From the Farmer's Register.
Grave and serious reflections presented, in the present crisis of the world, to the good people of America, and their rulers. January 1808.
The wonderful events which have crowded on the records of history since the American and French revolutions, have opened a new era in the annals of mankind, will, unquestionably, be viewed by religious and thinking men, as the result of the mysterious and awful decrees of the divine author of whatever has been, is—or will be.
By him a new, virtuous and innocent people of plain, industrious farmers have been enabled to know what was good—to understand their rights—to shake off the yoke of tyranny—to establish their independence—and to exhibit to the astonished and degraded nations of the earth the humbling and consolatory example of a free and rational government, grounded on the natural bonds of brotherhood and equality,
so long ago recommended and exemplified by our saviour when he condescended to become "the son of man"—to take his birth under the humblest roof—and to associate and fraternize, in his embassy, with none but poor and common people.
By him those sacred principles, fostered in the happy cottages of America, have been communicated to enslaved Europe, and propagated with the velocity of lightning among the only people capable of embracing them with spirit, and enforcing them with strength—faithful to the divine doctrine which guided their first steps in the career of Liberty,
the French nation relinquished all ideas of nobility, of unnatural superiority, of grandeur, of aggrandizement, and of supremacy over the other societies of men.
They viewed them all as friends and brothers, and offered a durable peace to those who would freely commune with them.
All they claimed was the undisturbed privilege of the experiment of a new form of government from which they expected happiness for themselves and the world, in the abolition of royalty.
And let this fact, hitherto unknown, be held in remembrance by the remotest posterity—that some of their best and most influential men and popular leaders secretly pledged their word to the government of Great Britain, which at that time sat like a Queen over the other nations,
that if peace was maintained between the two nations, and the republican government of France acknowledged, they would have the means and the power of saving the life of their last king, the weak and unfortunate LOUIS, and to spare the blood demanded by a ferocious, corrupted and enraged faction.
But behold!! "The new Babylon, the new mother of abominations, drunken with the blood of the martyrs" who fell under the dagger of her assassins in the fields of America, hating the king who had aided himself with her former subjects, being herself the invisible mover of those monsters who wanted to disgrace France with scaffolds and prisons—and vicining in the meek and lowly principles of democracy the end of all her works of iniquity, lust, despotism and infamy,
treated with the most provoking insolence and indignity the friends of humanity peace and liberty.
Yes—instead of accepting the olive branch which was offered, her and thereby saving the life of that unhappy monarch in whose misfortunes she hypocritically pretended to sympathize—instead of embracing the opportunity which presented for preventing a dreadful effusion of blood—she provoked the French nation to the commission of deeds, the recollection of which afterwards chilled the blood of every Frenchman with horror.
She plotted the most wicked conspiracies against and among them—She contrived the abominable plan of starving twenty-five millions of human beings—She excited all the kings and all the governments of the earth, without distinction, to join her in an open or secret confederacy for the destruction of a rival whom she detested, because she could not subdue her—and the only crime for which all these dreadful calamities of war and famine were to be inflicted on the French nation, was, the attempt to establish a form of government from which they anticipated much national benefit and individual happiness.
And to use the language of the scriptures, those nations who joined the barbarous league let on foot by England "fornicated with her and drunk more or less of the wine of her wrath."
But what can all the kings, all the chief magistrates, all the great and rich men do against the will of God?
Unprepared for a general war, devoured
by internal factions, with a disorganized army and navy, having no money, no credit, no government, no fixed system—the French patriots, emulating the many example set before them by their American brethren, and supported by the hand of Providence alone, entered boldly in the field of battle,
"and poured the vial of the wrath of God upon the earth." They fought, they conquered, and offered peace again to their foes.
With deceit and perfidy they accepted it—but if peace was on their lips, war was in their hearts—England was not defeated.
She was grown rich by the ruin of other nations, by the monopoly of their trade, by her tyranny over the seas, by her continual violation of the laws of nations.
And advised by the devil, through the organ of her money making men, she raised new conspiracies, new coalitions, new confederacies, a gainst the friends of liberty all over the world—and her forerunners, supported by her gold, would have succeeded if the hand which had "put courage in the heart" of the French had not also put wisdom in their heads, to avoid the snares of "that great harlot who sitteth upon many waters."
By a miracle—in the height of their enthusiasm for the principles of liberty and equality—feeling that a free government was too mild to destroy "the great whore and all the kings who had fornicated with her," they threw a veil over the rights of men, suspended their republican constitution, and established a military government much better calculated than a democratic administration to pour effectually the wrath of God upon the earth—to punish the authors of the woes of mankind, and to "give blood and royalty to drink to fury" to those who had practiced despotism and aristocracy above all earthly things—who had caused, by their infernal policy, the blood of many great nations of liberty, and who had persecuted or caused to be persecuted, in every part of the world, even in obscurity and retirement the meek and lowly friends of equality, the true followers and servants of CHRIST.
"And it has happened so as it was ordered. A great warrior, faithful and true, who in righteous judgments, doth judge and make war, who has on his head many crowns, whose vesture is dipped in blood, and out of whose mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations," took the command—"The Beast and the Kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him, but he has defeated all those who were deceived by the mother of abominations, and he will soon overcome her and make her come to nought."
