From Col>bctt\s IVet&fj Regislerp AMERIC.H, An nrticje Which appeared in t)ie Time* pewspaper of Monday last, makes rift regret exceedingly that the regent did not answer tsht part of the Uy * address which expresses about that 4, *a period is put to the ra tttgei bf war ; and % that we may henceforth participate in the advan tages of a f : endly anil uninterrupted intercourse with all the nations of.thfA wo: id;’ I regret thsft his royal high ness did not speak to and echo this &etUimvnt, because the article above alluded to, states that there is to be a Stipulation in the definitive treaty of peace . by which tic allied powers tx. France lire to bind themselves not to in terfere in the ‘war which Kngland may *ir;,r ■ firr.’ on ayaijist the U . States of Ameikab This article is published as tiaffcl X and as having been pub *• It is doubtless whol ly /.X though'it is very .difficult to r’.. un for mils being published ill the ri.pitVJ- ot the Austrian govern ’ inprdfVoJitre intelligence ot this sort tie cm s rPtonlikely to be fabricated. Perh.j*p> the Times newspaper which has cried loudly for no peace with Madison, and has open ly proposed to detach part of the states from the confederation, has fabricated the article itself - by way of feeling the public pulse. He tins as it may the idea exists , &■ the promul gation of it must have u very bad ef fect ; for though it’is impossible to believe that the prince regent would propose any such stipulation, there can be no doubt but the very men tion of it in our public prints will tend to make the Americans more exasperated than they were before. The effect of this mischievous article would have been, by anticipation, completely destroyed by a single word from the regent, echoing the wish tor universal peace expressed by the people of London. 1 am aware, that his royal highness by a speedy adjustment ot all differences with America, which indeed, do them stiver away by the existence of peace in Europe, will greatly disap point the feeders on war and the cne lilies of freedom. # \s to the former they might be satisfied with profits equal to the profits of war , but tjuy latter nothing short of The; extermi nation of the very name of republic will ever satisfy. They see, in the existence of the republic of America, danger little short of what they saw in tile republic of Franee-—They see in it a receptacle for the oppressed and enterprising of all nations. They set in it an example of freedom, mo rality, arid happiness, the bare tho’t of which puts them to the torture. If they could consolidate all the peo ple of America into one carcase, they Would, having an atm sufficiently strong, end arm sufficiently long, cut their throat at- a single gash. Such men, if mert we ought to call such monsters, talk with delight of the sending’ f’ lord Wei ting ton's unoto the Winded States ; they revel in the idea of burning'the cities and towns, the mills and manufactories of that country ; at the Very least They talk ‘ of sot cing Mr. Madison from his seat, and new-moddeUing the government. They endeavor to excite all the hos tile passions here.—They are always ripping up our defeated and captured frigates, without appearing to recol lect th at\v e, at an y rat e defeated & took - imbdrigUttfrcrtk the Americans* Why then urge us to revenge. Can any revenge that we can take do away these pages of history, any moi^. than the dethronement of Napoleon can do away the history of the bat tles of AusterliU, Jena and Eylau l At other times they tell us of the dan-, ger which as manufacturers, we have to apprehend from America, who is now, m her turn, becoming an expor b ter of vfollcn and of cation goods. And why’should not they export woollens and cottons as well as we ? What N reason js there, that they 1 should not become a commercial nation as well as We or the Dutch ? These latter- used to have, exclusive ; lv, the making of goods for the Por tuguese and Spaniards ; but tor my part, 1 sec no harm that would arise from iwil the Americans, who have such abundance of wood, were to supply this article to all the Cat ho le countries ci Europe, as doubtless therowiU now be a gieat call for it, ’ seeing the Pope (to the great joy of , this prQtestanti&bUtitityj is no.w res-- toied to ins See. But, in spite of the justice and reasonableness of* tliesti sentiments, they do not, and M ill not, prevail among the raanu &c turns in England, who look with jealousy hnd hatred towards America ; and perceiving no way of arresting her astonishing progress ip the mai>ufacturifig line, than that of Tearing her to pieces by • war, they viil be at WShr with her at any ex peuce, and at ahy risk. The .ship owneis know well, that they have no chhocc in -a fair with the Americans... 