QfMe Embargo iQ1cs.
The public being generally apprized of
the nature of this highly important case, we
conceive it would not be unacceptable to our
readers to Sive them ar abstract of the very
able decree delivered by Judge Stephens,
after very lengthy and interesting discus
sion.
1t will be perceived that the restoration
of this vessel is altogether to be attributed
to her having been captured in Spanish wa
ter.
The peculiar situation Of our countrv--tbe
.disgraeeful attempts by our own citizen, to
render the government obnoxious, because
ot the embargo measure, and the repeated
violations Of those laws, require that every
genuine American should be at his post. The
flame Of 70 must be rckindled-fofbearanc
at this crisis would be criminal We have
enemies among us. They require to be
watched.
IN support of this libel SAYS the Judge, IL
in full testimony, dat the schooner Mart,ie

delivered to the Legislature of South Ca

md Gcnilcmcn Qf he
House IF RefresentatiUeS

Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen otthe
House IF Representatives,
ALTHOUGH at the time when YOU adj
journed, you had intended the present sessi-
on should be entirely devoted to the amend
ment of the constitution, yet the important
events which have occurred in your recess,
and the awful and alarming differences they
have accustomed in our public situation,
will, no doubt, claim your early attention,
ana such provisions and regulations as shall
appear best suited to the eventful crisis.
You are, indeed, convened to deliberate
and decide upon the important concerns of
our country, at a very interesting crisis OF
our public affairs. The pacific disposition
invariably manifested and pursued by the
wise & faithful administrators of the general
government, has hith erto succeeded in shel-
ding us from a participation in those calami-
ties and miscries with which Europe is scour-
ged. Such conduct had inspired sanguinc
hope that measures dictated by as pirt so con-
cilliatory, would have been attended with ex-
emptious from foreign insult, depreciation or
war: But the unprovoked and unpreccdent-
ed attack upon the frigate Chesapeake bv
a British vessel, the understandable preten-
sions of Great Britain to arrest and bear a.
way the scamcn from our shipsupon the ocean,
to intercept and destroy our lawful commerce
with nations with whom she is at war, have
been followed by such slarng infrinecments
OF the established principles of the law of ma
TORS, avowed and pTaCtised both by G. Bri-
tain and France, as have seriously impair
ed the rights wounded the honor, and as
sailed the independence Of our country.
These events have diminished the hope of
maintaining peace, notwithstanding the uni
form observance Of justice and good faith to-
wards other nations, and have produced the
necessity Of rcsorting TO energetic measures
The proceedings adopted on the emer-
gency by our national legislature, will be
found upon an unprejudiccd consideration,
not only impartial towards the contending
nations of Europe, but also well calculated
to protect our mariners and preserve the
merchandise Of our citizens, should an
appeal to the sword become inevitable
IN such an event, property of an immense
value viii be secured in our country, which,
but for the embargo, might have enriched
the very enemy with whom we may have to
contend. The cause Of misunderstanding.
and obstacles to amcable adjustment, aris-
ing from captures under blockading DEGREES,
and from impressmcnt of seamcn, will also
thereby cease to be multiplied the we'll
known facts, that our commerce is essential
to Great Britain, that che commercial enter