"And no nation will trade with her and wear her merchandise." "And the merchants of the earth which were made rich by her shall weep and mourn over her; for no one will buy their merchandise any more; and they shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing."
"And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and SAILORS, and as many as trade by sea, shall stand afar off."
Let us wonder with great admiration at those memorable and instructing events which are revolving before our eyes.
Let us praise the Lord whose judgments are true and righteous. Let us fervently pray that the measures adopted by our government may produce the desirable effect of preserving peace to us whilst the tempest of war roars in distant regions.
And that if we are not called upon by the God of hosts to lend a pious hand for the execution of his decrees—if we are not allowed "to revenged the new Babylon as she has rewarded us," our rulers may still continue to "fund afar off"—that our people may "come out of that condemned city which is sinking into the pit of perdition," and be saved from being partakers of her sins, from receiving her plagues and being involved in her awful end.
So clearly, so evidently, so accurately predicted in the 17th, 18th and 19th chapters of the revelations of St. John the divine from which the passages of this communication printed in Italy are extracted.
Let every American read those chapters; they ought to be read at all times—but the awful crisis to which we are approaching, particularly entitles them to that degree of attention which must give rise to the most profound meditations among reflecting men of all classes in this country.
Never, perhaps, has the fulfilment of ancient prophecies been more strikingly exemplified than in the picture exhibited by the profligate policy which for fifteen years, has governed the councils of Great-Britain, and we much fear the same policy will be pursued by her till the prophecies alluded to above, are fully accomplished.

The British order of Council, of March 23th, 1793, for the capture of all neutral bound any port in France with provisions.
This order was the fruit of a secret convention

THE CRISIS.
We ask only the free and undisturbed use of the ocean as a public highway for our vessels, citizens and property—
We have as unquestionable a right to this, as one of our people has to travel our common roads and streets unobstructed—
No power has a better authority to stop or search our vessels, to impress our citizens, or seize our property, than one man has to stop another along the road, overhaul his waggon and take what part of his loading he chooses, and force his son or servant away into his own service—
Yet this our undeniable right Britain has repeatedly and systematically violated—
These heinous and insufferable wrongs Britain has unceasingly inflicted upon us—
She has seized our vessels—
Plundered our property—
Impressed our seamen—
We have negotiated for redress—
She has prolonged the negotiations for years; and when brought to a close, clogged the compact with such supplementary conditions that it would have stamped everlasting infamy on our government to have acceded to them—
Instead of doing us Justice, her insults and outrages are repeated and aggravated—
Her pretended right of search is extended to coasting vessels within our own waters; and a Master of a Coaster is wantonly murdered for not instantly obeying their insolent command, to heave too—
Her practice of Impressment is carried even to our ships of war—a national frigate at the mouth of our own harbor, has broadside after broadside poured into her, and her seamen mangled and massacred, for refusing to submit to the ignominy of having her crew multerred by foreign officers, and her men taken away by violence—
Adhering to its pacific system of policy, our Government remonstrates—
Our seamen are not given up—
The murderers of our citizens are not punished—
Her squadrons are not withdrawn from our coasts and harbors—
Our rights are not respected by her cruisers—
But a Minister is sent under pretence of treating with us—
Meantime her American possessions are fortified—
Her army in her adjoining territory is augmented—
The Indians are collected by thousands on our frontiers, and incited by drink, and presents and promises, to take up the tomahawk and scalping knife against us—
New Orders are issued by her Government cutting off our trade with the greater part of Europe—
A Proclamation is promulgated, setting up a claim to take every person who may have been born in the British Dominions, tho' such person may have removed to and settled in the U. States, and become a naturalized citizen or even an officer thereof—
Yet after all these unprovoked and unexampled wrongs, heaped one upon another, either of which to any other nation might have been the foundation of a war, our Government takes only pacific steps—and consents to receive and to treat with their Minister—
Americans! do not these things fully prove, on the one hand, the implacable hostility of Britain, and her determination to force you into a war, or to wrest from you your dearest rights, your very Independence itself?
Do they not evince on the other hand the sincere desire of your government for the preservation of peace, and their Resolution that nothing but the maintenance of your National Sovereignty and essential Rights shall induce them to enter into a war?
Will you not rally round and support your Government, while thus supporting your rights and interests against the iniquitous usurpations and lawless aggressions of a foreign nation, which has been your ancient, uniform, unappeasable foe?
Every thing which could be done by a Government to preserve peace, has been done by yours—and if, after all, a war is unavoidable, will you not every one contribute your aid to make it terrible to your enemy and glorious to your country?
Unworthy must we be of the innumerable privileges and blessings we enjoy from a free Government, if we will not use the means God has put into our hands to support and protect it!
Degenerate indeed must we be, if the rights which cost our fathers a seven years war to establish, are tamely surrendered by their children without resistance!
Affairs have now reached their crisis—men's souls are once more to be tried—and let those who are found wanting in the hour of trial, never be trusted in the returning days of prosperity.
A blind fatality sometimes pervades the imagination of some honest republicans, whose too ardent zeal for the refinement of principle, induces them to leap the barriers of prudence and give vent to the introduction of anarchy or arbitrary power, by the destruction of the link which binds the whole chain of republican sentiment together.
