lent Mi'. 'l't'acy, of that state.
He is very much inclined, also. to spoila.
good speech by conccssiorw. He selects one
particular ground, and often, not the
strongest, and" in order to g-ip a more pa
tiencheniing upon that, he concedes almost
eVetsiy other part of the argument. l am

The above remarks were produced by
Mr. Dntsim's conduct, in relation to Bur
Wcll's war resolution—his convoy and arm
ing motion. 'Itlr. Uctmzt hailed it "s a good si:
omen, and prcposed anew resolution, pre
scribing the licences for arming, and the
conditions of the bonds. The condition,
proposed by M r. Dnnn, has this clause,
" that the ship shall. nor violate ths- 'rules of
public low, acknowledged by the_U. S."
Now, l beg leave to ask, if onr ships
are to arm under such ltmse conditions,
whether a war-.will not be the incrnahle
consequence? Isa ship is sound going di
rectlysroos.Guadaloupe to Frnn-c, she is

condemned, is taken by the Bzitish. " our
ships attempt to force a trtule against the
British orders in council, : war wll be the
inevitahle consequence, and it would be
more m.:nly to declare war at once. There
is not an equal danger of irritation from cap
tures by France. She can do no out, which
could rouse our citizvns against hrr. We
