MR. SPEAKRR,

Mr.. SpEAKER, D."
THE bill which has been read, is one
which claims the serious attention of this
house: it is one in which every member of
this body; in, which every citizen of Viz
giaia is deeply interested. The practice of
Duelling seems to me to be an unnatural
graft on genuine courage, growing out of a
barbzrous age for we find, that it was first
introduced by the Goths and Vandals, du.
ring the days of their ignorance and barba-
rism. The polite and polished nations of
Greece and Rome, who were ever prodigal
of their blood when in defence of their
eountry's rights, knew nothing of this de-
,ts..ab!e practice, which appears to me to
H built on an infnity of absurdities BE.
Cause while it seems to suppose, that
mans honor ought 70 be dearer to him than
his life, it at the same time supposes, that
this honor is in the power Of every unprin-
ciplsdvillain that can invent or tell a lie, or
OF every cafeless or al-bred person that may
iostle him in the way: it suPposes, that 4
lie may Become true and honorable, pro-
yidcd the person who tells II il willing to
Eight in support Of it, and that any crime
whatever may become honorable, by fight
ing in its defence it supposss that the man
who Is covered with guilt, who has wound
ed the peace Of his friend, by staining the:
character of his wife, or Of his daughter,
becomes at once an honorable man, by he
roically washing out those stains, in the
blood Of the husband or the father: it far.
Their supposss, that it 10 better for man,
70 be condemned by his own conscience,
and by the virtuous and rational part of
msnkind than TO suffer one moment in the
opinion Of the advocates for duelling i'm
fne, that steel aud gunpowder are the true
diagnos,ics Of innocence and moral excel.
leaey. If, sir. having seized TIE villain
who has violated my wife, ! should bring
him before tribunal Of justice, wha. would
be your opinion Of the Judge, who should
order that, I the innocent. injured nan,
$muss cast lots with the guilty, which ofSus
must die. Would not your heart iehul at
sush a sentence! Would no, you pro-.
Sounce !. con,rsry to reason, to common
sense and TO justice.s You surely would.
In the case Of duellins, the publirfis the
Judge. I receive an injury, for which, no
shing bu. life can atone, do not appeal ~

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.

The Proclamation Of the President
must relieve the public mind from
much Of hesolicitude which it has for
some time past felt. 1t announces
the important fact, officially asce-taiu-
ed, that " the edicts of France violat-
ing the neutral commerce of the u.
States have been so revoked as to
cease to have effect" and, in virtue
of the unqualified directions of an act
Of Congress, declares all existing re-
strictions on the, commerce and ves-
sells Of France and her dependencies
removed. As, however, no restriction
exists, with regard to France, except
the exclusion of her armed vessels
from our ports, the principal effect
produced will be in our favor by the
revocation of her DEGREES, by which
we shall be permitted 10 carry ON our
trade without any other annoyance
from her than is authorised by the es-
tablished laws and ussgss of nations.
1t iss~scarcely necessary to remark,
that the President, in this proclama-
ton, has strictly andsliterally pursued
the tack ma ked out by Congrt IS,
having merely discharged minister
Il trusss a feeble stand has, indeed
been nadssby a few warm partisans,
who have contended, that so long as
the French government retained the
sequestered property of our merchants,
she evinced an iudisposition C to cease
to violate the neutral commerce OF the
United States" But, admitting the
fact, and concurring fully in the seuti.
ment that while she does retain that
property she continues to commit a
nsgrant injustice, does it prove, in The
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1810-11-09

little regard her character and word,
which may be sacrificed again on the
altar OF false necessity. Under the
which haogs on the fu-
ture, our course is fortunately obvi-
ons. Let us value her good will and
by all proper means cultivate it but
let US value justice still more, and be
prepared, with alacrity and vigor, 10
assert our rights against all aggressi-
ons upon tkem, let them come from
what quarter they may:

Extract of a letter from Bayonne, goth

ten days past, the following is the

the territory north and east of the
Hudson was TO be one, subject to the
of a stakeholder by Great
Britain.
The territory between Hudson and
the Potomac, was to be neutral
state with power to establish its own
goYernment, with the consent Of the
hi hcontracting parties. The terri-
tory south and west of Potomac, was
to be placed on the same footing IN
relation TO France, that the country east
of Hudson was to stand with regard
to Great Britain. THAT is we sup
pose with viceroy over them. Va
rious other details are noted.
But it appears that. during the tour
of the French emperor to the coast
with his empress, the minister of pc.
lice, Fouche, actually contrived to O.
pen an Indirect communication with
the British government upon The SUBJ
jet.
When the emperor returned from
Antwerp, he first discovered the trans
action; the consequence of which was
the disgrace of Fouche and his being
compelled to retire to Italy; Ouve-
rard, another agent in the intrigue,
was committed to prison and Burr
was placed under the superintendaa &C
OF the police as a British spy.
The COMMERCIAL operation of the
DEGREES of Berlin, Milan and Ram.
boullet, has entirely ceased. The po-
litical operation will hang over until
the period at which their termination
is marked in relation to Great Britain,
that is the Is, Of November. But a
merican vessels enter and clear out
as before, the only difference that ha.
taken place is in the encrease of duties
greater strictness in the officers in the
douan sequestered property unlcs.
whene# there is actual or prima faci.
evidence of being British, will be re.
stored. But TO part of the F encl
system may be expected to be relaxeo
towards British products no manu-.
features will be admitted ON any terms
and wherever produce finds access un
der license, it will pay an enormous
tax to France, such as can render nj
colonial speculations to France pro
ductive to the original producers.
Here are to be certain ports desig
mated through which particular arti
cles will be allowed to pas under sucl
regulations but the entrance OF per
sons or goods from England will sub
.iect the former to Imprisonment, tn,
latter to confscation.
The Journal de rEmpire and Mon
iteur OF Paris, contain some correspon
dence of gen. A ms.rong with the duk,

sent lime to translate.
There are likewise various detail
from Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Ger
many, which tho not Of particular in
terest, throw different light on affair
in those countries from what we ar
accustomed TO receive thro' other chan
nels.
As our government must have beer
! in possession of the official advices O
the repeal of the Berlin and Milan de
crees,we may now expect by the frs
mail from the seat of government, thu
proclamation required by the law o
the arst of May last. In fact it nov
becomes duty on the president t,
issue it, and We make no doubt of it
being Immediately issued.-Aurora.
