Of, her armed vessels. Atonement has been
given, and so it is proper it should cease as
regards England, but not as regards France.
On what principle did England negotiate
That you had placed both on the same foot.
ing you had prohibited the vessels ofboth
nations and she came upon terms then
the next moment after, you take another
ground of partially towards France. If I
understood the argument, we are to rely on
the Berlin decree, that as soon as G. 3. re-
cedes from her usurpations otneutraIrights,
the DEGREES of France Cease and yet it has
been said by the same source from whence
this came, that no faith should be put in ma
tional promises, when applied to England.
I have not so much confidence IN the pro-
misses of the emperor Of France, as have
in those of England his conduct in Gers
many gives the lie to assertions OF his conf
dence-I have none in him. My amend-
naent gives the vessels Of England admisv
sion, and whenever France renews her In
tercourse, opens. our ports to. her too. pre-
sumo when the late oyertuges were made by
England it was understood her vessels
should be placed inthesame situation as they
were formerly ]; besides, we should be the.
last to setan example OF inhospitallty
may one day be involved III war, and the
ports of the world will deny Us what we re-
fuse to them now.
llr. Epbes said if the non-intercourse act
WAS strictly attended to,there would BE- seen
no departure from former principles: It had
two obiects, prohibition ofcommerclal M
tercouTse, Prohibition of armed vessels
Congress gave the president power under
certain conditions, TO renew commercial IN
tercoursc, bat none to admit the armed YES
sells. G. Britain complied with the condi-
tons Of the act, and the president renewed
suspended commerce with her and | would
not object to the ports being opened to PR
vate armed ships, So that still the interdlct
remains upon British ships ofwar as weli as
French, and hence it would be no departure
from principles to admis both or exclude
both we are not bound to open the ports e
British vessels, & that by throw7n SO inueh
more to encourage amicable negotiation, IT
we do, let the same be extended to France
to encourage similar ends. II the interdlc-
ton of French vessels arose from their burn
inc ours at sea, believe after the attack on
the Chesapeake has been atoned Tor, there
still remains more aggravatlng than those
on ths. part OF France,a aud will as loudly call
for ar inserdiction. He rebutted the asser-
ton OF Inconsistency, and declared he would
vote against the amendment.

MIR. Giles saic, He was for The n,bar-

that France would suffer considerably by its
