TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the house of Delegates,) for High Treason against the U. States.
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
But suppose the law to be as it is contended by the counsel for the United States — Suppose an indictment charging an individual with personally assembling among others and thus levying war, may be satisfied with the proof that he caused the assemblage. What effect will this law have upon this case?
The guilt of the accused, if there be any guilt, does not consist in the assemblage for he was not a member of it. The simple fact of assembling no more affects one absent man than another. His guilt then consists in procuring the assemblage, and upon this fact depends his criminality. — The proof relative to the character of an assemblage must be the same whether a man be present or absent. In general, to charge any individual with the guilt of an assemblage, the fact of his presence must be proved.
If then the procurement be substituted in the place of presence, does it not also constitute an essential part of the overt act — Must it not also be proved? Must it not be proved in the same manner that presence must be proved? If in one case the presence of the individual makes the guilt of the assemblage his guilt, then the presence and the procurement are equally component parts of the overt act, and equally require two witnesses.
Collateral points may, say the books, be proved according to the course of the common law, but is this a collateral point? Is the fact without which the accused does not participate in the guilt of the assemblage, if it was guilty, a collateral point? This cannot be. The presence of the party, where presence is necessary, being a part of the overt act, must be positively proved by two witnesses. No presumptive evidence, no facts from which presence may be conjectured or inferred, will satisfy the constitution and the law. If procurement take the place of presence and become part of the overt act, then no presumptive evidence, no facts from which the procurement may be conjectured or inferred can satisfy the constitution and the law. The mind is to be led to the conclusion that the individual was present by a train of conjectures, or inferences, or of reasoning; — the fact must be proved by two witnesses. Neither where procurement supplies the want of presence, is the mind to be conducted to the conclusion that the accused procured the assembly, by a train of conjectures, of inferences, or of reasonings, the fact itself must be proved by two witnesses, and must have been committed within the district.
If it be said that the advising or procurement of treason is a secret transaction which can scarcely ever be proved in the manner required by this opinion; the answer which will readily suggest itself, is, that the difficulty of proving a fact will not justify conviction without proof. Certainly it will not justify conviction without a direct and positive witness in a case where the constitution requires two. The more correct inference from this circumstance would seem to be, that the advising of the fact is not within the constitutional definition of the crime. To advise or procure a treason is in the nature of conspiring or plotting treason, which is not treason of itself.
If then the doctrines of Keeling, Hale and East, are to be understood in the sense in which they are pressed by the counsel for the prosecution, and are applicable in the U. S.; the fact that the accused procured the assemblage on Blannerhasset's island must be proved, not circumstantially but positively by two witnesses, to charge him with that assemblage. But there are still other most important considerations which must be well weighed before this doctrine can be applied to the U. S.
The 8th amendment to the constitution has been pressed with great force, and it is impossible not to feel its application to this point. The accused cannot be truly said to be "informed of the nature and cause of the accusation," unless the indictment shall give him that notice which may reasonably suggest to him the point on
which the accusation turns, so that he may know the course to be pursued in his defence.
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
FRIDAY, Sept. 18.
James McDowell.
Mr. Hay. Did you go as low as the Chickasaw Bluffs? A. I did. Q. What number of men were assembled at the mouth of Cumberland river? A. About 100. Q. How many additional men joined them there? A. I do not recollect. Q. Did you see any boxes of arms? A. No. Q. Did you see any guns with bayonets? A. I saw a few. Q. Any pistols? A. Six or eight pair; and some rifles. Q. Do you know of any men who joined them at Fort Massac? Mr. Burr objected to this question. Fort Massac was in the Indiana territory. — Mr. Hay. Did you see any powder? Yes. Q. What quantity? A. A couple of small casks. Q. Did you see any bullets; and what quantity? A. I helped to run some myself, and I saw one barrel about two thirds full. I saw those bullets below Bayou Pierre. Q. Did you see Blannerhasset and Smith? A. Yes. Q. Did this party seem to be under Burr's command? A. They said, it was Col. Burr's boats and party. They regarded themselves as under his direction. Q. Were there any other officers apparently under Burr's command? A. Yes. Col. Tyler was an officer and Mr. Blannerhasset seemed to be one; but not to have so much command as Col. Tyler.