However imperfect the mode of nomination of a President at Washington by members of Congress may be, it must be observed that it is to that measure the republicans owe the elevation of our present highly respected President. This measure has produced the downfall of federalism, and therefore that our political opponents should be angry at the adoption of measures the execution of which forever closes to them the avenues to power, is neither matter of surprise nor regret; but that professed republicans should decry the measure can only be ascribed to chagrin and disappointment. Had a favorite been the candidate, the cries of usurpation and dictatorship would never have dinmed our ears. One age passeth away and another cometh, so when one good measure be done away let a better succeed. Unanimity is a spirit that ought forever to be cherished among republicans—a house divided against itself cannot stand; and our political adversaries delight in sowing the seeds of division. The impetuosity of domestic commotion is favorable to the designs of a foreign foe; and it is only by the fomentation of intestine discord, that our enemies can expect to reap even a partial advantage. United we stand—Divided we fall. The present is pregnant with momentous events, of the highest consequence in the scale of American freedom.—Patriotism will shortly be tested, and it will then be known whether the most vociferous demagogues are the patrons of the benign goddess of liberty, and the exclusive guardians of our national independence; or whether the calm and determined advocates of the representative system are to be admitted among the life guard of freedom at her sacred shrine.
National Legislature.
TENTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From the National Intelligencer. A supplemental journal of such proceedings as during the time they were depending, were ordered to be kept secret, and respecting which the injunction of secrecy was afterwards removed.
FRIDAY, FEB. 26.
A confidential message in writing was received from the president of the United States, by Mr. Coles, his Secretary as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
"I enclose for the information of Congress, letters recently received from our ministers at Paris and London, communicating their representations against the last decrees and orders of France and Great Britain, heretofore transmitted to Congress. These documents will contribute to the information of Congress, as to the dispositions of these two powers, and to the probable course of their proceedings towards neutrals; and will doubtless have their due influence in adapting the measures of the legislature to the actual crisis.
Although nothing forbids the general matter of these letters from being spoken of without reserve; yet as the publication of papers of this description would restrain intercourse, they are communicated, so far confidentially, and a request that after being read to the satisfaction of both houses, they may be returned.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Feb. 26th, 1808.
The said message and papers accompanying the same being read, a motion was made by Mr. Quincy and seconded that the house do come to the following resolution:—"Resolved, That previous to a return of the papers accompanying the message of the President of the United States, this day communicated, the clerk of this house take and retain copies thereof."
Another motion was made by Mr. Quincy and seconded that the house do come to the following resolution:—"Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to lay before the house such letters recently received from the American minister at Paris, as accompanied the said minister's representations against the late decrees and orders of France, communicated to Congress in the message of this day under such restrictions as in his opinion the public interest may require."
And on the question that the house do now proceed to take the said motion into consideration, it passed in the negative, yeas 60, nays 62.
We understand that the papers communicated by the President in his message consisted of a correspondence between Mr. Armstrong and the Secretary of State.
The letters of Mr. Armstrong are not very recent, and altogether relate to the condemnation of the ship Horizon.
The letters from Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Madison, are dated Nov. 23d, Dec. 14th, Dec. 29th and Jan. 2d.
The first letter is of considerable length, and details several conversations with Mr. Canning relative to the late British orders; to which the subsequent letters are merely appendages. In these communications Mr. Pinkney takes a wide and forcible view of the injustice of these orders: states an opinion though popular they will not be of long continuance—and intimates that from his conversations with Mr. Canning, there are no hopes of their relaxation. Mr. Rose is
said not to have been acquainted with them on his departure; having been sent on a special mission, and it being intended that Mr. Erskine should be continued as Minister resident. The merchants had desired an explanation whether American produce might not pass unobstructed, the answer given to which was in the negative. Mr. P. in his discussions with Mr. Canning contends that the French decree of November 21st is no justification of the British orders, the former involving only the exercise of municipal powers.
MONDAY, FEB. 29.
Mr. Clapton submitted the following resolution: Resolved by the Senate and house of representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, two thirds of both houses concurring, that the following be proposed as an amendment to the constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three fourths of the legislatures of the several states, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the said constitution, to wit:
The senators in the Congress of the United States may be removed from Office by a vote of a majority of the whole number of the legislatures of the respective states by which they may have been appointed.
Mr. Clapton also presented a resolution of the legislature of Virginia, instructing their senators and requesting their representatives in congress to use their endeavors to procure an amendment to the constitution of the United States to the above effect.
Both these Resolutions were referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Dawson, laid before the house an act for the defence of the eastern frontiers of this commonwealth," (authorizing the raising of eight companies of artillery)—He observed, that as the constitution of the United States provided that no state should raise an army without the consent of Congress, he moved that the bill be referred to a select committee of five. Agreed to.
Mr. Dawson, from the select committee, reported "a bill authorizing the raising an additional army," which was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Clapton, from the select committee, reported "a bill to revive and make permanent the act prescribing the mode of taking evidence in cases of contested elections for members of the house of representatives of the United States and to compel the attendance of witnesses and in addition thereto."

Mr. D. R. Williams called for the ayes and noes on its passage. They were ordered to be taken; when Mr. Livermore, Mr. Lyon, and Mr. Gardner, spoke at length against the bill; and Mr. G. W. Campbell, and Mr. Smilie, in favour of it.
