Yes— Fiom the lerions manner in which our Government set about reforming those ihsi’.ctul Amies, upon the rotifi-ation of the French Miniller to that tffid, Bonaparte has witnefed the honed in ienii-m of our Administration, and is fatislied that it will not give a fondtion to crimes which would render it a duty in him to puuifh wi h ail the severity of j war. But that iic will demand fome j reparation for those wrongs we mull ht 1 prepared to expert—so thin will be an j other injurious effect, in addition to the many, of the bad coudubt of the enemies of Mr. JUkrfon’s Adminilltation. “ And as there i* no doubt, if a general Peace prevail* in Europe, that Ii is fir ft .itrcn tion will he given toward* he recovery of the Illand of it. Domingo, he vill In tufticiently i 11-ar u, to pay us .1 waft whenever he may } ltafe.” 1 , what lliape T as an enemy? where is bij tranlporls—bis Ihips of war—and all the ttcei era, nectllary to render him ff rrr.idablc to n* ? and what will our svi y goo!/■ imdt the Engliih, be about, who bate to long been in the habit of pi tiding our commerce i But as being at peace with Bona, they will uot inter fere- in our defence—tiue— but they will to his olftnce. Great Britain has uoi very great rslilb, for ft rid v obfei-vnm’ treaties ; particularly when any infringe ; ment will aufwer lome particular pur- 1 pose of bers, and as we may be sure that peace witli Fiance will not deprive tier of tbeule of her navy, we may alto be equally sure that the possession of St. ; Domingo, by B uaparte, will render him no more formidable to the United States than he i at present. For our pait, we thittk his poff.-llion of that fer tile colony, an obj dl devoutly to be wiiltcd by the United States, notwith flandtng fome few of the Brigands friends and eonetpondents, may think to the centralv —wc, therefore, do not care how toon he becomes our neighbor. “ Finn, the difference* which still fuhfilt be twie:. Spain and u, we have yet other tear* to apprehend.” Indeed —and what are thofi; other tears ?—why that “The Blood fucker of Europe will ne ver foi fake ho prey until fie leave* it a bloud lel, curie.” Something worse chan a weasel howe ver—but wc do not conceive how this is to aftett us with ucw fears. When the wolf, who is just icady to devour a lamb, is llaiu by the trolly Matlilf, we do not beiieve that the Shepherd ought to re gard the maltiff as an enemy—now as Spain is the prey—& Bonaparte the blood tucker alluded to—and as Spain is even now, uprelenied a* our enemy, it would kcm as a I'irt of irreconcilcable contra diction of the nature of man, for us to star Bonaparte bscanfe he may render that enemy incapable of doing us further injury. l.ut the do&rines which are generally promulgated by the Courier editor* and their prototype* in the North, are so itrccoactleably contradict o.y, that we need never tie surprised a’ ant pa r adoxical argument which we find in the columns of their papns So fa from affnming that boldness of freemen which they pietend to aecufe the Ad. ministration of wanting, every instance of their conduft, difpl?ys the nioft imbecile minils,and pufilanunous fouls. The nam of Bonapare found* terrible in their ears, and every move he trake6 upon the great chefs board of Europe, fills them with th- nroft alarming fears, yet, fucb is their cot fillcncy, they aifo to hold him in all that contempt, which they would feel for a pigmy. We may, with great propriety, c- mpare them to a pack Cur-dogs, who, on the difeovery of any ex raordina y animal of fivtce afpeA.o pen in full cry, then stick tbetr tales be iwrrn t ! l ir lags arul ft uk ft “ Bonaparte will neeer fcrfake hi* ftpanifb vaffi’s until he has obtained fi oui them all that their f-illy and v r can bellow—wlien, with one Imperial fi.o,ii. will drive Ids Catho lic ..tiy from his thr ,ne, ail fuuftitute in his place, one ol In* own family.” And is futh an eicut to confirm ihofe “other fears” winch auift di ft rtfs our’ minds?—we think rot—on the contra- ! ry, we b lieve the confiqiieuccs will be more fseorabie'fo far a, they Hull con-! cern us, at all eveius th.<i change cannot put our concerns with Spain upou a worle footing than tin y have ever, here tofore rested. The French government, wr believe, has fome regard for its faith and honour, when pledged to another government, but we have experienced ! but little of either, in the Spanifti go- 1 1 verument. i “lie may tliilk that a king of I.ouifiana, ! and the Florida*, inay be neccffary to check l (he extenflou ol Republican principles upon ! ibe (velbvii as !e ha* done upon the Eaitern I . Continent—in wiiicl. case fie may either elevate : 1 to this dignity, one of his whitkered generals, j 1 or one of Ids niritielnkes, or perhap* he might j , rracioufly coud. b i<i to place upon the throne one of his American Idr,liter*, who from his i out(-t in the hloody revolution, and through j all th- protean forms of government, up to the j imperial dignity, has admired his principles, I , his morals aud his religion.” Whatever may be ihe thoughts of j Bonaparte relative to the progress of j ! republican principles on the Western | Continent, we may lafely predift, that |i< long Bi wc (hall contirue firm in our I attachment to thole ptinciplcs they will expand from one end cf our continent to (ire other without ever being fubjedt to h, controul—as ambitious as he in r is l paying but j poorer mplinicut to vine im man heart to suppose that be, as the ex ecutive of a grew and powerful nation, can prove futh a flagitioU3 fwiudlcr as to claim any fir. of * .-ntrou! on r Loinfia i. —a country which he fold himfclf, to the U- Sand for which he has received j our governments acknowledgements to make him a fair and equitable compen- ! fation—die contrail being concluded j and pod, Hi on of the prop.-rtY taken, it ‘t as bonafide American property, as any Hate which compose the union—and ! conftqpiently wc may as well eipecl to find bun eftabliffiing a monarchy in New tiamplhire or Massachusetts, as in Lou tfiana.—Amongll ail his Cainclion chan ges, and protean forms we can fee none that he has aftumed, which ftiould create in our minds, so gross a suspicion of his views. We arc well aware to what part ol the “ corfican’s” condutf those declai rners will have reference, to refute our arguments—but (ii- reference cmi have no analogy to tile paint in qucllion.— fits felting up and pulling down govern, incuts 10 Europe is only the ait of chan ging bis own fyilems in hts own empire, as it were, aud finely we will allow a man to regulate his own concerns his own way. Germany, as a conquered country, Holland, as a fubjetted ftate— nd Italy as a coi quered country, are his dominions, and as luch, it is no concern of ours what fort ot’ government he fiib ftitutes for them, nor how often be changes their governmewt. Louinana would form no part of his property, eveu Nvere he to “ drive hi* Catholic sily from his tiiront”—and add Spain to the lift of his co, qn. Its j it would still be Ame ritsii property and out of the reach of his conlroul u. tek our government fhoulil I in.tappily aj pt Inch mealores in its! conduct towar s I-'anoc, as would pro vi.ke a • oiiuik neeinent of hostilities, a-d 1 in that case we might look out for hi*’ lcgioiia, not only in that quarter, but in ‘ every othei quarter of the United States. 1 VV e ought, therefore, to admire and cilr ni our ddmiiuftratiou for its endca vouiing to preserve the nation from filch a calamity ; -e ought to be pleased in the affucance that our government is pur luing moders e a ;d conciliatory measures in all its concerns nut on'y with France, but witli all Europe—as pcac? particu larly with France, is certain'y better calculated to render us happy and pros | perous, than war i. But it is for the crime of rendering his j country happy and profperousthat those declainurs are so noily in their oppoti tion to Mr. Jeffeifon.-hke Tantalus, they are vexed and chagrined, becaule Mr. Jcfterfon, through his wife ineafures, prevents them from plucking the fruit, which thty have promised themfilves, ot 1 their labouis, and they can avenge them felvcs in no other manner than by abuling him, Hindering his charatter, and pio phefying evil, to alarm the timmid, and furprixc the unwary. The republicans are accufrd <>f|idolL zing Bonaparte and admiring his princi ples, his morals and his religion from his fir ft outset in the revolution up to his imperial dignity. The charge in the manner it is prefered, is fslfe and mail, cious ; neither his principles, morals nor religion has ever formed any fubjed, in themselves, for our idolization or adnii. rativu ; we have idaured him in uo other •potty .f yfin lira ass crave -v-=rrK, r , •> flriilfol grai-i and, and a w ife p-alltic-'-n ; and ** inch <fie whole world moil admire him. From a heap of ruir.3 be has . rec ted oi.e of tlie grandest tmpircs upon earth; effectnally broken down the bar rier which a corrupt ministry had raised againtt the progressing hap;>tnefs of France ; humbled the pride and dtftroy ed the tyranny of Great Britain on the continent of Europe, and compleatly rontrouled the influence of the Pope of Rome ; at) influence that in former agts I has created more bloody war 6, more into, leration, and originated more malTacrees than even the hellish policy of the B.itilh cabinet lias effected ; and if all thcle deeds do not recommend him to the es teem of mankind, mankind mud, indeed, be difficult to please. “ When we turn our *rv from thi* piChire, what a dreary profpebt prefent* itfelf at lio.t.v.