Mr. Wirt. Did you see any agricultural tools, such as ploughs and hoes, adapted to the settlement of lands? A. Not any. Q. Were there any families; that is, any men with their wives? A. There were two families. Q. Of what description of characters was this party composed? A. Principally of young men. Q. Did they appear to be men accustomed to plantation labor? A. Some of them appeared fit; but most of them seemed like gentlemen.
Mr. Hay presumed that it would not be departing from the opinion of the court, if he asked a question concerning some transaction out of the United States which might serve to elucidate the state of the party at the mouth of Cumberland. Might he not for instance, enquire whether the witness had seen any boxes of arms at Bayou Pierre; because it was perfectly fair to infer, that if they had not been subsequently received, they must have been with the party at the mouth of Cumberland river.
Mr. Burr. No precise inference can be drawn from that circumstance: because these arms may have been received into the boats below the line of Tennessee.
The Chief Justice thought it a proper question: If the acts attempted to be proved were done in the United States, evidence might be drawn from any place to prove them. But no evidence could be produced to prove an act, that was not done in the U. States.
Mr. Baker. This is really a strange way of inferring circumstances by contrast. The witness says expressly that they were not at the mouth of Cumberland, and yet he is to be interrogated whether he did not see them at Bayou Pierre.
Mr. McDowell. I did not say, that they were not at the mouth of Cumberland. I said only, that I did not see them there.
Mr. Hay. Was there then any fact to induce you to believe that there were chests of arms on board? A. I did not see them. But they took in some boxes at Blannerhasset's island. Q. Did they take in any boxes between the mouth of Cumberland and Bayou Pierre? A. None.
Mr. Wirt. You say that there were about 100 men at the mouth of Cumberland river. Was there any accession to this party afterwards? A. It was increased before we got to Coles's Creek. Q. What was the total amount of the party? A. There were about 130 at Coles's Creek. Q. was there any application to you to join them? Mr. Blannerhasset applied to me. Q. In what manner? A. He asked me to go along with him; but I said I did not wish to go without knowing where they were going. He was at me two or three times. He said that many men were going, without knowing any more than I did. I told him I knew very little in the world; but that I did not care to leave it in that way.
Mr. Burr interrupted the examination, He observed that the counsel for the prosecution were bound to prove the overt act first; that there was no impropriety in producing circumstances explanatory of the overt act; but how could these conversations between other persons, and held in his absence contribute to establish this act, or how could they affect him?
Mr. Hay concluded that these circumstances might contribute to show the intentions of the party and the character of the enterprise.
The Chief Justice considered this as admissible testimony, if the counsel for the prosecution charge a military assemblage at the mouth of Cumberland, they were at liberty to produce every circumstance ex-
planatory of the nature of that assemblage. He considered conversations among the men themselves at the mouth of Cumberland as admissible, because they contributed to show the nature of the expedition, and why should not conversations that were afterwards held, be as explanatory as those which were there maintained? The charge too was not confined to the mouth of that river, but was extended to any place below that, which was in the limits of the United States. It is then immaterial where these conversations passed, because they make a part of the transactions at the places actually charged.
Mr. Bots objected that these conversations were not held within the U. States because the jurisdiction of the Mississippi had never extended beyond the margin of the Mississippi.
Some conversation here ensued, when Mr. McDowell was dismissed, and Wm. Love, the quondam groom of Blannerhasset, was called into court.
(Wm. Love's evidence in our next.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.
Latest from Europe.
By the ships Gold Hunter, Vose, from London; and Eliza, Waterman, from Liverpool, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a regular file of London papers to the 15th August, inclusive (6 days later than any previous advices) and Lloyd's Lists of the 14th.
Captain Vose informs, that business was very dull; that the British government had not taken up the affair of the Chesapeake, as they had not received any official dispatches upon that subject; that the schooner Revenge had not arrived; that there was no prospect of a peace between England and France; and that the merchants and manufacturers in England were very much averse to a war with America. Capt. Vose left London the 15th, and the Downs the 21st of August.
Insurance on American vessels from England to America had fallen to three guineas.
LONDON, August 12.
A mail from Gothenburgh arrived yesterday. The private letters by this conveyance state, that the emperor Alexander arrived at Petersburg on the 17th ult. but that his arrival was not announced by any discharge of cannon, or any other demonstration of joy. The mail contains an account of the military operations at Stralsund to the 22d ult. but we have previously received accounts so late as the 30th, at which time the fortress had not surrendered. The German legion did duty for the first time on the twenty-first. On the same day lord Cathcart left Stralsund for Rugen.