The question was then taken by ayes and noes on the passage of the bill, and it passed, ayes 97, noes 22.
The house proceeded to consider the amendment of the senate to the bill to permit the importation of old copper, free of duty. The amendment is as follows;

The house went into committee of the whole on the resolution some time ago bro't forward by Mr. Dawson, as follows:
"Resolved, That the Secretary of war be authorized, under the direction of the President of the United States, to sell to the several states which may wish to purchase, any arms owned by the United States, which can be parted with, without injury to the public interest."
The resolution was agreed to without debate, when the committee rose and reported their agreement to it. The house immediately took it up.
Messrs. Rowan and Goldsborough opposed the resolution; and Messrs. Bibb, Dawson and M'Clay, Bacon, Key, Smilie, Troup and Taylor advocated it.
The question was then taken on agreeing to the resolution, and it was carried, ayes 72. It was then referred to a select committee for the purpose of bringing in a bill.
[This bill authorizes the President to sell five companies of infantry, one regiment of riflemen, one regiment of light artillery, and one regiment of light cavalry.]
TUESDAY, MARCH 1.
Mr. Dawson reported a bill authorizing the sale of public arms, which was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Vanhorst offered a resolution, proposing to amend the constitution of the U. S. so as to provide that no person shall be eligible as a Senator or Representative in Congress, who shall hold any office under the government of the U. S. or who shall make any contract with the government. Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Talmadge, from the committee to whom was referred the President's message of the 26th ult. reported "a bill authorizing a detachment from the militia of the U. S." which was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
The house went into committee of the whole on the "bill authorizing the raising an ADDITIONAL ARMY," (which was yesterday brought in by Mr. Dawson.)
Mr. Dawson said it would be observed that this bill authorized the raising of the number of men proposed by the secretary at war [whose letter was published last week] He therefore moved to fill the blank in the first section with the word "five," (so as to provide that the men shall be enlisted for that term. Agreed to.
Mr. Talmadge observed, that as this bill was said to have been framed in conformity with the report of the Secretary at War, and as the Secretary had recommended the appointment of no officer higher than a brigadier general, he moved to strike out that part of the third section, which authorizes the appointment of two major generals.
Mr. Dawson said that this subject had been fully discussed on a former occasion, and the House had determined to appoint two Major Generals. The motion of Mr. Talmadge was carried.
Mr. Talmadge then moved to strike out that part of the same section which provides that the inspector general shall have the pay and emoluments of a major general. Agreed to.
Mr. Dawson moved to amend the same section, so as to provide that the inspector general shall have the rank, pay and emoluments of a colonel. Agreed to.

Mr. Dawson moved to fill it with "104" Carried. Mr. Blount offered a new section, providing, that in case of war, the President shall have power to appoint two major generals, with two aids-de-camp each. Left.
The committee of the whole rose, and reported the bill as amended; but the house did not take it up.
A message was received from the Senate, notifying that they had passed the bill sent from this house, entitled, "An act for the extension of credit on REVENUE BONDS in certain cases"—Also, the bill entitled, "An act making appropriations, for the support of the military establishment of the United States, during the year 1808."
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2.

States," which was twice read and committed for Monday. Ordered to be printed, together with a letter from the attorney general of the United States. This bill is a short one. It punishes conspiracies to commit treason, by fine and imprisonment, together with surety for good behaviour.
BY THE MAILS.
The following plan, for the immediate organization of a military force, has been laid before congress, and arises out of the information in the messages of the President.
PLAN.
It is proposed, for the consideration of congress, to raise, as soon as practicable, six thousand regular troops: and to have engaged, in the several states, twenty-four thousand volunteers, who shall serve twelve months in any twenty-four months, within the term of five years, to be armed and equipped by the United States, and to be regularly encamped in their respective states, from two to three months every year, and exercised under the direction of inspectors to be appointed by the President of the United States, to receive pay and rations, and be furnished with camp equipage, and to receive one suit of uniform clothing once in three or four years. The officers, except the inspectors and paymasters, to be appointed by the respective states; the pay annually to commence the day they march for their respective encampments, and to continue until their return home, allowing one day for each twenty miles march, to and from the encampment; no corporal punishment to be inflicted, but all offences to be punished by close confinement, and short allowances, or fines; or both—the time of confinement not to exceed thirty days, and the fines not to exceed the pay that may be due; commissioned officers to be governed by the rules and articles of war, established for the regular army—the twenty-four thousand to be apportioned in the several states, in proportion to the number of militia in each state, in such proportions of infantry, artillery, cavalry and riflemen as the President of the United States shall direct, and organized into companies, battalions, regiments and brigades, or other corps as shall be found expedient, according to the numbers in each state respectively; to be encamped in the respective states, at such time and place or places as the President of the United States shall from time to time direct, and be liable to serve in their respective states, or adjoining states and territories.
The six thousand regular troops proposed to be raised, to consist of five regiments of infantry, one regiment of horse artillery, and one regiment of riflemen, composed of eight hundred men each, exclusive of commissioned officers, and one regiment of cavalry, to consist of eight companies of fifty men each, exclusive of commissioned officers.
PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 23.
