It is not believed, that France, in- solent with victory, and crimson with revolutionary crimes, will regard either shame or principle. It is not believed that England will wholly disregard the maxims and rules of civilized states. But without really admitting that France is on a footing in point of morals or deference to the laws of nations, even with Algiers, it shall, for argument sake, be conceded to those who love her better than America, that France and England will exactly alike pursue w...hat their interest dictates.
