government wants war, if it ran he avm-l
tied with all nations ifpotsiHlr; but the A
merienn nation, curtailed of its rights as
an independent people, it must not be dis
honored, and reparation must be obtained
for' th'o Chesapeake outrage. The idea
thrown out in the English prints that Mr.
Rose means to offer certain privileges to
the United States in the West Indies, i!
know not how to believe It is contrary to
ull the British doctrines at all times ; it is
in the teeth of her principles that relate to
colonial trade, and its tendency would be
to lead us into war with other nations since
she has repeatedly declared that any ad
vantages granted to a neutral power by a
belligerent, nltcring the dispositions in time
of peace, is cause of war to the other bel
ligerent.
“ An embargo has many inconveniences, :
jt will n.aquestionahlv injure us considera
bly, hut it is calculated to save our ships
and above all, our seamen, from British
capture and impressment, and as it will
sh**w, at once the fallacy of those political
dogmatists who have preached (hat the
Wtfst Indies can do without the United
' States, we expect it will touch England on
one of hyr most sensible points, and by de
nying to the nrinnf icMn ers of Great Bri
tain, the raw materinlsofth'scountry,they
also will perceive the blind policy of their
government towards the United States.
“We expect England wi.l pass new re
taliating decrees against neutral trade, in
consequence of France living about io en
force her own ; if she does and sne threa
tened it to us in December of last year.)
our commerce will sullVr, and our sh.p
owners had best look to it in due time.

I I appears, from unquestionable infbr
m itimi received from Norfolk, that the
delay which has attended the landing of
this gentleman, lias proceeded from an <>
verstrained delicacy of etiquette on hi.si
part, and not from any disposition of the |
Deputy Collector at that place, to refuse]
permission to himself to land, or to the
\cssel in which he came to receive the
custom: i y accommodations. The Presi
dent’s Proclamation certainly contains a
sufficient proviso for the case, not in the
smallest degree preventing the entrance
into port, and hospitable reception of ary j
armed vessel having on hoard a public mi
nister, or even d spatches from tlie govern
ment of Great Hrituin to that of the Unit
ed Stati s it only requires (what, of
course, from tlie very nature of things,
must he indispensihle) that the captain of
any such vessel shall give notice oi his ar
ro ai to the collector of the port, and in
lorai him of the circumstances, bv virtue
o! which she is to he exempted tioni the
prohibitions extending toother armed ves
sels As it is impossible for the collector,
without such notice and information, to
distinguish u vessel having an j-'.nvoy ex
traordinary on board from any other, it
seems truly astonishing that unwillingness
tr-. comply with shell a reasonable requisi
tion sli: uld have occasioned tlie de:iy of
tin- mimmer’s landing. Yet shell, it seems,
is the 1 ct.
We .ire assured that, shortly afer tin

no doubt of the rt rept on of Mr Hon with
the same respect with wh cb other arahas
