mach British • propcfrly In the po-tVet o the enemy ;
that it furnisoes occupation to b 0,990 seameo,
ready to he einploytd against ouNel'veS, whenever
it pleases &ton:parte to require their' services that
it costs us annually ten million; of pada* hi freight
paid to foreign shippMge thit: it is the principal
eaue of the drain of our specie,; and the depteSsion
of our forign exchangesi; there is another objection
to it, which ought to have peculiar weight with his
Majesty's present Ministers, that ,it is in direct op-
position to the great principle of tho'se Orders in
Council, on which they found their'chief claim to
political' sagacity and energy.
The declared ohja6.l of the Orders in`Cotincil is,
" to retort upon the enemy those Mischiefs which
he intended to infliEt Upon the trade and commerce
of 'these kingdoms ;" to place his staple commodi=
ties'and Manufaatires, under the same interdict, as'
he haS placed thoSe of Great Britain by his decrees.
Bat by these licenses we give them both circulation.
and value, and render our Orders imCounCil
gether abortive. When we coMpare our first Oich-r
ie Council, didated in the just Spirit of retaliat rn,
and supported by the unanswerable arguments of
necessity,and self-defence, with our second Order in
council, bartering those principles for a p:a;try con-
sideration of pounds, shillings, and pence ;• and`cal-
, culating, with sordid care, how t•iitt.ch yetaliatikin
and self-defence we could atibrd to commute for so
mach money, we gannet but recal to our minds,
and apply to his :Majesty's Councils, the exclaims,
(ion of Arastes, when his vrinciples gave way to
the chat ms of his fair captive Panthea. 01. Cyrus;
I feel that I have two souls within ine;. ore that
inclines me to good, the other to evil ; the further
predominates when you are preSent, the latter when. •
you are absent. Two very 'different spirits; indeed
predominated in the'Cabioet, when these two Or-
ders in Council were issued; bat who was present,,
or who!owas absent, as .either` predomieated, wt pre-
Imo not to conjed ore. The American Govern-.
merit justly; charatlerized the second Order in Court-
cil, which we endeavoured to persuade them to:con-
sider as a favour, and :as a modification of the first,
as adding.insult to injury. Indeed; the only rea•-
sonable ground of complaint,.that AmeriCa can urge ..
against the British Government, is founded Upon
this second Order 'of Council, aed those licenses of
which it: was the parent: While me regulated our
own condu&, by the principles of necessity and
self-defence, 'nn which the first Order in Council
was founded, and by which alone so strong an inter- •
ference with the rights of neuttals could be justitiad,
Anteric4 felt and submitted 10 those pammodrit cori-
sidzfrations.; but when we began-to trade with the
enemy by means of licenses, she rationally conclud-
ed that we had used necessity and self-defence as
,Jam pleas; as a mere pretext tor monopolizing to
oursel „es all the advantages to be derived two corn-
mercial intercourse with .the powers with whom we
were at war.

B> a firm and rigid adherenee.to the spirit of our
first Oder in. Council; we 'should probably have
ca: Tied our, point ; but the experiment never had a
fair trial. By this system of ) licenses, we have re-
lieYed the enemy froin all the pressure we intended
to oceasibri ;• we have promoted the export of his
staple commodities and. manuta6tures ; and we have
,supplied him with all those articles of the first neces-
sity, the want of which alone couli,l induce nun to
rescind his decrees, and return to that fair evstem
of-reciprocity, which is fhe true basis nt,commercial
intercOurse. rlt :was expeaed in Russia, that, in
consequence of 'the confisestions•that took place in
her ports last year, no more British dieenses to trade
to them would be granted; anti, in this iierstrasion,
the Russian, Government,- early in the spinig of the
present year, and actually prepared licenser: permit-
ting the importation of British manufactures and
colonial produce, in exchange ;for their staple COM-
modifies.; when new British licenses Appeared, pet-
nutting the importation ,of Russian commodities,
without any stipulation in 'return, and rendered the
intended concessions on the part of Bussia unneces•
sary. 41 the mere apprehension of out retaliatory
system prochice.d.this effed in Russia, it May fairly
be concluded, .that a rigid 'adherence to it, .wotild•
prodnpe a similar effect in France : hyt while his
Majesty's MiniSters, by a timid and wavering po--
licy, have abandoned the object of their Orders in
Council, Bnooaparte, hy. a firM and' resolwe po
licy, has attained the objea of his decrees, the ex-
clusion of British manulattures , and produce from
the Continent of Eerope ; and diSastrous. in .the
extreme has . the result been, to this, country, as
appear 6 from the lollowinr; statement of our
,recent losses, which may fairly btu traced to this