We are informed, that it is in contemplation to establish a Manufactory of coarse Woolen, Cotton, and Flax cloths, suitable for blankets, sheetings and labourers wear, upon some convenient site in the neighbourhood of this city, on terms at once so liberal, that a fair experiment shall be made without the hazard of any individual sustaining a loss that can affect him. The chance of a fair remuneration, will, however, be much in favor of the stockholder, as it has been pretty well ascertained that the raw materials, when converted into cloth of the kind contemplated to be manufactured, will be worth more than two fold of its original value. The labour saved by machinery, especially when put into motion by water is so great as to save a large portion of the manual labour, the cost of which, has constituted almost the only objection to manufactures in this country. No doubt can now remain, but the manufacturer may receive as ample a profit for his stock vested without an equal hazard, as can be gained by any fair mercantile speculation independent of the highest considerations of national policy. We shall give, what we understand to be the outlines of the articles of association:—The capital stock of the company to consist of 50,000 dollars, to be divided into shares of 50 dollars each, 5 dollars to be paid on each share at the time of subscribing, and the remaining 45 dollars to be paid by instalments of five dollars; subject to the order of the board of managers; allowing at least 60 days between the payment of each instalment. As soon as 500 shares shall be subscribed for, managers to be chosen, and immediate arrangements made for commencing the operation.
MARCH 2.—One fact which escaped us yesterday, in the hasty perusal of our English letters, was, that the British government had issued orders to the several ports, of a concealed kind, to prevent the sailing of any British vessels for the United States—the information reaches us in an unquestionable shape, as Mr. Pinkney has not made any sort of reserve in communicating information to the Americans in London. [Aurora.]
LONDON, JAN. 9.
The following able and comprehensive statement of facts and arguments, applicable to the question of our contest with America, we submit to the serious examination of our countrymen, and strongly recommend it to the peculiar attention of ministers. If they are accessible to reasons deduced from considerations of justice or policy, they must be strongly impressed by this statement.
The amount of British manufactures exported annually to the United States, is estimated to exceed ten millions sterling, and the demand has been for some time past rapidly increasing, to the great advantage of our manufacturers.
This increasing demand proceeds from the following causes—
"The growing population and wealth of the United States, creating a greatly increased consumption, which necessarily requires an adequate supply; and from the commercial enterprises of the people of that country, constantly discovering new and remote markets for our manufactures, imported by them for exportation, and which thus finds their way into distant channels for consumption, where they were before unknown, and into the colonies of the enemy, to which this country, as a belligerent, has not access.
"It is estimated, that a sum exceeding twelve millions sterling is owing by individuals in the United States, to the merchants and manufacturers of the United Kingdom; which property, there is too much reason to apprehend would, for an indefinite time, at least, be directed from its regular channels, by the obstructions which a state of hostility will naturally and inevitably present to its just appropriation in the event of a hostile determination on the part of the American government. Such a result is to be feared, will be productive of extensive and general distress in this country, and greatly augment that already felt in the manufacturing districts in the North, owing to a suspension of the demand for the American Market, following so closely the privation of the trade with the European continent.
"Among the many important consequences of a rupture with the United States, are disadvantages which would accrue to the commercial interests at large, from being deprived of trading through the neutral medium now left them; and the general inconvenience and partial distress which must be experienced by his Majesty's subjects in the West-India islands, in case of such a war taking place. The advantage should also be considered of preserving the American market open to our needs for timber and naval stores; and also the benefit which this country might in the present state of Europe, derive from America, as a granary, should a period of scarcity recur, and a good understanding be preferred.
"There is great reason to believe that if the late Orders in Council are acted upon as they now stand, without any modification (as they refer to articles the growth of the U. S.) it will tend to produce in the minds of the U. S. a feeling of determined hostility to this country; inasmuch obliging American vessels, laden wholly with the produce of their soil, to enter into our ports and take out a clearance from thence will be received as a novel and vexatious interference in the innocent commerce of an independent and neutral nation; and in the event of the American government's not being induced at once to resort to acts of direct hostility (which is most to be apprehended) it may immediately adopt restrictive commercial regulations in retaliation, which will in effect be productive of a complete suspension of all mercantile intercourse between the two countries, and operate as inconvenience little short of actual warfare."
The expeditions intended from England had not reached their destination according to any accounts we have received. Sir Sidney Smith continued the blockade of the Tagus, and the English ships are so disposed of a ready co-operation could be effected upon the coasts of Europe. We have no additional accounts respecting the French movements towards Gibraltar, but the English by their late commercial regulations have secured as far as they could the trade of that port to their own merchandize. The English calculate much upon the trade of Brazil, and ships were fitting out. The ships at present are to stop at the island of St. Catharine for orders, so that nothing could be settled till after the landing of the Prince in that country. The English ships in the West Indies, we are told, are careful not to disturb neutral commerce in the present state of their Islands, and much is said of the humane conduct of Admiral Cochrane on that station. The English must encounter difficulties every where, and the sudden changes in its vast commerce will not admit speedy relief. We are told that these Cotton manufactures employ a million of persons, and the materials cost 3,000,000, and 9,000,000 are paid for the labour. From their breweries we have an account, that 12 of them in London carried on the work in such extent, that they produced in 1807 from 30 to 170 thousand bbls. each. From their market at Smithfield we learn that they had by their feeding in 50 years doubled the weight of flesh which their cattle brought to market, and in 1794 brought to that market 108 thousand cattle, and 707,000 sheep, and have 26,000,000 of acres in cultivation. All these great operations, however seemingly different, are put and kept in motion by their commerce; and sudden changes abroad must disturb every thing at home. Yet we discover as yet no relaxation from their first claims, but a disposition to assert the full power of the nation in every danger. [Salem Register.]
