I have, in my former letters, recommended the
plan of forming the male of the people into rise
corps t i did fu, becaufe the plan was eafily
cable, and if pot into execution, would at once
throw all idea of danger to the country out of the
queflion ; I thought that a !dingier might well con-
gratulate the empire on fafety .foeafily acquired, and
preferved, and fay, with fume exultation to the peo.

my plan be of Inch immenfe utility as I have pre-
fumed it to be, becaufe it requires the fire and indivi-
dual enthufialm only to be met with in free States,
to bring this fort of levy into exiftence, and to ani-
mate it after its formation. Thus, in free States, or
States combating for liberty, we have alone ken the
people thus called out, and we can well remember
with how great faced's. Britain, if true to herfelf in
this refpeet, will never have to behold the hoftile
Bandard long flying on her territory, fince there can

of the long triumphant Britons can brook the indig-
nities which it will be the conqueror's glory to
and from which they may long look to death fur de-
liverance ; let them but call to mind the menaces,
both loud and deep, fo often vented againft us from

The Kura will hold a Council on Monday. when
the Speech to be delivered to Parliament on the
lowing day will be read to His Ma'am for his lip
probation.

Three Hamburgh Mails ftill remain due, and no
accounts whatever bave been received from the Con.
tineut of a date pofterior to the importint details we
yefterdsy laid before our Readers.
We think there can be little doubt that the Peace
that has been ligned between NAPOLION and Fear cis
is definitive. By this Peace the German Conftitution
is abolifbed for ever. Its fate was apparent from
the events that clofed the former war--now its Om
is fealed.—Auliria is thrua out of Europeomel thofe
barriers hitherto deemed fo formidable: are now in
the bands of her enemies. She tan hardly ever now
carry on an offenlive war again ft. France. All the
indemeities (he can receive in the EAR cannot 'clime
her political importance. She can fcarcely be confi-
dered a principal power in Europe.
The creation of new kingdoms in the prefent cir-
cumfiances of Europe, only adds to its fubjngatiou.
The new Monarchs only become fatellites to the Chief
of the new dynafties. and every arrangement has heii
one objea—his aggrandifement, and the comp's*
depenclance of thole mocked with the name of Kings
on him who permits them to ezift.
All this, we are lorry to fay, is beheld in this
country as a Irene in which we have no iatereft. It
is merely the fubjeft of idle declamation, and no more
energy is excited by the recital of Nsrot.son's vino.

The public attention is naturally turned to the
defiination of the Breft Fleet. It teems that they
had reached the trade winds, and were therefore
fuppoled to be fafe from the meeting with the par-
Ming fleet. Some pretend that the French are gone
to the Weft Indies; others alert that their deflination
is the Cagle of Good Hope. Had the advice been
followed which our Readers wilt reeoftell that we
have repeatedly given, there could be no uncertainty
on that fubjea. Po(laity will feareely believe that,
pofieffed of the command of the fee during the
two firft years of the war, we fhould have neglected
the opportunity of becoming meters of the Cape of
Good Hope. An expedition, indeed, (ailed fome
months ago with that ofienfible object ; but it is now
laid that its exertions are directed to another quarter.
It is indeed pollible that the E ench Beet may fleer
to the weftward, as a feint, in order to proceed to the
North and rcleafe the Tezcl fleet. After this junc-
tion, it would not be imprallicable to convey the
Boulogne flotilla to this country. This fubjedt we

In anfwer to the ketch of the Prefident, the Congrefb

On this Refolution, the New rei4 Joining Pill, of
