The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall , where he has opened a Hotel under the above style. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Benton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

MR. EPPES'S SPEECH, In the House of Representatives of the U. S. On the Resolution for raising, arming and equipping fifty thousand volunteers, to serve for two years. [Mr. Gardner, of New-York, had opposed the resolution in his usual violent manner at some length—after he sat down, Mr. Eppes, of Virginia, took the floor.] Mr. Eppes said there was no man who regretted more than himself that at a period when the safety, honor, and independence of this country were assailed by external danger; when under the pressure of a measure resorted to under circumstances of the most urgent necessity, the citizens of this country had manifested a feeling calculated to excite sensations here and elsewhere—that such a period should be seized by gentlemen, not to exert their talents in steering the national bark through the billows by which it is surrounded, but in endeavouring to thwart every measure proposed. The gentleman from New-York (said Mr. Eppes) has told us that he will sound the tocsin of alarm to the people. And what is the project of the gentleman himself? Why he has told you on a former day, openly, honestly and fairly, that he is for a war with France; he is willing to pocket all the injuries which we have received from Great Britain, and go to war with France. In vain would the gentleman sound the tocsin of alarm, if this is his project. The people of the United States would not go with him. It is not the sentiment of any portion of our citizens except the old tories of the revolution. He would not be followed by the American people in taking to his bosom a nation which has murdered their citizens, and making war upon a nation which has pillaged their commerce. I cannot reconcile the project with my ideas of moral principle. He would not be followed by the federalists—I cannot believe that those who walked in procession after the body of the murdered Pierce, could stamp upon themselves the character of base hypocrisy, by taking to their bosom the nation which has committed the outrage, while the blood of Pierce and the host of other injuries more degrading remain yet unatoned for. All our injuries remain unredressed; not the smallest apology has been made, but the feelings of the country not only disregarded, but insulted by new acts of violence and injustice. The gentleman's project to save the honour of the nation is submission to England and war with France. I pronounce with confidence it is not the sentiment of the American people. The gentleman from N. York has taken occasion to introduce the name of Washington. The sentiments which that gentleman has expressed were never those of Washington. He never would have been willing to put chains on his countrymen, to consent to a shackled commerce; to allow foreign nations to say to his country, thus far you shall go, and no farther. This is not the spirit of Washington. It is not the spirit which produced our revolution—opposition to tyranny and a manly assertion of our rights at every hazard, gave us our rank as an independent nation. The same spirit still pervades our country, and I trust will ever remain. It never, however, has been the policy of this government to rush rashly into war. The history of our country under former administrations demonstrates this fact—and under the administration of Washington, as well as under every other, we have borne with patience degrading insult and injury. As to the great regard of former administrations for the personal rights of the citizens, on which the gentleman has dwelt, I shall not go into that part of the subject. In laying an embargo, even in the time of Washington, a short resolution was passed in which the power was vested in the executive. This was thought at that time very constitutional and proper, no doubt by the federalists. We however can frame no constitutional law on this subject, although they could very constitutionally adopt the old maxim, I will it, and enforce their system. While, however, I am not disposed to excite unpleasant sensation, by bringing into view acts of former administrations, I believe that a statement of the course pursued under gen. Washington and Mr. Adams as to foreign nations, will show that it never has been our policy to rush rashly into war. I beg leave to read on this subject an extract from a speech delivered in 1803.
