y the two last numbers of the
Wheeling Repository, writer, who
styles himself O. Fcderalist," has la
eoured with the ostensiblc purpose Of
proving the Editor Of the Aurora in an
error, and as acting inconsistency with
himself. But the real design is seen
through. He intends his ESSAYS to act
as lullaby upon the magnanimous spi-
r!t lately SO generally expressed, by all
classes Of true Americans, against the
unparalleled insult received from Bri-
tain. 1t would be ridiculous to suppose
he hoped either to prosclvte or irritate
Duane ; and being well convinced our
citizens would bear no palliatives on the
subject OF our murdered citizens and in
suited nation, he has left that subject
out OF the discussion, and insinuates that
II is question of minor importance =
when in truth it is the very nerve and
sensitive part; the very cause Off any
dOes) that will produce war with Bri-
tain. For what were Congress called at
an earlier day than usual ? What occa-
stoned the citizens throughout the u
nited States to express, as with one voice,
their adherence of British violence ?
Why did the President interdict British
armed ships their accustomed use of our
ports Not on account Of the 6 Fede-
ralist's" "great question" bat c mani
feSt'Y' on the subject of the Chesapeake.
a ,rGin Of circumstances, of recent
date, corroborate the opinion, that the
attack on the Chesapeake was premedi-
tated. The Indians according to Bri-
fish custom) were stimulated to renew
their savage murders. An additional
force has lately been thrown into Que
beck; and there is no doubt but the En-
glish government were in collision with
Burr, to destroy our internal peace, and
seize our 3outh-we5tern frontier, while
British squadrons would have blockad-
cd our ports and harbour. Il is evident
these menacing and iaithl IS acts were
not caused by the 4" Federalist's" great
question" not being settled, but from a
predetcrmination to go to war with US.

give up this great question: the En-
glish will (whenever they want seamen}
have the unmolested right to search our
vessels and take our seamen; and the
proof Gas it will all be in their own pow
er) that they are British subjects, will be,
that they talk the English language If
they speak in the least like an Irishman,
which is common for native Americans
to do In many parts of the United States,
that will be taken for certain evidence.
The Dutch and Germans will search for
and take all that have the least of their
dialect; and they are also numerous In
our country. The French will do the
same, from the same pretext: the Spa
niards the same. The Turks and the
different Barbary powers will lay claim
to all men Of colour. So that by such a
submission (and that too where the claim
is set up without the shadow of right)
we should not in a short time have a
vessel on the ocean, or a mariner to ma
vigate one. If we submit the right to
one power, we acknowledge the princi-
pie to all. Then will every maritime
power in the universe (if they please)
send to their own ports any American
vessel they may meet with, for legal ad-
Indication. All that will be requisite
for any nation at war, is for them to af-
firm that the American ship had enemy's
property ON board, and was trading to
an enemy. And even admitting that the
decisions would all turn out favourable
to the Americans, still the costs, deten-
ton, and other embarrassinents, would
be so great, that in such a state of things
man would be mad who would think of
risking capital in commercial enter
prize. And verify believe such would
be the effect of our submission to the
British assumed right of search.
But the {" Federalist" contends we are
inconsistent, because on former occa-
sion (Which he says was similar to the
presently we were not for war. The
g Federalist' on that former occasion
was for war. He was one of those who
thought "the finger Of heaven painted a:
7Var." If the causes are similar, why ID
he not for war now2 That we were

these plans, so far as we have seen them,
corresponds with great exactness, in our
opinion, with the dates of the last coali-
ton formed by Britain with Russia,
Prussia, &c. and had they been success
full in the battle of Friedland, we should
have been attacked in every vulnerable
quarter before this time. Our unparal-
leled commercial prosperity, we believe,
causes this hostile spirit IL Britain to-
wards us. Our East-India trade being
conducted without expensive conveys,
enables us to sell the merchandise of In
dia lower in all the ports of Europe, as
well as America, than the British East
India Company by which means we
have broken in upon their most lucra-
tive monopoly, insomuch that the Com
pany, if not already dissolved, is upon
the point Of commercial dissolution
To destroy these advantages and restore
their former monopolizing system, and
from the hope of immediate plumber,
they were willing to go to war with us:
and we believe war would have COM
menced about the time Of the attack on
the Chesapeake, but for the failure Of
all their mighty plans in this country
and in Europe.
Although we conceive these to be the
real "signs Of THE times, we do not shrink
from a discussion of the &C great ques-
tom" which, according to the C Fede-
raIist," is, " The British right to search
for and impress seamen from our mer-
chant ycssels-and to capture and con-
denim neutral vessels laden with the pro-
ducts of French and Spanish islands,
and bound to France, Spain, or their
dependencies" Now it would seem the
Federalist" would give up these great
principles without murmur; for with
all his acute powers Of " Seeing" "feel
ing" and " anticipating" he has not told
us how we are to avoid war, but by pas
sive obedience and non-resistance, III
truth, abject submission to British ty-
ranny. What would be our situation
under such submission Britain has no
rights on the ocean, but such as are
common 10 all other nations, save Only
the right Of the strongest.> If then We

as you have shewn intrepidity and ccalness in

Great People--as long as you are animated
with this spirit, nothing will be able to with
stand YOU. The cavalry have We'd with the
infantry and artillery---I no longer know
Which part Of the army to give the preference
to. You are all good solaisrs--T These are the
results of ourlabors.
One of the first military PeWers Of Europe,
who lately dared to propose to Us a shameful
capitulation, is annihilated. The forest and
dehles Of Franconia, the Saal and the E.lbe,
which our ferefathers would not have crossed
in seven years, we have crossed in seven days,
and fought in the interval four engagements
and great battle. We have procured at
Potsdam and Berlin the renewn of cur victo-
RES. We have Iaade $4,000 pfisoners--ta-
ken IS stand of their 'coiors, among which
are these of the king of Prussia's guards, 600
pieces of cannon, three fortresses, and up.
