If France will not annul her Dtcrees, we still enforce the Embargo against France. France, it is thought, will not relax het Decrees; and the consequent eidoccement of the Embargo against her, on our part, is. to all intents and pun. poses. placing France in the Marne situation with regard to us, as the Orders place her. Heuer, inilese France will rescind her Decrees. (and it is thought she will not; the British can have no pretext on that seer to resist the amicable pro position of our Administration ; and the conclusion drawn by, the Editor of The National /atc:ligesee► dors not hold good.

For seine weeks past immense speculations have been made in articles usually exported to Great Britain and her dependencies, to Spain and Portu gal and their dependencies, on a fair presumption that the Embargo would be raised on the meeting of Congress. This spirit of speculation has been inereased (rem the consoling language of the pub lic papers printed under the eye of eur•Administra tiou, holding up the idea that all was going on well between the Governments of Great Britain and that of the United States. As yet, we have seen nothing to discourage the speculations here spoken of, though the arrisol of the Hope gives no hopes of either England or Franey removing their decrees against neutrals. Even if the Hope hod brought positive news of the rescinding of the British °niers in Council, which was a few days since expected, our situation relative to the raising of the Embargo would not, in our good opinion, have been altered ; for though the prospect of its bring raised would certainly have been more ap parent, in reality it would make no difference as to the propriety of raising the Embargo ; for, sup pose the British Orders removed, we could send no vessels to France, Holland, Italy, or the Baltic, or any place under the domination of France. It is therefore of no consequence to us, whether the Orders in Council be rescinded or not. lithe embargo is raised, it will he because the first cause of laying it is removed, and because the second cause never will be removed. To be more explicit; the einoargo was laid, first, to get house the proper) , that wit. abroad. This object has been far accomplished as it ever will be. The pro. erty still abroad has been unwarrantably laid hold of by Bonaparte and to. and there remains no hope of recovering it. The first object of the embargo is then accomplished. The second reason for laying the embargo was, to humble the bellige rents, or to starve theta into compliance. As we find, from ten months experience, that they never can be starred or humbled, then of coarse this rea son for the embargo also fails. Neither France nor England will be thefirsr its removing their decree*. What then is more reasonable than to suppose, that the embargo will be raised very soon after the meeting of Congress? For our parts, we are asto nished that any man of common sense rim believe For a moment, that the embargo sill continue. Bebidvs the above, there are nutnerotts other rea- osons for raising the embargo ; one of which is, that the measure is a very unpopular one, as has been evinced by the late elections. It may be said, with ' truth, that 14 at the time, it Was supposed that the voting for • Democrat would be the cause Of conti ww;wg tho esisherso. there would not have been a single Democratic Candidate returned in • single town in the Union—ea unpopular is the embargo. To close,our Cabinet, eat being unckangeable,will, ~and 341:s* raise the embargo. Therefore the pur ..ehme of produce, the loading of ships, and the 'shipping of seamen, may go on without inter . naption. lIZW TOIL, OCT. 9.9. . t 1 The followin; remarks es the dispatcher. received from Pinckney, by the barque Richard, are copied from Mr. Madison's //suitor. The reader is re ' quested to cotitrast this language with that pub lisbcid in clesiaq . paper just previous to the termi nauosof..the Elections in Pennsylvania and New Jersey ; at which time, this same Noitirear-man endeavoured to convince his readers that there was no doubt or a speedy settlement with Great Bri tain. This same fellow may now tell the truth, or lie may lie--oue is as probable as the other. It is, however, a fact. that by his lately holding up the idea that the differences with England would soon be adjusted, while it was considered by many to be a base electioneering trick. thousands of others commenced their commercial optitations, on an ex pectation of the Embargo being soon raised : who will. if he maw tell the truth, be ruined. For such conduct he deserves the public execration. Government has received dispatches from Mr. Pinckney, our Minister at London, of the date of September 14. At that period he nod not received the expected answer to his representations to the Chateeravaamtr_ It would seem, from all we can kern, that the Cabinet of St. James is resolved not to furnish its reply, by which it shall commit itself with our Government, either one way or the other, before it is too late for the iutelligence to reach this country previously to the termination of the presi dential election: And further, that Great Britaist is influenced to such strange conduct, by the expect ation of an insurrection in the United States, which she is led to believe will occur, from the supposition that the people of this country will not submit to the embargo, when the ports of Spain and Portugal are known to be open to them.