other views than for the good of the nation.
Like Absalom, rising in earljf and arro*
gating to herself the exclusive right of de
ciding on questions whi h any otiier State
had an equal fight to decide, but which be
long altogether to the determination of the
highest authorities in the nation.
Like Absalom, the dominant party in
Massachusetts, pronouncing every thing
^od and right which had a tet dene to pull
down the sovereign authority of the country,
however abandoned ft profit ^ate the means
was, whether it wtie i .justifying the cne
n-v io all his atrocity, cursing our own ru
lers, or countenancing smuggling, perjury
ami open opposition to laws constitutionally
made—and like Absalom, wickedly and un
justly denouncing our own rulers for not ap
pointing such civil officers as were pio »
sing to the opposition.
Moreover the language of Massachusetts,
as well as that ol many of her individual
citixens ha> bet n constantly like that of Ab
salom ; Oh that I were made Judge in the
land ! that every one might come to me for
justice !
At.salom was maturing his ambitions
plan forty years, before he insidiously ob
tain- his fathers leave to goto Hebron un
der ibe pretence of performing religious du
tics, when in tact it was to set up his&tan*
dard of rebellion ; yet it was only thirty
eight years from the declaration *>f Am ri.
can independence, until an Hartford Ccn~
■vention was got up, and both Hebron ai d
Hartford were considered the most stiitab e
places in both countries wherein to arten.pt
to wiest the supreme power front the con
siicutioa \1 possessors ; at.d the same du
plicity, indignity, and hypocriry, which
n arked the proceedings of the former, has
characterized ilv- projectors and principals
o! the latter. And although in imitation of
I b- alom. t/iiet were sent through that pan
of the Unit, d Stutes where the people were
supposed to be the most disaffected ; calling
upon them to raise the standard of rebel
lion, so soon as*he trumpet should be soun

Alaithophel, as in times of n*d, while under
the pretence of being very religious in of

vidence ot G>>d, the counsel given by the
modern Ahitbnphel. having had the same
n't r.tl tendency as that give; to Absalom,
was in like manner deleaied, and turned
into foo'ishness with less evil consequences
to the nation.
In the 'haracter of Ahithophel vre seethe A.
ristocra painted to the life—learned, wealthy,
ambitious proud—for when he saw that his
counsel was nut followed, he set Uis house in or

We will not trespass on the pati nee of th
readtr in pursuing this subject further thu
merely to call his attention to the magnanimity
and patriotism o the- affluent Shohi, Macri and
BsizilJia, who ii the time ot David’s great, si
peril and dis*r ss. g-nerously ntford.-d him suc

patrio s, in support of the independence and i
btrties of tlie Country, an on whose lit- r
the gratitude and blessing of millions of harm
people shall fall.
These observations are not made with a view
to wound the feelings of an American, or to in
flate the pride ot party, but merely to censure
those only, who in heart and grain are inimical
to republican liberty, for most assuredlt sue)

ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT.
Baltimore, loth April 1815.
At a numerous and respectable meeting
©‘ the Republican Citizens of the City and
Precincts of Baltimore, it was resolved un
animously, that the following Address be, on
their bcualf, transmitted to the President
of the United States, by a committee, whoje
names arc thereto subserved.
EDWARD JOHNSON, Chairman.
Test—Thcodorick Illand , Scc'ry.
To the President of the United States.
We b*g leave to ofTerto you our sincere
congra*illations upon the cmclusion of an
honorable Prace between the United States
and Great Britain, ami at the same time to
express nur unfeigned admiration of the en
lightened wisdom and patriotic firmness, by
which your conduct has been distinguished
during the extraordinary trials to which for
some time past our country has been expos,
ed, by foreign injustice.
In the anxious and long continued efforts
of our Government to avoid a contest with
England, we have seen and approved that
spirit of moderation and love of peace,
which ought in a peculiar manner to chn
racterise Republican rulers ; and in the de
cision with which an appeal to arms was
made, when forbearance was no longer pos
sible. we recognise snd applaud that enura
gcous devotion to the rights and honor of
the nation, which a brave people are enti*
tied to expect from those who are the de
positories of their power.
The struggle which followed that appeal
was necessarily commenced under formi-|
dable difficulties, growing out of our own I
situation and that of the enemy ; hut it was
marked in its progress by signal triumphs
won by a navy In the weakness of its infan*
ry, from the. greatest maritime nation on the
globe, and by an army and militia in which
discipline had oniy begun to lend its aid to
v;dor, from those who had long been form
ed to military habits, and had become fa
miliar with victory over the veteran tiimps
el France.
I hat struggle has revived, with added
lustre, the renown which brighted the morn
mg ot our independence : It has called forth
and organized the dormant resources of the
.mpire : It has tried and vindicated our
republican constitution ; it has given us that
moral strength which consist, in tbu well
• amed respect of the world, and in a just
respect for ourselves. It hat raised up an^
consolidated a national character, dear to
the hearts of the people as an object of hon *
est pride and a pledge of future union, tran*
qui iitjr and greatness. It has not indeed,
been unaccompanied by occasional rever
ses, yet even these have had their value and
may still be wholesome to us, if we receive
them as the warnings of a protecting pro
videnc** agalpst the errors of a false confi
dence, and against intemperate exultation
in the midst of snore prosperous fortuue.
Many of our cit'xens, too, have fallen in
this conflict, and it becomes Us to mourn
their loss, but they have fallen that their
country might ris- ; they have cemented
with their bio d the fabric of her happm^ss
a d glory ; and, although death has snatch*
ed them from us, they will s*ill live in their
exa tiple and in the graceful rememberance
ot their countr- men.
Throughout his severe probation your
Course has iven steady and uniform, you
Iia.e not b: en turned aside from the pursuit
of peace, through a vigorous preparation
for war, hy anfo>eseeu and gigantic embar
rassments. enha ced if not produced by an
•.’npos,:'on more *c*<ve ft persevering than
ever before was known to palsv the energies
of a fre* «=tate, in the hour of her greatest
I'O.-il The result of constancy, sustain d
and animated by virtue, has been whatb
ought to he ; the result ha* b* on a peace
which every Americ -u feels that he may
enjoy,not only without a blush, but with a
lofty consciousness that it brings with it
augmented hon >r for the present, and secu
rity for the future;

THE PRESIDENT’S ANSWER.
I have received, fellow citizens, the con'
gra tubitions upon the conclusion ot no ho
norable eace with Groat Britain, which
you have communicated on thn part ofa
numerous and respectable locating of Re
publican Citizens <>t the city pud precincts
of Bn timore.
A candid review of the tnals to which
our country ha*, been expo-ed, and of i’
conduct previous and subsequent t# * e
appeal of arms, will always do * jus
tice to its love of peace, and its jes in
war; to th" s .bihy of it3 political institu
Pons amid threatening shocks, and the pub
lic spirit which animated, and was in turn
cherished by them ; to its respect for the
rights of other nations, and its firmness in
asserting its own,
T! e present generation in disregarding

A comparisrn of the present m" .1 .on of

of ihe world, with the degradation inviting
fu'u**e insu't in which it would have br en
loft by an unresisted accammnlation of
opp-e-sions, will c >nvev to discerning minds,

i«s been done, : nd ‘he compensation for

F< r t*'p surer-* — h'ch has pieced us on
he h vh ground which calls for our com
nttin congratulations, too much praise can
•’ot be given to the warriors, who, on both
vlemeMs, ha efought so g!oriou"lv the bat

of citiae s whose patriotism has berne eve"
ry sacrifice, and braved everv danger.
In the varied scenes which have pur to
the test the constancy >f«he nation, Ralti*
more ranks among the portion of most dis

boldly and promptly wpoosed the resort to
arms, when no «>»hei hnporable chtace re

citizens, a ran.part agai st the assaults of
an enterprising force : th-u it never wave**
ed nor tempori-ed wi'h ‘-he vicissitudes of
the contest, and that it had an hmp!e share
in the exertion", which ha<’e brought it to an
honorable conclusion.
For ’he favorable livht in which vour kind
partiality has regarded my participation in
the public counsels and measures, through
out the arduous period now so auspiciously
terminated, I render my thanks, with my
respects and best wishes.

April 27, 1815.
Sir—Soon after your late arrival in thitcify,
we were appointed by a number of your fellow
citizens, to request your company at a public
dinner.
Knowing that a Court of Inquiry had been in
stituted bv your desire, to inv-stigate the cam
es of the. loss of the frigate President, whiln un
der yourcommsnd, wr thought there would be
a propriety in deferring the invitation till the
result of that inquiry should be known.
The proceedings of the Court being now be
fore the public, we hasten to perform the duty
assigned to us. We see with great pride and
gratification, that the conduct of th# officers and
crew of the President, is proved to h«ve been
such as adds a new lustre to the character of
the American Navy. ,
The unequal contest in which you were late.
Jy engaged with a British squadron, when the
impossibility of success, could have left no hope
of sustaining the honor of the American flag,
will furmsh one of the brightest pages in the
history, that records the many gallant deeds of
our seamen.
Victory is in itself in some measure, its own
reward | hut when the utmost efforts of bravery
and skill are unavailing, they have superior
claims on our gratitude, and in auch a case
more than any other, we are bound to acknow
ledge it, I
As an expression of this sentiment, and as a
testimony of the respect and admiration itispir- j
ed by your conduct on all occasions, but parti- !
cularly in the late battle, in which your ship
was triumphal as long aa one waa engaged with
an equal fee, we request yo* to be nor with
yonr company a public dinner, to be given at
the City Hotel, on Monday next, at 4 o’clock.
We have the honor to be,

