Of the French robberies that have been com
mitted since the reign of democracy, brought
chastising upon their heads nAdanis's time,
which gave US rest several years after. The
"cord" which Bonaparte sEhas somehow or
with the sword" is this--his minister Of fo-
reign affairs told us that the French DEGREES
would be revoked after such a time hropided
the orders in council would be rescinded, or,
we would " cause our rights 10 be reshected''.!
Who could suppose government SO full Of
huncfiho and tinderas ours, could have ever
swallowed this pill No doubt it was passed
off with the apostrophe Of the suffer to Lady
Randolph.

This sscord" is to remain snug as hang
mans knot round our necks, till we Hapse oar
rights to Be RESPECTED although the DEGREES
of France are still in force /! There is ru-
NOR that these DEGREES are formally rc-enact-
ed. If this be true, will Mr.. Madison believe
it then?

THE EDITORS Of all the commercial
cities will again insert list III their papers
of all cattors, ro65cries and burnings of Ame
rican vessels, which they can collect, with the
amount of loss, by French vessels of war
since the alledged revocation of those DEGREES,
we will issue them in due order in an extra
sheet, or devote our paper to them, taking
good care that sufficient number Of copies
shall be distributed in Congress for all the
members and their friends. As to the Presi-
dent, it is evident he qvants this reformation,
and he Shall have them plenty as the locusts
of Egypt, in his study, dining room, hall,
driving room, out-houses, &C. sc. staring him
every where in the face. We should hope

wonderful anodyne to the 7uar-munia which
RACES in Washington.

delusion, unless indeed they are SOLD 70 sin
Is it possible that they are Ignorant OF
the feelings and wishes of the people OF
these Northern states I mean more especi.

from Washington that you are going to war,
to satisfy tee just expectations of the people,
and in obedience to their commands. Can
our government be SO deluded! You may
begin the war, and my life upon it, the authors
Of it mil soon be glad TO hide themselves IN
the cavca and dens Of the EARTH