How was the national sovereignty defended at chac memorable ptried when Me. J,y was lent to London as an Envoy Extraordi nary f on th United States ? For twelve years, Great-Britain had kept policffir.n of our Western posts, in violation of the ‘reaty of peace, in cm se quence we were deprived of the benefit of the fur trade wi.h the Indians, and the inhabitants on our defencelefs frontiers were expeffed to all the cruelties, and barbaiitie* of a niolt savage war with the Indians who were instigated to commit those cruelties by the BritilU ; our com merce was plundered on every fi-a, our ports and harbours blacked up by the British fquadronr', out teamen imprcfT-d even in our harbours, and every insult, and indignity, which British infoh.-ce cuuld d'diatc, was offered to ourciniali y. What me-atures were resorted to by the administration to put a period to those infij!tß, and to obtain fatEfattion for it e injury the nation harl fi:/Lined. Why negociation. The chief jullicc of the United States, without resigning his oilier, was nominated and appointed to tins important million—he was charged by the government, to “ procure a friend : ly adjuflment of cur affairs”—did he ‘ fulfill those orders—we can only answer, . that he rendered the American chara&er ten times more infamous, than even that of the Tripolitans, by lift bale ctferliou of the inteiefts of his country and the very ready crMicrflior.s he made to Great-Britain, of eveiy demand the those to nuke. Inftcad of demanding, in the voice of a free and independent Citit en, that reparation which the nature of our wrongs required, he protfrated himlelf at the foot Itool cf the Tyrant’s throne, and with the fiihrniffion of a fl tve, assented to the mc.fi abjedi tcr:n3 which plesfcd the tyrant, to offer. The posts which hr should have demanded to have been immediately and uncondition ally filrrendered together with an ade quate compeiffation for the injury, which their detenfion had uccaltoned the Unit ed States, was confirmed ta the polfciliau of the British for near two years longer, and as a coinpenfation for the favjui done us, in agreeing to deliver them up at the said stipulated period, he agreed that all the Tories, who had returned to England upon the coaclufiou of the re volutionary war, and whose cases ha 1 al ready been decided upon in the States Leg.flatures, should be rcce-ived again into the bosom of our Country, and en. joy all the privileges of free and indepea. dent citizens. Nor was thi* all—another 1 article was filled up, and aimed every 1 advantage that could flow to us from a trad; with the Indians, and the Western Territory was moll fabmifively granted ;to his moft Gracious Msjefty. The Hale claims of British fubjcfls (called ! British debts) against our merchants who had been ruined, in ti* icvclution, were guaranteed and the mode of recovery ren dered prompt, and speedy, while the ho ned demands of our injured citizens, for fpoiliations, committed under ail the cir cumftanecs of the molt atuacious villainy were to be adjudged by five commtffion era, two Biitifh, two Americans, and the fifth to be cbolcir by these four upon the chance of “ beads or talcs,” which in five cases out of Icten, was likely to give the majority to the Britilh, and coiffequeu'.jy qualh the claims of the injuted plaintiff.

