considerable cession oHandsfrom the Indian
a, inhabiting the Wabash-This cession
is made the cause or pretext of an hostile
spirit which is propagated by the celebrated
prophet, and which may not improbabh , e
ventuate in another Indian war. The pro
phet has eng.tg. d a number of tribes in the
confederacy, which protests against the
cession a3 void, anti maintains that all the
Indians of the continent compose but one
nation, that the great spirit gat e the lands
to all, ami that, consequently, they can be
alienated only by common consent. This
new position in the laws o! nations, is a. va
riance with all the titles, heretofore aetjui
red from the Indians, t« establish which, the
concurrence of the actual occupants has
been considered sufficient. The other prin
ciple, would in tact, render an Indian put
chase impracticable, because the consent, of
the numerous tribes, distant, dispel ed and
unknown, as many of them are, could never
be obtained. The rule, which has formed
the barns of public contracts, is not only just
but humane.—The settlements of the whites
have extended more and more upon the In
dian lands. ever since Mie discovery of the
Continent, and that they should continue to
advance is the law of nature of this hrmis
phere. Hence, if tides cannot be- procured
by contract and purchase, possession will
nevertheless be.oblained by force, to the des
truction of the Indians, instead of promoting
their comfort and happiness by the gradu
al introduction of the arts of civil life._Balt

RICHMOND. OCTOBER 33. JSly
MO RE PRO M IS ES !
The following Extra absorbs almost »|| our
attention—we sha'l touch it briefly at present.
Mr. P-nkney informs the Marquis Well slcy
that the French minister had given an official no
lice in these words : “ I am authorised to declare
to von, Sir, that the Decrees of Berlin St Milan
are revoked, and that Mom the date of the Is* of
Nov. they will -.ease to have their effect ” Upon
this Mr. Pinkney'founds an enquirj, whether
the British Old rs will notecase. of course.
The Marqu sreplies, (without date) that his
^ JV^V ,s ilN willing as ever, to abandon the sys
tem forced Upon him, whenever the enemy should
rejnet his principles •• and that the British will
rehnqu sli their system, “ whenever the repeal
of the French Deer cs shall have actually token
effect, a no the Commerce of neutral nations shall
have been restored to the condition in which it
stood previously to the promulgation of those de
crees, ”
The first clause is a plain one, because it is
specific—the last is general'— A opens a wnle field
of disputation, and turni .ht s cover et>ot«'h for
the breach of her engagement.
What is neutral commerce ?_Ay— There's
the rub / The British may affect to have one idea
of it—and we have another—They may sav,tha»
Bonaparte ha,s no right to shut them out «>f
the Continent;-that if we submit to it,
they will shut us out—that if he blocks up
the North, &c. against them, by his troops,
they will block him up,- and consequent- 1
»y. ps out, by their ships of war_—Their
ministerial prints have recently assumed this ve.
ry gi omul—their mmistci s and their writers took
| it in I80fi previously to- the promulgation of the
Btriin Decree
[ Whatkdtotli.it Decree ?—The British Or
ders of May, 1806, blockading from Elbe to
I Brest—And wiiat says Mr F 'X, as the ground
of them I 1 hat his majesty hail “ taken into con
sideration the new and extraordinary means resor
ted to by the Enemy, for the purpose of ditties*
ting (he commerce of his subjects”—Wiiat says
tiie Author of War in Disguise, on the 2d of the
same month ?—The .same thing *-And what
s-.ys Mr. Srsk ne to the Bee ' of Stale, on 25th
' June, 1857 ?—That they." have judged itexpe
! dient to re establish the most rigorous blockade
at the entrances of the Rivers Erns, Weser and
Elbe inclusive, in consequence nt the present posi
tion of t ie enemy upon the continent, whichen
ables tmi to command the Navigation of those
rivers’.”
II the British are to post their ships a^ the
ports themselves ; »f they make a real not .. pa
per blockade ; if they do, as the British Com
missioners in the Note of Dec 31, 1806, say,
they have always done, “ never declare any
ports to he in a state of blockade, without nl
lo>ting io that object a force sufficient to make
t'r e entrance into them sufficienly dangerous’’_
Why it is fair enough—it is thetr right, and we 1
must submit.,
But they have never done so—their state, pa
pers cent! adict it—their writers and their own
Acts assert the pretension of a placard block
ade.
In a word, the pledge of Wellesley is hollow,
if they assume the •» a me ground, at 'this lime,
which they did in 1806 - if 1st They claim a right
of blockading us nut of the Continent, bec.au «e
Bonaparte blocks tuck out And 3d they ex
ercise this pretension by paper, and not by
ships
Let us not then dream too much of their
justice—Mr. P may demand of the .VI. W. what!
he means by m utral commerce—be ought to do i
ii, instanter-Time will dissipute all doubts. {
In the mean while, wiiat wonderful anomalies
do we see, in commerce ! What extraordinary
revolutions!
In’93 Britain pretend; to starve France——in

fain 'Shed moult.sot t '■ .e Brii.sh.

In 1803, Britain pro/itsrr to stint her enemy,
