Colonies, against her existence, as an independent its AVM agaiast her constitution, her liberties: : and her laws,--If such be the perilous crisis to which we are come, how, it may be asked, are we to account for the slightness of the hnpression which it has amide, sad that we see so little of the anxiety and Alin that naturally attend the dreadful transition Aims peace to a state of warfare. The answer is obvious. The change,from the state in which we were, to that in which we are, is trifling. Since the Treaty of Amiens we have had a hollow truce, a disguised warfare, and by the rupture of the negotiation, we are only advanced to a state of open hostility, a state certainly More immediately decisive, but not less dangerous, than the fretful fe ver that has been hitherto wasting our strength and undermining our constitution. For what has been the oondua of the FIRST CONSUL, upon the Conti nent, since the Treaty of Amiens? Piedmont, Pafma, Placentia, Holland, Switzerland, Portugal, and Hambu-gh, will answer, in_ tile words of his MAJEST VN Declaration,'" one continued series of aggresion, violence, and insult." With respect to England his hostility has been still more violent ; he has called upon her to change her laws; he has de sired her to destroy the liberty of the press, and threatened vengeance in case of refusal; he has per secuted her friends; and her interests, all over the. world, insulted hei Ambassador, whose person was sacred by his office, and under the protection of his roof ; and in the face of Europe he has challenged flngland to fight singly with France. From such a state the change to open warfare has been small ; and, therefore, we cannot wonder if it has produced a slight sensation. The next question that arises is, Kow comes it that the English Government should have suffered such a doubtful, dangerous state, to subsist so long ? To this the answer is..equally ob vious; the peace, if such it can be called, was a peace of experiment. These most enlightened politi cians were of opinion, that we could have no real peace with France under her present Government. The object of the war was also held to be indefinite, and its origin douh•ful. These differences of opinion, upon essential points, could not fail to paralize our energies ; and in this state, with our resources drained to their utmost, though unexhausted by a ten years war, it was thought worth while to try the experiment of peace. The experiment has been tried, and the result is, that peace cannot subsist between this country and the Government. of BONAPARTE. If then the Cape, if Marti nique, have been surrendered, let them not be called concessions, made by a feeble and timid pa licy, to the insolence and ambition of the F IRST CONSUL of France. Our concessions, our modera tion, our patient forbearance, under a c'ontinued series of insult and aggression, have been so many sacrifices to the opinion of the petiple of England, and of the nations of Europe. if then, in the per son of her Ambassador, Englani'i has borne with in sults from the First Magistrate of France, which the rudest barbarian, in the resdest ages, would have blushed to offer, our conduct must not be attributed to weakness or insensibility. Our forbearance has been an appeal to the world, and a refutation of every suspicion and jealouly that the intrigue and artifice of our enemy had excited against us. We have proved by our coace htsions that the present Go vernment of France is in capable of maintaining the relations of peace and amity, Riad we have placed our cause upon a solid bottom, which must unite every heart and hand, and destroy all difference of opinion; . for however some may tsbjea to the conduct of Mi . - nisters in some of its details, there can, we believe, after a perusal of the papers laid before Puna , ment, be but one opini.on now as to the justice of our cause.—at may be sod, Ministers should not 'have conceded so much, they should not have given 'up the keys of the East and West Indies, they 'should not have so fax reduced our army and our navy, or held out finch. confident hopes of peace ; ' but it must bc remembered that they could not 'have afted otherwise without inbjea - ing themselves to that charge -which now exclusiiely applies to the Flats. Consul of Erance. The extent of their con :cessions pares to all Europe their sincerity in their .profasienenepeace. -Had they retained Martinique, the Car, and kept up a greater army and navy , establialtment, they Might be open to the suspicion itill harbouring an tostlle mind.

Another body of evidence has been laid before Patiiament, that proves the inveterate and never 'ceasing hostility of the upstart Usurper, who fills the theme of Trance. The information which it c.antains is no less important than new, and we, therefore, lay it before our readers at full length. They will fad from it, that the mere circum stance of as English captalni of an English vessel, eating his dinner in his ows cabin, on board his own vessel, with a linicemportork of English mann fatinre, is i minx shit idgeas both ship and cargo to confutation, in the poets of France, ins time of profound peace ! ! They will find, that every ves sel. above a handredtods, that shall be forced, even by unavoidable neteulty, to sail one league beyond the middle line of the narrow =eight that separates Dover from Calais, is liable to confiscation, if it should have a single article of British mantrfac board ; and this in a time of profound price! 1 They will find also, from these new do cuments, that with respee to the. United States of America,the vigourof England has arrested the rapa anti hand of BONA P ARTE, and forced him to cede to that insulted people the territory of Louisiana, at the very moment when he was contemplating in its possession the conquest of the western world. This is intelligence that will come home to men's business and botorns•at the Stock 'Exchange, which we are sorry to say is too much the index of public opinion, and too generally considered the criterion* -of na tional prosperity; for it is not by the quantum of blood that has been shed, or the quantum of hamar that his been forfeited, we measure our losses; let the funds rise, and we are taught to think that all is well, although we be every hour falling in the scale of nations, and the usurpations of BONAPARTE be every day gaining ground upon the world. The in sertion of the articles t 6 which we allude, at full Myth. and the press of temporary matter, mem taeniain from entering into an examination itl .tit: fait Odle papers connected with the negotiatioilijii diem this country and the Republic of France.... We regret the disappointment, however, th ' because the official matter which we lay before ode readers is infinitely more important than any ober., vicious which we could substitute in its place,' yet ita we must not pass over a subject so deeply inter eating, without some notice.—Tbe first circupt, stance that obtrudes itself is the slightness efthe ; reasatian which the declaration of waililtOaenilikk totuary b ana Trance ]tai preduetti4lf tharmi4:' . stood their geoihid, and even rallied after au Ciffibi, annotincentent that the negotiation was tern i** the Ma Might : be fairly accounted fox by Voi:Aii?. ported Medi:Won of itnetla ; taut any bop* that boir ; , era; a:W*lmila mist have been dileipated by Pukka absttriske 4.4ia ifistitilaini h i thi;.

