The three lassprorisions were iimlted to
the end OF the noxt session and IN the mean
time wee paced under the control OF the
ezrcutiye who on revocation or medIhca-
,;un Of the sticts Of Great Britain & France
was at liberty to declare the prohibitions at
an end.
! As the bill comes from the senate the
two lss, pIoyisicn MS and the limitation are
streck OUT, and il now stands naked un-
qualified repeal of The non.insereourse law,
and a rermanent Introduction Of British and
French armed vessels. We are now cal
led upon TO decide whether We will pass the
act thus modified or destroy the hopes Ut
the country by adhsripS TO the part ex.
plunged by the senate.
Tn. bill a. il now stands is by no means
uuobisc,ionsble, but after the consideration
which have given it am prepared to
vote for it. A limited or qualified inter
diction Of the armt Vessels Of @. Britain
and France may be proper, and during the
continuance Of the war it is a measure Of
which perhaps they ought not to complain.
a. permanent regulation OF this kind IS
however, without precedent and will proba.
bly call Tor retaliation. lf the syssem IS
pressed back on Us We sssll certainly be the
sufferers. =.
