The leaders of the democratic party
are very much enraged when they are
told of their Partiality to France and
their subserviency to Bonaparte and
their constant attempts to palliate and
Justify his tyrannical and oppressive
conduct towards the citizens and prop.
erty Of the u. States.
IF Bonaparte's vessels of war and
privateers plumber, burn and sink our
vessels, they say d is right. If he i'm.
prisons our citizens, it is right. After
all this, our great men of the demo.
party deny their being the spologists
or Partizans Of the grand Emperor, or
of his policy-Whilst every improper
act on the part of Britain is pronounced
as ust cause of war. 1t is owing to the
countenance these principles aud con-
duct receive from our chief rulers,
that our affairs are not adjusted with
both countries.
The democrats have laboured album
dainty to make the public believe that
the English burnt the American YES
sells which were driven on shore in Ca
dlz bay in the gale of the 4:h of March.
The cause Of Democracy and Bona
parte being one, they are bound to de-
fend and Justify the conduct Of their
King, and to constantly inculcate the
belief on the public that their grand
Emperor can do no wrong.
With this view they deny his outra-
ges but with what truth, let the Ger
tficates of Messrs. GoUett and Fowler,
published in the preceding page, show.

English government will insist on the
interests Of king Ferdinand Of Spain,
and the queen of Portugal being inclu-

but ifi. had ieen found, he thought it i'm
proper and impolitic for this house to no.
tice it and lift we're necessary to notice
it, he was ofopinion that the sotice taken
OF in the resolutions was improper: He
likewise stated that if Mr.. jackson had in
suited Mr.. Smith, yet he thought his apo
logv by Mr.. Oakley, was sufficient and
ought to have been received.
Mr.. Findley spoke few words in favor
of the resolutions, which we could not dis.
tinc.ly understand. ..

they nave AIKEN the dispositions Of the he-
norabls James Turner, a Senator Of the U.
States, and of MIR. Samuel Sprigg, which
DISPOSITIONS they beg leave to report to the
house.
From these dispositions it was established
to the satisfactory belief of your committee,
that Mr. L A. Coles, without any imne.
diate previous alsereation or provocasion,
did assault and strike 4 member Of this
house, within the walls of the aorth wing
of the Capitol that this CT vas done on
Monday the 27th ult about enc o'clock,
P. M. and after this house had adjourned
over to the following day.
THAT from the assertions Of Mr.. Cota
and from the actual admission Of the mem..
Der assaulted, your COMMITTEES were sasu.
fed that the provocation or supposed pro..
vocation which occasioned the attack, lid
not arise from any thing said or done by the
member Of this house in the ful6lment of
his duties as a repre- sentative in the Con.
gress of the United States. ,.. U.s.
Your Committee are of opinion that :his
latter circumstance may be received in ex-
tenuation, but cannot be admitted in iustifi.
cation of the act done BY Mr.. Coles--And
from all the circumstances Of the case they
are Of opinion that the said assault and vio-
lence offered to the member was breach of
the privileges Of this house.
Your committee further report, that they
have considered the letter of Mr.. Coles to
the Speaker of this house, together with
another letter from Mr.. Coles addressed to
the chairman of your committee (Which
they also beg leave tolreport to the house
thar these two letters, in the opinion of your
committee do contain acknowledgements
and apologies on the occasion which ought
to be admitted as satisfactory to the house.
They therefore recommend the following

A DECLARATION.

It is known:to the world with how much
fidelity The good people of this territory
have professvd and maintained allegiance TO
their legitimate sovereign while any hope
remained Of receiving from him protection
for their property and lives Without
max ine any unnecessary innovation in the
established principles OF the gosernment
which had heretofore protected as. This
compact (which was entered into with good
faith on our part, will forever remain an
honorable testimony Of our upright intcn-
tons md involsble heislHy to our king &.
parent country, while SO much as shadow
Of legitimate authority remained to be eS.
ercised over Us. We sought only speedy
remedy for such evils as seemed 10 endan>
ger our existence and prosperity, and were
encouraged by our governor with solemn
promises Of assistance and o.operatoa:--
But those measures which were intended
for cur preservation, he has endeavortd to
pervert into an Engine of destruction by en.
couraging, in the mos, pe,fdious manner,
the violation ot ordinances sanctioned and
established by himself as the law of the
land.
Being thus left without any hope Of pro-
lection from the mother country, BY ma
Sistrate whose duty 1T was to have provid-
ed Tor the safety and tranquility ofthe peo-
pie & government conamittvd to his charge,
and exposed to all the evils Of state of a.
narchy, which we have so long endeayored
to avert; it becomes Our duty to provide
tor our security as a free and independent
state, absoived from all allegiance to a go
yernmcnt which no longer protects us.
We. therefore, the representatives a.
foresald, appealing to the Supreme ruler of
tho world for the rectitude ofour Intentions,
