The petty navy OF France hare lately had|
extraordinary success in the colonies A.
bout fortnight ago, MarsiEico was literally
in a state Of famine, now, it enjoys all the a.
bunt'apee of uninterrupted commerce, mott
only BY the supplies imported in their own

By the capture of ours. On the 10Th ira

of provisions and lumber: during these ar.
rivals, the York Off guns, was lying
snug at Maraiga.and this ship, one ofhe
finest in the British navy, got ashore at that
place, on coming away, and is SO damaged
that we understand she proceeds immet'
atciy to Halifax to be repaired. We are
happy 20 find lhat government has al lengtn
thought proper to cncrcase the wages and
privileges OF our hardy tars, by giving to
ihem the cigth share Of II,he prize money
formerly given to the commanders this
new regulation will, we trust, put sop to

R.sTrPS sTArEs.-It has been hint

yention is already organized. which only
waits 10 know If the embargois to be raised
at the meeting of congress. II It IS not

declare the northern and eastern states IN
dependent, and proceed to form separate
government, We know the above state
ment to be false as respects she convention =
btlt that separation has been suggested IN
the northern states, too true. Inc north,
ern and eastern states must have the P,lvi-
lege Of navigation, or perish. The de-,
struction Of commerce would as effectuahy
depopulate the New England states, as the
destruction of agriculture would the south
err sectionof the union. How would the.
middle and southern people relish Az e.nbar-
so on the plough They would not bear it,
NJ not even from Mr.. Jefferson. l.cannot
then be expected that such men as those who
raised standard OF opposition to Britain
In "a will tamely submit to starve, to graft
~ such man as Mr.. Jefferson IN 1905.
The New England people know their own
strength and conseeuence--they are apeo-
pie who wish for peace, and court It, more
than any people on earth; but when they
are once reused, they are irresistible; the
world combined could net conquer them
and if they once declare themselves sepa-
rate na.ion, tie union VII be broken, never
to be repairecs.

It is rather degrading to have to SO to
foreign countries for information on our
own affairs but SO silent are our knowing
ONES that we are oftentmes obliged to 30
it, or remain ignoran. Of our most interest
ing concerns. The National Intelllgencer
has told us our government has made all
offer to the British Cabinet to raise the en-
barge as it respects Great Britain, On their
resembling their orders in council as respects
us. To this we are told the British viii not
agree. A London article tells quite dlt-
ferent story: 1t is there stated, " that the
American government have expressed their
opinion that the embargo will not be re-
moved. or even relaxed, unit. the orders IN
council are rescinded /; nay more, until the
American flag shall be guaranteed from the
molestasion of our vessels npQn any pre-
tence whatever We could wish to believe
our own papers, especially those which are
considered as official but we are at this
time, Judging from all circumstances, obllg-
ed to declare we believe the statement In the
London paper will be found the most cor
rect. Ihis statement gives the very ground
on which Mr.. Jefferson took his stand long
ago he refused to lay Mr.. Monroe's trea-
ty before the senate on this very principle,
as appears from his own words in his letter
to that gentleman, published this day. Mr.
Jefferson seems to be determined to make
no terms with the British, Until they relin-
quish what they term the right Of search
this Britain will never give up while they
have a ship able to swim, or a seaman able
to splice a rope; of course no accommoda-
ton can be made with England while Mr..
Jefferson or his party have the management
Of our affairs.

The following plain but sensible remarks
an the state ofthe British w. India Islands,
were handed 10 us yesterday BY an Ameti-
can, who arrived here in the schooner Eli
"a, last from St. kits. He told us that ne
had penned them on his passage bntreques-
ted us not to mention his name--but the IN.
formation he has communicated is OF such
high Importance to the future interests OF
this country, that he will, we trust, excuse
us for giving his name to those who may
ask for it, as, by this means, we shall not be
accused Of fabrications, and, besides, such
important information from an authentic n,
source, from actual observation, VIII no
doubt, have some effects upon the delloera-
tons of Congress-they are facts worthy
of their attention.

SINCE the arrival Of the Hope, the Off
cial paper has declared that the offers which
our administration have made to foreign
powers are Sc Just and reasonable, that eve-
~ true American will rally round the 60
vernment.
We have always expressed our doubts
whether such an offer as was represented III
the administration papers had ever been
made, und we now declare our disbelief OF
the story altogether! 1t is incredible. that
such terms were offered & refused by Eng
land for they absolutely grant all that ma
ton ever required from us--and something
more. twill be seen, if ever the whole OF
those negotiations are laid before congress,
and submitted TO the public, that the offer,
as stated in the National Intelligencer, has
never been made or if made, that it has
been accompanied with conditions which IN
VOWED the surrender on the part OF Eng
land, of rights which she is known to have
cons dered essential to her safety. Whoe-
yer will mark tue end of this business will
be convinced howllttle faith is due to the Of
fetal paper OF tie administration.
s. It may BE asked, why should the adml-
nis,ration wish TO originate deception,
which will be so soon detected The Vlrg:-
ria election takes place next week, and viii
be over before the truth can come to light
meantime, tie story as told by the lntei,l-
gencer may have an effect ON the election ia
vorab!e to Mr.. Madison.
The real friends Of their country in Vir-
GINA should reflect, that according to their
own acknowledgements the present admins
tratioa cannot make terms WI th either France
or England That under their guidance
we must have war with either France OF
England or botl---or an eternal embargo
If ehere were no other reasons tor desiring
a change OF rulers, those surely arc su1lci-
ent to engage the most active exertions Of
every real patriot, to produce change. |.
the Monroe ticket succeeds in Virginia, he
will be President by large majority. The
fedoralists can have no party views IN wish
ing his election; they merely desire a
change Of rulers, that the country may have
chance Of being saved.

TIE llii.BAPGO.-Our correspondents
in the northern parts OF the union are urging
us 10 inform them whether or not the en-
bdrgowili be raised at the meeting OF con-
gress. We eandidly confess that, though
we are at head quarters, we are not enough
IL the secrets of thegreat marquee, Or as the
red men of New York and Baieimore would
say, the great wlgwam, to determine the
point. W., however, have an opinion, and
that's, that the embargo will be raised.--
Not that we think the administration have
any desire to raise il, but because tie people
ottthe L. States will bear it no longer. The
administration are not quite SO infatuated as
not to know that the idea of the embargo
being raised at the meeting of congress is
the only thing which has kept their friends
In countenance inanv of the states. Not a
single election has taken place but the demo
Gratis have propagated stories OF raising the
embargo. In some places expresses have
arrived with news that the embargo was ac-
tualiy raised; and IN others 1t has been as
serted from the best authority that it would
soon be raised. These things shew thatthe3
minlons of the administration are aware OF
the discomfort of the people, on account of
the embargo, and that they are satisfied,
however popular they may represent the
measure, that were the people sure it would
lie ten months longer, there would not
single vote be obtained, especially in the
northern states, for our present rulers.
Again, what reason can now be assigned
tor continuing the embargo, unless we take
MIR. Jeferson's plan and make it permanent?
1t has had fair trial, and none of the adj
vantages contemplated at LAYING it, have
been experienced, or are ever like to be de- !
rived from it. 5 1t was said at first to be laid
