S did say, wiien the doors were dosed, and from tiic source of my informa tion i have no more ciouht ui the fact tnaii I have that Mr. Buriuw I as wore our minister 10 France—for 1 did not him go, and it may be a false report di.t 1 had the Lest reason to believe that, iloia the liist coming to this country, the French minister haii pressed the American government to cut of! all supplies to the Spanish pc .i .sula, and that our government had resisted that press ure. Why sir, is there any man who knows any thing of the designs or policy of the French Emperor, that thinks he is so litT sensible of fils own interest us not to have desired it ? Can it be believed that Monsr. Serrurier was sent here without powers aid without instructions to press our governi :>t to put an end to trad between’ us and the Spanish and Portuguese ! Is the French Ca binet so little enlightened as not to endea vor to attain that object so desirable to France, when that endeavor could cost them nothing? What did I say? That these at empts had been made, and I believe the pre cise expression was “ hitherto eluded,” or parried, bv an argument that might satisfy even a Frenchman; that if the Emperor wish ed not to excite the universal execration ot the people against France, he must not touch our trade to Spain and Portugal : that the people of this country would send their ves sels wherever they could get a market. I stated these facts, and 1 staled them on tin own responsibility. The gentleman from South Carolina has different impressions. I presume the gentleman has had an opportu nity of investigating the subject andascei taining win thcr such a proposition was ever made. The gentleman bows assent. With out trenching on his privileges 1 would ta p-lad to know whether the g. ntlcmai quati fi s that denial by the term “ official ! Because sir, I know rather too much of di plomacy to believe that there is black and wh te tor it, that there is any correspondence HiiJUe on tin subject. I do no; bel.cve it; hut 1 have no more doubt of the fact th..n I ■should have if you (Mi. Kp."; ker) or the gen tleman from South t. roiu.a himself were to tell me he had received and horn the President or from a Cabinet minister. 1 can have no more ; and if the information of the gentK man from S. Carolina came from the s..:;n loutce as that which I possess, al. I have to say is, that one story has been told io the gentlemen from fc. Carolina and a different story to myself. But I presume that that cannot have been the ‘act. As the old peo ple soy it otinuls to r- ~\ion that such a pr< p - sitiun should have been made hi Mr. be. m ri r. I. was too desirable an obj ct to be overlooked. Why not ask ? He c uld but mu*-, with a reftte; 1, and then he would be :.s well off'as before. Why not as weil press our government Oil tin t point as to put an end to our trade of St. Domingo ! We know that our government was so pressed and acceded to the requisition. 1 was one who joined in o doing, not because France wished it, but because I thought all the slave-holding states were du ply mieresU and in cutting olf'aU sort of communication With the devoted Island It was upon that ground and no other that i voted for the lv’. YVith ri sped to submission to the pre tentions of the belligerents more complete than the Embargo. It is direct and um q 11\ - ocai submission to the interests mcl Wishes of France that all trade between us and Spain, and Portugal, should be at an end. It is direct and unequivocal submission to the Ordin in Council, because they tell us we shall not o to Fiance, and we will there fore go no where. We lia.e received notice fi oai an . ntmy not to t. avel a pai ticulay road ; to at oid submitting to the requisition we k.ep close house—or ail nations know hiw ‘o compromise what are called their rights We have practised it or. more occasions than one, and shall again when the occasion o. - curs. There is but one nation at pus nt in ,he world that does it not frequently, and there never did exist in m recollection but one other—the ancient Romans were tiic one ; and the modem Romans, as they tail themselves, the other—aid yet the C esar of Ccsars knows will low to compromise his rights. It is Vert fine, talking about rights, but the quest,on is remedy, and you must at lust be governed by circumstances.—WTtl you pronounce that all who have gone before you have been dastards ? Will you say that Washington submitted ? That Adams’ sub mitted ? That Jefferson’s administration was a long continued course of the basest sub mission ? That the best act of the ad ministration of Adams, his accommodation with Fi ance was submission ? I hav, been torn pacific policy, but if vve are to goto war, take off tin- Emla.rj.-o !

The riotous proceedings in the man ufacturing towns, had not entirely sub sided: hut appeared less alarming. Petitions were daily presented to Parliament for the repeal of the orders in council. On the subject oi the re peal of thj orders, a discussion took ptaec in the House of Commons r,n the Bth nit. in consequence of petitions a gainst them from Hadamsliire & Sbefr field. On this occasion, the Chancel lor of the Exchequer denied Hint tlie orders in council produced the evils complained of. In reply to Mr. Whitbread he ob served, “ The honorable Gentleman had re commended that the subject should he referred to a committee, but the House should (hut this was a ease involv ng a great political question, which it was not the practice of Par liament to delegate to any cireumscri- I c.l committee, of the w hole House. A detailed examination of evidence did not appear to him to suit :v subj’ct of that kind. lie knew what an eSrci the shutting the America* market must have ; out would the Hon. Gentleman state whether he would repeal the or ders in council, and what he expected from such a step ? There was one time when Gentlemen thought that the Berlin and Milan Decrees were done away, hut that time was past, an man who knew any thing of the subject would say so now. It was notified by- France herself that they should con tinue to operate ; that they should by considered as the fundamental law of the continent, until vve ahardined cur system of blockade. There was no man it? that house who lamented (lie -I dresses that were felt more than he did, but would any man say that he was prepared to give up our maratime rights, hy which Great-Britaio had ri sen to power and consequence ? When this declaration on the part of France, with respect to the continuance of her decrees, was known in America, he w as not without hope that America would not charge upon this country an un necessary strictness in the measures la which she had resorted. But whatev er tha effect in America might ho, this country ought to know that those de crees were in full force now, and were to continue so until G. Britain should yield up those privileges upon w hich her prosperity was so strongly founded. If the Orderu'in Uouncil were repealed before the Berlin and Milan decrees, the consequence would be, that Franee would have her neutral trade open with America, while we were denied the trade of the Continent of Europe. Unless the House was prepared to say that this should be judicious, the pre sent did not seem to him to he a period in which it was possible to do away the Orders in Council. The above petitions were ordered to lie upon the table.

The last accounts from the north of Europe state, tiiat on eaeh side the troops w ere in motion towards each oth er. If, indeed, our intelligence from this quarter he correct, a most formida ble combination against Russia has been established.—More than one hundred thousand French, with three hundred Saxsor.s, Prusians, and Austrians I This is. however, the first time that we have heard of any part of the Austrian power being employed in this new con test. which from the magnitude of its preparations.intended to sweep theexar himselffrom tlie throne of his ancestors, and vve much doubt that cither the finan ces or the feeling-:; of A list ria are favour able to such an engagement.
