INSURRECTION IN GAUDALOUPE
Sx. John’s. (Antigua) O t. ll-Ac
counts from Guadulnupe, we are sorry to
state, announce the discovery of a Conspiracy
tp regain the possession of that Island for
its former master, Bonaparte. The panic
ulars are not known here, and perhaps, for
obvious reasons, are but partially known even
at Guadaloupe to the mass of the inhabi
tants; from what has transpired it appears
clear, that a number of the principal mer
chants have countenanced this act of treason
to the British government, and for which
offence a very considerable number of them
have received orders to leave the Colony
within a fortnight. The discovery is said to
have been made inconsequence of the appre
hension of a young man in the employ of El_
bers and Crafts, ofSt. Bartholomews, under
circumstances that led to n suspicion of his
being engaged in an attempt to foment dis.
turbances, in whose possession a number of
papers containing plans, proclamations, ike.
together with a very considerable sum of
money, supposed to be intended to bribe the
soldiery, were found In what manner the
insurrection was to have been conducted we
h'^ve not learnt, but it was evidently the in
tention of those concerned to have restored
the Colony to the dominion of Bonaparte, if
it had succeeded —Accounts received some
time back from Mr. Jackson, announce the
arrival in America of a number of French
emissaries, whose ulimnte destination seems
to have been to sow the seeds of commotion,
wherever tin re was the least probability of
success. It is not improbable that the ar
maments which have for some time pas*'
been preparing at Toulon, the Scheldt and
the I exel, have some connection with these
treasonable efforts,

The following extraordinary succession of
caiatni'irs took filare last month on board
the United S area frigate Constitution,

days
While Capr. Huil was on shore at Sandy
Hook, where the frigate was lying at an
thr, six names on paper were handed to
the Commanding." Officer for permission to
go on shore—he marked four names as per
mitred, saying that all could no» go. p so
happened that he marked those ot Mo-gan
and Rogers two Midshipmen, between whom
a duel took place at that time as mentioned
in the papers, aud their two seconds_the
resulr of the duel it is known was the death
of Rogers, and Morgan wounded—the dead
body was the same evening carried on board
the frigate, and the ntx* day with the usual
ceremonies buried on shore ; while the pro.
cession of boa s for this purpose ware movl
ing towards the shore, a man fell from the
mast head of the frigate and was killed, in
a quarter of an hour afterwards another
fell from the same pi ice and was so hurt
that he died the next day ; while they were
lowering this wounded man into the cock
pit, another fell backward into the cock
pit and badly fractured bis leg_.the next
day the frigate sailed for the Delaware, and
the day after while she was going up the
bay at ihe rate of ten knots an hour a mid

^RICHMOND, NOVEMBER 16. 1810.
OUR RIGHTS AMD DUTIES.
The Proclamation has brought our Fo
reign Relations in to a much ^mailer scope—
The question is now, will G. Britain cease
to violate the “ commercial rights of neu
Hal nations ? \\ ill she revoke or modify
• all those “acts, decrees, orders and Proch_
.mations,” which trench upon the rigl ts of
j America ? I licse are 'he terms used in the
Resolution of Congress, Nov.11, 1808,which
calls upon the President tor information ou
i this very topic.
I To know what are the points which we
{have now a right to require (run G.Britain it
is necessary to take a Coufi d'milni the v’a
rious wrongs of which we have suffered,from
time to time since the rup'ane of the trea
ty of Amiens
Shall we speak of the impressment of
our seamen?-A nefarious practice which
has never slept-a practice which is a
standing theme of reproach to the nation who
perpetrates it and to ourselves who permit
it. 1 his wrong has been justified, nay
commanded by a royal Proclamation of 16th
Oct 1807, which we shall speak more of
hereafter.
' 'Ye shaH not expatiate on the blockades
of our own harbors by British ships—the
imults ot Bradley, oefore the port of New
York, in the summer of 1804; the outrages'
, o* " hitby and the murder of Pearce—nor
the combustion of the Impetueux within our
limits-nor the atrocious and yet unexpia-j
ted attack on the Chesapeake_because
these arc indelibly written on the hearts of!
our citizens, though they do not come within
tht purview of the law.
Neither shall we dwell on the particular
blockades, which were instituted in the ear
•V P^rt of the war, in which the meie noti"
fication of an intended blockade was held to
be equivalent to the notice dictated by the
law of nations—because these transgres
sions, however grievous in themselves, are
almost eclipsed by the enormous blockades

