ture Of the policy Of the Ieffsfsonian adnnniss
tration. Let US just run over small part OF
the catalogue Of their measuresAE
The dry dock was an excellent scheme, and
would have answered the purpose, if it had
not been for the iInpossibility of executing
it,
The gym 5oerrs were remarkably well contriv-
ed machines, if it had not been obvious to the
Plainest common sense, that they zvere lterf&ct-
ty useless, and zvould NOT anszper the lesSr good
hnr7tsse in nature.
The sortedoes were very charming philoso-
Phleal engines, and there could be no other
objection to them, except they were calculat-
ed to produce no ether effect, than to help
to exhaust the treasury, and render the govern
ment ridiculous.
The salt mountain, perhaps can hardly be
called measure, though it is as much like
one as it was like any thing, was mighty
good Affair.", had it not been sheer fabrication
OF ph.lasopher's brain. 10 say the least of
it however it was Mumher
=" The partial non importation was the best
measure that could be found" and that, bv the
Doctors own confession, was good for no.
thing.
"The embargo zyas second act Of mdrhen-
dence,' but, like the first since the reign Of
Mr.. Jefferson, it could not be executed
The nan intercourse was another good thing,
only 1t hurt ourselves, and nobody else.
In short, turn which way We will, we find,
according to The Doctors notion Of the enlbar-
60 the best measures that toe Jcifersoni,uls
: can fld are either good for nothing, or alto
gether useless and impracticable. And what
is the reason? 1t is as plain as the f.ct which
the | armed Doctor states-viz. Either the
administration have not capacity enou sh to dis
Germ, or honesty enough to pursue, gooi'
wholesome and practicable measures. MIR.
Eppes, indeed, has given Us the reason.--

WEDNESDAY, MARCH I3.

Il Qesy srouna Ct dcttNce.--The French
prints have surprised US with new ground
of defence for the attrocious Berlin and Milan
DEGREES. They Say, those DEGREES are now
only meant TO be directed against England,
and not against neutrals and therefore we
have no ground Of complaint. 1t might be
sufficient to answer, it is of little consequence
against whom the DEGREES are nominally di-
rected, while, in Their execution they ope-
rate solely against Us. And pray, is it not
always against tac btliScrent th.t blockatii2g
DEGREES are nonlinaliy directed is 1t net a.
Ways the neutral that suffers Is it not through
the rights Of neutrals only that the beliige-
rent can reach his adversary ? But even this
miserable pretext IS not allowed them, aud
nothing but iGpudence Itself could have VEN
turcd 10 oroaCh it; so long as no one is able
to shcw Us a shadow q Official repeal or even
suspension Of these Geccces nor even g sug-
geStion % tie vessels Of war, to desist from
capturing our vessels on the contrary, we
are othc;a:; Informed, first. By Galore, Oh the

crees Vas to be expected, ungi. Greet iit.in

TIL he sees whether We will comply with
MS wishes, and enter into his quarrel with
England. Just as Galore, when Champaign,
told Us two wears before, that AL our property
would be conhscated, if We did not t,kc part
in the war against England, and conHscyted it
has been.
This new defence, we have sad, surprizes
Us. Bat surely 1t ought not to produce any
such effect. Our surprize viii soon cease, if