"Our differences with Great Britain were coeval with the treaty of peace. The detention of the western posts was a direct violation of that treaty—it diverted a considerable portion of the fur trade from the United States, and disabled us from bidding the hostile Indians which was a source of immense injury. This evil continued for twelve years, under every circumstance of aggravation and insult. British soldiers issued from those forts into parts of our territory, where we exercised jurisdiction, and seized the persons of deserters without the aid or sanction of the authorities of the country, and these possessions served as asylums for the savages who were in horrible array against us—and as store-houses and magazines to supply them with arms, ammunition, and provisions. The seat of government of Upper Canada was also held for a time at Niagara, in the state of New-York, an indignity of the most marked character—many thousands of negroes were also carried off in violation of the treaty, and a very serious injury was thereby inflicted on the agricultural pursuits of our southern citizens." "It is well known that we were engaged in a bloody and expensive war with several of the Indian tribes—that two of our armies had been routed by them, and that we were finally compelled to make great efforts to turn the tide of victory. These Indians were encouraged and aided by the emissaries of Great Britain—British subjects were seen disguised fighting in their ranks, and British agents were known to furnish them with provisions and the implements of war. The governor-general of Canada, a highly confidential and distinguished officer, delivered a speech to the seven nations of Lower Canada, exciting them to remain against this country; but in order to furnish the savages at war with sufficient aid, a detachment of British troops penetrated into our territory and erected a fort on the Miami River. Here the Indians, dispersed and defeated by Wayne, took refuge, and were protected under the muzzle of British cannon. A violation of territory is one of the most flagrant injuries which can be offered to a nation, and would in most cases justify an immediate resort to arms, because in most cases essential to self-defence. Not content with exciting the savages of America against us, Great Britain extended her hostility to the eastern hemisphere, and let loose the barbarians of Africa upon us. A war existed at that time between Portugal and Algiers. The former blocked up the mouth of the Straights, by her superior naval force, and prevented the pirates from a communication with the Atlantic. Portugal has been for a long time subservient to the views of Great Britain. A peace was effected through the mediation of the latter. Our unprotected merchantmen were then exposed, without defence, to the piracies of Algiers. Thus in three quarters of the globe we at one time felt the effects of British enmity. In the mean time our commerce in every sea was exposed to her rapacity. All France was declared in a state of siege, and the conveyance of provisions expressly interdicted to neutrals. Paper blockades were substituted for actual ones, and the staple commodities of our country lay perishing in our store-houses, or were captured on the ocean, and diverted from the lawful proprietors. Our seamen were pressed wherever found. Our protections were a subject of derision, and opposition to the imperious mandates of their haughty tyrants, was punished by famine or by stripes—by imprisonment or by the gibbet. To complete the full measure of our wrongs, the November orders of 1793 were issued; our ships were swept from the ocean, as if by the operation of enchantment—hundreds of them were captured—almost all our merchants were greatly injured, and many of them reduced to extreme poverty. These proceedings, without even a pretext, without the forms of justice, without the semblance of equity, were calculated to inflame every American feeling; and to nerve every American arm. Negotiation was however pursued, an envoy extraordinary, in every sense of the word, was sent to demand redress, and a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, was formed and ratified. These events took place under the administration of Washington. The Spanish treaty, concluded on the 27th of October, 1795, stipulated for a settlement of boundaries, and an adjustment of spoliations on commerce, and contained a declaration of the free navigation of the Mississippi, and a free grant of the privilege of deposit at New-Orleans. This treaty for more than two years afterwards, was not executed on the part of Spain. In January, 1798, a report was made to Mr. Adams, by Mr. secretary Pickering, and submitted to congress, which charged Spain with retaining her troops and garrisons within the United States, with evading to run the boundary line, with stopping, controlling, and regulating the passage of our citizens on the Mississippi, and with sending emissaries among the Indians residing within our territories, in violation of the treaty and the relations of amity. Here then, a treaty securing the important benefit of deposit, was in a state of in-execution for a long period. Our citizens were also interrupted in the free navigation of the Mississippi, and other aggressions, affecting our territorial rights, and our internal peace, were superadded."
"An amicable explanation was had with Spain, and our wrongs were satisfactorily redressed. This took place in the administration of Mr. Adams, and where most of the honourable gentlemen who support this war resolution, except such as were dangling in the courts of Europe, held prominent stations in the councils of the country." "Our differences with France were of a more serious nature, and of a longer duration. They commenced in the administration of Mr. Washington, and were adjusted in that of his successor. Great and enormous depredations were committed upon our commerce by France, and our merchants were fraudulently robbed of compensation for provisions supplied her in the hour of distress. The treaty and consular convention were violated. The right of embassy, a sacred right, respected even by the foreign savage, was wantonly trampled upon; and the representative of our national sovereignty was refused a reception, and ignominiously ordered out of France. A fresh attempt at negotiation was made—three ministers were sent, armed with all the powers, and clothed with all the honors of diplomacy. They were also refused a hearing, and were forced to leave the country without experiencing the forms of common civility. The treaty was then annulled, and reprisals directed; and when the honorable gentlemen and their friends then in power, had worked up the passions of the nation to the highest pitch of exasperation—when war, bloody war, was expected from all quarters—when the warm soldiers of the revolution were girdling on their swords, and preparing to stand between their country and the danger that menaced her, the scene suddenly changed; the black cloud passed away; and we again beheld three minis-

lers at Paris, extending the olive-branch, bury- ing all animosities, and returning with a treaty of "firm, inviolable, and universal peace, and true and sincere friendship."
