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 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 ?

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, I I .• 1 1; a:c i &;r o. et nirpitb Js eff; non Htftory abounds with fafls illuftraiiye of tins great truth, hut you have either forgot or mi 11 a ken lt .

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
