impossible to make compromise. The
demonstration Of all the American vessels IN
France was the necessary result OF the mea.
sures taken by Congress-" How little rea-
son have we then to give scredence to the
reports prevalent in London at the time of
the sailing Of the vessel that brought out
the late dispatches, that Bonaparte intend
ed to release all the American property
which he had sequestereJ. Had he any
such intention he certainly would not lave
proceeded to the sale of the property. He
here openly avows his right to that property
on the principle of retaliation.
Bonaparte complains that the acts of our
government relative to France are bot sea-
sonably made known to him. This would
show remissness of duty in general Arm
strong; but we presume the declaration is
merely presence. He watches the move:
ments of our government as narrowly as
ourselves his spies and agents here give
him the earliest notice Of every thing Of
Importance.
"Congress treads back its steps--In
short Congress engages to oppose such OF
the beligerent powers shall refuse to re.
cognize the rights of neutrals." The plain
meaning of this evidently is,that the French
DEGREES are revoked n the promise or ex-
pec,ation that the United States shall go to
war with Great Britain" Congress en-
cages to oppose"--what ? the right of
the British to declare ports block
AIDED which are not actually invested. Aud
it is declared by Bonaparte to be right of
neutrals to trade at any of his ports, or
ports under his control, which are nat &C
tually invested. Hence, if we co not by
force resist the English in the enforcement
of their blockading DEGREES, the revocation
Of the French DEGREES is null things re-
main as II no such revocation had been
made, and all the American property
which the French can then seize in France
and in ports under French influence, will
be sequestered and declared forfeited.-
Such is without doubt the plan of the En-
peror and our Duanes ard other French
Devils will exert themselves to the utmost
to carry his plans into operation. Mark
the pages Of the Aurora fer the coming
fortnight.
But his majesty laves the Americans
loves nation without honor, energy or

pronounced us. Their prosperity and
their commerce enter into the vieUs of his
policy No doubtthey enter into his viezvs.
And he glories in the Independence OF these
states, feels pleasure in cggrandiz;ng
them, and declares that their liberty is for
his interest. Does he suppose us children

FROM A LONDON PAPER.
BULLION.

REPORT OF THE coMMITTEK ON THE
HIGH PRICE OF GOLD BULLION
An Iueeresu"g report from committee
O.! me House OF Commons has been publish
ed, on the h,gh price o. Bullion. and the
kingdum--we subjoin an abstract there
OF.
IL appears, that at the latter end of 1903
inc standard price of gold and even of sil
yer 700. rose to about Is per cent higher
than the mint price or. in other words, that
10 an exchange between bauk paper and
gold, one hundred pounds of the former,
would only purchase eighty five of the lat
ter. .--.-
u This high price of gold is ascribed by
| most OF the witnesses to scarcity Of the ar
ncle. arising from the unusual demand for
IL on the continent but upon this the Com =.
fnIttee observe; -
: That both at Hamburgh and Ams,er-
Jam, Where the measure of value is not
gold, as in this country, bu, silver, an unusu
al demand for gold would affect its money
price, that IS, its price in silver; and that
as II does rot appear that there has been a =.
ny considerable rise in the price Of gold. as
valued III silver, at those places i'm the last
year, the inference is, that there was not a .
ny considerable increase in the demand for
gold"
And further, -. -.,..
Your committee have still further to re
marx upon this point, that the evidence lard
before them, has led them to entertain much
doubt OF the alledged fact, th,t scarcity of
goId bullion has been recently experienc
ca IN TINS Country. That guineas have dis
appeared from the circulation. there can
Dc no question but that does not prove
scarcity OF bullion, any more than the high
price proves that scarcity"
FOR all these reasons, your Committee
would be inclined to think, that those who
ascrioe the high price of gold 10 an unusual
demand for that article, and a CONSEQUENT
scarcity, assume facts as Certain, of whlcb
there is no evidence. But even if these as.
soiHPunns were proved, to ascribe the high
price OF gold in this country to its scarcity
seehs 10 your Committee to involve mis-
conception :"
The real cause Of this high price com
planned OF, IS thus limited BY the committee.
IN the conclusion of this head:
n general rise Of all prices, rise in the
marke price of gold, and fall Of the 70
reign exchanges, will be the effect Of Am
