THE TPE.iTY.
When Mr. Jefferson returned the treaty to
England, the British agents predicted war as
the only consequence that conk! possibly follow.
At that time we told them they would be as
much mistaken as ever, and that Britain dare
not go to war. If. indeed, it weie its interest
to wage war upon us, the return of the treaty
would have been the nlgnui for its commence
ment—our remark was,
*• She wit declave war the moment the
rejection of the treaty is announced, or not
at all.”
The rejection has been announced, we find,
and a ifi.fi rs remain as they did, before the in
stru i er.t was agreed upon bv the ministers.
The attention:- paid by he nercha; ts, to Mr.
Monroe, is a criterion of tiieir sentiments on
the existing citcomshtnces of the two ountiies
■ — iiey know full well the in.pottanre of A: le
rica, in supplying rw maleiials, and the con
sumer of these mate i .ls, when maiifaclurcd ;
and they know, th t without the intervention
of American neutral ships, the manufactures 1
of .’• g>and could gain adu.iaatice no where but
in the colonies.
Those merchants are explicit in their senti
ments they express an earnest and well found
ed desire for harmony—-not that they care
for us, but because peace will be to their inter
est; it they were less dependent upon us, tiiey
would be anxious for the desuuctiuu of our
commerce.
What is the interest of the merchants of
England, is equally that of the manufacturer,
and must be consulted by the ministry.
I’hose, who talk of war, wish to deceive the
American people, to prevent their complaints
of existing wrongs, and their efforts to obtain
redress. ‘l'hiere is no sincerity in what they
bay —war w* .<> bate followed the passage of
tie* non-importation act, and it was to nave fol
lowed the rejection of the treaty —but peace
prevails still, and we venture to sav evil! be un
in -erupted, unless madness shall drive the
British nation to ruin.
We are perpe unify told of the injuries of
War, as if they were coveted, and then we are
asved how we cou and carry on hosti iiies. We
will answer this question, by mentioning some
of the consequences.
Tats payment of the funded debt might be
Suspended.
A heavy taxation upon manufactures, from

Siates Cali at present produce every article ne

the barms, he id directly or indirectly by British
subjects ; and of every acre of land belonging
to companies or indiriduals ; in fad the seiz
ure of British property of every sort and de&-
cription.
it would be no argument that the property
is pi ivate, as has been u.ged by some of our
federal wiseacres ; the property the British
confiscate in their ware houses and harbors,
even before war is declared, is universally pri
vate.
These would be among the measures to be
resorted to, to meet the expences and los es
of a war. Hostilities with any nation we de
precate, but it is to a lsvver British agents, when
they ask questions, hat we consider he mat
ter. i'lie idea of war with England, we ho,d
up to ridicule—we must Calculate the means
and not regard die threats of Britain, on this
p iat.— Aurora.

how he was able to give such minute descrip

the venison from the height I hung it, stand

We have nothing parti, uhirly new bv the

she leltthere the 3d of April. Captain King
conti, ms all the particulars of the capture of
Montevideo ; and adds, that thee would be but
little difficulty in re-capturing Buenos Ayres,
which would be attempted as soon as the ex
pected reinforcements at lived. It appears
th .1 the Spaniards were very much dishearten
ed alter ti e fall of Montevideo, because tiiey
thought themselv es perfectly secure within the
strong walls of that place.
It will he recollected that, accot cling to our
last accounts, the British had sent a part of their
troops against Colotiia, which is about 3 ) reagues
to the westward of Montevideo. This place,
captain King informs us, thev took vvi'hou tri

arms at the first summons, and 500 British

As the time was unusual for public worship,

in his country to toul the hell on such occa

messed three voyages at airs. ’s ; that ail
his messmates were raw hands, and knew la
-of dacrncy ; that he sleeted for the
church, but finding the doots barred, had
w hacked and hailed, but nobody answered from