So decided, was the coodafj of Mr, Jay, agairft hi* own country, in bis nego ciat'on, tfiit it ff;ould seem he confide: ed himfclf, as being absolutely employed by Great Britain to make a Treaty for her ! interest only ; so far from regarding the real points upon which he was lent te< negocistc, he difcardcd them i.* total, and made Great B.itain the cc.ijiplaii.anc in the cause, with a dttermination to a ward her fieavy damages.

In our treaties, which had been previously • msde, the principle or neutrality so es“ Entiafly ireceffary to cur commerce that i “ free (hips should make free goods,’* hd always been rigidly adhered to, but ; Mr. Jay oaaittod litis principle, as being ; utmectffaiy and >n lieu thereof added one ! more advantageous in its nature and cf j feds to Great Britain, viz. the right of j fcarrhing our vessels even while under I convoy of an American armed (hip.

There was, we blulh to acknowledge it, a cc.tftr.utKinsl majority of voices in the feuate, in favour of the faeritice, and the American chara&er wtts cooftuutionady blaffcd ! every arti cle cf this infamous treaty, with the ex ception of that sweeping clatife, which denied 11s the right of exporting Weft India produce and our own cotton, ia | our own velVels, was agreed to ; rati j hed, and made the iaw of the land.

Independent of the tlifgrace, in which our n iiionnl character was involved, in cuoft tpjcuce of the treaty, we continued to experience new intuits, and new inju ries ; the numerous privileges which it granted to England has continued to operate aganilf our commercial profpc rity to the prefeut d.iy, wtiercas Mr. Jay wa* Lnc to London to negociale a treaty, the fcatis of which, ought to hav.‘ been, honour, juilice, and rerip.ocity. but, palling over this dilgraceful period in our hitloiy, to what part ot’ Mr. Adams’s admmiltration lhdl we turn our view, to behold thole deeds of glo. ry which rendered the national charge* ter so illudriou > are they to be found in his war with Frauce? by r.o means, for this was the effedl of Mr. Jay’s trea ty, and so far trom being an honoura ble tncufure, it was on the contrary a very dalhnlly one ; fhail we find>them in his landing army refolulion. Here again we lee ditgraee, for while France was hemmed in on all Cdes, by the Ger. mans ar.d Ault nans on Und, and the Uritiili and sfmericans on lea, the nation was alarmed with a report that the na tional convention had refolvcd to tnvaJi us ; the report spread like Vlghtnlng, and panic struck, our z , eii( mca b “ to buckle on their armour, threatening vengeance upon the foe. This measure r*ucbed oft ia Various difgracefui and opprelfive l.iiapes, vis. in the (lamp ad, uiretttdS, ledition law, 8 per cent loans, &c. &c.
