MONTPELIER, MARCH 4, 1s41.

Her internal resources, skill, labor and machine
ry, with her capital, are beyond calculation. Her
natural position, being about midway the coast of
Europe gives her great control our the outlets
and currents of commerce.
Her military occupation of Gibraltar, Malta,
the lonan Islands, and recently of ST. Jean d.
Acre. gave her ascendancy on the Mediterranean
and the Levant, while St Helena and the Cape of
Good Hope, give her possession over the currents
OF trade along those extensive COASTS Then Bonn
bay, Calcutta, and her immense possessions in
the East Indies, together with her recent move
men,s in the China and Islands, enable her
to extend her powers over those vast regions that
have slumbered for ngcs in solitary and enervatcd
magnlficence. She possesses Falkland island but
to control the commerce that passes around Cape
Horl-while Trinidad gives her all she desires in
tho Caribbean sea. HdiiGdr ut one point and Ber-
nudd at another stand out in great force over our
own coast from one extremity to the other.
Her positions all over The world are at this mo-
ment, in military point OF view, equal to mil
lion OF men under arms. Her continual conflicts
in the mighty regions of tho East only enable her
officers to become skilu and to improve in the
arts of war, while her great armies and extensive
fleets draw their support from the immense couu-
tries siezed and occupied. In the presen, uncture
OF affairs, no statesman overlook these things.
Steam power has resently broceht Us near eoA
geer, that in the event of any future conflict, tcdr
tcith lis effects, will be precipilaed upon us with
much more rapidly thnn formerly.
Ayarice and ambition are the ruling PASSIONS Of
modern times, and il is vain to shut our eyes to
the state of things around us. 1t remains to lie
seen what effects steam power is to have upon
changing and modifying the whole art Of deic nee
and war. 1t may ba great engine for again lev
cling mankind and reducing every thing to II
test Of mere physical force. In that event it might
be difficult to conjecture what system of national
defence, tciH best stand The test Of time and expert
ence.
We have deep stake in peace and fondly hope
the reposc of the world will not he disturbed. We
have certainly not the Ieust desire for any rupture
Firmness and a wise preparation, will long pre-
serve us from such a catastrophe. But while no
temptation should ever prompt us TO do injustice
on the one hand, So no consideration, on the 9th
er hand, should ever induce us TO submit to per
manent wrong from any power on earth, no mat
ter what the consequences may be.
Your Committee would conclude by express
ing a firm belief that all the points of difficulty
may be honorably and amicab!y adjusted, and that
harmony may long be preserved by both govern
menis pursuing liberal and generous policy
congenial to the interests and feelings of hol
people, and compatible with the spirit and gcniu,
of an enlightened age.

Despite Of all his foes.

His free election greet,
And shouts come booming DER the hills,
While he assumes his seat.

Since Washington was known,
Had grnced the seat, or worn tile wreath

Commerce may lilt her head,
And manufactures DER our realms

These triple Sisters own thy sway,
And well thy influence know,
And, CHERISHED by shy grace, will rise
Their bounties to beslow.
Lo! q" .NctV Era" glorious dawns

And Frredom's sons their honors pay,
