the Affairs Of Napoleon grew gloomy, our
prints, from time to time, grew high in their
language IS to the objects OF the American
contest aud, when Napoleon was actually
pun down, they threw of all reserve, and, in
the most distinci terms, with an air cf official
authority, they inform US, that VIC were not
to lay down our arms, ill we had effected in
Ameiics, gvhaf had been Effected in Franee,-
Ihe government, we are told, was to be done
away. Mr.. Madison was 70 be defossa, as
Napoleon had been. Our army then in France,
were do in America wha, they had just done
10 France. That is to say, they were I" to
oliver the Americans from an oppressive n-
St'fa,en, and restore them 10 their former

These declarations were, at the period al.
lnde daily made in the 2Ymes and the Courier.
Nay, i; is only few days ago, tha. the Times
newspaper, in expressing its regret, that the
sovereign prince Of the Netherlands had sent
an ambassadors to America, observed, that, II
he had stopped for a Jew months, he might
have been spared the disgrace OF sending nm
ambassador TO such people ss James Madison
and his pariy...-Let 1t further DO borne IN
mind, that, soon after the deposing oi Napo-
icon, there having been debate in the house
Of Commons, relative to the reduction OF The
navy, there was published in the newspapers
OF the mex, day, q paragraph purporuns TO
be the report Of speech oi Sir Joseph Yorke,
one Of the Lords of the Admiralty, in which

on was dcposed, we could not yet disa,m to

Madison yer to dthose-The newspapers
have, ever since, held tho same language.
They have, since the deposition ot Napoleon,
wholly left out of sight the original ground OF
the war. Nsy,,hey pretend TO nave no ground
al all. But insist, that as we now have an
oRaoytunffy as We have feet nHost, and
disciplined army that we know not 10 do with,
we ougnl while the occasion offers, 10 re-
conquer y mc,ica, or at least, TO dcspoil her
N such way, lila, she shall never again be

aaye published list vf the american nary
sad have observed upon 1t, that, IL America
be not no7v cut up; II she be not noO, while
France, Spain and Holland are unable to ns-
sist her if she be not now crippled past re-
coyery; if she be noro aufiered 10 nave peace;
If, in short, she bo hot sov destroyed, II is
fearful to thihk of the degree OF baval power,
at which she may arrive in tho course OF ten
or q dozen years of uninterrupted prosperity,
having had proof of what her seanen arc Ca

overcharged, not, in the smallest degrec,rnis-
represented the language OF these prints,cvcry
reader will allow and indeed, must con.
fess, they spoke very nearly, the language oi
the whole nation. How the people OF Ame-
rica, from whom nothing can DC kept scc'et'
have received this language, ! know not; but,

the moment when we were freed from all en-
