the London Courier – “It is well known to the world that his majesty’s government (partly from the contempt in which it has held the men who have so disgracefully conducted public affairs in America) have not heretofore thought it expedient to resent their marked ill will and injurious acts towards Great Britain. These provocations on the one side, and forbearance on the other, have served only to encourage their aggravated repetition, until at length the American government has ventured to commit a direct act of war. It is fully ascertained that the action with the Little Belt was not accidental, but the consequence of special orders from the American government intended to produce an action with a British ship of war. What have the advocates of these republicans to say now?”
