BclVcfLondon) Weekly Messenger, I7“On
commenting on the King’s Speech, has
the following liberal and just remarks:
k The Spanish affairs are mentioned in ri
tnanner which necessarily implies the dc~
\ermination of his Majesty's Ministers to
persist in that foolish, very foolish cause—
Sftain was lest when the cause sods made a
royal one; when the content was embodied in ■
to a buttle for Ferdinand the 7th W the legi
timate Government—Legititnate Govern
ment, indeed !—Why it was under the le
gitimate Government that Spain dwindled
down from her proud summit of greatness
<ind prosperity to what she is now —the
lowest, the most degraded of alt the states
of Europe—It was under the legitimate
government of thc^Prince sf Fence, Charles
the Sixth, and the Queen, that the Spanish
Court became the bye word for infamy,and
that the nation was rendered contemptible.
We should think very til of any Spaniard
who could cordially lake up arms foe such
a “ Legitimate Government."—Ills cer
tainly to the benefit of society, and therc~
fore a law of reason, that there should be
such things as Constitutions—so many per
manent systems of Government, which man
receive and protect successix>e generations
— Without the acknowledgement of this
principle, a state of society would be a state
of perpetual anarchy—Every generation
"would have to make a government far it
*e!f, that is to say, every generation would
have a civil war of i's own—But there is
likewise a limit to this principle, and no
*>ne must venture to assert, that a jieoplr,
to the end of lime, and under all the modern
improvements of human reason, are to be
saddled with a vicious government—with
the effecte, the barbarous Constitution of
their attceslors of the woods.
This limit is to be sought in reason—and
in the exiretnity of evident and sensible
evils. The mischief of changes is great—
Ik hen the mischief of the existing system,
therefore, is evidently greater—when the
decline, the degradation, the fall of the state
'under the continuance of that sustem, are
evident—a matter of sense Itf not of reason"
ing—When oppression, in wholesale and
retail, in divisions I’f subdivisions, in sourer,
in riverpn rivulet, and. in brook, pervades
the whole surface of the kingdom—When
Court, Nobility, and People, are all at once
degraded—a Court of Pigmicb, bo’h in body
and mind, and a nation of Ldzzaroni ;—
When the sun shines in vein, and the full
flowing bounties of nature are lost for want
ef industry even to receive them—When
t/ie >horn stifles the fig tree, and the corn
cannot rise amidst its impending weeds,—
;under such a s'a'e of things, the voice of
JKaturr, 'J'ruth, ami Duty is dear and load
—max do roux nvrr afd act /or raun
SF.i.r. You ure thrown back 0:1 your firi
tnarual relations. You arc no longer bound
hxj the ignorance of your fathers— Y'-u have
the lamfi within yon—employ it, arid walk
by your own light.,
Sftch should he the due consideration of
the stoic of the Spanish A'ation—Legiti
mate Government! perish such Legitimate
Governments from the fair rf the earth, t'
from, the memory of man. If we were
Spaniards, w would ■>,- toner f.a,j France f m j

BRITISH AND FRENCH EDICT]. i
The DOCUMENTS, which were Ir.id
before the H. of R. on the last day of the ses
sion, give some gleams of hope, that the
obnoxious decrees of the belligerents will be
repealed and our rights respected—that a
sort of CIIR*NOI.®GICAL ADJUSTMENT Will
take place--that is, that each nation will
take off their respective edicts, in the order
of their dates.
France, at least, has pledged herself to
this course of proceeding. Her minister of
inreign Relations, has assured our minister
that “ the only condition required for the
revocation by J.is majesty, of the Decree of
Merlin, will be a previous revocation by the
British government of her blockades of
France, or part ot France (such a3 that
from the Elbe to Brest, &fc;) of a date
antehiob to that of the aforesaid decree;
\nd that if the British government would
then rt-cdl the Orders in Council, which
had occasioned the decree of Milan, that
decree should also be annulled,” A propo
•ntinn inconsequence, been made to the
British Cabinet, on the part of Mr. Pinkney,
to recall “ her proclamation or illegal block
ades which are of a date prior to thatof the
Berlin decree, or to give a formal declara_
tion that they are nci ;io~m infvrce” The
despatches by the John Adams, will, most
probably bring us the resuit of the' negocia_
tions on this laadmg point.
To cast greater light on ‘hispoint, Ictus
take a brief historical sketch of the illegal
i blockade orders, which have been issued hr
G. 11. (luring this war, anterior to the Berlin
Decree.
