The English papers are full Of commentaries
on the message Of the President OF the United
States. Every one considers It according to his
political views and private incnations but the
TACT ls this long declaration pleases and agrees with
no one. II has not even escaped sharp censures
on the part OF the American papers.
Mr.. Monroe, who is not sovereign, who has
himself told US thai he is only the first delegate Of
the people, has taken in his message the tone of
powerful monarch, whose armies and fleets are
ready to go forth on the first signal. lie does more

duct they are 10 pursue in certain circumstances if
they do not wish to incur his disgrace. Such is the

Mr.. Monroe is the temporary President of
republic. situated on the eastern coast Of North
America. This republic is bounded on the south
by the possessions of the king of Spain, and on
the north by those OF the king of England. Its

years by what title then are the two Americas 10

Bay to Cape Horn? What clamours did he not
raise to the United States, when the emperor of
Russia wished to trace the dema cation OF the part
OF territory which he claims on the north west coast,
as discovered by his subjects! This monarch, how
ever, did not presume 10 dictate laws to any Of the
states who have establishments on the same coast.

whole OF the new world.

The least effort to re-cnter on the territory which
for three centuries she has possessed. The king Of
Portugal as the American papers have observed
themselves, could not act as sovereign and father,
without exposing himself to the wrath of MIR. Mon
roe. England would require his previous consent
It it suited her interest, to make any new military

Scotia. And yet MIR. Monroe's message contains
phrases indirectly hostile to the policy and ambition

BY bringing under one point of view all the as
erons and doctrines contained in this message, it
satisfactory to consider that it has not yet received

country where il appeared; and, in short, that the
opinions of Mr. Monroe are as yet merely the
opinions OF private individual
