Notice.
Commissioners’ Notice.
Thia conduct Is the more unpardonable,
inaeinuch a* the publkk expressed its just
indignatioo, and its merited jealousy on the
attempt to suppress the Prench ducumentt
last winter.—How did *e in that case ob
tain a disclosure of the disgraceful natare
of our negotiations with France? By the
voluntary exhibition of the Executive? No.
The suppressed documenta published in
Boa ton, dropped down u[*on us we know
not how—the light flashed upon m, we
know not whence ’
From the authours of such sentimunts,
one would not look for any exhibition of
impartiality, or for any expressions of in
dignation towards France, for her accu
mulated wrongs—but from a man of Mr.
Madison’s prudence and talents, oi.e would
have expected some apjiearance of deco
rum, some shew of independence, some
token of a sincere desire to preserve a no
minal impartiality. In reviewing the Pre
sident’s late Message, with its accompani
ments, we are astonished to find -the mask
which even Mr. Jefferson deigned to wear,
superciliously thrown away. Mr. Madison,
secure of his office and of his popularity,
disdains any labour, eveu tu save appear
ances, and while his speech breathes noth
ing but hostility and war towards Great-
Britain, it is worse than silent as to the
wrongs, the injuiies and insults of France.
The proofs of this partiality have been
too long and too fatally felt, to require a
very mihute display of them at this mo
ment. I shall confine myself to a few in
stances which have recently occurred.—
The documents yhich accompanied the
President's Message, furnish the first proof.
While the correspondence with the British
Cabinet, and uur complaints against Great-
Britsjn,occupy SIGHTY-might pages, all
the evidence of iur intercourse with FranCe
is comprised in teven. While every dodu-.
meat in relation to the British controversy
is communicated at large, aven down to
the notes of the Secretary ot Legation,
while some parts of Mr. Erskine’s letters
are extracted and published twice In the
tame fiamfihlet, in ordbjr that in one farm
or the other they might be sure to meet
the publick eye. some of the publications
of the letter* of General Armstrong to our
government* and of Mr. Champagny to
General Armstrong,*are mutilated ear
traett, and the mo<2 material part* are
tufifiretted- Thia is n<< all— whole letters
and the whole hittory of our late negotia
tion with France is kept behind the cur
tab, . -.

her troubled and sorrow-swelled eye* upon the
ground, in the attitude of one whose heart is
too full to utter word*. Wondering and con

from the monument, when I saw Oblivion step
ping Yrom stone to stone. Thou, exclaimed I,
thou must be acquainted with it. Ah, shew

thunder at a distance—l cane not what it hat
been— it is now mine.

One useful moral ye perhaps might glean;
Might see wiiat snpree all your distinction gives,
From these your mimick representatives ;
For they can strut in fanci'd greatness too,
And play their parts, not much unlike to you ;

Queens blanket rob’d, who can't afford a gown,
And famish'd monarchs without half a crown-

Poor in their fortune, poorer in their art.

If Great-Britain be charged by Mr Madi

with Napoleon Bonaparte we have made a <
treaty, signed with his own sign manval,
which guarantees tu us the right to carry
even British goods on B r itish account*—a
treaty which declares that no blockade
shall be laid by either party, unless the
same be actual—the people Vih not forget
that it is not even pretended that we have
violated this treaty—not even suggested iq <
Mr Champagny's mott ifn/tudcilt letter—
Like the treaty he fore made with France*
io .which we were told that France “ could
only find a real disadvantage in adhering
to the terms of the. treaty,” so Mr, Uham
pagny tells us, that the Einperout’s de

It is alleged by B«4>apartc's goodfiiendf

France is fierfidiout, because in Novena
ber, 1806, when her Berlin decree passed*
Great-Britain did not enforce any firinci
filet bfit what she enforced when our treaty k '■
with France wat made. If* then, With the
knowledge of the British rule of 1736, and
of the British rules of blockade, she stipe- |
lated to permit us to carry British goods,
and never to ttofi ut by nominal bhekadea*
she is guilty of base perfidy by her Berlin
and Milan decrees. jgjt*
If we are told that Mr. Jackson, tlyafiri.

nearly the same weeds a cencesahm made
by Mr. Smith, our own Minister, what shall

in which he puts an end to alt our negotia

And are the American people tube al
ways kept in thia state of palpable blind
ness? Are oar negotiations with France, 1
tuch de<-<l» of darkness, that even when all . ,
hopes are gone, when abortive, whtn dead
born, they are to be borit d without exam

If such shameless suppressions would

submit to them when we are called upon
to ta,ke the solemn alternative of .war or

with whom, b th otir own and their Minis
ter allege the door ol negotiation is forever*
closed I >
The publifk have been amused' the
tant summer, with repeated messages to *
France— several vessels have been de
spatched thither—did they not cany rg
nionstrances, deounids,or piupra><ls? If so,
where ate they ? Why are they au/i/ircM
ed ! While a negotiation is pending, rea
sons of state may require secrecy—but thia t
is not the case. General Armstrong, in
the mutilated extract of his letter, of the .
16th September last, declares, that Mr«
Champagny's note, which I shall presently
consider, is “ a definitive anewrr to our
firo/iotalef'—Tbh note is not only defini
tive, but it is insulting in the extreme. It
is not <nily a flat refutal, but it is a most
cutting and sarcastick taunt. Why should
we not know then what thene firofiotale
were, which Mr. Armstrong says lie has
made? If they were reasonable and mode
rate, our resentment ought to be more ,x- '■
cited against France. Why then attempt
