The friends of Bonaparte, ancl the
poor weak, creatures who some
months’ since, Urged the necessity
of making peace with him, now join
in urging a peace witji his tool James
Madison. They abused and villiiied
us then as me fibers of the War Fac~
tiort $ and they do nothing else now.
We appeal to the cqramon sensemf
the country Is it, or is not the die*
tate /alike of justice and of policy,
“ ndt only to chastise the savages in
to present peace, but to make a lasti
ing impression on their future
fears?'* 1 his is Mr, Madison's oyn
lu le. -He can’t complain of us Tor
adopting it. The Morning Chroni
cle, true to its old, anti-British feei-
tells us, we have obtained all
that we went to war Tor.” Why,
we did not go to war for afty thing.
In common parlance., to go to war
for any thing, is’ to commence hosts
litres yvitti a view to obtain some ob
ject,, tip t in our possession ; but it
was Mr, Madison who went to war
with ps, and that in June, 1812.
Mark the time, reader ; for P
speaks volumes, in explanation of
the traitor's motives, It was,. at the ,
very moment when Bonaparte cross
ed the Niemen, at the head of half a
million of spldiers, professedly tb
put the last hand to the Coniincntai
System, for the ruin of G-Britam.—-
I beq, when our fate [as this serpent
thought] hJung trembling in the ba
lancer did he Jet slip ‘ the dogs df
war, to seize and: bring us t,o the
ground. The, scene ia;completely &
wonderfully^changed;!“Bonaparte is
lallen, Madison is disgraced and dis
comfitted, and Great Britain has JheW
means of inflicting ample and de
served vengeance. Lo 1 the ptlpils./
ot liberality , the the
sworn advocates of foreign: perfidy
and treachery, Mep forth and depre
cate the’ very idea of justice, r or of
prudent precaution against future
insult j but they will no more be Ittay
teped to now, s than they were wheir
they so urgently pleaded because
of the Monster Bonaparte; It is
true, that Negociators of great res
pectability have been appointed on
the part of Great Britain to meet Jhd v
Genevese democrat Gallatin* the fu
rious Orator Clay, the surly Bayard,
and Mr. Russel, the worthy defen
der of the iorged, revocation of the
Berlitt and” Milan Decrees, We
have, however, good reason to be
lieve, that the British diplomatists
will not discuss the imprudent non
sense called an American doctrine,
about Impressment **at*d Native Al
legiance, Which was in truth a mere
pretext Tor war on the part of Mr.
Madison; but they wiH enter into,
the true merits'of thequestion, the
unprovoked and unprincipled attack
on Canada; wifi demand lull security
against a renewal of this atrocious
outrage l v they will insist 6n the safe
and undivided possession of the lakes,
the abandonment of the Newfound
land hshOry, and the restitution of
Louisiana, and tlie usurped territory,
in Florida. if, after jdi* the Eastern
Suites should consider, as they well,
ntay, that au amicable arrangement
with .Great Britain is more ior their
advantage than a kubjectibu to the
tyrannical and usurpedtuitliority of
their southern neighbors, *we see no

A gentleman has lately returned
from Montreal, who had an opporn
tunity < of conversing with many of
the citizens and the! British officers
in that town. lie sa'Fs Montreal
swarms with soldiers, a part of Lord
AVellington’s army, which had lately
arrived from Europe ; but the offi
cers with w,hom he conversed hadUjo
idea ,i hat any oftensite roperatidfct

United States .in that quarter, until’
the.’ result of the pending negotia
tions for peace should be

if peace should not take, place to
carry on the war with great vigor,
hut they hoped for as
soon ,as the upvs reached Montreal
that Gen. lj|ow;i had crossed into
Canada- every mane girded oh his
svvprd and prepared lbr action. - A
detachment of 3000 men was imme
diately despatched to reinforce Ge*
neral Rial! ~so that it is probable
General Brown will have warm work
if he does not the Niagara
before the reinforcement arrive.
It may appear .strange to some
that gen.. Brown should be o.dered *
into Canada at all. at this time.—-If
our administration expect a peace^
to grow out of the negotiations now
pending, they would have beeirmore
in the way of duty, to have turned ail
their attention to preparations for
defence, and tp hoye waited the re

The privateer armed schooner Su
rprise lately arrived at Newport, ob- .
tained atsta a file of Corunna papers
to May 21. Thfey contain a long De
cree Ferdinand 7th, (issued at Va
lencia, the 4th May, and g 14) declaring
the Curies of Spain, and the Consti
tution formed under it, at an end.
I he iollowing is a summary transla
tion of this important document j
The decree commences with a his
tory of the proceedings dfthe French
government during the time they oc
cupied Spain. C Fhe King says, that *
on the sth May, 1808 he issued
cree calling the Cortes which con
tinued their sittings- until, January
1810, when the first council of jthe
regency was called, with their pow
ers to September 18/0, when the
general ? and extraordinary C6rtes
was formed and,, installed in the islie
of Leon ; and-at their sitting the
members of the Cortes took an oath
to preserve to him all his sovereignty.
Fhe King proceeds to give a history
of the manner, in which the Cortes
‘were choseoj and says that the Cler
gy and nobles were not called, al
though she Central Junto ordered it
done : The Ist act of the Cortes, was
to depreciate from *his sovereignty,
attributing it to despotism that they
might appropriate it to the Cortes ;
and that this attempt againstthe pre
rogatives of the throne,'was the basis
of their future acts That almost
aU the forms of the ancient Consti
tution of monarchy were innovated
upon, and thaJUUie Cortes copied the
revolutionary and domestic princi
ples of the French Constitution ofj
d79l:—*That to prepare she minds
of the people to receive these inno
vations, through the public prints,
they abused the liberty of the press
to make the royal power odius, giv
ing the,rights of his Majesty tne
name of Despotism—making .synon
imouT the King and Despot, and caL
ling Kings Tyrants:—That they per»*
Routed all those v/Ikt opposed or
contradicted them,.and in ail things
immitated a democracy.
[Here fallows the official Decla
ra* ion of Ferdinand renouncing. Ins
acceptance of the constitution, annul
ling the powers of the General and
> Extraordinary Cortes, and making
void all their acts and decrees ; and
forbidding under the penalty of death,
any of Ins subjsUs giving the said-
Cortes support or countenance.]
The Spanish papers state that Fer
dinand 7th entered Madrid on the
Uth of May, and wasTectavod with
t|«
same day* the king issued a decree
to prevent the abuse of the liberty of
of the press ; and that in future the
«tUcection of persons, appointed |.a pre
vent any publication against ReUgidn,
andagSinst the government, and o*
the persons of those wiio administer
it.
The papers also contained an ad-*
dress from the Metropolitan Churchi
in Valencia, to the King, in, which;
they “ request his attention fjto the.
church, which they say, has been
persecuted by what they call, u the
philosophy sos the ctayf anduthat ;
jthey wish* the re-establishment of the’
Inquisition, which they suy “is tftifc

to the warehouse,without losing a man
on our side. The enemy fired round
shot, shells and rocktts ; but the
militia soon found that they Were ;
not so terrible as they bad at first
supposed, and advanced boldly
up to the shore, and made them
retreat precipitately’ and leave their
plunder behind. Our informer
thinks the enemy suffered considera

and some shot appeared to hit the
barges* When they got to a frigate
which was on the Kettle Bottoms,:
they all proceeded down the river.
