other fact which he believes to be equauu
true how true that is, we NAV be per-
united TO doubt" our government will not
under any circumstances that may occur fol M
a political connexion with France" This we
pronounce without hesitation to be utterly I'M
worthy of credit 1t is absolutely impossible,
IN the nature of man and of things, that in the
present situation of the world any nation can
be long at wal with Great Britain without
forming political connexion with France
These two vast powers divide the attention and
the interests of the world, and whosoeyer is
at war with one of them must necessarily
have an Intimate union and cooperation with
the other.
" Our government" says Mr.. Gales, {" will
obtain what they have a ri1eAtto demand first
from Great Britain, 8, afterwards from France"
Here the Jesuit appears-Our PREPARATION from
France is not to depend upon the injuries re-
ceived from her or the atrocity with which
they are inflicted, but upon the previous sub
mission Of England to what we may conceive
to be our 'isht. We demand from her what
ever France may dictate to be demanded, and
then promise that when Great Britain grants
it all, we will make our demands on France
Most candid, most impartial statesmen We
have heard that " when The sky falls We Shall
catch iarks. - Such promises may be safely
made, While France is permitted to be the
Judge and arbiter OF what VIC have right 10
demand of England.
FRIENDS OF PEACE AND CMMEAcE BE NOT
DECEIVED by this shallow stratagem, The
administration that could postpone the taxes,
admitted and declared to be essential to their
war, tor the express purpose OF avoiding their
influence on the approaching elections, altho'
they VIII and most come upon you as certain
as fate, as soon as the elections are over, would
not hesitate, for the same purposes, ana with
the same sincerity, to talk ofpeace and accom-
mediation until they shall be firmly placed "a
gain In their totterlng seats. They will then
indulge with rcdoubled rancor their hatred to
England, and wanton in the full enjoyment OF
their love for France. u. S. Gag.

BE NOT DECEIVED.

The cunning men at Washington, finding
1t impossible to excite In the people the mad
ness and folly which govern themselves; that
their electioneerlng war becomes tie more &c
tested the more its motives and effects aro
felt and understood aud above all That thelr
darling projected alliance with Napoleon
klndles universal indignation; and finally
that their expulsion from Office viii probably
be the consequence Of their fatal measures
ndeayouf now, most awkardy, most shame
f.s.iy,vtt- expatlate upon their aversion to the
wsf; their good dispositions to Great Britain;
and their gathering resentment against France
FMS miserable attempt at guliIg people
100 often and too fatally deceived by similar
contriyances, is really most contemptible.-
Pursuing the old system of affected modera-
uon and candor, and of fair promises intend
ed to be violated, we fnd whining, canting
article in the National Intelllgencer, full OF
gross alsehood and palpable fraud. SO, Just
beiore the declaration of war, there was pub
llshed column In that paper, boiling with in
Iisnatlon against France, protesting the ut
most impartlallty between her and Great Bril-
tain, declaring them equally cuIpable towards
this country, and promising that If the ex-
pected advices by the Hornet did not bring
rs ample satisfaction, France would be treated
in the same manner as England--W nat fol-
lowed, every body knows.
The IntellIgencer now informs US that g our
government are disposed to accommodate all
differences with En-. land on the most reason
able terms Yet, although operations were
going on in England which promised such
terms, and have probably SO terminated our
government refused the delay of a few months,
as if they feared Great Britain would take "a
way from them all pretence OF war. We are
told that this administration are willing, and
long have been SO, to make an arrangement
respecting the impressmcnt OF seamen, reel
procally agreeing not to employ each others
men. This we pronounce to be downright
lalsehood, and We challenge MIR. Gales, or
whoever may be Its author, to produce any
document or voucher TO support the assertion.
On the contrary 1t is well known than all
arrangement which had been made ON this
subject by Mr.. Monroe, I" both honorable
and advantageous" to the United States, was
spurned at by our MISUNDERSTANDING
WHY? Because it would have deprived our
demagogues Of their most fruitful topic ofde-
clamation; heretofore our democratic presses
haye insisted that the British have many more
of our seamen than we have OF theirs. Now,
forsooth, Mr.Gales admits :" that the exclusion
of British seamen from our service would Sc
cure to her more than she can gain by im-
pressment." The arrangement now proposed
our administration have heretofore rejected,
because they said it could not be executed
from the difficulty of distinguishing British
seamen from our own; yet they would not
allow the same apology for the impressments

From the Connecticut Herald.

The continent of Europe has for length
of time presented one vast field of bloodshed
and havoc Her plains have been deluged
with the blood, and whitened with the bones
Of her inhabitants. Her morals have been
corrupted by the influence OF continental wars,
and her youth have persisted in the field Of
Slaughter.
Far removed by nature, from these scenes
Of devastation, we indeed iamcDled the de-
structive ravages Of armies, and comnisserat-
d the sufTerngs of our fellow men but we
,ewed them without those feelings Of dismay,
which would have been excited in our breasts,
were VIC personal actors in this grand drama
We stood aloof from the vortex, which swal-
lowed states and empires with an irresistible
fatality. These commolions were TO US, the
distant thunder, far removed from our happy
shores.
Such was our euvied station, when the mo-
dern Nero issued his imperial mandate, that
there should be g no neutrals !" But even
then, we INDUCED the hope, that America
would not render an implicit obedience to the
tyrant's nod. The hope was vain. America
has rendered this obedience-thc tyrant's man
date is obeyed!
Thus we are made the instrument of Napo-
Icons ambition-an ambition, unbounded and
Unsuitable, which acknowledges no restraint
and which regards no sentiments of justice
which may contravene his projects. An ALI
ance with him is to be deprecated as the worst
of evils. Let the ubiect states OF Europe
bear melancholy and unwilling testimony,
that this assertion is literally true. They all
l., he OIL cf ri boy all
ex3erienced that her g embrace is death. y
We are compelled to say of them, as of an
cicnt Troy, & Fuit leiunl, ct ingens gloria
Teucrorun.
Bonaparte has ever regarded the quiet, and
happiness OF these rising states, with the envl-
Gus eye Of Demon, and the jealousy Of a
6end.
Separated as we are, by the vast Atlantic,
he has hitherto been unable to injure US by o.
pen force, but where force cannot be employ
ed, intrigue can prevail.
Let it be remembered, that France never
dared to attack the Swiss, until by bribery, and
corruption, she had formed party In her favor
Had they been united, the mountains OF Swift
zerland might have rivalled the streights OF
Thermopylee in fame An alliance with
France would endaDger our principles, and
morals, and introduce fatal corruption. 1t
would naturally produce familiar intercourse
and Napoleon would have full opportunity to
mature his plans for our destruction. BY pro-
scouting the war against England, we assist
his ambitious projects, lin the most dreect man
ner possible, but still this will be compare
lively triling evil unless it leads to an alliance
with France This is what we dread, and
from this, may Heaven avert our country.