From that moment war became inevitable, and the only question was, whether we should leave it to the Ft itsr CONSUL of France to Awls hispurn time. Should it be said that an English statesman ought to have foreseen all this. we.answer, that the coadua of .the Minister proves that he was not altogether without that fort .sight ; but was it • to be erpeaed that the-mass of ;the people of Europe could also have penetrate& 4itto the views of the Government of France I By tithe peace, Switzerland has learned the Ftase CONSUL', love of liberty, Holland his friend ship, Turkey his sincerity, and the Uaked.States of America his moderation and his candour. The whole world is now convinced that universal do. minion alone can satisfy the ambition of the F, nsr I Consul.. if it should be said, we have felt for Switzerland and could not -relieve her, and have fought in vain for Holland and Germany ; and if it should be asked what better chance have we now of opposing with success the ambition of France, we answer, the option of pe ace is. not left us, tiniest upon terms of national disgrace, and fot the pun pose of rendering war more formidable and dange nous.• But we have a chance of opposing a mose• successful resistance. Some of the nations of Ed e might have flattered thentselets,thnt the Grand Pacificator would cherish a peace ,which ccmfirrnid his power, although, at the same time s it set bounds to his ambition. Their eyes are now open, and they see their error. What was the favourite ciple urged from the first moment of the treaty of Amiens ? " England," says he, " must have nothing to do with the Continent;" the converse of whichis,. the Continent must have nothing to do with Eng. land. Thus the Corsican Usurper is sca e ctseated upon the throne of France, when be pre rules and regulations for all the Sovereigns of Europe.. —Germany, more than once saved by the tun of England, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, all free , and independent States, are to take orders from the FIRST Cossu 1., give up their trade, and break off all connection with us. Let it not then be suppose/ that we go to our trial without the hearts and wishes of the nations of Europe, which we might fear would be the case, were the cause of quarrel reduced t¢ the dry question of Malta, as some ill-inform& prints have attempted , to persuade their readers. Of this number, the Morning Poet has been the most conspicuous ; and for its offence it has thought fit to make the ems& honor4k. We think the apology would have been more complete, had it nit been coupled with a stupid quotation from the Morning Chronicle; but the Morning Pad carries a great deal of canvas, and it may hope to sail the more riteadilr by taking some of the leaden' materials of the Mom. ing Chronicle on board as ballast. Were the obser vations of the Morning Post dictated by it spirit of truth or candour, they would have admitted that, other prints were as much alive to SERASTIANI 7 9t Report, to which is now traced the commencement of the present hostilities, and saw it in its true light. , as clearly as the Morning Chronirle.—While then the pride, tyranny, and ambition -of the Prior Cot.. sot, have given us allies in the hearts of every nao tion, from the mouth of the Mississippi to the mouths of the Danube, what accession of strength has he acquired ? He has made slaves in Holknd anti Switzerland, but their passions and prejudices ate in arms against him. He has gained Martinique. but he has lost Louisiana. St. Domingo ; the rem• nant of his.army in that rand, and his fleet, will probably follow.—He has lost his charafter of Pa. cificator in Europe, and he has lost his best Ally He has lost Jacobinism that raised him to a throne. 4 and now lies buried beneath it. It was reported on Saturday, that the Dutch had risen ex masse against the French, and drove them out of the country, but the rumour was, generally discredited in the course of yesterday. Private counts frornFrauce state, that bets are 10 to 1 that there will be no war. This opinion is founded upon . the unprepared state of the FIRST CONSUL, and the general disposition of the people for peace. It is not • expectedthat there will be any discussion in either House of Parliament this - evening on the sublet of the war, 01 parties being agreed that the papers in , the House furnish cause in abundance for the renewals of hostilities. Mr. Pitt is reported to be of this opi nion. Should the Address, however;go the inn lentl4 of approving of the, manner in wiiich the negotiatio:s was concluded, there will be a great difference of opinion, it is thought, in the . Hui ise of Conunons, and the question will probably pr lance an adjoerhe ed debate. aiIMIiMININFINII.4I.IO.
