Extract of a letter from Washington dated,
MONDAY MORNING, Feb. 22.
The speech of Mr. Gardenier on the state of the union, delivered on Saturday, which will, I presume, be reported for your Gazette, ought to be read by every man, woman and child, in the United States. It is one of the most important speeches ever delivered in the house of representatives, because it relates to the most important of all subjects, and contains awful and solemn truths, in which every individual in the United States is deeply concerned—truths, which every one would not have the intrepidity to declare in the face of the nation. Let then every man read this speech, read it and repeat it, till he can recite the whole, and till he perceives and realizes the truth and force of every sentence and every word. This speech in a short compass presents a picture of the administration, of congress and of the nation.
MONDAY EVENING.
To-day Messrs. Newton and G. W. Campbell replied to Mr. Gardenier's speech of Saturday, and attempted to vindicate the embargo. They, however, offered nothing new; but only repeated, in worse language, the arguments which have been long since urged in the National Intelligencer, and reprinted in all the papers of every party throughout the country.—Those who have attentively read those pieces, will have no curiosity to read the same arguments again. If the farmer wants an argument on the subject of the embargo, let him look at his produce, let him look at the markets, let him reflect on the motives, which are offered to encourage him, the coming spring, in recommencing his agricultural labours. The merchant has not only heard, but he has felt arguments enough on this subject.
The democratic leaders were yesterday (Sunday) busy in sounding the members of the house of representatives to know whether they could be brought to vote for the expulsion of a gentleman who had honestly delivered his sentiments on the proceedings of congress and the state of the country. They found to their surprise that a sufficient number could not be dragged into the measure. They of course were obliged, though very reluctantly, to relinquish their design. They would be very glad to get rid of a man whose logic they cannot answer, whose wit they dread, and whose eloquence astonishes their puny souls. But the truth is that a considerable number of the democratic members not only admire the genius and talents of Mr. Gardenier, but they were very highly delighted with his attack on the embargo and his correct portrait of the national councils.
MR. GARDENIER'S Speech on the bill "in addition to the act, entitled an act supplementary to the act entitled, an act for laying the Embargo, &c. &c. &c."
I SHALL vote in favor of the motion to commit; but not for precisely the same reasons, which have been urged; but, as I apprehend for reasons more powerful. It has struck me sir, that the more we legislate on this subject, the worse we legislate—the more we legislate, the more we legislate to the destruction of our country. Why we passed the embargo law itself, I have been always unable to tell. Why we have passed subsequent laws for the purpose of rendering the original evil more perfect and more universal, God only knows. It does appear to me sir, that we are led on, step by step, but by an unseen hand. We are urged forward by a sort of spell, to the ruin of our country. Under the name of an embargo we are in truth and in fact passing non-intercourse laws. Under the beguiling form of a bill, supplemental to the embargo law, a law which prohibited the departure of vessels from your ports and harbors, you are about to prohibit all intercourse by land with any of the circumjacent territories of foreign nations. Between the original measure and this, there is no connexion: the principle of the one
is totally different from the other. Nay sir, this bill is totally at variance with the president's embargo message.—(Mr. Gardenier here read the following extract from the president's message of Dec. 21, 1807.)
"The communications now made, showing the great and increasing dangers with which our vessels, our seamen and merchandise are threatened on the high seas, and elsewhere, from the belligerent powers of Europe, and it being of the greatest importance to keep in safety these essential resources, I deem it my duty to recommend the subject to the consideration of congress, who will doubtless perceive all the advantage which may be expected from an inhibition of the departure of our vessels from the ports of the United States."
To prevent our ships and vessels from leaving their ports, for the purpose of preserving them, as resources to meet a state of war, if that should ultimately come, was all the president professed to have in view, all that he wished to do, at least at that time. I state it to the everlasting honour of the minority on that occasion and as long as I live I shall be proud of the share I had in that honour, that to resist even that law, we sat day after day and night after night. I cannot, therefore, possessing now the same opinion which governed me then, opposed as I still am to the existence of the embargo act, I cannot consent to go on, for the purpose of extending the operation of the evil more widely—for the purpose of making that worse which is already too bad. But this is different from our embargo law. It is a non-intercourse bill. The more the original measure develops itself, the more I am satisfied that my first view of it was correct; that it was a sly, cunning measure. That its real object was not merely to prevent our vessels from going out—but to effect a non-intercourse. Are the nation prepared for this?—If you wish to try whether they are, tell them at once what is your object—tell them what you mean—tell them you mean to take part with the grand pacificator, or else stop your present course. Do not go on forging chains to fasten us to the car of the Imperial Conqueror.—[Here Mr. Smilie, Mr. G. W. Campbell, Mr. Montgomery, and several others rose together, some calling to order, and others very spitefully hoping the gentleman might proceed.]
