a nd 50 also had Spain and Holland--all
united together against England.
What have become of their fleets =
Those of Spain, which had escaped de-
struction, are now helpers Of the Eng
lish those Of France and Holland are in
a manner annihiIated; while the fleets OF
England are at this:time much greater in
number and power than. at any former Pc
Rod, or than any nation else ever had
since the world began. All this does not
look as though England would fall speed
lily.
Indeed Bonaparte himself begins to
think it will be work Of time, as well AS
of some difficulty, to conquer England
He lowers his tone Of late, and speaks
'npon this subject with feint voice. In
Ris speech Of March last to the council of
commerce, he holds forth encouragement
that he will bring down England as soon
as he shall be able to build, arm d man
400 sail of the line. This, however is a
vast job, and we do believe that his friends
will scarcely live to see it accomplished,
how devontly soever they may wish it.
Query.-If Bonaparte has lost, in spite
of him, ,all his fleets and those OF his al
lies in eleven years, how many years will
it take him to build, arm and man fleets
sufficiently numerous & powerful to con-
quer the British navy?

the west end of the island of st. Michael
he saw volcano casting up from the sea,
a large column of smoke. The volcano
appeared to be about four miles from The

The ship General Eaton, taken in De-
cember last, under the Berlin decree, is
still detained in France, under the con-
tinued execution of that edict, SO far as
regards detention.
We repeat again, and all the democrats
of intelligence know it to be true, that
the release of American trading vessels in
France is no evidence Of the repeal of the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES. To prove
their repeal, those who affect to believe it,
should shew that American vessels bound
to England, have been met by French
cruisers, and allowed freely to pass
that vessels carried into France under
those DEGREES have been restored. This
and this only would be evidence in point !;
but honor requires we should go further,
we ought to insist on counter decree, as
an equivalent for the proclamation. Is
Napoleon better than our President, that
we should do that for him, which he will
not do for US

Londonderry papers to the Goth of May,

tains translation of the address of Napo-

agreeing in substance, with the transIa-
ton we sometime since published in the
Repertory, which some of the slaves and
advocates of his Imperial Majesty in this
country, chose to treat as Boston fabri-
cation.
An article states that great numbers of
those who had been concerned in recent

1t is plainly to be seen by the efforts
and subterfuges to which the high autho-
rity committed, has most sneakingly and
pitifully descended, that the tale of Ro-
bert Smith, late secretary of state, is too
tough for digestiOn--it is too true for
confutation by any means Of which it is
possessed.
Finding that the Tame answer to his
pamphlet, published in the National In
telligencer, has rather strengthened Mr..
Smiths assertions of unwarrantable lean
ing towards France, and even culpable
WITHHOLDING OF THE PROPER
FACTS FROM CONGRESS, relative to
the conduct of that power towards the u.
States; we have now, as tub thrown out
to the whale, story published by man
who is said to be employed as clerk in
the department of state, that he, and not
r. Smith, wrote the letters alluded to in
his pamphlet-one of which was to obtain
from under the signature of the French
minister, sufficient information, from an
authentic source, of the views and acts of
France relative to the United States.-
Now, sir, all this debasement of that high
authority, to the disgrace Of our country,
is only base attempt to draw the atten-
ton of our fellow citizens from the SO.
rious charge which Mr.. Smith, in the
pamphlet alluded to, brings against our
executive, that HE WOULD NOT SUI
FER THE LETTER in QUESTION
TO BE SENT TO THE FRENCH
MINISTER. Fer, what is it to you or
/, my fellow citizens, by whom that letter
was written, whether by Robert smithor
his clerk, by his assent or authority, when
it is plain to us all, that the object was a
correct one, and that had it been allowed
to have been sent, congress would have
had the proper information to have ena-
bled them to act for the true interest Of
the country, which they could not (pes.
sessing the answer that letter required
have relinquished.
sincerely hope that my fellow citizens
will not suffer the SHADOW to lead them
astray from the SUBSTANCE. The
charge against Madison is serious one,
and nothing but strong evidence should
lead US to lose sight of his conduct in
|. that instance for one moment. We have
Robert Smiths pamphlet under his proper
signature, which is certainly good until
the contrary be proved.
