RANGES of attachment and fupport.
In the ready and cheerful dilcharge

have firm perfuafion that all the mea-
iureS of your administration, and more
particularly thole which concern our

Of eminent wiGdom and unlhaken patri-
otifm.
As part Of the American people,
educated to the love and enjoyment of
liberty, and in the habits of veneration
tor republican virtues, we have no lam
guage to exprels our indignation at the
late meafures of the French republic,
originating in the mott infamous and
corrupt itratagems to annihilate our ma
tional iovereignty. While every prin-
ciPle OF duty and interef prompts us to
unite in the prelervation and defence of
our excellent contribution, and in the
fuPport of thole by whom it has been
faithfully administered, we cannot but
exprefS our deep regret that the citizens
OF France do not feem to poHefS virtue
1uIHClehl 10 merit the 0lelIn9S OF tree

However wicked and hottie may be
the.r defgns upon US, our confidence,
under the favor Of heaven, is in the for

men, to reprefS their pernicious effects ;
and we fully believe at the fame time,
thata nation under the rod and yoke of

ed and corrupted, ought nat TO be feared.
For your firm and-dignifed relifance
a8ainit the aggrefions of our European
enemies, we render you our warIneft
gratitude, and beg leave to repeat our
afGrances, that fuch meafu1es as fhall be
dcviied BY you and the Congress ofthe
