From LonujH Fapers* ’ .London, April 15. Among the reports oi the day there is one which we trust wni be conhrmeu* It is said that transput is are ordered immediately to be col lected at Bordeaux, to convey 20- 000 troops across tne Atlantic to Atuenca. We tepeat tnat we sin cerely hope this report is weniound ieu, mi nolhiug is wauUug to set seal to the pacification ot toe world, but f # the severe cuasUsemcnt in tae trail s f atiauuc uest ot atheists alia lelonsj I ‘• * . who have usurped the government of the United States, and plunged the inhabitants into a most unjust, unnecessary and unnatural war. Now that high priest ot jacobinism has been kicked out of Europe, it is time that the literary expounder of the ».iw of nations to the \mericans, Mr. James Madison, should be at tacked with the same weapons which consigned his fellovp jurist to ever lasting infamy. Let Great Britain and her allies now declare them selves boldly—-why temporize with such reptiles as those who crawl a round the feet of Madison ? The great Majority of the population of the United States detest the abomi nable faction which has seated itself in the chair of Washington. Those who advocated the wapwith a view to plunder, have shot their bolts long ago, and tnost of.tneir armed vessels have found their way *to British ports. Those who vo ted for the war from a conviction that the cause was just, [and their numbers were very few] must now see that they overrated the means which the government possessed of enforcing their claims ; they have seen army after army, annihilated [to use Bonaparte's expression] in panada, and they have seen the *• bitof striped bunting” almosi swept from the ocean. There is in fact, no war faction in America, with the exception of a handful of unprinci pled illiterate and ferocious adven turers, who surround the person of Madison in America* Against these wretches, therefore, all the thundtrs of war, and all the .vehemence of diplomacy ought to be levelled * the eyes of the Amer ican people ought to be opened by a manifesto from the other power qf Europe—they ought t© be furs Dished with a powerful army t q separate the clean Jrom the un clean—the Eastern and Northern states will most gladly avail them selves of an opportunity to declare against the permanency of any con stitution which can admit such men as Madison into the ohice of chief magistrate, and most triumphantly will they open their ports once more to our commerce. All our readers may not be aware, but it is nevertheless an incontest able fact, that the number of votes ! for president in each sta:e, is regu lated by the population and not by i property. Thus in the state of Vir ginia, Where slavery still prevails with ali us horrors 1 the electors are slave .mongers, men at all times of no education, of irregular habits, and most abandoned principles.. The smaller, or eastern states, where re ligion, morality, and good order pre vail, to an extent not excelled in any country in Europe, have little or no influence in the election of the pre sident. As Christians we do not wish .to see them make a direct ap : peal to arms against their fellow ci tizens to get rid of their common tyrant, but most assuredly thev have a right to invite the assistance of a power, with whom they are de jure at War, to assist them in shaking of their fetters. The Burke of Amer ica Fisher Ames, thus feelingly dis | cribes the thraldom in vvhict* the ’ enlightened part ol America is held. “ The smaller states are in vassal age ; tliey obey the nod of Virginia. The constitution sleeps with W'asa ington, naving no mourners out tae virtuous, and no monument out his tory.

XXL cy, we have no • difficulty in pre dicting. He will either achirvr his own ruin or produce a c vtl war.—• And this will he one of the bleWmgsr of 3n alliance with Bonaparte. Now that Bonaparte has been con signed to infamy, there is no public’ feelings in this country stronger than that of indignation agatnst the Amer* icans. That a republic boasting of its freedom i should have stooptd to be come the idol of that man's ambition —that it should chosen the pre cise moment when it fancied that H na si a was overwhelmed* to attempt to consummate the ruin of Britain all this is conduct so black so loathsome so hateful, that it naturally stirs up our indignation ; and as we fiimly urged the principle of no peace with Bonaparte , so we must in like man ner, maintain the doctrine of no peace with Janies Madison. A vtry little reflection will render our reasons manifest. April >6. Orders are said to have bee v given to provide transports for 25,000 men which are to cross the Atlantic iron the v Garonne. I’he Unsheathed transports in consequence oft its new order of things are to* be dismised the public service. April 19. Orders we understand hive oeert given bv government for the ship men of 30,0.00 stem! of arms from the tower lor America. Ihe per fidy and injustice of Madison and his F enchijied we therefore trust are about to.receive a vigorous and exemplary chastisement. • It is said to be in the contemplation’ of governaient to urnish bpuih with from 20 to 25.000 troops, to assist in the recovery of Louisiana, .vhich the Spaniards were tricked oat of between the French and American governments—Tne people of Louis iana, it is well known have long been anxious to throw off the American yoke : letters to this purport have been received ,'i.i town which L>ates that a very few British troops would suffice for the deliverance of the country, as the people were near-r lily sick of blockades and embargoes.
