what effect must this have upon America'? Yoa

that you make the enemy a nation of soldiers,
America a nation of manufacturers; and thus
all you can to enable the one to beat you, and
other to starve you (hear ! hear !). I say again,
anent the feeling of Amerita towards this country.
..anent that you have provoked that feeling. With
-at of tedious pertinacity in ill offices—a teazing
lesness—a kind of incapacity to be quiet,you *aye
wed yourselves out of the affections of America.
i have not acted with- wisdom —you have not
!cl with dignity—your strength lies in the entirety
.our commerce. There has been too much of a rued-
g spirit of envy, that should have been foreign to
great a people. Why should we have been so jealous
:he little trade of an infant state comparatively ?
,u should have put such thoughts far from you ; in
rtaining such you descended from the grand eleva.
that was peculiarly your own, to meddle
little game with which your dignity should not
.e suffered you to interfere—you have lost much
dealing in small games ( Hear, hear!) You have
lg been too great to profit by them—look back to
time when you possessed one Continent and in-
!need another—you lost the one in a wanton effort
put about a hundred thousand pounds into your
usury ! You call this pride—it is the want of
de ; for if you had it you would know how to
.use in your own greatness, and not descend to trifle
a rivalry that would betray rather the craving
monopoly than the spirit of emulation. Let
gland be to America what she ought to be, and
merica will be to England all that we could wish
Be warned by the infatuation that once lost
,u America, and let not the same infatuation drive

now into the arms of France.
Mr. CANNING took a very extensive view of our
.merican relations, and in a speech of very great
igth, minutely replied to the obwrvations ef the
fferent Members. He complimented the Right
ronourable Gentleman (Mr. Grattan) for the
lcndid declamation with which he that night had
pported the Motion of his Friend (Mr. Whit-
ead ). Still he conceived, that notwithstanding the
peals of those who opposed him, be could well sup.
irt the system w hich the present Administration had
irsued with respect to America. it still was his
!ty to inform the House, that although provoked as
Misters were, the regard they lid to the country,
-bad them to interfere with discussions which were
ading between the respective Governments. The
Aim of the Right Honourable mover, went to the
:cut of fettering the conduct of Government in dk-
;sions with the Ministers of neutral states. He
nsolered the present discussion premature, and de-
ided the Orders in Council upon the principle of re-
iation. The right of resisting the attacks of an
my was a principle of self-defence. If the attack
through our commerce, we had II right to retaliate
-ougli commerce ; if neutrals acquiesced in the de
;us of our enemy, we had also a right to retaliate,
d :,eize neutrals ; if this was not the principle ac-
awedged by Belligerent States, our grandeur and

tier all, to what did the proposition from Mr. Pinck-
'y amount ? It was this—that when Great Britain
.ve up all her Orders in Council, that of the 7th of
unary, 1807, as well as the rest, then the President

airs of America would not take the rest. The
.oposal itself was a mere mockery, for the one half
their ships, released by the removal of the Em-
trgo, would have gene into the ports of Frances ;
iw were they to prevent this ? A partial embargo,
imitting trade with England, and not with France,

iuntry. It the embargo was taken off this day, he
iuld know to-morrow at Lloyd's what was the price

!hat were the acts of h_ ,stuffy displayed by this coon-
? In spite of the Non-importation Act, we had
rice passed acts in &veer of American commerce.
—The Non-Importation Act alone, in other times,
-ould have been a sufficient pound of war. The
fight Honourable Gentleman then defended himself
th grea& ability from the charge of arrogance
;ought against him by the Honourable Gentleman.
Whatever charges of this kind might be brought
gainst him, he derived consolation from the very
ifferent ctpinioni expressed hy Messrs. Pinckney and
:onroe, the American Andeiesaders, on the nature
if the communication with them.
Lord HENRY PETTY- in a most animated speech
!plied to the various arguments of the last speaker.
He dwelt with peculiar energy on the effect produced
America by the letter Mr. Canning to Mr.
'inkney, dated the 23d September, 1808. That
ommunication reaeiled A :::erica previous to the Elee-
ion—a time in a dernoceatic country of great heat
old political zeal. as ins effect ? It was to be
:raced in the follow Ing c:rcumstance: it was well un-
derstood that in the various states, previous to the
election of a President, each c ate elected an inspector,
:o whom was delegated il.e vote of that state for the
election of a chief m.e,:iorate. It was well known
:hat on the appointment ti•e inpectors, previous to
the late election ter ;I Preeident, persons from the
federal, oche: wise the Englkli inteiest, were almost
universally returned. Bat such was the effect oi the
able and well-timed conaao of the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, that :lie whole public mind of
America was insulted by his ill-placed irony; and the
consequence was, that a revilution of public ()pillion
took place, by which the party in America presumed
not most friendly to English infleience, was intrusted
with the Sovereignty of that important Empire.
Mr. ROSE entered into various explanations of
circumstances to which an illusion was made by the
preceding Speakers, and contended by expressing his
hope, that the people of America understood that
their best policy was connected with English predo-
rniaance.
Mr READ cxpressed his determination ntit

