A period long short of eighteen months would havfc exbaulied the patience of the natbn,.and tested the efßcacy of the tneafure.

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.