4 hey know that the ]at . ttr can bu.hq sail and tarry at half the price necessary to English ships. ’ ■ffHtf. mercantile marine will,’ breed ships of war. This is an*pbject qf terror to them who look forward, add I are unable to support the idea of tin- J gknd ever, at any time, becoming | the second maritime nation in the world, as in twenty years’ time she., must, unless the growth cf Ameri can naval power can be checked. When we look back to what Ameri ca was in the year 1784, that is thir ty years ago, and see what progress she has made and how that progress has gone on increasing in its velocity, it is impossible i>ot to perceive, that ‘unless she receives some very severe check, she must be equal, at least, to England in naval power, in the course often years.—This opinion is gene ral with those who reflect upon the subject; and therefore it is not as tonishing that some, even good men,, who do not hate freedom in the ab stract, should be anxious to see her growth checked, either by demolish ing her towns, her ships, her means of strength “of all sorts; or by divi- ’ ding her states. There are those too, who, looking at the fearful mag nitude of our debt, and in despair of seeing it reducing by any system of economy, have an idea that it would be as well to venture upon a war of conquest with America, in order to obtain the means to pay off part at least of this deb*. They see in that boundless country lands to sell, and a great population to tax. They im agine they will And means as bound less as the debt itself j and, mad as the Motion of a war upon such grounds may seem to the Americans they may be assured that there are numerous persons in England who entertain it. Then, think of the de lightful prospect which seventeen or eighteen provinces hold out to the shunters after plabes ! Such cargoes of governors, commanders in chief, staffs, port admirals and officers, cus tom house and excise people, attor neys and solicitors general, judges, doctors, proctors, paymasters, com missaries, and, though last not least, bishops, priestsvmd deacons. Only think of this and wonder not, that rthtre are persons who wish for the recolonizaticn of-America. But as tiic subjects of dispute with that country cease of themselves with the war in Europe, let us hope, that all these wil'd notions will be. soon dissipated by the regent’s ministers, who will, doubtless, lose, now, not a moment in giving real peace to the nation. I must confess, however, that I should like to see the ugly paragraph, to which I liavs alluded plainly contradicted by Something like official authority. It appeared in Times newspapers of the 2d of May in the following words : The treaty ,of Chaumbnt is published in the same print of the same day,” from the Vi enna Gazette ; and, after the treaty, there follows, as also taken from the Vienna paper, this paragraph—- u It is affirmed, that besides the conventions which England has concluded with the other allied powers, it has also made a secret agreement relative to North America . By this agreement England has procured from all the other European powers the assurance that after the re-establishment of peace in> Europe, none of them will interfere in the dispute . between his Britannic majesty and North America , and France is also to engage, in the peace to be concluded, to subscribe to the same conditions A This, as the reader will* observe wpll, was first published at Vienna on 9th of Apiil, and accompanied the publica tion of‘the.-treaty of Chaumont. If the paragraph be hot a fabrication here, it is very strange indeed, it be ing well known that at Vienna,: the press is under a rigid inspection and control. Why any such stipulation Its this 1 What nited was there of any, seeing that we have now ho dispute with America, the very subjects of dispute having ceased to exist with the war in Europe. .The dispute related to the taking of people out ofi American ships upotv the high seas upon the ground of being English subjects, and also to the extent of the right of blockade and other matters touching neutrals durtnfe wttn Peace with all nations, of course takes away the very subjects of dispute ; and, WHY, therefore, should England have made a Secret agreement in or der to prevent anvef the other powers, France included from taking part in this dispute, w after fke re-cstablish roent of peace in Europe ?” If I could believe, us yet I in the exis tence of such an agreement, I should begin to fear, that the regent and > his ministers were bent upon, a war of recolonizing, or at least of devasta tion in the United States ; that th'ey had listened to the suggestions of those who, for the several reasons that 1 have stated, desire the desmic k tion or tho, conquest of these states,, and that we were doomeU now to be engaged in a most expensive and bloody war, wi*ii| all the rest of Eu rope enjoyed profound peace ; That the lime Was yet not to arrive wHfeiv our burdens’ when guineas,tt> return, “and and when We were, before Vr 1 died to say that our country was liv ing in friendship with all the world. If this war were to be resolved on by government,/which God it must be confessed, that there would not be wanting the ready means of carrying it deadly effect.