ilnslußg assertion of info .nous false- i
(l;an the “ National Intelligen
, ergun cf government. It says
,’gpbargo will preserve our proper
jjv such an outrageous libel,
n t n every seaport in tb<> Union,
GB the mere rumor of t!:is French
rsur*. of this t erra P in :ut * over y
~f i es of industry was immediately
requisition, to hurry the property
. our citizens beyond its reach r
flat circumstance alone proves it
iiioK*. and if at its expiration vve are
have Avar vvitn England, which cun
be believed, it is highly impolitic
it! truly disgraceful, to deprive cur
roptrty of the only markets which it
tn safely enter, viz. Spam, Portugal
~j England, in compliance with the
[ishes, and in subserviency to the
ievm of Napoleon. Is our commerce
i (barer to these nations, a commerce
}’ thirty-eight millions, except from
‘reirh pirates? The Orders of En
kwl only affect a degraded, colonial
iernced, and unprofitable trade of less
ban a million: yet (lie National
atcßigr veer complains of the opera
ion of the Orders, and adduces it as a
ause for the suicidal Embargo, when
]\cy have iittie or n operation. How
nany vessels are captured by Friiish
rraizers, out of the hundreds which
ly from their own ports? Scarcely
one, while proof of (he rigorous oper
ation of the Decrees is multiplied so
thick, as to dispel (he wilful blindness
of corruption or stupidity itself. Yet
this national paper ims the hardihood
to assert, “ not a single case has occur
red, since F.-cnce revoked her Decrees,
ft tinting’ their operation, and many
r radical examples hare been adduced
to.prove their repeal; and (his too in
open defaa.ee of all the certificates of
‘sufferers, end the numerous, undoubted
;ad undisputed evidence of burning
seizing and robbing our vessels under
the sanction of these same Decrees!!!
When such false, such disgraceful as
sertions are resorted to, in order to
support a ruinous policy built upon
faiseheod avid supported by a false
proclamation, how lest to seif respect,
tioV, tiTvunsfblc to -i,n>i
1 gator; to (hrdty is sucli unworthy
and infatneng deception!!! It thus
1 appears that government still adhere
,to the ir old are.! erroneous ground, o 1
1 tac actual repeal of the French De
cree*, a ground repeatedly and un
amvv erablv proved both by fact and
argument, false, in every particular;
arc now acting upon it, aud finding
Napoleon not content merely with the
non-importation act, have adopted the
■‘longer measure of an Embargo.
The “ National Intelligencer'’ also
beasts “ of retorting on its authors the
injurious effects of belligerent warfare
on our neutral rigths , by severe commer
tid restrictions .” What an infamous
assertion ! What an outrageous insult!
What pompous and contemptible
boasting! When the revenue is des
troyed, the treasury drained, the fi
tances deraageu, a necessity for loans,
internal ami direct taxes, commerce
1: hroyed, produce ratting in store,
universal and general distress; when
British earr.Mt- • c is left without a ri
val, aad the resources of the whole
vro: and [excepting a part of tire conti
nent! is thrown into her lap ; when
the Embargo and other measures made
her independent of as, and diverted
‘bo tide cfour prosperity into the eur
revt which nourishes her greatness;—
‘•’ ben France was so displeased and in
feed at the withdrawal of ihtt un
constitutional act, than she immediate
ly retaliated, r-s she calls it, by her
plundering Rambouillet Decree; when
ui fine the whole world, despis
'd and scorned our pusillanimous poli-
J> which encouraged even the con
temptible and piratical nation of Deu
ma-k, to plunder end insult us; when
•Feb are the deplorable effects of a
rase and cowardlypolicy, the M Nation-
N Intelligencer,” speaking the senti
raests, if not the language of adminis
tration, dares to announce the degrad
es insuit to an enlightened nation, of
us severe effects on other nations!!!
Biota himself, were he to abandon his
§flra horrid throne in the Tarta
rean region. , nui uak i a momentary
appearance on earth, could not speak
more congenial sentiments.
The paragraphs in the.governntent
paper, in announcing their views and
justifying their measures, admit, what
has been uniformly asserted and sup
ported by fact; the systematic hosti
lity of administrat ion to commerce, by
refusing it protection and converting it
into a means of warfare; why else
boast of the severe effects on the belli
gerents, of our commercial restric
tions? Why else sacrifice thirty-eight
millions of trade, to a colonial fra He
a licensed and degraded intercourse,
of one million ? There is now no doubt
on this subject.
We shall forbear further comment,
on this paper for the present, for if
teems with false statements, erroneous
and grovelling views; it i a fountain
strongly impregnated with deleterious
and noxious particles, sickening the
mind, deadening the sensibility and
corrupting the principles of the unsus
pecting and ungarded.
A resolution has been adopted by
the House of Representatives for an
adjournment.
IT is reported that poor Madison has
disavowed the Amelia business. When vve
consider, that Mathews and others were ac
tually employed to foment dissentions in that
colony—w hen iir. Foster last summer accu
sed administration of encouraging and bri
bing traitors, to wrest from Spain that pro- I
virtce, which was i.ot denied but justified on
the principle of plunder. When the inva
sion of Amelia by American citizens was di
rectly patronised, by a total silence, when
the intention vvts long’ known to make the
invasion, thereby giving an implied and ex
press approbation to such .n unjust and in- 1
famous act—when this invasion was made
with the immetl ate co* operation of the land I
and naval forces of the United States, the
commanders of w liieh could not have dared to
have involved the national flag and honor in
such a disgraceful transaction, w ithout some
orders to that effect—when the affair was
thought so congenial to the principles, and
policy, and views, and spirit of administra
tion, that it was generally applauded and ap
proved by democrats—when in fine, there is
not a shadow of doubt, but that the infamous
ison, was superintended by him thro’ an t ,_,
grades, and having failed from had manage
ment after several months preparation, was
abandoned—What opinion can be formed of
administration ? to speak most favorably, they
are without spirit or principle. To coward
ly forsake those engaged in a dishonorable
transaction, when encouraged to its commis
sion, and throw upon the deluded all its odi
um, is an act w hich a man of spirit would
scorn and despise.

