just as was about TO draw a line under
what have here written, The COURIER news.

weakening the Influence Of them, thinking
'ihey may thereby earn permission TO return

"between the Two countries not 10 be distur

that 10 behoves our government we'll 10 con-
elder what measures those bsnished Bona
'paris,s may there devise against our inter-
ests. The hatred Of Souit, in particulaf,
against every thing English, is unbouhted,
and as he 10, beyond. dispute, the most skii-
lol OF oil the French generals, would II not
'be prudent step on our part, to dsnidnd
that these gentry should nor be hermiaed'to
'go 10 I1'H.ried /? There are plenty Of airy,
Wholesome islands in the Mediterranean"
= How jenousihi writer is How wary
&c Il is not that we do, or can fear America"
Oh /! no! Certainly not. But, If 1t boir.
POSSIBLE, for you to fear her., why think Il
prudent TO prevent any body going thither,
last they should give erroneous Impressions
TO the public mind there :--Oh hypocrirc
Say, at once, That you are Tull OF J'edrs: and
that, in fact, you wish to see those bravo men
murdered, Ia order 10 lessen, in some small,
degree, those fears. What harm are they TO
do us, the people Of England, in America
Arc the puoplc Of that country SO silly as to
be msled by men who cannot speak English Z!
Why fear their influence there Why fear
10 send generals to America do tho Am
cricans want generals Did they want them

Nidgewator, La Trsnche, New.Orleans Z
Ask the remnant ct our army that got away
from NewQ rieans, whether they think tho
Americans destitute Of generals. Bot, really,
1T this writer's notion were to be adopted If
our goyernment ought 10 demand, that no
. person shall be permittcd to go front France
10 America, who hate whatever Is English,
The task would be very arduous one Indeed.
FBcsidesthe prohibitions must extend all
over Europe for, though our conduct has
icbscn so very laudabls, so vesy humane, IN
every part OF the continent, il is 10 be feared,
that thcrc are individuals to be foundin most
Of It's countries, very ready TO speak evil OF
us. II is the lot of extraordinary virtue 10
excite envy and to put in motion the tongue
ol SANDER. But, then, what security can We
have against these effects of our superior
.sirlues We canpot lay enbargocs, or send
our custom house officers into all tho ports
ot Europe. 'Wc cannot prevent emigration
from the con.incn, TO America. 1t may, in
deed, be very hard, that this island shoold
not be able TO cut the two continets off from
al' cofnw.lnication with each other bot, il
rs pretty clear to inc, thai We shall not be
attc To do 1t ID 7traec, and much question
whether we should DO ablc to do II by the
E,cans Of another war. If, however, our gov
crement has right 20 prevent any person
goins 10 America, who may possibly inculca,c
theFc, notions, which this writer and others
like, him, ,hiok ERRONEOUS, respecting Eng
Ianu, they Nost have u right, aad they may
rake. ii into their heads, to prevent my envoys
from embarking in March or April next. i
viii certainly give them on opportunity OF
doing 1t; tor win not only name the ENJOYS
~ print, bur also the ship they are TO sail 10.
However 1t to preserve peace, lasting peace
between England aud Amcrics, be really The
wish OF the ministers, they will find In ne
most cordial co-opcrator. Indeed TO coniri;
butte towards this is my chief object. -lneysr
wish to sec another war with America. May
Peace between the two nations ncver again
be interrupted. ,'t
