You know limv preaf the influence of the l>utcb, French, and Torfuguese at otie Mine van in the fast——and it no b.ntVr exists. In like mannir oth ers fell beneath the frraud or force of the cmvcrsal njfttuper. 'Hiese moans ot course irvrensed the Fv g hsh marine, whilst they xiertroved even the commercial character cf those who had beclt I'nglaiiil’smic ct'ssful rivals'. an!l tF.eietore yen will not be surplised that in our day «e witness the supremacy of ihe British marine ; it is the tie ccssarv effect of 1 ’ls years' intrigue, In berv, and plunder. Bv their own laws the English de clare, that no native seamen or oth *r person, can thcome a another country ; yet they r <ke from the ships ot the Kits«fans, Dims, Swedes, Uuich, and A me* ricaiia, such seamen as they want, and declare by other law, that .by two veais service (datention) in • heir ships, these seamen have lost all claim to the r owe character as Americans. and have betonne British subjects. This is thr wav mi which their murine has been maintained. As therefore, the powers of the Ku.ropcast contnent could not, by bf rite e\-rcise of force, either niirinraiH riieir otv-n i-r-adc or that in American bottoms, they resorted l*o proclamairsns, swch as th'ose of the Ent'-hsh ;■ and, net to be out, done m a-bvud.it v, »Iwey deoh.red ifre British Mauds hi »■ state of Wtoeka.-I.cv, ftuibxdie eoßfirtionsr waili them. Sa tlmt - merienns mosi not go to the con'i nent and France said “ if the English will not suffer you to trade with us, veil shall not trade with them ; but ihe moment they re tract, we will.” You may ask, whether America would stibmit t»» this ? As the first wrong was done by England, and as the cessation of injury ou her part, would produce the same con. duct in France, of course a com plaint was made against the injus tice ant* nranny exercised ; hut it produced no redress, and, there, lore, none could be expected from the latter. This denial of redress is, in fact, among ihe hast of those evidences of the vindictive and envious dispo sition of Britain, that her former colioie'- have had. Yon, who so well konw our laws in suen caso*, will start with sur. prise Hid horror, when I tell you, ! that ahost a year ago a British ship of wat atfacked an American frigate in an Areriean harbor, killed and wounded several men, compelled the frigate to strike its colours— 5t that redress lias never Wen given lor the outrage and murder; nay, that ihe perpetrator of those acts has barn promoted in command, and »e#t to onr Eastern teas. Tns sou would nCt believe, if I di*f not Uius a-*nre von of its truui. How differently did our • country be lave about the same pe | r od—-A Clinese was killed bv a *h<x from a British ship, and the English consul was immediately seized and <cr.ained, until the man "lio had given the order to fire was su'iendeied to our laws and pun •sled.