— We have-more soldiers, more ships, more horses, arms and ammu nition ; more in short, of all the in struments than we know, what to do with. Ouf army is well disciplined; abundantly > supplied with good officers ; brave in its na ture ; accustomed to victory 1 Our “navy in the same state. The Euro pean war has ended so suddenly, and was upon so large a scale that there /are provisions and stores in hand more than sufficient, perhaps, for a year’s war in America* The under taking, therefore, would be by.jfH6 means chimerical ; though in the ewrf, I think it would fail* If such a war, and for the purpose urged in our public'prints, should be entered on, it is probable that the German Le gion, being sublets of our king, might be amongfu the troops sent out. This is no contemptible army of itself; horse, artillery, engineers ; well appointed, provided and commanded. In short, there will be no difficulty in sending out an army of 50 or 80 thousand men, be sides sailors and marines. To pre vent their landing would be impossi ble; and, it is hardly necessary to say, that the whole of the ships of the states, and aU the maritime .towns, must fall upon the approach of only a fourth part of such an army ; un less the Americans should, previous to its landing, be cured of their self confidence, 8c lay by the plough for a win ley for the use of the musket. I trust in the justice of his royal highness, the regent, for the rejection of such a project; but if it w<*re to be adopted, 1 know it would be popu lar ; and I also see, as every man must, that the powers of Europe, if inclined to aid America,- are unabls to do it* They have, all put together, not fleets enough to face six English men of war. The maritime strength of the whole world now centres in these islands. The Americans, I hear, rely upon the friendship of Russia. Alas ! what have they to offer the emperor of Russia in return for his friendship ?. This is nonsense. —The emperor of Russia has other objects of his attention ; and, besides if we really were to give credit to the article from; Vienna, that point is settled at once. So that if this war were to be resolved on, it would soon be seen, that the politics of the fed eralists, as they are called, have been wrong from the beginning ; and tfiat Mr. Madison, so often accused of being the tool of Napoleon, will have to remind his antagonists, that if A mericain good earnest had taken the side of France a few years ago, she? would not now in all probability have to tremble, least the advice of the Times news-paper should be acted upon. Luckily for the power of En gland, and for the family of Burbon, Mr, Madison and his party’ kept aloof from Napoleon for the sake of a political principle, united with the fear of being reproached with ■plun ging their country into a war on the side of a despot and a conqueror.— But, it /would, ifvthe Times* project were adopted, become evident to all the world, that such policy had been the ruin of the United States. I repeat, however, my confident hope That the regent and his ministers are too just and-Joo moderate in their views to listen for one moment, to any such.ambitious and sanguinary pro ject, against which it is my duty to endeavor to guard them, as I know that there will not be wanting num bers through the press and other wise to urge its adoption. The whole world besides does not’ perhaps, contain so many dreadful enemies of freedom as England alone. It is here alone where we see it re commended to keep the allied ar mies longer m France ; it’ is here alone where we hear it said, and see it promulgated, that Napoleon ought to be hanged with his code of laws about his neck ; it is here alone where we see publications recommen ded to the king of France to punish the late republicans.; it is here alone where the press openly expresses its dread of the king of France being too lenient. This description of persons will never .be at ‘heart’s ease, while the people ot America are free, and while America is a receptacle for the oppressed. And, indeed upon their principle, they are right. If they will insist upon regarding the result of the war in Europe as valuable on ly on the accounts of its having des troyed republicanism in Europe,they arrf*perfcctly consistent in urging a war against,America, and even a war of re-colonization ; for, imless that .object be%ccompli =hed ; unless the cradle of the’revoluiiop become also its grave, little or nothing has b£e;i gained over ifee principle of republic agism.