I have read this statement, sir, (said Mr. Eppes) because it is the deliberate and grave statement of a man arrived at that period of life when he is not so much under the influence of passion. It is a statement of facts, which if made by myself, might be attributed to party feeling. It proves that it never has been the policy of this nation lightly to embark in war. And how- ever the gentleman from New-York and myself may differ in other respects, we unite in this: that no evil is so great as war, except a surren- der of our independence; nothing short of an attack on which should induce any nation to re- sort to this alternative, injurious to every nation, but particularly so to ours.
So far then, as we have progressed in our pre- sent situation, so far as the course pursued was calculated to preserve peace it was a course which justice and humanity dictated, and which has been approved by the nation. But is there never to be an end of the sufferance of a nation? Is there no time when we shall act? The idea of a permanent embargo—and when on this part of the subject I shall perhaps be told as another gentleman was yesterday that my observations resemble more the slang of an ale-house, than the debate of a deliberative body—this idea, I observe, is to be found only in the speeches of those who opposed the measure. Such an idea cannot be inferred from the conduct of members of this house, or from any thing else which has occurred. It proceeds only from men who from the first moment the measure was laid on your table, endeavoured to place it in the most odious colours. Immediately after the measure was adopted last winter—what takes place, sir? A man distinguished by the favour of the peo- ple, a man advanced in years, the very man who in '98, kept back the dispatches from Mr. Adams, and had almost plunged us into a war with France by this act. What does he do? In 1808, he displays the same spirit of hostility to France, which he manifested in '98; writes a letter in which he attributes the embargo to French in- fluence, to the mandates of Bonaparte. [Mr. Gardener requested the gentleman from Vir- ginia to name him.] Mr. Eppes. "General Pikering." [It appeared to be doubted whether Mr. Eppes was in order. Mr. Smilie said that if the gentleman from New-York was permitted to examine his own government, a reply ought certainly to be allowed.] Mr. Eppes continued. I wish it to be understood by the speaker and the house, that I hold myself responsible to any man who is injured by my ob- servations. No circumstance shall deter me from expressing the truth in relation to our af- fairs. It is time that the nation should see the strange union of sentiment between gentlemen in opposition and that government which has in- jured us most. I am responsible for my assertions: I have a right to discharge my duty in that way which I please, and in that way I will. I then say this letter proceeded from the man who in 1798, was willing, was anxious to involve the United States in a war with France. There was a party in this country in favour of it; and if cor- rectly informed, the man who wrote this famous letter is the head of that very party; a party connected and known under the name of the Essex Junto. This was the first stroke at the embargo; and what took place afterwards? I regret that a gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Livermore) is not in his place, whose speech, as delivered to his constituents, was sent here some weeks before our last adjourn- ment, said to have been delivered to the inhabi- tants of his district, in which he declared that some members of influence in the republi- can party here had openly declared to him their hostility to commerce! The gentleman has had the candor to declare that he did not make to his constituents such a statement; but, sir, it was circulated as his speech immediately pre- vious to the election, and although the gentle- man never made such a speech, many people in Massachusetts believe that he not only made the speech, but that it was a deliberate expression of his sentiments. These things justify the statement of the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Story) that misrepresentations have been spread among the people. The federal prin- ters have united in giving currency to these mis- representations. They have even made speeches for members of Congress; they have made them accuse the majority of Congress of being under French influence. A sentiment of this sort has been given in a speech of the gentleman from New-York, (Mr. Gardener) though it is denied.