Only two American vessels at Trinidad Jan. 22.—Flour twenty-five dollars. and other things in proportion. No official account of the embargo received.

As the late punishment inflicted by Mr. Campbell, one of the most respectable and influential members in Congress, on a rash young man, who weekly suffered himself to be pushed forward by the little party of despicable feds, that yet occupy a nook on the floor of Congress, has engaged the public attention—we have selected such parts of Mr. Campbell's reply, as were influential in producing the chasm.—The subject before the House was a supplemental bill to the Embargo Act.
Mr. G. W. CAMPBELL said it was with more than usual reluctance that he rose to address the House on this occasion, and nothing but a sense of duty would impel him to enter into a discussion in which it might be necessary to notice charges made against the majority of this House, of the Senate and against the government in general, which if true ought to be proved and made known to the public, so as to produce a total renovation in the national councils, and if false, ought to consign their authors to that disgraceful infamy which such conduct was calculated to draw upon them; an infamy that should mark them out as common calumniators, and hold them forth as fit objects for national contempt. The petty scribblers in the party newspapers have been for some time engaged in circulating reports of French influence over the councils of the nation; these charges were in themselves so destitute of even the semblance of truth, so totally unfounded, and unsupported by any facts to give them the color of probability, that they made little or no impression on the public mind, and were rejected as slanderous falsehoods, the mere offspring of malignity, as generally as they were known. The more respectable public prints of the same party refuted these charges and treated them with that contempt which they deserved. They therefore received no serious notice from those against whom they were made, and there appeared to be a general disposition to suffer them to sink into that total oblivion to which the good sense of the nation would most certainly have consigned them. But when those charges are borrowed from those petty scribblers, and echoed and repeated on this floor, by a person having the honor of a seat in the House, it is high time they should be noticed, to be longer silent would be criminal. Illus is now joined, and the guilty, whoever they may be, whether the accused or the accusers, must stand forth before the nation, stripped of their mask of concealment, to receive the sentence of public indignation, that will frown them with contempt into obscurity. For there is no medium in this case, the accusers or the accused must be guilty—must be enemies to their country—and it is high time the nation, the people of America, should know their friends from their foes. The crisis calls for it, the duty we owe the people calls for it, and the honor and dignity of this House demand that the guilty should be exposed. If the charges can be supported that any portion of the members of this House are acting under foreign influence, let the people know it, let them change their representation, let them fend men of integrity, who are superior to the secret influence of a foreign power; but if on the contrary those allegations are found to be false and unfounded, then let the nation know this and let the finger of scorn point at those who have published such groundless calumnies, and render them the objects of public contempt and detestation. This subject is now fairly before the public, and he who had made such serious charges on this floor, charges that the majority of this House is acting under the impulse of French or Gallic influence, will it be presumed produce to this House and the nation, and he is now called upon to do so, the proofs, the evidence or facts that support those charges, and if these are not produced, it must be considered by this House and by the nation, that there are no such proofs of facts, and that therefore these charges are groundless calumnies circulated abroad at this important crisis by the enemies of this country, to distract the public mind and destroy the confidence of the people in their government, which would pass the energies of the nation, and render her more vulnerable to the attacks of a foreign enemy.
When charges of the most serious nature are made on this floor against the majority of the House—charges that they are acting under and governed by French influence (for this is in substance the allegation,) charges which I believe to be unfounded with respect to every member in the House, of the majority, and which so far as regards myself I know to be, and now so declare them, infamous, groundless falsehoods; it may be proper, and I deem it my duty to state very briefly some of the reasons that governed my conduct in voting for the law laying an embargo, and the subsequent supplemental act, for carrying into more complete effect the same object; and which will also induce me to vote for the bill now under discussion.
No man of sense can suppose that France would wish or dictate a measure that would produce as great, if not greater injury to herself than to her enemy. Such a supposition would be next to madness. From these considerations, it would be supposed that no man, who had made himself in any degree acquainted with the situation of this country in regard to the belligerent powers, and had considered the effects that this measure would have on them, could for a moment entertain the opinion, or even hazard a conjecture that it was adopted under the influence of any foreign power, much less under that of France. The allegation is so wild, so inconsistent in itself—so destitute of the least semblance of probability, and altogether unsupported by the least shadow of proof, that nothing but the basest malignity of heart could engender and publish so shameless, foul and infamous a falsehood, and yet, fir, said Mr. Campbell, it has been echoed on this floor—founded in your ears in the frantic strains of a raving maniac, and in the discussion of a subject, no ways calculated to excite such extraordinary passions. Hence it may be supposed it was a premeditated scheme to seize on that occasion in order to give vent to those vindictive passions against the government and the republicans of this nation, which seem entirely to occupy and engross the minds of certain persons. In so doing what was said by the member from N. York, I beg to be understood, as not considering these statements as deriving any sort of consequence or importance from him who made them here. It is not on that account, that they merit, or receive the least notice.
