! The Great Napolco1, my master, sends
me to protect you: will protect you"
But without coming here to protect our
hersons, the Great Napoleon, as zuay, IS
protecting our PROPERTY within his immense
dominions. Declaring war for Us against Eng-
land, having in his opinion no right to declare
war ourselves, his majesty has e ordered that
American vessels, &c. should remain seqaes--
tered.
War, says this horrific note, exists then
in fact between England and the U. States /;
and his majesty considers it as declared from
the day on1which England published her de-
cree" Nov.]
Is this then the first time that his majesty 5
consideration has been mentioned TO gen. Arm m,
strong?
Shall we suffer the Great Napoleon thus to
declare war for us {?
But if,allowing if are degenerate enough
to admit Bonaparte to declare war tor us, the
orders Of England are in themselves just cause
of war, is no. the decree of France, which
one gear after ii zvas hassed brought those Or
ders into the world, also just cause of war:
land is not Mr.. lefferson's derelctlon OF
duty, in not noticing this decree OF France;
which has drawn upon the United States all
their present sufferings Of embargo and de-
structiol of property, JUST GROUND Of
IMPEACHMENT?
While pages Of his message, at the open
ing of the present session OF Congress, were
fl ed with animadversions against the mea-
sures of Great Britain, no other notice was
taken Of the French decree issued on the !st
of November, 1906, on which the retaliauDg
ortier Of the British government, OF the llth
of November, 1907, YVES grounded than bare
ly 70, state that Spain had ADOPTED the decree
Of France
And after remarking on the conduct OF
England and Spain towards the United States,
Mr.. Jefferson, in the said message, had II the
confidence to say" With .hie other nations
of Europe" zskich mass h9vr Deer intended 10
inclu.ie France, as SIZE had not been mention.
ed ".our harmony has been uninterrupted,
g and commerce and friendly intercourse
g have been maintained or their usual foot
{" ing - and this he vcntured to assert TO the
national legislature, in his character Of Chief
Magistrate, and under the knowledge OF the
French decree, which is tne source and origin
Of all the evils we are now suffering tioW
long viii the people OF the United States con-
tinac to be the dupes and victims OF such me-
,aGgement !? REGISTER.
We are now to determine whether We will
maintain our freedom and independence.
Without yielding either to French blan-
dishments or French force, we should at eve
ry hazard honorabiy and satisfactorily settle
our affairs with England o. not settle them at
all and without surrendering an lota OF our
rights to England, we should with moderate
on and dignity resent this most lnsolent at
tempt, Oh the part of France to subdue us.

nit the military bill, REQUIRED to the transact

Der OF the former year, he had occasion to call

that time he had felt a confidence IN him.
asked him, said Mr.. Randolph, the state of
our foreign relations. He answered, that the
powers Of Europe treated us as suited their

Justice. He added, that France would Tot
permit Spain to settle the differences existing
between her andus, unless we would shpulate
for the payment ola sum of money; FRAME

IT. This, Mr.. Randolph said, he had stated