The Speaker hoped the gentleman would keep within the rules of propriety.
Mr. Gardenier hoped the Speaker would keep order in the house [three gentlemen were still standing] for (said Mr. G.) it is impossible for me, sir, to speak and keep order in the house at the same time. [The confusion having ceased, Mr. Gardenier proceeded.] If the gentlemen have composed themselves and are in a condition to hear, I will proceed. I wish first, however, to put them at ease on one point. They are not of sufficient importance to have been the objects at whom I would level any thing. I assure the gentlemen I did not mean them.
This sir, whatever name or complexion it may bear is in fact, a non-intercourse bill.—The measure it proposes can be of no possible benefit to us—It has nothing in it to render palatable the distress it must bring on a very considerable portion of our citizens. I object particularly against the fourth section. It forbids the exportation of our produce by land; in which mode there is no danger of capture. When we passed the embargo act, it was not done with a view to stop trade, but was professed to be done with a view to keep safe our resources. The stopping of trade by water was not the object, however it may have been the inevitable consequence of the embargo. It was an evil necessarily resulting from it. The majority were willing to endure this evil in consideration of the eventual good which would result from keeping (as the President expresses it) in safety our essential resources. But as one mad measure usually begets more, so, in the present instance, it has happened, that the original object of the embargo, ruinous as it was, is abandoned, and gentlemen seemed to vie with each other in their endeavours to render our situation in every respect intolerable. I ask

the intelligent and candid men of this house, whether to prevent the farmers of Vermont from selling their pigs in Canada is calculated to increase or diminish their essential resources? Whether the object which the president professed to have in view is counteracted by a traffick of this kind?—No sir. It is not only in direct hostility to the interests of the country, but what some gentlemen, will probably regard quite as much, to the wishes of the president. I repeat it; the objects of the bill, particularly of the fourth section, and of the embargo are totally distinct.
Instead of measures of this description: instead of fettering commerce; instead of putting their ingenuity to the rack, in devising means to paralyze completely all the commercial activity of the country, I should have been happy to have perceived in the gentlemen who manage matters in this house; I should have been glad to have perceived, in the administration, a disposition to encourage as much commercial activity as could be possibly consistent with the professed object of the president: the safe keeping of our resources. I should have been happy to have found them content with the ruin and distress their darling project had already produced, without aiming at the utter, the total stagnation of all the commercial powers of the political body. But unhappily, instead of ameliorating, we go on to make worse and worse the condition of our devoted country. Suppose Vermont should send some of her produce to Canada: or Georgia to the Floridas: in what are the interests of the rest of the union to suffer by it? Or are we to go on passing these laws, zealous in our exertions to make bad worse, upon the principle, which some gentlemen in this house have very gravely advanced, that we ought to make the public suffering as equal (in other words) as universal as possible—to extend it to every nook and corner of the union; that no portion, no section however remote, however secluded, should escape from taking its due proportion of the bitter draught; none, which the fatal gangrene should not reach? If we are running mad, sir, we have at least this consolation: we have "method" in our madness."
It is strange, it astonishes me, that by an embargo, we should be led to the measures contemplated in this bill. Because you wish to preserve your vessels and seamen, those essential resources in your seaports, you are therefore to prohibit all trafficking across your territorial lines, though it is evident that by permitting it, your citizens, of course your country, will be benefited. Sir, I cannot express my amazement at the dreadful infatuation which pervades the public councils. I conjure the members of this assembly to cease for a moment their exertions—I conjure them to sheathe the destroying sword; in the name of our suffering country I entreat them to save it from these new and accumulating evils. The great object of your president is secured.—Leave a little to your distressed people. Do not, I implore you, permit yourselves to be persuaded, that the public interest cannot be subserved, unless every body is destroyed.
