remedies resorted to, instead of the simple
remedy of invigorating the nation by treating
the disease where it affects the body.
Is it not notorious to every man in the
country', that the British government has ex
t rcised, atm does exercise an influence in
this country ; c m we not put our hands up
on die men, can we not go to the records of
Congress and the laws, and shew that it has
been Carried into our very Senate ?
Need we resort to the exposition given by
tlie late president Adams in bis valuable
materials tor history published in the boston
■ Patriot; need we go farther than the whole
^«c nducc of the faction winch for a moment
gained at: execrable triumph over law and
older in the legislature of iMsssachusetts ;
need we ask m ,re than to see how the vile
emissary Jackson has been treated by the
same faction at Boston ; ne^d we look far,
ther than their proclaimed sentiments daily,
to shew the existence of this fioison in the
body politic i
Where shall we find an example of French
influence-*— where is the Senator corrupted
to treason, where is the public cha acter
who palliates, or where the press that ju$_
titles or excuses even the comparatively lit,
tie wrongs committed by France ? We have
ho senator who ixclaims that Fi ance is the
world’s last hope, even when France has
prostrated four successive coalitions; where
is the man, or the party, or the newspaper,
that calls upon the nation to rally under the
cannon of Fiance which has subjugated all
Europe—we.have no such man — we nave no
- tsuuli pres-.—and yet see what the operation
of British influence is ; our presses and even
our government, are so muc.i operated up
*m by britisn influence, that not merely our
presses but our government takes ihe atti,
tude of extreme forbearance or “ dtgnijied
moderation,** while Britain kicks us on tne
posteriors and spits up m our beard ; and
all this moderation is intended to prove
forsooth, that \vc are not under French in
fluence.
Why, conduct like this in an individual,
much less in national concerns, would be the
last extremity of littleness—— it is exactly
such conduct as would invite a coward to he
come a bully, and to kick him who with
a manly and open countenance may pur,
sue his course, indifferent alike to the ca„
luiiinies and scunitiiies of wretches of all
kinds
ii. is inis • uignineu moderation ^wmcn
translated into plain IvigUdi, means a cm.
temfitible and self destroying cunviing.)
Ythicli dictates the construction put upon the
new British orders in council.
“ We put a different construction on it.”
Why theie is not a pettyfogger in a county
court that could not give a dozen or nore
different constructions of any sentence in the
order. \ celebrated minister of state said
he required only three words to convict any
man ot treason, and tie could make out his
case by inueudoes on these three words.
The N itionat Intelligence! discovers that
“ however great the outrage upon neutral
“ rights g&ne rally, it does not now apply to
“ the U. S.” *
And it it be an outrage generally upon
neutral rights, we should be glad to leain
wheie there are any nrucraia to whom it
may apply generally. If on the other hand
there are no neutrals but the U , and
this is the fict, shall we be told that gene
rally docs not mean particularly ; and that
as there is only one particular neutral,
that it must be meant as a mere figure of
speech not to have anv general meaning.
The only nations winch at any time en
o^ared in the wh ile and codfisheries, were
the British, the French, me iJu'cn, Uaies,
Russians and the U States, If the order
of council he like all their former orders,
meant to afflict all whom they approach, it
■will be very important to discover that this
order which relates to the fisheries, does
not apply to us now.
How are we to test it but by the evidence
of facts f the order cannot mean any belli
gerent nation ; then it must apply to some
nation that is not a belligerent, and in the
civilized world wu find only the U S.
Let the whale fishers on the southern o
cean look to it; it will avail them nothing
to say that it does not apply to us now ;
they will find it, and in the China sea-. i»
will lie found when toe late, what a ttwoo/i
our dignified moderation offers to our op_
pressor.
• Dbcs the National Intelligencer not know
that the British claim for their navy, that
kind of obsequious deference which super
cilious lords expect from humble vassals ;
is that paper to learn, that an exclusion ot
its navy is considered more important than
an exclusion of its merchantmen f The Bri
tisli well know that their merchant ships
can make their way in the maimer which
their system of commercial swindling *u_
thorizes, and their government coimtenan
c ■» ; but tiiat the interdiction of their navy
is held to lie an interdiction of ihe freedom
of commerce, Because they say. that their
e 1’nmerce must have c.mvoys, and if their
convoys are interdicted Irom supplies, their
commerce cannot be carried on.
The prospective speculation of a certain
issue, appears to us equally futile ; it is in
vain to expect trom F. a ice any change of
system. Toe Kambouillei decree is'too plain
to be mistaken.

the good will of these people to make the at

p»>» a compliment to the editor of tlie National

observes in his interpretation of the new British
order of MHy last. Whether the order be in

judged ol from the " digmti ut moderation’

In this instance a British ord^r appears rather to
have had n n tro-uctive titan a prtHpectPtt *>pera
lion ; how the decision was made in lite upper
toutts to which it waa referred, we have never
learnt.
It would seem that the Mew York Evening
Post calls upon Democrats to admit that we arc
under French influence, to justify our apprehen
sion* respecting the operation of the new order,
inasmuch as lie says that the British order " de
claies tnat vessels sailing from ports under the
control ol hr nice or her allies, shall he subject
to capture itc " II th's candid editor will advert
to the order, he will find tiial it subjects to cv>
lure anu condemnation all neutral vessels engug
e»l in the whale or other fislienes, sailing from,
or •'•turning to ports “ so r An under the con
lO’Ul of France as that the British Hug muy not

t-'»e lire ish Hug is toislly excluded for the present
Ir *m Canton, the only port we know of in the
Lhuu.se t mpire, to which Europeans aie admit
ted to^trade Hence the phraseology of this or
dei; not only nutho. ises the apprehended capture
of neutrals bound to Canton, but ascribes the
occlusion of the port to the British fl «e. to the
ojjm lit ion or french ir.miencc What cfleet the
order may have upon the American fishing ves
seU going from, or returnlpg to, our own Imr
boors, depends sol ly on thr conslrnction given
bv themselves to the act of C >ngie,s forbid Jiog
otir harbors and waters to B> itish and French ar
mod vessels If this law be once acted upon, so
far as to subject a British Liter of m .rq.ie to s-i
zure for its MoUtion, theq will the Ui-i'ish say
that their tl tg cannot freely trad" in our ports
and consequently die order of May 2d can have
an active operation, but until that event, as it ai>
pi es to our own ports ami liai bOrs, the new or
der may possibly he considered as in prospective.
1 he British generally as iribe the causes ofthe
conduct of other govi rnmcnis whi'-h have given
rise to their pretended retaliatory outers, o h ugs
totally foreign froip the truth Whether intend
ed for prospective or active operation it matters
not, tim order is another blow of the English ca
omet, aimed at the vitals of our indenendence ;
and we are pained to see die “ dignified mode
ration” ot Kepu ilican editors strained so far as
to offer a prospective” apology fir so fl igra.ot
a violation ot our national rights and privileges
as that ol der appears to he If the order be “ a
prospective,” it is a more insolent violation of
our national rights, than if it was to have upon us
an immediate and active operation, becan»e it is
a rod held over our government, not only mens
cing them with certain consequ'*nc.es, ifthej dan
to resent British atrocities so far as to cut up
their trade with us in their own vessel-,
