It is'suggested to me that the words, “ pettift gging insignificance,” as applied to R. Smith in my last, have been construed as an illiberal reflection on the bar i'n general.

INow, after we have lamely borne such a'rocious acts of pirati cal out i age from'England, os a brief retrospect 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 liation of rite continenial system. Our •government* IioveveVy nor cm coiini?'yoen 5 will never, to exonerate itself, or them 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, what are the resuhs of British amity in war? .Say, Denmark i what ate the sweets which emanate from British friendship ?

The d .'min- t ns ofFihncc have never been so extensive under Bonaparte, as ihey wee under Charle- s gne. Scripture affords us auihority, that conquest gives a right to te.-*w<ory.

It they a e to’be under royal do- i minion, it can be a matter of no vast concern to • re/ ublzcar, citizens, who their purple robed mas- , teis are.

Without •ye will soon add dreadful examples, (but tous'a calculation on smuggling these into the coun try, sire well knows no man in America would trade for ar.y quantity of them. Not satisfied with the petfidious violation of every moral law herself, she endeavors to allure the people oi all other nations, from the fair p3’.h of legal obedience, into the dismal vortex of trsachery bkeherown. The necessity of making the smuggler’s punishment severe, at this eventful period, becomes, therefore, doubly requisite.'
