owing TO the unsettled state of affairs be-
tween THIS country and England, the mer-
chants OF Liverpool had determined to send
very few goods to the United States---this
determination must have been taken, lone
before the affair at Norfolk could have been
known IN England, and is therefore worthy
cot notice. NNWhat produced this resolution /!
Certainly no hostile views or intentions on
our part, for we had no idea of war previ-

effect OF the non importation law, for its

CHARACTER OF MR.. FOX.

Charles ] imes Fox was for 80 years princi-
pal leader III the debates and difcuiiions of the
Engliih houfr Of commons. The eminent
trantsciions Of his life lay within thofe walls ;
and 10 many of his countrymen as were accuf.
toned TO hear his fpecches there, or have habi-
tuaiiy read the abfraGs which have been pub
lihed OF them, arc in pofciiion Of the prnci-
pal materials by which this extraordinary man
is tn be Judged
Fox is the mof luxurious model Of parlia-
meutary leader on the iide of liberty that this
country has ptoduced.--Ths character is the
appropriate glory of England, and Fox is the
proper example of this character.
England has been called with great felicity of
conception, "The land of liberty and good
tenfe. We have preierved many of the adj
vantages of free people, which the nations of
the continent have long fince loft. Some of
them have made wild and incorporate faIlies.
for the recovery of all thofe things which are
mott saluable 10 maintain fociety, but their eff
forts have not been attended with the happieA
iucceis.- There is iobrieiy in the Euglifb peo-
PEE particularly in accord with the pofeiiion
or freedom. We are fomewhat flow, and
tomewhat flent but beneath this outlide we
have much reflection, much of firmnefs, a con-
iciouinefs of power and worth, fpirit of frank
dealing, and plain fpeaking, and a moderate and
decent furdinefs of temper not eafly to be de-
luded or fubdued.

The argument of MayAaN VS.. the Delaqpo-e

for the defendants--" that they are ony liable
for an average iois." The principles of the de.
