Homy, JAN. I.—All ihe Letteis from Wash-
ington announce a tear with- Great hritain as ~ety
inevitable. The Embargo was carried by the
ence of a spirit hostile to Great Britaln, and of course
not very independent of France.
If the people of New England quietly submit to
the system of attaching our fate to that of France,
our independence is at an end.

TH$ ranNcm GRAND JUDGE TO THE titliNOH AT-

TORNBY-OENRRAL.

SIR-4 hate submitted to his Majesty the Emperor
and King, the doubts raised by his Excellency the
Minister of Marine and Colonies, on the extent of
certain dispositions of the Imperial Decree of the e Ist
November, 1806, which has declared the, British
Isles in a state of blockade. The fOlkiwing are his
Majesty's intentions on the points in question :
I. May vessels of war, by virtue of the Impe-
rial Decree of the gist Nov. last, seize, on board,
neutral vessels, either English property, or even all
merchandize proceeding from the English tnanufac-
tories or territory ?
ANswee—His Majesty has intimated that as
he did not think proper to express any exception
in his Decree, there is no ground for making any
in its execution, in relation to any Whomsoever,
(A regard tie pique cc pot etre).

2d. His Majesty has postponed a decision on the.
question whether armed French Vessels ought to
capture Neutral Vessels bound to or from England,
even when they have nu English meichandize on
board. (Signed) REGNIER.

The Embargo appears, by the language of the
Government Papers, intended to produce a coer-
cive effe6t upon England. What' would we compel
her to do ? To make reparation for the attack on
the Chesapeake? She has sent Mr. glow:, expressly
commissioned, to do all that her chara6ler can suffer
to be done without degradation, to satisfy the
wounded feelings of our Country. He is now
near out coast, if -not arrived, bearing the olive
branch, and tendering us satisfnEtion, peace and
good will. It is therefore madness to say, the Em-
bargo has any relation to the attack on the Chesa-
peake. What then are we to. compel Great Bri-
tain to do by this Embargo ? She shall abandon her
claim to her owes Subjecrts whenever they can get on
board our Merchant Vessels ! This is the only point
that now labours between the two Governments.
Tu etre& this concession, on the part of England, we
are called upon to sacrifice the prosperity of the
Country---to submit to the most distressing; priva-
tious,many to absolute ruin—and all this with
,dig-
nity and patience.
Let those who already see consternation stalking
through our streets, and hundreds of poor but in-
dustrious men, even on the second day of the cm-
bargo, standing without any employment, seeing
for some means of earning a day's support for their
family, let them imagine this state of things, pro-
-03644 a few mouths, and judge of the conse-
quences. WILL TIIBY BE iIqNPOBTABLE ?

It is evident .from the tone of the National intelli-
gencer, and corroborated by all the letters we have
Seen froinWashington, that the Embargo is to last
until its einras arc
,felt across the ditlantie.--1f so,
it must continue many months. Can it be borne
with dignity and patience ?

-
We have given, in all, towards twenty mil-
lions of dollars, to prevent the French from,
owning territories in our neighbourhood. It is
now confidently asserted that BUOYAP'ART4 has
made arrangements, in his way, with the Govern-
ment. of Spain, to cede to him the Floridas !
Thus after wasting our Treasury, and incurring
an enormous debt, to secure the management of
our own affairs without interruption, we are to
have a French Colony bordering with us upon the
4%4tlantic. It is as evident as any thing can be, that
With such a territory, running so fitr beyond them
as our Louisiana possessions,.we are more exposed,
and les& able to defend ourselves than ever. Thus
ends the miserable policy of attempting to attain
security by purchasing the ground that a suspected
and meddlesome tenant might occupy.
RupoßT.—A GentleManin this town received a
letter by the first Mail of last evening, from hid
friend in Philadelphia, assuring him that Mr, ithx..
DOLPH had moved for an impeachment of Mr, hi,.
FUSON, in the House of Representatives.

As the Papers of the second Mail make no ale n
lion of such a circumstance, we presume it is a jai*
take.
