" \Vhat does our wise and energetic ad
ministration mean to do to extricate them
selves from the present disgraceful and tu
inetl Situation, to which they have brought
our poor, degraded, and unhappy country,
by their par-tial, vacillating and dastardly
measures? The name of an American has
become a reproach and a bye-word among
the nations of the earth, & even the French
themSelves respect the English, although
Open enemies, much more than they do the
good citizens of the most enlightened na
tion on earth." The hand of violence is a
broad, and ( would advise all my friends to
l trust no more property abroad, for rapacity
is invited to plunder and rob us with impu

? to resent our injuries and demand redress.

; not only the armies, but, since his marriage
l with the niece of Louis 16th, and by his u
nion with the oldest dynasty in Europe, he
has concentrated public Opinion in his tavor,
which before this wonderful event, was a
gainsthim. Having made peace with the
FRENCH, by obtaining a victory over their
prejudices, he has nothing to fear from
within."