[Mr. Gardener said he never had expressed such an opinion; the speech which he had been printed had not con- veyed that idea. He never intended to express such an idea; for however he dif- fered in opinion with gentlemen, he never had the slightest suspicion that gentlemen were governed by dishonest motives. He should hold up their course as pernicious to the nation, and never would cease to do so, thus performing a constitutional right, and a duty from which he would never shrunk.]
It never has been my habit (continued Mr. Eppes) to attribute to gentlemen im- proper motives; I never have done so; but the course which has been pursued will give weight to the opinion already enter- tained in G. Britain that we are a divided people—That we are divided in opinion on what the gentleman from New-York himself has called a self-evident propo- sition—that the belligerent decrees cannot be submitted to without a surrender of our rights, independence and honor. Are we to be surprised that the people of Massa- chusetts or of any other part of the Uni- ted States are agitated when they find men so enlightened as their representatives in Congress telling them that this is to be a permanent system? Do gentlemen real- ly believe that it is our intention to abide by the embargo until our injuries are re- dressed, be that soon or late? Do they believe that the embargo is all that is to be opposed to insult, injury and blows? Do they believe that we are destitute of sense? I for one unequivocally deny that Lever had such an idea, or any per- son with whom I ever conversed on the subject, except the gentlemen who oppo- sed it, to whom it was convenient to re- present it as a permanent measure. And whatever gentlemen may say on other sub- jects, they will do me the justice to say that at the last session I told them my opin- ion that the period would arrive when the embargo would be removed; and that when it was, there was no other course than war, open and direct, or submission. I defy gentlemen any where to find the embargo considered as a permanent mea-
sure, but in their own speeches and the prints of their party.
The circumstances which produced the embargo are well known; but the misfor- tune is that gentlemen will not state the question fairly, but cover it under a heap of lumber, calculated to conceal from the people the real question. Let the ques- tion be fairly put, and there is not a man in America (always excepting old Tories) who would not say that they will resist.— What is the real state of our affairs—and I will not stop here to discuss who began first. If we mean to assert & maintain our rights, it is totally immaterial to us who commenced, though on this subject I might refer gentlemen to the letter of Mr. Ham- mond in 1793, in which he takes the ground now maintained, and affects the right of G. Britain to blockade the whole of France. The statement of our situa- tion is simply this—G. Britain says if you go to France or her dependencies without a licence from her, your property shall be liable to seizure and condemnation.— France says if you have visited Britain or been visited by a Briton, your vessel shall be liable to seizure and confiscation.— Now take the dependencies and allies of France and England, and what remains? Your commerce is as completely blocka- ded by these decrees as the port of Boston was in the revolutionary war—and when gentlemen come forward and tell you that your ships are rotting in your ports, and your country suffering, and attribute this to the embargo, is it manly? Is it manly? Is it not an assertion, materially variant from our present situation? I call upon any man, federalist, quid, or of what de- nomination he may be, to answer whether these decrees have not destroyed our com- merce; and yet the destruction is imputed to the embargo. At the time the embargo was laid, our exports amounted to one hundred and eight millions annually. Ta- king all the countries with whom we could trade, throwing G. Britain out of the question, with whom I contend that no man can be willing to trade, under exist- ing circumstances, and our whole com- merce does not amount to seven millions and a half—a commerce not equal to one half of the exports from Massachusetts alone; and give Massachusetts her relative share of one fifth of this seven mil- lions of commerce, and this is all she can have to support her seamen, to enrich her merchants whom the embargo is said to have destroyed. This is the real situation of the country. Do the people of the eastern portion of it know it? No, sir, it is kept from them; they cannot find it in the speeches of their representatives.— No, sir; there it is all embargo, the favo- rite hobby-horse of federalism.
Having thus attempted to show that it was not my intention when the embargo was laid to consider it as a permanent mea- sure, I will proceed to state some circum- stances which have rendered this measure less operative than it otherwise would have been. The embargo had two objects, to gather in our capital, to withhold sup- plies from our enemies. The first object has been completely answered, and there is not a period at which it would be more necessary to adhere to it than at the pre- sent moment. To withhold supplies from our enemies is now more important than ever. The nation must be put in a state to meet war.
