cr wat for the rccolouixatioh Of Amoc$cl
would be likely 10 sueceed ? I think il woul<
not. must, however, confess, that skrc
with the author of the above article, that 6 tl
time is nvofinous" in the highest der ~
Not only have we an army ready orrani>
composed Of the bes, stuff best commaA<
ed best appointed and provided best discD
plincd in the world but we do nor knoD Who1l
70 DO svish il In the way pf employment, and 81
would be fer a year at least as expensive ~
peace as in war.--We have ttiore than suiIl-
ciency Of ships Of fsear to carry this my acroso|
the Atlantic, without crowdlng and without
the aid Of single transport. In Europe W
have nothing TO fcar-----Frahce will, Tor sotn6s
years, have enough TO do at home. II Ii tho
same in Spain and Holland and besides, whao|
are any Of them TO do soifhoaf .heess, and whoro&
in the whole world is the.e feet but II Eng
land Now, then, what arc the Americana n
do against this army and this feet hatel0
doubt that our ARMY would waste the sea coyst ~
that Il would at f,st beat the Americ1nt
wherever they met them that 1t would, u i1
chose, demolish some towns and occupy oth&'
ers that Il would make the congress change
its place of sit,ing but unless the states az
vided, have no idea tha, sucE d war would
finally succeed, and i, appears to me that thu
fall of Napoleon, especially coupled with whae&
will be deemed the ruinous language Of tho
Times newspaper, will inIallibly silchce tho
voice OF faction Id America, and will mako
The whole Of the people Of one mind a 70 thd
necessity Of providing for resistance.
The Times seetns 10 suppose that the pc6t
pie OF America, or at least part OF them, and
especially in Tho eastern states, will heartily
q icipa,c in Our Joy q, the fall Of Napoleo1
al zshe restoration of the Bourbons. VIII
q " 4supn the contrary, be terribly oidrihed 3
Wx lot those who had cited out against
\ ~ 4mcnt Tor aiding Napoleon, a. they
I slled It, begin to fear The consequences OF.
MS fall, when the project Of the Times reach.
Oh their ears, and when they find that thcr4
are writer's in Englan who already OPENLY
propose u make war upon them for the ez.s
fress hkrhose Of sn6verfng their govsrnwenl
and cfiec,ing in America Whai has been e ffectA
ed in France, namely, rsssorafion 2 Mira
Amcs Is compIihen.ed by this writer ss tho
Burke of America, and dare say that Mrl
Ames would have likcd very we'll 10 get penA,
sion Of three thousand pounds year but, IN
that respect he was not so lucky as his great
prototypes. Mr.. Ames Was poor drtvellinR
hankerer after aristocracy. Hc wished I'd
establish sort OF petty notfeSse they wanted
to make some honorary distinctions. Tho
people took the alarm, put them oUt Of poWerS
and they hate ever since been ctidcavorihg "a
tear out the vitaIs oil their country. The fall
Of Napoleon, however, will leave them Wholly
without support from the people, when thar
people hears that the first consequence Of that
is proposition in the English public printsy
to treat THEIR yoternmehs ns taut Of NafsoieofA
has been Heaied, and upon precisely the same
principle, namely, that II 10 deshotishb.
As / said before, trust that our govsrt4
nent is 100 wise to be led TO the adoption Of
any such project but II they we're, what could
our friends in America TO say They hav6
been asserting for years, past, that oars wss
the cause of freedom against dcspot. Whae
will they say if we make war Upon them tipod
tho same principle, and for the same end, that
we have been making War sgsins, Napoleon :
BY Mr.. Jefferson and his party it was always
concluded that ,hcrc was no danger TO be sp~
pretended from France under any circum4
stances and that il France, il the new ORDER
of things was subdued in France, America
would be in great danger. Therefore they
always wished, and they acted as il they wish~
ed, that France should not be defeated in tho
result Of the war. ltis in our power, by tnak.
ing peace with them at once, and waving all
dispute about differences that cat,et'. arisd
during peace, to show them that their fears
we're groundIess; bot will they not when they
see the project Of the Times newspaper, hold
il up to the teeth Of their political advorsArA
les, and say" look h<e I" Here isthe frse
fruits Of the fall OF the man whose dcstrucsiort
you told us wo ought 10 assis, in producings
and to do any thing in the upholdng Of whom
you represented ss impoliuc and base. This
will be their language to those sdSersarisss
who will hang their heads with shame, unIess
the author of the Times can make shift some
how or other to convoy 10 them small por-
tion Of his impotence. SO
think it is clear, then, that the people Or
America would, in case such a war were 10,
be made upon thsm, be United in spirit OF
rcsisfance and if they were. have no idea
