AMERICA.

We have been favoUred with a Copy of the eloquent Speech of
one of the most enlightened Senators of America, Mr. BAYAILD,
in the Secret Debate on the quesLion of War with Great Britain.
It is a luminous and a temperate fetes,/ of the trine of the rela-
tions of America with the two great European Powfts now at
war; and the private communications from Jots. Baa Low at
Paris, upon which Mr. BA v a o's arguments are founded, must
impress every reader most forcibly with the conviction th..t the
deciatation of War against Great Britain, in the absence of all
posiebte information respecting the dispositions of the French
Government, was at least a must precipitate, if not a most
wicked and mal•gnant exercise of authority on the part of the
Faction which now predominates at Washington.
We have to repeat our apprehensions that the sliitemperetl
systdm of policy, the Piatica per," which the emissaries of
}juke hive so artfully instilled into the minds of the Menibers
of the American Giternment, will not be satisfied with the re-
peal of our Orders in Cotlncil. The two countries will, there-
fore, be plunged into a war, but is will be of a short duration—
dills!: months of active Naval operations will destroy every ves-
tige of the Lilliputian Navy of America, and totally ruin the
Commercial part of her population. Ilmaison and his faction
will fall a just sacrifice to the indignation of a misguided but
proud and independent people, and the Federalists will come
once more into power amid the acclamations of all good and;
virtuous men in both hemispheres.

'1 he Editor of the Philddslphia Jaintal tints introduces Mr., '
BATAID'S Speech:—" An attemive pausal of this important..,
document, must convince every man, that neither argument nor
tloquence, nor the most conclusive facto, such as the declaration •
of.luel Barlow, that As Government, of Fr agree, tusidel enter lets st•
Caseasercial arravemilt .with tie Lraild Sian, produced in evi-
dence to the Silielk could avail ios obtain even a postponement

•• SPEECH
OW DIR. S'AYARD, IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES,
Upon his Motioa made en the 16th of luneoo postpone the Br-
iber considemtion of the Bill, declaring War against Great.Bri-
, rain, to the ii at of October.
" Mr. BAYARD said, that he was entirely sensible
of the inutility, in general of entering upon the dia.
cussion of .a subject which had been a long time un-
der consideration, and upon which it might be sup.'
posed that the oOhlions of members' were fl rmed
and settled; but on an occasion so momentous as the
present, he skould '.ot feel himself justified in sub- '
1 mittitig even a motion' of postponement,. without.
1 offering his reasons. in support of it—nor could he
think mat in giying a silent vote, that he had dis.
charged the duty of his station. Gentlerrien would
remark, thtit he bad confined his motion to time, in*
order tbatmembers might not be tompromitted in
supporting it, who. might .think- the war itself jiltt
and necessary.' The motion did hot opp6,e or deny