I doubt whether experience has proved that the original law was for the public interest. Hitherto our ships might have navigated the ocean in safety. But at any rate is it wise to hazard every thing upon the experiment? for at best it is but an experiment. If it shall be proved ultimately to have been a good measure, it will also prove to have been strong enough to produce good enough to satisfy every rational theorist. If a bad one, it will have produced calamity enough, full as much as our country can stagger under.
I have in view no object but my country's good—and when I see it threatened on every side, it is my duty to speak out boldly and earnestly to this house and to this nation. And I will again entreat gentlemen to reflect whether the continual extension of the non-intercourse system, is calculated to make us better prepared to engage in a war either with France or G. Britain? For upon that ground was the original measure of the embargo demanded by the president; upon that ground only could it be even plausibly defended. Sir, it is high time to stop. We have done enough.
If it is wise to contrive that every part of the country should suffer; if this strange notion be indeed good policy, I could wish gentlemen would, instead of bolting at me in the fulness of their rage, endeavour to satisfy my poor understanding by cool reasoning that they are right. That they would show me how this measure will prepare us for war—how the
weakening by distressing every part of the country, is to increase its strength and its vigour.—No. I cannot be deceived in the view I have taken of this measure—and I will not cease to protest against it with all the energies with which I am possessed.
I am grieved to see that we are perpetually engaged in making additions and supplements to the embargo law. Whoever we can spy a hole, if it be no bigger than a wheat straw, at which the industry and enterprise of our country can find vent, all our powers are called into requisition to stop it up. The people of this country shall sell nothing but what they sell to each other. All our surplus produce shall rot on our hands. God knows what all this means! I sir, cannot understand it. I am astonished—indeed I am astonished and dismayed. I see effects; but I can trace them to no cause. Yes sir, I do fear that there is an unseen hand, which is guiding us to the most dreadful destinies—Unseen because it cannot endure the light. Darkness and mystery overshadow this house and this whole nation. We know nothing—we are permitted to know nothing. We sit here as mere automata; we legislate without knowing, nar, sir, without wishing to know, why or wherefore. We are told what we are to do and the Council of Five Hundred do it. We move, but why or wherefore, no man knows; we are put in motion, but how, I for one cannot tell.
Sir! the gentlemen of this house with whom I have the honour to act, and a distinguished honour I consider it, are disposed to do all that men can do for their country. But we wish to know what we are doing—the tendency of the measures we are called upon to adopt. If the motives and the principles of the administration are honest and patriotic, we would support them with a fervour which none could surpass. But sir, we are kept in total darkness. We are treated as the enemies of our country. We are permitted to know nothing, and execrated because we do not approve of measures, the origin and tendency of which are carefully concealed from us! We are denounced because we have no confidence in the executive, at the moment the executive refuses to discover to us—even this house—nay sir, this nation, its actual condition. Like the Israelites in Egypt, we are to make brick and find our own straw. We are to have faith and find out our own reasons for it. This course will do in this country no longer. [The speaker called Mr. G. to order. W. Alston wished the gentleman might be permitted to proceed]—Mr. Gardener. I do not desire permission of that gentleman. I shall permit myself to proceed. I have wandered, sir, through a wide field, I confess. I return to this bill. I wish to soften its asperities—to make its operation more mild. Particularly to have the fourth section expunged. I will, therefore, vote for its commitment.
FEBRUARY 22.
The house then proceeded to consider the motion made on Saturday by Mr. D. R. Williams, to re-commit the bill in addition to the act supplementary to the act laying an embargo.
(FOREIGN INFLUENCE)
Mr. Johnson rose to reply to the observations of Mr. Gardener on Saturday, respecting the embargo. He declared himself a friend to freedom of debate, but said that the charges made against the house ought not to be excused. It had been said (he observed) that this house was guided by an invisible hand: that like the council of five hundred, they waited for the word of command and obeyed it; that they were under foreign influence; that they were riveting the chains which were to bind us under the dominion of the French Emperor; and that they were automata. Mr. J. considered such assertion as a base slander. He said this upon the most mature consideration, and should not retract it; and if the feelings of any gentleman were wounded by this declaration, he should not consider himself guarded by his privileges or by the canopy which covered him.
Mr. Rhea spoke also at length in reply to Mr. Gardener; but his observations could not be distinctly heard.