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Novutass 30. We yesterday announced the arrival, at Lit et pool, of a vessel from Nes-York, which place ►he left on this 7th instant, having broken the Em bargo. We have received by her Nes-York papers to the sth, from which it appears, the on the arrival of the Rickard, Captain Ottt- ORME, at New-York, from Liverpool, on the 2 , 4 d of October, considerable expectation had been raised, from a report of war between France and the United States, that the Embargo would be soon withdrawn as to this country; and exten sive commercial speculations had been eonseitent ly entered into. This expectation was, however, of abort continuance; and we are informed, that when the vessel sailed, it was the prevailing belief, that the Embargo would remnin in force. The statements in the later papers (The New York Gazette and General Advertiser) are strongly to this effect. The schooticr Hope had arrived on the 47tli of Oc ' toher, with dispatches from France and Eng -I,nd, in twenty-six days, from Cowes. The paper of the 4th instant containa an interest ing Speech of the Governor of the State of New- York, delivered on the Ist instant, to the Le gislature of that State, convened at Albany, for the purpose of nominating the electors who were to make choice of President and Vice-President— and which speech decidedly favours the continu ance of the Embargo. The Governor informs the Legislature, that up to the latest dates of arrivals from Europe, no change in the conduct of the Rel ligerenn towards America had taken place. lie recommends to all ranks to rest the most implicit confidence in the Government—That, in his opi nion, • continuance of the Embargo was prefer able to war; but that even wgr, if tittatoidable, was peefertitle to a renewed intercourse with the Belligerents, under the existing eirrunista:.cr.— The Legislature had eh etad for their Speaker, Mr. %YUJI:ENS (understoood to be of the Republican partyl, by a majority of GO to 45.—The pa , :k44 of the present month was expected to sail front New-York on the 14th instant, direct for Fal mouth. The exhilirating amounts transmitted from Spain, as we are taught to believe, by the Mediator, and circulated with so much alacrity through London, appear to dissolve on examination, and to be inelpuble of standing the test of discuswon.— Yet, as it seems to be admitted that the frigate in question left either Santone, or St. Andero, on the 17th instant, it must be supposed that such reports prevailed there, in the vicinity of BLitse's army ; and they may at least counterbalance the reports sent home from Lugo, in Gallicia, of only a day later. When we reflect on the distance of Lugo from the scene of military operations, and still more when we take into consideration the difficul ties attending all passage across Leon, from Bur gos, or from the Ebro, or from Madrid, to Co runna. difficulties which those only who have tra velled in Spain can conceive, we shall not be asto nished at the imperfect information received in a remote province, of the transactions passing in the Capital, or at the other extreiuity of the kingdom. Whether these recent account, are, or are not, how ever, confirmed by the event, we confidently be lieve. from every source of inquiry which is open to us, that the most implicit reliance may be placed on the loyalty, valour, and constancy, of the Spenich People, on their present insurrection against the most opprobrious, unprovoked, and flagitious attack, which violence, perfidy, and usurped poser, ever executed against a nation. —Those who fore.er in the present straggle only the most disastnius terintnatiou, and who fully believe that BONAPARTE will succeed in his ne farious enterprise, yet equally admit this truth. —ln fact, there is in the people of Spain a pri meval simplicity, a religions belief, and au af fection for those usage., of every description. which Si:twill's rendered venerable, which we would vainly seek in any other of the European states. They love PERDIN•7II) VII. not because he possesses any of the qualities of • hero or of a legislator, not because he resembles CHARLES V. or LIENS! IV. his ancestors ; but, as in the middle ages, be fore philosophy enlightened and corrupted the mind, the subject lowed and venerated his Prince. Their history eloquently proves the assertion.— It was not Louts the XlVtJi who placed PHILIP the Val on the Spanish Throne, nor the arms of France which confirmed him on it. The inflexible adherence, and the incorruptible fidelity of the Castilians ■lone, preserved and maintained him— when his grandfather, reduced by Mantsotint:on to sue for peace at Gertruydruberg, in 1709 and 1709, consented to abandoo the Duke of ANJOU to his fate. Such, we doubt net, the present Can. tilisits and Arragonese will he found. But much as we count upon the valour, loyalty, ■ad patriot i.e. of the Spanish nation, we cannot forget that corruption is the principal weapon, and by no means the bast dangerous one, wielded by the Revels tinaarr T)ratit who now desolates the world. It is the detestable engine by which he darkly prepared these triumphs. sad secured those victories. which hare biased in our eyes in his campsigin Germany and Poland, and which he repeat w ith eqmil brilliancy in Spain.—N o; , standing, however, these poisoned weapons, with which he assails the human mind, and rupts the human heart, we believe that heath iii the natio% in the peasantry. in the soldiers, the wonivll. in the middle ranks, and eve!, it tipper ord.la. insuperable barriers to Iris :tree, designs.
