America on The other, are, if ,s0 s'u
says true, ready 10 wresk their wax
upon us: Perhaps, however, po,uab

aud dispense, Our opinion as to III, ma,
ter of dispute with the Americans y.
have before giveo, aud shall now subi1n
a few remarks, on what are ssid,o &C. tie
reports circulated respectingthe dispatches
brought over in the Revenge Gutter. A,
TO Russia, We know not as yet wha; NAV
be the nature of the grievance Of which
she complains, and therefore can say bo,
little at present on tina, subject. We ,rus,
ne have sufficiently shewn, tia. the prin.
ciple on which we have made an attemp, 10
get the Danish navy into our possession,
even whether it is just or nniust, is. 90.
one which at all extends to the uavies Of
other continental powers; and therefore
Rus ia can have no occasion TO take q.
larm on that account. We allow, 10 The
fullest extent, her adequacy to detepd her
owe neutrality against the demands Of
France, but deprecate cad aec,y, in The
strongest manner, the temeti,y Of throw.
ing away that neusrality, SO dearly pur.
chased BY the treaty of Tilsit. We would
just ask this plain question Would Rus.
sia have renewed the war against Frauoe,
supposing Bonapar,e, ins,ead Of England,
had seized the Danish navy? And ino',
VIVA, RICH, she Can have TO prevent Cur en-
envy from sakiog those measures, for our
preservation, which she would not have
prevented our enemy from taking, for cur
distractions? We eaa ouly suppose our
question to be answered in the negative
the contrary opinion, namely. that the
emperor Alexander would so have made
var upon Bocapartc, is too ex;ra9a5aut,o
be entertained for momen.. And We
think we are not asking toe much Of our
late ally, when We only demaod strict M
par,iallty in The ssar be;weenus and France.

Russians. il is said, hiss the Eoghsh wnea-
ever they nee, them in the streets OF d.
Petersburg. Perhaps the unfortunate con.
clusion of the last war may be the ocea'
sion of any hostile manifestation en- the
part Of the Russian populacr, 10 winch 'ae
government has co concern. II us, We
can only say tina. they have a, least IS
great occasion to be angry with themselves
for being beaten. as with ns tor being USE
less allies to them when they were SO
beaten. yBn. perhaps they may suppose,
that the late war on the continent woa'a
not have had so disastrous a term'ps''o"
If we had been more active In the coa's'ou
cause.
We allow it, If they will have it som
the fullest extent. aud whss is that but say
ing in other words, that Russia IS oo'a
match for France without the assistance g
England. Where thenis the prudence ..
Russia's uniting with France to subJoSa:.
or even weaken Eogland? Does not 'a''
very argument prove thar Russia IS s''oas
ia our strength! The emperor OF kuss s;'
may be we'll assured. that IN allowing -,
TO maintain his independents :.
we have accused him of the greatest e'' u,
tina, can possibly exist 10 the eyes o. 'os'
man who governs France. Such comp q *.

could once removethe barrier that we nav a,s
