(No. 8 Continued.) [centered]
The divided opinions, the inconsistent and conciliatory measures employed, by Mr. Pitt's immediate Successors in Office, combined with the unfavorable tendency are now the more easily forgotten: from a dispassionate view of the animated, watchful and conclusive operations of our present Ministry. Their firm, yet placid deliberations, yield every consoling reflection to the British mind. This National cheering ray of Public confidence, is expanded by the beaming hope of a providential continuance of those mental and personal blessings which His Majesty has long enjoyed, and exercised for the general benefit of His Subjects. The British Cabinet of the present day, appears to view with acuteness their elevated situation: and cautiously travel the firm path, to that everlasting reputation which properly belongs to good men, supporting under the sanction of the Constitution the inseparable interests of the King and his People. Ministers are aware, it was not a Madcedonian thirst for the undue extension of Dominion, a diabolical variance with religion, or a premeditated and usurped exertion to lay waste Churches, dethrone Monarchs, and masacre [sic] the Ancient Princes of Europe, that impelled Great Britain to become a party in the last and present War! - nay, the Cabinet sees, 'twas a necessary measure: to contend against the blood-spilling schemes of Corsican ingenuity, and secure, under the implored auspices of Omnipotence, the inherent and natural rights of violated dignity from the ravages of upstart ambition: - thereby preserving an indispensible [sic] ballance [sic] of Power, and securing to English Subjects the privileges delegated to each of us by the Constitution.
Unbounded ambition may reign for a time, but although it exists under the lambent ray of cheerfulness, or leaving its vital abode hovers at times round a gloomy countenance, or perchance invades a disturbed imagination: - its check has ever been sudden! - Brutus loved his country, yet he assassinated Caesar, because Caesar's thirst for power was paramount to all his other affections and would have endangered the Commonwealth. Hence, had Bonaparte been actuated by Roman principles, or cared for any code of religious tenets, the Duke D'Enghein would not have been Murdered!! - But this deep dyed act, forms but one solitary letter, in the crimson alphabet of Corsican attrocity [sic]!!
Yet, such a self-created Emperor and King, such a detested piece of brittle mortallity [sic], - a destroyer of all good order, all religion, and moral society! - Js, not only the favourite, but the comptroller of the present Chief Majistrate of the American Union. - this observation requires no other support, or elucidation, than a slight view of the late decree of Bonaparte, the intention of which is not difficult to solve, for so far as the plan of its violent domineering effect can be considered, in idea, to extend, the degrading mischief, should it happen, will be felt in a tenfold proportion, more by Americans, against whom a large quota of the high toned threats of the regicide mandate are directed, than they can possibly be by England.
Talleyrand knows, and therefore Bonaparte cannot be ignorant, that if the people of America disagree with Mr. Jefferson; and the President of the Union feels himself compelled to speak the language of its Citizens; the Emperor, during the lapse of the moment, may construe the remonstrance of the Chief Majestrate into insult, and by imperial decree announce, - That -
"The Citizens of the United States have violated his edict, by continuing an intercourse with England under the sanction of their Government, and by the same sanction maintained and carried on a trade with British Colonies, also suffering reside at the American Federal City a Minister from the Barbarous English Court! - Having by my imperial decree declared Britain and all her West-India Possessions in a state of the most rigorous blockade, and duly appreciating the dignity of my empire, and comfort of my subjects, and accutely [sic] observing my political relations with my Catholic Brother, I hereby declare all American Citizens denationalized and to have forfeited my Protection and that of their own Government.
-- "Louisannia must be instantly abandoned, with all publick and private property, to my constituted authorities, or those of His Catholic Majesty. - The navigation of the Missippi [sic] shall be forthwith shut, and the Western Territory occupied by my invincible French Legions. - The march of any United States Troops from the frontier States into the Canadas, is strictly forbidden: If I cannot raise the imperial French Flag on English ground, the American Eagle shall never approach it in hostile garb: - superior laurels can only be gathered by invincible prowess." -
However extraneous the allegory in its relation to America: such quaint predictions, occasioned by similar pathos, have escaped the lips of the peccant [sic] French Emperor: and come to pass. - of which the wavering Frederick of Prussia is a sad, but living instance.
What man, but the voluntary pupil of Thomas Paine would persist in pursuing measures which must end in the degradation of the American Union? The American people, if they wish for a continuance of their rural happiness, ought no send wisemen in quest of a Washington or an Adams.
A War with Great Britain would ruin the commercial, and check the aggricultural [sic] industry of Americans; - lost to themselves they would be no longer the same, - hitherto the fruits of their labours elated their sanguine hopes, - urged by a natural hope of success and spirit of adventure, they risk the redundancy of their Farms in Navigation, in expectation of returns to satisfy their wishes, and wants; but such a contest will indubitably blast even such laudable hopes.
Should the American Congress accord with their President in sentiment, and recommend submission to Bonaparte's recent decree, they may join with their fellow Citizens, in proclaiming adieu to their boasted Independence.
The manufacturing Interest of England would suffer by the measure, and the cultivation of the West-India Possessions, for a time, might prove less productive, being somewhat more expensive and difficult; but the disease cannot be considered dangerous till every apparent remedy fails.
Zelot.

We have been favoured with two Barbados Papers, of the 13th and 16th inst, by which it appears that the Squadron under Sir J. T. Duckworth has arrived off Martinique, but had not formed a junction with Sir A. Cochrane. The Enemy has not yet made his appearance in these Seas, for should he now come there are two Squadrons, either of which is sufficient to vanquish him. Sir A. Cochrane has six Sail of the line with him, namely, the Bellisle, 80 guns; Ramillies, 74; Captain, 74; York, 74; Intrepid, 74; Defence, 74; and Three Frigates. Sir J. T. Duckworth has five Sail of the line, viz: Royal George, 110 guns; Neptune 98; Temeraire, 98; Dragon, 74; and the other supposed to be the Tonnant. Admiral Duckworth proceeded from Madeira direct for Martinique, without touching at Barbados as had been reported.
The Defence, which is now with Admiral Cochrane, had been dispatched by Sir C. Cotton from off Lisbon, and on her passage out spoke the Talbot Frigate, who reported having fallen in with six Sail of the line, steering W.S.W. under a press of sail, on the night of the 21st ult. evidently an Enemy's Squadron.
Admiral Sir A. Cochrane has appointed the Convoy to leave Barbados for the 16th of April next.
The Barbados Paper of the 13th instant contains a round-about account of an adjustment between Great Britain and America, - that Mr. Rose had arrived in America, and had been received in a friendly and cordial manner, that the Tide of Popular opinion had decidedly turned in favor of Great Britain, and that an arrangement of all existing differences was expected to take place immediately.
General Miranda arrived in England on the 30th of December, on board the Alexandria, Cap. Cochrane, and according to the last accounts had arrived in London.
The Vessels of the Cork-Fleet (see Ship list) destined for this Colony arrived here on Monday last, after a tedious Passage. No other arrival from Europe in the course of the present Week.