I.T...W* •• w OUUU JUUU ISO. VC HI UUlltCi
The mos. flagrant interpolation, tliat was
made in the early part of the war, was the
rule tliat a trade not open in times of peace
was to be shut in a time of war. This prin
ciple did not burst forth fully at first_but
a branch ot it was officially recognized by
the King, in his Instructions to bis Priva 1
teers. of 24ih June, 1803-these, under
the pretext of relaxing tile rule, as a favor
u«iu incorporated with tins
relaxation, a collateral principle, which is
itself an interpolation ;” which is, that a
vessel is liable to re capture on her return 1
voyage, if she had only on her outward one
■conveyed any contraband nr'icles to the ene.
m\’s port. In other words, the re export a" I
t'n-n front tilt enemy’s port was to be look-'
ed upon as a continuation of the original
voyage.—See Report of the Secr’y of State.
I5ti! the general ude burst upon us. in all
its fury, m August and Sep.ember, 1805 —
our ships in the Channel and North Sea ■
j were swept off without notice-the rule of
’56, was arrayed against us-nay, the re !
I exportation from ilie neutral country of c<>_
lonrd .ii tides, was prohibited under the pre
:text of it.i being a continuation of the ori.
, voyge. In vain did we fly to the law
j of nations as a shield—in vain did we cite
i the former admissions of the Britisn govern
ment itself-our ships wcie lavished from
us—& we were substantially interdicted from
all intercourse with the colonies of France
and Spain. These aggressions were not
publicly directed by the British Cabinet—
there was no formal Order or Proclamation
issued at the time. Yet ihey sneakingly mov.
ed the wires and played the puppets. The
insti actions of Tine, 1803 had tacitiv asser
ted live pretension, and when the storm burst
on us, the minis ry had secretly ordered Sir !
VV. Scott to act upon it. 'True to his voc«_ !
tion, the honorable judge was obedient to hia
orders; while the no less linnoi able L<nd i
Mulgruve justified bis sentence and •• ns.
serted tlie principle in its fullest extent.”
What then was it to us; whether the Ol
der was fiublic to the world, or /inTa'r to ‘
the judge ? The injury was the same_
for “ neutral commerce” bltdon (he shrine
of injustice.
Shall we paint the indignation which
burst from our Citizens on this occasiont_
The tables of Congress groaned under the
remonstrances and memorials of our mcr
chants——and a resolution was passed in
the Senate, to request the Piesidtnt •• to de
mand the restoration of the property, cap
tured and condemned-and 'n enter into
such arrangements with the Bi itish Govern
ment, on this and other differences subsist,
mg between the two nations, (and /tarttcu
(arfy, respecting the impressment of Ame
rican seamen,) as may be consistent with
• he interest and honor of the U. States.”
Mr. Pickering himself Voted for this reso
lotion
We come msw to the fxnjirr blockade*,
instituted in the North * f Europe, which
ultimately led tothe French Decrees—The
first of these was notified In I.cid Harrow
by, on the 9 h Aug. 18(jl i.s extending fr<-u
.the port of F«i*un» tpiUaf ofOv.vUd.——On
the 8th April. l&Ofi, Mr. Pox notified the
blockade at the entrances of the Kins, the
Weaer, the Elbe and the Trave—this was
t() be professedly maintained “ in the strict
•:si manner ” and as a retaliation on the
King of Prussia for occupying Hanover, and
xrluding liritish ships from certain ports
in the North of Europe. At far as this was
an efficient blockade, there was less cause
ot complaint on our side-but the next
one that was notified to our minister, entire
ly oversteps this condition, and binds up the
Ports metelv by pen and ink.
We allude to the famous blockade of May
16, 1806, ot Mr. Fox ; — embracing the
whole coast, from the Elbe to Brest—that
part of the coast from Ostend to the Seine
to be unconditionally interdicted to everv
sort of trade; the rest of it placed under
such restrictions, that no vessel could trade
from or to any other port of his majesy’s ene
mies, to or from these ports. This was
built on the «a;/ie ground of usurpat ion, with
he subsequent Orders of Jan. 1807.
1 lien Comes the French Berlin Decree of
r*'> • ember 7, 1806, the fu st artifcle uf which
declares the British i*les in a state of block,
jade: the others relate to certain municipal
roles only ; such as forbidding ships to enter
French fiorts which were bound from
(». B 6cc Soon after its promulgation we
had official assurances, that the 1st clause
woo d ot affect the U. S.-ar il in fact,
the first case in which it was put into execu*
tion. Was that of the Hnrrizon in 'he Sep.
following. This was, in truth, the first in
stance in which France violated our •• neu
tral commerce” under her Decree.
In the mean time, were issued the Bri..
t ish ordeis of January 7, 1807, which niter,