By the vessel which brought from Heligoland the
German Papers from which we yesterday gave ex-
tra ts, an Officer arrived with dispatches for Govern-
ment. If we may credit the reperts in circulation,
thfiie dispatches confirm, in some degree, the accounts
we gave in our last, of Russia not being disposed to
join in NAPOLEON'S projected overthrow of the Aus-
trian Monarchy. It we may judge from the price of
Stocks, this news receives sonic credit in the City.—
A war between France and Austria is now considered

as certain.

An exchange of prisoners has been negociated with
the King of DENNIARK. A cartel has been appointed,
and sail in a few days from the Norc she will
take upwards of 200 Danish prisoners, principally
seamen, and return with an equal number.

Dispatches have been received from Admiral 8-roP-
ronD's squadron off Rochefol t, brought to Plymouth
by the DorrEitta.r. brig of war of 18 guns, Captain

When these dispatches came away Admiral Ducx-
won-rn's fleet had not joined the ships that were then
watching the enemy's motions.—Admiral STOPFORD'S
squadron was seven sail of the line, four frigates, and
one brig.—The enemy's force, eleven sail of the line,
(one cf them a 3-decker, and one of them a 64) and
three frivates.
The three frigates which were chased by the CzsAr,
DEFIANCE and DoNzwsL, were driven on shore at
Sable d'Olonne, and supposed to be rendered useless.
The enemy were tryii g to unload them. They are
the Italian, the Calip: o, a a Fames.
On the `26th ult. the enemy's fleet got under weigh
fi-om Basque Roads and procceied to Isle d'Aix,
where another of the.r frigates got on shore, and
where, we unders!and, hopes are entertained that
they will not be able to escape some farther injury,

D! YAD, FORTCNEE and PRINCESS put to
sea from Cork ti r the Southward immediately upon
the arrival of intelligence from Plymouth of the sail-
ing of fie Brest Rect. .

A vessel which arrived at Dover yesterday from off
Flushing, states the French ships lying there, and now
ready for sea, at a less number than we gave yester-
day trot► the Hamburgli papers. According to this
vessel the whole force consists of nine sail of the line,
a 50 gun ship, and two frigates.
The Charlemagne French prize sent into Falmouth,
as we stated yesterday, was one of e;ght bound from
L'Orient to G uadaloupe.. The RALEIGH went in
pursuit of the others, and slime of them will probably
be taken. The nutster of the Charlemagne states that
the Fi cnch had ready for sea, in different ports of
France, about 30 ships of the line, the greater part
of which, according to report, were destined for the
West Indies.

Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty
from Admiral BraTir, at the Cape of Good Hope,
dated December (.79 ; they advise the capture of the
1...,kent1., Captain NV() )tcoNlar, of 22 guns, by la Ca-
noniere French fr*gate, C 6 guns, after a severe,and
obstinate engagement, which continued near an hour.,
off the Isle of France. Eight men were killed, and,
about (20 wounded, among w:lom, we can assure our
Readeis, there was net an Officer of any description.
The crew of the LAUREL were daily expected to
arrive at the Cape, their exchange having been ef,
fected. Among those taken after the engagement,
Nv eJe two or three officers, who had previously been
appointed to the CuLlawn.r., of which ship the
LAUREL was in search when she fell in with la Ca-

noniere.
From tLe absence of neutrals from the Isle of
France, the F nict cruizing of our ships in that
station, by which all supplies arc intercepted, the in-
habitants were reduced to a most deplorable state.
