which of tnefe opinions sre moft
correct ? Upon the ifiue, we are
perft&ly willing to trust the suc
cess of Mr. Madison, and upon this
issue, we believe that the mind of
the people is unalterably formed.
;t is only necefiary to put this ques
tion, to decide between the two.
Are you in favor of the treaty flgned
by Mr. Monroe ? If so, you will,
of course, give him your vote, as
upon this fubjeCt, he fiands fixed and
committed in its favor. If you are
not in favor of that rejected instru
ment, you will, of course, vote for
Mr. Madison, as he fiands fixed and
committed against ir. Here, then,
is the mighty argument agfmft Mr.
Madison, that he is .oppoled to a
treaty which every body admits is
deficient on the moft important and
i: terefting fubjeCt. Thus it is, that
you unfairly endeavor to frighten
t he people, by insinuating, that if
1 e is ele&ed, the existing evils will
not be removed —That be fiands
fiixed and committed on all questions
invoiced in foreign relations. This
argument proves nothing but an
extreme want of candor, that you
wish to fucced more by inuendo
than argument. If you are so much
in favor of Mr. Monroe’s treaty*
why do you remain in ambush ?
Why not come forth openly and
plainly, and advance your reasons
of attachment to this treaty ? The
people would then underhand you,
and they would be better enabled
to decide whether Mr* Monroe
ought to be elected. This is the
true and real point of enquiry.—
This is the ground upon which the
hope of belief is anticipated from
the known opinions, conduit andchar
alder of Mr. Monroe. The antici
pated relief, then, from Mr. Mon
roe’s eleftion, would be a confirma
tion of the late treaty —a remedy
ten thousand times worfc than the
disease.
Men. It is admitted that the
treaty is riot luch a one as could
have been wiflbed, but then it was
the very bed that could be pro
cured. Great Britain will never
fuffer us to did ate what treaty we
please. But then again, she agreed,
that although she would not enter
into any express stipulation upon
the fubjeCl of impressment, Ihe
would iliiie orders to Hop or re
fin'd the practice. n>
Mad . Thus flue con felted the
ir.juftice of the principle, but refut
ed to fur render it in any other way,
than to depend entirely upon her
good humor, grace and courtesy.
Because we cannot didate a treaty
to that, or any other country, it is a
poor miserable rcafon, that we
should remain tame and fubmiflive
to perfidy and violence, and fee
our fea-faring brethren kidnapped
upon every occasion, without a
murmur. That because lhe will
not be just, we must give up to her
injuft ice. As to the informal un
der ft an ding by which her m ini Her s
privately confenteu to relax in her
impressment, it is the merest mock
ery that ever was played eff upon a
minister, and indeed, Mr. Monroe
had scarcely gotten to the feat of
government, before this informal
underfilending was denied by the Bri
tifti mmifers. Thus, it is evident
what our fituacion would have been,
if this treaty had been ratified. It
is to be prelumed, that after this
fire fib evidence of British faith, that
Mr. Monroe, if he were eleded,
would not again receive your Honor
my Lord, as a treaty, when not even
ftals and parchment are fufficient.
We do not believe that Mr. Mon
roe would, but this is the fhndy em
inence upon which his friends wilh
to place him. We muff take them,
however, at their word. And we
hope that every voter, on the 7th
of November, will bear this ques
tion in his mind-—Monroe with a
bad treaty, or Ivladifon without.
They both ft and fixed and committed.

Extract from ihe Report of the Min

Sire— l have the honor of laying
before your majesty the Hate and
and fituition of your majesty’s ar
mies in Poland, in Prussia and in
S!dl'i, in Denmark, in Albania, in
Italy, Naples, and in Spain. I an

the ccafts, on rhe Rhine, and in the
interior. Your majesty will per
ceive that France never before pos
sessed more numerous or better ap
pointed armies, and they were ne
ver better kept up, or better pro
visioned.
Notvvithftanding, however, the
different events which have taken
place in Spain, have occasioned a
pretty considerable lots, in confe
quencc of an operation as incon
ceivable as it is painful, of the di
vision under Dupont s vour msjef
ty has notified the resolution you
have taken, of affembllrg more
than two hundred thousand men
beyond the Pyrannees, without, how
ever, weakening either the armies
in Germany, or that of Dalmatia.
For the attainment of this end, a
levy of eight thousand men appears
to be indispensable.
The Minister concludes with re
commending the calling out of the next
Conficription.

Yesterday morning the packet

Washington.
Capt. W. informs us, that the day
before he left Havre, news reached
that place, that the Emperor Bo
naparte had directed the minister cf
marine to flop all proceedings a
gainst American vessels until further
orders; that as far as he cculd dis
cover, our negociations with France
had not experienced any recent
change ; —’that Bonaparte was fend
ing a very powerful army into
Spain 5 and that the other continen
tal powers remained in a Hate cf
tranquility.
Mr. Atwater left London on the
25th cf September; and informs
us, that it was the opinion
of the merchants in London,
that the British orders in coun
cil would not be speedily revoked.

The preparation of the apparent

in agitation for fome time past, is
now nearly completed j the time is
improved with the greatest dili
gence in order to facilitate their de

moft of which are of the line, and
190 tranfperts, with flat bottomed
boats built on anew conftru&ion,
for the purpose of landing troops in
shoal water, 80 of thole are com
pleted, and others preparing with
rhe urmoft dispatch ; 15,000 troops
are ready to embark, and waiting
the arrival of a reinforcement, which
failed from Portsmouth the 3d of
August under convoy ; 60 horses,
with equipments for flying artillery,
attended with infantry and camp e
quipage for 30,000 men, were all
embarked prior to the 20th ult.—
There are various conjectures rela

the opinions cf many are that the
