MIR. Ehtes said, it appeared tina, the once
ton Of suspension of the non.importation act
was very different from that of suspension
Of the embargo. The former was measure
of coercion on Great Britain, and whether il
had that effect or net, he believed at the time
that the law was passed, that the only wavjD
which We could operate on that power was
commercial restrictions. And he felt now
free to declare, that ii ample reparation were
made for the outrage on the Chesapeake, if
the DEGREES were Withdrawn and every injury
.redressed, that he would hold on upon tls
non-importation act so long as the impress.
ment OF our seamen remained. Whenever
you take off this, said he, you have nothing TO
enforce your rights as to impressment nor as
o-that system of commercial pillase which
has been adoptedby Great Britain. We kncv
that the embargo was imposed as a measure
OF safety. 1t was to give US time to make
preparation to meet the event. 1.-THE DEGREES
which produced the embargo are withdrawn
tie embargo may be Withdrawn with propri-
ETY.. But let me ask any gentleman whether
he believes that any circumstance which pro.
duced the nen-importation act will be remov.
ed " neither they believe that Great Britain
will give up her system OF impressing seamen!
If he does, let him look at the course she has
adopted.
