The Romans in making choice of a
General for an important enterprise had
regard not only to his reputation for bra
very and skill, but also required that he
should have. been distinguished for bis
| good fortune. 1t was principally upon
| the latter quality that the popularity OF
Pompey was founded. IF the American
people should act upon this principle in
their choice Of President at the ap-
preaching election, Nj Madison chance
Of being Reelected will be bad Indeed. II
he has conducted his diplomatic inter
course with foreign governments with
wisdom and integrity, and has indeed OBJ
served fair impartiality and a Just de-
pertinent to all, then must he be acknow-
lodged to have been very unfortunate in
the result. Instead Of the peace which
such conduct should have secured, be
finds himself engaged in wars, at once
with the English, he whole Indian tribes
of the North West, and with the .Alge.
rincs, besides the friendly hostlitics car,
ried on against our commerce byFrance
ard her dependencies, which have had
all the effect OF war on their part, altbo'
it certainly has not been a, war accord
ing to Mr.. Jcfferson's definition of it,
trying which can do tic other the most
harm," as no such anchlistian spirit has
prevailed on our side. If the warfare In
which he has engaged, has been con-
dpcted with vi5er and capacity, the dis
asters which have constantly attended
our arms, under his auspices, sncw him
to be most singularH destitute If good
fortune in war as we'll as in peace, and
as such the Romans would in Their day
have dispensed with lis further services.
In the early part Of Mr.. Jcnerson's
administration, amongst tho many pretty
philosophical sayings, with which he "a
amused the people, it will be found laid
down as maxim in one of his commu-
mic stons to Congress, that call history
teaches that just nations are ever re-
sGecled by their neighbors." Ii this max
i'm is correct one, ours must have lost
all claim to the character Of a Just Da-
ton under the democratic administra-
tons, as it has been apparent to all that
of late we are not respected by any OF
or neighbsrs. How will Mr.. Jefferson
account for this /?
Capt. OGILvIE, who commanded
tic s;h regt. at the battle of Queens
town, has arrived at n York, and states,
that Gen. BROCK was certainly killed
in that engagement.-He saw bis fune-
raj. Capt. O. further states, that the
loss on our side, was 90 Killed and 700
prisoners.

BoNApARrE has been the conduct
of Bonaparte to his illustrious captive, the
Pope When be first entered the Roman de-
millions, he addressed that unfortunate pontlf
both in his letters and manifestoes, with all the
appearance of zealot warmly attached to the
cause of religion, and the sacred character OF
the head Of the church. Having luled him
with his vile hypocrlcy, he proceeded unmo-
Tested to Rome where, under his direction,
and by those Immediately under his command,
the whole civil government of the capitol was
overturned, by creating monks, consuls, and
senate, sc. composed Of French republicans,
under color Of restoring to the unhappy Ro-
mans the long lost privileges of their original
ancestors. This rnockery was scarcely csta-
blished, when he began by raising heavy con-
tributions ON the inhabitants oil the whole pro-
vince, then by banishing the cardinals and
selling upon their effects and finally giving
notice to the Pope, that he must quit his dig
nifty, with all his temperatures in three days
time. The very advanced age and blameless
lit VI tliS poht1ll, aSuCu " 'Ho' 0ly ing ie
spect paid by all Europe, fer the space OF a.
boye four centuries, to his sacred Office, one
would think would arrest the ordinary plum
derer from such gross and humanity insult.
No; government of terror and plunder was
to be carried on, and Bonaparte, by his gene
rails, felt no difficulty in the execution This
venerable old man, dignifed by the titles of a
temporal prince, and head OF the Catholic
church, at the age of eighty-two, and in the
middle of winter, was not only stripped OF his
all, even to the ring of St. Peter, but obliged
to make forced journies and to get out Of his
dominions as fast as possible.
