DE1foCRAY .dGAINST COMMERCE..
Most of the writer's on the side of the present
administration have uniformly denied the
charge, I" that MI Jefferson and his adher-
ents were unfriendly to commerce. The
Aurora, certainly the most influential de-
mocratic paper in the country. appears to
have come out boldly and wlst.out disguise,
in a direct war against the commercial in
terest, and consequently, against the Far
mers and the Mechanics Without mer-
camille enterprise whence viii the thousands
ofiaie and suffering citizens procure en-
ploynent The following is the proof of
hostility to commerce: We do not receive
the Aurora.

Outrage aton Outrage.-The ship Grace,
Linzee, from Boston bound TO Lcghorn with
i'll sight of that port was taken into Ferajo,
island Of Eloa, in consequence of two Of the
sailors making oath that she had been spoken
by an English cruizer off Malaga, though the
captain and mate declared the contrary; and
the papers not being indorsed as they must
have been, according to the british blockad-
ing decree, if she had been spoken, substan-
tiated the declaration of the captain & mate.
These are the first fruits of the decree of
Bonaparte, encouraging perjury of seamen,
that he may rob Americans of their property.
It will be recollected that we lately published
this decree, offering one third of the ship and
cargo to any of the crew who would swear,
that they had been spoken by British cruz

Bonaparte's paper in this city has COM
menced discussion upon the subject Of TO-
reign commerce in which the same senti-
ments are expressed as are found IN thep1ris
Moniteur, and the same as We fear prevailed
In the cabinet Of Washington when the EN-
barge was laid. The influence of foreign COM
merce is said to be {. the most serious dan
ger, the most frequent affection, the mos: a
farming circumstance in our civil and politl
Cal existence it is like disease that under
mines the foundation Of life, and makes such
constant, various, and insidious assaults on
or civil existence, that it MUST BE ERA
DICATED, or we perish
In this The paper of his majesty, the empe.
ror and king, speaks the honest language of
.andor and frankness, and without disguise a
VOWS the doctrine that foreign commerce
" muas be eradicated" 1t was to eradicate it,
that the French and Spanish DEGREES were
issued; for tic same purpose we have reason
to believe tie embargo was laid and to in
duce the people to submit to it, bonaparte is
employing his paper here, in endeayoring to
persuade them that it wiz promote their own
prosperity.
We are glad that the empcrour and
king has directed the doctrine 10 be pub
hckiy preached at this particular time:
because the present sashenai2s of foreign
commerce, by means of the embargo, will
enable the farmers and mechanics ofthe conn-
try to form some opinion of what would be
the consequences Of totally " eradicahng" it,
as the. creatures of Bonaparte avowedly wish.
That they viii accomplish their object, unless
the peO,le Withdraw their confidence from
them, and put wiser and better men III their
places, there IS no longer any room to doubt.

The NORTHERN MARKFT

Since the enacting Of the Supplementary
Embargo Law, winch prohibits the expor-
alton Of produce from the United States, by
land as well as BY sea, the upper part Of
this State, Vermont, and New-York are
struck with an almost universal sentiment
of disgust and horror at the measure. In
the quarter Of the country above named, the
value Of produce, principally ashes, were il
not for the late deadly stroke TO our com
merCe, might be estimated on a moderate
calculation, AZ nearly milien Of dollars
This might have been easily transported to
the Canadian markets and sold for ready
cash. A portion Of our industrious farmers
would ther. have avoided, in some degree,
the general calamity which now pervades
the Union. But this privilege was too gooG
to be long enjoyed. From an obSequlous-
ness to the nod Of Napoleon, or from de
sire instead Of alleyiating, to increase the
public grievances, or from some motive,
which has never been disclosed, and which,
from this circumstance, is probably equal
detestable with the others, our Legislator,
have now extended the EHt6argoi1g system
into every nook, corner, and plg-pen Of tht
country. To what consequences such meas-
