Mr.. 1acks9n.-Ihere is the highest pro-
liability that Mr.. Jackson not only has his
negotiation in train, but with very fair pros
poets Of efect;ng an adjustment that shall
be honorable and satisfactory to both coun-
tries, for Duane tells hrs readers, that
s Mr.. Jackson is industriously engaged in
doing or trying to do us that is the French
party great deal of mischief
The following paragraph speaks in lam
guaee which cannot be misunderstood.
$. There is now the highest probability,
that the continental powers will make pro-
positions to US, to open their ports to our
commerce, provided that we efectually
show our determination to enforce our
rights on the ocean, as an independent ma
ton. Any provisional arrangement with
he British government, which might tie
up our hands from an immediate acceptance
of such propositions, might therefore be
.:r0ductsOe ofthe mast unfortunate results to
this country"
When the above shall DC translated into
Daane's masters French paper at Paris,
th= TRANSLATOR need scarcely be at any fur
Their trouble than to copy that passage from
Champasny S infamous letter which rous-
ID the Indignation of every American, and
which Duane and Eppes declare contained
nothing bat what was friendly. The con-
t,urntaI powers(he says will make PROPOSE
lions, "pr0Oidei zpe e1ectualls shew our
determination to ehf0rce our rights on the
OCEAN" What is this but to say in other
words, France will have no ncutrals Join
her, unite your force with hers ,and com
Pei Britain to submit, and then, YOU may
become her ally In due order to become her
vassal. dry provisional arrangement
(he continues WIN the British government
v1lCh mi ht tie UP Our hands from an i'm
mediate acceptance Of such proportions
tsaE the tralterous scoundrel might
therefore be productive Of the mos, uofortu
nate results to this country" Whether
this man is to govern Mr.. Madison, and
Whenever ne suspects him Of quitting the
crlse of France, to whip him in, as he used
10 jefferson, renlains-to be seen.
It Dir. Madison can once get out Of the
clutches OF the faction once get clear of
The control OF lord Butte, and once break
away from the Gileses, the Smiths and the
Gailatins, and act the noble part Of an A
naerIcan whose real jeet is the true inter
esss and honor of tie nation, he now,
doub, cot, has an opportunity to render his
country greater service, tran often tails to
The lot Of map. But If instead of this, q
scheme OF mere expedience is to continue to
prevail, whose primary object is the preser
vation of authority to a dominant party.
then he administration of our affairs will
sill be conducted in the usual wavering, I'M
decided, inconsistent manner, So perfectly
copsonant 10 the views Of him whose auvisi- !
bic hagd has SO long and SO fatally directed
our councils. Should such be the case,
risk nothing in saying that IN the condition
into which The country has been degraded
by d faction, Bonaparte only viii be found |
able to open the eyes and correct the errors
Of people whose example have given the !,
enemies offree govern'n mt, greater cause |
of satisfaction than the authors of our liber- |
ties ever gave the friends of freedom.