We have waited with impatience far
a long time to see Ihe Report of the
Committee to whom Henry’s papers
were referred in ike Beuate. \\ e now
understand that body mean to evince
their displeasure at the conduct of the
executive, by treating the message
with indignity end silent contempt,
ir Mr. Ronsaevilfi- was one of Henry’s
kidney aud had half his talent of
swindling, we should suppose lie could
get at least £50,000 for answering the
interrogatories propounded to him by
the wonderfully great Air. Speaker
Clay. But as so much sensibility is
discovered en the present occasion,
how happened it that Ler,.eel riar.yc-r
was not hauled over the coals for di
vulging secrets through hi- “ Secre
tary, pro. fete.” Mr. Sajvver was a
democrat, and every party as well as
individual, certainly has a right oteii
their own secrets. As to the Erabarao
law, v.e believe it was infentiotinily
delayed and made known for the very
purpose of defeating its object, by
which means Bonaparte and Serrarier
were cheated, ar.d at least Bt<o.ooo bar
rels of Hour were shipped to .Spain and
Portugal.
Balt, Fed. Dan.
Livekpoot., March 14.
The last Anholt mail has brought
letters and paper- containing intelli
gence which has excited considerable
utt. ution. Report, or.- again reite
rated, and symptoms in greater number
than ever are detailed, of approaching I
quarrels and disturbances in the North
of Europe. ‘Fhe foreign journal* have
been so long filled with these rumors,
that they have almost ceased to excite
either attention or interest; but it must
be t'Ki'V .ed that the conduct es many
of the European Potentate[ the only
language, as Hr, Johnson said, that
rarely lies] indicates great probability
of a war, either impending or appro* I
headed. The accumulation oiTunch
troops oil the different Herman, Prus
sian, Danish, and Polish frontiers,has
increased to such a degree, that they
are now estimated at 3o<y;oo men ! a
ea.leul.ition which though undoubtedly
exaggerated,shows that the march of
troops and the activity of preparation
have hern most extraordinary. French
troops, it is positively affirmed,are ad
vancing in great force to take possesion
of the seaports of Prussia, in conform
ity to a convention recently concluded
between the two monarch*. Another
treaty has been concluded between
France and Denmark, by which it is
stipulated that Bonapcite is to have
permission to raise OOOU cavalry in
Holstein, where the horse*are, we be
lieve, superior to any on <b* continent
of Europe. He is afsotto be permitted
to march any number of troops through
the Danish territories, provided they
do not exceed 0000 at a time. These
circumstances give us assurances much
stronger that the speculation:. of Ga
zettes, or even the opinion of a states
man, that a storm is rising which threat
ens once, more to involve the greatest
of Europe in carnage and desolation.
The treaties of Princes, when they con
tain warlike provisions, are usually the
first distant precursors of an approach
ing contest. When the movement of
armies follow s at no great distance, we
may lie sure that the aspect of affairs
will soon become serious.
This critical state of affairs in the
north sufficiently explains the reason
why the French Emperor has not sent
an overw helming force to put an end to
the war in the Peninsula. Delias so
many quarrSßon his hands at a time,
that even the immense resources of the
great nation are not sufficient to enable
him to act desively in every quarter. He
is obliged to take them in turn and be
stow bis chief attention on the strongest
enemy. Even in Spain, however, we
are again told of an unexpected accu
mulation of French troops. It is now
greatly doubted whether the meditated
siege of Bauujos can he undertaken
with any prospect of success, as con
trary to all the ■cjinvi.jmtations wliioi.
hav e hitherto been made, trie French
have a very powerful army at Seville,
under Soult which is said, will lie com
petent to oblige the assaillauts to re
cross the Guadiana. AY hen the siege
of lladajoz was first thought of it was
03 rite supposition that the enemy would
not be able to act on the Guadalquiver
in any considerable force.
We observe with much satisfaction,
that a genera! meeting of Ibe mer
chants and principal inhabitants of
the town is convened for Tuesday next
to take into consideration the proprie
ty of some application to the Legisla
ture on the approaching expiration of
the Easl-lndia Company charter—
Meetings of this kind have already
been held in some of the principal
trading towns of the kingdom; and
they cannot fail to hav e a proper effect
on the great discussion which is soon
to take place in parliament on this
great national question. Ministers,
indeed, seem disposed, without much
solicitation, to listen to the voice of the
public on this important subject, but
not perhaps to (lie extent, which a li
beral and enlightened policy, as well
as the exigencies of the times more
forcibly recommended.
A meeting of the merchants, ship
owners and inhabitants of Plymouth,
was held on Monday se’nnight, at
which it was resolved—“ That a peti
tion lie prepared and presented to the
honorable House of Commons, praying
that the charter granted to the East?
India Company ir ay not be renewed ;
but that, if parliament shall in its wis
dom think fit to renew the charter, that I
the liberty of trading to the East-In
dies may be extended to the port of
Plymouth.”
