express his reluctance at our being invited to the Congress,
and his hope that we may reject the invitation. What could
pleate him better th.:n to sec the scat of England vacant in
the assembly of nations ?- Fic would attribute this desertion
of our post, to our consciousness of wrong, and the credu-
lity of Pt ine,es might believe him. To assert and establish
the justice of our cau•se, let us be forethost in the discus-
sions for peace, as we have hitherto been in the fields of war.
The chief objection against entering into the negociations
now opening on the Continent, is, that the terms proposed
will be found inadmi!,sible. If so, tlity must and will be
re,jected-. The uosvitted hotioor of England must not be
stained ; her pre--minence in power, liberty and glory must
not be endangered, even to purc?,ase the blessings of peace.
She must remain, at the conclusion of hostilities what she
has been whilst they raged--a monument of ancient freedom
founded by wisdom, supported by courage, unshaken amidst
the revolutions of the earth, and towering in pristine and
unimpaired majesty, amidst humbled and less fortunate ea-
tions. he must retain the strength that fixed her in her
present elevated situation, and should, notwithst,nding her
efforts, the intrigues of NAPOLEON prevail, and the Conti-
nent resume, yvith its fetters, its hostility apinst her ; she
must once more rise in arms, confident in her tried re-
sources, in the skill, spirit and patriotism of her sons, to en-
counter and defeat the attempts of a misled world. lint it is
both harsh and premature to suppose, that in a Congress, one
half of whose members consist of our Allies, Powers assisted
on all occasions with our treasure, and -frequeutly with our
blood, no conditions should be framed but sucu as it would be
degrading for us to discuss, and ruinous to accept. Our great
Ql,?-nent himself, it must not be lot gotten, comes to this
assLnibly with diminished influence and curtailed .pre-.
tensions. Ile no longer dictates his will to obedient .vassals..
They have felt their own stiength, and, though disposed by
4 partial change of fortune towards peace, are still willaig
exert it in the vigorous prosecution of war, if war be made
unavoidable by his unrelenting ambition.- They will therefore.
out of mere policy, if not out of gratitude, provided they sees~
themselves not deserted by us in this Congress, consider our
interests as their own, and only make peace on terms admis-
sible by all parties. inferior in the Geld, they will regain-by
our co-opvratiou on this occasion, as much importance as
they have lost by the battles of Lutzen and Wurtchen and
their retreat. With England on their side, they would be
still on an equality with France, even were Austria to throw
all her weight in the balance against them. England, then,
instead of moving in their train, and, as some have pre-
tended, sinking into a, secondary rank, still fills the first and
must be treated with as such. Would France, at any time,
allow some of her Allies to negociate a Peace without being
Included herself as a principal in the Treaty ? No; she
would consider such Powers as her enemies,, and instantly
declare war against them. And thould England act dif-
ferently? Instead of refusing to send an Ambassador to the
general Congress, should she not resent it as a base deser-
tion of her iilterests if she were not invited to it by her
Allies? And when thus invited, would it not be betraying an
impolitic, if not an unjust, distrust of those Allies, to refuse
their invitation under the plea that it was degrading and
injurious

to the General Congress, and rejecting the terms which may