diet the trade from one port of France or
ames to anoitier, or from any port so far
undrr tiie influence of France or her allies
as that British vessels could nut trade there
at. to another such port: What an atrocious
infringement on neutral Rights ! By her
Convention.with Russia, m 1801. G B. herself
had recngnisedthe rights ot neutral powers
to •* navigate freely to the ports and upon the
coasts ut the nations tit war ”
It is clear, that “even in the case of a
neutral trade between the ports of Fiance her
self ” it is a palpable in-etpolation, “since it
is not a principle of the ackn wledged law
of nations, that neutrals may no* trade fi on.
one to another port of the same belligeren
na»inn. And it would be an innovation o
tliat law, not before attempted, to extend
the principle to a neutral trade between
ports of different countries confessedly ope
in times of peace as well as of war.” It
the blockade had been a real one, e’ex
outre chose-“ no fair objections can lie
against it”-hut toblockad a wholecoast,
by a single dash of the pen, is such a vin.!
lation of our neutral commerce as we can
never submit to.
On the 16ih Oct. 1807 we have the famous
Proclamation of the King •• for recalling and
prohibiting British seamen from serving to
re-gn princes and states which com
mauds the Captains of his navy to search for
and seize, on board of foreign merchant ves
sels, his natural born subjects—a flagitious
Act, which tramples upon the Laws o
Nations, and makes the high seas the king’s
own property °
The next Orders in point of time, aiv
those of the llih and 25rh November 1807
issued before the case of the Horizon wa•
known in England. The contents of these
are sufficiently known—they put every pm,
in Europe, from which the’ British fl j3
excluded, under the ban of blockade—with
'be odious except ion. that touching at G
B. and paying tribute, may .egalise the
cat go.
Then follows the Decree of Milan. Dec
17. 1807. which more especia'Iy denati mat
izet and condemns every vessel paying this
tribute——.mil rtprbipii tlm llpi.l.ll : I
' — •**■' »-» t.iun in
a state of blockade.
Next is the order of 28-h April, 1809 pro.
fessedly modifying those of the 11 h Nov!
— By this order, ihe Kingdom of Holland
as tar North as the river Ems and all ports
and places of France, together with the co
lonies, &c. in the possession of those go
vernments, and all ports and places in he
northern part of Italy, to the ports of Orbi..
tello and Pesaro, are subjected to the same
restrictions, in point of trade, as it they
were blockaded in the most rigorous man.
ner ; and every vessel trading from be to the
said countries or colonies, with all the goods
on board, is subject to capture and condem
nation.
Since that time, G. B. has clung to her
system. She has blockaded various ports in
Europe-nay, since the verv la:,i Note of
M. Champagny, she has interdicted 'he
Canal of Corfu, which leads into the \d
riatic, and the Port of Elsinore in Zea
land
1 liese brief reviews of our sufferings are
ot use. I hey furnish an historical acev unt
of the progress of the public mind How
Could we help being wrought up into resent
incut against G B. when we had such
iransaruons neiore us r
Wc have waded through this mass of in.
iquities, in 01 tier tosliow tin? wrongs wt have
suflcMed, and the rights wli'Ch we may now
assert. It is clear that we are n it only
bound to insist upon the revocation of the Or -
ders of Jan. and Nov. 1807, and of April 1809,
which succeeded the Berlin Decree ; b">*
of those which preceded and led to it. It
is clear, that these •• vitilate me commercial
rights of neutral nations.” As to the epics
tion whether they arc yet in force, it is easily
settled. 1
I'd. Wellesley, in his letter to Mr. Pink
n*y °f March 26 h, 1810. «ms *• that the
block ulc notified bv G B. in May, 1806, has
never been formally withdrawn ; and it can
not therefore be accurately stated, that the
restrictions, which it established, rest alto
gether on me Order of Council of the 7ih of
January, 1807 ; they are comprehended tin
tier the more extensive restrictions of that
order” Of course let the order of January be
revoked, that of May will exist in all its
force.
Such then is onr condition— by the bond in
to which we have entered, the orders of
May 1806, should be expunged, as well as
those ot Jan. and Nov 1807. and April 1809
-Besides, every other which is a paper
blockade ; every Public Act, which trench
esupon the commercial rights of neutrals.
We, therefone, call upon G, Britain to do
us justice. Most fervently do we wish that
she w.U hearken to the call-but most ti nm
ly do wc fear her decision ! Does the Ic ier
of Lord Wellesley cast one rav across the
gl oai ? No—Jot not t<i speak of the vo.C'ue
conditions on which his promise is built;
what i< his'promise? That •• bis majesty

