Spain*. To this rbae is a plain answer. Who took the right of depofu from us ? Spain. — sVho now restores it? Spain —Can her hr called which have thtfe great tf fe<fls; or wril the poficflfion of oiff rights bi the lets real becaufc they-flow from the fidelity of Spain, inflead of the justice or the policy of the mighty rtiler of France. It would fetm as if federaiifts expt&ed Rom the Tv.uiarch of Spain a communication fron Buoraparfr, Hut nad he ipok-n jor the sirs consul, would they not have treated what Ik U\ d with contempt l Sud. declarations would have been al furc, and would iaye been ue itrvirerof ridicule. Let rht fit it conlul au- jwer for hin felf. His adions will develope Jjis views. He may, though it cannot be pected that he will} invade our rights. \\ hen he does invade them, it will be time enough to demand rebrefs. And the people of the United States need be under no alarm left rhat demand should not be made. The con duft of the government towards Spain pre sents the htft .Heduf rf ir are sacred. We will pielcrve them ; and v nether the aggnfidr be mighty or Itebie, our course will be theiame.
