But has not France given suffici ent ciuse tor wr lt nd why not make wr upon her too, if it should be only to show our impartiality ? , A. The crimes or Franrr? would be considered at sufficient cu.e for war by a Monarch r buf J republic will not p to war while there is any hope of e- cjuitabJe accommodation without ; and again, it wnald certainly be bad policy to 'go to war against both at the same time. If we can believe tha Fanc would only stend hy s a neutral during our contts: with Britainf -'od 'h.a Wc hive aright to believe sb wildo at least, and in that case our privateers may f enture with a probability of sue ce&s into European seas. But in cate of a war against both, they could not ven ture from the American seat, vhhoo. running great risk. As to shewingy.ur impartiality, we have shewn that um ciemly already ; but when we come to fight, we cannot be bound to fight to a disad rantage", merely to save, appear ances. Q But Row was Britain first in the wir.ng ? A The origin of our pre seot diffi cultirs, was occasioned by the unrea sonable obstruction of a commerce which we had enjoyed, and which wa sjmctior.ed by the laws and usages of nations -we had a right to trade as u uh1 w.th the colonies of the belliger ents : of ccurse we exchanged our prv dtlce for the produce cfthe Frtn.h W. India colonies ; (his pi educe ias hnded "m te United S ate; wa 'e-sipped to Francr. In 1804 cd 5. Urmia took upon herstlf to drcid , that this, com merce should not be curried on, and ar. immense araoo'tof prper.y of our ci- irn wys crtpturtd and confiscated up cni his Jif&idc-rine, which wa an evi .dent vin;tio'n jf the teuttal rights of he.-Ij Stes. On the 16th day of May, 1&06, bur roiniiter at the Briiiah court received a note informing h;m of the blockade of the French coast from the E'bc to Brest inclusive, an extent rf coast of at least 1000 miles ; but this hew blockade was not extended v to - American vessels la den with;the actual produce of the U. States, except between the port of O st end and the Seine. This order of blockade, being a violation of the laws and usage of nations, was met on the part of Francr, by another, which was equally a violation, called the Berlin de creet, which declare the British isles and possessions in a state of blockade. England, most- homanely to favor both France and the U. States, on the llth of November, 1807, made an or der admitting a trade to France, by the vessels obtaining licence in a British port; upon which a heavy tribute 'must be paid France In her torn, decreed, that any ship of a neutral nation, that should thus stoop to pay , tribute to Bri tain, or even suffer itself to be search ed, should be considered as denationali sed, or converted into a British vessel, and confiscated. On the 7th of Janaa ry, 1807, tn order of cotincil was pass ed, prohibiting; 11 commerce between the French ports or. the ports of her de pendencies ..Thus wis. Britain first in the wrong not enly taking the lead, but persevering therein. ' , - ! " . ' QrBut is there not a partial attach ment to France 2c evident hospitality to Britain' to be discovered In the' United States government and a great portion ef theciuztns - ' ' ' y ' A There has not in the. measures of government, been any partiality ; that a greater enmity Exists among the citi zms towards B i ain tiian France,' may be, but aucK' enmity cotildl not exist without Just cause i a vast majority jof the citizens of the United States are the descendants of British parents. ,We 1 are certainly ,nure immediately con nected with Br t.iih,by the strohgr:st tieo in nature, than to France ; but by her greater injustice and cruelty ot conduct towards the U. States, she has broken these bands assunder. that should have ever firmly round thm toeether And the cause i of the difference ot attach ment is owing to circumstances easily explained. The merchants, -and their adherents in the course of trade, h'-ve Tormed connexions vrith Britain,' in I which the eense of past injuries are lost and new attachmtntsformed. The mer chant findsinterest In commerce with Britain much greater than with France, resentment dis before that all power fut incentive interest ; here, is the ori gi of the .diffirciice, or rather the two Prien the U. States, Q. But what Should gve rise to such implacable enmity' to Britain more than France: certainly not merely the pri ority of offence? A. Not altogether, but as the priori-' y has been the cause i f alt our present difficulties it has become a'chic f caur .ru wnen we tate a retrospective: view of the conduct of Britain towards he U. Sutes, it is impossible to sun p'Ck6 indignation, and from hence an c- vet lasting enmity exists that timeitsell will scarcely obliterate. Q. What extraordinary enmts b-ve he a uish been guilty of, more I nan the Frvn:h r A. By a review of the conduct of B itain from the commencement of the dispute which ended in th; severance of the now U. States, from the B. itiah crown, it will appear, that the, British government has been actuated by a rancorous hatred and jealousy at the nsing prosperity of the United States and have done all in her power to clip ihe wmis of her prosperity : but the scenes of cruelly which she has exer cised upon us, have been the most dis guiting, without recurring to the origi i. a 1 cause of dispute, which brought on the revolutionary war, we will only n (ice a few of the leading acts which hve frequency , and still con'inue to be cause ofcomplatnt and di&gu.v. The manner in which that war was prosecuted was truly disinisting. The employmtnt of foreign irv)ps, Ahe cru el treatment of pnsoners; the'wanton destruction of both the lives and pro perty cf our citizn s by every