The Sea is ours /; and we must maintain
the doctrinc---that no nation, no fleet no

must not presume to declare a port in state
Of blockade, unless she can keep force ac-

The following letter is from a gentle man,
well known in this city as partner in re-
spectacle mercantile establishment. He
is fcder list But going to England,
there having a view of the whole ground"
has become satisfied of the justice OF his
own governments aud this he acknowlcd-
ges with frankness honourable both to
head and heart. We have ever believed
that a trip to- England would convince
many of our honest fcderalists of the errour
Of their opinions in relation to the Justice
and magnanimity Of that government.

Errraet Of letter from gentleman in Lon
don 10 his friend in this city, dated Nov
%, 1910.
AS the French DEGREES are removed, and
as vet there is no appearance OF a disposition
on the part of the British ministry to remove
the Orders in Council, judging only from
the resolves of the last session of Congress,
it would seem that some decisive measures
would be adopted by our government to the
prejudice of this Whether this will be the
case cannot say, but if our government ev-
CIR intend to take any hostile steps towards
this country, they never can do 1t with more
effect than at the present moment. Great
Britain is now shut out from all the continent
except small part of Spain and Portugal,
the trade of which places can be of but little
consequence, and there is at present no pro-
liability ftheir being admitted to any part of
the con,nen, in the possession or under the
influence of Bonaparte. They must dispose
of their manufactures, and they have no 9th
or vent for them but to America; and am
of opinion that if Congress take firm and de-
cisivc steps with regard 10 this country, i,
will shortly be compelled to come to our own
terms, and think the sooner this object is
accomplished the better. From this you will
probably conclude that my sentiments have
somewhat changed since left you. must
confess they hwe.--This country is mater
tally affected by the late DEGREES OF France,
and now is our time TO insist upon Justice be-.
ing done us, and sincerely hope that our
government will take firm, digniiied and
decisive stand"

all IN their power to keen off the crowd, and to
induce those on board to go into the cabin, lest
the top weight should overset the boat but
their warninc voice was lost, amidst the noisv
mirth and confusion which prevailed amoner tbe
multitude, who now completely crowded the
cabin root. A people still continued to press