' professed, and from which we ought neverto havui
departed. By this thesifs alone can Ave Ictortnpon
the enemy the evils whi!:6-ie hasinflicleckop,3l; The

a general spirit. of diicontent 'throughout theCohti-
nent, that may alarin its tyrant for the stability of
his power, and. oblige him u rescind ilidso decrees,
which he triumphantly declares to be the funda-
mental laws of his empire.
" Another consideration, of a very different na-
ture from those' which have been urged, ought to
induce his Majesty's Ministets*to abandonllns sys-
tern of licenses ; that it nt the vely'rpot of
the integrity and morality of the commtrcial Part of
„
the comintinity. .e.very license granted for a foreign
vessel to. proceed from this country to an enemy's
port,. is a license granted to 'commit forgery; per,
jury, and bribery ; nay, 'it imposes
salt obligat;on
upon the parties to whom It is granted to coonnit
all these crimes; for without them the trade cannot
be carded on. The parties commence thzir opera-
tions by procuring what are called Simulated ''pa-
pers ; or papers, fahricated • here, polpot Ong to be
'clearances :from some 'foreign port, whence the
vessel might be adtumitted into the port to wluch
-she is hound.

• "To make these papers complete, all the print•
ed forms of f&teign clearances and certificates; toge-
ther with the' seels and signatures of the' fOreign
Custom House Officers and Consuls, are forged ;
and to such happy per fe6tion :have' we brought this
art, that it is impbAible to distinguish the 'tiatitioirs'
from the real documents. When the vessel arrives
at the port of her destination, the seen° of perjury
opens ; for the master, and frequently both the
master and the crew, must swear that tire vessel ac-
tually came from the port, at which her simulated
papers are dated. Bribery follows of course ; both
to pity poor wretches who perjure thertiselves iii
the service of their etnyleyets, and to lull the
vip -
lance of the foreign Custom-House Officers. Poli-
limns may, perhaps, consider all these ',rakes
agai'nst the enemy, as perfectly ..justifiable; as no-
thing more than a harmless ruse de guerre. With-
out 'slopping "to analyse this Machiavelian distinc-
tion, we shall shew that the practice of this black Ca-
talogue of trinres is not confined to the enemy ; for
such is the force of habit, that men who have once
accustomed themselves to dezt in deceit, soon use it
iodtscriminately upon friends or foes, as prompted
by the love of gain ; and thus the poisoned chalice
is returned to our own lips. A melancholy instance
of this troth is furnished by an advertisement which
lztely appeared in the public papeis, offering a te.
ward of one hundred ponds for the anprehension of
lately of Portland-place, mer-
cnant, against whpm -a bill of indictment was
found bY'llie Grand Jitiy, at the late Seisions held
et dread 13.eiley, for haviog fals-ely fabriened and
forged a letter, purporting to have been written eta
him your Amsterdam, tor the-purpose of ieducieg
the ene.krwriters to pay a total loss on a policy at
insiirence effected by him, and which loss the under.'
writers accoldingly.! Here we see Ott fatal
effects..ot making men familiar With criines, and
how soon they proceed from one,leegth to another.
Mr. we are told, was a merchant of•consi-
derable eminence, and mo.it respectable character ;
a man of liberal education, ,and polished manners,
who mixed in the first circles of this Mettopohi,
and who in all. probability .woold neer have been
led into the perpetration of, this offence, had not
fabrication and .forgery become familiar to him,
from his being I trgely.conce`ine& in this trade to the
pOrts of the enemy, under.licenset. In a book of high
nut hority, we read of a set of men, great pretenders to
more than ordinary sanotity; who could strain at
a gnat, btit awallow a camel ; and we shall think
this race not yet extinct, if, after 'the picture we
have drawb, any man who wishes to pass for pious,
and ,conticientious continue to give this trade his
sanction. ' • -

‘,‘ The underwriters have it in their -power at
once to abeltsb.this perniciims traffic; for if it could
not be insured, it could not be cairied
.on. The
losses:, they' have
_lately sustained by confiseatiorts
abread., and, f raud at, home, must. survly have taught
them, that the best foundations of their prosperity
are the protection of the
,British
,flag; and the in•
tegrity of tho,,e with whom they deal. Let them
then resolve no longer to insure these foreign ves-
sels, trading under licenses to, the ports of. the
enemy: By deterMination, the!), will avoid the
reeurren4:e Of future conli:fottions ; an.l the just ie-

to take it down ;end slew it to her, which 'MIL,
nevel perinitred, but gave her an earnest charge not

it, keying the afTlieted mother in the utmost

that she was informed Cross was seen standing that
day, with another woman, at her door, and both
walked ill together with'the child. Under these
circnni.itances, she applied' for a ‘Orraut to appre-

t'bein cif" Godeiave the 'King" was given in 'their
best manner; and called forth
,those apel;eiseS which

Old. England for ever !" followed, and the zeal
which was evinced by the company an lauding the
fkffigti ufthe singers, as well as the language of the.
song, bore hotiourable testimony to their teelings of
love for the objed so justly praised. " Take yeur
auld cloak about ye," the " Deane of Nelsoe," ;Sae
tke.,were soup, •in a manner equally etfeetive,
added much to the rational pleaseresof.the evening.'
Soon after the cloth had, been removed;

him to alter Isis sesoluti'-m.. 'His Grace, however,
informed the deputai ion that he had quite, made up