The private letters by the Tønningen mail which arrived on Monday evening, that the recent proceedings inspire but little confidence in the adherence of Russia to the interests of Great Britain; and indeed, the circumstances imparted by Mr. Secretary Canning in the house of commons on Monday evening, have considerably damped the hopes of those among us, who, on the first blush of the subject, expected from the Russian overture a pacific result. The friendly intentions manifested towards this country in one of the articles of the Treaty between Russia and France, have from circumstances which remained to be explained, been suffered to remain a dead letter in respect to us, who were the declared object of it. We cannot help observing that Bonaparte, far from having lost sight of his favorite object of hostility against Great Britain, appears, by the last letters from the continent, to be more intent than ever on the establishment of a new law of nations, securing the liberty of the seas and the independence of every flag. Whether Russia will ultimately be induced to enter into these interested views of Bonaparte against the naval supremacy of Great Britain, is a question upon which we are at present desirous of withholding our opinion. The continental politicians, however, are less backward in pronouncing their decision upon this subject; and it is even asserted, that so determined is Napoleon upon the universal recognition of his favorite principle, that the French troops will remain in Germany until the full accomplishment of his object.
The passengers who came over in the last packet from Tønningen, state, that previously to the sailing of the packet, an express had arrived, with instructions for all the English ships lying at Tønningen, to proceed down the river, below the battery. This is considered as a precautionary mea-
sure to secure the shipping, in case the French should by force or stratagem, get possession of the battery which commands the navigation of the Eyder.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the admiralty from admiral Gambier, which were brought to Grimsby by the Swift cutter. At the date of these, the fleet had not reached its destination, but was continuing its progress towards the Baltic.
Parliament was prorogued this afternoon with the following speech from his majesty's commissioners:
"My Lords and Gentlemen, We have it in command from his majesty to express the satisfaction with which he finds himself enabled to give you this recess which, after the great and diligent exertions which you have made in the despatch of public business, must at this advanced season of the year be so particularly desirable.
"His majesty has been graciously pleased to direct us to return his thanks for the steady loyalty and attachment to his person and government, and zealous devotion to the public service, which have characterised all your deliberations, and most especially to thank you for the seasonable exertions which you have enabled him to make for the augmentation of the military force of the kingdom.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"His majesty has commanded us to return you his warmest thanks for the supplies which you have granted with so much cheerfulness for the current year; and when he considers the provision which you have made for those contingent and unforeseen services which the events of the war may render necessary, his majesty has the greatest satisfaction in recognizing the wisdom wherewith, in a time of extraordinary difficulties, you have anticipated the possible demands which those difficulties may occasion.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"His majesty commands us to assure you, that he deeply deplores the unfortunate issue of the war upon the continent.
"The immense extension of the power and influence of France, and the undistinguished determination of the enemy to employ the means and resources of those countries which he possesses or controls for the purpose of effecting the ruin of this kingdom, undoubtedly present a formidable view of the dangers and difficulties which this country has to encounter.
"But his majesty trusts, that the loyal and brave people over whom he reigns are not to be daunted or disheartened.
"From the recollection of those difficulties under which his people have successfully struggled, and of those dangers which they have happily surmounted, his majesty derives the consolation of believing that the same spirit and perseverance which have hitherto remained unbroken will continue to be exerted with unabated vigor and success.
"And while his majesty commands us to repeat the assurances of his constant readiness to entertain any proposals that may lead to a secure and honorable peace, he commands us at the same time to express his confidence that his parliament and his people will feel with him the necessity of persevering in those vigorous efforts which alone can give the character of honor to any negotiation, or the prospect of security or permanency to any peace.
"His majesty therefore trusts that his people will always be ready to support him in any measure which may be necessary to defeat the designs of his enemies against the independence of his majesty's dominions, and to maintain against any undue pretensions, and against any hostile confederacy, those just rights which his majesty is always desirous to exercise with temper and moderation, but which, as essential to the honor of his crown, and the true interest of his people, he is determined never to surrender."
Differences with America.
The following resolution and circular letter have been drawn up by the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool:
At a general and very numerous meeting of the members of this Association, held this day, it was
Resolved unanimously, That the following circular letter, prefixed to this resolution be printed, and that the Vice President (in the absence of the President) be requested to sign the same on behalf of the American Chamber of Commerce, in Liverpool, and to transmit a copy thereof to PHILIP SANSON, esq. Chairman of the Committee of American Merchants in London.

