have lamely borne such a'rocious acts of pirati

of her conduct towaids us will identify, ai d on
the common highway cf all nations too, he fil
thy agen-s still pretended that we should swell
■up and quarrel with a country, for giving fair
notice ot what she mea'it to do in her own j:orcg.
Oh! abominable! This fact needs no com
ment. It gave too convincing proof of British
cori up'ion in some ; and, to say thelea.st, of
British pietliliction in others.
I am well aware that it has been customary
■with England’s agents to bawl out, most laugh
ably.. “ Fiench influence, French influence,”
whenever Americans offer, to speak m pal

selves, from such a contemptible charge,evince
. any inclination to subject America to thc vil
lainous impositions ot British location. -None
but tories in tenuraent mcd;e, and even they
fio not believe, the charge of French influence.
The accusations, or opinions, of such menials
are unworthy of a patriot’s attention. The roar
of French influence was i aised, because the go-
* vernmetd would not ag; ce that England's navy
should protect our laws. Now, every true
American -would have blushed indeed, if our
government had degraded itself by the accep-
,ta\ice of such an insulting proposition. It
would have been a spontat eous acknowledg
ment of inadequacy to carry our own muni
cipal acts into efl'ec 1 . It would have formed a
belligerent alliance between- Amerca and
England against France and her allies. In
the name of all that is reasonable, what good
could we expect from such an alliance i
Tell us Ftussra, tor thou hast known,

while Mtnuncz's rights are not scot tied and
;tui ipied'on by such despotism, here is a sub
ject much more worthy cfher patriotic sons at-
teii'ion. rlt is the-tyranny cf England on the
seas, which does effectually, vhaliv, arid excru-
ciatit-gly wound the honor, the sacred honor, as
well as the inteiests of America. The d .'min-
t ns ofFihncc have never been so extensive

cny modern queen of the seas Subdued omn-1

re/ ublzcar, citizens, who their purple robed mas- ,

tremendous concern to America, that her;

with the petfidious violation of every moral law

all other nations, from the fair p3’.h of legal
obedience, into the dismal vortex of trsachery
