" ESTINDIES.--It will be found
BY examining the ship news, that pro-
visions are becoming quite cheap In
the British islands, while the ports Of
her enemies experience almost a dis
tres5 Of famine. From which it appears,
that the embargo is peculiarly severe
on the French, Dutch and Spanish
colonies, and a sourse ofgreat profit to
the British merchants in Nova-Scotia
and Canada who furnish employment
to hundreds of American. seamen. In
a republic, the majority have a right
to do what they please but it is oul
duty to record historical facts anc
this embargo is as singular an item, il
duration and effect, as is on the page
Of history.

The ship Martha capt. Beare, Of
this port, who arrived few days since,
on her outward bound passage to Cal
cutta, had the misfortune to have two
thirds Of her crew poisoned by eating
Fish, and, laying 10 most dangerous
and critical situation, they fell in with
an English ship OF war, the Triumph,
Rear Admiral Sir Richard Strachan.
When the Situation of the crew was
made known to the Admiral he sent his
Physician on board and rendered him
every assistanc, possible, and left with
him an ample supply of medicine for
the remainder of the voyage. The
Admiral made capt b. an offer to sup
ply him with as many seamen as he
had sick, provided he would pledge his
honor to deliver them over 10 the Brit
ish Admiral in India, and he pledged
himself to put the sick crew Of the
Martha into the first ship bound to a.
merica but the seamen could not be
prevailed upon to leave the ship From
the aid received the whole Of the crew

IN our last we stated that Mr.. Lezy-
is Andena5ly. confirmed HE declaration
Of Bonatar;e, that zve Sho4id no longer
remain neural We have since had
the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Legyfs, and
find the expression used was rather too
strong. 1t might be inferred from it
that lac kRezV tie fact. The statement
ofthe affairs is this. 4 deputation of
the merchants of Bordeaar waited on
Bonatarte soliciting permission to car
~ on their trade in brandy through the
medium of neutrals. The answer Of
the emperor to the request, as it was
reported among the Americans in
Paris, was, that there should Demo neu.
trails.
We take pleasure in making this
correct statement because we have no
wish to misrepresent the language Of
others, nor to induce improper impress
sions on the public mind.
From another expression in the same
article, ii might. be inferred that Mr..
Letsis was indecorously, treated in
France, as it is particularly mentioned
that he was .decorously treated in Eng
land. That gentleman assures us that
his reception and treatment in both
countries was perfectly friendly and
respectful--that in both they had some
difficulty with the custom-house officers
on their arrival, but that they were
promptly removed ona representation
to the respective governments. In
both L'OrIert and Falmouth, the Usage
was treated as a national vessel, and
paid no port charge.

when WAsHISeToN Quilted public life

lillian Duane published the following
paragraph in the Aurora.
From the AHroru.

ejaculation Of "a man who beheld food

fellow citizens, is no longer possessed
of power to MULTIPLY EVILS upon
the United States. If ever there was
a period for rejoicing, this is the mo-
nent. Every heart in unison with
the freedom and happiness Of the peo-
pie, ought to BEAT HIGH with EXUL-
TATION, that the name Of WASH

currency to fohncat iriguity, and to
legalize corrHftioH A new era Is

no longer be supported by a MAIZE
When retrospect is taken of the
Washington administration, for eight
years, it is a subject Of the greatest
astonishment, that single individual
could have cANKERED THE PRINcr-
PIES or REPUBLICANISM in an
enlightened people, and shonld have
carried his designs against the public
liberty, 50 far, as to have put in ieopar-

We understand, by gentleman who
has conversed with Gen. Dearborn,
since his return from Washington,
that the General says the dispatches by
the Usage were not conciliatory, either
from France or England both parties
having refused to rescind their Orders
and that our government were deter
mined to continue the Embargo until
some change ofaffairs takes place.

The British are said to have made
liberal propositions Tor a commercial
treaty, and instructed their Minister
here to negotiate on the subject. The
English Ambassador is now at Hash
ingtOn, whittier he has recently repair
ed. The language ofthe HatelHgencer,
however, still bears particularly hard
upon the British. The federal editors
are blamed in that paper for not annu-
ally publishing the declaration Of indie
pendence. When, in fact, the publ
cation Of that instrument appears to be
more done to perpetuate the remem-
brance Of quarrel with England, than
to honor our national birthday. 1t
contains an enumeration, in strong lam
guage, of the aggressions of the King
of England, which justified our declar-
ing ourselves independent But we do
not now need such justification. We
are now independent-we have taken
rank with the nations of the world
