When the embargo was laid, the feder
alists claimed it to be a French meature—
that is, that it was Intended to operate in
favour of Bonaparte's great scheme of po
licy to destroy Great-Britain. This was
believed to be the fact, not only because
Mr: Jefferson always inclined to the side of
the French, and against the British; but
from the very state of things. It was per*
fectly apparent, that although in terms,
the embargo professed to be impartial be
tween these two great powers, yet its ef
fects must necessarily be almost exclusive
ly felt by Great-Britain. Viewing it in the
same light that the federalists did, Bona
parte himself approved of the measure.—
Nothing can more conclusively establish
the justice of the federal idea than this
fact—for his Imperial Majesty never ap
proved of a measure in any government,
which was intended to affect his own inte
rcets unfavourably.
When the Jeffersonians found themselves
under the necessity of abandoning this two
tided (and therefore favourite) measure,
they were forced by circumstances to adopt
seme ssbethute ; and ae no better was at
hand, they took the non-intercourse. This
law carried something more than nominal
impartiality in its operations, and of course,
his Imperial Majesty's face low tied at the
assurance of our government in daring \o
take a step contrary to his sovereign plea
sure. Without taking any very decisive
measures Immediately, he more prudently
waited for our trade to float within the
reach ofhjs chiV-hH, and when his ports
