PUt several of our islands, lately among the moll m t

which these things have been effected, leave our co
lonies equally endangered in peace as .n war It
is thettfore with (hi. general fylem (ps which the
Wsfl-India scheme is but a ramification) that all
antient eftablifhmeuts are essentially at war for the ]
f £tTt been declared from the g
throne, and in effcft the principle ha, been adopted die
by parliament, that there was no way likely to ob- he
tain t peace, commonly fafe and but ro
through the antient and legitimate government long
' established in France. That government in its law- dui
fulfuceeffion has been folewnly recognized, anrf [h ,
.ffiftance and ptoteftion as solemnly proofed to v.f
those Frenchmen who lh«uid exert themlelves m #f
Jt. federation. The political opinion upon which no
this vecoe**tion was made, is very far from being Bu
weakened by the conduct of the new-invented go- «h.
,ernme«*. Nor are our of good Taith,
pledged on ftic'u ftrorig motives" of policy to thole
who have been found in their allegiance, diflolved ; mi
' nor can they he so, until fairly diredkd efforts have h«
been made to secure this great fundamental point. a [
None have yet been employed with the imalleft de- f 0
jrree of vigour and perfcverance. «"
* 7 th, Because the example of the great'change ™
piacie by the ufarpauon in the moral and political
world (more dangerous thirt all her conque#») is >]
by the prcfent procedure confirmed in all its force.
It is the firft fuccefsful example furniftied by history
of the subversion of the antient government of a pj
eteat country, and of all it* laws, orders, and re- ge
licrion, by the corruption of mercenary armies, and «
by the feduftion of a niultitude, bribed by confu
tation to feditios, in defiance of the sense, and to ne
the entire deftruftion of almost the whole proprie- g»
lory body of the nation. The fatal effe&s of this
•sample must be felt in «very country. New means,
*«w arms, ne* pretexts are furnifhed to ambition ;
•lid sew perfonsare intoxicated with that poiion. °*
Bth, Because our eagerness in suing for peace J"
may induce the persons exercising power in France j,
•rroneoufly to believe, that we aft froi» necessity, th
annate unaETe to continue the war, a penuafion,
which, in the event of an actual peace, will operate va
as a temptation to them to renew that condafi g <
vhicK Wrought on the prefeot war; neither Siall hi
ve have a*y of the usual fecuitics in peace. In "
their ttejities, they do not acknowledge the obliga
tion of that law which for ages bar been cemftion gr
to'all Europe. They have not the fame sentiments le
por the fame ideas of their interest in the preset va-
tion of peace, which have hitherto influenced all
regular governments; they do not in the fame w
wanner feel public distress, or the private misery of
theii fiibjffts ; they will not find the fame difficulty ti
on the commencement of anew war to call their tc
whole fbrfre into fad den action, where, by the law,
•very citizen iaa soldier, and the persons and pro- o
perty of all are liable at once to arbitrary requifi ,r
tions. On other hand, no attempt has been
made to (hew in what manner, whether by alii c '
■nces, by force, military or naval, or by the im- '
jprbvement and augmentation of our finances, we
stall be better able to refill their hollile attempts «>
after the peace than at jhe present hour. If we
Temaiti we cannot reap the ordinary advan t(
tagif of peace in economy ; If we disarm, we shall C
be fubjeft to be driven into a new war, under every
cireumftance of disadvantage, unless we now pte-
pare ourselves to fuffer, with patience and fubmif-
6on, whatever insults, indignities, and injuties we \
jnay receive from tkat insolent, domineering, atid
unjtift power.
9th, Because the inability of humbling ourselves ,
again to solicit peace in a ftianfier, which is a recog ] 1
filiation t>t the Ftench republic, contrary to alt j j
k » the principles of the war, the danger of peace, if I ,
obtained, the improbability of its Juration, and the ! j
perfcverance of the enemy throughout the interval
of peace in their mifchitVous system, is not corjqc-
ture, but certainty. It has been avowed by the (
adual governors of France at the very mbment they 1
bad before them our application for a pafTport. 1
They chose that moment for publishing a Rate pa- !
per; breathing the most hoflile mind. In it they 1
Simulate and gnad us, by language the mod op
probrious and offenfivtj. They frankly tell us, that |
it is not our interest to desire peace, for that they (
regard peace only a* the opportunity for preparing i
frtih means for the annihilation of our naval power. 1
By making peace they do not conceal that it will \
be their ofcjeA—" to wrest from us our Maritime
preponderancy—to re-eflablifh what they invidious- <
ly call the freedom of the seas—to give a new im- '
pnlfe to the Spanish, Dutch and French marines— ,
and to carry to thehigheft degree of prosperity the ;
inieflry and commerce of those nations," which 1
they state to be our rivals, which they charge us '
with " unjustly attacking, when we can no longer
dupe," tnd which they throughout contemplate as <
their own dependencies, united in arms, and fur- 1
rifhing resources from our future humiliatioa and \
dettru&ion. They resort to that well-known and 1
ronftant allusion of theirs to antient hiflory, by I
which reprcfenting " France as modern Rome, and j
England as modern Carthage"—they accuse ui of
national perfidy, and hold England up f as an «b-
je£ ifi be blotted ont from the f*c& of the eartfc. '
They falfly afTert that the English nation tupports ™
vvith impatience the continuance of the war, and t0
has extorted all his majefly's overtures for peaee,
«« by complaints and reproaches," and above a I
not only is that pafTage, but throughout their offi- vo
cial note, they *iew the most marked adhtrence to 0 f
that insidious and intolerable policy of their system,
by which they, from the commencement of their ™
revolution, Wght to trouble and subvert all the go- m
vernraents ia Europe, They ftudiuufly disjoin the
English nation-from its foverrign. '
1 Oth, Because, having ailed throughout the w ,
cpuife of this awful and momentous crisis upon the
principles herein exprcfled, and after having on the
present occasion, not only reconfiJered, and jea- Vi
loufly examined their foundnefi and validity, but {h
gravely attended to, and fcnipulonflv weighed the R
