Question. WHAT are the duties Of chris.
'ians towards t5e princes by whom they
are governed, aud particularly ,owa,ds our
! emperor Napoleon ls,.?
vAas. AL christians owe to the princes
BY whom they arc governed, and zps 10
particular ose TO our emperor Napoleon
Isl, respect, ch=dence love, fidelity, mill.
Iary service, irsbu.es oydc.sd for the pre-
sefsatlon OF bis empire and throne; We.
owe hlm also tsrvent prayers for his safety
aud for the spiritual and temporal pros
perry 81 his state.
9. Why ate webound in such duties
towards cur emperpr!
Il. First, because God, who createsem
pires, and dlstSibutes then al rh;s pleasure
by dispensing his blessings in peace add In
war to cur emperor, has coma med him as;
our sovereign, and has es,ablahed him as
the minister OF his power aad as his image
.utonl earth. ! o honor and serve our EN-
peror.ls The same as 10 flcnor and serveGod /

his example, has taught Us what we owe .
tc our rulers.
g. Are there net other more particular |.
mouvcs, by which we should be more

Il. Yes; because God has raised him
up, 10 such trying times, for the purpose
of re-estahlishlng the4ho!y worship Of our
ancestors, andto be :he protector Of our
sacred religion because he has brought
back and preserved psblic order, by his.
.profound and energetic wisdom; because

upon the brave nation which was TO be thus
drawn into the lure. The public papers an
nouced the intrigue as having succeeded; 3
but lately we heard of an interview between
the King and Marshal Bruno. But this IN
terview never took place, or at any rate
produced no results Of importance. On the
contrary hostiltics are on the point of COM
mencing between Sweden and France.
Two French divisions are on their march
against Swedish Pomer4nia and General
Butcher has issued FROM Stralsund a spirit
ed proclamation, addressed to the Prussian
troops.
" Amid the gloom Of general disaster,
and anxious apprehension for the future,
this is At least CLEAN Of sunshine
1t is certain that great number Of
Prussian prisoners have escaped; and that
of those who entered into the Dutch SER
vice, no mconsiderable number have deser
ted. Several Irishmen, 800 Of whom, il
will be recolected, were some years since
sold to the King OF Prussia, and were glad
to redeem life already forfeited to tie
laws, by taking up Prussian frclock, have
been among the fugitives in our neighbor-

their Punishment, learned to love their coun-
try ard, have no doubt, would prove

that the ablence ofLouis is connected
with fome intended reltraints upon

that Louis counived az the ovation Of
Bonaparte's decree, By which this
country was declared in a fate of
blockade. and that he gave every fact

shants 70 continue their cuitomary

proved by his infatuated brother. On
the contrary, Louis is faid TO have
been fharply centred for conniving
At any kind Of communication with

SIR,

deemed it only necessary to say that

it my duty to reply, as court Of inqui-
ry will shortly convene for the purpose
of investigating the affair Of the Chesa-
peake and Leopard, and through that
channel the public may expect cor

publication on my part would be useless
and improper. Something more sub

The London papers state, that the
firesrnt British Ministry very promptly
and pOintedly discountenanced the i'm
pertinance Of Captain Love, Of the
Driver sloop Of war, shewn in his ans
swer to the letter Of the American
Commandment at Charleston. This
looks we'll and we infer from it, the
PREPARATION which President Jefferson
says he has demanded for the attack oil
the Chesapeake, has been sought III
the spirit which directed theProclama-
ton, and is disconnected with other
subjects, that the British Government
viii with equal promptness and eff
cheney comply with the demand. Our
expectation, that we shall have NO
WAR on account Of The outrage on
the Chesapeake, is thus strengthened
we find by SteePs list for April, that
the Driver was then commanded by
Captain Love but by the list for June,
that he IS removed, and that the, Driver
IS commanded by captain Clasidge.--
