We shall look in vein for satisfactory

Manifesto or the war Committees re-
port. We must so q little further be-
hind the curtain. Napoleon, in whose
hands our lettle great men at Washing

declare war against Great Britain
The Continental system was enforced
here for long time according to his
wishes but not with that success he re.
quired.-War he would have, and A.
meriCans, like asses, have submitted to
bear his insults. No dispassionate
man, who has calmly considered the
course of measures that has brought US
to our present submission 10 the views
of the French Emperour, can believe
this war IS made for the protection OF
Commerce, or on account of any differ
ences which could not be adjusted with
Great Britain. 1t has been in Jeffer-
sons as well as Madison's power repea-
tedly to make an adjustment between

would not permit it. Madison may

shall we say Of a government that gives
20 Its citizens such protection as wolves

them Has our general government
for the last 10 or IL years given us any
better Have they not steadily pursued

NEW LOAN.

1t seems that some persons are much dis
appointed in the unsuccessful experiment for
q Loan to the U. s. at six per centum. But if
I understand the subject, as stated in two es-
says, recently published in your paper on f.
nance, there is a reason of great weight that
did not operate against former Loans, viz. the
contemplated refusal to take the evidences to
be given for this debt at the proper Offices,
evea at any Price, in exchange for the public
lands, pledged for the redemption of the pub
lie debt. Now, as cannot conceive why this
prohibition exists, should like much to see
single good reason assigned for this absurd
check. How can any man expect another to
trust him, while he refuses to take his own
notes in payment Q.
