You boast as much of extreme long fuffer
ing as a generous power could have done
who had, for a long time, fuff-red attacks
and outrages —scorning to avenge jtfclf of
them. You complain of a violence'for ever
aftive, as if you had been opprefled and
crushed by it. Let tit fubftilute fafts for
words.
What power is it which, forming and
keeping up four fucceflive coalitions,’ lias,
during fifteen years, spread over the conti
neht all tke fcourge* of war ?
What power is it, who was the hft to
make peace—the firft to violate its condi
tions, and the firft to break it—by whom
the treaty of Amiens was annihilated, al- i
most as (Von as it was concluded ? j
What power is that who, by hoftilitics "
and rapine, committed in profound peace,
forced Spain into a war ?
What power is it, which had enriched
itfelt with the spoils of Spain and Holland,
and which in India ha* usurped the throne of
Tippoo Saib ?
What power is that, which has unceaf.
ingly varied and multiplied its vexations
with refpcfl to. neutrals; which has tyrani
xed over all commercial and navigating na
tions, and which Hill pretends to fuhjeft the
Americans to the most humiliating law ?
What power is it, which has constantly
trodden under foot the Law of Nations, in
machinating among its enemies confpiracics,
assassinations, and profcriptiooi ? What
power is it, whom Rttropc ha* accufcd of the
horrible execution* at Naples, the affiffma
tion of P,tul the 1. and the attempts against
the life of Napoleon f
What power is if, whom the world accu
ses of protesting the butchers of St. Do
mingo ?
To all these qneftions there is but one an
fwer—lt is Ekoland- It is you, how.
ever, who now boast of long fuffering.
o!on<Sr h™ n y
the avowed project ol coalcfcir.g against you
all the states of Europe.
Doubtless, in contemplating the epoch
when you coalesced all these states against
France, and looking at yonr present fiitua
tion, you may be a little aftoniftied at lh«
contrast of these two fmntion*.
Yonr declaration could ferre no purpofc
but to irritate the cruel wounds which you
have infiidled upon the Danilh nation, and
to disgust more and more the nations of the
continent.—You have informed Europe, that
your jollification rests upon the pretext of
your security—a pretext which Europe
knows to be more ridiculous, inafuutch n*,
at the very moment that you attacked Den
mark*, you would not listen to offers of medi
ation on the part of Russia, the objeft of
which was the conclnfionof a peace which
would have removed from you every dan
ger.—Europe knows, from the language
which you have yourfelvcs held, that you
hadnooaufe of complaint against the Danes;
that they had done yon no injury j and that
all that you bad to find fault with was, the
cxiftence of their fleet, and their perse
verance in neutrality. What a leflon to all
nations?
I am very well aware, that you will care
but little for my anfwcr to your apology,
and my exposure of your impofturc. In be- ]
holding your spoils, you will laugh at the
principles which I have opposed to your ails
cf rapine. Reason alone will be found to
be a very ineffectual rest rain t upon yonr
conduft; but it is fufficient to confound
you before the tribunal of public opinion ;
it it fufficient to demonstrate your guilt in
the face of Europe, in expectation that Eu
rope will inflitt the punish nent which your
crimes deserve ; and certainly that expedi.
tion upon which you are now, perhaps, con
gratulating yourfelvcs, and of which you
are enjoying the fruits, will accelerate the
day of vengeance. You are difappornted
of the refe’ts which you expefled from ir.
Instead of terror and dismay, you have in.
spired only horror and indignation ; yon
have, it is true, got a few more (hips than
you had before ; but you have shut against
yourfelvcs all the remaining parts which
were open to you upon the continent. You
have rallied round Napoleon all the states
which were full reftgned to your tyranny :
whole injuries he is now preparing to a.
venge, and whose rights he is about to
assert. You hive completed our union,
which his policy would fca'Cely have heert
able to cff;cl; and the time is not distant,
when his genius will teach you how vain
were the h )pes which you founded n ion
your expedition ; you will then find tint
y our in; if :*es of prsfsrv iti -n were iB-afurss
of ruin, and you will recogoiz? the truth,
thri even in politics utility can never be
co nbintd with infamy,

BIOGRAPHY.
• From Calvin’s 'Veek Ij Rtfijter m
**ETCH OF THE >VBLIC CHARACTER oi
JAMES MADISON,
Mr. J ame3 Madisoh is a native of the
county of Orange, in the State of Virgin
ia. His tamily in all its branches are re
fpedahlc, opulent, and independent. His
father, Col. J, Madison, was a man of
great icfpeflability ; he provided handfomc-
Jy for a Icrgc family, and to Mr. Madison,
htsoldeftfon, he gave a confidcrabla eftatr,
including his family feat.
Mr, Madison completed his education at
Princeton College ; where he was so much
diftinguifticd for his genius, application,
acquirements, and amiable qualities, that
he poflefled the esteem ?nd refped of the pre-
Lm..
man ever did.
Mr. Madison's firft appearance in public
life was in the year Iyyifo He was eleded
in the spring of that year a member ot the
convention of Virginia for his native coun
try. By that convention the present go
vernment of Virginia was formed, and the
delegates of Virginia were inftruflcd in the
month of May, of that year, to vote to
Congrcfs for a declaration of Independence,
Mr. Madison, *it is said, took no part in
the bufir.efs of that afft-cnbly, owing to his
extreme diffidence. He was soon after
wards appointed a member of the executive
council ot Virginia, and continued a member
of that board until he was delegated to re
present that commonwealth in the Congress
which fat in the year 17 70- During all
this time it is not known that Mr. Madt
f n ever made a public display of his abili
ti:s, C and it is presumed he owed his ad-
Yincerhcnt to the ftrorg pledge that was
made by fume of our molt diftingaifhed citi
zens fur his talents.
Or that number Mr. Jeffcrfon n believed
to have been the firft to diflinguilh and the
tnoft aftivc to bring into the country's fer
vicc the superior mind r-f Mr. Madison,
whose diffidence and backwatdncfs were
such, that it is possible bis fcrviccs might
I have been lull to .the nation, if
efforts had not been made to draw him into
the artive cxercifes of his powe-s. It is
believed by a gentleman who knew Mr,
Madison well when he to ccn
crefs, that he would not in that body,
. fmallasit was, have been able to conqaer
his extreme tmbarraflrncnf, if it had not
beer, for the great prrffure arising from the
importance of the crifts, and his being fume
times a floriated with men who could nor,
without his aid, f iftain the common burthen.
From their firft acquaintance to (Ins mo
ment, it is believed there has fubfillcd bc
' tween Mr. jeffcrfon and Mr, Madison the
utmod intimacy and confidence, founded
upon mutual esteem and ref peel.
Mr. Madison continued i» Congress un
til the latter part of the year 1783, when
hs became ineligible under the confedera
tion, which limited the fcrvicc of a mem
ber of the Virginia aflembiy. From the
circumftancs of Mr. Madison's having
been educated out cf thefta'c, and hts long
fa vice in Congrcfs when he took hts feat
in the Virginia affrmbly b: found hnnfelf
abnoft a (banger; But the very high rc,
putafion he had acquired in Congress, gave
him a place in the confidence oi those who _
did not know hts per for). The period was
deeply interfiling. It began then to be un
der flood that thermion of the flata must be
Iloft, or the government new modelled. In
that session Mr. Madison made f «mc etfbrt*
to give, to Congrcfs rcfources to comply
with the engagements ot the nation, so
j the ftatc tlit time was peculiarly important.
The revlfalof their body of laws so as to
