conceal the object of the amendment; it al
tered the nature of the resolution essentially.
Mr. Taylor remarked, that the amend

| selves, instead of declaring that we would
| resist foreign agst essions.

barge, said he had prophesied every thing
that had happened. and had received sort of
promise that itwould now be repealed, from

There is no reason to credit the inlorma-
ton, given under the New York head, Of
France having declared war against the u.
States. SO far as it relies for credibility on
any thing Official received by our govern
nent, 1t is entirely disproved, as no Informal
ton to this effect has, we understand been
received. The rumor is supposed to have
originated from the American consul at
Liverpool having dispatched boat with
a letter from Mr.. Piackney for the secreta-
~ of state received BY him after the sailing
OF the Allnoraac.

TWAS with the greatest pleasure we laid
before our readers the correct and ligniiied
resolutions entered into by the federal re-
publcans of Richmond asd Marchester in
Virginia, which, will be found - our paper
of Saturday. When We consider the recu-
liar situation which the federalists stand in,
in Virginia, under The oppressive operation
of the general ticket law we accord to
them. oar cordial Communications tor the
course they have determined to pursue, to
pive all possible importance 70 their force.
It is undc}btellya cause for much future
regret for the people Of America, that the
friends Of col. lsEunfoe had not, III justice to
his sentiments, afforded the federalists thro'
out the union more early opportunity OF
approaching his opinions upon the present
unhappy state OF the nation. The federal
lists have wished for no change from party
Views, nor have they spoken OF their neces-
sitics BIZ. under the pressure OF greatnation-
al slltTgtrance. They have risen, as 1t were
bv az unanimous impulse, to oppose the
dire expressions Of awcak puslilaninnous and
tvrannlical administrator, without any re-
gard to calculations Of their numbers or
their power. They were sensible the weight
Of administration would be employed to
suppress them vet they knew it was
their drtv to Put every thing at hazard to
save their country from degradation and
ruin. They generally foresaw that the
prevailing policy CT the administration
in regard to our foreign relations, would
produce sohism among the republicans OF
the union, because this direlectlon had been
manifested for some time in the house OF re-
prcscntativcs.s After the disgusting sequel
OF the Bradlean caucus, the friends OF Col.
Monroe, who has certainly been grossly
1nisused by his Guondon patron, duly con-
sidering the lamenta5le stat intoe which the
prospects Of their country has been brought
by TIE embargo and non-inportation mea-
sures, aware themselves Of his opin;onswhich
point to objects very different to those now
exhibited through the country, did mani
fest desire to elevate this gentleman to the
chair of state. Theii. first introduction,
however. of colonel Monroe as candidate
for the presidency, was SO little understood
bv the federalists, that they who were per-
sonally acquainted with him, and who en-
tc,tained ahigh respect for his private vir-
tues and his public worth, wese nevertheless
Kent IN Ignorance OF his impressions as to
the commercial interests OF America. They
onlv hoped he was not inimieal to commerce,
because he had with prudence, foresight &
the soundest Judgment concluded COM
mercial treaty with G. Britain, which the
president did not choose to have adopted.
But this was short of the duty col. Monroe's
friends owed to him and to the nation. Ihey
