Then we cannot have an embargo unless
my feelings mislead me, and il we 60 70
war in defence of this trade we must build
fifty men Of war with al the train Of expen-
sive cencomitants. A small force would
be a mere present to the enemy. Are we
prepared to meet such dis bursemenss,! !
think not. Let us then like men OF sense,
finding ourselves beset with some dlthcul-
ties, and inconvenience act for the best. II
we cannot realise our fondest wishes, we
can attain something. Better days may yet
dawn upon our republic. Like the hon IN
repose she gathers strength. We will, by
and bye, take bolder ground. In the mean
time let us not seize such as will fall from
under,us. Besides, if We continue our IN.
terdictiye measures towards France we OF
course cannot pursue the colonial trade. The
one concession. involves the other. :
We once had a. treaty with England
which mortified many of our most distln-
guished statesmen, and best patriots. Yet
behold the fruits !! Wealth, Improvement,
prosperity, such as no other can or ever
could boast! Perhaps, sir, have obtrud-
ed upon you and my fellow-citizens opinl-
ons which you may disrelisD, perhaps | am
utterly out Of fashion, or wrong from begin
ming to end. If I make no prosely.es |
console myself with the persuasion that
shall do 10 mischief. 1t is fit that citizen
|, of republic speak the truth to his peers
speak what strikes me on this subject n
those who will listen, and would, had |
consideration enough, make my voice pene-
/ trate into the cabinet of my country. If
after all the overtures of the. British govern
ment should prove abho,rent to the citizens
of the United States, or inadmissible by 60
vernnent let us not be slack in marching
with the constituted powers to the dernier
resort. We have freedom in its pGrest
practicable state, let us cherish it with ar
dor our chief nasistrate is patriotic and
wise, where he leadselet us follow, and let
MS pray that heaven may transfuse through
our legislative bodies wisdom to discern
the genuine interests of our commons and
highly favored country.

SARDINIA.
Several vessels, it seems, are fitting cut
for Sardinia, an island IN the Mediterranean
about $50 miles distant from Leghorn-A
correspondent asks-"What are the present
relations of the king ofSardinia with .he bel
lgerents" The question involves the histo-
ry of its concerns in the wars which sprung
out ofthe conferences at Pavia in July, 1871
and at PilnitZ in August of the same year
nay, the conduct of the Sandman king in the
recent wars, goes back forits causes into ear
lier history-into the History gifts existence
as kingdom.
No manof sense will suppose that the ear
ly causes of the revolution in France, nor of
the combination which it has to resist, are
idisregarded in the political views Of those
who now rule the destinies of Europe. A
simple anecdote illustrates the fact, The
French emperor has recently given the mill
tary title OF duke (dRrD to generals who
have been distinguished in the revolution
Kellarmn, is created duke of YdIn1y, III con-
sequence of signal display oftalent at Val.
my, village ofChampagne, in which by a
happy promptitude and perfect COUP d'o.
rim he brought up battery of artillery and
so disposed and supported it with light troops
and infantry as with small force TO frustrate
the march Of the whole Prussian army
This action took place OH the goth of Sep
TENDER, 1872, and although 10000 cannon
Shot were fired, cost no more than 400 mer
killed. The trooDs under KelIerman were
as raw as the Spaniards, but their com man.
der was man understanding and we see
! in his promotionto the title Of duke of Valmy
a recognition Of the fact that Keilerman o.

through the fence and gnawed off green
gourd vine Is it not somewhat astonish.
ing that this astonishing child never discov-

But to return. Had those good old ladies
lived in this our day, they would NOT, per-

nulty Of man and sagacity of chlld-lhey
would have considered vince barrow as a
mere nothing in mechanism, and Jossa's sa-

K has not been long since 1t was consid-

w of the Supreme Cour, of the state of De-
laware, when sitting at Newcastle at the April
term last past, did appoint the subscribers as
sshees Of Samuel Ewing an nsolvent debtor
then and there discharged, for the use of them
selves and his other creditors, on his having
signed TO us for that purpose all his estate real
and personal and his rights and credis-We
therefore notify the creditors of the said Samuel
Ewing to exhibit their accounts or otner demand
against him to the subscribers OF either OF them,
that they may be e','i,led to dividend within
two weeks from the date hereof, and all those
who are in any way indebted to the said Samuel
Ewing are desired to make payment within the

accounts speedily, and longer indulgence cannot

who was s:!ected as t.. bearer. It seems to
be rational deduction that Mr.. .. was :
ectcd as the bearer CT instructions of a Saose-
qurut date, also possibly Of confidential ma
tnr-, and therefore not published.
About the time that Mr.. Oakley sailed also,
the ministerial speakers in Parliament and the
ministerial prints conveyed the idea that the
British ministry confidently expected an amcable
adjustment of all differences with Amer Ca
Did they expect il from the instructions now
published Did they expect it from the requi-
stion OF humilita,ing conditions from US, in
consequence OF which they would do US the
favor to tax us no lorger The idea is absurd
In short, it is evident that these were not the
only instructions given TO Mr. Erskine, although
they might have composed that part of them
