The Editor of the Baltimore Patriot has been favored with the following interesting extract of a letter from a gentleman in Europe, (who has the best means of ac quiring the most correct informa tion,) to" his friend iu Baltimore dated lfith January. Whether his predictions , are well - founded or not must soon be realised, j My unconquerable persuasion is, that War must break out ere longand that France ahd England must be parties. Every; effort will be made by England to involve us some way or other. 'IJcnozo that a policy pf this effect; has be'eh agreed on and laid down in Eng land several years ago, as the 'po licy to be; observed with "respect to us.wheneyer any new war should occur. There was a policy adopt ed then, and it will be followed, not to allow us to enjoy profita bleneutrality and 4o re-become the factors of' the world. ' They will move every spring to deprive us of V. another indefinite" term' of progressive, unexampled prospe rity. They. will not allow a renew al of Jonathan's thrifty, nourishing system "of paddling his: own canoe and picking op grists all oyer the mill ponds of the world, and of ef fecting in some twenty years, what other nations have.required centu ries, to accomplish.
