Both, in the fate of Reditude, found Lasting.
UNDER the late administration of our
general government, the triumph of

To indolence and tear."''
Arrogating to themselves those qualifica
tions of which they were totally definite, and
puffed up with the indolence of flitted pride,
our enemies, with gigantic Strides, gained faft
upon us. Affairs were rapidly approaching a
fatal Crif/— The chains of Slavery already^,
ged, waited, only an order of thraldom, to
bind faft those very hands, which, thro' hosts
of tyrants, had hew'd our way to independ
ence, and, on the basis of Liberty, reared the
Pillars of American Glory Yes, the very
# arm, fcarr'd and lacerated in our defence, was
Shortly to receive the impression of a MaftnQ
and the head grown grey io our country's ser
vice, though crown'd with laurels of viaory,
was doomed to recline in furrow on the cold
earth, whilst upstart hirelings, with infalting
parade, aped the Severity of more powerful def.
pots over them—honest reafoniug was called
sedition, and a manly fopport of constitution
al firft principles, was decreed open revolt—
and as their admired British Lord in '75, so
they now declared " that the questions of 0^
riginal right and wrong, wete no longer to be^
considered, that they were engaged in 13@1
with Democracy, and must dfe their htthoft
% efforts to obtain their ends—that Justice must
give way to their prefect fit nation "—that De
mocracy most fall or they would periffi—fuch
were the principles openly avowed by Urinal
i/b/djfill- They raised high the funeral pile
ot Liberty ; and under the name of federal
ism, in the grand levee of haughty ariKocracy,
the Dsasb Song of Freedom was prepaied.
But let uty on the bended knee of gra
titude, forever remember^tqat, " if
the Lord himfelf had not beeh on our
fide when men tofe up againtfus, theyj
had swallowed us up quickly and the
streams had gone over our pul,; but|
our help ftandeth in the name of the.
Lord." There is, by divine wisdom,1
an intrinsic curse interwoven in the।
texture of every vice—especially in|
national and extensive vices. Thel
pride of the Coalition deprived them
of that caution which in ad verfity they
had learnt—their Federal Mafaue was
carelessly worn—the features of Ufur.
pation were diftindly seen, and the
Cloven Foot of monarchy disclosed un
der the long robes of power—With
heart piercing anxiety the people with
a mighty voice cried aloud for fafety
^ —The Genius of Liberty heard their
well known voice, ^nd starting from
the Dalilian lap of foft repose, walk'd

Extras of a letter from a gentleman at
^ajliington, dated February 11, 1.803,
''The President has received dis
patches from our minister in France.
The substance of which isohat our
minister at Paris has received assur
ances from the French government,
that they had the greatest desire to
cultivate a good undemanding with
the American government, and that
General Viflor, who is to command
in ,Louifa#Jfad retell? j inftru&.

conciliatory di^fore, lucli as would
conduce to the harmony and mutual
improvement of th^ imereib and the
rights of both countries, and to relped
the rights, territory ^ndperfons,of the
people of the United States."
ExtyaEt of a letter from Washington,
i.l4th Feb. 1803.^.
" I now can inform you, that this
day a commitee of the whole,to whom
was referred- the report of the com
mittee of commerce and manufactures
on the repeal of the diferiminating du
ties, are difeharged from the further
consideration thereof. This will
afford time for the full consideration
of the fubjea, before the next session
of Congress."
Extract of a letter to the editors, da
ted Washington, Fdb. 15, 1 803.
“ On the fubjetl of New Orleans,
the public mind is turned, as to an
event of real interest to the whole con
tinent, and more important in its ef#
feds thap any other in which the
Government are called to take a
part.
" Whether the suspension of the
right of deposit, secured by treaty to
the U. States is an arbitrary aft of
the Intendant tinauthorifed by the
Court of Madrid or whether it be in
consequence of inftruaiyns from the
Spanish Government, is not known
with certainty. The letter of the
Gov. of Louisiana declares it. to be
the aft of the former unauthorifed by
the latter. He is said to be an honest
man, and has probably told the truth.
In this .case there is great reason to
believe that the order will be revoked,
and the citizens of the United States
restored to the exercise of the right of
deposit as usual.
66 This will answer every purpose
of present accommodation. But this
indance proves the liability of similar
embarrassments tq our commerce in
future, arid so long as the territory at
the mouth of the Mississippi Shall be
possessed by a foreign nation. This
province has as we have seen, been
ceded by Spain to Frarice- The
French have not as yet taken poflef
fion—they are otherwise too much en.
gaged.
«As to the right of deposit, it is
clearly and unequivocally guaranteed
to us by treaty. The suspension of
that right may be made a cause of war,'
and we should perhaps be jufti
fied in resuming it by force. But
as this might be followed with an
immediate declaration of hostiles
on the part of Spain, in conjunct
ion or alliance with France, it is
more advifeable to seek redrefsin
the firft instance by negociation.
Failing in this; recourse may then
be had to the ultima ratio. In a
ny event the right will never be
abandoned by the Government.
It will be reclaimed and re-eftab
lilhed by force, should force,
become neceflary. ,''"i
" Admitting the right re efta^g
lifhed to-morrow, the question /'
would recui,^ not defirab'e
