k he rno- e we think of it, the stronger is
our conviction, thru the situation of Flori
da (as it has been r.amedl) calls fur the iW
mediate interposition of our government.
*' Hut can the President act,” say some?
--“Where is his power? Must he not
wait ’till Congress meets?”
•.The answer is, no—He has ample pow
e-s. to meet the crisis which has occurred.
—What say the laws ot his country ?
The net of October 31 1803 “ authori
ses the President of the U. S. to take fios..
session of, and occupy the territory ceded bv
France to the U. States by the treaty” of
Paris Odt claim extends to the Perdido.
— But does Congress reergnire this claim,
or any part of it ? Is this territory, or any
part of it, to the east of the Mississippi, cx~
firessiy designated as a part of the cession ?
Certainly.
I he act of Feb. 24, 1804, •* for laying and
Collecting duties on imports and tonnage
within the territories ceded to the U. S by
the treaty” of Paris, authorises (in the 11th
Sect.) “ the 1». U.S. whenever Ac shall deem
it ex/iediert, to erect the shores, waters
and inlets of the bay and river Mobille. and
of the other rivers, creeks, inlets and bavs
emptying into the Gulph of Mexico, east of
the said river Mobille, and west thereof to
*he Pascaguola inclusive, into a separate
district, 8c to establish such place within the
same, as he shall deem expedient to be the
port of entry and delivery of such district ;
and to designate such other places, within
the same district, not exceeding two, to be
ports of delivery only”-~a collector to
[JC appointed at the port of entry, and a
surveyor tit each port of delivery &c._
The act of March 26th. 1804, “for erecting
Louisiana into two territories See.” states,
tha* “ all that portion of the country ceded
bv France to the U-. 3 , under the name of
Louisiana, whieh lies south of the Missis
si/t/ii territory and of an east and west line
to commence on the Mississippi river at the
S3d degree of N Latitude,.and to extend W.
to the Western boundary of the said cession,
shall constitute the territory of Orleans.”
Here is scope enough to go on—.here is am
pie power conveyed.
The only point is, is it now e.r/iedient for
the P. to act ? It is true, that when the Spa
nish authority was efficient in that countn,
we waved the immediate assertion of onr
rights-" we reserved our claims in that
quarter as a subject of discussion and ar
rabjement with Spain”*——but thefca-e is
now altered-There is a part of West.
Florida. in which the Spanish authority has
Ween subverted -The forces opposed to
the Contention hare dispersed Sc with a few
exceptions joined them.——Spain, the other
c.a;rr.r.nt, is ousteu—ami wc u*mj now u
right to take possession. A self Organised
bixly, mistaking their resources, and unable
to maintain a fleeting shadow of indepen _
dence, & egged on perhaps by the intrigues of
a foreign power; have usurped a sort of so
vereignty within the limits of the U. States.
Must we hold off*, until we see our rights ra
vished from us, perhaps, by some foreign
power?—I'he Spanish Regency, we a*re
told, have already promised an indemnity
to G. Hritain, on the Yucatan, in Cuba and
in Florida.
Let ns act a* once-The Philadelphia
likening Star has surmised, that Governor
Claiborne has gone on, with full powers on
the subject. It may be so, and we trust that
it is so 'I'he troops of the U S. are march
ing thither from various points-Colonel
Covington with two Companies—According
to the C harleston prints, Genera! Hampton,
now in Charleston, has issued orders for a
detachment of the Troops in garrison in
that harbor to proceed immedia elyforlhe
South-Western frontiers of the State of
Georgia Ihese evolutions must mean

thoriscd to issue a proclamation, if necessary, de

How stands the case at present ? The President

ha letter of the 2d Instant, rrnj. Gibbon, for in

provisions—all uniformity would be lost_all r*
nergy would be extinguished-and rogues would
Gnd holes enough to escape from tile penalties of
the law.
It is certainly a mtut omissus—'hut let the o
mission be remedied—let congress either spe
cift the points which we have a r;ght to demand
fri»m G B.—or what is better, direct the Presi
dent to be the judge of those prints, by autho
rising him to issue a proclamation, declaratoi-v
of the revival ot tite Non-tntereuiirse law He
is already made the judge in the 1st in«tanr.o •
Why Sot in the 2d ? fly this arrangement, all the
^conveniences of the present state of thimrs will
he removed—f >r the proclamation wonI I thep
become the Fa'.v of the land-mandamuses would
be totally out ofthe question'-— for Mieeour>a
would have no cognisance ofthe case—thoV
would say, *• The law Ins spoken and wr must
bow in silence.
In the next place, steps should be taken to en
force the Non-tntercourse Law to the utmost .if
our power—to put all our naval force in requisi
tion—to empky snadilitiooal numherof Revenue
Cutters, Pic — and, perhaps, to lay an Embargo
as to Great Brit «in
It is no difficult thing to predict, that these will
be the only steps, as to G-eat Britain, which the
eleventh Congress wit.l tike. The mere circum
stance, of our having allowed G B. t lithe 2d of
February to come into our terms, will defeat e
very other energetic proposition, li will he ask
ed, " how are we to know whether any other
steps will be requisite, until we know whether
she has enme into the terms we have laid down ?”
But il these measures are pursued, with spirit,
they may he sufficient. The pre.isurt- upon G
B. is much gt-eater now, than it was when the
Non Intercourse law was formerly in fwn- The
smuggling in Holland isnrsastept. I'he B-Itic

commercial pressures in Europe, to bring her to
her senses The deteat or retreat of her armies
in Portugal may add its mite of compulsion to the
reluctant minds of h r ministry.
The only thing which will lead her to aeonti.
nuation of her attacks upon neutral commerce, is
a hope that tve are not in earnest—that her p u-tj
in this country is sufficiently strong to nullify
the non-intercctirse law—It is this opposition,
which may induce her to hold out, in the very
teeth of her pressures But if this opposition be
thus successful ; if they cherish in G. B. the hope
°f °ur disgrace ; upon their heads be all the sin
of British perseverance in injustice ; upon their
heads be all the consequences of the Non-Inter
course Law being defeated, and of less pacific
meusures being adopted to defend the rights of
