In commercial ASPECT, France and Eng

latter to AN infinitely more warlike attitude
than that Of the former The outrage upon
our national flag, had il been avowcd by the
British government, was good cause of war.
For more than two years that great indignity
has remained uuatoned and every PROPOSE
ton to make reparation, except the one so
scandalousIy disavowcd after the completion,
has been attended with some demand that has
aggravated the insult. France is not so tanei-
BILE to our force as Great Britain. Shall we
fight both The choice between them.
would, indeed, be difficult But if we Go
strike, let us strike where we can be felt

out more expeuce and more tlnoe, than they
think themselves able TO bestow. But thu
time 7viN come, the time must come, when
the people Of this country viii find it ncces-

In the expenditure Of their money.
Let ,nsm then begin by examining the
above statement; they may be assured they

of the committee, not SO much on account
of the magnitude OF the sum obtained, as
for the made and manner, in which it WAS

of the transaction amongst honest and no
norable men. The people Of the u. States
who do not wilfuily shut their eyes against
the light Of truth, may see and be satisfied,

their arms, and quietly suffer their pockets
to be thus robbed and pluudered, that the
commander of their armies 'may riot in
the spoil" and ride in state" they are
only lit to be the slaves ola military dss-
