FOR THE INTELLIGENcER.

Nj. ALBuRTIs,
The complexion Of the political
world has been changed by Napoleon.
This change, in part, has been beneficial
to mankind. But Napoleon is an ambi-
tioas man. He, however, NAV not be
stimulated by his ambition, or love of
distinction, more than any other man
would DO under the same circumstances.
II is perfectly natural to aspire to distinc-
tion. This principle is indigenous in C.
very human breast. There cannot be a
human being. perfect in body, and intel.
lect, independent of its influence. 1t e.
qually pervades the bosom of Thomas
Jefferson and Napoleon BonaParte.-
The circumstances by which they are
invested are different /; but their preten-
tons to distinction are the sameS and
the influence of their passions under the
same control ofcircumstance and intel
lect, would take the same, direction
Napoleon is advancing with a firm step
to the dominance Of 1he Eastern World.
The accomplishment ofhis views in that
quarter, will enable him to regulate the
political coacerns ofthe continent Of A.
msriea. He will not send an army into
the u. States, nor into any other part Of
the continent; but his ViH will be the
Lauv OF nations, and his DEGREES will in.
form US of our commercial privileges.
In this arrangement he has advanced one
step-Whether he will be permitted to
advance another, is now the question.
The people of the U. States, Sir, are
Influenced mostly by their prospects Of
loss md gain. Their love of accunuia.
ton is pre- dominant. This passion, in
fictitious, in its nature, psrvades the n
ton, and has given to our councils a
sriseriy cast grefection. So Far, howe.
yer, as the present policy Of the govern
ment relatea 10 the people of the United
Seates.Fit is certainly good, but in every
other relation tits AZ certainly bad. The
present soudition of the u. States is pre-
cisely that which best suits the views Of
Napolcon and the present administra.
tors ofthe government, from the direc-
ton they haue given their ambition, pro-
notes those views more successfully,
than armies and fleets could do. lfNa.
poleou succeeds against England, his
success in America will be certain. The
special ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of France, viii
be always a primary consideration but
his views will not be bounded BY national
demarkations. His views, however,
must have location, and this location
viii be SO made and regulated as to cover
and embrace all Europe. He wants
eolanies and commerce.; and it now de-
pepds upon America, whether he shall
coLonise the world. II England is drawn
within the vortex ofNaPbleon's Influence,

Of the earth. The'PeopleIo of this country

In debate on the militia bin, MIR
Nicholas said both England and France
have given US just of war. 1t is
Known to every man in this house and
IN the nation, that England has a force
on our north.-There is reason to be-
heve that France may at any time pos.
sess q country on our South. No man
a tell what will be our situation 70
months hence. No man can foresee
how large a force may hereafter be me-
cessarv. Mr., N. did not believe that
q regular army could be raised adequate
to the possible exigeneies Of the country.
W. must rely on the militia. Mr.. N.
was therefore in favor Of chasing the
militia. and placing our principal depen-
dance on those who are between twenty
q aud twenty six years of age.

MY DEAR SIR, :.
The shadows, clouds and
darkness that obscure the political hori-
zon Of our beloved country, create in
this region of il, doubts and uncertain
ties little less distressing than what We
conceive would be produced by an actu-
al war. What will be the issue! What
will be our fate ? is the anxious inquiry
of the unprotected yeomanry Of this from
tier. W. see (say they) in the province
Immediately in u front, a regular Bril-
fish force, much superior in numbers to
our own. We see exertions making
[and with some s4Scess) to arm and to
organize a militia. W. see and We hear
the agents Of the British government in
the Indian department t~ampering, with
the S~avsges, t. make more horrible the
horrors OF war-And should the battle"
cone-what are the means t tesistance3
A long extended line Of thinI, populated
frontier, protected BY a fort situated ct
an extremity OF the line, whose ,o,tterire
mouldering pickets can scarce Withstand
=" the pelting Of the Pitiless Storm" and
whose real defence exists alone in the
zeal and spiri" Of sixty effective faen.
And these aided BY (perhaps) one hum
dred aud fifty militia, without arms,
ammunition or cloathing, and clogged
BY the weight Of their families, are the
only resistance to be offered to aay. pre-
datory excursions that may fand certain
ly will, ifmeans arc not taken to prevent
it) be made BY, the regular or irregulars
Of upper Canada. True, add they, that
we are assured BY the citizens of our in
terior-that should an incursion of this
kind be made, and ourselves and fami-
lies be destroyed by the Ratchet or the
fame of the savage-that our names
shall be avenged, and that the retaliation
shall be commensurate with our suffer.

Out the means ofprocuring them. VIVA.

-be exposed to the cutting tomahawk
OF the savage, and keeuiy cutting taunts'
Of civilized friends, and with meek and
lowly spirit patiently wait the horrors of
our fate, when 500 armed and discipline
ed men. detached by the gsperai or
state go7ernment--would most effsetu.
ally impose security, and preserve , o our
country, lives devoted to its defence!
An this say they, and more my friend,
might with truth be added. The situa-
tion of these people IS alarming. am
very anxious to hear Of the state Of my
affairs at--and the signs Of Me
