We behold, in fine, OH the side Of Great
britain, a state OF war against the United
oiates; and on the side of the United States,
state OF peace towards G. Britain.
Whether the United States shall conti-
nue. passive under these progressive usur-
pations, and these accommodating wrongs or.
opposing force to force in defence of their
Natural rights, shall commit Just cause in
to the hands of the Almighty Disposer of
events, avoiding all connexions which might
entangle it in the contests or views of other
powers, and preserving Constant readi-
ness to concur in AN honorable re-establish-
ment of peace and friendship, is a solemn
question, which the Constitution wisely con.
fdes to the Legislative Department of the
government. In recommending it to their
early deliberations, am happy in the as
surance, that the decision will be worthy the
enlightened and patriotic councils of vir.
tuous, a free and powerful nation.
Having presented this view of the relati-
ons of the United States with Great Bri-
tain, and of the solemn alternative growing
out of them, proceed to remark, that the
communications last made to Congress, on
the rubject of our relations with France,
will have shown, that since the revocation
of her DEGREES. as they violated the neutral
rights Of the United States, her government
has authorised illegal captures. by it's priva-
teers and public ships, and that other out
RACES have been practised on our vessels
and our citizens. II will have been seen al
so, that no indemnity had been provided, or
satisfactorily pledged for the extensive spo-
Eltons committed under the violent and re-
Prospective orders of the French govern
rlent against the property of our citizens,
seized within the jurisdiction of France. i
nbstainat this time from recommending to
the consideration of Congress definitive mea-
snes with respect to that nation. in the es-
pectation, that the result of Enclosed discus
lions between our Minister PlenipotentiaIy
at Paris and the French government, will
speedily enable Congress to decide, with
greater advantage, on the course due to the
rights. the interests and ,thc honor of our
country.

SIR must she go round without even the means of

what she must do Such the dialogue at Wash

cond ton, men and guns indeed, but neither powder
nor shot-Early last week she left Hampton Roads |;
on Thursday she was 80 miles from the Capes

SO much tor the brave crews that man them Is this

But there ships enough in France-- France has

various accounts from northern frontiers, and
without Indignation if he can, in how exposed and
utterly detenceess state all that part of the country
contiguous to the enemy is left. In addition what
there told, it is fact mentioned in letter from
that quarter, that the 4th of July fort Magyar
had not powder enough to fire salute in honor of the
