Z" We stated last week, in our remarks ON
the Enquirer's Letter, that the British min
istry were not to be removed, and this is
what the Federalists have repeatedly pub
lishcd. The democrats, however,, are now
satisfied, that England is determined not to
give up one point SO long as Bonaparte's Ber-
liza and Milan DEGREES shall remain in force
and Bonaparte is determined that we
shall night for or against him-& we are de-
termined to draw our heads into our shells
like terrapins, and not fight at all so We will
see, BY and by, who'll keep their promise"

The following is a copy of the Circular
Letter addressediby the consul of the y 5. at
Hamburger, to the masters of American ships,
bound to that port. It. discloses fully the
precarious nature of the understanding WIN IN
subsists between France and America. The

ed by their usual treachery. They 1lntcrdlct

Late Foreign Intelligence.

By the arrival yesterday at this port Of the
ship Eagle, captain Duplex, from belfast, the
editors of the New York Gazettee have re-
cciyed Cork papers to the 9th and London
papers to the goth Nov. from which they
have made the following extracts.
- Inrommenting on the late orders OF the
British government, declaring the ports of
France and her allies blcckaded, one Of the
Cork papers.obserres--
The country, which We should be disposed
most kindly towards, but which comes m9st)
under the operation of the late DEGREES OF
Council, is America--to her they will be cs-
pecially injurious; but she even dldnot re-
monstrate, that we know of, against the un-
lust and uneXampled -persecu ion OF france
against our trade, and consequently iii great
degree against her own. Her intercourse
with the French and Spanish West India
islands, which formed the most lucrative
branch Of her commerce, will suffer heavily
by the blockade system, if not beAtterly de-
stroyed twill iniure all her foreign trade,
which preference to the shipping lists of Lon
don and Liverpool, and of New Yorks Phi
ladelphia, Boston, Baltimore, &c. &c. Will
prove that to be immense. ~sLloyd'sf Lists,
within a very short period, lately, had $50
arrivals of American ships, witt cargoes, in.
the U. States, from different quarters of the
world There are few. of these that would
not hare come within the blockading system,
and it therefore may be judged how nateri-
ally American cemmerce-will be~affectcd by
its future execution. We can, only repeat
our regret for what is likely to result, but we
could notrecommend any reduction of that
spirit which is manifested in the late orders.
It is as incumbent upon Bonaparte to relax in
his system as for5his majesty-he is the au-
thor oft. And America or any country may
as fairly expect that will abandon his strict
ness as that our sovereign shall relinquish his.
He must first give way and until he does, we
trust to see our plan operating With undimi-
nished yigor.

Which never open but to weep!
For oh thy potent charm,
Can agonising pain disarm,
Expel imperious memory from her seat,
And bid the throbbing heart forget to beat
Soul soothing plant that can such blessings give
By thee the rlouncr loves to live,
By thee the hopeless die,
Oh, ever friendly to despair,

pronounce upon his case without delay.
For four or FIVE months this proceeding
has fingered; and in the mean while the
public has been occasionally insulted with
mntilated statements of testimony
brought before it, not bearing upon the
matter Of the accusation, but the char.
ac,er Of the witnesses. The court it
will be remembered, refused the admis-
sion of notr-,akers for reasons which
were formally drawn up for publication
bet which amounted to nothing more
than libel upon the daily practice of
those courts of law, to which we have
entrusted every thing dear in society.
One Of the most damuing pieces of evil
de nee against him, by a. living and ac-
eessible witness, is that furnished by
Mr.. Andrew Ellicott of Pennsy lvania,
who holds an high civil commission un-

Ellicott represented, contrary to his true
character. TO be wretch, destitute Of
any claims to credibility.

amount to any thing worthy Of notice.
