without motive or without object There
fore, hearing no reason assigned whssv the
president should act thus preposterously as
it is attempted to be insinuatcd he did by
those in opposition, it vmuld be reasonable
to conclude that he had no such knowledge.
But in opposition to- this insinuation, also
you have the solemn declaration of the pre
sident of the United States through the se
cretary of state. Humiliating in the ex
treme must it to be hear this solemn asse
veration questioned, even in a side-way, in
order to support the insolence of a' British
minister! Was it is not enough that the
country has been enabled to endure, in or
der to secure the great object ol remaining
in peace, insult after iusult, outrage after
out-age, and even - that the government
shouldbe insulted by loreign diplnmatic
characters, withoutdoubtsss and suspicioos
being insinuatecl by members of this house?
Pray, sir, let me ask this house or the
whole of the United States what the presi
dent of the United States has ever done in
.any oﬂicial character, among the many
which he has filled with honor tolhimselfat
reputation to his country, that the correct
ness of his declarations, made through his
minister of state, should be disputed ! But
I might suﬀer the humiliation of going still
further into this subject. We. have the
word of the 'reealled minister, if that be
considered more eonclusive !) utlemen
than that of the president of the is. States,
that he did not communicate his instruc
tions toi Mr. Smith. We have, lst. the
_ resumption that the executive had no
[knowledge of Mr. Ersltine's instructions,

The peace with' France, we can easily see
by an article from Vienna, is not generally
popular in the Austsian cnpital. The terms
of it, howeVer, are CXCLUllllg as speed-ly as
possible. Great part of the French ar-ssy is
to remain in Germanctv and the itesiad quart
ers are to be at Passnu. The urrangentents
stipusslated in the treaty of peace, or growing
out of it, are develolnng themselves daily.
lt was not to be supposed that Prussia, re
duced as she is, Would be permitted to re
main in statu qut) ; she is to cede Memel to
Russia, in exchange, as it is said. for some
