Orders iri Council. Lord Auckland dated, that a no ble friend of h/s,, (Lord Grenville) whole abfence, on occafion of di ne fs, he had t) regret, but whofe Ninels would for; he hoped, be cf lor,g continence, had requefted him to flat* to the Houfe, that if he (Lord Grenville) had been ena r bleu to bf prefent, he fhould have joined in e very tribute of applaule to the mtfits of Sir Arthur Wellef ley. Ha noble friend had alfo re queftecfAim to move, that the Lords be fuiimoned for this day fortnight, when it was the intention of his ficbfi friend to bring forward a mor/on toaddfefshis majefty to re fciid the orders in council; and to foi/nd that motion upon the letter which had been publifhed from Mr. Pinkney, the American minifter to our government j and the anfwerof the fecretary of flare. It was r quifite that thofe papers fhould be before the Houfe* and his lordfhip, therefore, moved for the correfpon dence between the miniflers of the two governments. The Earl of Liverpool wifhed to confine the production of papers to thofe who had been publifhed by the American government and ©bfefved, that- no communication W4s made to Parliament refpefting America', because our exiflingrela tions with the United States were not in that flare which would au thorife fuch a communication. Lord Erfkine expreffed his decided opinion, that if the propofl tion of the American government, reipe&ing the refeinding the ordeis in council* were agreed to, there would be war between the United States and France in a month. Lord Auckland movtd, that there be laid before the Houte co pies of extracts of fuch correfpon dence as may have takenpiace be tween his majelly's miniflers, and the government of the U. States of America, fince January 1808. Agreed to. Baltimore, March 25. The Federal Republican of yef terday morning, with .its ufual re gard for truth, informs—that Tea men cannot be had in fufficient numbers to .carry on the fmall por tion of commerce permitted ] and intimates, they have fought refuge in foreign nations, inftead of apply ing to the labors of agriculture and the arts, as.the republicans have ccnftantly ftated. From hence they would infer that * the embar go has net preferved.our feamen.’ . It is fadt—that there are more than 300 feamen flow in port wait ing for employment. - 3 it is fadt—that very lately a num ber of men were enjifted in this city for the United States fervice, and fent to Walhinton, &c. . - It is fadl—rthat about 409 feamen have failed from this port fince the fifteenth ioftant. It is £adt—that fcores of them come in from the country every day, and that, many return rather than rifk their liberty on the ocean. It is Taft—that many prefer 10 dollars per month on land, to 30 dollars per month go water, in the prefent ftate of things. . , ‘ , It is fadt—that the waives of feT men are high (about so dollars) and, it is very certain, they to be fo, Every man's profit lhouid be in proportion to the rifle he runs. It is morally certain—that BQt withftanding the rifk, as loon-as the prefent high wages are known through the country, that this city will have a great many more fea men .than will find employment e- reduced prices. ... p We fay the f embargo has ferved our feamen,* and that no man can, with; juftice deny it. Hun dreds of feamen have various trades —they are at work at thefe, and cannot in a moment abandon them, admitting they felt perfectly free to riik themfelves among the harpies of Europe.— Pofi. THE. PROSPECT 1 We can alTure our friends that the .profpedl of republican fuccefs is truly animating. In ail quarters the good old Ipirit has revived.*— The wavering are confirmed—the deluded are returning. The outra geous conduct of. the Legflature has converted thoufands. It is im poffible for .the dandid.federalift tq refill the vaft mafs of evidence now prefling upon him. Were thee lettion delayed three weeks longer, that light might fpread into the re mote fe&ions of the Common wealth, a very large republican majority, would be mathematically certain. As it is, nothing but a neglect of the means we have in our power can prevent our glorious triumph. It cannot be poflible that even federalifts will give their votes to fuch a deteftable character as Gore. Nat. Aegis. Charleston, April 6.