It is in vain for gentlemen to attempt to delude the people. The decrees of Eng- land and France must be withdrawn, or we must fight; it cannot be avoided. We have declared we will not submit, and there is no species of effectual resistance but war.
We have a right to carry our produce to every place on the globe whose muni- cipal regulations do not forbid it. France has a right to interdict our trade with her- self, but none to interdict it with her ene- my. G. Britain has a right to exclude us from her ports, but none to compel us to go there. What other course I ask can the U. S. take but war, or submission to these decrees? Let gentlemen examine the various proposals brought forward. It is immaterial whether we pass a law that we will reduce our trade to the places left by the decrees, or suffer it to be so reduced by the decrees themselves. In either case we submit—we allow foreign nations to fix the amount of our com- merce—to destroy the fruits of our in- dustry and legislate for us.
In the course of my remarks I have no-
ticed the strange union of sentiment be- tween gentlemen in the opposition and the British ministry on the subject of the em- bargo.
On this subject I will read an extract of a ministerial pamphlet— "Providence has ordained, that nations as well as individuals, should, in a certain degree be dependent on each other; and the inhabitants of no country can be de- barred from their accustomed commercial communications, without being deprived of many advantages and enjoyments.— Society being thus constituted, the gov- ernment that attacks the comfort and hap- piness of the people, by prohibiting this intercourse, alienates their affections, and consequently holds its authority by a very precarious tenure. When the late em- peror Paul entered into the confederacy against G. Britain, his subjects were at once reduced to severe and general distress.— Their hemp, their flax, their tallow, their ashes, their iron, their timber, all their great staple commodities, for the sale of which they depend on British purchasers, were left a dead weight upon their hands. If the produce of the land becomes of no value, the landlord may apply to his ten- ant for rent in vain. If the vassal can procure no employment, he can pay noth- ing to his lord. Thus the nobles whose revenue is derived from the rent of their estates, and the labor of their vassals, found themselves involved in the calamity of their inferiors; and were led by com- mon interest, to attempt that revolution, which cost the emperor his crown and his life.
"If any further elucidation of the principle to which this event is ascribed were wanting, it promises to be found in the U. S. of America; where the culti- vators of the soil are deprived of the fruits of their labors and the merchants of their commercial gains, by the present embargo. This forced state of things, cannot be of long continuance. Already have the Vermontese left the constituted author- ities at defiance, and persist in carrying on their trade with the Canadians, across Lake Champlain, while the northern states man- ifest strong symptoms of discontent."
Perhaps I ought to apologize to the Rep- resentatives from the state of Vermont for reading a clause speaking particularly of that state, but I assure the gentlemen that it is not my wish to bring the attention of the House to circumstances which have passed there. I view them with deep regret with which I shall ever view a sim- ilar state of things in any portion of the country. I regret that any portion of the people of this country, however they may feel, should not manifest their feeling in that form prescribed by the constitution and the laws. We are told by this pam- phlet of true British origin, that the Uni- ted States cannot stand this measure—and what are we told on this floor? "You can- not stand it; you are committing suicide on yourselves." All this goes to Great Britain, what I say never will reach it.— All there seen of it will be a garbled ac- count in a federal paper which I could lo- ver with my thumb, and that will be sent to Great Britain. Through this corrupt- ed source their information is derived, and they know nothing of the real situation of American feeling or of the American char- acter. And is the government to blame when I declare to God that I have seen speeches attributed to me which I have never made—the most shameful misre- presentation made by men brought here not for the purpose of reporting our pro- ceedings to the nation but for supporting par- ty purposes. Gentlemen tell us we can- not stand a permanent embargo. We never intended it. Gentlemen well know that the rights of the nation cannot be aban- doned without a struggle. The only ques- tion is when to commence it. Our resour- ces will soon be at our command. Means of resistance are provided, and the period must soon arrive when nothing will be want- ing but spirit on the part of the represen- tatives to use them. The people are with you—you have their support. Nothing can forfeit it but abandoning their rights. If by war only they can be maintained, the people will meet it with firmness. I never had any other feelings, but that these de- crees must be withdrawn, or we must resort to war. I said so last year—I spoke it openly—My sentiments are known to the people I represent. They unite in that sentiment. It is the undivided sentiment of the state in which I live.
