There was but little inconvenience to the common cause in the commerce kept up hj ' Holland with England ; either thro" the agency of neutrals, or by borrow ing their flag. Marseilles, Bordeaux, and Antwerp, enjoyed the same ad vantages. England had still to ma nage the Americans, the Russians Si the Prussians, the Swedes and the Danes, and these nations formed a sort of league between the powers whom the seas separated “ The fourth coalition destroyed this state of things ; England suc ceeded in uniting against France, Russia, Prussia, and Sweden ; she was no longer obliged to resort to cree, declaring all vessels denational- pericl Majesty hoped to conciliate GEORGIA, Morgan ized which had paid the tribute im- every one by establishing the Throne!

The Harp was on the eve of breath ing its last, its dying tones—as there were hnt few persons left to wake the sweet melody of its sacred strings.—There is something pro vidential in this attempt made to revive it; we cannot help per ceiving that the harp of erin is under the care of Heaven, and that though it may for a time be condemned and neglected, it is destined still to maintain a footing in the world, and an honorable dis tinction among the most favorite ainuoemcnts of mankind.

From that time his imperial majesty could not hut observe that the King of IIol land was divided between his most imprescriptible duties—his duties to tire Imperial Throne, and the mer cantile notions of the Dutch nation Nevertheless., his Imperial Majesty armed himself with patience, and shut his eyes, in expectation from the turn of events of some incident which should deliver his brother from the very unpleasant alternative to which he found himself reduced “ During these transactions the to the commerce of Holland.

Until then herntaratime right ’< !y combated by r*; tiled bv neutrals been willing to listen to reasonable terms of peace. But this hope va nished very soon. At the 9ame time that they vanished, the English, as if the expedition to Copenhagen had deprived them of all sense of shame, and set them free from all restraint, disclosed their projects, and publish ed their Orders in Council, of No vember 1807, an arbitrary and ty rannical act, which filled all Europe with indignation. By this act Eng land took upon her to make regulati ons, oblige foreign vessels to come to her harbors before they proceeded to their ultimate destination, and to pay her tribute. Thus she rendered herself mistress of the navigation of the whole world ; recognized no ma ritime nation as independent,render- unelot; -■ i ancc.; ed them to her laws, allowed them no liberty of trade, tinless with a di rect profit to herself, fixed the foun dation of her revenues upon the in . 1 nstry of other nations, and the pro duce oi their territories, and declar ed herself sovereign of the ocean, of which she disposed as any govern ment would do of the rivers in the interior of its dominions. “ Adverting to this plan of legis lation, w hich was nothing else than the public assertion of universal so vereignty, a measure extending tht jurisdiction of an English Parliament aver the whole of the globe, the Em- u-ror found himself under the neces sity of taking an extreme part, and ol . mploy mg every means ol opposition n his power rather than suffer th* world to bend under the yoke which he English endeavored to imposi m it. He published the Milan dc- On the other hand, the Emperor observes, that Holland is destitute of the means for carrying on war, and al most without resources for her own defence. She is without marine the 16 vessels which she ought to have furnished have been dismantled she is without energy. During the last expedition of the English, the important position of Veere, which was neither provisioned nor armed, made no resistance ; and the important post of Batz, upon which might have depended the suc cess of so many events, was abandon ed six hours after the appearance of the advanced guard of the enemy. Without army, without revenues, it might almost be said without friends and without allies, the Dutch arc society animated only by a regard to their commercial interests, and form ing a rich, useful, and respectable company, but not a nation. “ His majesty desires peaace with England. He took steps at Tilsit with a view to this object, but they were without result. Those which he con certed at Erfurth, with his ally the Emperor of Russia, have had no bet ter success. The war will there fore be long, sinte all the steps ta ken to arrive at peace have been useless. The proposition even of sending commissioners to Morlaix to treat for the exchange of prisoners, although called for bv England, re mains without effect, because it was feared it might lead to a reconcilia tion. England, in arrogating by her orders of November 1807,an univer sal sovereignty, and in adopting the principles of perpetual war, has bro ken every thing, rendered legitimate every means of repelling her preten sions. has lately taken place in the English ministry produces none in the priori pies of England, which it will be easy to discover from their speeches in the new Parliament, and if she con tinues to proclaim the principle of perpetual war and of universal sove reignty, in maintaining her Orders of Council, in that case the under signed is charged to declare to the Dutch Ministry and nation, that the present situation of Holland is in compatible with the circumstances or the situation in which the new princi ples adopted by England have placed the affairs of the Empire and the Con tinent. In consequence his Imperial Maj esty proposes— “I. To recal home the Prince of his blood whom he had placed on the Throne of Holland.
