aud, am confident, that in the course OF

tout weights and measures. Only a few
days past, sent a servant to a place where

to weigh it; and behold. it fell short four

considerable But, sir, perceive am not
the only sufferer by their deccptiuns. a
neighbor of mine went to town Yesterday
and bot a middling Of bacon, and supposing
he had been taken in, came over to my

lwi.i again mention, why will the Conn

cure set of weights and measures, regu-
lated by the standard, and compel them to
be governed by them? Why will they let

The stroke following the apology : are they
atone TO STRIKE hrst and to reason after
wards! Even when the first coalition was
iormed against proposed reformation in
the French monarchy, imposing as that
conieoeracy then was, paper succeeded pa
per before they made their attack on The
French nation. To be sure, there wa,
then no neutral in Europe, but the Danes.
and yet they were not molestcd Nv this for.
midabie conspiracy of kings against the
progressive Improvement of the human I'm.
derstanding.
But, two things of salutary inference have
occurred In this extraordinary outrage:
First, that Denmark has been attacked IN
state OF profound peace, by sea ana by
land, upon no public testimonials of guilt
or even error OH her part :--aud, secondly,
that TINS government, proverbial fsr IL
good faith, has boldly confiscated all the
British property in her possession. as
far act of reprisal for her property clam
destinely taken, without previous decla-
ration of war. Who will lose most or least
IN this conflict, remains to be seen. But, IS
the present British ministry prevail In this
controversy, it will be because there -
neither strength nor spirit left, either in
England, upon the continent of Eutope, or
IN this country. If nation is to be ruined
because she forms her own commercial re-
gulations, Britannia may rule byland as well
as sea, and all Europe, If not America,
would soon become colony to that naughty
but feeble government.
