War having been declared by the con.
sItuted authorities Of the country, We
submit TO the constitutional requisi.
tons but We still deem it orr duty
freely TO notice the remarkable cirCum-
stances attending il, that BY change Of
men and measures the evils we fear
may be averted.
It's remarkable fact shat an oftn5ive
war under any circumstances shonld be
commenced by a nation protesting a
love Of peace, against the nation whose
means are best adapted to injure Us or
any nation Oh earth.
II is a remarkable fact, that without
any new cause Of war, and soon after
the adjustment of a principal cause Of
complaint, viz. the affair Of the Chesd-
peake, war should be declared by our
government, at time when our whole
sea coast il defenCeless, and our princi-
pal cities without any considerable for
ut1cations, and before il is known whetb-

marine force, (besides o host Of useless
gun-boats) is hardly sufficient to send
our ministers and messengers to France
and when Great Britain has more than
one thousand armed vessels.
IL is remarkable fact that war should
be declared for the protection Of COM
merce or the benefit Of the Commercial
statcs, when All the uotheTn commercial
states are decidedly opposed to il, and
when there was more than two votes to
one in the house Of representatives
from the states north Of Pennsylvania
against war.
It is a remarkable fact that wa
should be declared Just after despatch
