"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. "The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.

DOCUMENTS
ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 7th INSTANT.
[CONTINUED.]
From the Secretary of State to Mr. Erskine.
Department of State, March 25, 1808.
Sir,
HAVING laid before the president your letter of the 23d of February, explaining the character of certain British orders of council issued in November last, I proceed to communicate the observations and representations which will manifest to your government the sentiments of the president on so deep a violation of the U. States.
These orders interdict to neutral nations or rather to the United States now the only commercial nation in a state of neutrality, all commerce with the enemies of G. Britain, now nearly the whole commercial world, with certain exceptions only, and under certain regulations, but too evidently fashioned to the commercial, the manufacturing and the fiscal policy of Great Britain; and on that account, the more derogatory from the honor and independence of neutral nations.
The orders are the more calculated to excite surprise in the U. States as they have disregarded the remonstrances conveyed in my letters of the 20th and 29th March, 1807, against another order of council issued on a similar plea, in the month of January, 1807. To those just remonstrances no answer was indeed ever given; whilst the order has been continued in its pernicious operation against the lawful commerce of the U. States, and we now find added to it others, instituting still more ruinous depredations, without even the addition of any new pretext: and when moreover it is notorious, that the order of January was of a nature greatly to overbalance in its effects any injuries to Great Britain that could be apprehended from the illegal operation of the French decree on which the order was to retaliate, had that decree in its illegal operation been actually applied to the U. S. and been acquiesced in by them.
The last orders, like that of January, proceed on the most unsubstantial foundation. They assume for fact an acquiescence of the United States in an unlawful application to them of the French decree: and they assume for a principle that the right of retaliation accruing to one belligerent against a neutral, through whom an injury is done by another belligerent, is not to have for its measure that of the injury received, but may be exercised in any extent, and under any modifications which may suit the pleasure or policy of the complaining party.
The fact, sir, is unequivocally disowned. It is not true that the United States have acquiesced in an illegal operation of the French decree: nor is it even true that at the date of the British orders of November 11, a single application of that decree to the commerce of the U. S. on the high seas can be presumed to have been known to the British government.
The French decree in question has two distinct aspects, one clearly importing an intended operation within the territorial limits as a local law, the other apparently importing an intended operation on the high seas.
Under the first aspect, the decree, however otherwise objectionable, cannot be said to have violated the neutrality of the U. S. If the governing powers on the continent of Europe choose to exclude from their ports British property or British productions, or neutral vessels proceeding from British ports, it is an act of sovereignty which the U. S. have no right to controvert. The same sovereignty is exercised by Great Britain at all times, in peace as well as in war, towards her friends as well as her enemies. Her statute book presents a thousand illustrations.
It is only, therefore, under the other aspect of the decree, that it can have violated neutral rights; and this would have resulted from its execution on the high seas, whether on the pretext of a nominal blockade, or with a view to enforce a domestic regulation against foreign vessels, not within the domestic precincts, but under the authority and protection of the law of nations.
Had then the French decree been executed on the high seas against the commerce of the U. States with G. Britain; and have the U. States acquiesced in the unlawful and injurious proceeding?
I state, sir, on undeniable authority that the first instance in which that decree was put in force against the neutral rights of the U. States, was that of the Horizon, an American ship bound from Great Britain to Lima, wrecked within the territorial jurisdiction of France, but condemned under an exposition of the decree extending to the high seas its operation against neutrals.—This judicial decision took place as late as the 16th day of October, 1807, and was not officially known to the minister plenipotentiary of the U. States at Paris, till some time in November. At the date therefore of the first order of Great Britain no injury whatever had been done to her, through an aggression on the commerce of the U. S. No presumption even had been sufficiently authorised that the express stipulation in the treaty of France with the U. States would not exempt their commerce at least from the operation of any edict incompatible with them. At the date even of the latter orders of Nov. 11, it appears that the only aggression which had then occurred, was pretty certainly unknown to the British government, and could therefore have had no share in producing this alledged retaliation.