iiv-ans in he r powei ; but above a-i 1 the e'm ploy - tntnt of the Indians, whoc known rule. of warfare, is an undistinguished de struction of all ages aod sex, from the infint in 4 he cradle, to the most gtd , the consequent scenes of devastation and blood-shed committed upon our western fromiers ; witness, the carnage and conflagration of the beautiful settle ments of Wyoming to view the scenes of crueltjr and blood-shed, many whole families shut up Jo their houses and burnt to fashes together; think of pa rents taking a last embrace of their ten der offspring amidst the flames. View the packets of scalps taken from infants of a span, ' to the grey hairs upon the borders of the grave,' sent as a present to the British monarch, ;' All these acts of barbarity committed , by the direc tions) and often in the presence of, Br U tish officers. But it will be said, this tjs jusfly a war of. extermination, we were rebels, and ought to be treated assoch'l Be it so, but when that government had found it necessary to acknowledge us, sovereign trej and independent states, she should then have ceased hostilities, tnd complied with her- engagements ; but: this she did not do, she still kept possession of posts within cur territory, and continued to incite the savages to war upon our frontier settlers this they continued to do without assigning a reason, for ten or twelve years and until Wayne carried a campaign to the very walls of the British garrison. The unfortunate savages pow learned by ex perience what credit was jdtie to'those inhuman incendiaries. The U. States now obtained another , engagement to withdraw' her troop from the posts withio out terntprr : but what has been her conduct since ? IHer subjects,' who are traders, land ; creii oftrif are . still exciting the Indians to hostUitv : This is not .cbniectureV 'ItTIr proved 'bT - the sUtemcot lately made by Gomo, a Po t tawatamie chief in his talb with Gvf act' ihould be pA5sevd;tpfuY ; Howard j arid even ved. It has been tisb jnfficeri hae savages, advisine them toJteep. their eyes upon them, and when they atrtWW tor be readyand strike talso, ano it ap pears, that they are constantly furnish log them with aims, 8cc. for carrying on a war against us,, not 'jss merchan dise, but as presents, air this 'appears to be a fact,: Gov Craig s staiexnents to the contrary notwithstanding, i ? To recount alltlvc insolent outrages committed upon the fla ofthe United States would be too K-ngthy a lessor, hut to sum up the whole in as few words as possible, -she continaes to capture and cotifiscaie our property at seaj;upon the most frivolous pretexts'jshe continues to impress our ekizens into her service, un der a pretended r ght' to reclaim her subjects. It is a misfortune that too many of her subjects, wh emigrate hi ther, 'bring wi h' ihem the same pride and haughty disposition ; curbing and despising every thing American ; wh -. . t t m - - . . . '4 . . P mey extoi to tne sktes everv ining ui British origin. These ouirag cus crimes and abuses have implanted in the breast of every real American, implacable ha - red to the British Government, and ii is in a d giee extt nded to ihe subjects.. vj. What are we-to gam by a war with Britain ? fi. We shall expel her agents and in cendiaries from the continent, then we may expect a permanentpeace with our savage neighbors. We shall render her dependent upn us for a wate ing place, or a harbour where she can take shelter from a storm when in the American keas. Her islands W:ll bedependent up on 4is, and she cannot aff!;rd them pro tection or q'iell a rebellion, and of course they will be at their own disposal and our mercy. Under these Circumstance we may calculate upon her. friend ship, but never without. FROM TEE BOSTON, CHRONICLE. PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE. The following propositions tovestore Peace by the" election of a President, Vice :P resident, Senate and Repress u tative?, are off. red to tte consideatmn M the independent, citizens of ihe -.b States, viz. 1 Let the Prescient and Vice-.PreMd.ent be elected exclusively by the Ess x Junto The Senate, by the federal in s ;rance offi es The H use ofR.prt sentaiives hy the direction of thi fede ral banks. The executive and legisla tive branches thus constituted, let no measure be adM(i;cd?unfes sptcia ly di rected by English merchants, stare-keep' ers, shop-keepers, arid' a tew orthodox clergymen. Under this wise admini stration, there is every probability tha peace between Great Britain and thti United States would immediately take place. As a prelimitia:yto which, the British would . probably propose, t ha every merino sheep, should be sacrifi ced, as their growth serves to jiicreast the American manufacturei of clothing. It would reasonably be urged that while they produced such an abundance oi wool, that British manufactures would, greatly depreciate, and thereby injure the nation who is the u Strong bulwark of our religion." . Orders in cou icii" would be issued to slaughter these ob-; noxious creatures, and theirquarters tq be hung up in the Boston maric?rt trophies of the' happy restoration of tommertiat intercourse between America and htr patent country. The next bu siness proposed would be, declaring the Pittsfield cattle show tobe a riotous and treasonable assemblage the promo ters of it a body of insurgents, and the more effectually to prevent all future exhibitions; of the. kind, all the cattle should be seized by. the government, and set) t into. Halifax and other places where th British, wanted supplies for their armies' and navy. To aid, in this laudable plan, encouragement should be given to destroy all manufacturing es tablishments, either by.
