ADDRESS
To THE PscpLE OF THE UNITED STATES
No. VII.
FELLOW CITIZENS,

SOME unexpected avocatio:s have pre-
vented 50 early continuation OF my address
es as had contemplated. ! now resume inc
consideration of the subjects which proposed
10 discuss. IN ny second lumber IN S''uiS
the most prominent, | glanced at the eEils
With .wh;eh for some wears our country has
been afflicted evils from which you have
long been amused with hopes of relief; but
which remain urabatcdi or rather have pe-
come more aggravated. Are they remedl-
less trust not: fer the remedy is myour
own hands. But to apply it with effect, you
must know their cause. TO this also have
adyerted; viewing those evils as originating
chiefly in the unprincip!ed ambition OF lie"
men, with Mr.. Jefferson at their head. It IS
necessary THAI YOU should understood his cha
racter, in order rightly to estimate his public
measures, into an appreciation OF which great
portion of the citizens of the U..ited States
have been beguiled.

Washington, July IS.
The Baltimore American is proceeding
in the reply to the Intelligeneer's Review
These Essays are attributed to Robert
Smith. He contends that Mr.. Madison
had no authority under the law Of Con-
sress, to tissue his Proclamation but
upon satisfactory evidence OF the fact
that the revocation had actually taken
place." This, he says, was the letter and
spirit of the law; yet Mr.. Madison acted
in direct opposition to it: and what's still
more surprizing, the Non-Intercourse laws
afterwards passed, was bottomed ON the
Proclamation Here is management and
folly, with vengeance! What sort OF an
opinion must be entertained of the Amerl-
can Congress And although, continues
this writer, I" Mr.. Madison had solemnly
declared to the French government and
to the world, that "a satisfactory prcvi-
" for restoring the property lately sur

" stance Of the French government must

I" edicts, 1cith q uie1c to nGn-intercourse
8: 7cith Great Britain" Yet without any
such PROFESSIONALLY. without even pro-
mise or assurance of any provision what
ever of the kind, Mr.. Madison did, by a
formal message, deliberately recommend,
and with effect, the passing Ola law "zcith
s. q r;c1c to nOn-interconrSe Tith Great
IS Britain."-lf any man wants further
proof Of the Presidents consistency and
imparliaIity, he must be sceptical indeed !!
One of Robert Smiths defenders in the
Baltimore Wing proposes an amendment
to the constitution providing that no man
shall be elected President for two terms
in succession. This is always the case
with inconsiderate politicians: they either
cannot or will not distinguish between a
defective constitution and bad adminis
tralion and the faults of the one are at
| tributed to the other. The constitution
has been sufficiently tempered with al
ready. Our great dcsideratum is, set
of enlightened and patriotic men to ad-
minister the government.

Fo'eigm Intelligence.
LONDON, MAY 1a.

Yesterday letters were received, via.
Yarmouth, from the Baltic announcing
the arrival of Sir James Saumarez with
the British squadron in that sea. The
inhabitants of Sweden and, Denmark. tho
prepared for this event, appear to have
caught the alarm, and been apprehensive
of an attack. Immediately on our squa-
dron anchoring off Gottenburg, count
Won Essen, the Governor, directed the
batteries to be manned, the troops to line
the coast, and every attempt at landing
to be repelled: measures were also taken
to guard the ships of war at Carlscrona,
and the cargoes of the detained vessels
in that port ordered to be landed, and Gar
ried into the interior. Bernadotte was to
quit Stockholm on the 9Th, to make tour,
of the coast and was expected to visit
Gottenburg before his return. The troops
were marching from the interior towards
the principal places on the coast. =,
tits believed by the inhabitants both Of
Denmark and Sweden, that our fleet has
a great military force on board besides
$1,000 stand Of arms.
A letter from Koningsburg echoes the
reports received during the week from
the Russian capital, on the subject of ap-
preaching war with France, with this inn
portant addition, that the Russian army
in Poland. was 10000 strong. besides :
corps of reserve, comprizing 10000 men.
The enemy have four sail Of the line
ready for sea at L'Grient. They are the
AIarengo, Veteran, Eylau, and Guilemar.
They had been manned in various ways,
particularly from the seamen landed at
Morlaix from the Mauritius. Brest is
supposed to be their destination.
The account of our fleet having entered
the Ealtic, we understand is premature !;
SirJ. Saumarez had not proceeded Tar.

mopethan half the force destined TO act
in that sea was collected at the beginning
of this month. s @f~S

sury department, Mr.. Madison again call.
ed upon me and requested me to take the
station Of the department of state and at,
the same time, he communicated to me
the circumstances, that had rendered. this
change in his administration necessary;
which, as they are not at all connected
with the design Of this address, it would
be improper here to reeite.
However unnecessary it may appear to
those who know me, deem it proper on
this occasion to declare, that at no time
did /, nor, as ami well assured, did any
relation, or other friend of mine, give or
convey directly to Mr.. Madison, or indi-
rectly to him, through any other person,
in any manner or form, the slightest init
nation, that wished to be either secreta-
ry ofthe treasury or secretary ofstate.
Many despicable tales, as have since
understood, were last winter covertly con-
veyed to Mr.. Madison by certain AFFECT,
designing sycophants, with view not On
ly to prejudice, but to alarm his mind
and among others, one that the vice-pre-
sident (Clinton) general Armstrong, and
myself, had been employed in concerning
a plan to oppose him at the next presi-
Dental election. This paltry story, had
considered as utterly unworthy of notice
and perhaps I, at this time, attach to it
too much Importance, in avowins, as /
now do, that while I,>was secretary Of
state, / never had in conversation or in
writing any communication whatever. di-
reetly or Indirectly, upon any such sub
ject, with either the yice-president or &C.
neral Armstrong, or with either Of them
through any person whatever. But being
at this time private citizen, l may, |
trust, be allowed to declare to my eoun-
trymen, as most sincerely do, that to en-.
sure the duration Of the republican party,
as well as to preserve the honor and best
interests of the United States, it has be-
come indispensably necessary, that our
president be man Of energetic. mind, of
enlarged and liberal views, Of temperate
| and digniied department, Of honorable and
manly feelings, and as efficient in main
tanning, as sasacious in discerning the
rights of eur much injured and insulted
