MARTIN, elk. * - ’ ***** j . Speech of the Hon, W. H. Cr a w-j I*ord, tn the Senate of the United | Spates lion- Mr. EillhousAs resclutim to repea It he embargo. (Concludedfrom our last') ] •. ; .. v ;• ‘/ I Mr. President, the gentleman from Connecticut has said the re peal of the embargo need not pro duce war, unless, indeed, Bonaparte ; makes war upon us; that we have still a lucrative trade open to com mercial enterprize; that for the support of doubtful rights he is not prepared to go to war, but : that he will defend neutral rights well established, and will not aban | don them ; yet the gentleman fays j that war is not neceffarv upon the ! repeal of the embargo.- (Here ! Mr. Hißhquse denied aim explain -1 ed the repeal of the embargo not j necefiariiy to involve the nation lor neutral rights not clearly eftabliA ed. Mr. C. read his words from the : National Intelligencer ) I aik gen ! tlernen when, we are told by G. | Britain that we shall trade with no other nation but herftlf, or in o ; ther words, that we shall not trade with her enemies, whether this is a violation of neutral rights clear ly established ? I can draw no o ther conclusion, than that in the j opinion of this gentleman, the or ; ders of council do not infract neu j tral rights. If he would defend neutral rights, but will not go to war on the repeal of the embargo, on account of the forcible execu tion of the B n d(h orders, it would appear that he conceives they do not violate our rights. If the em bargo fails to produce the repeal of their orders and the French de crees, war must be referred to. There is no middle ground. You must submit or oppose force by force. By way of ridiculing the embar go, the gentleman from Connecti cut states a case, that if one of his neighbors tells him he flail not SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1809. trade with another ; and that other lays he shall not w ith the fit ft, he flie in a paftion and fays he will not trade with either them. This the gen* tleman fays is a-species of magna- 1 nimity with which he is not acquain ted But, fir, let us fee what kind • of magnanimity it is with which he is acquainted, and which ht wishes this nation to practife. France fays you fliali not trade with Great Britain, and Great Bri tain fays you fliali not trade wiih France, unless you firft cotne into my ports and pay me tribute. We lay we believe our trade is very irn- : portam to both of them, and we wiU rt-t nude with the one of the o ther of them. But the gentlemen fays, repeal the embargo; there is . a lucrative trade wide open to com- j mercial enterprize, not prohibited { by the orders oi council. Sir, by i this course of conduct we should j difeever a servile fubmiflion to the j will of one nation, and a pitiful I enmity to that of the other. This, j fir, is magnanimity with a ven- i geance ; this is that species of mag- i nanimity with w hich I wilh this na tion to be, unacquainted. When in the. relation of colonies we rciifi ted an attempt to tax us; and the trifling tax of three-pence upon tea „ Iffikwffip a flame which and: A. dyed the J, t political bonds by w hich we were united to that nation. I • 1 - ‘ - r < ‘■ V *v, i ‘ - A .■ I Sir, we are told that no man in 1 this nation will think of paying tri- 1 bute ; but, fir, if we permit a for eign nation to control us in the ex ercise of our national rights, are we not ready to pay tribute ? And does one man in this nation believe that tribute will not in fact be paid, if the embargo is raised without adop ting fohre move efficient mode of coercing the belligerents into a res pect for our rights. We are informed by the gentle man from Delaware, that the ports and places from which we are not excluded by the orders, take about four-fifths of the domestic produc tions of this country. This gross calculation may be nearly correft, but it is calculated to make an er roneous imprefiion on the public mind. By examining the tdtirne ny offered to the houle of commons in England about the last of March, they all declared, that if the en-bar go was raised and the orders of council remained in force, that more than half of their exportations t< this country would cease. That before these orders were adopted, they had facilities of lending their manufactures as well as foreign pro ductions into the continent, by the agency of American ships, but when questioned how it was done, they refufsd to answer. But of 7*5,000 hhds. of tobacco, tuat are railed in this country, not more than 15,000 are confirmed in G. Brirain. What then w r culd become of the other 60,000 ? Where is it i to find a market w r hen the orders cTs council are in force? The fame ! thing may be said of various other articles. Sir, if the embargo is raised ia the prefeitf ftafe of things. and we attempt to trade under the operation of these nefarious urdtrs and decrees, the matket in Great* Britain will soon be so glutted, that v many of our mo ft valuable art cles w ill not pay the frtight. These de ductions are fairly drawn from the; depbfitions of the inoft eminent intelligent Briufh merchants, wha h have been pubidheo in our new’ p>./* pers, and deserve to he read by e** ver'y man in this nation —theft: de* positions support the dechnarion,, that a large proportion oi the pro-* ductions of this country, oftenii-* bly Ihippcd to England, was. m t confu med tr* ■ ** - x a. ■ y * into the continent.—Some of thefe* merchants fay they had nor fait ships into the continental ports but a few days before the publication’ of the orders. They are ail tinanh mo us in declaring, that these or. • ders cut up by the roots ail hope’ of further commercial connexion'- with the ports of the continent * Sir, we are deluded if we believe : that the commerce which cars be ? carried on, in the prefint state of things, will pioduce any tbin<; out dilgrciCe and lols.

Permit me to observe, that on the fubjedf of Britilh aggressions on our commerce, a great change ha? taken place in the opportents of the embargo.