[CIRCULAR.]
A MEETING of the Members of the American Chamber of Commerce, at this port has been convened this day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present serious and critical state of affairs, as relating to the intercourse between the British empire and the United States of America.
When it is considered how essentially the vital interests of both the countries are concerned in a maintenance of the relations of amity and commerce, and particularly at the present juncture, it must be the wish of every sincere friend to his country, whether British or American, that these relations should not be interrupted, unless such interruption be rendered inevitable by some imperious and irresistible necessity, arising from that regard which is incumbent on every country to pay to its honor and its interest.
If the manufacturers and merchants of this kingdom shall be convinced that the conduct of the British government towards the United States of America has been, and continues, such as becomes a government desirous of preserving the relations of peace and amity; and if it should now be found that these relations cannot be preserved, without compromising the honor, and thereby sacrificing the best interests of the British empire, it is hoped there are no sacrifices or privations to which the manufacturers and merchants will not cheerfully submit, in order to prevent such consequences.
If, on the contrary, the manufacturers and merchants of this kingdom shall be convinced that the intercourse, which has now subsisted for more than twenty years between the British empire and the United States of America, with so many, and such progressively increasing advantages to each, is in danger of being interrupted by an assertion of claims, incompatible with a due regard to the equal rights of both countries, or by unjust conduct on the part of either the British government, or of any persons acting under its authority, it then becomes a duty to exercise that invaluable privilege, the essential bulwark of the British constitution—of respectfully making such representations to the government as the circumstances of the case may require.
And as these circumstances may be such as to render it highly important that the persons making such representations should act with promptness, and in concert—I am requested to inform you that, if such circumstances should arise, the American chamber of Commerce in Liverpool, hold themselves in readiness to correspond and co-operate with the manufacturers and merchants of Great Britain and Ireland, for the attainment of the important objects herein mentioned.
I have the honor to be sir, your obdt. servant. JOHN RICHARDSON, vice president. Liverpool Aug. 11, 1807.
August 15. A mail from Gottenburgh arrived this morning brings news from Gottenburgh of the 7th, which states, that on the 3d adm. Gambier's fleet passed the Sound, saluting Cronberg castle as it passed, and receiving a salute in return. A great number of English ships of war, and transports are also said to have passed Gottenburgh on the 5th and 6th. They were probably the second and third expeditions. A letter from Copenhagen informs us that orders have been received by the inhabitants in the suburbs to prepare for lodging a large body of cavalry. Another bulletin has been received of the operations against Stralsund, but it is of little importance. The king of Sweden sent his proposal for an armistice in writing—it was made verbally before. But Brune replied that he could not accede to it except on the condition of Stralsund being surrendered to the French.
A gentleman is arrived who left Tonnings on the 9th and Copenhagen on the 6th—at this time there were two British vessels in the Baltic—Admiral Gambier's and the second division which sailed from the Downs.
In consequence of some information said to have been received, relative to the secret articles of the treaty between Russia and France, sir Stephen Sharpe our counsel at Petersburg, who has been in this country upon leave was dispatched upon a special mission to the Russian government.
Paris papers have arrived to the 7th & Dutch to the 11th. The Moniteur of the 6th contains some notes upon the news extracted from the English papers. It asserts that Prussia will never ratify her treaty with us, and that she will not on-
ly shut her ports against us but declare war. What Bonaparte proposes to accomplish by forcing Prussia to declare war we know not. The hostility of Prussia can now be of no injury to us. From the language of the French papers, in speaking of the king of Sweden, it is evident that Bonaparte will not make peace with him unless he consents to abandon all his German territories.
40,000 men it is said are to be assembled at Bayonne, for the purpose of forcing Portugal to shut her ports against this country. The assembling of so large a force is, we have little doubt for other objects than the mere shutting the Portuguese ports. Spain has not yet received the recompence of her devotion to the conqueror; and Portugal perhaps is again destined to be under the Spanish yoke.

Paris, August 3.
Letters from Hamburg state, that a Russian squadron is to join the Danish fleet in order to shut the sound against the English—It is also said that for the same purpose a corps of French troops is to proceed to Denmark to act in concert with that court.
The Cardinal of York bequeathed, a short time before his death, to the king of Sardinia all his jewels, worth about four millions of francs, and his title to the crown of Great Britain.