• .■ America now holding out her Tl| manufacturers, as wtdl as cuUi| rators of the soil c£ftnot, i r s *c remain what she is, fail to attract prodigious numbers of Europeans,_qf ail nations, to her prolific ami happy shores.— discontent at the changes which have taken place ; despair of ever seeing that-" Which they before had* hopes of living to see., shame to main on the spot where their hopes have been baffled, and their endeav ors frustrated—‘unsurmoun'table ha tred of powers to which they are compelled to submit, and tp the sup . port of \yhich they are compelled to contribute—the weight oftaxation— the spirit of enterprise-—the hope oi bettering their lot ifrSdl these will, if America be at peace, and the road free, and clear, carry hundreds of thousands of Europeans to her shores- Arlizans manufacturers 61 jjff des criptions, and especially of the most clever and most entefauffsipg men. The augmentation of her population will be hastened—her maritime, and all other means will’ it will be not at all to see her, in ten years m a situation to send forth fifty ships"of the line, manned and commanded as well as our own. I confess, that this will be the natural consequence of leaving her what she ’ now is\ and that,-in any war, as ten years hence, she will be able almost to dictate to us both the time and conditions of peace, there limit to our growth of power, and none her’s. But, for all this, I am decidedly for leaving her to herself* - Her states may divide of themselves. That will make her comparatively weak—whereas by a war we should unite*them much closer than they now arq. We may, too, Jail in the object of the war. After expending’ two or three hundred millions of mo ney, we may be compelled to make peace with her as an Independent Republic ; having greatly weakened ourselves by the attempt to subdue C h er * r arnished our own military re putation, fixed her fame forever in thfc minds of men, and what,,„ in the . eyes of some persons, would be Worse than all the rest established upon a rock, never to be shaken* the princi ples of freedom and of republican government. I have ‘ thus taken a rather extensive view of this subject —but to those who are for a war with America, in order, as the Times calls it, to finish the good work so happily begun in France] ''it thight have been sufficient to observe, in a very few - words, that our choice lies between these two things—either to suffer America to remain the nurse of free dom, the receptacle of the oppressed of all nations, an example of liberty, security and happiness,3 enjoyed un der an elective government, without hereditary rights or established church—or, to continue to pay the property tax, and to see our debt yearly increased byf loans. Which of the two you may take I ready cannot* pretend to say—and so upon this subject, I must wait patiently the result of your profound cogita tions. Since writing the above the follow ing important Declaration from our admiralty has come to hand. The Americans will, I daresay, not think it altogether a joke. * (The declaration alluded ‘to was published in this paper of the \4>th ultimo which renders its insertion here unnecessary . Thus then, we have it explicitly declared, that th6re4s to be u AN AMERICAN WAR.” Now, we shall see, then, whether our minis ters are to be talked out of their views whatever those views may be. The grounds of the,war, on the part of America, wliere. the invasion, as they insisted, of their neutral rights. The peace in Europe, I should have thought put an end to the dispute, it being impossible that neutral rights .should apy longer be claimed.” But it seems, that I was deceived ; I must confess; that the cry for war with America is general in this coun try, now that we have no other pow ers to fight with, and the resentment .of no one to Tear. From America we learn the most surprising fact, that a law has actually been passed to 4£*event the importation of either woollen dr cotton, goods from any part of the .world ! Thus are eight millions of people, who only fourteen years ago, had not a coat or gown that was not carried from England, able to supply themselves ; and must, of course be, in a short time, able to ex port those commodities, and at a much cheaptr rate than wp blycan. Even ten years a<yv, Adrer ica did not profess to'grow atepth part of the wool sufficient for making her woolens. What a wohderfui increase of meaffs ?
