our country, which is really awful to
behold. 1t is now reduced TO certain
~, that the restrictions and depreda-

SO long been carried on under the au-

removed but at this instant, our COM
merce in France, and every part Of
continental Europe, is treated with
more violence and naughty insolence,
than at any former period. BonaParte's
unjust DEGREES, though they may be
nomiRally revoked, are in fact in full

does not deny it. But with sn insulting

the tayoer of our common master, must
depend upon the exertions we make a

natisn, and can We bear this Yes I!
We can bear any thing. AS a PROOF
of this iaat assertion, only look for one
moment at the late conduct Of the adj
ministratiOn. They declare TO Mon
Sicur Turreau, that the DEGREES OF
France haze nor ir fact ceased to effect
neutral commerce and they tell the
