HAS the pleasure to Inform his P=*tronrs,

Power, a gentleman recommended hy Eu
ropean characters of high respectability
to the venerable Doctor John Carrol, Bish

display of abilities, have uniformly ueen
tucb as to justify the eulogies of his
friends.
v In a letter to L. H. Girardin the R. R.
- Dr. Carroll expresses Inmseif, inspecting
' Mr. Power, in the following terms.
" Mr Power is very respectably connect

ileuianly. Besides, possessing the talents
requisite for teaching the branches
mentioned in your letter, he has res.
pectablc testimonials of his ability to give
lessons in the Classics, Greek and Latin,
and in the Mathematics, In short, I do uot

That we have become “a Bye-xvord
among the nations” of Europe, as
this paper has continually asserted
we should become in consequence
of the imbecile proceedings of th 1
members of the late Congresses, will i
more manifestly appear from the
following Remarks, which we copy
from the London Times of the 12 h
of June, 1810. We do not get the
least credit for good intentions ; it is
not believed that fee have acted
from any honest principle whatever;
bur even our imbecile conduct-is at
tributed to an overwhelming passion
for gain. Let the people read, and
look well to the right! Argus.
In tbs late act of the American Go
vernment, resuming commercial rela
tions with the belligerent powers of!
Europe, we see with satisfaction the
falsification of all those gloomy pre
dictions which denounced ruin to ihe
mercantile concrms of this country,
from th*t dreadful engine of war which
America ihruat forward for our dev.
truction—the Non-Intercourse Act.—
Against us it has been pointless ; and
the band that held ihe weapon being
the only one that has been woqndcT
by it. lr.’.s natural v anil ^nnntMii.nmiiv
let it drop. There is something tu’gh
ty amusing in the contract obs£rvabk
between the bluster and parade with
which the Non-Intercourse Bill was
carried, and the quiet manner in which
it has been suspended, as injurious to
its authors. The Americans creep out
ot *be measure as still as mice. It is!
usual in the preamble of new Bills
wi h a u whereas” or two, to state the
motives which have led to ti eir en
actment ; such, for example, as the in
efficucv of prior ones: but there is not
a word ol this in the case btlore us,
the present Act being entitled “ An
Acr concerning (mark concerning) toe
commercial intercourse t etwoer. the
United States and Great Britain and
it is most strange, that though this is
stated to be the very subject of the act,
I yet aoes the act itself not utter oue
j single syllable—no, not a s\liable, con
cerning the commercial intercourse be
tween the two countries. It merely
(interdicts, with dreadful threatenings,
the entrance of our armed vessels in-;
to the American harbours, where they j
were never likely to come ; and leaves
the free passage to and fro of mer
chantmen (for which alone tiie bill was
framed) to be matter of inference 1
This i% we apprehend, a singular
piece of legislative ing<?nn u ness, that
the objects meant to be compassed by
it were never once mentioned in the
act, but are only to be got at by inuen
do. And the cause of this will not
toi. uuaci Viuiuu ; ior U is ODV10U8
that a i3»ll expressly sanctioning the
renewal of commerce with England,
when no alteration whatever has tuken
place in onr conduct towartfs Ameri
ca, must have as expressly condemi cd
the suspension of that commerce.—
The preamble to such a Bill would
have run in effect thus: “ Whereas
vith a view to the annoyance of Eng
land, an intemperate and ill advised
law, prohibiting ail commercial inter
course with that country, was some
■ i me ago passed, the operation of which
law, so far from touching those against
whom it was levelled, has been found
injurious only to the Citizens of the
United States; depriving them of the
necessary manufactures of Great Bri
tain, and compelling American vessels
to rot in port, while the carrying trade
of Europe has be en gradually remo
ving to other hands; and Wherea*
great and just discontents have hence
sprung up among the citizens of the
United States, evidently threatening
a dissolution of the Union, and a se
paration ot the North-eastern provin
ces from the rest. Be it therefore un
acted,,” Stc. Such we »ay, if not iti
words must yet have b^cn in tenour
and effect, the preamble to any bill
which should have provided in a di
rect and intelligible ma.uu r, lor the
renewal of commeroi 1 interco .rse be
tween America and Great Britain.
And this disgraceful difficulty is only
eluded by the enactment of an aimmu
ous law, which leaves us to deduce
that merchant-men may enter Aiueri
ran water , because oni^ ships of war
are interdict'd.
It has been said, that praise t* due
to our Ministers, on account of this
revocation by Americ a of her non-ih *
tercourse, The pains which we took
to give these gentlemen, the IV! misters,
their due share of credit for the bene
fits conferred on th«ir country by the
Waklieren expedition, will, we trusra
induce the belief time we would not
hastily deprive them of :»ny honor
which may be ju&tlv their d e; out it
is full clear iu the present instance,
that this opening of American harbours
is as exclusively the act of America
herself as was the shutting of them.
American advantages were the only
objects sought bv either of these rnea*
surea; we neither have done, no could
do, anything in thebusinc.s but «ta d
byy spectators of the manner iu
which she might be pkased to act.
She thought it would be beneficial to
htrself to abut her pons. She tried,
the experiment; and on finding it fail,
she has opened them .aga'n. Except,
therefore, Ministers are to be thanked
for all the trade and manufactures of
this country, we do not s*-e how the
merit appertains to diem that America
on trial finds that she cannot dispense
with Br'uish commerce ; and such is,
in truth, all that is meant by this
her resumption of commercial inter
course.
