can difobev your decree, that treaties fh*ll be
laws, and can pike away from the President
and,Senate, in one inftaoce, (and that so
great an inftauce) the constitutional authors
ty yfe have given them, may take itaway in
. every instance—may declare 0e President &
Senate, and the Courts of Jefftice, unnecef
foy, and may consolidate in the fame hands
the,whole legislative, executive and judiciary
power; thus erecting the worst of all delpot-

1 ; The jrecedent would be indeed an^ awful
one.. The men, who Should establish it, un :
fer thelpecious appellation of republicans,
Would makea mockery of the- name. To
fruftratc so atrocious an attempt—to prevent
so pernicious a precedent, demands all our
vigilance, all our exertion. The most urgent
obligations of duty to ourselves, our families,
our country, command us to unite our ef
forts—and with one voice to warn our repre
sentatives to avoid plunging themselves, and
us, into the fatal abyss which lies before
them.- —In making these efforts, our prin
ciples & our intetefts require that we Should
walk steadily on the lime of the constitution,
and of the laws. 'Tis these we are to fap
port and 'sis Efficient to make , our voice to
be distinctly heard, to accomplish the pur
pose for which it foll.be uttered. e '
The treaty with Grearbritain is loft in the
immense magnitude of the principle which
aims at its destruction—Even your peace,
your commerce, your agriculture, I had al
m ft said, your honor, hazarded or facrificed
by so manifeft a breach of your faith, are of
secondary importance compared with the e
normows mifehief of the precedent,— —'Tis
your government, 'tis your authority, in
vaded by your agents, 'tis the vital principle
of liberty, the Supremacy of the will of the
people, which are at stake.
fo' The considerations, are, no doubt, feriqus,
that by the violation of the public faith,
pledged in a solemn treaty, a cause of war
will be given to a powerful foreign nation, &
all the complicated evils es war hazarded—
that the wife plan of our President, to extin
guish, by well timed measures, all ' fources of
controversy with foreign powers ; and to se
cure to us a profpe& of durable tranquility,
will becounteraaed ; that our weftern posts
will be withheld, and that we Shall forego
the vast advantages of their speedy restitu
tion ; that our character, as a people, will
be blasted ; and that all confidence of other
nations in our government will be deftroy
ed,—-—But, serious as those confederations
are, they are infinitely less important than
the one that our constitution is attacked, &
thatihe corner fione of public liberty will be
removed. This is the mortal blow to be
partied. This it is that ought to route the
zeal and nerve the effort of all the real
friends to government, to law, and to liberty,
. Can you be furprized that such an at
tempt is meditated, or ata loss for its true
objed, when you fee among the principal
aftors in it, men who are the known, uni
form and implacable foes of your conftitu
tioft— _— When you are told that the no

Bill making appropriation for all the

FROM EUROPE.
Since our last, we have received pa
pers from London, to the 19 March.
They contain but little intelligence.
The preparations for war were still
making on the largest scale. Gen.
Clairfait has resigned the com
mand of the Imperial armies ; , and
the Emperor's brother, the Archduke
Charles, is appointed to succeed
him. The armies on both sides are
daily augmented with great numbers
of recruits.
^WESTINDIES.
T Our last advices from the Weftin
dies, state, that Admiral Parker,
with the britith fleet, and from 8 to
12,000 troops, arrived at Barbadoes
about the 6th of April. The britith
had sent reinforcements to attack St.
Lucia, and feverai other places ; the
French, however, appear ready and
anxious to receive them. The French
had captured a valuable transport and
sent her into St. Bartholomews—
feverai others were said to be captur
ed, and hourly expeded to arrive.
An embargo is put upon all the wind
