y AS regards Thomas Jefferson.

The "Uuited States Gazette" insists
that the recent promise of Napoleon, to take
or the Berlin Decree on certain conditions,
IS mere 'delusive proposition that this
Decree is NOT a measure of retaliation -
that the British Order in Council, "declar-
ing the coast of France, from the Elbe to
Brest, in state of blockade,'' contains
provision hostile to a BoNAFIDE NEU-
TRIAL COMMERCE. In what school Mr..
Bronson has studied the law of nations or
the extent of neutral rights, we are at q
loss to conceive. VIII he presume to say,
that Great Britain has RIGHT to forbid
the trade of nentrals from one port to ano-
Their " belonging to or in the possession of
his maJesty's enemies ?'' This pretension
is in the very teeth OF the laws and usages
of nations. G. b. herself he's abandonsd this
monstrous prstension.-rhc Convention
with Russia Of the 18th June, 1901, express.
ly stipulates, that the ships of the neutral
power shall navigate freely to the ports and
upon. the coasts of the nation at war."-
But the solicitudc of Bronson, and his asso

Around thy fay'rite seat

Soft warbie thro'' the shady grove,
And charm the rising sayt
There COOS the dove in p!aintive strains,
And thro' the long Withdrawing plains,
The echo dies away.
To soothe the anxious tl,robbing breast,
And hull the cares Of life to rest,

Thy sylvan bow'rs, and messy seats,
Thy willing guest receive.
