Gordon's Administrators,

In this case the decision of the court
in Braxton We. WinslowI1 Wash. 81
was reviewed; doubts having been en-
tertRined whether the position there
laid down, "that tho plaintiff must
sshew by an action brought against
the executor that he was a creditor.
sand must prove by all action against
the executor and the verdict of a iu-
sry that he had committt d deyasta-
syit,' before an action could be main
tained on the administration bond, was,
under the actual case then before the
court, to be understood as requiring
an action of debt suggesting deyas-
tayit, before an action could be main.
tanned against the SECURITIES of the ex.
ccutor or administrator: In short
whether three suits were necessary !;
1st. A suit against the executor or adj
ministrator, as such, to establish the
amount OF the debt due from tile ,es.

GAS to the new principles Of blockade, we
exercised none now which we shall be
at all, inclined to abandon-and We have
given a sufficient proof of this in the very
hrst act ut our government, after they were
informed OF this new decree (revoking the
Berlin and Milan decree)-we have decla
red the canal of Corfou to be in state of
blockade, and have thus shut the entrance
inIo the Adriatic"
Here. thlps, is evidence sufficient to re
move all doubts respecting the future con-
duct OF Britain; no man can seriously sup.
pose, after this, that Britain, 10 use the
Language If our law of May lasD 'swill so

VIII persise in her faher 6ioekades. we
know thar Mr. Madison and Mr. Monroe,
Mr.. Smith and Mr. Pinkney have constant
ly protested against those blockades, a. az
violating the rights Of The United States" &
OF course. The fenaity defined By our itw
h'usf be inflicted
Indeed the pretext for refusing to aban-
don paper block AIDES. is as insultins as the
measure itself is Injurious refer the rea
der to the remarks at large, but their SUBJ.
stance is this" France has succeeded in
shutting us, her enemy, out eff the continent,
thSiSioic What we OetNSeTcN!S Cannot en-
Joy ourselves, we willnot let you, meutrals.
enjey; and, since we cannot actually block
AIDE every port by ships of war, we, mas
tiers OF the seas, declare that paper procla
nations shall have as much effect rs actual
investment"
Such is the language of the English official
paper, such goiH be RTE conduct of the f3ri
tIsh government; they zviN nor abandon the
measures, which violate our neutral com
merce," because their commercial monopo
ly depends upon their maritime tyranny and
the depression of every other nations con,
mercial activity they will not abandon
them, now that France has revoked her de.
crees, because they enforced the same ty-
ranaiCal system before those DEGREES of
France existed; they will not abandon them,
because they have passed new blocka..
ding order violating neutral rights, since
France announced the abandonment of her
DEGREES.
A heavy responsibility, therefore, rests
upon the American administration in the first
instance, from which we know they will not
shrink. and ultimately upon congress: how
indeed the crisis has arrived. France has
rendered negotiation unnecessary: action,
prompt and vigorous action, will soon be
necessary to our honor and our safety.
What our government should or will
do, will venture to consider ia another
letter.
