The following remarks are extrac-
ted from Bells Wee ky Messenger.
of very late date. Let those disor-
ganizers among us, who are continu-
ally preaching up the justice Of the
British government, and its friendship
for this country, blush on reading these
sentiments openly avowed by the in-
dependent Mr. Bell in the very heart
Of the metropolis Of England.
From the American papers which
have been laid before Parliament,
there, is every reason to suppose that
our differences with the United States
cannot be easily adjusted. The late
orders of council must have inAamed
a quarrel already, perhaps, irrecon.
cileable; and the late proceedings Of
government, in the further restraint
Of all commerce on the continent of
Europe, having pressed vet more Sc.
vereiy upon neutrals, can be deemed
to add only fuel to the fame.
There is now an end to neutral
trade altogether; and of course, as
commercial power, finishing blow is
given for the present to the hopes of

pressed; but the federal government cam
not make any complaint against the mea-
sures themselves, AMI while the u States
allow that their vessels may be visited by
England that she my drag them to her
ports and turn them from tn cir destination,
while they do NOT oblige England 10 respect
their flag and the merchandise which IL
covers-whilc they permit that power to
apply to them the absurd rules Of of block
ade which it has set up with a view of in-
jurin, France-they bind themselves by
that tolerance towards England to allow al
so the application of the measures OF repri-
sails which France is obliged to employ a
gainst her. His maiesty regrets, without
doubt, to have been forced to recur 20 such
measures: he knows also that the CONNER
cial classes may have to suffer in eonse-
quence OF them. particularly those who
having habtual relations with England, u
sing common language, and often mixing
their interests, might more frequently oc-
casion An apprehension of some cohmerci-
al connivance with the English, iHasmuch
as they would have greater facility in COW
ering it. This circumstance made it ne
cessary to use towards them precautions
more exact, and an unceasing watchfuiness,
in order not to be exposed To abuses, which
might result from less constant vigilance.
but IL is not to France, it is 60 England that
these Inconvenience to individuals ought
to be imputed. She it is who has given
the example of measures unjust, illegal and
Infringing on the Sovereignty of nations.
10 ,oblige her to renounce them it has be-
come necessary to combat her with her
own arms: in violating the rights of all ma
tons she has united them all by common
interest, and it is for them TO have recourse
10 force against her--to forbid her the
search Ga 0isite of their vessels-the ia
king away of their crew and to declare
themselves against measures which wound
their dignity and their Independence The
unjust pretensions of England wili oe kept
up as long rs those whose rights she vio-
lates are silent-and what government has
had more to complain of against her than
the United States? All the difficulties tn IT
have given rise To your reclamations, sir,
would be removed with ease if the govern
ment of the United States after Complain.
ing of theinjustice aud violence of England,
took with the whole continent the part Of
guar anteeing itself therefrom. England
has introduced into the maritime war an
entire disregard for the rights of nations /:
1t is only in forcing her to peace, that it
is possible to recover them. On this point
the interest of all nations is the same ali
have their honor and their independence to
defend.
