The official declaration which is to terminate the
Congress, is already in circulation among the di-
plomatists at Vienna. The following is the text
OF that important Document, which is attributed to
the celebrated Mr.. DE Cent? Secretary to the Con-
gress.
DECLARATION.
i lie european Powers have assembled at Y len
na, to consolidate the basis fixed by the peace of
Paris. The labour was as complicated as it was
dificait. IL was requisite to re-estabish what 2J
years OF anarchy had destroyed to reconstruct the
political edihce from its ruins to restore fallen
States; to circumscribe others within just limits
and to dispose of number of countries left vacant
by the suoverson of the Power by which they had
been overthrown. 1t was also requisite by wise
distribution of force among their principal States.
to prevent the preponderance of any particular
Power, and thereby obviate, the return of those
dangers which have recently instructed and aston
ished the world.
This magnificent object has been accomplished
great obstacles have been removed, delicate ques-
ions decided, and contradictory pretensons recon.
ced.
II the Congress has not eqnalled every expccta-
ton, satisfied the wishes, and consoed the msfor-
tunes which have weighed heavily on individuals
and nations; it. indeed it has not attained to that
ideal perfection which has been so often and so vain
y anticipated, it has at least fulfilled the various
duties devolved uponit, in regulating all those in
terets, the cellison Of which might again Involve

8 How far our co-1ntry has added IN her
character, among IRE nation sof the earth !?
In order to shew the beneficial Effects
winch the war is likely to produce, it will be
necessary to take a hasty sketch of the si,pa
ton of our country, at the time of it's declara-
ton, and during the preceding years of our
existence as nation.
1T tue close OF the revolutionary war. A.
merlca enjoyed all those blessings which re-
suit from ALI elevated character. in an enyia
bic degree. The holiness with which she
had encountered the utmost wrath of an ex.
asperated government the vaior of her
sons /; the high minded fortitule. which snp
ported. her in the most disastrous seasons
the wisdom OF her councils, and virtue of her
statesmen and above all, the splendid sue
cess winch attended her efforts all these
seemed to incircle her rame with halo nj
glory. She was greeted as welcome mem
Der OF the society of nations. Every state
was eager to shew her IN. most flattering At
tentions, and to place her on the footing of
the most favored nation. Even monarchs
were ambitious TO patronize the infant liberty
OF America. The fame Of her Washinetous.
her Franklins, and her Jeffersons. had been
spread through the courts of Europe. and
Impressed them with the most exalted opini
on OF the country which gave those patriots
birth. America became the fashion, where
fashloD IS onnpotent, and no man could be
so effeotually recommended, as to bear the
name of an American.
1t cannot be doubted that this temper had
great influence in preserving the peace of
America, during the period of imbeciitv
which ensued. While the Union was threa.
tened with dissolution from its own weak
ness, no attempts we're made by foreign pow
ers 20 toment divisions among us. Our old
adversary, it is true, gave us cause of COM
plant, on account of the non-execution Of the
treaty OF peace; bit these injuries were Of a
negative character. We were permitted
quietly to settle down in that form Of govern
rnent, which QUE own wisdom should point
out as the best.
Here cannot help again remarking the
Importance of national character. AT the
period ] am speaking of, America was as
feeble as possible. Without money without
commerce withoct government in short,
destitute Of every thing but character, she
was yet enabled 10 preserve the respect Of
the world.
