MR. JEFFEasoN's LETTER.

Il this State OF Things, our first duty
was to Withdraw cur seafaring citizens and
properly from abroad, ard to keep at home
resources SO valuable at al times, and SO
essential if resort Must be had TO force. y
Jeyfr@on.
The first a5ozved object of the embargo
was to protect oar szataring citizens, and to
secure our property from falling into the
hands Of CIR enemies, giving to the mea-
sure .entire.y a d. d'lslve character. That it
was al offensive ac., calculated to irritate
that governments against which it was thought
20 operate most severely, was always sire
nuouslY denied by its authors, and it WAS
ccn.ended that as an independent nation,
competent TO pursue m urts for our own
security ard interest, we had right 10 re-
tire withia ourselves, and no offence could
reasonably be taken. Such was The Ian
guage OF democrats when the embargo was
h.st laid, and after lapse Of eight months
CT experiment., and The measure assuming a
yssr variety OF appearances, and being ex-
tolled as the greatest effort OF human wis
dom, calculated 20 answer SO many srholc-
some purposes, We are HOW told by Mr..
5(eyerssn, that it was merely measure q
deiencs. What arrange inconsistency !.
How often have re been stunned with de-
mocratic vocifcrations OF the energy, the
intrepidity of the measure, intended to con-
s,saln England, and force from her cor
cession of those just demands, which more
mid appeals lad failed to obtain. In
the tllness OF their fancitd dignity and
courage, the nation WAS assured that the
embargo would never be raised until Eng
land was compelledto abandon the system
of policy pursued by her ministry thus
converting the embargo into an offensive
act OF retaliation, whilst we passed over in
silence the nefalious out-ages Of France,
who was the original aggressor, and the sole
cause of the contention between Great Bri-
tain and the United States. But distinct
ground of complaint, which gave an entire
new character to their measure, grew out of
the several unnecessary, arbitrary, and Sc
we're supplemental provisions to the act,
which were not wanting for the protection Of
our sean1en and the security ofour property.
but were solely intended to distress England.
by starving her dependencies. Surely Mr..
Jefferson cannot suppose the people of the
United States as easily deceived, as to be-
lieve it was necessary to interrupt the inland

FROM LIE IN. Is oRAcLE.

The long expected revolution in
Spain has at length taken place, and
general change must naturally ensue
throughout all their dominions. It's
weak monarch. under the guidance OF
an ambitious minister, has been de-
Prived of that power, which has al

poses. A general joy has pervaded
the kingdom for the deliverance from
a yoke which became intolerable.
This great event has been compile

that of Godoy, would have become
