Upon the whole, it seems difficult to dis
cover the prospects of a speedy accom-
mediation with Great Britain. Even
should our ministers in Russia be met

arc many subjects of complaint, which
have arisen out Of the war, to be dis
cussed and adjusted, before full and

Of war, from that august body, must
they emanate In fine when we
cast our anxious eyes to the general
government, which was instituted
for our welfare, our protection. our
prosperity, we see nothing in Con-
gress, or the Executive department,
to which we can look as the source
of good, or the barrier TO mischief,
but the Senate.
With, then, this awful depend
ence on the Senate for whatever is
held dear and sacred in life, it is
with no common anxiety we view the
efforts OF intimidation and cOrrup-
ton, now making to crush the in
dependence of that honorable body.
So sensible are the leaders of the
faction Of the necessity OF reducing

have put in requisi'ion every engine
in their power. both public and pri.

last obstacle to their mad career
and the friends Of liberty. commerce
