"a great deal has been said, and
continues to be said, in the democratic
papers, about an exaction Of tribune by
Greal. Britain, in order TO keep up the
irritation against that nation in haracu-
tar, although every one acquainted with
the subject must know, that in one Of
the cases in which the British require
duties, the vessel and cargo would in
France, be co1fscated. That is, a yes
SCI from France may come direct from
thence 10 England, take a clearance,
and proceed TO .AnlerTca, without being
liable to capture by a British cruizer.
Whereas, vessel from England, that
should go to France, would be seized
and condemned on her arrival and
if she attempted to proceed direct from
England to a port in the United States
she would be liable to capture by
Preach cruizer. We arc the vindica-
tors of no foreign nation but we can
not see under the above circumstances,
why all our wrath should be directed
against one, while the other escapes
without censure on that score. Again,
their demand of duty in the above case,
cannot be repeated In many instances,
because there are few vessels to come
from places under NAPoLEoN's con-
trout and the number cannot be In
creased under the present order of
things. If the British have a right 10
issue their Orders Of Council, they
have a right to modify them. All the
arguments therefore should be direct
ed against the orders, not to the non
sence of tribute, just to gull the peo-
pie. If England, on the ground Of
retaliation of the Berlin decree, had
a right to say all vessels bound 10 or
from France, &c. should with their
cargoes be condemned, he had certain
ly right to say one 9Th or one 4th Of
such vessels should be condemned.
The other circumstances In which the
duty law operates, is on neutral vessels
bound to France, sc. and with regard
to this also, most of the foregoing re-
marks will apply. No vessel from
England is admitted into France, &c.
therefore none can be liable to this
tribute. When the French DEGREES
are rescinded, the British Orders IN
Council will be, and as the duty iazvs
are founded on the Orders, they will
fall of course. Although this is well
known to persons acquainted with the
subject, yet our administration play
upon this string, as if commerce was,
IN rs ordinary course, interrupted by a
sudden requisition Of England, that no
American vessels should 60 to any part
Of the world, without FIRST comingtoE En-
gLand,and payingtribute All these ar
engagements, as well as that regarding
licences, were seriously intended as
ameliorations Of the Orders in Council.
But our people are deceived, because
the democratic editors, Try 10 Serve
their harty flHr71Oses in their faragralfhs,
instead of giving correct information.

A correspondent of the Norfolk
Ledger supposes that the embargo
has cost us already 100 millions, and
will cost us the same sum, if con-
tinued another year. He therefore
proposes to give France twenty mil
lions to take off her DEGREES, and the
British retaliating orders will drop as
a consequence. But to prevent any
grumbling, he advises that the gift
should be masked under pretence Of
purchasing from Joseph the KING OF
AMERICA, one of his provinces !!

The National Lnteiligencer Of the 2lst SAYS,
f" with France we have commercial trea-
ty. Il was consequently unnecessary to
enter into any discussions with her on that
score. Our yexations from the Impress
ment OF our Seamen arose exclusively from
England. EInace does not, and never has,
asserted q right to impress OUR seamen."
Is our having commercial treaty with.
France, reason that we should have no dis
cusSion when that treaty is broken by her
although the breach "a treaty is generally
considered just cause OF war The French
DEGREES are known to be violations Of the
Treaty with us.
And why, Mr.. SMITH, do you endeavour
to have it believed, that Britain has assert