To this fact that the ship Horizon was the first that occurred of an execution of the French decree on the high seas. I am able to add that as late as the 30th of November, no other cause had been brought into the French court of prizes. From accounts which have lately appeared, it is no more than probable that unlawful captures by French cruisers have since taken place, but it remains to be known whether they are to be referred to the concurrence of the French government in the judgment pronounced in the case of the Horizon, or not rather to a French decree of 17th December last professing to be a retaliation on the British orders of Nov. 11.
I state with equal confidence, that at no time have the United States acquiesced in violations of their neutral rights injurious to Great Britain, or any other belligerent nation. So far were they, in particular, from acquiescing in the French decree of Nov. 1806, that the moment it was known to their minister at Paris he called for explanations of its meaning in relation to the United States which were favorable & uncontradicted by the actual operation of the decree; that he steadily watched over the proceedings under it, with a readiness to interpose against any unlawful extension of them to the commerce of the United States; that no time was lost, after the decree came to the knowledge of the government here, in giving him proper instructions on the subject; that he was equally prompt, on receiving the decision of the court in the case of the Horizon, in presenting to the French government a remonstrance in terms which can never be censured for a defect of energy; and that by the first opportunity after that decision reached the president the particular instructions required by it were forwarded to that minister. Nor is it to be forgotten that previous to the British orders of November, it had been explicitly communicated to the British government at the American minister at London, that explanations uncontradicted by any overt act had been given to our minister at Paris, which justifies a reliance that the French decree would not be put in force against the United States, and that the communication was repeated to the British government immediately on the publication of those orders.
What more could have been required on the part of the United States to obviate retaliating pretensions of any sort on the part of Great Britain? Retaliations are measures of rigor in all cases. Where they are to operate through a third and involuntary party, they will never be hastily resorted to by a magnanimous or just power; which will always allow to the third party its right to discuss the merits of the case, and will never permit itself to enforce its measures, without affording a reasonable means for substituting another remedy. What would be the situation of neutral powers, if the first blow levelled through them by one belligerent against another, was to leave them no choice but between the retaliating vengeance of the latter and an instant declaration of war against the former? Reason revolts against this as the sole alternative. The U. States could no more be bound to evade the British orders by an immediate war with France, than they were bound to atone for the burning of the French ship of war on the shore of North Carolina, by an immediate resort to arms against G. Britain.
[Letter to be continued.]
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, November 9.
[CONCLUDED.]
Mr. Elliot said it might, for aught he knew, be considered disrespectful to the President to urge the immediate agitation of this momentous question; but if it were so, a forbearance from so doing on that account, would be a respect inconsistent with the independence of sentiment which elevates and warms the character of an independent representative of an independent people. He had read somewhere in the works of celebrated newspaper civilians of this country, that "oppugnation" or even disrespect were treasonable offences. He hoped no gentleman here meant to advance the doctrine that disrespect partakes of the nature of treason.
Mr. E. then spoke of a resolution which he had intended to have offered, and which he described as leading to an enquiry into the mode in which the embargo law had been executed.
Notwithstanding the insinuation of the gentleman from N. Carolina (Mr. Alston) which no one could mistake, notwithstanding whole volumes of newspaper denunciation, Mr. Elliot said he trembled not for the character of Vermont. The great body of the people of Vermont, though hostile, as he firmly believed, to the whole system of the embargo, had manifested a degree of patriotism that had not been exceeded by any; they had never failed, when called upon, to march to the frontiers and enforce those laws which they disapproved.
He thought it due to the character of the nation to investigate this subject, the constitutionality of the laws, the propriety of their continuance, the manner in which they had been carried into execution, and the manner in which they had been evaded. Whilst he did not wish to precipitate the discussion, much less the decision, yet he thought the day mentioned by the gentleman from Pennsylvania was too distant. The people had certainly looked forward to the meeting of Congress with considerable solicitude, as much excited by the embargo system, as by the situation of our foreign affairs. The people of the United States, said he, do not believe that they are called upon to decide between the embargo or war. We who originally opposed the embargo law, believing that it would be ruinous to the nation, are under no obligation to propose the substitute which is called for, and which we would have proposed, though it would not have been adopted, had not the embargo been put into operation. Mr. E. apologised for his warmth on this subject, by alleging the sensibility he had felt at the allusion of the gentleman from North-Carolina.
