" If the reasonabless of expectations, draWn from these consi-
derations, could guarantee their fulfilment, a just peace would not
beAdistant. But it heetue: the wisdom of the National Lethrliture
to'keep in mind the true policy, .pr rather the indispensable Obliga-
tion ofadapting its measures to the soppozition, that the only course
to that happy event is in the vigorous employment of the resources
6;f war : and painful aS.the reflection k this duty is particularly en-
forced by the spirit and manner in which the war contimies to be
w7,ged by the enemy, who, unitiflucnced by the unvaried example
of humanity set them, are adding to the .savate fury of it on our
frontier, a system of plunder and conflagration on the other, coimllty
forbidden by respect for national character, and the eStabllshed
rules of civilised warfilre.

" an encouragement to persevering and invigorating eveetions
to briug the contest to a •happy result, I have the satisfaction of
being able to appeal to the auspicious progress of our owu arms
both by land and on the water.
66 In continuation of the brilliant achievements of Our irfant
rt...y, a signal triumph has been gained by Captain I.l%lreucc and
his companinns in the Hamel sloop of war, which destroyed a Vri-
tish sloop of war, with a celerity so unexanip'•td, and with a slangth
ter of the enemy so dispropoitionee to the loss in the ',mid, ai
to chilli for the conquerers the highest praise, 'and the full recom-
pence provided by Congr&s in preceding eases. Our public ships •
of mat in general, as well as the private armed vessels, hate con i-
nued also their activity and sneecsi aoainst the commerce of the
enemy, and by their vigil:ince and address have greatly flustratett
the shorts of the hostile squadrons distributed aleog our MISt:;, to
intercept them ii, retaining into Fort, and resuming tin it cruises.
The atwinentation Nof Our naval to•e, as authoiised at the last Ses-
Pion of reangress, is in progress. On the lakes our stipetiority is
near at hand, wbere it is not already established.
" Tae events of the campaign, so far ac they are known to us,
furnisb matter of congratulation, and sheer, that nude:• a tii!,e orga-

and greater .ictmics—whilc, on the vestvin fiuntiers, the issne_of
the late siege of roil 77.eiz,s leaves nothing to regret but a sint.,le
act Of incor.si lera • ah;tit'.
" The suillen death of ihe distinguished Citizen who represented
the United S:ati in Fiance, withont any special arrangements by
Lim If.,r such contingency, has lett nc withont the expected sequel
to his last communicaskus.; nor has the French Government taken
any measure for Firinging the depending regeeialines to a comin-
