Mr. Renflellear, late Lieut. them of comion fenfe. What A'ould have been our condition for eight years pafi, if this ilupid policy had prevailed? Do not thefe people know, that thole whotetch and carry, make the price both ways. Our farmers, in (lead of being enriched as they arc, by the high price of their produce, would have gained nothing while every foreign article of cotifinnptioi" would have been raifcd as high powder which were lotmd the t-ape, 'eie furnidied by the Uniied States of America.

Perhaps it wouid be imjiill to found 11 pon this circumliatice a ft-rious reproach a government fuppofed to he attached 10 rance by principle, by interefl, and by a jufi fetitimcni of gratitude. 'But if we connect this fad with feveral other things if we apply it to a general fyPem of politics adopted by the United Siaies, undi-r 1 he Piefidency of Mr. Jeffr-lon's predccefLr, the abovementioned in General Lecltrc's letter may not appear infignilicant.

Foreign nations, contending for our trade would fight their battles in out ports; and wc, like filly defencelefs pul-(roons, would be infulted and plundered by all. This is the condition to which the wif.

It is certain that of all the neutral and friendly powers, there is none from which France had a right to expect mora interefl and fuc-icour than from the United States. SH 1 THEIR TRUE MOTHER COUN-TRY, SINCE SHE HAS ASSURED THEM THIER LIBERTY AND INDEPENDENCE Ungrateful children, inflead of abandoning her, they ought to have armed in her defence.

But if imperious circumftances had prevented them fiom openly declaring for the Republic nf France, they ought at leaft Jo have made de-monfira-tions and excited apprehrnnnns in England that at fome moment or other they fliould declare themfelves. This fear alone would have been fulficient to force the cabinet of Louden to make peace. It is clear that a war with the United Stares, would flrike a terr.blc blow at the commerce of the Englifh, would five them meaCmtfs for the prcfervation of their poffelLons on the American continent, and deprive them of the means of conquering the French and Dutch colonies. Speaking of the Eritifh treaty the Monitor proceeds Sjuch a treaty, under all tlie peculiar cir-cutnitances, and by the copfecjuences it mufl produce, is an ad of hofpitality againfl The French government in fliort, ha tef.ificd the refciumcm of the French nation, breaking ofT communication with an ungrateful ni faithlefs ally, until flie (hall return to a morejuft and benevolent conduct, Joflice and found policy, equally approve this meaure of the French government. here is ivo doubt if will giv rife, in the United Stales, to difcufjions which may afford a triumph to the party of good republicans, the friends of France.

One fourth part of that funi, it is believed, ill fome time or other appear to have been wafted in this port upon the hip Adams. About nine months (he has been under the hands of a hod of mechanics, not fcleficd for their integrity or kill in their bu-linefs.

In the mean time, our trade in the Mcditeranean is left, as far as refpefis this 3iip, tobc protected by the Swedes.

But fuch (hips aie not built exclufively for the purpofe of amufc-nient and it behoves fomebody to fhew belter reafon for keeping this flup fo long in port, afier the (liipmtnt of her crew. It is cuftomary in our own fervice, as well as that of all other nation', for the Commander of a lauadrpn to have a Captain under him to command the fiiip, in which 4ie is.

Commodore Truxton was ordered to the command of the Mcditeranean fnuadron. A Captain was re-fufed him and ihat gallant officer was com. pelled to ferve with difcredit, or to quit the fervice. It could never have been doubted which he would prefer. Neverlhclefs, the.

Chefapeake Was detained until Capt. Morris could be fent for from Bofton. Here was a faving of aboul twelve hundred dollars, a.id a lofs of about twelve thoufand, liut what is incalculably worfe, an olhcer whofe fervice ar -above price, is ihrvfl out of fervice Suf that vficer is a f'cderalijl. Secretary Smiih, in his report lo Congrels, eflimaies the limit contracted for to build the fix 74 gun Hups, and which is principally collefled at the refpefiive navy yards, at four hundred twenty, three thoufand, nine hundred and fiHy four dollars. Befides ibis, it is iiiiderftood that two otlvrr frames were contrafled for, agreeable to the aft of Congrefs which will make the whole value of timber about dollars.

In the rage for faving, it would be well if thefe frtrres houlJ be faved for it will be difficult, if not irrpclible, 10 procure 4s many more of equal value. In lme exigency, probably not remote, ihey might be the means of favixg the honour of the nation. But this laueris ifaving which the ptefent adminiflration fecm never to have thought of. And it i much to be feared, that all the refl cf Unitea states their liberty did independ In't, and openly to avow, that by 11 break nent upon terra htma, capable of infuring the pretentions and rights of Europe upon that part of the World. It is uue that the government of the Union has promifed to oilier nations to remain within its prel'eni limits.

Hut do we not know that in politics the execution of thete kinds of promifes remains always fobewdinate to a multitude of even's and circumflances which cannot be forefeen And betides, though the Federal Government fliould renounce for a century all fvflem of agrandize-nieni, is it nothing to occupy a territory fertile and extenfive enough for the fe-ppcfl of 1C0 millions of inhabitants Is it nothing to rule over coo leagues of maritime coaft, to have 50 dies under the cyc-and hand, to reign on the Atlantic, and (eeiifelf feparated from the South Sea only by lavage i.alions ready to receive "the yoke from whatever power Uiall appear before them in aims What means this project of civilizing the Indian tribes; and to whom would thefj people belong but to the Government who takrs upon itielf to noltfli them, and which l.as no rival 10 fear, being itfilf alone in the centre of ihe new wot Id Let it not then Wi imagined that the plan of. uniting Louiflana to the dominion of tl'e French Republic is by ambition, of that it i part of a pure and fimpJe fviU-m "of aggrandisement.
