vernment had secret advice of this plot,
and sent in troops by all quarters, with
the pretext Of an attack against Algiers

that the immense property he has in the

To tontl,u'e, sir, lam NOT sensible of
any necessity for the extraordinary inter-
ference of the commercial states to con-
troll the general councils Of the n ation-If
any interference could at this critical ex-
treinity Of our affairs have a kindly effect
upon our common welfare, it would be
an interference to promote union and not
division-to urge mutual confidence, and
not universal distrust-to strengthen the
arm and not to relax the sinews o. The ma
ton. Our suffsTings and our dangers,
though differing perhaps in danger, are
universal in extent. As their cause are
justly chargeable, 50 their removal is
dependent not upon ourselves, but upon
others. But while the spirit Of indtben.
dsnee shall continue to beat in unison
With the pulses of the nation, no danger
viii be truly formidable-Our duties are,
10 prepare with concerted Energy, for
those, which threaten us, to meet them
without dismay, and to rely for their is
sue upon Heaven.

It hardly possible for human force to res.