It has been said that the southern peo- ple wish to destroy commerce. I will ask gentlemen what but commerce has produced our present difficulties? If I had con- sulted my interest only, of what impor- tance to me was the carrying trade? None sir, but it was, it ever will be, of infinite importance to me to support the princi- ples of our constitution. What are these principles? Equal and exact justice to every class of our citizens. United for common protection and for the general safety, the rights of no one class can be abandoned. The merchant has as good a right to protection in the use of his ship as the farmer in the use of his plough. I said so in 1805, and I say so still. Our situation, however, is now changed; it is no longer a commercial question; the late decrees and orders make a direct attack on the sovereignty of the nation; it is no longer a question whether we will trade but whether we will maintain or surrender our independence. The embargo at the time it was adopted, was, I believe the best measure which could have been resorted to. Its operation was defeated partly by the misrepresentations of which I have spoken. While on this subject I will ask at-
tention to another point, which I had nearly omitted. I have said something about Tories. I wish it to be understood, that I mean no gentleman in this House. I mean to state that tory principle had manifested itself in a portion of this coun- try, and that it was that principle, in union with the agents and acts of the British government, which produced the evasions of our law. Your towns swarm with these British agents, who send to their friends, what is essential to their prosperity, in violation of your law. Nay, sir, tory- ism in this country has in one case assum- ed a sort of official form. I refer to the proceedings of the Essex Junto. I hold them in my hand, and I will read a reso- lution from them.
These patriots say— "As to the orders of council. It will be recollected that these orders, bearing date 11th November 1807, were occa- sioned by the decree of the French Em- peror, dated Nov. 1806, declaring all the British dominions in a state of blockade. G. Britain may think these orders com- pletely justified by the Lex Talionis (law of retaliation.) There is no reason to consider them as originating from a disposi- tion hostile to the country, and they ought not to be so considered: it is, notorious that she could, according to known law and usage, plead the actual blockade, by her navy, of all the principal ports under the power of France."
Now, sir, this I say is a rank tory prin- ciple; and it is immaterial what may be the professions of men. The man who can say in the present situation of our country, that the conduct of Great Britain towards us is justified by the Lex Talionis , or by any other law, is a tory. It is in vain for the people in any portion of the union to make professions of patriotism, when they come forward and by a public act say, that we have no cause of com- plaint against Great Britain. I wish gen- tlemen correctly to understand me. If the British nation would come forward and make reparation for the insults offered in our ports and waters, she will stand with me on equal ground with France. But when I recollected that instead of tendering reparation for the most humiliating in- sults and injuries, she sent here a legal- ized spy to insult us with insolent demands, I cannot consider in point of injury done to this country, these foreign nations as equal in the honorable career of injustice and violence toward us. Let Great Britain redress these injuries, and I would as soon tender the hand of reconciliation to her as to France.
I believe the principles of both are in- famous. That in a contest for the empire of the world they regard only their own aggrandizement. It is the duty of the United States to take a firm and manly attitude, and oppose both; to maintain the independence of the nation and spurn a foreign yoke. You must assert your rights; they cannot be maintained with- out men. The independence of our coun- try is an object before which all differen- ces as to the internal administration of our affairs should sink. This is a period when all honest men have a common interest. It is a period when all party feelings should be sacrificed at the shrine of our country's good. It is a period when federalists ought to forget that they have lost the helm of state, when the old Tories, dispersed through our country, should forget that we have acquired independence, and when all honest men should unite to maintain those rights, which are the birth right of an American.
Tuesday, January 17. MR. CANNING'S LETTER.
The message of the President, having been read.
