France because ENGLAND is weak, or fight
England because France is weak. We do
not hold our independence by such tenure.
The folly of such politics for the q. States
may be illustrated by the examples before
us in the war of 1856, and other coalitions
put down at the battles of Marengo, Aus.
terlitz ard Jena. Public debts, taxes, ar
mics, and famine and death are the fruits
of these contests.
The gentleman from Virginia Mr.. Ran
dolph) stated that there was strong war
party in this house who wanted to select Y.
Britain as their antagonist, which would
have produced alliance with France. n
gentleman from South Carolina, the partl-
cular friend of the gentleman, was be-
lieve, the only republican who expressed a
wish on this floor to make selection OF y.
Britain. The republicans were OF opinion
that honor required that we should hight
both rather than make selection while both
nations continued their aggresslons. But
If will be recollected that the federal gentle
men asserted and repeated that we ought to
make selection, and an ingenious gentle
man from Connecticut almost demonstrated
that triangular war would be all absurdity.
am in favor of an indefinite postponement.
But if we vote upon the resolution, | Will
vote tit, because appreciate the conduct
of the president. But this is an improper
place to introduce such resolution, as it
takes up much time upon subject not con-
nected with our duties Of legislation.

FROM THE NJ. Y. EVE:NYVG Posi-
CURSORY REFLECTIONS
On tic state of 9ur 5orsigw affairs.


On careful exami 4uon Of: the OnAl.s
IN Council just received, they appear todd.
fer from the former orders only in bs,1
more simple and in opening to us the u%i
to the Mediterranean, and 70 the norm
Europe; but they institute the same CON-
struc,lve hlockades as to France and hi
dependencies, as the former did in NM
cipie therefore, they are the same. It ua
pears however from more than one off,
English prints, that our ambassador at Lg.5
don has expressed his satisfaction resrt.E
ing them, and has even said that his a.
vernment would be satisfied. AS tenn
rary arrangement, it may be so; and hi
alone would afford a presumption that Tia,
are to be considered in that light only. M
deed 1t can never be supposed that this BIt
thai Great Britain is TO do as an eouiyaknS
Tor our unconditional renewal of intercolsl
with her. Mr.. Erskine said thar ms NIL
Jesty $ orders IN council of January and NJ.
vember 1907, will have been withdraw !:
respects the United States, on the tenth ,5'
OF une then next, in consequence, of ID.
assurances received from the secretary d.
state, that the President would issue hi
proclamation renewing the trade of the u
States with Great Britain. The nroclaus
ton issued, and the intercourse with Gra
Britain has been renewed .accordinely B4
now comes out a new edlio, of thc ordn
IN council which prevents our vessels frOa
trading to France, and her dependencies
lust as the former orders did. True it Is
they are in fact perfectly imperative, mas
much as our intercourse law interdics
precisely the same thing; but what bushes
has another nation TO enforce the laws 0
this !? According to the principles Of tn
French party, over and over again declared
that Bonaparte was acting the part of
friend in enforcing the embargo laws, "
might retort, England is to be considered
the same light in enforcing the non-inscI
course laws, but this would be Ianguag
unworthy federalists !; it is not ours. No
we expect something farther from the NJ
gociation now pending, nor have | the lea
doubt, that On being informed, that we mea
steadfastly to abide by the ground alread
taken, namely, that Of strictly enforcing tt
non-intercourse act against France and h
dependencies, until she rescinds her BerI
DEGREES and its supplements, Great Brlta
will Immediately revoke these last order
altogether, as respects Us. In this step NJ
Madison will meet with the support of II
nation; faction may rear it's crest, bat II
great body OF the people of adj parties an
descriptions will support him. But II
does not; If he yields TO the influence
those, who In the teeth of sound policy an
what is more, lii direct violation Of plights
faith, are endeavoring to pass law to ca
Great Britain back to the same situation
which she was previous to the late arrang
ments with hex minister here, he is last.

s" MONTREAL, Nov. 6.--It is to be hoped
that the public will now be satisfied that a

price of that article one or two pence on the

were made for clearing that road, there re