The king of Holland is now at Tarascov, and drinks the waters of Uffat. He is much better. The queen is at Cauterets, where she drinks the waters of that place. The prince Benevento, and the secretary Maret, arrived here on the first.
August 5.
A letter from Copenhagen dated July 18, says, "The Council of War has not yet decided upon the fate of the principals and accomplices in the late troubles which have taken place in that capital. It is prosecuting its inquiries with activity. The regiment of cavalry of Zealand, stationed in the suburbs, continues to send paroles into the city."
It is said that the Marshals of the Empire commanding the different corps of the Grand Army are named Dukes, and receive their titles from estates in Poland, which they are entitled to sell and exchange for others in France. The Generals Walter and Savary will obtain the same favour. M. Chamagny, the Minister of the interior will also be created a Duke.
The peace has been promulgated in all the cities of the empire with the greatest solemnity, and amidst the unanimous and loud repeated cries of—Long live Napoleon the Great!—Every where the public joy and gratitude have been manifested by spontaneous illuminations, and devices and inscriptions suited to the occasion.
August 6.
A deputation from the senate, with the president Lachepede at their head, and both the praetors, with the marshal duke of Danzio, and M. Clemen de Ris, went yesterday to St. Cloud, to congratulate the king of Westphalia. A deputation from the tribunal was also admitted to an audience of his majesty.
BATONNE, July 21.
Every thing on our shores wears a warlike appearance. We are in daily expectation of seeing French troops who are to form an army of 10,000 men for the purpose of compelling Portugal to shut her ports against the English.
GOTTENBURGH, Aug. 7.
By accounts from Elsinour we learn, that the first division of the English fleet passed the castle of Cronberg on Monday last, and saluted and received a salute in the customary manner.
A letter from Copenhagen states, that all the inhabitants of the suburbs have received orders for preparing for a considerable number of cavalry to be quartered there.
BALTIMORE, September 25.
Arrived, schr. Jane, Jones, 14 days from St. Thomas—Ballast—P. A. Guestier. Capt. Finegan of Baltimore, sold his schr. the Punch and bought a schr. called the Rose and Ann, to sail in a few days: schr. Pilot's Friend from N. York, arrived 10th inst. The pilot informs that he saw a schr. supposed one of the British tenders, off Patuxent, she came to anchor in the middle of the bay; the boats of the Patriot seeing her, got under way and stood towards her; as soon as she saw them, she up anchor and stood over to the Eastern Shore, towards Kent Island, and was then under jib and mainsail, night came on and they lost sight of her. She appeared to avoid every vessel that came near her.
Arrived, schr. Alexander, Athoe, 90 days from Trieste and 49 from Gibraltar; Linens and Glass Ware: Lorman and Fulford. Left at Trieste, ship Lewis, Massey of Boston, for Tangiers in 3 days; schr. Fair American, Hoar of Norfolk, for Messina in 10 days. July 21, off Algiers, spoke brig Joseph, Poor,
41 days from Boston, for Palermo, all well. Aug. 7, at Gibraltar, ship Fair American, Harding, from Baltimore, for Leghorn, ship and cargo condemned, schr. Lovely Lucy, Chalmers from Baltimore, for Leghorn, brought in one third of cargo condemned, the remainder cleared; a few others names unknown. Sept. 11, lat. 33, long. 65, spoke brig Jane, from New York, out 7 days on her outward passage. May 14th, at the entrance of the Gulph of Venice, was boarded, robbed and plundered, by a Maltese privateer, of 16 guns under French colors. July 14, off the island of Sicily, was taken by another Maltese privateer, who put on board a prize master and crew, and sent her into Malta. Capt. A. was taken on board the privateer and brought into the harbor, the papers of the schr. being examined by the gov. was discharged after being 5 days in the hands of the privateer, without expence. Capt. A. learned that a great many Americans were detained in Malta, under various pretences, but could not hear any of their names, as he was not permitted to go on shore. Brig Susanna, Franklin, for Baltimore sailed from Gibraltar 5th August.
Also ship Bashaw, Peterson, 75 days from Monte Viedo, hides, tallow, horns, Robert Gilmor & sons. Left there 10th of July. The reports there were that the British army consisting of 10,000 men, had landed about 30 miles from Buenos Ayres on the 21st of June and on the 6th of July were within two leagues of the outworks which the Spaniards had thrown up near that city for its defence. Left at Monte Viedo waiting for the capture of Buenos Ayres, about 80 sail of British merchant ships, principally loaded with British manufactures for which there was no vent. Left also the following American vessels uncertain when to sail: ships, Palmyra, Whitney of Providence; Arrow, Fletcher, Boston; Print Dixey, do; brig Pallas, Rice, for Boston in 10 days; Maria, Correy, of do; schr. Sophrona, Marner, N. York, and 6 large Danish & Hamburg ships.
