An ingenious writer in the u 5. Gazette,

our Administration, in their conduct to-
wards foreign nations, remarks -
II is said, that when Napoleon has
brought to his feet all the rest Of the
world, he will be contented to allow US
to remain free and independent. If
this were the case we should only be a
tenant at will Of our liberties, and must
expect togive up the possession whenev-
er it suited our landlord 10 require the
surrender. But we are told that he
will not have wish to interfere with
Us, that he will always be so reasonable,
that he will never ask of Us any thing,
that Will be inconsistent, with our hon
or AID safety 10 perform. We too, no
doubt shall be SO wise and so Just as 70
give him no occasion Of offence, WHY
this will be the blessed Millennium i'll
Sell, which has been 50 long predicted,
the Lion and the Lamb lying down to-
gether. Then Bonaparte must be the
