blasters! Senators !--When your wisdom called
tutder the standards the Conscripts of loom, your
wishes were directed to the peace which spiel/did
victories hail prepared. You sought to secure new
means to conquer and to pacify. The sneer's', has
exceeded your hope. The flumes of war are ex-
tinguished upon the Continent ; a durable peace
lass been sworn between two of the greatest Sure-
reign's on earth, and Europe has a breathing time.
But there is a Government to which the repose
of Europe is dcwiseir, to which pence is horror,
to which discord is a want, and war is hope. Eng-
land has answered the offer of ei generous media-
tion, proposed by the Emperor, by eatryiog fire
and sword among the people of its most ancient
Ally ; by professing nowt solemnly a contempt of
the law of stations; by proclaiming most it-Mutuality
the principle of eternal war. 'lite indignation of
all Sovereigns corresponds with the mainfest inju-
ries' the crafty deelaratious. the barbarous acts of
the Cabinet of St. James's. The hopes with which
the Orators of Ills bitejesty inspired you about a
year ago from this Tribonal, are reolueetl.
" It is," we said. " finin the bosom of the
Continent, which England has sought to em-
broil, that a terrible war o ill be carried on
against her. It is in applying to her, upon all the
shorts/ of Europe, the principles which she has ex-
ercised upon all the seat, that she will be brought
•k to the ancient principles of the lan of natioos,2
apt of civilized saris. It is in banishing her vet/.
eels from all the coasts where we have soldiers and
allies, that the English Ministry will be punished
for the crimisted refusal to give peace to the
world."
Such, Senators, were the words that we address-
ed to you /when deusseoling the conscription of
1808, and behold now in fact, a sacred and power-
ful league is formed to punish the Eieglish oligar-
chy, to deleud the law of uatioui; ond avenge hu-
manity. From the Baltic Sea to the Mediterra-
nean, from the Nile to the Neva, scarcely do there
remain, for the ships of Greet Britain,. a few
beaches whew. euay laud, a few points where
they are not forbidden to touch.
lint it is not enough to hare pronounced against
England, by a just reciproeity,thes terrible outlawry
of nations. It is further ileorwary that it should
not lee allowed to b': in repose in the seat of its
unjust domination, on any of its coasts, iu any of
its colonies, on any of the points of the globe from
which it is not vet interdicted. It is necessary
that, driven from one part of the world and
menaced in all the rest, England should. not
know where to direct the little military force
that she has disposable, and that oar armies,
mend formidable than ever, should be ready
to duly into her pasaassions our victorious and
avensing Eagles. Suet are, Sirs, the motives that
have determined His Maitsty to demand from you
a new Conscription.
The levy of the preceding one has been, as you
foresaw, the pledge a( the contiuentel peace. The
levy of the present one will be the presage of the
manhole preset. The pillage of the arsenal and
the port of Copenhagen, the emigration of the
l'odoKuese fleet, have nut yet. left the Continent

Our Legions may yet reach the Erisiish Militia;
inland may yet hope for succour monist oppres-
sion ; ludia may yet expect deli/wren. And
while our old phalanxes shall march' to hasten the
days of justice, new legions of young heroes will
learn discipline sod warfare under the paternal eye
of these military Magistrates—of those Generals.
Senators, who, with such happy zeal, have already
formed heroes to replace those whom war has car-
tied off from the country, or whom leave of ale
serve has restored to their families.
