Inflated by uniform success, and imagining that Great
Britain was about to yield to the efforts of Buonaparte, they
pursued their cartes. To close it• in a signal manner, they
declared war against Britain. Months hare since elapsed,
and this vain nation has. now learned, that when they fol-
lowed the systems of their predecessors they succeeded—
when
they pursued their own vain imaginations they failed.
And, here it is that we have to regret, that their naval suc-
cess may give them a foundstion for influence in Enrope,
which, in our future negariations with its diffeieut Powers will
be deeply felt. It is a duty now incumbent on his Majes-
ty's Ministers so to conduct the °pet ations on shore, and
with such rapid,tv, as to counteract the unpleasant effects
so hkely to wise from their success at sea.
Such is the state of the relations of the United States

have united their interest to that of the Government, or ra-