Mr. Alston explained that he had not said or meant, that it would be seen from "what quarter of the Union" opposition came.
Mr. Mason could see no advantage in postponing a decision of the question, being himself ready to meet it at any moment.—The very proposition of the resolution would excite all the attention of the seaports and awaken all their anxiety. He thought it out of order now to discuss the merits of the question.
Mr. Troup said he felt himself bound at all times to treat with the greatest delicacy all motions and propositions of an ordinary nature. But there were times in which his feelings compelled him to depart from the ordinary rule. This was one. He had voted against the consideration of the resolution because he would reject with that indignity which it deserved, an abstract proposition at this time to remove the embargo, and because he thought a prompt rejection would mark to the foreign world the temper of the country. He suggested, since it was to be discussed, that the discussion should be postponed a while till time was given to digest the voluminous mass of documents laid before them. For in these documents were contained the best arguments in favor of the embargo.
Mr. Eppes was willing to vote in favor of commitment of the motion; but did not wish the delusion under which some portion of the people of the United States labored should longer continue. He wished them to understand what course would be pursued. If, said he, it be the opinion of the representatives of the nation that the embargo should be taken off and no other measure substituted the majority governs in a republic, and I should with every good citizen submit to its decision; but I should ever feel for the eternal disgrace of that nation of which I should then feel it a mis-
fortune to be a member. As it is my opinion that should the embargo be raised, other measures ought to be adopted, whether I meet with the support of the house or not, I will at least evince to the people whose representative I am, that I will not submit to British or French tyranny; but hand down to their posterity unimpaired that liberty which their forefathers so nobly achieved.
Mr. E. then proposed the following resolutions, as an amendment to Mr. Chittenden's motion:
Resolved , That from and after the day of next all intercourse between the United States and Great Britain, its islands and dependencies ought to cease and determine.
Resolved , That from and after the day of next all intercourse between the United States and France, its islands and dependencies ought to cease and determine.
Resolved , That provision ought to be made by law for arming and equipping for immediate service thousand militia in addition to the force already authorised by law."
The Speaker informed Mr. Eppes that these could not be received while another question was pending; and Mr. Eppes withdrew them for the present.
Messrs. Blackledge, Clopton and G. V. Campbell declared themselves positively opposed to the motion in its present abstract form.
We have not room to detail their observations. They were however of the same tenor as those of Messrs. Smilie, Troup, and Eppes.
Messrs. Cook and Cutts spoke in favor of an immediate consideration of the subject, from its importance to the mercantile interests.
The resolution was then made the order of the day for Monday next; a motion for postponement till Monday week having been negatived.
EXECUTIONS AND EVASIONS OF THE EMBARGO LAWS.
Mr. Elliot offered the following resolution:
Resolved , That the secretary of the treasury be directed to lay before the house of representatives copies of all instructions which have been transmitted by him to the collectors of the revenue and other officers of the U. States, in relation to the execution of the act laying an embargo upon all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, and the several acts supplementary and additional thereto.
On motion of Mr. D. R. Williams, the following amendment was added to the end of the resolution:
"Also as far as practicable, the names and places of residence of such persons as have been detected in violating the embargo laws."
After a short discussion which shall be noticed in the next National Intelligencer, the resolution was ordered to lie on the table till to-morrow.
NON-INTERCOURSE RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Eppes now moved the resolutions given above; which were referred to the committee to whom was referred Mr. Chittenden's resolution.
Legislature of Maryland.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
NOVEMBER 10.
Mr. John Hanson Thomas, of Frederick, moved the following resolutions, with some introductory remarks on the present crisis of public affairs, and the expediency of making an immediate and faithful declaration of the sentiments of the people of Maryland on a subject of the most pressing and extensive importance.
