FROM THE REPORTER.
[Printedin lexingtnn, Kentucky
Who's the dupe, the United Statss
or Great Britain T
*
However much we mavbe clis
ro»e<! to ridicule the b/undrnne
r ' r goriation* of ihe British Minis
try with the different nation* of Em
rope, yet we must allow that ir.
•he recent letter* of Mr. Erskine,
they have combined the d. ep'**<
policy with the most invete a*-
necegsity.
That the late offers of rescind
ing the Orders in Council orgm
a»e in the first instance from pdi~
cy, the speech of one of the cabi
net ministers as late as the 18th
cl Ftbruary sufficiently proves.
“It is evident , the Americans
have ne ed -with the greatest par
ttahiy, thty wish to out France
and to pursue every hostile meamue
against KngUml*
Yet with thin conviction they
have suspended their otders in
council 1
That tnry are influenced by ir
resistible necessity will he collec
ted from another speech of the
«ame minister on the 7ih of Febru
ary-
“ Such is the situation of Eng -
land that on examination into the
state of the nation, and a Jull ex
position of public offaii % y would
st) ike despondency inn > the pi op e
and parat.'Ze all the ejfoi ( s 0 j the
count i y.”
It is therefore evident, that poli
cy and interest not justice dictated
the recent offers oi the British go
vernment.
By suspending tire Orders in
council, the British nation gain
every object—they neither risque
nor sacrifice the minutest particle,
they take the game entirely into
their own hands.
It was impossible that the Bri
tish Government could view their
filiation without dismay.
I he defeats & disgrace *n Spa n :
The contempt into which royal
ty is brought by the conduct ot the
duke ol York :
The deprivation of American
cotton bv the non-intercourse law.
The loss ol the Spanish wool
for their manufactures.-
The almost total stagnation ol
their trade, in const qu< nee ol
• his act, and being shut out from
the continent of Europe.
'l ire want of employ for bun.
dreds of thousands*
All these circumstances, and a
thousand others combining with
the increasing high price ol bread,
threatened unless some iffec'urd
method was immediately adopted
to complete the crisis of a com
mencement of a general insurrec
tion.
No prevention could he so i (Tec
tual as the suspension of the or
tiers iu council.—-By that suspen
sion,
They procure supplies of flout
and giain lor loud.
'1 hey procure suppli s of Cotton,
and cvet y oilur necessary prod.tc
. lion of our soil.
7 hey annihilate cur rising Ma

They tail hums the British pro
perty , How held as a pledge foi
good bthaviour, or rather as a
pledge ugriust open war,
1 hey decoy wide out on the n
cean and again expose to the tie
prtdaticns of thtir crutzer-*, the
shipping, the stamen, the met- *
chandize of our Citizens which
have so recently been saved limn
their piracies.
They accumulate into Britain,
immense wraith, the property ol ,
our | lanters and merchants.
Indeed they turn the tables com
ph ttly upon us.- —Alter all this j> ’

British government is the Dk»-

The JfcCdual mode for ae- i
put poses, would

And during the suspension id the
British orders u» councd and the
approaching sc»>u u of Congress,
ttfery bribe aui artifice will Lie* re
sorted 10.
That Britain has nothing to
loose by the offers uuw made, is
seif eridenf. She send* out an
ambassador extraordinary !
1 hat ambassador, alias, Incen.
diary, commences his negociadons
hose negor.iations are not com*
ine-need but at the Vitning of Con
gtess —they are not offered, nei
ther does he arrive, until the Bri
tish junto can form a Junto of

tion of our government on every
separate article of the treaty, to
be discussed in all their papers, &
to embarrass the energies of Con
gress ; in fine to prevent every ar
ticle which can conduce to the ho
nor, safety, interest, or toe peace
of (he United States—or the adop.
tion of any article which vvouid
fiom partiality induce the natioot
of Europe to declare War against
us.
The sole object of *■ leaders of
the federalists" is obvious from the
letter of John Adams published
this tl*y, to be the establishment
of monarchy, and as the most cer
tain mrthod of obtaining that ob
ject, war with France.
The extraoi D iary ambassador
will procrastinate •and delay at
every step—-and "hould the firm,
nets of the administration, defeat
their purposes—why, then the ne
gociations wi l he broke off, the
orders in council will be renewed,
and what is thtn our situation.
Who will have been duped ?
The grand contest is now whe
ther wc aic to abandon all lor
which we fought duiing our revo
lutionary contest, whether the na
tion* of Europe are to view us
as British colonists whether the
I'ricsts of N. England are to es.

sition & commence once more the
murder of eveiy person who dif
fers Iroin them in religion...whe
ther a handful of British agents are
to intimidate our national repre
sentatives ..whether wc ate really

ment are at this moment playing :
* lie y are waiting with anxiety the
issue of the next session. And
the power* ~| Europe will not he in
different Recollecting
.he indecision of the last congress
the Macniavi lian policy of Rose 1 ,
die deep laid scheme of Toryism,
we acknowledge that wc tremble
lor the happiness of our common
country.
During the approaching nego
tiations with Britain will the Bri
tish ministry abandon the right ol
search ?
• The right of impressment ?
Wilt they define the rights of
blockade ?
lfiliev do not, there cannot be
a treaty——vve may sign what we
may cal! a treaty, hut it will only
iH* an offensive alliance with G.cal
Britain !
Or we must abandon the right
oi search with Britain equally to

We must admit that if natur.

by nat iii alized citizens has neither

to all ti\e world one of the articles
of Mom oc's treaty.
Or we must declare War bv
