ext ana not much deceived, the spirit Of
! the nation up. Every member, with whom
1-have convt"scd, is far strong and efficient
Ineasnres.-Ihe s"fy question with the true
hearted members, those who love their COM
try It's liberties and independence, is, h&SJ
we snail aVengc the insults and outrages Of
tered us by the Belligerents Of Europe. Nor
intercourse viii be the first step taken, ard
preparation for yVar will be ulaeie. The
most intelligent members, with whom have
con'erSed, are of opinion, that we Shall be at
7rat with England, if not France before the
middle of March.
&c John Randolph yesterday made Speech.
On that mine enemy wonid" mako
Speech.-As far as he can, he has injured 81
dsSraced his country. The able Report OF
the Committee was before the House He
rose, and 10 he makes a Speech on our Fo-
reign Relations, and the far greater part of
his time was taken up in abusing Mr. Mn
olson, On the ground of his alledged hostiii-
~ To the State Sovereigntes although The
retutatioF is given to every word he uttered.
by Mr.. MS Report, when in the Virginia
Legislature, on that subject, and by the De-
Dates wh'ch followed Immediately after the
General Convention, in the Convention of
Virginia
MIR R has done every thing in mis- power
TO distract the Councils of she nation, and to
destroy the necessary confidence in our rulers,
lie speaks contemptuousy of our resou ccs
as a, nation, and falsely, Of our want of Spi-
| ut and charaCeer to redress our wrongs--
! lie d'sgusts every American heart, and de-
lights every spy and partisan of Great Bri-
tain. When 1t is known that he is to speak,
the Galleries are crouded with English.ncn
and Pseudo-hmcricans.