On the 12th April, 1804, Mr. Merry In
forms the Sec. ot State, that hi* majesty’s
government had thought proper to yield to
<’'»r remonstrances against the blockade of
Martinique and Gaud.iloupe, and to send in
structions to Commodore Hood on that sta
tion, regal-ting thfe nature of the block..
n:le-Incse instructions, by the bye, are
the severest satire that cap be written a
giinst their own illegal *ROCLAMATI05J
blockades-they ..furnish the strongest
proofs, that the doctrines which we have
uni/ortply held respecting blockades, have
been admitted bv our aggressors themselves.
Sir Evan Nepean, secretary to the board of
{'dmiialty, expressly orders Commodore
Hood, in tile name of the I.ords of the Ad
miralty, " not to ronsider any blockade of
those Islands as existing, unless-in respect
of particular ports which m>y be actual’.t
IKVKstrw, and then not to rapture vessjls
bound to such ports, Unless they shall previ"
ouslv have been warned rtofc to enter them.”
In fact this doctrine is especially recognised
by G. Britain in her last Treaty with Rus
lit). . j
Tne next official paper, Which occurs to
on, is the Circular from Lord Harrowby ol
August 9, 1804., addressed to the ministers
of neutral nations residing in London, and
communicated to Col. Monroe-*-—in this,
the king is said to have “judged it expedient
(for tpe protection of his subjects and the
arnoyar r of his enemies) to establish the
most rip*iron» blockade at the trances ot
the pons of Kecnmp, Sr. Vallcry.au Canx,
Dieppe, l 'rprrt, the Somme, Ktaples,
Ro-.ili.gne, Calais, (»ravelines, jlunkirk,
, Newj>ott and Oster ” On rb« 8tU Afritj
150G, Mi*. Fox rtnnoridced the most rigciroiis
blockade at the entrances of the Ems, the
Weser, the Elbe and the Trave—thus cut.
ting us off. elaf: dash, from the principal
means of supplying our produce to the north
of Germany. On the 16th May following,
comes the celebrated ortler “ for the block
ade of the coast, rivers and ports, from
THE RIVER KI.BE TO THE PORT OF
Brest, INCLUSIVE,” and that *• the said
coast, rivers and ports are, and must be con
sidered as blockaded, but that his majesty
is pleased to declare, that such blockade
shall not extend to prevent neutral ships
and vessels. laden wi'h g awls not beingdhe
property of his majesty’s enemies, and not
being contraband of war, from approaching
the said coasts, and entering into and sailing
from the said rivers and ports, (save anil
except the coast, rivers and ports from Os
tend to the liver Seine, already in a state
of rigorous blockade, and which are to be
considered as so continued,) provided the
said ships anu vessels, so approaching and
entering (except as aforesaid) shall not have
been laden at any port belonging to or in 'lie
I possession of any of his majesty’s enemies,
and that the said ships and vessels, so sail
ing from the said rivers and ports (except
as aforesaid) shall not be destined to a port
belonging to or in the possession of any of
his majesty’s enemies, nor have previously
broken the blockade.” Here we have the
monstrous pretension started, which was ex
tended in the orders of January 1S07, that
we should not trade from an enemy’s to an
enemy’s port. Orfthe 25th September, same
year, the British cabinet once more shifts
its ground, and discontinues so much of
this extravagant blockade as extends “from
the river Elbe to the river Ems” leaving in
force that from the Ems to Brest. *
From this sketch, therefore, it seems, that
the illegal blockades on the part of G. Bri
tain, existing prior to the 2lst November
1806 (the datejof the Berlin decree.) and not
formally revoked by her, are 1. the strict
blockade from Ostonl to the Seine, 2. the
comparatively less strict but equally illegal
blockade from the Ems to Brest, excepting
from Ostend to the Seine, 3. the entrance
of the Trave, which flows into the Baltic at
Lubtvs.
Such are the illegal blockades, which G.
Britain has only to say, a»-e no longer in force.
A mere declaration to that amount will at
once lead to the revocation of the Berlin
Dacree. As a friend to us. (if she be re
ally a liiend, she will not hesitate to make
it. As the friend of justice, she will not he
sitate to do it-for she must be satisfiod,
that it was these very measures, which led
to the decree of Berlin-without them,
the emperor of the French would never have
dreamt of declaring the British Isles in a
state of Blockade.
