MR.. ADAMS LETTER.

we have read with ineXpressible pleasure
the answer OF Mr.. Adams to Mr.. chickering's
letter. We must excuse ourselves from an
attempt to give an abstract of it. 1t will be
read by every patriot that can obtain CO.
py, and with the deepest interest. AS
these Gentlemen are Senators of Massachu-
sets, an appeal of the one to his native state
against the measures of the other, was . de-
mand OF such vindication, as it was in the
power OF Mr.. Adams to give. And while the
Vindlcation amply Justifies Mr.. Adams in the
part he has taken, it fixes upon MIR. Pick
ering those charges which we thought our
selves bound to make, that his letter did no
honor to his understanding, and that what
ever efforts might be made to give circula-
tion to ms letter, he must be condemned and
despised by all our patriotic citizens. :,
Mr.. Adams has explained the true cha
racter of Mr.. Pickering's appeal in all its
tendency. He has followed him in all his
statements with power of refutation, that
leaves no doubt behind. He carries us to
the moment of the Embargo, and with one
great truth, satisfies us. Mr.. Roses COM
mission and the order of council of the, 18th
November =" might have been signed" to
use the appropriate language of Mr. Adams,
- with the same penful of INK The sub
Ject OF impressuient is treated in the lest
manner, by assembling all the circumstan-
ces, well known to US, from the part we
have been obliged to take, in order to reco-
yer some of the children of our best families.
The negotiation appears to oblige the humi-
liation of our nation without one nope from a.
ny promise made from Britain for such a vo-
luntary degradation. May the American
public have eternal gratitude to Mr. Adams
for this timely effort to save the nation" IF
we must fall, let us fall freemen.''

dities. The first, which derived their name from
having been enumerated in the navigation and
some other subsequent acts, were confined to
the market ofthe mother country alone. The,
last night be exported directly to other countries
in British or Plantation ships Among these
last, were some of the most IN, boytans pgoducti-
ons OF this country 8; asgrain of all sorts, h,r6e,
salt Provisions, fish &c. No thanks to G. Britain
tor this privilege; because it was dictated
by no regard TO the interests of America, but
bya mercantile jealousy lest most of these ar
ilcles should interfere too much with the pro-
duce OF the mother country. This jealousy Was
carried SO far, that in the ordinary state of the
law the expectation to Great Britain of all grain,
except rice, and OF salt provisions, was actually
prohibited
AT first, the enumerated commodities
could be exported to all parts of the world But
ny the 9th OF George 5, c. 50, they were conin-
ea, rs to the European market, to the countries
that he South OF Cape Fiaisterre. Those
parts OF Europe" says the shreMd A. Smith,
- were not manufacturing countries, and we were
less Jealous of the. colony ships carrying home
from them any manufactures which could inter-
fere with our own"-, ,--,
In respect to trade, therefore, the II, S. are
attempted to be reduced to more humiliating
state or colonial servitude by the late British or
ders OF council, than when they were the de-
pendent provinces of G. b. We cannot export
single article to Europe without the almost GER
| tam nsk OF capture or confscaton. All our ex-
ports must previously pass through British Gus
tom-houses and by this time it is probably enact
ed by Parliament, that our cotton must pay duty
or Sd per pound--amounting says the Chancel-
loroi the Exchequer, nearly to prohibtion--be-
fore it can be shipped to the continent How
Will the southern gentlemen like this impo:
sition upon their great staple :-Thanks to the
Embargo it has hitherto preserved the nation
from the degradation of submitting to this en-
croachment. 1t has saved cur purse, and it has
| saved our national credit
Every citizen of the H. States Commanding
ship or vessel of the u S. who submits to this
usurpation by voluntarily accepting any licence,
or paying any tax, in conformity to these British
ORDERS deserves to lose the name and privileges
OF an American Citizen-.E