Mr. Burwell moved that 5000 copies of the message and documents be printed. He said, whilst up, he could not refrain from expressing his regret that the Exec- utives had not taken a different course to counteract the effect of Mr. Canning's letter, than the one which he had chosen.— It was impossible that any new evidence should now be wanting, to prove that our government had acted with justice and moderation. But it is so perfectly plain (said he) that we are waging a war of hon- or and candor against treachery and in- trigue, that it is surprising that a flop has not been put to it. Why is it that our presles are teeming with treachery? A reg- ular system is going on to overthrow the government. How is it that men high in the government say, that no formal offer was made to Great Britain to repeal our embargo on the revocation of her orders in council, when there are documents be- fore us, proving directly the contrary? Yet sir, it was asserted by men high in office in this country, that our minister had acted only in his individual capacity, long before this British minister's letter was published. But what does this ling- ular letter amount to? Mr. Canning wishes to prove that the offer to repeal the em- bargo was made in an unofficial manner, when there is a formal letter from himself in answer to the official note of Mr. Pinkney, making the proposition as from his government. Why did not Mr. Canning meet him? This letter of his is but a con- tinuation of that infamous system of mis- leading the people of this country, so long persisted in. Recollect the speech of Mr. Canning on the floor of parliament on the 24th day of June last. Sir, I am sorry to mention this subject here, but when I see the rights of my country insulted, and public sensibility worked upon as it has been, I cannot restrain my feelings. It is time to put a stop to this underhanded sys-
tem. Can it be forgotten what were the sentiments of the people of America, when the famous Genet commenced his appeal from the President, who properly put a stop to it? Why does Canning contend that the orders in council were not known to us at the time that the embargo was laid? It is to meet the feelings of the country, and to support views taken in this nation. I hope that 5000 copies will be printed, and that this is the last time we shall be under the necessity of counteracting these insidious appeals to the people.
Mr. Nicholas observed, that the letters which had just been read furnished another evidence of the fidelity and ability of the public servants; and another signal to warn the people of this country of the danger which hangs over them, to show that the British government is in a course of intrigue for the purpose of separating the people from their government. I want no other evidence of this (said he) then the letter of Mr. Canning, which has just been read. How did that letter get into the papers of the U. S. It must have been sent here by the British government for what purpose? It is an appeal by the government of Great Britain to the people of America. On what ground is this ap- peal made? On the ground of justice, of truth or of sincerity? Neither, sir; it is for the purpose of deceiving the people of this country with the most ungentlemanly, and unmanly representations. God for- bid, that I should believe that Great Bri- tain, has many adherents in this country; but that she has some, this business is to my mind full demonstration. How is this production received? How is it ushered into the public view? Have the printers who first gave it publicity shown even a common impartiality between their own government, and that of a foreign nation? Have they shown a desire to hear what their government could say before they passed sentence of condemnation upon it? No, sir; they have taken the letter at first blush as complete evidence of the crim- inality of their own government. Can these men be Americans? No, sir, they are British partisans, fighting the cause of the British government against their own. Mr. N. said, he had before him a paper called the Boston Centinel, contain- ing some comments on Mr. Canning's letter. [Mr. Nicholas here quoted some passages from these comments, stating this letter of Mr. C's, to be evidence of a par- tiality in the government of the U. S. to France, &c. &c.] This is an American print (said Mr. N.) and this letter is ex- tremely given to the American people, as tending to show that their government has practised a deception upon them!
Mr. Troup said, he believed that the publication of this letter was intended by the British government to influence the people; and in order that the whole truth might be widely disseminated, he moved that 10 000 copies be printed.
Mr. Gardener concurred most heartily in the motion for printing, and also in the proportion for the largest number of co- pies. Assuredly if there was a matter up- on which it was important, that the people of the U. S. should be correctly informed, it was the subject which the message of this morning placed before the house. I for one (said he) cannot help regretting deeply, that the public confidence in the administration of the government should have been so shaken, by some cause or other, as that gentlemen of the first res- pectability and no common influence in this House, should be driven to the neces- sity of combatting on this floor the en- tilions of the editor of a newspaper. Are these publications of newspapers the top- ics fit for discussion in the House of Rep- resentatives of the U. States? Is it come to this, sir, that a Representative of the people, to protect his government from public odium, thinks it necessary to array the Representatives of the nation, against the humble editors of a newspaper? I feel humiliated that the affairs of this country should be brought into such a con- dition, that it should be necessary that the editor of a newspaper, for the first time, should be refuted by a member of this house in his place. I had thought that these ebullitions passed by the govern- ment, as an idle wind which it heeded not. But if the government is brought, either by its own weakness or the machinations of a foreign nation, to such a situation that it cannot stand a paragraph in a newspaper, it is brought to a low pass indeed. But the remarks of this editor have been intro- duced into the house. I do not wish at this time to go over the ground and admit or deny, the proposition which he conceives he has established. But I regret that this humble editor should have been made the subject of such severe remark, not only because I wish that he should have been unnoticed in this house, but because I con- fess that in the material matter of fact, I can see nothing of harm which this poor Editor has done. He has printed the let- ter of Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney; and it appears that he has published a docu- ment which the administration had not thought proper to communicate, but which was genuine and true. From these facts, now established beyond all controversy, this editor has undertaken, for the amuse- ment and instruction of his readers, to make certain comments which appear to his mind proper. If the fact be as the editor has stated it, his comments are of no importance, especially at this moment, when newspapers on both sides have given themselves up to such misrepresentations. Whether his inferences be correctly drawn or not is matter for the people to decide. Those remarks are but reflections upon a

LATER ACCOUNTS.
