SPEECH OF MIR. S. SMITH.
IN SENATE,

On adhering to the amendments of the Sen
ate to the bill respecting the CONNER
ciaI intercourse between the u. S. Il G..
Britain aud France"
Mr.. Snlh-Mr President, the question
before the Senate is, to adhere to their a.
msndments made to the bill respecting
the commercial intercourse between the
u. S. and G.. Britain and France"
1t is with extreme reluctance that / rise
on the present occasion. Ifeel, scnsibly feel,
che situation in which place myself by op
posing a measure countenanced by the vote
in the other House, of almost all those with
whom l have been accustomed to act and by
many in the Senate, for whose superior judg.
msnt, and correct opinions have ever had
the highest respect; finding however, that
differed with those gentlemen, took the
bill To my lodgings, and considered it with a
disposition to find in it something, that should
induce me togiva up my own opinion to thar
expressed by the votes in the other House
but / looked in vain, and / found myself
compelled to take the ground Of opposition
10 the bill. In doing this, / must hope for
the indulgence of those with whom j differ
and of the Senate, for detailing the reasons
for the motion made to amend the bill. -
To do this, it may not be Improbable to take
review of the causes that led to the mea-
sures adopted by the United States, and
yhe course taken by Congress to resist the
injuries imposed upon us by e.. Britain and
France.
The insult offered to the honor Of the ma.
ton in the affair Of the Chesapeake so far
from being redressed, was heightened by 9
proclamation from the King of Great Britain
suthorising publicly in the face of the world
the boarding of our merchant ships, and ia.

1t is the opinion Of Mr.. Gailatin, SAYS
the Federal Republican, that all goods i'm
ported from England after the Cd of Febru-
ary next will be liable to seizure, unless it
shall! be previously ascertaincG that the Or.
ders in Council shall have been revoked
b.fore that. There is no doubt on the sub
ject. The blockadiog sys,em Of England
will not be renowned; and It's continuance
will DC declared violation of our neutral
rights. But what is to be done II it should
be found that the French DEGREES are not
revoked
Every one must rejoice, says the New
York Public Advertiser, that the period is
now at hand when the government will take

justice from both the bclligerents, viii at
least relieve Us from the injuries and pro.
cure US the friendship Of the o.Aer.r-The
greatest injuries THAI can BE- received will
be received from the friendship Of that
other. But the Advertiser is counting too
rapidly. Government will take no position
but instability, The decree, il will be dis
covered, are not revoked. But, if revoked,
how is Congress to know, before the Sd OF
March, that the British edicts will not have
been revoked on the I'd Of February? VIA
