This motion produced a very warm
debate, in which, relative to Ameri
ca, it was observed by
Mr. Brougham, that the present
system of retaliation, as it was called,
was a system of hostility to com
merce, a wish to sacrifice the trade
of France to the destruction of the
trade of England. Bonaparte was
at war with commerce, he had every
thing favorable to the world and es
teemed nothing but that which fa*
vored the power he had usurped—
Bonaparte and hts minister presented
nothing hut a compound of villainy
and fraud to the world. He asked,
what system ought England to pur
sue f It ought to b- their object to
encourage commerce and the trade
of neutrals, not with the neutrals
most contigiuous to France, but
those separated from her bjr the o-
cean, impassable to her, owning the
same interests, and speaking the
same language with England, and
being the only nation, beside our
selves, in which freedom could be
found. He regretted that he had
heard, on a late occasion, that the
■hopes ol successful issiu with that
power were represented as slender.
Mr. B. then went into a calculation
of the losses which England sustains
by her Orders in Council.
Mr. Hose followed, and replyed
to Mr- B. and pointed out many of
his errors in calculation. But, he
did not wish to be understood as be
ing indifferent with respect to a con
nection with the United States—the
interest ot the two nations were
closely connected, but itwas too much
to expect that England should allow
America to jrcat her iu a manner
different troni all other countries.—
He asked what nail been the origin
ul the ot tiers in council ? France said
there should be no trade to England.
Our answer, was, (which we had the
power to enforce) that nothing should
go to France, which did not come
from her to England. We had a
right to say to neutrals, that if they
tolerate the regulation of one of die
belligerents, inimical to our commer
cial interest,they must tolerate are
gulaiicn on our part in defence of
inese interests. Nothing hostile was
intended against America. The
conduct of France towards America
had been infinitely more hostile than
that of England. On this subject
Mr. Iv. went into particulars. Were
tne Orders in Council and the licen
ces aboiisited, said he, then indtfid
die country would return to that svs
tetri of neutralization under which per-
juries were so frequent. The system
the government was one of 3elf de
fence ; they had no alternative he-
.ween having recourse to it or the
dutire renunciation of trade. He'
then contrasted the annual income
of France and England, to shew tie
effect oi the Orders in Counci , which
left the balance in favor of England
of twelve millions pei annum.
Mr Canniug, Mr. B iring, and
Mr. Wilberforce, spoke in favor of
the motion, which was opposed by
Mr. Stephens -and Mr. Marryat.
Mr. Percival declared the Orders
in Council were issued in conse
qucnce of a declaration made by
France, that we should have no trade
with any nation on earth. It wa.
then necessary for ut to declare, that
France should not ttade with any in
the world except us—(hear, hear.)
He said the distresses of the country
were not owing to the Orders in
Council. It was clear, which he
proved, that France had been mate
rially injured by them. He post
lively denied the repeal of the Bet
lin and Milan Decrees. It had been
merely stated, that they would cease
to operate, provided Great B itain
gave up her Order3 in Council, or
America consented to delend hti
rights, and to take care that her ships
should be no F nger denationalized.
Mr. Whitbread declared the speech
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
was calculated merely to mislead the
House. Mr. W. warmly supported
the motion.
Mr. Herbert also argued in sup
port of the motion.
Lords Gower and Milton said they
should vote for the Committee.
Mr. Brougham made a short but
animated reply, after which the
House divided— For the motion 141
—against it 216—majority 72.
London, March 13.
The question ot peace or war, or
rather, as far as it relates to Russia,
>f submission or war. is on the eve
of being decided, if it has not already
-en. Bonaparte whose torrent of
military force has for some months
been rolling northward, increasing as
it rolled, is now giving more rapid
directions to that force ; and having
by menaces or deceitful promises
prevailed upon Denmark and Priis
sia to sign treaties with him, is over
running the territories of both.—
Holstein is to furnish him with 0000
Cavalry, that is. he has permission t >
levy that number in li lstein ,which
he will enforce by his summary pro
cess of conscription ; his troops are
also to have free passage through
Holstein & Schleswick, from whence
it is supposed a considerable bod-
will proceed to Zealand. Mean
while,after overrunning Swedish Po
mcrama, the inhabitants of which
hive been treated by their good
friends the French with great severi
ty, the latter have burst in*o Prussi
an Pomerania ; and -Anclam, U,r:
dom and Schwinemunde, have al
ready been taken possession of.—
These places they entered on toe 20th
in virtue of the treaty said in all ine
private letter-, from the north to have
been signed between France and
Prussia, by which the latter consents
to have all her sea ports garrisoned by
French troops, Memel and Komns
burg excepted. Colberg is said in
some accounts to be also excepted,
but the French troops have already
arrived in the neighborhood of that
fortress ; they are even approaching
Berlin. Fifty thousand troops are
the contingent to be furnished by
Prussia again.t Russia Bv what
promises or menaces B maparte has
induced the King of Prussia to as
sist him in the unhallowed cause ;
by what mask he can have veiled
from him the truth so clear and na
ked to all other eyes, that every blow
aimed by Prussia against the E ..pc
ror of Russia is a blow aimed ig.iiusi
herself, we are perfectly unabie to
comprehend. For, to suppose, that
if Bonaparte succeed against Rus
sia, he will leave Prussia even in hei
present nominal independence, would
be the height of absurdity. No disas
ter, however great, which she could
have experienced by joining Russia,
would have been greater than those
she has experienced bv throwing her
self into the arms of France.
