A gentleman at Washington city has forwarded to the editor several numbers of COBBETT'S REGIS TEB, from which the articles inserted in this paper are extracted. We are indebted to another gentleman of that city for a review of Clerk's naval tactics, an interesting and very pleasant communication, laid off for our next paper-in which, also, we expect to present an important article on manufactures.

We shall proceed leisurely to give many imporfant state papers that have grown out of the late events in Europe.

You will ask, what takes place in this respect, when we get beaten; as in the case of Plattsburg, Lake Champlain, Lake Erie, New-Orleans, &c. Why, we hold our tongues. We do not talk about the matter, except to praise the valor of our troops for a day or two. Indeed, the country people in Eng land, and a great many of the towns-people, never know any thing of such defeats. The London newspapers, which alene have any very wide circula tion, are employed in the spreading of faisehood and the suppressing of truth.
