Rr;t,;n would, from thenceforth, be divided
and governed by French Intendants OF l4eu-
tenants, as Macedonia was by Roman praetofs
or proconsuls.
Without giving an opinion as to the lusuc'e'
of these apprehensions, we will observe that
few people can treat them lightly, when they
reject how strictly and how wonderfully some
OF MIR. Coke's fears have been realised
yes, even 10 the very letter. Seeing what was
ONCE considered a wild chimera assume the
parb Of undeniabie Truth, let Americans,
therefore. cease to scott at the fears OF those
amongst us who are inclined to trembIe at the
gigantic power of France Let us be cautl-
one how we aid her in schemes OF further
conquests Where is our security, that she
would confne her projects to Europe, or even
TO the old world, should she succeed In over
throwing the British Empire? With the vast
accession of power which such an aggran-
dizement would place in her hands, & without
the shadow of opposition, left on one continent
with immense forces to maintain, and no
food for their rapacity,-few civilized nations
of the world could call themselves secure.
Wherever her ruler should glance wishful
look, desolation would follow with irresistible
energy; whether directed towards the trea-
sures of Hindostan or the mines of Mexico.
We are aware that these speculations may be
treated as imaginary impossibilities So were
Mr. Coke's, because Louis the Fourteenth
had not long before vainly endeavoured to
raise France to the rank she nozv holds. The
British orator did not, indeed, extend his fears
so far as We have done but alas clearly as
he penetrated the dark gloom of futurity, he
had not the most distant conception of such a
character as the one who now sNays the des-
TIMES of continental Europe man posses
sed of all the ambition of any former con-
queror, with ten fold their skill and their pow
err, and Fifty fold Of their relentless ferocity.

l come now to the last, but not least inn
portant part of the investigation proposed
to make, which is, that under the auspices of
the men who have recommended the war, s
the manner in which they are about to COM
mence it, so far from answering any good OBJ
iect, it must end in disgrace and ruin.
tits q fact well understood by all those, who
have had any knowledge ofthe politics of this
country, for many years past, that deadly ha-
tired to Great Britain and attachment to France;
has manifested ITSELF in all the conduct Of
Jefferson and Madison. This has been the
source of that practised Partially, which has
been the cause of our present unhappy situa-
ton. Even, overture, on the part of The one,
for an accommodation Of differences, is usher
ed in, with the preface by our Secretary of
State" That he has to lament, the offered
proposition, falls SO far short of the just ex.
pectations of the President" whilst all the a.
buse, all the outrages, all the robbelles OF the
other only " lead US to hope, that the Justice
and magnaninity of the Emperor and King,
will see the propriety of making PREPARATION
for the injuries we complain of''--an enthu-
saism in the cause of liberty, philosophical
and visionary hore of human perfectability
mounting upon the ruins Of christianity, COM
mon morality and government, might have ex-
cused momentary alteration from principles,
which the experience of the world had felt
necessary for the preservation OF human hap
piness-But when the result of revolution !;
the atrocities of which, only served to con-
vince every rational being, that the more men
wandered, from those pIecarious anchors OF
safety, the more wretched they became; had
entailed despotism upon the authors oft, it
seems strange, that these pretended friends to
reason and freedom, had not deserted them.
How is this to be accounted for? The French
revolution, had in all the countries of Europe
and unfortunately in ours, let loose the ties by
which ignorance, idleness and vice, had been
made obedient to the just principles of law,
religion and government. In addition to ths
effect produced here by these pernicious doc
trines upon the order ofhappiness of a repub
lican people, we were soon deluged with
host of forsignersfrOm the British Isles, whom

are on small scale, and woald be extremely
useful to a private family The Carding En-
CINE was made by Gregg & Head OF Alex
andria and as the double carding engines
made by them, are Justly in disrepute, it will
be necessary to make the following observa-
tons: The subscriber with his brother, in
tending to carry on the manufacturing of cot
ton in small wav, in addition to the above
carding engine, bought from the same per-
sons another, considerably larger, but made
on the same principles. They found, upon
commencing regular work, that it stuffed up
and ruined the cotton. Something appeared
necessary to make it discharge freely; but
but as they had no suspicion that men with
out sufficient experience, would publicly OF
fer their services as machine makers, they
threw the whole blame on themselves, and
laboured under this delusion, till they had
lost double the value Of the machine. They
then enlarged the frame, and inserted
stripping cylinder, which had the desired ef-
feet. The cotton is now discharged regular
ly and well carded, and the cards will last for
years. The above small engine has been al
tered in the same manner, and two additional
fats have been put on it, by which it is per-
feet. As none who have bought the double
carding engines from the above persons, can
have received any benefit from them, they
can have them altered, upon reasonable
terms, by applying to the subscriber near
