A SKETCH


Copenhagen has fallen; and the arrogance
OF Britain will be elevated in proportion :;
so 1t was at the landing in Cuiberoon on
the landing at Toulon; on the landing Mt
Ostend on the landing ut the Helder on
the landing in Egypt; on the landing in Ca
tahria; on the landing in buenos Avres :;
but what foHo7ved all these landings? An
answer is not necessary the Danes are
Vanquished for the moment, and lonls 10 the
consequences Russian army enters Swe-
den, and French army enters Holstein
and !utland, and the moment a severe win
ter sets in--my lord Cathcart, ike my lord
Hood, like m" demi-l0rd Popham, like nv
lord duke ct York and like my gen. Fra
ser at Rozetta ard my gen. Moore, and
my generals iYhifiocte and .4rchdmootu-
like the thief in tho Scots story, who being
IN another mans house, and asked where he
was G2lnS cOollv replicd-he was going
book. The lord Cathcart's Prussian eiiu.
cation viii have tanght him, as it taught
sir Guy Carlton in our revolution, the art
crretrrcf'Ug by -iigft-nnd if lord Cath.
cart escapes in the same way, he may thank
God lie has got book.
But G Britain has published declara-
ton and Ibis new paper is only a COM
ment upon the proclamation thar preceded
the landing NJ Copenhagen, the snn Of
which is; there shall 6r no ueutralifu
rT'rrv nation Mati9 no. fer ENGLAND IL a.
gaiaSt h"T u is adore ,sed ONLY TO Rus STA
and tho u. States; for no other power is
now lett IN the two continents with a dis
cretionary nr self regulating power.
There is some trash in the English pa
pcrs, which ,etravs Itself by its ignorance
but there is much insnIcnce, which be-
trays the dispositions and the desperate ST.
tuation Of the government.
The English refuse any satisfaction for
the murders and outrage on the Chesa-
lake.
They refuse to give up our impressed
citizens
They declare that our neutral shirs Shall
not 80 into any port OF the European con-
tirrn;.
They declare we shall not go into any
port OF any foreign colony.
They do nc. abandon therieht Of search
on any species of ship.
And what more they can do, excepting
sending feet TO cruize on our coasts an
army to occupy Florida, which they GER
tainlv VIII do; and as we firmly believe
the expedition. OF 20,O0 men is intended to
do.
VIVA. more they can 30, beside an at
tack from Canada, and n disturbance hv
the Indians; we arc not competent to per-
ceiye.
This, however, the American people are
62"nd 70 40 IN time--to look round and
noe their enc mics and their frientls--be-
cause the Engli>h government calculatcs
rand oS.r government 10 zUeR G;1hrf5ed at
IH)-;he British Government calculates
n9on large 6oay Of eoriinhtion in the u.
States.
We have constantly called upon the poo
| pie to hrtherr, but they, like the sheep in
the fable, seem to believe the 7volues zUiH
n@pcr cowc--this would be well enough, if
the fold were not daily plundered, and the
v2lUeS were not already thick among us.
