in the present confused • and. distracted state of the
Country,, it
.t ay beCome an easy prey to &own-.
TARTE, who, according to some accounts, was ex-
peeled at Madrid on the 23th ult. MURAT, with
his troops, having, according to the same accounts,
arrived in that capital the day before. At the time
when the accounts left-Caditi La Proclamation had
just been -issued exhorting the people to repair to
their homes and submit patiently to those. measures
which the wisdom and vigour of the new Govern-
ment were devising for the happineas,independence,
and security Of the Kingdom.

WE 'give this day a second 'Letter from, Mr.
PICKERING, in answer to GovknOr StrO4v;or, who,
from the most pitiful motiv4s of party, declined to
publish that admirable Letter'which Mr. PICKERING
addressed to him, and which we presented to • our!
Readers on Tuesday. :We are glad to find that, as
we expelled, Mr: PicitEattrn's Letter made a very
forcible impression upon the public mind in Ame-
rica; and it it could not dispose Mr. JEYPEaSeisr to
let the Public into. the designs of BOONAPARTE, It
served at least to unveil the sentiments of Mr. JEF-
FERSON tO hiS countrymen, and to convince them
that he •is much tnore inclined to be upon
good terms with France than' to .avoid a-rup-
ture with Great Britain. The Morning Print
svhicli had the teinerily to assert that 'Mr. PICK-
ERING is a map. without any " reputation or
,weight in America," after. having repeatedly de-
clared that the Embargo in that Country was the
,result of the Orders in Council issued by the British
Government, now says, that it is pertatly well-
known that the Embargo was adopted in:Contetnpla-
lion of those Orders. We shall make no coaiment un
such gross inconsistency, but shall content our-
pelves with observing, that if the Embargo was
indeed founded upon such a contemplation, it
is virtually a strong deface of those Orders,
since it appears evident that, in the' opinion
of the American Government, as well as eve-

Ty wise and dispassionate man, in America as
well as in Great Britain, the tyrannous Decrees of
BUONAYARTE against the Commerce of this Country
naturally produced, and would fully warrant, those
measures 'of relaliation, which were in consequence
adopted by the British Cabinet.
