tinue in session all last night, and at

famous bill to enforce the Embargo.

against it, and declared that there was
no transaction ofhis lifethat gave him
so much uneasines, as voting for the
first Embargo that he was deceived,

and that no material injury would re-

ed that it is quite immaterial, for as We
are bound by treaty with Spain to suf-
fer Spanish vessels TO come to that
place, the intercourse which the British
government has in view can be carried
on through that channel"
On this subject, the Political Regis
ter (Jackson's) adds," We differ en-
tirely from the opinion, which would
admit British armed force to ascend
the dfississit2ti, under any pretext what
overland We contend that any such
attempt should be resisted by the u.
States, at any cost oftrcasure and blood
that could ensue--thc union and integ-

sci, tor which permission was obtained to
sail from this port with Mons. Tereau Whis-
kerandos' dispatches, has been turned back
for fraudulently violating the embargo
When properly developed, it may afford
another proof that the noisy and extermina-
ting embargoroons are the most insidious
and frequent violaters Of the law. What

should appear to be great g:iner by the

PREPAR.4TION kOR W.4R. s

/
PREPhR.dTION FOR U.4R.
Mr.. Story moved the enquiry of the
expediency of increasing THE NAVY
of the United States. He conceived,
he said, WAR inevitable and that the
nation ought to be placed in a state OF
warlike preparation.
Mr.. .Mchelas added, i" Uar is fnsvi-
table,"
Mr.. Lyon said ne bad voted for naval
preparations under the old admlnlstra-
tions, until it became necessary to tax
the land to support them. He had no
idea of meeting the fleet of Great Bril-
tain upon the ocean, but he tho't Com
merce entitled to protection. We
could not fight the great belligerents
upon the sea with any better prospect
of success than Don Qmrote engaged
the wind-mills. Ifthere was any pros
pect of success he would go to war
upon the ocean as soon as any one ;
but at all events he would defend the
rights of the nation on the land.
On motion of Mr.. Gardner the pro-
position was ordered to lie ON the table.

In this moment Of suffering and dis
may, when every heart trembles and
every face gathers paleness, it is con-
ISOLATION to learn from Mr.. Jefferson, by
an elaborate message to Congress, twice
as long and as eloquent as that which
recommended the Embargo, "that an
erras;ck tribe Of Ali5ame rndirns, con-
sistins ofabout dozen families" have
at last manifested sincere wish to
quit their hunting habits and become
fixed like their white brethren.
BY a telegraphick dispatch from
Governor Claiborne, his Excellency
the President, assures Congress, that
he is well advised "that this tribe of a
dozen hmilies Of erratick Indians, have
exhibited an extraordinary disposition
to svander a6ouf, from hlaee 10 Elace, ac-
eording to their convenience, without
having any. fired ha5itation uho,soevcr. /"
He recommends their case to the at
teaion Of Congress-Nero fddled
while Rome was burning-and our
Phiosophick head, after having invol.
vedthe nation unnece ssarily in a state oI
ruin and extreme suffering, mocks
their sufFerings by ca ling their atten.
tion to "an erratick tribe of dozen
families Of Indians on the banks of the
Alibama."-I had rather man would