That person can only be considered as the mere conduit used by those behind the screen to convey these groundless slanders to the public—the common trumpeter who gives no importance to what he makes public, except what is derived merely from the place he occupies, or the duties assigned him to perform. It is not therefore apprehended that what has been said on this occasion by that member will make any other or stronger impression on the public mind than was made by the same tale, when handed to the public through the medium of party or hireling newspapers.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1808. The most interesting article from Europe is the result of the enquiries respecting the prospect of peace between France and England. It has been mentioned that the mediation of Russia was proposed by the English before the peace of Tilsit. The difference of situation between the time before that event and the present state of the Russian Empire, leaves nothing to conclude from these transactions. The declaration of Russia, and the reply of England, discover the most powerful causes against a mediation. The Austrian mediation originated in a political alliance which was dissolved by the disastrous wars of Germany. Whatever it is to be hoped from the mediation of Russia of Austria must be contemplated from French negotiations rather than from any English measures taken at a time when both these courts were pursuing violent measures against England, and withdrawing their ministers from the English Court. In consequence we find different reports from England, some of which absolutely deny that England would accept of any such mediation. The great distress which arises from the rigor of the decrees and orders induce many wishes and make many things appear friendly to pacific arrangements. [Effex Reg.]
While commerce has its interruptions we cannot refuse to be pleased with the means which tend to multiply our domestic resources. Our household manufactures were reckoned at 20 millions in 1790, and they are believed to approach to nearly double that sum yearly at the present time. The spirit which has displayed itself with great honor at Baltimore has diffused itself, and preparations are making for a coarse woolen manufacture near Philadelphia, in which economy and articles of the first necessity will employ their patriotic exertions, that nothing might be done beyond the reach of fair calculation. But we are already possessed of great internal wealth, and the advantages from an early communication between our settlements would be immense. Attention is turned also to this subject, and in circumstances which may promise a happy direction of the boldest enterprise. [Ibid.]
The President's Letter of 26th Feb. respecting the correspondence of ministers upon foreign affairs, is an excellent one. It contains a sentiment which all parties support, when they have to obtain the impartial statement of the proceedings and views of foreign courts, and is an excellent answer to the loud clamors which have been raised about secret information and such things as may disturb the public mind, and lay the offender under no danger of suffering. For should the papers be exposed amply, and nothing be found in them, which had not been in substance communicated, then it would be said, If we had known them sooner we should not have said so much about them. [Ibid.]
A spirited article in a late London print on the recent British Orders, concludes in the following terms: "These orders we take it, are as good as a declaration of war against America; and their effect will be, instead of reducing the tone and crippling the means of one enemy, to give us another. We shall then have to fight with all the world for commerce, without a foul to buy an article from us; and whilst we rule the sea, there will not be an inch of coast free to receive a bale of our commodities."
Every act of the British Cabinet and the consequent dispositions of our own, indicate approaching hostilities. If we can guess, the mission of Mr. Roke is confined solely to the affair of the Chesapeake, but like a shrewd negotiator, he will not disclose the object of his mission and the extent of his powers, until the proclamation of the President shall be reissued in order to afford the British cruisers occasional harbors of repose, after satiating their predatory dispositions on our defenceless commerce in the West Indies.
The frequent extracts of letters which appear in the ledger & prints respecting the state of the negotiations ought to be totally disregarded, as neither their writers nor publishers are entitled to any iota of credit. They are, strictly speaking, the harpies of the embassy, striving to ingratiate themselves in the good graces of Messrs. Roke and Erskine, by contending who can excel in the defamation of our own government.
As the press has a considerable influence in the direction of public opinion, by being a register of passing events, the editors of newspapers ought, in these turbulent times, to be looked upon with a jealous eye. The frequent distortion of facts, and publications of sheer falsehoods which have of late so frequently appeared in the federal press, and their inadvertent admission into some republican prints have frequently given them the colorings of truth.
The affairs of America are drawing to a crisis, and the probability of war is with Britain; not in accordance to the wishes of the "unseen hand" who Mr. Gardener, with his accustomed effrontery, has dared to assert, directed the movements of our government; but in vindication of that which is most dear to Americans—Life, Liberty and Independence. We ask indemnities for spoliations on our commerce, Great Britain refuses; we claim the liberty of the seas, she fits sovereignty; we ask reparation for the murder of our citizens, she refuses until we open our harbors to afford an asylum to her ships of war, while they are plundering our citizens of the rewards of their industry. And notwithstanding the repeated inuendos and injuries of that government heaped upon us daily, &c see editors of American newspapers, appropriating their conduct and reproaching ours with all the ardor of a Treasury print. If this is not effected through the agency of British secret services money, how is it accomplished? The answer can be given by the Russells and the Parkes of Boston; the Langs and the Colemans of New York; the Bronfons and the Reifs of Philadelphia; the Findlays of Washington, and the Solomons of Baltimore. [Bull. Amer.]
POSTSCRIPT. Intended siege of Gibraltar. Capt. Kitts, of the Schooner Julien, arrived at Philadelphia from Lisbon, which he left on the 25th of January, informs, that it was very currently reported, at his departure, that a French army, consisting of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN, had entered Spain, on their way to besiege Gibraltar; which, it was added, was to be conducted by Bonaparte in person.
