KINGS PROCLAMATION.

= we give IN this days Patriot, Gin the con-
tinuation OF the late president .dddms's dis
cussion ofthe king proclamation, as follows, !
the reports of Cor6et's case in .admiraltv,
once socelebrated in New ENGLAND for the
triumph it afforded to liberty and law over
unPrincipled oppression. With proud salts
faction we present to the view of our country
the barrier to royal usurpation. by which.
while we were the subjects of Great Britain,
the humblest tar might stand secure and de-
fy the man, whether admiral, captain, lieu
tenant, or boatswain, who attempted, under
pretence of the kings authority, to infringe
upon his liberty. The principles are eter-
nal, and their discussicnis not i'll timed. If
we understand the jargon of would be. called
wings OF the present times, the king Of En-
gland will pcrsevere in his proclamation and
insist on the right Of exercising over us ty-
rany which he could not, and dared not, to
exercise while we were his subjects. To
those who represent our sovereignty, and
are responsible for the honor of our ndepen
dence; we protest against every cempro-
mise with the pretended sovereign of the o.
cean, which shall in pair the rights and inn
munities which our citizens enjoyed under
the laws of England. Bosf. Par.

was the cause OF the pIo(ractlon OF the ne

good, and certainly is an acquisition of
some value TO the French--but II, as is BY
some believed, Austria has conceded even
her capital, It is difficult to account for a
comparatively inferior object having re-
tarded the conclusion of the arrangement.
We doubt the fact and we forbear to SKATE
the reports on the subject Of the great ex
tent Of territory ceded by Austria, as we
really spprehend the truth to be unknown,
consequently what Is asserted, may be
deemed mere conjecture. The renuncia-

the Duke Of Portland, as Prime Minister,
Mr.. Canning has resigned and is succeeded

other Changes are spoken OF, among whom
is Lord Grenville.
We also find in a paper of the 14th Of

message, with accompanying docu-
ments, 0in DC asnt 20 both Houees to-
day likewise.
g Yon may state to your readers
with confidence, that we have nothing
to expect, under present aspects, from
either France or England, in an AMIGA
BILE way. G. Britain has deliberately
resolved never to abandon the princi-
pie and practice Gin one shape or o.

France will not retract word of her
DEGREES until Great Britain sets the ex-
ample. Thus, sir, the United States
have to cope with two buliies, who
are sticking at the point of villainous
honor, of Who shall give in first !? or,
WHO shall hold cut longest?
There is, as you will soon see,
extremely iudicrous in the
canting (for | can call it nothing else)
of the French and English ministry,
in replying to the oYertures of the u
nited States. Bonaparte says ne is
fighting for the freedom Of the seas,
and the British government asserts
that Great britain is fighting for the
Independence of nations. Now, al
though the freedom of the one and the
independence of the other are things |
extremely desirable, yet it is very GER
tain, if the British had an army suii.
cient to subjugate the world, they
would Instantly do it and, if Bonapar-
te had navy equal to the perform.
ance, he would tyrannize on the ocean
as much as Great Britain. The mis-
fortune of 1t is, that let the ulterior
views of the belligerents be what they
may, their present mode of warfare
goes directly to crush the indepen-
dence of nations and to exclude all
liberty of commerce on the seas. Be-
naparte admits the principle of the
freedom of the seas because he has
lew ships, and John Bull admits that
nations oaght to be independent be-
cause he has few soldiers and there
ends the whole story. They both make
a virtue of necessity.
+" cannot perceive how any Anne.
-ican can suffer himself to be, at this
.lme OF day, the dupe of the one or
he other Of the warning powers. If
France beats Great Britain, then one
'ortion Of our citizens rejoice, not be-
:asuse they are FRENCH partizans, but
because they believe it will tend to
stumble England and make her JUS.
md if England gains victory over i
France another portion of our citizens
'xuIt, not, perhaps, because they wish
hat Great Britain should subdue
