to Being wise and skilful, and moderate, as
the secretary of the treasury states them to
have been, that they have also been honora-
BILE, and liberal, and impartial and if, in adj
dition to this, it be proved, that the bank has
in every instance where it had the ability to
do it, met the wishes of the government, and
to facilitate its views in the security and col
lection of the revenue, it has also established
branches where it must have been obviously

what further confirms me in that opinion,
is, that his guns were not only loaded

The Projected Var
WITH GREAT-DRITAIN.

Our rulers have made frequent and am
pie professions of their impartiality to-
wards the two great belligerents. France
and Great-Britain and to support this
pretension, have charged both with vio-
lating our neutral rights, and affected 70
direct their measures for redress equally
against both. But / have shewn the false
hood of this prcension. The embargo,
particularly. so well coinc.ded with the
views of the French emperor. as to meet
his entire appreciation. His minister the
duke de Galore, in his letter Of Aug. 5,
1910, to General Armstrong. says, So the
Emperor applauded the Embargo" But
without reciting the numerous instances,
which have observed during an attend
ance in congress Tor the last eight years,
but Which it would take too much time to
collect and present in their just form and
coior.-cf the manifest partially of our
rulers in favor of France l assume it as
a notorious fact, demonstrated by their
general course ofconduct. With the null
tiplicd proofs Of such Partially before Me
when / saw our rulers shutting their
eyes to the greatest enormities, to the
most atrocious acts ofpiracy. robbery and
swindiing practised by the Great Emperor
against my fellow citizens while all the
acts Of Great Britain of which they COM
planned were monstrously aggravated and
distorted, in order to alarm and irritate
the people against the only power which
.taL IA !uaan Tic and Suh;ectiOn and slave
,ry to France was led to apprehend it

FELLOW CITIZENS,

FELLOW C1TIzENs,
Having given you correct view of the
Embargo, and exhibited such facts and
circumstances as prove beyond controver-
sy, that it was not recommended by Mr..
Jefferson, and under his influence passed
into law, for the causes he ASST gned,
but really as measure Of cooperation
with the French emperor, in his system
for destroying the commerce and with it
the power Of Great Britain; the subject
next in course is the Non-I Intercourse Law
which succeeded the embargo. But an
exhibition Of this measure, as foolish and
absurd, as to ourselves it was mischiev-
Gus, must be postponed, while present
TO your consideration
