In frequently repeating the itory
of the cruelty of the Britiih attack
upon that city the democrats remem-
Der to forget many incidents connec-
ted with it. 1t is alto little remar-
kable, that thofe who never ceafe
their doleful ditties over the Danes,
have no fympathy for their own
countrymen, whom thofe Danes
have lince as treacherou1y and un-
expeetedly plundered as they could
be by Great Britain. How mary
American merchants aud feamen
have loft their all by the piratical and
unprovoked robbery of the Danes !!
Yes the panders of Napoleon are f.
lent about it. Every thing is excu-
fable which can be inflicted by his
corrupted vafTals. But if they are
callous to the injuries we receive
ourfelves, wha: real compailion can
they have for foreigners
Was the attack upon Copenhagen
in any refpea as deceitful OF cruel as
that by the French upon Lisbon or
Madrid How many Spaniards were
ilaughtered in the Maf1acre of Mad
rid, mitigated lat year by the blood
hound Murat ! How many men,
women and children were butchered
and raviihed by the "Lamb like"
Junot in Portugal What greater
atrocity is there in carrying off a feet
by force from Copenhagen, than
itealing the crowns of Spain and
Portugal and the whole Royal fami.
ly Of the former. But you do not
hear fyllable of complaint from the
French faction refpeeting the injuf-
.ice of theie acts. Their feeling of
humanity are not attuned to fuch
fuferings.-Not tear, nor a.groan
for the fate of thofe whom French
perhdy and cruelty have inundated
by thouiands, for the ruthlefs ambi-
ton of an uplfart and WORTHLESS fam
lily from the contemplate liland of
Corfca.
If We may credit the Britifh, the
caufe of feizing the Daniih fleet was
well grounded apprehension, that
il would fall into the hands of the
French. Since therefore nature her
felt confecrates the right of felt de-
fence, the appropriation of an inltru-
ment of deitruaive ufe, to prevent
your enemy from anticipating you,
is, upon abRrad principles, jultifa-
bic. What information Great Bril-
tain poiefed, which induced her to
wrelt the Daniih fleet from its ow-
ners, the world has never been given
to know. But gentleman, now in
Baltimore and who lately had peca-
liar means of information in Europe.
"a gentleman, equally credible in
the eftimation Of democrats, ahrres
that fecret part of the treaty of Ill

lCOnciaaed from our !asi.l

The British government presuning, as
have before remarked, that our non-inter-
curse would be reinstatcd, will, tits prob.
able, make some calculation to meet the
situation of things in the way most likely to
produce happy result. They must, fan
cy, be convinced that this iuctuaiing course
of measures, this OFT and on system of poll.
ticks, or rather no system. which has been
borne a long time already with wonderful
patience, will not much longer give salts
faction to great and enterprising people.
IT'S high time something more efficient
was done. Names and party distinctions
will ere long he lost in the common cause
# we are never to have things settled
Hence l am led to believe that nothing
more wise could saye been adopted at this
time than The revival oil the non.intercourse.
Let England come forward, (for IT'S their
turn TO make the advaucc) and profier in
disputsble pledges Of her anity aud friend
ship--let her willingly adopt course OF ne
gotiation that shall produce something de-
finitive TO guarantee permanent commerce
with her, aud our Cabinet will, presume,
close with it promptly. England, l think
will do this her interest pleads most elo-
quently for it =: and, while our interest also
pleads for is. Mr.. Madison, trust, will as
President Of the United States, do justice
and fear not
Cne.othar reason why l belieye an accom-.
mediation with England can be accomplish
ed at this time with as Little difficulty as
for many months heretofore is, that, fam
viewing the non-in,ercourse acts of March
and June, find that British armed vessels
are now admitted into our waters and the
old proclamation against them. and the old
non.imporlation act, having been swallowed
up by the act of March LIST, it requires only

TT is propensity of human nature, to be
dazzled by the splendour of appearances.
Gl;t,ering ,riHcs viii charm the mind Of the
giddy wording while Virtue, in her mod
est tire, and unosteniatoas merit, will be
suffered to pass UNDECIDED.
In the most noble stations, and among
those who stand high in their country's
honours," such is the degeneracy of the
present age, that specious outside will do
more for man, than the most rigid, Spar
tanlike virtue. Even the ministers of reli-
gion, have, in some cases, basely descend
ed from their ancient dignity, corrupted
the word of God to suit the corrupt tastes
OF their hearers, and have seemed more de.
lighted with the appearance Of well regu-
lated formal society, however they might
feel at heart, than with the more ,.'lbstan-
tial part of the life and power of religion in
the souls of their flock. In the middle and
lower ranks of life, this truth is more APP
parent. Hear but the observations made at
tea psrty in country village, on the stran-
ger who last arrived IN town, and it will af.
ford abundant proof, that the appearance is
thought of more consequence than intrinsic
worth. Give but just seen the man." SAYS
one, " but he looks very we'll" lie dress
SEES WE'LL" says another. His appearance
is quite genteel," says a third. Remarks
like these are generally all that are made.
Not a word is said about the propriety of
inqufing into the correctness of his princi-
Piles before he is noticed. No one inquiries
whether he is even morally honest but if
his clothes are Of the fashionable cut, & he
has sufficient impudence to swagger about
the streets, it seems enough to recommend
him to public notice. Thus tits that peo-
pie "judge according to the appearance,
and not righteous judgment" But let those
who are urskilled in the wiles of the world
beware of trusting appearances only, and
while they would avoid being ensnared by
glittering decorations, let them also avoid
with equal solicitadc the other extreme in
to which the sapient inhabitants of the re-
nowned city of Gotham fell, who rejected
one of the most celebrated philosophers of
his time, merely because he wore red bree.
ches, and tied his horse to "a post.
