one we meet. As soon as- France subdues Great

that at the opening of the ne%t Session of Coogres'
war would be declared against Great

Non-intercourse Bill passed, making it treason eve 'a

. Knowing the dangerous conseqnences which would
• result to human happiness from the destruaion of
the balance of power (that phantom, as Mr. Sef-
fersou's Paper impiously, calls it), all nations, in all
ages of the world, 'have shewn such a jealous sensi-
bility on the subject, that they_have.cheerfully put at
hazard every thing valuable among men, to preserve
it from the grasp of any wicked or aspiring indi-
vidual, or combination of men. lii all States, 'both
ancient and modern, we find. nations becoming al-
ternately friends or foes, as this vital principle of
their being was likely to be affected by the over-
grown power of any one. Nothing but corruption,
or the force of perverse and blind passions, could
ever make men insensible to this fundamental prin-
ciple of national policy. It was reserved for Mr.
Jefferson, and. other disciples of the new philo'sophy,
in dare to promulgate a contrary doctrine iu the lace
of their insulted and menaced country. '
Nothing- shews more clearly, ,the hollow preten-
, *ions of our Administration to liberty, republicanism,
and the rights of men and of nations, than the side
they have taken (through their Wilda!" Gazettes) in
• favour of Buonaparte against the Spanish Patriots.
betrayed by that, Traitor, the Prince of Peace, into
alliance with France, Spain has profusely shed her
blood and treasure to aid (as.she was vainly taught to
Velieve) " the common cause of both nations,"., for a
course Of..thirteen years. , Alter having exhausted
conquest oh the Continent, the ungrateful and trea-.
cherous Corsican turns fits arms against his " dear
fr!end and ally," in order to placeibis creature, bro-
ther, oo the throne. It is for this pious.purpoSe that
he is determined to stied torrents of human blood—
it is to prevent their becoming hewers of wood and
carriers of Water to King Joseph Napoleon, that the
whole Spanish nation has taken up arms--deter-
rained to live free or die. It was the horrid mas-
sacres on the 2d of May last, Madrid, of their
Countrymen, friends, and relatives, by the ferocious
and bloody Murat, "which lighted the torch in the
bosom Of every Spaniard, man, woman, and child,
A flame of indignant patriotism has burst forth from
the long-continued and SysteMatic cruelties and atro-
cities of Buonaparte; which will not be quenched
till their dear native land is purged- of hex merciless
invaders.
If ever a nation had a just cause of war, the
Spanish Patriots have in their pre.ent contest with
the Emperor of France. They. were goaded almost