While, as it every thing were to
e extraordinary in the present state
of the world, we behold two of th-
>id powers of Europe leaguing them
selves with Bonaparte ; we see on
the other, one of ihe new sovereigns
d B unparte’s own creation, assum
ing the attitude which would have
uest become the powers we have al
iudeu to, and determined to lake part
against his former master. Berna
dotte, if we may accredit the ac
counts from Sweden, h >s broken off
entirely with France, and has deter
mined to diiect all the resources ol
Sweden against her. A joint decla
ration is expected from the Courts oi
Petersburg and Stockholm, 5t Great
Britain of course most cordially u
nites with th' ttl The dread of an
attack upon Zealand is said to have
oecn one ol the causes that has indu
ced the king of Denmark to grant so
readily a passage to French troops
through his dominions. And it ise
ven said, that Bonaparte has pro
mised to send out his fleets from
he Scheldt and the Texel for the pro
lection of Copenhagen.
Such arc the accounts which have
just been received from thh North,
and which, in all probability, will be
immediately followed by events of
the utmost importance.
A mail from Heligoland arrived
this morning. It has not brought
such late intelligence as we received
yesterday from Goitenburg ; l-u
prayers are said to have been order
ed to be put up T 'in Saxony for the
success oi the F'rench arms.
Moniteurs and other Paris papers
arrived last night to the 1st instant.
They contain, we are sorry to state
another instance of treachery in the

Gottrnburgh. March G.
Every day brings us some political
news. R epori states, that the king
of Prussia h.«s entered into a treaty
with Napoleon, and has consented
that all the Prussian seaports a pt
Colberg, Memel, and K mingsburg,
shall be garrisoned bv Fiench, with
an equal number of Prussian troops.
It is also said, that the Prussians are
to furnish 50,000 men to France, in
case of hostilities with Russia. The
following places in Prussian Pome
rania are already in ihe possession of
them, Schweihemunde, Anclam and
Usedein. B> rnadot'e is on a visit
to all the ports in Sweden ; & when
ever a person is found in fcivor of
France, he is sent immediately out
of the country-
Matters are fast accommodating
between Sweden and England. It
is said that Russia is to join in the
treaty, as France is making vigorous
preparations again-sther. Napoleon
is inarching troops in large bodies
northwards through Holstein, and
has already a very considerable ar
my likewise dote upon Colberg.
RugemvaUe, Feb. 24.
The French troops have began
their march through the Prussian do
minions. Their dcsiination is Po
land, and they are not to remain in
Prussian Pomerania. A treaty has
been positively signed betw< en Franee
and Prussia, but the particulars have
not yet transpired.
Colberg, Feb. 28.
The French troops have arrived
in the neighborhood, and we exp< ct
very day that this* fortress wifi be
livt-red over to them, bv order of our
Sovereign A declar«tion of war,
on the part of Sweden, against France,
is hourly expected to cake place —■
Letters from Beilin, dated the 7th
February state, >that the French
troops are approaching that capital,
and all was in the greatest conster
nation there.
From the National Inteligencer.
That an important crisis ho* nri-
ved in the United States is seen by
every one : that it has bpcn unavoid
able is equally certain ; and that it
nay be made to terminate with ho
nor and advantag to Republican go
vernment, cannot admit of doubt.
We draw this conclusion from a Arm
belief that our councils will be wise
ly and honestly administered in eve
ry branch of the government, and
the people still possess those virtues
and energies which were so eminent-
ry and successfully displayed in oil
Revolution.
The Embargo now laid is a mea
sure whose true character cannot he
mistaken. It is not war, nor does it
inevitably lead to war. But if that re
sult is avoided however much to he
regretted, it (5 evident that it can on
ly be by nn honrahle accommodation
with the belligerents, on the various
and grievous wrongs which this
country has received from them.
Among the advantages to be da-
rived from this measure are the fol
lowing: It secures from pillage the
vessels that are now in port ; it
warns the commanders of those who
are abroad, to return home for safe-
tv, and it gives notice to foreign pow
ers, that the period has arrived,
when the manifold wrong3 which we
have received from them must be
redressed.
It would be dishonorable* and
might be ruinous, if, without a re
dress of our wrongs, war did not
promptly follow the expiration of
the embargo. No other alternative
