With a small squadron oflL vessels, not drawiag more than.ten feet of water, a few guns and bomb ketches, v™ may proceed to the river Savannah in Geor gia, pass the Tibeebar island at Savmmh Here you may get a handW supply n f ' virions ; and on your return down the fiver burn the buildings on e*Sh fide even: to it,' mouth. Ihe fame plan will do for Ckark ton : pass the bar and set fire to the build ings on Johpfon and Sullivan ithnds. You may next vilit Georgetown inSouth,an<iWil mington in North-Carolina ; enter theChcs apeak (perhaps it maybe advifeable to make the firlt operation here) burn Norfolk, Al exandria, Annapolis and Baltimore. You muftbe careful, my friends, by rapid move, ments, to prevent a defeat by the EcriiH l'quadroa, or by the Americans on (h ols who will at the firtt alajpi colleft in grta ,' numbers. In eight days you may do all«, wifhiu the Cheiapeak. As Baltimore isfa. theft up, you had better begin withth^t,acd there you may raise a handfouie contribution. Near Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk, are small forts, that you may ealily take in the rear. In tht Delaware you mofl proceed with great caution. Lewiftown on the left may be eitfiljr fcur"!t ; and if you were certain there was not an Englifji squadron near the Capes, . you ipighj let fire to Philadelphia. 'lt is a buiipefs of a week only. ~ } Between Sandy Hook and New-York, you will find a pretty (IrongTort ; this yen will filcnce with your bombs. The buildings at Long Illand and Nantucket are ealily burnt; but Boston melt be bombarded. Hie mafhrr-ftroke would be to conclude with llilkax. The Englilh vessels from the Ealf Indies generally winter there. Not cxpe&ing you in that quarter, ..tbey will be leis pfepared to receive you. Shouli your brave squadron fall in with tlie (Quebec fleet convoyed by a single frigate, it would be a brilliant affair indeed. Excuse my freedom, dear republic:ns ; you are neither tygen nor fep ernbnzers. Why may you not fend the moll of your emigrants into Cadana I Connected as you are with Spain, vou might go to New-Orleans, leize the ports of the Natches, colle<ft tlie friends, of liberty from the back fettlenients in the United Slates, from Kentuckey to the frontiers. ou v..11 have to distribute a few presents among the Indians. You must put Gen. Clerk and Knoxville in motion, fumijion to the French standard the Florida? and Ame rican troops raised by Genet and Mangcuret, declare freedom to the black men, that are Haves in the fouthtrn {fates, and give to the men ol colour, the sweet enjoyment of the rigfits of man. It is in facl from the inhabitants of the sea ports that British influence proceeds. Ihe only way to break up their nefls is to burn tjieir sea, ports, and in this way com pel them to live among the Planters. Thcfe lafl will not fail to treat them as the authors of all their calamities. This is the on '. v wa y to humble the British Lion that now courts an alliance with the American Eagle, only to bring übout its deffruiiVion. GENERAL DUMOURIER, In a late publication, in whieh he notices the difference between the United States, among other judicious thoughts gives the following: " It appears very impolitic in France to exnfperate the peaceable Americans, and make them acquainted with their llrength. Beyond the reach of attack by land, should despair convert them into warriors, they way become the scourge of Europe. The /fntilh* asd the colonies of the different powers are eutirely at their mercy, they may easily starve and conquer them, they may put an end to the Newfoundland fifheries, they mS}' devastate the coast of Europe by their prrvr teers. Maritime war has charms for two great passions of human nature, avarice and love of adventure. The preparation, the expence, the forces it requires, are of a smaller magnitude than thole of land, and their effs£ts morr v lucrative and rapid. '' The Americans have provisioned, and , consequently laved the Colonies of France ; that service alo.ie in the eyes of the Directory to ha\r obliterated the frivolous grievances complained of, which if duly were act injurious, but rather the jufl proceediires of a p.-udent ana paofo neutrality." 3«w i m tu»h&T tf eod6t eo6e
