alone if France does not revoke her de-
crees, we presume their execution will be
resisted by force, for we cannot believe that
the United States will permit SO large a
proportion of her commerce DIS that with G..
Britain and her dependencies to be inter-
dicted or interrupted without resistance.
Quitting these speculations, we cannot
withhold our entire and unqualified appro-
baton Of the wise and magnanimous con-
duct ofour government, in meeting the adj
yances of the British government. While
|. nothing has been sacrificed to idle punctiio
the honour Of the nation has been carefully
guarded, and satisfactory attonement made
for the affair of the Chesapeake, without
which no accommodation could have been
satisfactory to the feelings Of the Ameri-
can people. May this suspicious commence
ment OF Mr.. Madison's administrator, be
the harbinger OF measures, which if they do
not extinguish the spirit Of party, they may
abate some of its ferceness. No free go-
vernment can exist without party, which is
astessential to the existence of the body po-
lite, as bileis to the body natural.

The con condemnation Of our property is go

The condemnation OF our properly is go-
ing on at Paris.
The very limited extent of the new French
decree and the uniustIhable conditions on
which alone the few American ssels within
its SCOPE can avail themselves ofths permis-
sion 10 depart, is proof OF the unbsnding
adherence of the tyrant OF France to the
system by which he means to sarah
ole all maritime commerce as tar as he
has the power. Meanwhile as the arrange
ments for restoration of friendly inter-
course with Great Britain, were primitive
~ discussed and settled in London, the hap
py result will not be long in reaching his
ears. Some men affect to doubt whether 1t
will produce choler or concession. / ne
latter we do not expect, and whether we
shall experience the effects Of the former
will depend upon his calculations OF sur
mounting the new conteoleracy raised up
against him on the Continent OF Europe
Withdrawing from the estimate the latter
consideration, as We are now placed pre-
ciscly in the unequivocal situation he re-
quired us in January, 1903, to elect, we
mast suppose he would declare war IN form.
For the strenuous and continued desire OF
Great Britain to harm onise with the y. S.
has lately SO changed the relations OF the
two countries between themselves, and as
respects France, that the latter will be no
longer at a loss about the light in which she
may consider us. Nevertheless she may
still have us for friends or for enemies, &C
cording to the rule by which she directs her
own future conduct towards our much in
suited and injured country. As ALI induce
mens to take the wiser and more equitable
choice, she has only to examine the late
transactions Of the American people, Ia
their elections, to be convinced, that her
influence has been smote with palsy which
will prevent it from again raising It's auda-
cious head. i6iA.

sentiments expressed in the resolutions, a.
dopted by the patriotic citizens ofthe North
they evince strong attachment to the
constitution, an ardent love of liberty, and
an utter adherence of the despotic mea-
sures of the late administration.
DESTROYS of evincing to the world that
some sparks of the same spirits exist among

faculties TO attend a meeting at the aid place,
which WAS immediately complied with,

Resolved-That censtitutionally can meet,
And peaceably of W lightly matters treat,
And as do not fat Office seek,
Free as the winds my sentiments I'll speak,
THIS sQUALLY SEASON.
Resolved-That our late philosoptic presi-
dent,
May live in Carter's Mountain free of rent,
And if society he ever lacks,
He may peruse his last Enlbargo acts
FOR his AMUSEMENT.
Resolued-That as he made each two-penny
Collector,
As despotic and powerful as Hector,
For this most charitable act, my viii is,
That they should quick pursue this great H.
chl2es,
TO MONTICELLO.
ResoIued--That the following secret instrut-
tons be given to the collectors, for the
government Of their conduct, on their
arrival at Monticello:
You must rush in upon him like torrent,
Without bush without legal zva1raAH
Then search his hQIters, and see ifhe's brew
ing
New matter TO effect his couhtry's ruin,
SO REAR COMPLETED.
Should he be fractions and attempt resistance,
The standing army call to your assistance;
If frightened at the soldiers-say they re
sent,
Merely to try grand ea.f1etiment,
ON HIS GOOD NATURE.
Next tell him--for himself and for his heirs,
He shall be 6eund to give up state affairs
.dnd stay al home-then all his negroes count,
And take 60ndJor sic hn,es their amount
To FORCE COMPLIANCE.
Should he declare those acts were 2ass'd
'gainst Britain
And that by Bonaharte he was set on;
Tell him that lazvis--lazv and his good sense
Should prompt him to ia8siUe obedience,
WITHOUT MURMUR
Resolped-'Tis hard could not signalize my

And have my name PLACID on the office shelf

lf2M OF IS IeiH!SyLot@lla1 EIe0eIS,
The trial Of Gen. Bright and others acting
under the orders of governor Snyder, came
on before judges Washington and Peters
on Friday and Saturday last. The Jurors
William Sharswood, Matthias Corless, Ii
berty Browne, John Gallagher, Benjamin
Thaw, John Jennings, Thomas Algeo,
John Philips, Conrad Seybert, Charles
Darlington, John White, and George A.
Wray. They returned into court on Sa-
turday evening at o'clock, and informed
the court they could not agree. They were
ordered back to their room. the court adj
iourning for two hours. At 10 O'clock
they again returned, not having agreed,
and informed the court that one OF their
number had been in commissions, and that
they were divided 9to 3, and had no pros
pect Of ever agreeing. Judge Washington
told them they should have three weeks to
make up their verdict, for which purpose
the court would adjourn from time to time.
He then ordered them to be taken back to
their room under custody Of the marshall,
and humanely directed bed to be prepared
for the sick Juror, and every assistance rem
dered him, and that all should have refresh
ments. The court was then adjourned to
t9o'clock this morning. We understand
the jury agreed, upon a verdict yesterday
(Saadays)
[Fresmaa's yournel, Mcy 1.
A contest is maintaining in respect to the
measures, which have produced the pleas
ing change in the relations between the u.
States and Great Britain. If as some insist
the system of embargo has produced this
change, we ask why 1t was relaxed IN, and
the non-intercourse substituted tor the em-
barge? Iprespect to this non. intercourse
law, if it has been productive OF any advan-
tage, accident and not design has produced
it, for strange as it may appear, yet 1t is not
less strange than true, that this law passed
! without having an advocate. 1t was not an
original measure, standing alone, but grew
out of the conflict of parties, as a kind OF
compromise. 1.-THE measure proposed and
advocated by the republican party, had been
carried, war would certainly have been the
consequence. To US, it is Of no consde-
sation, from what quarter benefit TO our
country proceeds, but not thinking that
SYSTEM of embargo was ever a wise one, we
cannot approve it, because of result, which
has taken place.
We think it requires no great reflection
to perceive the policy Of Great Britain at
this time, it is certainly both wise and IL
beral, and she must be benefited IN almost
any event. The laws ofthe q. States hav-
ing placed Great Britain and France upon
the same footing, the former has seized the
occasion of compelling France either TO re-
woke her DEGREES or to meet the resentment
of the United States. If France revokes
her Berlin and other DEGREES, Great Britain
has gained her object, for her orders Were
issued in consequence Of those DEGREES
