A Certainty.—By all the late accounts
from France, al Well as from the whole
course of his conduct towards tis, itsiis'tt'r
tain that Napoleon has long since been re
solved not to permit us to remain—naeum!)
nation. He has coaxed and wheedled Us
till- his patience was cxhausted, in hopes of
getting us into a war with England: btit
either through vexationor from a convic
tion of our imbecility, he has at last chang
ed his plan and made a bold push towards
forcing us into a war with himself.
' A CONjECTURE.
But notwithstanding this violent change
of policy on the part of Napoleon, notwith
staading he has thrown oss'eveu the masit
ol'sriendship lor us and carries on an open
wars-are against both our persons and our
property when he can catch either ol'.thcm
within his reach, I venture to cory'ecture that
our governmsnt will not resent his conduct
in the manner which becomes an independ
ent nation.
In the first place, they are not able to do
it, is they wsire disposed. The " dignffics'
measures which they have gradually but
stea-lilctv pursued for _9 years, have put resist
ance out of our power, and it is an undenia
ble fact that gon boats, torpedoes and pro
clamations. are the onlv weapons which
DEMOCRATIC WXSDOM have lelt us, to re
st.-m an insult or repel an aggression. \Ve
have nsiizher ships, nor the means of pro
curing them, nor the means of supporting
them after they are procured ; and a nation
that has not a single secentyct-sour aﬂoat up
on the ocean and is oblige d to borroassrmo
ney For the current expences of government,
cannot wt-ll do much more towards i-njuring
an enemy three thousand miles oﬀ, than to ss
threaten them. ct
But in the second place, is our govern- *
ment are able, they are not disposed tﬀec- l
tually to stSt nt the indignities ot Napoleon.
I Venture this assertinn both lmm their
known want of sirmm-ss. and trow the whole
tenor of their preceding conduct toward
that usurpcr. A government that could
submit with patience to his Barlin decree—
or rc sist it only by an embargo, which in
jured no one but tltemselVes—will not very
easily be aroussd to energy by any subse
quent aggrcssion. At present, indeed,
there is a shew of something more manly ; l
but it is only a shew; the mere blunt-lings :
of a bully who can talk and look big at 3 1
distance, but when called upon to add ac- lss
tions to threats, puts his finger in his month 1
and snealts oﬀ.—'Virg. Put. ]
