ANN CARTER, daughter to the late Georg.
(sfsr, Esq.
CIR Prostecss.-We are not in the Sc.
.t,s 4 the cabinet, that is to say, we are
70, il The confidence of the administration
butus are not idle and ignorant spectators
Of passing events. We know enough of the
late dispatches from Europe to predict tina,
me Presidents next communication to Con
srss viii not be very favorableto the hopes
Of the French partizans in this country
Their very good friend the Emperor does
ro, secand their views. He considers them
of 100 little consequence to hatter. His de-
erces are perempsory. We must fight Eng
land, or expect no fsyors from him. This
!; a story that 1viH net tell zcrll in anessage /;
snd of course i, must not be told. But
whether it is told in message or not, it is
we'll kaown throughout the United States.
l.cannos be hidden from the people that
such is the case. We mus, fight far Bona
parts or against him. The question is,
shall we co7uer u1aey his mighty 7ving, or
ssser, our independence The democ,a-
tic papers are attempting to prepare the
pubiic mind for submission !; we think they
will fail in the attempt. There is too much
Of the old spirit of independence yet in our
country, to tamely submit to the mandates
ct tvrant--an adopted French tyrans too.
Our fathers zvhere are they The graves
would hardly hold them, could they know
that their degenerate sons were hesitating
whether to submie to the mandates of bas-
tard Frenchman, or TO assert their rights !!
How are the mighty fallen !
Emtarg0.-Th;s word of !" dreadful i'm
port we had hoped would no more rise up
IN Judgment against this devoted country {;
but from what we can learn it will be again
thought up a, the next session of Congress.
The French party, we are told, despair Of
being able to bring the people into war
with EhgLand, and of course the only thing
thew can do to alleviate the wrath of the
great emperor is to Law another Emtargo.-
We are likewise informed that it is the IN
Eu,ion of ,he party to make this new edi-
ton Of the embargo etfectual; 1t is not only
to be non-exportation, bur a non-importa-
ton lew. It is in fact TO be a non-social
law; to cut off al intercourse with every
part of the world-to abandon the ocean
and the shores of the ocean entirely, and
draw ourselves completely within our she'll.
It's our opinion that at tbs tirac no such
law can pass ;-caucus influence has passed
saay. But that SO ne,hing Of the kind will
heaaitatsd in Congress- there is very little
