cHci France were engaged in a most arduous struggle, and we interfered and assaulted one of them, will au) man doubt our intention to assist the other ? Some connection seems also to be implied in the proposal which was made by the French Emperor, that the Congress at Prague should be composed 'of Plenipotentiaries from France, the United States, Denmark, and the other Allied Priuces, on the one hand, and the Plenipotentiaries of England, Russia, Prussia, and their Allies on the other. Previously to the French Revolution, there was seldom an instance in the history of civilised nations-, in - which a Prince or Government engaged in war 'without alleging reasons to justify the measure; and though in some cases, the motive* to the war were urjust, the reasons assigned were specious, and, in: pretence itt least, were founded in neeessity. But the French Emperor has thought fit to dispense with . these forms, and to wage war without even a pee-, tense of injury. The glory of ' the Prince, or the' cotivenience of the great coatis - iv, have been deemed sufficient grounds for subjugatiug one after another the States of Europe; acid so far as the inatienneaf that Government extends, a species of political morality has .been iutroduced, which annuls the. di3tinction between power and right, and au thorises a gevernment and its subjects, whenever they are able, to subdue or destroy the neighbour ing states. flow extensively this system. of morals ilia.; been a4upred it is : impossible to 'say : but we have seeps the rapacious and desolating progrots of the French .Government approved by Americans, and bare been.often Old that it would be convenient for us to expel the Wien tribes. to a still greater dis tance, and tai conquer the adjoining provinces of Great Britain and Sprain, and annex them to the United States. There is.some ground to hope, that time events of the Russian campaign might incline the 'French Rulers to call iu question the policy, if not the justice of this predatory system ; and induce them to repotince those false and fatal principles, which bare been injurious to their own nation, and destructive to the peace and happiness of the world. /lad such been the case, the disasters they met with might eventually. have primed beneficial even to them. selves ; for no people are less to be envied, than • they who prosper in a course of deceit and violence, wkose, retribution is deferred tilPrepentance can . reitaid no relief. a 1.,.‘• Ali we are unable ;:o ascertain the motives by which . ihsitoverutuent is aetstated in prosecuting the war, wocan form no opinion concerning its probable du. ration. Peace, However, must be ardently desired by the people 9f this commonwealth, as the priitiltnt state is .uufa r veurable to their morals, and ruinous to their prosperity ;• and besides, a large national debt has been already incurred, and is continually in creasing, which will probably have the same confine ;tone as the union of the States, and must entail upon the preseueleneration end their posterity the burdens of direct and oppressive taxes. But though our fellow-citizens have suffered great ly, in consequence of the war, by the. less of pro p. ray on the ocean, and by ass almost total interrup tion in their fisheries and c Clef maritlmeresuits, and the diiiicuilies thry have met with in cot eying rte. ceesavy supplies from one' part of the roast to another; , let ace halve abocidaut.ciese of gratitude for the ins terciel.ercler. and tranquillity which bare prevailed through - thie, - 891fe; and the plentiful harvest with which: fk*arlift has been pleased to fermir us the , pact year, May we be-spli,citous not to abuse the gifts of his bounty by a pernicious or prodigal use of them. * - Jan. 12, 10ii. L CA LEB STRONG. PRIVATE cORRESpoNDENGE. ,;: BANE'S OF THE M And, Fa. go. —There is an on. 'Collimate singularity in the present state of Holland, contrasted' with that of the surrounding countries. 'From Geneva to Cleves every thing is full of activity and excitement,—war and rumours of waro. eourable efforts and distinguished successes. How crossing the Meese, the traveller seems to have 'crossed Lethe ; and but for the occasional ternar raised by a French inroad, he might forget that there was an enemy to be repelled or secured by the quiet p2ople among whom he found himself. Tranquillity is valuable, but it may be valued too highly; and there have been few periods when its absence might be more wisely dispensed with. The war is not yet de. tided, and it is scarcely possible to count on the turn which the light and Volatile caprice of the French mind may adopt. If it declares for Bonaparte, he firmly fitted, and Holland will fall among the first ob. jetts of his vengeance. 'l'o sustain herself against this 1111.41 re-action, .she has a new taxation flet, a new douanerie, and just five thousand troop.; the sllghteit failure in any part of the immense in., airlift/lisle, which must be occasionally weak, and iti'hie to partial reverses, may precipitate the French noon this country, and leave to the calm and sober generation by whom it might have been put beyond danger, nothing but useless regrets, fortunes doubly ruined, autl to the people a lesson of sufferings suffi cient to caution them against enthusiasm for the ties to some. Even the people whom it is the business of thi; tardy wisdom to spare are not grateful for it ;4 they openly regret the lassitude which hangs over the general cause; express their deep shame that the de fence of their country should be given over tel strangers ; talk of the old times of Holland, when heel war -establishment amounted to 120,000 men ; saw seem to think, that in a Government which comes to restore the independence of a nation,the first, second, -and third virtue, is vigour. The French still have six of the strongest places in On Dutch territory Of those, Naar - den and Gorcum are the only *nes that have been regularly attacked, and even of litote the attack has become a blockade. The French cannon of :harden .are , heard in the Amstenlar counting-houses. Yet the spirit of the people good,; they hate, the French for their past oppres sion, and would probably refuse no sacrifice to make their return impracticable. Their silence, and utter departure of those public testimonials of feel hit which distinguished the first days of the restora tion, are not to be concluded on, as coldness. te cause. The solitary exploit, the taking of Bois-le- Doc, which has signalised the last month, was in slight degree due to the spirit of the people. A but. lean of the capture was published by the Govern. goat, but a brief narrative has since appeared, more interesting and detailed. ,~. ti THE g ~_ v 1 MAN. =.!"- room rale LONDON GAZETTE, Fall. is.