The favourite cutter has arrived at Plymouth, from the coast of Spain. The Bonne Citoyenne, Capt. Thompson, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth. Capt. Thompson has since reached town. He left Corunna on the 26th ult. and brings despatches from Gen. Blake's army...
The news from Oporto is unfavourable. The party there in opposition to the Regency is very strong, and Gen. Beresford had mediated in vain. The French are at Valladolid.
The fighting on both sides was most obstinate and desperate. The marquis of Romana's cavalry was preserved. In the last attack Blake repulsed the French with considerable loss.
The cause of the Spaniards is not considered a hopeless one; but the spirit of patriotism has dropped very much. In the Bonne Citoyenne came passengers Capt. Gage, of the royal artillery, with despatches from Sir Robert Wilson, at Oporto.
In addition to the above, we have to state, that this day an officer from Oporto arrived in Downing Street, with despatches. He came over in the Bonne Citoyenne. He touched at Corunna on his passage home, and failed again from that on the morning of the 26th ult.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD. STRAYED away from the subscriber on the fifth of November last one sorrel mare, seven years old this spring, a few white hairs on her forehead, also a small lump on her near jaw...
most obstinately contested, but at length the French were defeated with very great loss, and the Spanish army were, in consequence of this success, about to advance. The above is the substance of the intelligence communicated by captain Hawkins of the Minerva.
The following interesting private communication has been transmitted to us: Corunna, Nov. 26. All the intelligence which has lately reached us is contradictory and inconsistent; hopes & fears alternately have their dominion.
This letter is sent off with great despatch and is consequently brief in observation. Yesterday arrived here 2 Spanish frigates from St. Andero, and previously some English vessels from the same port. Accounts they bring are not distinct.
Letters from Castile mention, that Castanos has defeated a body of the French; but this report still rests on light authority, and is too long unconfirmed to claim much credit.
The last letters from Madrid are not in the expression of alarm. The Spanish troops have been successful almost everywhere, but in Biscay and Galicia; and a great part of the army of Estremadura, which it was considered had been destroyed at Burgos, has escaped, though in a debilitated state, to Segovia.
The enemy's excursions in Castile have been rapid, but of short duration. At Palencia, however, and Valladolid, they accomplished the release of a number of French prisoners and some suspected persons.
The public feeling is, on the whole, in a better state than it was ten days back. Human nature must lament the sufferings and endurance of the brave Patriots; but the recollection is unaccompanied by any dismay, as to the result of their exertions.
At a late hour last night a messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, with despatches from the French minister for Foreign affairs. He was the bearer of the answer to the dispatches of our Ministry, in reply to the delusive overture of Bonaparte, and which was lately sent to Paris in the care of Mr. Shaw.

Notice. AFTER about three years' anxious pursuit and meditation, I have at length made a complete discovery of the Perpetual Motion in Theory, and have reduced it to practice. I will only observe that it moves by its own weight; that is to say, the more you load a waggon, the more the power is increased so as to move the waggon and its burthen. I expect to write a short treatise on the subject, which will more fully explain this most grand and important discovery. I am anxious that it should be put in practice as soon as possible, so that the public may receive the benefits resulting from this noble principle, so long wished for by them. Henry Fenk.