Mr. Newton spoke in justification of the embargo measure, declaring it the wisest measure which could have been adopted.
The speaker observed, that the subject before the house was a motion to re-commit the bill.
Mr. G. W. Campbell said that if the charge made against the government, of being under foreign influence, was true,
it ought to be proved and made public, in order that a change might take place in the public councils; and if false, the author of it ought to be consigned to that disgrace and infamy which he deserved. The accuser or accused must be guilty; there was no medium in the case; and the nation ought to know the truth. He asserted that the charge was an INFAMOUS FALSEHOOD. Mr. C. dwelt at considerable length on the embargo measure, which he highly approved.
Mr. Bibb said that although he had voted against the embargo, he disclaimed the charge of French influence.
Mr. Montgomery said that the house had adjourned on Saturday in order to give the gentleman from New-York time to substantiate his charge. His failing to do it, was a proof of its falsehood. Another method of proceeding* had at first suggested itself to him; but when he considered the futility of the charge, and the source from which it proceeded, he thought the best course for the house to pursue, would be to treat it with scornful contempt.
The question was then taken on re-committing the bill to the committee of commerce and manufactures, and it was agreed to.
* This was probably, a resolution to expel Mr. Gardener.
LONDON, JANUARY 12.
The prevailing opinion among the American merchants is, that the government of the U. States, as soon as the orders in council reach that country will prohibit all intercourse with England. The American minister, it is said, does not hesitate to give it as his opinion, that a war between the two countries cannot be avoided, if these are not revoked. Now as we have the official authority of one of his majesty's ministers, the chancellor of the exchequer, that all the provisions of these orders will be strictly and literally enforced, we must lay our account to a rupture with America. We have as yet no intelligence from that country of the actual receipt of the orders in council.
In the course of the last interview which the American merchants had with Lord Bathurst, one of the deputation took occasion to express a hope that the mission of Mr. Rose would tend to remove the differences subsisting between the two countries, and to produce some modification of the orders of council. But in this hope the noble lord did not allow the deputation long to remain, for he immediately observed, that Mr. Rose's mission related solely to the case of the Chesapeake, and that he had no authority to make any proposition, or to enter into any discussion with regard to the orders of council.
BALTIMORE, March 7.
Moreau.—I am correctly informed, that the British government has intercepted dispatches from this suspicious person, addressed to Talleyrand. Expecting to procure a statement of their contents, which may have the chance of being more correct, than my memory will from hearing them stated, I omit for the present giving their purport. Any correspondence, however, by this exile, upon the subject of the United States, with the French minister of Foreign affairs changes the light in which he has before stood.
PHILADELPHIA, March 8.
It is understood, that the court-martial, which lately sat on Commodore Barron, have acquitted him of all the charges alleged against him by the court of inquiry. It is strange, that the proceedings are not made public.
At a late meeting of the Federalists of the city and county of Philadelphia, the Hon. James Ross was nominated as the Candidate for Governor.
The King of Sweden has granted to the Medical College of Stockholm, a handsome annuity, to be distributed amongst those Physicians and Surgeons who have most contributed to the success of Vaccine Inoculation.
ALEXANDRIA, March 9.
A number of the navy officers at New-York have received orders from the secretary of the navy, to repair immediately to Washington.
It appears that Bonaparte, during his late visit to Italy, has abolished one of the kingdoms erected by himself not seven years ago; and declared that in future it is to be governed by the laws of
his empire. The kingdom of Etruria was given to the prince of Parma (who married a daughter of the king of Spain) in exchange for Louisiana. This settlement was made by a solemn treaty signed at Madrid on the 21st of March, 1801, by Lucien Bonaparte and the Prince of Peace; in which are the two following articles:
V. "As this treaty originates from that which has been concluded between the First Consul and his Catholic majesty, and by which the king cedes to France the possession of Louisiana, the contracting parties agree to put in execution the articles of the former treaty, and to use their respective rights till the settlement of those differences mentioned in it.
VI. "As the new family to be established in Tuscany is of the family of Spain, these estates shall remain forever united to Spain, and an infant of that family shall be called to that throne, in case the present king or his children, have no posterity: in this case the sons of the reigning family of Spain shall succeed to these estates."