approbation of my conduct, und that of the
gallant officers and men whom I had the hon
or to command, in the unequal contest between
the United State* frigate President, and a squad

I lie approbation of our countrymen is at all
times gratifying, but it is particularly so in the
present msiance when our best exertions have
proved unavailing.

FROM FRANCE
Yesterday arrived at this port, the Spanish
ship Louisa, from Hordeaux, in 29 davs from
the river. Passenger. Mr. Thos. W. C. Moore,
of this city, who has favored tile Editors of the
Murcanlile Advertiser with Bordeaux paper*;
of the 27th of March, and the following impor
tant translations.
DECLARATION
Sent to H. It H. the Duke of Angotdem*, by
the Count U. (Lmand, ambassador from Prance,
at Turin
The powers which signbd the Treaty at Pa
ris, convened in general Congress at Vienna,
having be»n informed of the invasion of Napo
leon, and of his entry, sword in hand, into
Franci-, owe it to their own dignity, and to the
interests of social order, a solemn declaration
of the sent iments which that event has caused
them to entertain. In thus breaking the con.
ventiOn which established him at tin- island of
Elba, Bonaparte destroys the only legal title to
which his existence could lay claim. In re
appearing in Prance with projects to disturb
and confuse, he has deprived h-mself of the pro
tection of the laws, and has manifested in the
lace of (he universe, that there can be no safety
in having a peace or truce with him. The
powers declare in consequence, that Xaptl'-un
Bonaparte hits placed himself out of all civil and
social relations ; and, that as the enemy and dis~
tttrbi r of the r'pose of the vuortd, he. it delivered
up to the vindictive public. Th -y declare at the
sanic'iine, that firmly r.solved to maintain in*
violate thf trc.ty of Paris of the 30th of May,
1811, the dispositions sanction'd by that treaty,
and all tho^e which they have, or which tht v
shall yet agree upon to complete and consoli
date it, they will employ all their means and
wil1 h - ite \P tliei* efforts, in order that the gen
era! peace, the object of all the views of Eu
rope, an-l Constant end of their labors, be not
disturbed anew ; and in ord.-r to guarantee it
fr'<m a’l atli-dlpta which shall threaten to re •
plunge the o-on’e in the disorders and mise*
nt’9 of revolutions; and. though intimately per*
snail''.!, that France entire, will again rally it
*ell around its egitimate sovereign, to render
nugatory this hut attempt of a criminal and
impotent d it*urn : all tlie sovereigns of Kit
rt'pe. animated w-:h the same sentiments,
guid-d by the uame princip'es, declare, that i|,
cont. *"y 10 t-vgo-y calcii'ation, there should re
sult from litis . vent a ty real danger whatever,
they will hr r .dv to give to the king of France,
and to tue French nation, or to any of tbeir a‘
iiea, as soon as 'lie demand shall be made, the
necessary means, to rv-estsbllish the public
tranquility and to make common cause against
ad those who shall u lertake to disturb it.
T he present Declaration, inserted in the
Protocal of tlie Congress convened at Vienna,
in the session of the 13th March, 1315, shall be
made public.
“ Signed at Vienna, on the 13th of March !
1315, by all the Plenipotentiaries who signed
the treaty of Paris ”

termination ot the ttoyahsts at Hoid aux, to es

Last evening arrived at this port, the fast

Havre de Grace, which port he left on the

By this arrival, we learn verbally, tv,at
France was apparently ui a state of trait*

an active part for the Bourbons, which fam..
ily left France for Flanders, and had ar
rived at Memn. Marseilles, Bordeaux, and
other places from which opposition was ex
pected had either acquiesced, or Were
perfectly tranquil. The British Minister
at Paris, had asked for and had obtained
ins passports to return to England. The
Emperor Napoleon, had issued a proclama
tion granting the British army in Belgium
14 days to evacuate i . A war between
trance and England was momently ex*'
peeled. Messrs. Gallatin, Adams, Bayard
and Russel were in Paris; Mr. Clay de.
