This being the day fixed FOR the discussi-
on of the following resolution oFeredbv Mr..
.ailhoRse.
RESOLVED, That it is expedient that the
act, entitled !" An act, laying an embargo on
all ships andvcssels IN the ports and harbors
of the u. States !" and the several acts sup
Elementary thereto, be repealed, srsi fhata
committee be appointed 70 prerarc and re-
port bill for that purpose.
The Senate took UP the subject.
Mr.. HILLH0USE, opened the debate.
When the reporter entered the Senate cham
Der. Nj. Hillhouse had been speaking, for
a few minutes, ard was then discussing the
effect which the embargo had had upon
France, and the light which it was viewed
by her rulers. He alluded to the deciarati-
On. OF satisfaction that this measure, contain
ed in late French expose, and made many
observation. tending to shew that it was not
a. measure Of hostility or coercion, as app,i-
ed to France.
On England ithad little or no ELECT
Her resources were immense. II deprived
Of supply OF grain here, she could obtain
It elsewhere, = nc Dal3ary powers were
at war with France and at peace with Eng
land, who might thence obtain wheat in any
quantity she pleased. Great Britain he
said was a nation with the whole world be-
fore her; her commerce spread over. every
sea, and she had access to almost every
port and clirnes. Could America expect to
starve this nation TWAS farce, an idle
farce. As to her West-India islands they
raised Indian corn all their sugar plantati-
,ons could be converted into corn fields, and
would any man say that they would starve
because they could not get superhne -four?
Was this necessary OF life without which
they could not subsist! On the contrary a
great proportion Of the American people
subsisted on it, and enjoyed as good health

ed on it to Mr.. Erskine, witt, an iptiInation
that | should not omit it in my observations
to you.
g The French decree said to have been
issued at Bayonne has not yet reached this
country. Such decree, at such time, has
serious aspect on the relations Of the two
countries, and will form heavy item in our
demands Of redress. 1t is much to be re-
gretted at the same time that any OF our
vessels, byneglect;ns to return home, and
conforming to the arbitrary regulations Of
one belligerens, should expose themselves
to TIE arbitrary proceedings of another. SO
strong and general AZ indlgnation seemspar-
ticuIarly to prevail here against the Ameri-
cans in Europe who are trading under Bri-
tish licenses, and thereby sacrificing, as far
as they can, the independence Of their ceun-
try, as well as frustrating the laws whiclli
were intended to guard American vessels &
mariners against the dangers incident to foe
reign commerce, that their continuance IN
that career ought to be frowncd upon, and
their return home promoted in every proper
manner. Ii appears by information from
our consul at Tansiers, that great numbers
ofourvessels are engaged Tfa trade between
G. Britain and Spanish ports, under iicenc-
es from the former, and that the experiment
proves as unsuccessful as tits dishonorable;
the greater part OF them being either arrest
Cd in port, orby French and Spanish cruis-
ers."