Business at Monte Viedo, was in a state of entire stagnation; when capt. P. sailed, there was not more than 3 ships loading and none discharging. What little was done was principally with the British commissary general, chiefly for the supply of the troops with liquors, &c. In fact it appeared that articles of every description (common ardent spirits excepted) could be procured at a much lower rate than where they originally came from. Spoke 10th July near the line, ship Commerce Bunker, from a whaling voyage, bound to Nantucket, off Barbadoes spoke brig Orion, of Bath. Came into the Capes on Friday last, and anchored a short distance from the British ships. They boarded him and treated him with the utmost politeness.
Also ship Wm Taylor, Hitchcock, 75 days from Amsterdam—ballast. Sailed 22d July in company with ship Wm Wilson, Gibson, for Baltimore. Sept. 8th, lat. 33, long. 60, spoke brig Harlequin, from New York for Madeira; who on the 19th of Aug. in a gale of wind lost her mainmast and deck load. Having sprung a leak, was obliged to heave overboard 150 barrels of flour, and 200 hlds. of corn. Had 5 feet water in the hold, and was endeavouring to get into the first port. Sept. 13, lat. 37 long. 72, spoke Nancy, Hobbs, from Baltimore for Liverpool.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.
Extract of a letter, dated London, Aug. 15.
"Messrs. Mulletts have just received information by way of Paris, that the Shepherdess, Doan, from London, to New York, having been carried into Bilbao, the judge of Bilbao has declared the capture to be unjustifiable, and has condemned the captors with damages & interest. The reasons given by the captors for detention were—1st. The French decree of the 21st November, declaring England to be in a state of blockade—2d. That she carried more passengers than her papers mentioned—3d. That her bills of lading were not signed."
The following article from the Hague dated July 21, is in our opinion, of much importance. It throws considerable light on the future intentions of Bonaparte relative to Turkey.— London paper.
"The Haerlem Journal, under the head of intelligence from Paris, states, that an eminent French general and sovereign prince is intended to be king of Greece."
Several ships, it is said were lost in the north sea in June; among them an English ship of war, with several transports, which had cavalry on board, near Stronsidst—From 6 to 700 dead bodies, horses, &c. &c. are said to have been washed on shore.
COMMUNICATION. —Many persons are anxious to know, whether if the British reject the President's demands, war follows of course? And whether, if the British should consider that withdrawing our minister as proof that this country had determined on war, & should under that impression adopt hostile measures, our Congress would conceive it remained for them to pursue any other course than that of declaring war?
Phil. paper.
Communicated. —A meeting took place between Dr. STARK, and Capt. GORDON, of the Chesapeake, in consequence of a dispute on the subject of Commodore Barron's conduct: several shots were exchanged without effect. The affair terminated in the Doctor's receiving a wound through the arm from Lieutenant Crane, the friend of Capt. Gordon!
[Norfolk Herald]
PROSPECT BEFORE ENGLAND.
The events which have lately taken place on the continent of Europe, have aroused the genius and spirit of England. A writer, who appears to feel as well as to reason on the subject, remarks as follows: "The overthrow of the continent of Europe has not only strengthened the hands of the enemy, but it has also contributed to aggrandize the sense of his power. We are the only people remaining, who possess the spirit, courage, and virtue to resist his authority; consequently we must expect that the war which he is about to wage against us, will be bitter in the extreme, cruel and unrelenting." When judicious measures shall have been projected and enforced, the people will be no longer divided; we shall no more hear it said, "we want men, and care not for measures;" or "we want measures, and care not for men;"—but the unanimous voice of the nation, under a courageous and prudent management, will be, "we have both men and measures and we want nothing more."
"We should make up our minds, that peace is incompatible with the present system and power of France.—Peace with France brings the ruin of Great Britain; all our plans should be built upon the probability of a war that shall last twenty years. Let it be remembered, that the contest in which we are engaged, is for life or death, that half measures and temporary expedients, can never maintain a country which is menaced with the deferred revenge of the most ferocious passions, wielding in its support the collected fragments of a subjugated world."
