SIR,
When the Embargo and .Non- Intercourse
policy was the subject of national discussion,
the passions men so mingled themselves in
the dispute, that there was too little room for
the calm exercise ofthe Judgment and reason.
But now that this period of irritation has pas
sed away, Experience, that great fryer of hui
man contriyances, from whose. decision there
is no appeal, has determined the question in
debate, we may be the more willing to at
tend to statements founded upon facts, which
would amply prove the wisdom and efficiency
ofthcsc measures.--Nvhen they were in opcr-
alton, we were told, by their opposers, that
they were worse than futile, embarrassing and
distressing to ourselves; and the object of
the scorn, derison and contempt of those, up
on whom they were inte nded to operate.
We were told that the power Of Britain
rested on an imperishablc basis, not to be
shaken by our attacks--that the ministers
and parliament had taken this ground--had
pledged themselves in the face of Europc,to
maintain their Orders so long as the French
DEGREES continued in force---that the British
nation had been accustomed to redeem such
plcdacs---that they had done 70. more than
what their power enabled them to enforce
and had exercised that power with mitiga-
ted vigour, The countries which were left
open to our trade by their indulgence ought
to satisfy us---and the duties and licences lc-
We'd upon our commerce were to be consid-
cred as -elsxatiOrs Of tic principle set up by

THE RETROSPECT CONTINUED.

Mr.. CANNING and his co-adiutors
we're fully sensible what an impression the
chesapeake affair had made in this country,
and that something was necessary to be done
TO prevent G.. Britain from feeling the come
.quences four just resentment. The mission
Of Mr.. Rose was therefore determined on,
and Mr. Canning told our ministers in Lon

THIRTEENTH EULLETtE OF TIE
FRENCH ARMY

EBERSBoRFF, May %, 1902.
On the night OF The Goth our bridges were
carried away by the force of the waters,
and mills which had been set afioat. We
had not time TO drive the piles and to fix the
great iron chain. Our bridge is repaired,
another will be TO morrow. On the eth we
heard OF the arrival of the army Of Italy at
Bruck. General Lauriston has fornied a
Junction with this army, not having heard
from them for twelve DAYS. The vicerov,
this campaign, has manifested a sang Tioirl
and a foresight which evince the great com
mander. JeIlachich, wholly his insolent pro-
ciamation to the Tyroesc so inflamed their
passions, has had his whole corps DESTROYED.
The archduke John, who wrote with such
excessive presumption 70 the duke Of Ragusa,
evacuated Gratz yesterday, scarcely carry
ing with him 90 or Is 900 men of the fine
army that entered Italy--his arrogance has
terminated in shame and infamy. The peo-
pie OF Italy accompanied our soldiers with
tears and benedictions. and gave them every
assistance. Their contempt and hatred of
the archdukc John were only eguailed by
their JOY at our triumphant approach. Ger
tain papers showed that they bore a great
love to the emperor, and would not accept
Offices under the Austrian government.
The regiments of Italy, who distinguished
themselves III Poland, covered themselves
with glory his charming country is ra-
Pidly progressing to the most happy destinies.
All the accounts from the Austrian army state
their loss on the 2lst and 22d, to have been
enormous; the flower of the army persisted.
The wits of Vienna say that g Gen Danube
saved the Austrian army" Tyrol and Vol
taberg are subjugated. Carniola, Stsria, Ca.

tria, are tranquilized and disarmed.

sides Is. 900 native troops, has one Dutch
and one French division; add to this two
divisions of corps of observation under