The sincerity of G. Britain is, at least
now put to the test. What has she flroti-s
ncd, as the aim of her late nefarious orders
against us? That they were merely retali.
atory of the Decrees of her enemy_they
would die with those decrees. Such is the
very spirit <of the Preamble to the orders
of January and November 1807_such is
the very ground, which ha* been uniformly
^ ostensibly, taken by Messrs. Erskine and
Canning, in their communications. Well

ad.ng orders first, because you began first—
that is, because they are of ihe earliest date

CITI Z K N NF.VKll TP1 UKSPAIH Of THE
commonwkai.th,” was the saying of the
Romans, in the most trying tunes of the Re
public. Even after the battle of Cannx,
when the enemy was almost at the gatc3 of
the city, thanks were solemnly given to the
very consul, who had led them to defeat,
“ because he had not despaired of the State.” j
It should be so with us. Though Congress !
have so shamefully fiinched from the duties i
which yiey owed us; though after a solemn !
Resolution that they would not submit to !
belligerent edicts, they have risen without !
one energetic step to assert the rights of the !
country ; yet is there no serious cause for I
despair. 1 he imbecility of our councils is '
met t>y the strength of the nation. The i
people may arise in the majesty of their 1
strength to hurl their unworthv Represen
tatives irom Congress. We have resources
within us to defy any great shock of nation
al calamity. We have land—wc have ca
[pitnl-a spirit of enterprize for manufac
tures—equal la-.vs to protect us-and an
ocean, 5000 miles wide, to cut us off from j
the wars and the sUock?-Cf Europe.
Should France and Hriir.in do awav their !
obnoxious edicts against us, our commerce 1
will be free, busy and productive-if, on
the other hand, oitr commerce should he
burthened, manufactures will thrive-iu_
stead of exporting our raw materials, we
shall sfrnfk them up-in place of the man
ufactures ot Europe, we shall have fabrics
of e nr own.
C/ur commercial restrictions have giv
t*n an aid ami impulse to manufactures,
which will continue lor years. They have
taught us to rely on our own resources.
“ After we have begun to walk.” savs
the Proverb, “ we may run.” We have
broken the ice, which froze up the spirit of
manufacturing enterprise.—The annual pro
duce ot American uiatuifac'ures, •* says the
Report of the Secretary’ ot the Treasury,
“ exceeds 120 000.000 of dollars.”--Thus
under any event, we are certainly the most
independent nation on the face of the Globe
—\\ e may be hurt, but cannot be destroy_
ed.— The only' Calamity, which can seriously
beset our prosperity, is, when our councils
arc ruled by imbecility, and folly—and I
when there is a party in them more devoted
to the interests ot Britain than of their own
Country.—But it is for the fieofile to apply
the only proper corrective to this evil.
FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE.
On Sunday Evening, about dusk, the fire
bells of the City began a-ringing—Every one
naturally looked out lor the lire, but none
was to be seen. An alai m then prevailed,
that there was a riot among the Sailors at
Rocketts (the lower part of the City, where
the shipping lay at the Wharves.) The
Militia and Volunteer Corps were ordered
out by the superior officers —At rendezvous
ing at Rocketts, it was understood that about
Sun set, some Sailors were standing together,
as a Carriage was passing by. One of them
told the driver that lie wished to have a ride,
which the latter refused-Stones were
thrown at the Carriage ; a scuffle ensued;
and some mischief was done to the vehicle.
A police officer, who was present, was cal
ler* in to “ correct the procedure”———some
opposition was made—perhaps a risque at
tempted—one of the inhabitants of the city
was hurt—some of the sailors were exhila
rated with liquor—the es/iril cle cor/t.j began
to spread among them-they collected in
large groupes, and threw out some undefin
ed menaces against the civil authority. Un
der these circumstances, the police officers
called upon the superior officers of the mi
litary authority, who directed the companies
to be drawn out ——The sailors, however,
soon dispersed without any further'struggle.
Several of the Sailors were carried to the
Cage, and two committed to the Jail. Pat
roles were out all night, to nip the first bud
of opposition.
Yesterday, they were brought before the
corporation Court, (about 18 or 20. )-The
persons of some of them were identified_
the Court dismissed most of them. & direct
ed that the most active of them be boutul
over to keep the peace, for a twelvemonth.
We give this short and simple statement,
to correct any of those eKageralert rumors
which ihav spread into the country.—It
will, no doubt, be said at a distance, that
there has been an Insurrection among us,
that half of Richmond is in ashes, and most
of its inhabitants have their throats cut.
The returns from New York are nearly
completed. The majority for Tompkins is
set down :it about 8,000. Every Senator
elected is said to be republican. The ma.
jority of the republicans in the other house
about 30——that is 71 Republicans out of
112 members. The nclt Republican Gain
is 44.
