This bill appears to have but few friends ;
some find sunlt with it because it is too
ss strong, and others because it is too weak ;
, but for my own part, I can discover : grem
' deal ofmeaning in it, and is the chtiirtnan
ofthe committee wanted to revive and en
l sorce his old embargo system, he can do it
in no way so eﬀectual as by the present bill.
Before it was for the interest os G. Britsin

' measure ? A retsliatingdecree, excluding
ssonrvessels from her ports. She will not
suﬀer us to be her cart-lers, nor our vessels
to enter her parts, if her vessels canaot en
ter onrs. Of course we shall have an em
bargo that cannot be evaded, except to
some neutral parts, to sell our produce ve
ry low in the same manner we do now—we
shall have no where to go, and the British
navy to help us enforce it ; and if we
cannot bring property from a nentral port,
other than the gromh or mannfaetnre of
such port, this will make a complete and
eﬀectual non-intercourse. depriving us of
both direct and _indirect tradess; ye shall
be, therefore eompletely shut in, and all

Mr. Hammond, in his reply, says, he is ss
only instmcted, not empawered to conclude ss

and adds, that no he is a minister plempa- 1

ctwill be well for gentlemen who in desirous
ofsuehastste of things, to vote for this
bill. [would retain such partsof the bill
? as would shut siour parts to the ships of war
* of England and France, and repesl the
friendltas, miserable non-intercourse law,
and leave the merchants once more to ma
nage their own aﬀairs in their own way,
ss and look out for themselves.
si The gentleman fromssPcnnsyl'lﬂsi- (Msi

cial city that has a great interest in com
merce, but that he w0uld not give up ourss
national honor (or sordid gain, has found
much fault with this bill, but has poihte'd
siout no substitute, he has told you that wo

) we cannot go on the water, and as for adopc.
ing his Man of giving up commerce and
withdrawing from the water entirely and
becoming a ma nusscturing nation, ! hope
never will be the case, for as long as a
young man can work with a reputable far
, mer two or three years and lives as well as
, he does while he is about it, and then take
( his money and go back into the country and
! buy him a tract of land and become himself
I ﬂlr. Pattcr.—lt has been observed by the
l
gentleman last up from Mary-land (Mr.
Montgomcry) the non-intercourse is very
injurious to this country and that it gives
the English an exclusive privilege to carry
our produce to market, and that they under
stood nommercial regulations, and that there
was no danger of Great Britnin retaliating
in this respect, that it would be an outrage.
l agree that they understand commercia]
' regulations and they can Very easily evade
, the operation thntsi is intended by this act
without retaliating fully; for if they shall
have the port es Halifa: open for our ves
sels to carry our produce, and no other,
iwhat will be the consequence? All their"
! ports will be open to our vessels to take a
way their produce and maaufsctures and
! only one for us to carry our produce to—
Il' we want their muusaetures ws must
send a ship with cash to purchase: or if we
want to pay in produce we must then return
: and send another ship to Halilax with the
:produee of this country to dispose of to
.English agents at a very low price to be
\ taken to Great Britain in their own vessels ;
5 so that she will be the esrrier of our pro
jdssuee in the same manner that -she now is
under the operation of the present non-in

Air. Smilie was in favor of the bill; he