Notwithstanding this compact, and the sale of the territory received in exchange for Tuscany, for fifteen millions of dollars, Napoleon, without deigning to give the world a reason for his conduct, dethrones the family, and takes complete possession of the country. May the people from whose pockets those fifteen millions are paid, take warning in time: after such acts, can they expect that any contract, however sacred, will be observed by the French emperor longer than it suits his will and pleasure. [New-York Gazette.]
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Kingston, (Jamaica) to the editor of the Philadelphia True American, dated
FEBRUARY 5.
"I wrote to you about three weeks ago, mentioning the rise of flour and other American produce, in consequence of the embargo. They have continued to rise in price, but not so rapidly as was expected, owing to the arrival of one or two vessels from the United States, which have evaded the vigilance of the government; and I observe that the papers of this morning mention a vessel having arrived at Curracoa from the United States which sailed as late as the 15th ult. bringing intelligence of the American government having declared war against France, and that the embargo was to be taken off in March. This vessel is said to be freighted with 1100 barrels of flour, but as a good price cannot be procured at Curracoa, in consequence of there being 9000 barrels there before she arrived.—She is coming to this place. If the intelligence stated to have been brought by this vessel be true, [which I very much doubt] it will produce a fall in the market here for American produce, that will prove the strength of some of the mercantile houses here, as they have speculated very largely in American produce, particularly flour."
Capt. Stover, of the brig Delaware, arrived at Portland on Monday the twenty-second ult. in 39 days from St. Andero, Spain. Capt. S. informs, that he was induced to leave that place without waiting to take a full cargo on board, fearful that all American vessels would be stopped.
On the thirteenth of January, information was received by the American consul, that a brig belonging to Norfolk, and from thence bound to Bilboa, had been captured within four leagues of the port, by a French privateer, and carried into St. Antonio, for having spoken an English armed brig, which according to Bonaparte's proclamation is a sufficient reason for plundering and condemning American vessels.
On the same day, the French consul informed him, that the late decrees of the French Emperor were tantamount to a declaration of war against the U. S. and advised him to hasten his departure.
Captain Stover was advised by the vice consul, as well as by his consignees that in consequence of the alarming situation of the two countries (France and the United States) his business required the utmost expedition, in order to secure a passport from the place—These apprehensions were repeated the next day, in consequence of a letter from Mr. Erving, consul general at Madrid, to the vice consul at St. Andero, advising that it was necessary that all American vessels should depart immediately. His apprehensions for their safety was created by intelligence of an embargo on all American vessels at Bordeaux but did not learn on what account. The U. S. consul at St. Andero, in a letter to captain Stover, confirmed the above.

About the first of January there was a general rejoicing at St. Andros, in consequence of the combined fleet of France and Russia having arrived at a French port in the straits.
It was reported, that 64,000 French troops were marching through Spain, for the westward, destined for Portugal, and that provisions were transporting from different parts of Spain, for the inhabitants of Portugal, who were in a starving condition, in consequence of the blockade of their ports by the English.
CHARLESTON, February 16.
A very intelligent gentleman, who came passenger in the Portland, from Bordeaux, gives it as his opinion, that the desperate and cruel measures which Buonaparte is now pursuing, must if persevered in, inevitably lead to the destruction of his power. The uneasiness and dissatisfaction which prevails among the people are not to be described. They dare not complain; but their acquiescence is rather a sullen submission to the tyrant's will, than an approval of the measures of their government. Buonaparte had already began to make arrangements for calling out the conscripti of 1810, and the people were driven almost to madness by the many privations which they had already and were still to suffer from the war, augmented by the rigorous blockade by the British, and the restrictions of their own government—the young men, without distinction of persons, were torn from their homes, to fight for, they knew not what, except to serve the cause and promote the ambitious views of the inexorable tyrant, who aims at universal dominion, and who now wields the sceptre of the European continent, with a giant grasp, and governs its nations with a whip of scorpions. It was generally believed in France, that it was impossible for the U. States to preserve their neutrality. It was said to be the determination of the French government to compel us to become a party in the war; and should harmony be restored between the United States and Great-Britain, it would be followed by an immediate declaration of war on the part of France.
Madame Moreau arrived at Bordeaux, in the ship Eliza, from New-York, about ten days before the Portland sailed. She was immediately arrested by the police and confined to her hotel under a guard, without being permitted to write or speak with any of her friends.
