Mr. Tsflor dec! red his opinion
to he in petfeci conf’onance with that
of the gentleman from MafFachufeit?
;ti regard to the continuance of the
embargo. He {aid that before the ex
piration of eighteen months he also
should be prepared to engaae j n open
and honorable vr?r fare, if the embar
go did not in a rcafona'ole time, pro
cure a redress ou: grievances. A
period long short of eighteen months
would havfc exbaulied the patience of
the natbn,.and tested the efßcacy of
the tneafure. Mr. T. laid there were
no veflels now abroad which had not
already incurred the penalties of this
art, by taking out a lifence. If they
had not they would soon fall into the
clutches of the belligerents. So that
in fad the firfl fed ion was a work of
fuperrerogadon. ihe second fefction
should t>9 edouied indtfsnderuly of

! the embargo or any oilier mealure.
Indeed gentlemen who had voted in
favor of the reioluuon exprdfive ol a
de ermination to resist the belligerent
{ edids, could not consist -ntly vote a
gainil thi’j fedion, lor twent to rt lilt
one of the molt odious parts of an c
; did of one of the .belli erents—that
pari which requires our vessels to uke
out licenses nr order to puGue their
la ; r commerce.
Mr. Durell exprcfTed himfelf deci
ded!y in favor of the principle, but
Bid not likc legislating by piece meal,
palling to-day and a fedion
j to-morrow, a law to-day 2nd a law
j to-morrow. He v;jfhfd toscr it con
[ nrded with a gtneiai plan of rcdxs-.
: tauce.
Mr. New ten had no idea by the
: fir ft fedion of .this bill to pledge the
boufe to the cor.; in nance ol the fin.
brrgo for eighteen months. He con-
Sdcred it no pledge for even fix or
monihs. If the embargo did
not operate as a coercive measure, he
was prepared to take that attitude
which should by force f cure to us
that jultice we had hitherto in vain at
tempted to procure in any other mode.
If the b uropean nations did not meet
us in a short time, as they ought to do,
in amicable arrangements, he was pre
parcel to 61 cty havtxik and let loofa
the doyn of vv„r.” A- he had no very
particular partiality for the fitif fec
tioti, in order to accotmn date the
gentleman from hlaffachufetts, he
would now withdraw his fuuport of
it.
Mr. T roup considered the firfl sec
tion fuperliuous ; for our veflels
could not now c ontinue abroad, ex
cept they traded und r foreign iicen
fes.
Mr. Gardner defended the people
j of the eGrern Bales from insinuations
againlt their patriptisnr.and used fome
to tkew that the angry pas-
Jions fliould not ’ be exetteu in the
ho use but rather allayed.
Mr. Sloan fa id, he understood fome
gentlemen to cor.bdcr the present bill
as conncGed with the embargo; that
firing the case he had done with it.
it was fufficient for him to know that
any thing had connexion with the em
bargo to induce him to reject.
