sit is reported here that an English ex-

Last evening arrived at this port the brig
Inca. Me.sick, in 90 days from the Isle of
Svl,, Rrnaark, which place he lift on the
sch Of July We have been favored with
file of Copenhagen papers down to the
18Th Tu!y, from which we shall give trans

Capt. Mezck informs, that he had read
the French bulls tin giving an account OF
very severe engagement between the en-
.peror Napoleon and the archduke Charleo.
The French crossed the D nube on three
bridges which were previously completed,
and commenced the engagement en- she %
Of July. The battle continued toar days
successfully. The archduse Charles was
badly wounded. and fl d WIKI 10000 men
into Bohemia, leaving 10000 Austrians Oh
the field Of battle. The French stated their
own loss to be comparatively trlflng. On
the syh of July an armistice was concluded
for four wee ks, and Bonapartt was in pos
session OF all the strong holds in Austria
1t was not known where the emperor OF
Austria was. The Russians occupied a
great part of Gallicia, but had not formed a
junction with the French.
A few Ens|ish ships Of war, with 800
troops on board, took possession OF Cuxha-
ven the same dav the battle commenced be-
tween the French and Austrians, and as
there were no French troops in the neigh
borhood, were still in possession, from
whence they carried on great smuggling
tra,.e with the continent.
Captain nj. had not heard any thing of
the grand English expedition sailing, or of
it's destination.
The Danish government appear very
friendly towards American vessels arriving
in safety in Danish ports, but their priva-
teers take every American vessel they come
across whether bound to Danish ports or
not. Their privateersmen, in conjunction
with corrupt Judges, are complete pirates,
over whom the government exercises very
title control. These privateers generally
mount from one to four guns, and with a
small force are easily resisted.
Out of 100 American vessels so called,
arriving in Russia SO had been condemned.
The Inca sailed from this port immedi-
ately after the raising of the embargo, and
arrived at Tonningen the beginning of May,
from whence she proceeded to Sylt. In con-

begun in that quarter.
Such were the French papers In that case,
and now let us see the amount OF the GREAT
and increasing dangers, which threatened
our vessels, our seamcn aud our mercnaa-
die.
In the letter of the 9Th of February, SOB,
from Mr.. Madison to General Armstrong,
speaking of the Berlin decree and the empe-
ror's decision thereon, Mr.. Madison says
8. The conduct of the French government,
in giving this extended operation to its de-
cree. and indeed in issuing one with such an
apparent or doubtfulimport against the rights
ofthe sea, is the more extraordinary, mas
much as the inability to enforcei it on that e
cement, exhibited the measure in the light OF
an empty menace ~
And in his letter of the 25th of March, to
Mr.. Erskine, Mr.. Madison, speaking of the
same decree, says, that S France was with
out the means to carry itinto effect against
the rights and obligations of a neutral ma
ton"
Thus then we see the presidents " great
and Increasing dangers with which our yes
sells, our seanen and our merchandise were
threatened on the high seas and elsewhere"
from the French decree and its extended O.
peration, rested on4what he through his Sc
sretary, Mr.. Madison, has since pronounce
ed " an empty menace,' project " which
France had not the means to carry into et-
feet"

Referred to committee Of the whole to-

The unfinished business Of yesterday, on
the bill for tie division of the Indiana ter
ritory, was then taken UP. A motion was
made that il should lie upon the table, and
lost.
Those who Yesterday and to-day sup
ported the bill, were Messrs. Thomas, Lyon,
Sloan, and w. Aston. Those who oppos-
ed it were Messrs. Macon, Eppes and &c.
Jackson.
The arguments in favor Of the bill gene
rally wcre-that the line OF delnarkation
which the Wabash affords between the cas-
tern and western portions of said territory,
added to the wide extent of wilderness
country which separates the population in
each, constitute reasons in favor of divi-
sion founded on the soundest policy and
conforrnable with the natural situation Of
the country; and the vast distance from the
settlements west of the Wabash to the pre-
sent territorial government, renders the al-
ministration of justice burthensone and ex-
pensive in the highest degree amounting
almost to denial of justice that the scat
tered situation of the settlements over this
extensive country, enervates the power of
the executive, and renders it almost impos-
sible to keep that part of the government in
order; that the division Of the territory is
matter of right under the ordinance, and the
inconvenience to be removed by an imme
diate separation, would encourage the spec
dy population of the territory that there
are about $4,000 inhabitants in the terrific
ry OF Indiana, and 200 souls betwixt the

