to a commercial warfare between the Linitell Sates I
and foreign nations. Admit, for iffilanie, that
the United States lisnuld increafe her diferiminat
ing duties, will not foreign nations alt.() increafe
theirs in every infante, and at every time that
the United States (hall purfue their plan of in-
creafe? If fo, your Committee are at a lids to
conceive what benefit could itife to the intereft of
the United States from fuch a fyilesrs.
The fccond mode appears to your Committee
more conotfient with the true intereli, as well as
with the peaceful difpofition of the United States.
They, thetefore, fubmit the following refolution :
Refolvcd, That to much of the feveral Ads,
imp,.fing duties on the tonnage of (hips and veffels,
and on goods, wares, and merthandize, impdrted
into the United States, as impofes a difcriminai:ng
duty of tonnage, between foreign vcfrels and 'refills
of the United States, and between goods imported
into the United States, in foreign veffels and veffels
of the United Sates ought to be repealed; fe far
as the fame refpeds the produce or manufaCture of
the nation to which fuch foreign (hips or veffels
may belong—fuch repeal to take effea in favour
of any foreign nation, whenever the Prefident than
he fati4ed that the difcrimin iting or countervail-
ing duties of fuel: foreign nation, fo far as they
operate to the difadvantage of the United States,
have been abolilhed.

PARIS, to VE? TOSE, MARCH t.

I A perfon named Peltier has been condemned by
the Ttibtitml, of London, for having publilhed
tome miferable libels again( the FIUST CONSUL.
We cannot conceive why the Engli(h Mini(try
thould have wifhed to give fir much eclat to all this?
t;lc.Eoglith lout nals have publithed that the
pluiceittiun was carried on in confequence of a
roloerl from France, and even that the French
;.u.ha'ra.!.or was prcfent at the trial, we are fully
a::c:orifed to contraditq both there reports. The
FIRST CONW L. never knew of the exiftence of thefe
libels, but by the proceedings.
In the fyflem of Europe, all civilifcd nations
' have reciprocal duties to difcharge. They ought
to (hew to each (alter the more refpeft, as.the op-
polite fyflem, which has partilans in all countries,
would tend to nothing lefs than to plunge us into
barbarifm and anarchy.
It may be readily conceived alfo, how little in-
tereil people in England can have for encourag-
ing, and authoriting all the infamous things,vomit-
cod torth.bv thelilvellifls of that count' y, and that
they can have (till lets for protening the French
lib sills who have fettled them during the war
3:be inutility of this folemn and naentatious pro-
cedure may be readily conceived alio.

The alien-bill gives the Miniilry the power of
fending foreigners nut of the country I and they
make a liberal ufe of it. More than twenty do-
miciliated and known Frenchmen have been fent
out of England without any formality.. Only a
kw days ago Ci:izen BONNECARRERR• Chef de
fiatAllon of the National Guarekof Paris, having
a law.fitt at London, with his wife who was there
lick, ieccived orders to depart within 48 hours.

\Ve know individuals fettled and domici/iated
at London for more than thirty years, who have
lately been treated in the fame manner. Why then
!hemld they amufe themfelves with dragging, ;n a
formal m inner, before a refpeaable Tribunal,
forrigiters guilty of mildemeanort, of which fume
arr ear at the end of violent 'comninthtnt?
It it tufficient fur the Inbalterns (fcse 'Wyllie!) of
Lot d PFLHA`.I, to lay to them, letiouGy, write
more"—'they wiil then be filent ; and if they
are nut, the :Mien bill ;gives them a right to fend
them out of tht country.
The King of England, if he eonfults his own
pee'onal refpal, and the honour of the nation,
ought at length to put 1n end to the outrages of-
fered to a neighbouring Government and Nation,
nth which it is At peace, and near whom it keeps
Anthaffadors as much diftinguifhed by their rank;
as eflim.iMe for their perfonal qualities. '

It raft, however, he allowed, that if this trial
was ufeit36l ivilas afforded an-opportunity to the
Migillrates of the Criminal Tribuu.4l
of Lon.lon,to give wiFoof of their wiflnm, mid Of
(hewing themielves'isitirthy to adtninitter Juftice in
a nation fu enlightened,.•and fo worthy of elleem
on many accounts.—Mokkur.
