The bafe and foul deception pra&ifed upon the American go vernment, has fur its author either the Brititti mici.ftry or Mr. Erfkine. As we muft have hard chnughtsof c;thcr one or the other and do not think that both were equally con cerned in the plot, we lay all the fin at the door of the former. Mr. Erfkine’s character ranks too high ii the eflimation of all who know him, to allow us for a moment to #c tl at he would be an agent in a treacherous attempt to deceive and to injure the citizens of this country. Neither can it be fuppof cd that Mr. Erfkine is fo blind, fo v/eak and fo little verfed in the na ture and language of diplomatic pa pers as to millake the extent of pow ers which were delegated to him by his matters. If he has committed fui h a blunder we cruft that he will neves more pretend to aft in the capacity of a Minifter rdident, ei ther here or any where t-lfe. “ The probability, and almott the rertainty then in, that, the Britilh Mimftfy refufes to carry into t fredt the arrangement which they war ranted their agent in this country to sna&e —and here mull end-all faith —mil conli-Jehce and all belief in the sniegficy, honor and jufticeof Mr. Canring, and his sfluciaces in th-$ adminiftration. If the pledged hon or and faithful guarantee of a nation are thus made a l’port of, we can no longer truft them, nor any longer believe them to be none ft. Mr. Madifon, without doubt, will lift this bufintfs to the.bottom, anil if his bond! and friendly im-en roiis have been thus made the pan el is to his country's di'’grace, we are fore, that, he toil! purfue thofe ileps that fo critical and difficult a ii ueion requires. He will fUd hiir.felf fuppc. ted by every hone ft wan in America, and in no d.fficul tits that he may encounter, will he be del* t ied by any individual in the country who makes any pretentions to the character of an American ckizen. <f Aft.r all we have our hopes that this bufintfs will not end fo ly us it would fee m ac firft view to promtfe/’ HOME, June ic, 1809.

The extraordinary Confultum, as fo n as dlabliflied ar.d formed, addreiTM the following proclamation, to the city and Roman States • Romans, The will of the greateft hero u nites you to the greateft empire.— It was juft that theftfirft people on earth fliould fhare the advantage cr its laws and the honor of its name, with thofe who in former times preceded it in the path of glory.— When your aqcdlors conquered the \r* vd, f,: h \Tc the count's ot r'l *r c:urokty, and rvlc; iot their glory. , The love cf your profiicrity Fis alone diclat'ed the decree of your un on.

You become a pnn of the French em pire at a time when every ficrilice required-for eftablifhing it, is per- Uittd i you are called to ti.c tri umph, widicruc having partaken in the dangeffc. Throw a glance over the annals of your Hifh-ry , for a long time they contain nothing but the rtci- Uls of your misfortunes. Your natural weaknefs rendered yraj the eafy conqutft of any wani or intent to crofs the Alps. United to France, her ttrengih becomes yours. All the evils which refuked from your weaknefs have ceafed. Unhappy as a nation, you were nor iefs lo as cirizens. The wretch ed nett and unwholrfomenefs which exififd in your cities and country, have for a l >np tiroe back proved to Europe and to yourfclves, that your Ibvereigns, divided between care*? tco oppoftte, found them fclves unable to procure you thatfUicity you are about to obtain. • Romans ! Not conquered, but united , fellow citizens and noc en flaved, not only our ttrength be comes yours, but our laws will in fure your repofe, as they have iu fured ours. Whilft by this union you reap every bl. fling you were in need of, you lole none of thofe you pctfUT- C.J. ’ Rome continues to be the See of the Head of the Church ; and the Vatican, richly endowed, ahd lecure from every foreign influence, as well as above all vain ter reft rial confiderations, will exhibit religion to the univerfe more pure and fur rounded with more fob dor. Other cares, v/iii preserve, in your monuments, the inheritance cf your ancient glory : and the arts, the offspring of genius, encouraged by a great man, enriched with all the examples'and models, lhall no longer be conftrained to leek elfe * w where either the opportunity or the reward of their divine infpirations. Such, Romans, is the future prof pedt that opens before you, and of which the extraordinary Confultum is charged to prepare the founda tions. To guarantee your national debt, enkven your agriculture and arts, improve in every refpect your pre fent deftiny ; in fhort, to prevent and difpei the tears which the reform of abufe have fo many times Caufed to be Ihed *, fuch are the orders, inch is the intention cf our auqult fovereign.