again. We look to their ministerial prints,
what do we see f The same thing re echo
ed* more plainly. We hare now before us
a tile of the London Courier.—The paper
ol August 20, declares, “ that the ministry
have exercised no principles of blockide
which they will be at ull inclined to aban
don that they have the same right to
blockade ports without posting of ships, as
Bonaparte has to exclude them without
troops; Sc then it winds up witu these words;
'* *1" he revoke his decrees, our orders con.
sequent upon those decrees, will be iev< k
edalso; and our government nifty notify,
that from the 1st in Nov our Orders in
Council, adopted in consequence of those
decrees, will cease.” This langung- too,
is not lightly used—for the same pi,per, of
the 24th. employs the same expressions.
In case then Gr B should take this ground,
retaining her Orders of May, and other acts
which violate our ncutial commerce, we
shall 'hen be bound to renew our No i In_
jercouise Law against her on the 2d Feb.
T ills is <>ur bond to France. The next con
gress should therefore put every means into
execution to enforce it The retrenchment

which has lately taken place, may coa. pii e

Ac tiie encouragement which they give to lireii*
friends on the other side of the water, to
hold out in their iniquity, may mar its
cff.cis and comped us to fly to mote ener..
gtiic expedients
•If Mr. Pinkney should display that resolu
tion which his situation requires ; if he should
exact an immediate and categorical answer
from the British ministry, ii may be within
the power even of the Eleventh Congrcex
t.» act ; and to act with promptitude, biiould
that answer threaten tiie extinction of our
valuable commerce with Europe ; should
tiie ministry continue to throw whole coasts
under blockade, and say. “ thus far and no
farther! thou shah not goto F ance and to
the North." there ctm be no question before
us—there is then no alternative between sla„

and the British; whether we may safeiy
