The news Of the American embargo in
Canada checked their calculations, and they
withheld forwarding further supplies until
Geo. Gillaspy "a Scotchman, merchant at
Montreal and concerned in the establish
ment) went to Washington. and by what
means cannot discover, obtained section
in the 4th act of the embargo law, granting
an indulgence to the n. w. trade--Mr CT.
on his road to Washington, heard OF Capt.
ID. being there, and he remained back Ga
bout philadelphia( unit, he heard ID. had
left taere-i..e. the opinion % others agrees
with Capt. Dis th = This was the cause of hiSu
being some time ON the read. II
AS soon rs he SAW that clause in the law,
he stated it worth s. iG0, COG to the Cana
d'an Macsiuac CO. ana he had no doubt but
they would have giyci. that rather than
n;lt 70 have oi)i:tined it--but he remains
entirely uniniw'rcd how cr by what means
MIR. &. did chr.;u i,.--Ehc n3w capt. late
hcus. q lianaa (who was here so.Dc tine
ago, on his vay from N!acilinitC: to Wash
( in:rton) declared that The T.. III. c., haze

TO countenauce such en- infamous monopoly of

Capt OBJ informs that few weeks after
4 Mr.. &. arrived at Mackinac this seasonal NJ.
/ Crawford, the agent of the Canada associ.
! ton at that place, sought quarrel Will, him,
and II is supposed, at the instigation Of the
| COMPANY, for The purpose of getting ritl> of a

In q duel short time since In which Camp
bell was shot on the spot
p. s. 1t appears probable the Spaiii, n at.
fairs vii! give fresh breath and duration %
| the British Orders i'll Council. The repnb-
! llcans in this Quarter OF the Union remain
ilrm IN the support of the present measures
OF our government. My personal opinion Is,
that little Of Bonahartean energy on the
| part o our government, would accelerate nc
! g2ciations en- orr foreign reatioas-t,at I'M
| less scne adjustment tkes place prior to
| the rising ct the next session of congress, it
| wonid DC necessary for them TO pass a law
sequestcring all British property in this

t'nds and new lands, prohibiting all trans

tor Ioifh damages a law passed in

and let it end rs it will in war or peace

sors, and TO poster;ty.
there is nothing to he expected from the
N'HcY, the justice, the 7viSaoR,, the liberia
| ny OF England--we think so now--we
never thought othc'wise-the policy of En-
gland exists in necessary hosfiHty to all the
Hations OF the earth, who may be DESTROYS
e promoting their own Internal prosperity
--the'war that exists, whatever name or pre-
| tehce IT may assume, is reallya war against
natHrc-fori IT is war to retard the prosr,e-
rity or every other nation in order that En-
! gland may benefit by their necessities. Eve
| ry nation that prospers, or seeks TO provide
or Its internal security and the prosperity Of
its people, is, according to British hoiicv.
at war with that policy IL is for this rea
s"n that war has been made upon so mary
n'aHHfactHring institutions in the United
otates--it was for this end that the Patterson
works in Jersey were twice bnrit down it
was this policy that destroyed the manufac.
turing establishment in this city fourteen
cars ago
Its the same policy that inpre sses our
seamcr and selzcs our ships.
II is the same policy that issued the Orders
OF COuncil in 1898 and in 1906.
1t is the same policy that assassinatcs the
indian factors of the United States on the
frontier, and holds out invitations to ON,
ships BY public proclamation, to violate our
laws.
1t is the same policy that pays news-pa-
pefs tn oppose and 70 discourage American
