though fome little bands trembled

that they owe nothing to tiie juflice
which is due to all other men, and
that in eonlideration of their per
sona! hatred to Napoleon they are
authorifed to rob the French of
their sacred right, of rhtir indepen
dence ablolute and without limit, in
the choice of the emperor. Vifto
ry has several times placed the ex
igence of the powers of the north at

any of them from the lilt of nations.
is it the wilh of Alexander,

to Jispenfv with our rendering to

his interefls and thole of his mon
archy, his son in law, & his grarid
fon, wifh\ to prove to tiie world, by
the mol! astonishing a,nd authentic
of ail examples, that among!! the
molt hedious of all the fer.tiinents
of human nature, hatred is that
which has the greatel! iway over
k’ags ? The people are not difpof
ed to believe it; and in this age of
revolutions, it might be better to
take care and difi’uade them from
it. In short my Prince, when it
fhali be beyond doubt that France
is rtfolved to difp ay all her forces,
so espufe all her deltic.ies, to sup
port cn his throne, the man who is
the objfecfc of her pride, who alone
seems capable of guaranteeing all
the exiftencies and all the relations
proceeding from the Revolution ;
will the Princes at the Congrels
make the attempt perhaps a vain
one, to tear him from his throne at
the price of all the torrents'of blood
which this new’ war wiil cause to be
spilled ? What pretext will cover
so many Outrages on reason, on
justice, andpn humanity ?—They
pretend that Napoleon cannot of
fer any guarantee with respect to
the durability of the peace of Eu- !
rope; but wnat a itrange mode of
seeking this guarantee to’ com
mence their research by plunging
Europe in all the fury and horrors
of war! On the contrary, every
thing announces, every thing ellab
lifhes, that any prince in Europe at
the prelent time, cannot give this
guarantee of peace in the fame de
gree as Napoieon. No one has
experienced so many dangers and
vicissitudes of war, to many unex
pected and terrible reveries, as Na
poleon. It is in fact anew life, as
well as anew reign which the em
peror Napoleon commences, after
having underltood, during a year,
in the lnffand of Eiba, as <t tomb,
every tmng which truth as well as
hatred, tias told m Europe reipect
ing his firtt reign and his hrit life.
In tine, my prince, France na& giv
en tuirlcU anew eoultitution, which
wiii not oe a vain charter it is no
longer puliible to ule lubtlety and
deceit. —l ne iorce of things wid
necfeffanly bring order and jultice
into ioeiai litS Our conititution
comtitut-s two chambers.— The fit
tings in both will be public, i hus
France and Europe wili underhand
every thing that will be laid on
peace arm war; and every war
which fhail not be one of j uftice
ana evident necessity, will paraufe
with terror tne man who would
kindle it in Europe, already bleed
ing from lo many wars.
*• ihe eoaidoed powers plume
themlelves on the number
of men they can collect. But per
haps they may have calculated er
roneoufiy—they may be deceived.
If it were true, as they give out,
they nave 900,003 men fit for ac
tion. France, who has already
500,000, will lboh have a million.
I leek not to exaggerate the exul
tation which, m a similar war, will,
fix all the fenles, and the enthu
fiafin with which their iouls will be
transported. Every man in France
wili become a soldier: every arti
cle of iron wili be manufactured in
to a fabre or bayonet, or musket;
every where as in 1793, will be ei
tablifhed manufactories of fait petre,
of powder, and of cannon. From
the Rhine to the Pyrennees, from
the Mediterranean to the ocean,
the diversions of the peasants on
Sundays and holidays, will be mili
tary exercise; every commune
every village will be transformed
into barracks ; and the entire pop
ulation of the empire, arrayed as
the national guards, will be prepar
ed so live in tents. Already does
France resound with the war song,
in which the acquirers of national
domains, who harbor fears for their
property; the friends of reason,
who have been threatened with the
return of superstition; the military,
whole glory they have wished to
tarnish ; in short, all classes of cit
izens ‘ repeat with enthusiasm their
ardent expreflions of passions the
moft dear and the moft terrible.—
In this war, which will be in fact a
‘/fer *
crusade against the independence
of a nation, tfte> contagion of the
principles of the French revolution
may pass with people too ignorant
and too barbarous even to under
hand their own interests On the
approach of the emperor Napoleon
and his armies, marching with an
imation to the songs of liberty,
kings may be abandoned by their
TUbjefets, as dv Bourbons have been
by the soldiers on whom they de
pended with much confidence.—
Every throne will be overthrown
before nations will learn how to
govern them ; and how many e
vils will be the work of princes,
capable by their virtues of render
ing happy the greatest part of the
world! How much will those
monarchs and humanity be indebt
ed to you, my prince, if, by the
yvifdom of your councils, you can
dissuade them from a determina
tion in which they oppose interest
and passions over which they ought
to have no control I have only to
renew, with the moft lively expres
sion, to your highness the aflurances
of the highs ft consideration.

Brown, who came in her, brought
orders to the commanding fficeron
this Nation, for the troops which
had left, and which were preparing
to leave this place, for different
dedinations, to return and continue
here until further orders In con
fquence of which the t oth and 12th
regiments which had embarked
were landed. The'sth had pro
ceeded too far to be countermand
ed. The h had failed for Sack
ett’s Harbor before the orders were
received.- Trie 16th has been or
dered into Fort Niagara. The
cause of this movement is not cer
tainly known. It is, however,
probably occasioned by the expect
ation of a war with the wei v ern In
dians, who have lately manifefted
a difpofitiori to renew holilites
The British, we underftaud, delay
surrendering Mackinaw; and the
Indians are collecting a large force
in that vicinity, *and threaten to
take pofTeffion of that post as soon
as the British leave it
The new 2d and sth regiments
are expected here in a few days*
from Sackett’s Harbor. The del
tination of these troops has been al
tered in consequence of threatening
appearances to the westward.
Major General Brown, we un
derftand is expeCted here soon.
It is our painful duty to an
nounce the death of Seaborn

this place, who died on Monday

in the 57th year of his age.