Whereas by a vote of the last general assembly of Maryland, purporting to express "the public will through the medium of the legislature," a resolution was adopted declaring that "the late act of congress imposing an embargo, was, in the opinion of the said general assembly, a measure strongly characteristic of the judgement and wisdom of our national councils, and well calculated to inspire confidence in the individuals of the nation they represent." And whereas "the public will" has been recently expressed by the public voice itself in the elections throughout the state for the popular branch of this legislature, so as to leave no doubt what are the real sentiments of the people of Maryland upon a subject deeply and solemnly interesting to the whole American union: And whereas to correct and counteract the impressions which may have resulted from the proceeding of the last session, touching a matter so immediately and extensively momentous, it has thus become an indispensable duty, which their constituents have a right to expect from the present general assembly to set forth an authentic and seri-

assertion of their feelings, that the same may be distinctly understood and duly appreciated; therefore  Resolved , That it is the conscientious belief and unbiased conviction of this general assembly, representing the interests of the independent freemen of Maryland, that the aforesaid act, passed at the last session of congress, imposing an embargo, and the several acts supplementary thereto, being unlimited in duration, and continued in force with a pernicious aspect, constitute a portentous system of unnecessary, impolitic and unprecedented restraint upon the foreign trade, and domestic intercourse of these U. States; that by this system the very existence of commercial enterprise is, for an indefinite period proscribed and split away, the freedom of navigation in our own vessels along our coasts, is vexed and disturbed, and the right of traffic between one state and another in some instances even between different parts of the same state, is hampered and controlled; that the privilege of a special lease, allowed in one of the supplements to the embargo law, without alleviating its general pressure, must be peculiarly liable to abuse as the instrument of an odious monopoly, and is therefore highly repugnant to the character and genius of "our republican institutions;" that the whole system, examined in its multiform provisions, is rigorous to an extent not even warranted by the reasons assigned for its recommendation; that the lapse of nearly a twelvemonth has proved, that it is inadequate and ineffectual towards attaining any of the avowed and ostensible objects for its continuance, and excites a fear, lest it should be considered as a virtual abandonment of our rights and our honor, and a confession of feebleness and impotence, reproachful and derogatory to the American name; that a woeful experience at home has evinced, in a manner too palpable to be concealed, its pernicious tendency in promoting jealousies and discontent, distrust, suspicion and alarm, and inducing a new and improper disposition among a portion of our citizens, by the temptations which it has created to evade & violate the sovereignty of the laws; that, while it thus tends to pervert the spirit and impair the energies of the nation, it must inevitably operate so as to weaken the system, if it should not embarrass the affairs of government, by a prodigal sacrifice of revenue, derived almost exclusively from imposts, which must lead to a direct waste of the public resources, or terminate in a heavy increase of the public burthens; that the effects of this grievance, if not equally oppressive to all, have yet been every where odious and deplorable to the agriculture and general interests of the state, and may daily be seen in the docks and harbors of our seaports, where the American flag floats in captivity and decay over an immense mass of shipping, deserted by an invaluable body of seamen, whom this unrelenting policy has driven from their element to earn a precarious livelihood on shore, or has exiled into foreign employ in quest of sustenance and support; that it has injured the faith of individual credit, frustrated the hopes of labor, disappointed business of its profits, depressed the pulse of industry, and continues to inflict loss and deprivation throughout the great body of the community; and that there is sad reason to apprehend that this evil, already so productive of mischief, unless it is timely arrested and removed, may eventuate in consequences the most awful, calamitous and irretrievable. Wherfore  Resolved , That the senators and representatives from this state in the congress of the U.S. be and they are hereby earnestly requested, to exert themselves with all convenient diligence in endeavors to procure a speedy relief from the operation of the aforesaid act, passed at the last session of congress imposing an embargo, and the several acts supplementary thereto.

The master, second mate, 4 seamen, the cooper and a boy, were detained on board the privateer (leaving in the brig the first mate and a boy) until the 28th Sept. when they arrived at St. Pierres, where they were imprisoned for 24 hours, and were afterwards released only to suffer the complicated misery of nakedness, poverty, hunger; and must have perished but for the benevolence of the Americans. Whilst on board the privateer they were exposed in an engagement with a Barbados packet, in which the privateer had 2 killed and 11 wounded. This is the same privateer that captured the Eliza Hamilton of New York, which was condemned at St. Martins. The George is condemned at Guadalupe.
