The principal aigu> tin nt Kiev made use of against it, is tile .ff > t produced by the fa rfi u's navigation act. I’hcv still ii• < k upon that act as the palladi um of their maritime gieatness.

It is ilie supporters of the Loll did not dare to „!ldege in o p. n parliament their Strongest rrasson, lest they should tin it by be tray the l atc weaknisjof their maritime em pire. The aim ol ministers is clearly to facilitate the subsist ence ot tile colonies. Is it in the power of the new opposition to secure this subsistence otherwise than by the United States? At a time when England can scarcely lind wherewithal to maintain her owu existence ahd Supply he. navy ; when she secs the pi ice ot corn rising every week in n C r markets and is even uncertain whether she shall in future be a ble to recti Ye ant trom the ports., ol the continent of Europe, can any other than the most factious pint raise a doubt whether-muio* Mca shall be allowed to carry on a trade become evidently as indispensihle for the colonies as the air they breathe ? Vcs ; the famous na vigation act here so itnpfopetlv alluded to, was made for the splendour of the English navy —bn 1 its author cfomwell, was denhtless not at that tint* aware that FnfMa"d would colonize the whole cluster o c islands in the Atlantic. The moment the colo nies became in want of the conti nental powers, everv other consi deration should give wav to this imperious rea'-on. The colohies being the soul of trade, the iia vv exists onlv bv their without fheii support, the hoist ed wooden walls of England wotild soon fall of themselves. ‘llciitr no motive should impede their being abundantly supplied wit’i every thing -necessary to their maintenance T his would be the time for other nations al so to frame their navigation act; it is now that die United States St the eonrtne rcrr.l powers of Eu toiie might agree together. They would require neither ships, nor money, nor blond-shed to bring down that immense and frail scaffolding raised up of. the rights of their commerce. England never ceases vaunting her maritime superiority, to cool fort herself for the losses which are prepairing her inevitable fall —but never was she more ‘de pendant than since she ap pears to impose such haru laws on other nations ; she stands in more need of their help m proportion as she extends her cOnqiiests. It is with the wood and iron of the north that she scours the wide o ■ u an'to forge the chains and yoke “f India j it is with the cbm of the coni nent of America that she supports the West-Indies. ■>he Scarcely draws any more subsistence horn her owii soil, Ik tally turns duo specie the territo rial riches ot the natio ‘s Ov* r which .-tie so ‘.vamonls dnrbibeers —bui the moment they shall huve determined to vires’ them elves and tlmr posterity I on* her ein pile, ih v will onh hive io re t.ise li< r their p odticimis ; their m:-.tress will then bt oth” ineir slave. The British governt.;n as long reigned ov the divisions it contrives to ke- p ; these divi sions have, unfortunately for the coCttneru, lasted upwards of :t ceufry. But the man Who di. rec s tlie destinies ol France holds a sword in one hand and a fl n behu in the other. Get the U. States only follow the example set them in Europe, and England will not stand long discussing whether she shall derogate Tom her navigation act ; she will then implore the one which it shall suit lb two continents to dictate to her. It ts to be remarked that a ge neral cry is now raised from the four q larters of the globe against England. In india, against Iter cruelty—America, her monopo ly ; m tfrtca, her treachery—& throughout ail Europe, against i her netar'Ous system- The En glish-writcrs use every endea vour to conceal this deluge of hatred and curses.