Or. Ebbes's Speech continued. |

1lf. Ep5esS obeech continued.
The circumstances which produced the
embargo are well known but the misfor-
tune is that gentlemen will not state the
question fairly, but cover it under heap
Of lumber, calculated to conceal from the
people the real question. Let the question
be fairly put, and there is not man in
America (always excepting old tories) who
would not say that they viii resist. What
IS the real state of our aifairs-and | will
not stop here to discuss who began FIRST
If we mean to assert & maintains our rights,
it is totally imnaterial to us who conmenc-
ed, though on this subject l might refer
gentlemen to the letter 81 Mr.. Hammond
in 1898, in which he takes the ground now
maintained, and asserts the right OF Great
Britain to blockade the whole of France
The statement of our situation is simply
this-G. Britain SAYS if YOU 60 to France,
or her dependencies without a license from
her, your property shall be liable to seizure
and condos nation. France says if you have
visited Britain or been visited by a Briton,
your vessel shall be liable to seizure and
con6scation. Now take the dependencies
and allies OF France and England, and what
remains Your commerce is as complete
" blockaded by these DEGREES as the port of
BOSTON in the revolutionary war-and when
gentlemen come forward and tell you that
your ships are rotting IN your ports, and
the country suffering, and attribute this to
the embargo, is ii lair ? Is it manly Is
it not an assertion materially variant from
our present situation call upon any man,
federalist, guild, or Of what denomination
he may be, to answer whether these DEGREES
hade not DESTROYED our commerce and vet
the destruction is imputed to the embargo.
At the time the embargo was laid, our ex-
ports amounted to one hundred and eight
millions annually. Taking all the countries
with whom we could trade, throwing Great
Britain out of the question, with whom I
contend that no man can be willing to trade
under existing circumstances, & our whole
commerce does not amount TO seven MILL
ons and half--a commerce not equal to
one half of the exports from Massachusetts
alone and give Massachusetts her relative
share of one fifth of this seven millions Of
commerce, and this is all she can have to
support her scamen, to enrich her mer-
chants whom the embargo is said to have
destroyed. This is the real situation of the
country. Do the people Of the eastern por-
ton of it know it No, sir, it is kept from
them; they cannot find them in the speech
es of their representatives No. sir there
it is all embargo, the favorite hobby-horse
of federalism. ase
Having thus attempted to shew that it
was not my intention when the embargo
was laid to consider it as a permanent naea-
sure, / will proceed to state some circum-
stances which have rendered this measure
less operative than it would otherwise have
BEEN. The embargo had two objects, to

Gather II cur casital, and 10 withhold sup
plies from our enemies. The hrst object
has been completely anwered, and there IS
not period at which it would be more ne ne
cessary to adhere to it than the present mo-
ment. To withhold supplies from their
enemies is now more important than ever.
The nation must be put in state to meet
war.
1t is in vain br gentlemen to attempt to
delude the people. The DEGREES OF England
and France must be withdrawn, or we must
FIGHT; it cannot be avoided. We have de-
clared we will not submit, and there is no
species of ehectual resistance but war.
We have right to carry our produce TO
every place on the globe whose municipal
regulations do not forbid it. France has
right to ,interdict our trade with herself,
but none to interdict it with her enemy
Great Britain has right to exclude us from
her ports, but none to compel us to 60
there. What other course ask can the =.
States take but war, or submission to these
DEGREES Let gentlemen examine the va
rious proposals brought forward. It's I'M
material whether we pass a law that we Will
refuse our trade to the places left BY the de-
crees, or suffer it to be SO reduced by the
DEGREES themselves. In either case we sub
mit-we allow foreign nations to tx the a
mount of our commerce-to destroy the
fruits of our industry and legislate for US.
Now, sir, do not believe that there Is
native American in any part OF the United
States who is disposed to submit ;-and
rejoice that in this house there is no division
of sentiment. Gentlemen have publicly de
clared that they will not submit. In what
form then will they resist? We have tried
paper long enough. 1t is time either to ex-
ert the energies OF the nation or to give up
our rights and again become the colonies OF
Great Britain. am not for that. | have
no other interest than that in land, by the
