The concern of the "Empeior on tins occasion is the more lively, as he can by no "means reconcile the violation of the ten itory of the Elector -of 'Baden- to those pnnciplefi ot . justice ana pro priety which are held' uacrcd among Xations. and are the bulwarks of their reciprocal relations.

To the CONGRESS of tka UNITED STATES. in SZNAT2 and - HOUSE of REPRSSSNTATVES, Convened. WE the subscribers. Planters, Mer :hants, and ether inhabitants ol'Loui iana, respectfully approach the L'e islature of the United States, with i. memorial of our rights, a remon trance against certain, laws vyhich .qntravene them, and a petition for nat redress to which the Taws of na .ure, sanctioned by positive stipula tions, have entitled us. Without any agency in the events vvhich have annexed our country to he United States, we yet considered ihem as fortunate, and thought our liberties secured, even before we knew the terms of the cession. Per suaded that a free people would ac quire territory only to extend the blessings of Freedom that an en lightened nation would never destroy those principles on w hich its govern ment was bounded and that their representatives would disdain to be come the instruments of oppression, we calculated with certainty, that their first ?ct of sovereignty would be a communication of all the blessings they enjoyed, .and were tjie less anx ious to know on what particular terms We were received. It was early un derstood that we were to be Ameri can citizens ; this satisfied our wishes, it implied every thing we could de sire, and filled us with that happiness which arises from the anticipated en joyment of a right long withheld. We knew that it was impossible to be cittzens of the United States. without enjoying personal freedom, protection of property, .md, above all, the privileges of a free .represen tative government, and did not there fore rmiigme that we could be- de prived of these rights, even if there should ave existed tho promise to impart them ; yet it was with some satisfaction we found these objects se cured to us hy the stipulation of a treaty ; and the faith of Congress pieuged to us tor thetr uninterrupted enjoyment i wefcxpected thm from yuur roagnaiiimuy, Dutwere not ais- pleysed to see them secured to us as a right, and guaranteed by solemn engagements, . With a firm persuasion that these engagements wouldvbe sacredly ful- nueci, we passeu unoer your juris ciiction, with a joyM bordering on en- muuisia, uoramea to me inconve niences of an intermediate dominion without a murrrrUr, ad saw the last tie that attached us to our mother country, severed without regret.

We could not bnng ourselves to believe that we-Jjd so far mistaken the sti pulations in ou.r favour, or that Con gress could so iittle refrard them, and live power then is vested in the Go vernor alone, the council operates, a cloak to conceal the extent xf hU authority, to screen him from the o dium of all unpopular acts to avpiu all responsibility, and give us the faint semblance of the representative assembly, with so few of its uistin guishing features, that unless the name were inscribed on the picture, it would be difficult to discover the object for which it was intended. Taxation without representation, an obligation, .to - obey laws, without any voice in their formation, the Undue influence of the executive up on legislative proceedings, and a de pendent judiciary, formed, we, be- lieve, very ptominent articles in the list of grievances complained of by the United Slates at the commence ment of their glorious contest for freedom ; the opposition to them, pe aty wis theu iat no &ch wstru. are to inrarwiv sup;)osed , r ment, wnicn declares that i be admitted as sco as c ore i tie to the DrinC5n!f r,r . dilution.

Uisavowing any language mit tnat of respectful remonstrance ; disdain ing any other but that which befits a manly asiertiou of our right, we pray leave to. examine the law reeling Lousiana into two territories, and providing for the temporary go vernment thereof," to compare its provisions; with our righUt and its whole scope with the letter and spi rit of the treaty which binds us to the United States. The first section erects the country south of the 23d degree, into a Ter ritory of the United Sutes, by the name of the. Territory of Orleans. The second gives us a Governor appointed for three years by the Pre sident of the United States, the fourth vests in him and in a council also chosen by the President, all Le gislative power, subject to the revi sion of Congress Specially guar ding aginst any interference with public property either by taxation or sale. And the fifth establishes a iu- diciary to consist -of a Supreme Court having exclusive criminal and original jurisdiction without appeal, for all causes above the value of 100 .lollars ; and such inferior Courts as the Legislature of the Territory may establish ; the Judges of the Superi or Court are appointed by the Presi dent to continue in office four vears. This is the summary of pur Consti tution. This is the'sxcompHshment of a treaty engagement to 44 incorpo rate us mtorthe Union, and admit ustb all the rights, advantages, and i m muni lie s 'tfi American Citizens." Andfthus is the promise performed which was made by our first magis trate in your name, -that you would 44 receive us as brothers, and hasten to extend to us -a participation in those invaluable rights, which had formed the basis of your unexampled pros perity." - Ignorant as we have been repre sented of our natural rights , shall we he called on to shew that this go vernment is inconsistent with every principle of civil liberty. Uninformed as vve are supposed to be of our acquired rights is it neces sary for us to demonstrate that this act does not 44 incorporate us in the Union" that it vests us with none of trie "rights" giues us no " advanta ges;' and deprives us of -all the 44 im muninrs" of American Citizens.

W here, we ask respect fully, Avhere is the circumstancje that is to exclude us from a participation in these rights I Is it because we have not heretofore enjoyed them ?
