mit:tering Power. He consented to _participate lit

of uggiandizetnent with which ihrokArAaxillatter.,
ed his hereditary ambition.
Can it be argued for a moment, that when.Amm-
ketra:lt' concluded this Treaty he retained any friend=
IY-:sentimentS towards ENULA ? Zs it not .per.
featly clear, that his wind was, at that moment,
coMpletely estranged from the British Government-'
Indc..ed, it is unnecessary to dwell longer'on this
point than to ask, 'whether the refusal to renew the
Commercial TaBArY did not long precede the DA-
NISH War ?

'With whatever'sentitnents, therefore, Russia may
view that necessary measure, it 'certainly did not
bring about the alteration in her sentiments, which
has converted her front an Ally of England into an
Associate of France. That conversion is to be at-
tributed to this deceitful system of the Administra-
tion,. whose measures were to " conciliate all Foreign
Courts,"—to " malie, the British name req.etiable
among our friends, and formidable to our enemies !"
It is to be attributed to that constant collision of
sentiment in a Cabinet composed of persons holding
opinions diametrically opposite—a Cabinet its which
every thing was corn promile : one Party had influence
enough to encourage the renew?' of the War—the
other prevailed in withholding lite assistance of
England. There cannot be a more forcible illustra-
tion of the advantages of comprehensive Administra-
tions ! .

But to return to the Russian Declaration ; Eng-
land is accused uf" troubling the Ctimmerce of Rua.
sia, at sea," while she was sheddiug her, blood in the
most 'glorious warfare." This, we cutileSs, is not
quite inteliigible'to US. Complaints-344415t our con.
du& on t he Se 4 to Ne4tra/PoWers,are frequent, and are
generally broaght forward When they wish for a pre.
titite to quarrel ; but Russia was a!1 Ally in the
War, a State equally interested with us in re,
diming the power of France. We appliei no
restritlionates her commerce which were not equally
caromed on our own Subjects. IC fbally seems
that M. Rom.tiOw was ordered by BUONAPARTE to
insert this paragraph ,in his Manifesto, and that be
put it in the wroneplace. If it 'referred to Russia
as' neutral, it would be false,--,but as it,standS, it is
absurd.

Another cause of complaint is found in the re-
filial of our Government to accept of the mediation
of Russia. This,, as ground of war, is equally
tile. A Prince engaged in a common war, makes
his separate peace, and then quarrels with his Code..
. &trate because he hesitates at following his example.
But the the fa& is, that we have here a very, strong
ground of complaint against Russia. True it is that
Rusitia °fired her mediation towards a- Peace with
France; hut in making this otlor, .she did net
condescend to communicate. the Treaty upon Which
irtuas founded, npr the lintito. tions to which -it Was
'Thtiea, We found out, from the Foreign Papers,
that the offer of this Medidtkm anise out of the
Peace of Tilsit, and, that if not accepted within a
month,: it was to be void.

This insincere conduit 'would have justified our
Ministry in breaking oIV all communication with the
Court of St. Petersburgh.
It joined'Ftenee'iti'an attempt to throw upon us
