people to the prefent government and altho'
they may be reRrained by fear from rifing in
MATS TO facilitate the operations ofthe invaders,
I itil they will do nothing which they can avoid
to fupport the interefts of the prefent govern
| meat, becaufe no change Can make their ftua-
tion worfc.
If however regular and fubaantial oppoli-
| tion fhall be made by the Ottoman government,
It will require little more time to effect the
revolution. Venice alone formerly waged an
equal war with the Turks, and tho far inferior
in numbers, by her Kill and bravery baffied
their dehgns and Imported her independently.
II this was done by Venice alone when the Tur-
kin power was in its greatee vigor what may
not be expected from the gigantic arm of the
matchlefs Napoleon!
Much more has been faid concerning Turkey
than was merely necetlary to iluffrate the pro-
liabilities and Pofhhility of revolution. The
reader Is now acquainted with the contradic-
tory interefts and oppofng feelings which exif
in that empire.-The real Turks or Ottonans
who adminfter the government and hold all
Offices civil and military. are very different and
ditinet race of people from the general inha-
bitdnts. The firt and the fccond are the ma
turat enemies of each other. There is all the
difference between them which exits between
matter and flave. 1t is from thofe who are
now enchained, from thofe who are held in
bondage, that cooperation is to be expected.
IF new order of things ihould be eftablilhed,
it would Immediately merit the appreciation;
and receive the aid of an immenfe and valuable
population. The whole country would at
ance receive different deitiny, and the people
wo1i,s4 exhibit new and brilliant character.
Such arc the refources which may be obtain.
ed even in Tuisey to invade the Britiih Domi-
Mons in India. In this way, Bonaparte by
exertions, and with means which would no.
enfure him even fuccefsful landing in Eng
land, may reftore to the rights of free agency,
and to the privileges of humanity, many mi.ii-
ons of his fellow creatures who are now groan.
ing in miGrry: Aud he may Immediately rem
der hem ufeful, in facilitating mis- Interior pro.
jeets towards India.
What number Of men, it will be afked, will
be necefary to make fucCefsful exoed ion
to India? Upon this fuojett it is not necefIarv
to defend to nicely. If a revolution nIe,f;n,
to the inhabitants iball be accomplished ;n
Turkey by the fundamentally of Bonapar,e.
1t will be in his power 10 obtain from the do.
minions of Turkey as many men as will he ne.
celfary to efabliih potts of communication
from Conltantinople to Indofan. And the
| fame kind of conduct and treatment which will
BIZ neccffary to procure the aid and confidence
of the new auxiliaries will infure the friendf,io
and cooperation of all the people through
whole countries it will be necefary to p.fs.
Such communications being eftabIifhed, an
intercourfe not only for military but for com.
| mercial and political purpofes will be eftablih.
! ed alto ; but the adjacent inhabitants will find
| many Endorsements to counternance & give fafety
and protection, to that fyitem which affords
them certain market for the products of their
| labours.
Altho this eStenive proiea fhouTd be purfued
with that energy and fuccefs which is peculiar
to Napoleon, there is nothing to prevent
| Simultaneous preparation to meet the Britifh
upon that element, where they now are 70 pre-.
eminent where they have obtained 70 MANY
fpleudid triumphs and where the preient ma
val power Of France is bat as anatom.
AT this moment, G. b. poGsfTe, a navy e.
quail in number and force tn all the fl1ips OF tie
world greatly hyperion in fkill, and as brave as
the mott fanguine euiogiit can win to pour
! tray, A contea therefore with G. Britain will
appear not only unavailing but ridiculous.
I The notoriety of thefe truths ia 70 we'll efab
liihed and believed, that tbs hardly neceGary
to FAY. that it is impof1ible for Bonaparte to in
wade G.. Britain with an army of fufficient
ftrength to make ferrous impreffion. This
very circumftancc which will afford TO the
friends of Eng and much caufe for joy, operate.
powerfully to prove that the, other project
the only one which is now practicable, will be
attempted.
Nor is this all. Many Americans feem to fear
that BonaParte, after accomplishing his defgns
in Europe. will attempt the fubiugation of the
U. S. They give way to their fears and fufD;.
cioos, and in the proportion as they are mifle.i
by the delulions or terrors of their own minds,
they give a loofe TO inveetives and viIifcation.
Errors OF this fort are extremely prevalent
| They are encouraged by another defcription of
perfons, who care AS little for America as for
Donaparte who are altogether welded to the
in'ereas of G.. Britain, and if the fubugation
of the United States by France, neither affect
ed ther perfonal intereffs nor the Britih policy,
they would not feel pang if both Countries
ihonld fink into the greateft miferies.
! To thofe well-neaning but deluded Ameri-
| cans, who are miled by the errors of their oun
imaginations, or the dehgning infinuations of
others, it will be matter of COMPILATION to
know, that objects of much more Importance,
are prefented TO the mind of Napoleon. Tur-
keyin Europe, AGA and Africa, embracing all
thofe celebrated couotries, where arts, fcience
and civilization once fhed luftre over the hui
| man character, affords to his exalted mind the
| objects of fplendid and beneficial achievements.
Thefe are Objects not only grand and mag
nificent, but arc attanable. They are Object.
which will give additional fplendor to the chas
raeter OF Bonaparte. They will procure for
him the thanks and gratitude of the prefent
race, aud the everlafing applaufe of future
ages. If Bonaparte fhould flop here, the revo-
luton OF Turkey alone, would appear equal
to- the fplendor OF his character, and the illuf-
