W AIMING TO AMERICANS.


At a time when Mr.. Tefcrion,
from fervile dread Of Napoleon,
rot only perGlts in refuGng 10 fettlc
our differences with England, but
even, like mere PREFEcT obeying
the orders Of his matter, feems deter
mined on going to actual war with
that bulwark Of our csuntry-that
only remaining hope Of nations
and, Of courfe, TO form an alliance
with France ; it may nor be amifs,
at this vsry gloomy and portentous
moment, when the public indigna-
ton is alive for Ill. hnilhing Slow
given to Spain, and when we are a.
bout to Be plunged into the fame a.
byfs Of dearu6tion, to give a faint
Description (taken from the mo3 au-
then.ic documents) Of the barbara
ties, rapacities, and cruelties, COM
mitted by the French in thofe coun-
tries which they have entered either
as FRIENDS or foes.
ITALY.
In I7Q6, Bonaparte, at the head
Of a numerous French army, invaded
Italy, declaring to the eeople, that he
came as their friend and their broth
er % deliver them from taxes and
l4very, and pronilng them fafcty
Tor their perlons, tecuyitY FIR their
PROPERTY, refpe0 for their laws,
ard reverence for their religion.
They jiiened, they believed I; they
threw omen their gates, they laid
down their arms, they received the
Gallo Serpent 70 their bofom and
fatal indeed were the effects of their
credul.ty Ills reverence for their
religion he diiplayvd by giving up
al. their places OF worfhip to indis
criminate piunder, and by dc6ling
them with every fpecies Of facrilege /;
his refpeQ for their laws was evin-
ced, not only BY the abrogation Of
thofe laws, but BY the arbitrary en-
torcement of an unconditional fab.
milton to the mandates of himfelf
and his generals : the fecurity which
he Promifed to their property, was
exhibited in enormous contributions,
in the feizure Of all public funds, as
well as thofe Of every charitable
foundation, not excepting fchools,
hofpitals or any other relource Of
the poor, the aged and hclplef8 !;
and as to the Perfons of the unfortu-
nate people, he provided for their
fafetY, by laying the whole country
under the leyerelt military execu-
tiou BY giving up their towns and
villages to FIRE and fword, and BY
exPOGng the inhabitants TO Be pillag-
ed and murdered by his raPacious
and inhuman folders, whom be au-
thorized and even ordered TO lboot
every man that attempted 10 reGlt
them, whatever might be the crimes
il which they were engaged

To the Stockholders of the WalhangtoS'
Bride GombInp.

IN pursuance of an act of Congress, you
are called on by the late commissioners 10 at
tend in person or by proxy. at Washington
the I'd May next, to elect live directors a
Treasurer and Clerk. take the liberty tnro
this medium to offer myself candidate as
your Clerk. The advantage to the Alexan-
drians of the clerk residing in Alexandra, as
the office is to be, kept in Washington, IS OBJ
vious, and no injury can possibly arise from
this arrangement TO the Stockholders IN the
City. 1t will render unnecessary IN case OF
transfers, that the persons conveying or re-
ceiving the conveyance should repair to the
clerks Office in the City to have the needtul
done. True it is, that it may be done by
power of attorney; but the trouble and ex-
pence attendant thereon is an Inconvenience,
independent of the necessity OF an agent to
efecs the transfer; whereas the clerk residing
in Alexandria might be the means OF saving
that expence and trouble by keeping transfer
book there.
The lively interest have taken in the pro-
motion of the Bridge, in which l at present
own in my own name and those OF others, i4o
shares, | ifattersmyself will entitle me to
preference over any that has no interest there
in. ! Shall be content to receive whatever e.
molument the service may be deemed worthy
of, or as low as any competitor that may be
presented for your suffrage.
