REMOVAL OF THE EMBARGO.

Our information upon this subject ap-
pears to be doubted by our friends at New
York. They cannot but know that we have
better means ofasees tanning facts upon this
subject than themselves, and we know that
they do not suspect us Of the intention or
the wish to decelye them-Ihe statement
OF single fact will convince them that we
may berlght. Ihenezo bplementayy embargo

tempered 7lon-i1tercon,se zOithE nglaA On
that point assurance will be made doubIy.
sure. Those laws will be general in their O.
peration, upon the face OF them, but every
one knows how easy thing it has become
TO grant dispensing powers as we'll as despo-
tic powers OF every other species,to the pre-
sident Of the United States. Surely the po-
Icy which VIC ascribe to the administration
S not more strange than was that of laying
the embargo for the ostensible purpose Of
saving our ships and sealnen, when the real
object was, as every one now knows, to
coerce Great Britain to make commercial
treaty with us On Our own terms. The
truth is that the representatives OF the peo-
pie do not ike to return to their constituents
witaout,having it in their power to announce
to them some little amelioration il their
condition; and it is thought that the pew
president will stand in need OF the populari-
ty that will result from partial repeal OF
the embargo. We may be wrong, but we
still believe we are right. Mr.. BACON, II
his speech the other day, said that we must
fight Our way upon the ocean, If we can get
there no other way. The system OF the adj
ministration is-Non-i1,tercosu,se zOith G.
Britain, aHttle trade with the rest the
zo0r!a, and the trade subjected to a CONNER
caal dictatorship.
The public willcertainly Go US the justice
to allow that all Our predictions hitherto
have been verified by events. Indeed we
have clue TO the secrets OF the cabinet,
which the cabinet itself kzssos notof, any
more than the public at large. 1t cannot
but know, however, that we have such
clue, and we have no apprehension that the
administration will change its courseto prove
US false prophets.