MARTINSBURG, February 18.
The Speech of Mr. Gardenier, which it is believed gave rise to the personalities uttered against him by Mr. Campbell and others in the House of Representatives, and caused the duel, will be found in this day's paper. It may be said with justice, that short as the sketch is, it carries with it the strongest evidence of the masterly talents of the Orator, and the profound penetrating judgment of the Legislator—and will be a lasting monument of the patriotism and independence of his exalted mind. Americans will read with astonishment that such a Speech should have called forth the abusive personalities against the Honorable member—that in a body where freedom of debate is sacredly guaranteed by our Constitution, the animadversions of a member on governmental measures, should subject him to denunciation and perhaps to death, in defence of that right. And we sincerely regret that he should have been driven to resort for redress to a custom so contrary to Divine and human laws—laws which every citizen, and particularly every Legislator, is most solemnly obligated to regard.
Wash. Fed.
A number of the democratic members of congress, unfriendly to the election of Mr. Madison, have published a protest against his nomination by the late congressional caucus. After stating, at considerable length, their reasons they conclude thus—
We do therefore in the most solemn manner protest against the proceeding of the meeting held in the Senate chamber on the twenty-third day of January last, because we consider them—
As being in direct hostility to the principles of the constitution:
As a gross assumption of power not delegated by the people, and not justified or extenuated by any actual necessity:
As an attempt to produce an undue bias in the ensuing election of president and vice-president, and virtually to transfer the appointment of
those officers from the people, to a majority of the two houses of Congress.
And we do in the same manner protest against the nomination of James Madison, as we believe him to be unfit to fill the office of President in the present juncture of our affairs.

Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in Lisbon, to another in N. York, dated Dec. 17.
"We are authorised to assure you that the produce of the United States will be admitted into Portugal without a certificate of origin, and that no questions will be asked whether vessels bringing the same have or have not been into British ports, notwithstanding the late or any other decree to the contrary, and that your vessels will not meet with any future detention here."
Extract of a letter from a merchant at Antigua, to a gentleman in New-York, dated February 3, 1808.
"As yet no material alteration has taken place in our markets, notwithstanding your embargo that was to starve us out. Flour and lumber are the only articles which have advanced, and, strange as it may appear, we continue to receive very liberal supplies from America. Vessels are dropping in daily, and we need not, I think, be under any apprehensions at present of starving. The Packet is momentarily expected. It is believed she will bring orders to detain all American vessels in English ports. At Barbadoes they have already embargoed them."

Extract of a letter from a respectable trader in the northern part of Vermont.
"We are driven to distress in this quarter, beyond all endurance—and how we are to pay our debts to your merchants, God only knows. You say the prices quoted in your letter, (although absolutely less than those we have allowed here, for almost every article of our production and manufacture) are merely nominal, there being no purchasers at market; and this, you add, is owing to the Embargo. Pray what is this Embargo for; and how long is it to be continued? Remote as we are from the metropolis of your state, and consequently uninformed on the subject of this new and distressing
measure of our government, we beg you to give us all the information you can. The few papers we see in this quarter, afford no satisfactory solution of the enigma. The democratic ones uphold the step, but produce no argument in defence of their position; ... the federal papers, do indeed throw some light on the subject, but it serves not to brighten our prospects; or to render the gloom of our political night less dark and portentous. Attached as I am to the present administration, and placed in circumstances of such peculiar distress and embarrassment, it is difficult to know how to proceed. It surely cannot be the intention of Mr. Jefferson, wantonly to cripple the commercial enterprizes of our merchants, with an expectation that by so doing, he is aiding the agricultural interest. This would be a species of folly of which I trust he is not chargeable tho' I have seen the charge made. Should it, however prove true, that he is, in heart, opposed to the great interest of our maritime Commerce, and that the existing Embargo has not been laid on by imperious necessity, he must shortly bid adieu to all the fame and all the honour he has acquired for wisdom and sagacity; and with Wolsey may exclaim: "I have ventur'd, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, These many summers in a sea of glory; But far beyond my depth; my high blown pride At length broke under me; and now has left me, Weary, and old with vices, to the mercy Of a rude stream that in its tempestuous course Hurries me on to darkness and oblivion Oh had I served my God with half the zeal I serv'd my party, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies."
