:reprobation and contempt, which even our
knowledge of all their previous conduct had
not prepared US to bestow.-V asnia Patriot.
BY the capture of the Isle of France the
Emperor Napoleon has lost the last colony
w.lc. France possessed anteccdent to The An
Of March l80i--Whether she mas acquired,
since that epoch, so suspicious to these United
States, any other ultra marine dependency,
will we think be correctly ascertainedby a
careful examination Of the supplementary law,
respecting the Intercourse with France and
Great-britain, which is this day repubished
from the National IntclIigencer. The brief
but comprehensive mode of legislation, dis
played in this supplementary act, winch not
only declares what shall be ezci5iue testimony
in a court Of Justice, but transfers chow con-
stitutionally our readers may decidel the pow
er OF peace or war from congress to the prcsi-
dent, and The highly imtartiai hlrr1'esv Of this
art, as it regards the two bciiiserents, must
explain to the conviction of every real Anne
rican, whether France is still possessed of amy
dependencies beyond the Atlantic.
