RE-COLONIZATIoN OF THE AMERICAN
STATES

newspaper OF Monday last, makes me regret
exceedingly that the Regent did not answer
that part Of the City Address which expires.
ses hope that ga heriod is M. 10 the rava-
ges Of 7par and that we may henceforth par
ticipate in the advantages Of q friendly and
uninterrupted intercourse seith uH The nations
ef he Svoria." / regret that his Royal High
ness did not speak to and echo this sentiment,
because the article above alluded 10 states that
there is 10 be o stipulation in fhe de6nifipe
treaty Of Peace, by which all the allied pow
crs and France are 10 bind Themselves nor 10
interfere TN the gvdr srhich England nuy norv
carry on against the Unifed STATES of ameri-
ca. This article is published as dated ar, and
as having been published at Tfenna. II is
doubtless, wholly false, though it is very df.
fcult to account for its being published in the
capital Of the Austrian government, where
intelligence Of this sort seems SO unlikely TO
be MISUNDERSTANDING the Times newspaper,
which has so loudly cried out for no heace
sriM James Madison, and has openly proposed
to detach part II the States from the confed-
Grafton, has fabricated the article itself,by way
of feeling the public pulse. BE this as it
may, the idea erisfs, and the PRONUNCIATION of
it must have very bad effect |; for, though
il is impossible to believe that the Prince Re-
gent would propose any such stipulation, ,thcre
can be no doubt that the very mention of il
in our prints will tend to make the Americans
more exasperated than they were before. The
effect OF this mischievous article would have
been, by anticipation, completely DESTROYED
by single word from the Regent, echoing
the wish for universai hcace, expressed by
the city of Lor.don. ! am aware, that his
Royal Highncss, by speedy adjustment of
all differences with America, which, indeed,
do themselves away by the existence Of peace
In Europe, will greatly disappoint the feeders
on war and the enemies of freedom. A. 10
the former, they might be satisfied with pro.
hts equal TO the profits of war but the latter,
nothing short OF the determination Of the We
ry name of Refn6Hc will ever satisfy. They
see in the existence of the Republic of Anne.
RIGA, danger little short OF what they saw in
the Republic of France. They see in il
receptacle for the oppressed and entcrprisinr
OF all nations. They see in il an example Of
freedom, morality aud happiues-, .as 49,
thought Of which puts them to the torture.
If they could consolidate all the people of
America into one carcase, they would, having
an arm sufficiently strohg,& an at m sufficiently
meD,if men we ought TO call such m monsters,talk
with delight Of the sending Of Lord Yelling
toms army 10 the United States +; they revsl in
the idea Of burning the cities and towns, the
mills and manufactures of that country /; at
The very least they talk of forcing Mr.. Madi-
son from his seat, and new modelling tho gov
ernment. They endeavor to excite all the
hostile passions here. They arc always rip
ping up our defeated and cafturcd /rigaiee,
without appearing TO recollect that we, at any
rate, defeated and .ook one frigate from the
Americans Why then urge US OH to reuenge?
Can aDyrevengc that we can take do away
these pages of history, any more than the de-
OF Napoleon can do away the his
tory of the battles OF Aus,erli,z, Jena and Et-
lau At other times they tell US of the dam
ger, which, as manufacturers, we have to APP
prehend from America, who is now, in her
turn, becoming an c.rforter Of 7pooien and of
cotton goods. And why should they not ex-
port woolens and cottons as woll as we !
What reason is there tfs, they shorld not
become commercial nation as we'll as we
or the Dutch These latter used to havc,ex
guese and Spaniards but, for my part, see
no harm that would arise from il, if the A
mericans, VINO have such abundance Of wood,
were to supply this article to all the Catholic
couatries OF Europe, as doubtlessstberc will
now be great call for it, seeing that the
Pope (to the grea. Joy Of this Protestant coun.
try is now restored to his See. But, in spite
OF tho justice AID reasonableness Of these sem
timen,s, they do not and will not, prevail a.
mongst the manufacturers in England, who
will look with jealousy and hatred towards A
merica aud perceiving no other way Of ar
resting her astonishing progress in the manu-.
featuring line than that Of tearing her to pie
ees by war, they will be for war with her at
any expense, and at any risk. The ship
owners know well, that they haven chance
IN fair conihetificn with the Americans.
They know that the latter can build, sail and
carry at half the price necessary for English
ships. This class, therefore, will be for war.
The mercantile marine will breed ships CT