It is mentioned as official, in a letter received yesterday from Philadelphia, that Mr. Roke "leaves this country without being able to effect any settlement of differences."
DUEL. —The expected Duel between Mr. Gardener and Mr. G. W. Campbell has been fought.—Mr. Gardener received a severe wound, but is not thought dangerous.
Of New-Orleans. —The intelligence which has excited so much alarm, relative to the re-assembly of the conspirators under the influence of Burr & Blennerhassie, is false.
The conversation said to have taken place between Mr. Madison and Mr. Roke, and which the tory press held forth with such unblushing impudence as authentic—turns out to be an impudent and unfounded fabrication, totally destitute of truth. [Aurora.]
The following extract is selected from an ancient publication—Addressed "To all Printers of public Newspapers."
"TELL it to the whole World, and let it be published in every News-paper thro' AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA and AFRICA, to the everlasting disgrace and infamy of the British King's commanders at New-York, "That during the revolutionary War, ELEVEN THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED American Prisoners, suffered death by the inhuman, cruel, savage and barbarous usage on board the filthy and malignant British Prison ship called the JERSEY, lying at New-York.—Brins, tremble lest the vengeance of Heaven fall on your life, for the blood of these unfortunate victims! AN AMERICAN."
The Tammany Society or Columbian order of New-York have made arrangements for interring the relics of the American Seamen, Soldiers & citizens, above alluded to. The interment is to take place with great solemnity; all classes of our citizens are invited to assist in the elegies—the bones of eleven thousand five hundred patriots and citizens are to be collected together, (for this number perished on board the Jersey prison ship,) and a monument is to be erected over them, with suitable devices, &c.—Thus shall the inhumanity of the deed, be forever remembered.
COMMUNICATION. The MILITIA, the bulwark of our Country! Messrs. Printers,
In case of an invasion of our Country, the Militia, (under Providence) would be our only, our ultimate defence! But I would ask, is the reward which is assigned by the Government of our common country to this brave, this intrepid class of our fellow citizens, a sufficient stimulus to induce them as it were, to take their lives in their hands and go forward, in defiance of all danger, to fight our battles, and to defend the rights, the privileges and the property of that other class of our fellow citizens whom age, riches, honors, titles and offices, exclude from the dangers, hardships and sufferings of a military life?—I would further ask, where is the justice in forcing the poor labourer and industrious mechanic from their families and their business, to serve their country and defend the lives and property of their rich neighbours, without an adequate reward?—Is it not a fact, that the Militia of our country, are thus compelled to serve for less than twenty cents per day? When our Rulers, who have the fixing of their own salaries, receive the most ample compensation for even the least service rendered their fellow citizens.—Is this adjudging and rewarding according to our Bill of Rights, which says, The "Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family or class of men?" Therefore, if perverted so as to oppress and burden one class of citizens above another, and withhold suitable rewards,—is there no remedy? I would ask, is this not the case?—Have the Government of the United States, or this State, sufficiently appreciated the merits, the heroism, and the bravery of our hardy and intrepid soldiery? If not it is earnestly hoped this subject will speedily be taken into consideration, both by the General & State Governments—and such excitements to duty, and rewards to bravery and merit awarded, as shall stimulate our militia to a faithful discharge of their important duty and invaluable trust,—and not throw the burden of an additional compensation to the militia, on such generous towns or individuals as feel disposed to do what is right, in rewarding the services of their faithful military fellow-citizens.
To the immortal honor of the town of DURHAM, be it known and recorded, that at their annual meeting the 8th inst. they voted to pay every man called upon to do military duty in the field, a reasonable compensation for his time and attendance.—This is doing not only well, but it is noble, generous and praiseworthy; and we hope our Legislature will be led by their example, to see the equity of compensating every man that is compelled by Law, to sacrifice his time in the public service.
ON Tuesday last agreeable to law, the citizens of this State assembled in their respective towns and gave in their suffrages for State and county officers.—In this town the Hon. JOHN S. SHERBURNE, Esq. presided as moderator—at the close of the meeting the votes were as follows:
For Governor, His Excellency JOHN LANGDON, Esq. 570 Scattering, 13 Councillor—DANIEL GOOKIN, 563 Scattering, 10 Senator—ELIJAH HALL, 567, Scattering 10 County Treasurer—NATH'L GILMAN, 545 Scattering, 9 County Recorder—JOSIAH ADAMS, 376, SETH WALKER, 139, SAMUEL FERNALD, 39. Representatives—CHARLES CUTTS, RICHARD EVANS, EDWARD CUTTS, & WILLIAM HAM, were re-elected. DIED.—In Charleston, (S.C.) 21st Feb. last, Mr. JOHN T. GILMAN, jun. merchant of Boston, only son of the Hon. J. T. Gilman, of Exeter.

Let Britain boast her naval power, And threaten how she'll tear us;

Should Traitors vile our union mar, They'll well deserve a lathering;
Yankee doodle—look about— Conspiracy and Treason,
Let Bunkers hill and Trenton tell, With York and Saratoga,
JERSEY BOYS—Make ready then Your Muskets, Pikes and Rifles,
MATERNAL AFFECTION.
A sailor of Martinique married a young woman, as virtuous as she was beautiful—and the having expended all the little money her husband had left her before he embarked, had recourse to a wealthy citizen to whose protection she had been confided.
