Yet our administration not only refrained from expressing any sensibility to the aggressions ou those injured nations, but most unaccountably, and we are constrained to say ungratefnllv seized the occasion of their misfortunes to attack the territories of one of Uiera. Our distrust of (he virtue of our administration was stiil more increased, when vre saw thero at a most eTentful moment, « hen the whole force of Britain was required for the defence of Spain, and for the assistance of Russia, then threatened to be assailed by France, subdeslv entering into the war on the side of France without new provocations on Lhe part ot GrcalBi itaiD, nnd when eflerj" reason .hie prospect of an abandonment of her Orders in Council, (die only serious object of controversy) existed. Russia was the only remaining nation on the continent of Kurope, on whom the hopes of the friends of civil liberty could repose. Thu campaign which ended in the treaty of Tilsit had enrecblnd these hopes, nnd few of us anticipated from the new contest and struggle any thing but a succession of ilie same triumphs on the part of France, und the same humiliation on die part of Russia, which had scaled the doom of every other continental state. , (h"I niiideiliur stEOIlg ind bold, tbt Above which adorns die throne was degrade* I, iii i. 1, , brav'd ihe hanghtv Swede, Hcav'n nrdaiu'd to humble Charles, (,.

However confident a Russian might have felt in the resources of his country, certain it is that neither in France, Great Britain or America, were any sanguine hopes entertained of a successful issue lo her noble struggle for independence. But it has pleated the Almighty, to overrule the eTenti in Russia in a manner which no human foresight could have predicted. The schemes of the gi entile* sirojer of nations hare not onlv been frustrated, but a dawn oi'bopc has opened upon the world which the most prophetic spirit could not have foretold. To have been insensible to this manifest visitation of divine power.jnstice and mercy, vioulii have been highly culpable. Ttione who do not adroit the divine agency ; those who consider the domination of France over other nations a blessing, may be justified in steeling the hearts against the generous emotion of gratitude but for us, awl we trust we include a vast majority of the Freemen of the U.
