Communication.—Many good democrats forget how deeply their satire cuts the present insufficient administration, when they say That "England means to Copenhagen us." In doing this, that nation must have the same dread of the consequences to her of our terrible fleet of gun boats falling into the hands of Bonaparte, as she had of Denmark's being unable to preserve from his fangs between thirty and forty of her vessels of war, most of which were line of battle ships. The truth is, if these very impartial, enlightened, and patriotic gentlemen would discard narrow party prejudice, and exercise their reason a little more, they would at once candidly avow, that we are in much greater danger of being PORTUGALIZED, by their friend Bony; that is, of having our ports, shut and our commerce with England wholly interdicted, than of having New York Copenhagened by England, for the sake of our formidable navy. If there is any ground to suppose, that the burning of said potent military marine would save the city from destruction, would it not be politic (we ask the question with fear and trembling) to make the sacrifice, great as it may be, rather than have our city battered about our ears?
