az IMPORTANT IDEA.

A most rational reflection is said to have
fallen from the lips of Federal member of
congress, who was in this city few days since.
Even admitting that the Presidents message
should not hold ont any assurances of an
adjustment Of affairs with France WHY go
to war with her--or why change our atti-
tude as to her-Gt fhis time /? She has given
us species of fliedge. tina, she would take
OF her DEGREES, if Britain would rescind her
orders-Well, Britain has rescinded those
orders as TO the u. S-Let ms then see who
ther France will comply with this pledge !;
let us give her an opportunity to do 1.-THE
interpretation of Congress under such ciroum-
stances would be, in every point of view, i'll.
timed & premature--it would be possibly Ia
ing step which might thwart the negociati-
on 1t might be tying up the hands of the Pre-
sident of the U. s. in the prosecution of a
matter, which might possibly be in favora-
bic train Of adjustment.
The length Of the present session of Con-
gress will materially depend upon the dis.
cussion of war with France -Exertions
may be made 70 press this measure. When
the Essex Junto and the other oppositionists,
shall assemble at Washington, they will hold
caucusses--compare notes--andif they find
their strength great enough to command a
reshecfabte Dote, they will at all events
Cry havock, and let slip the dogs of dis
putation."

and II he shall bear arms against his country, his

Such Is the solemn denuncation now recorded on
this pillar, and agree with Able Richard in the be-
lief of its authenticity, because IL is well known that
existence Of such prohibition, and because it is
tain that this was the boundary between cisaIpne
Gaul and Italy, in the time OF the Romans. II was
therefore natural, that they should pr hibit their
troops and generals from entering in hostile array in

man, who could be diverted from his purpose by a
solemn decree of the Senate, perhaps the liberties of
Rome might have been preserved for ages.
