II is thought by editor Gales-that the
commerce of the United States, being intact
terrupted-deranged and almost annlhliat-
ed, by the 7visdom and Uirtue OF Napoleon,
Jefferson, and Madson-vill take new dl-
rection. 1t would be better had it new direct
ors
Ii is thought, by the same oracle of the go
Sernment, that the next congress will have to
decide the question " whether the United
States shall complete and maintain navy"
And is it possible that SO rank Federal nae9-
sure, Gun be couBtenanced by democrats {!
What, give navy to the y. States, make
them equal to the defence oftheir own shores,
ports and hsrbors Surely brother GALES is
mad or means to revolt from democracy
1t is thought, by some very sagacious peo-
pie, that congress will also have to decide an
other question of some difficulty. How is the
treasury to be replenished with dollars, for
the next year, in the absence OF maritime du-
ties
II is Mougk:, that Napoleon, having de-
strOyed the market in Europe, for Tobacco,
Cotton and Ricc-and Madison, and his lmps,
having destroyed, that for hemp In the United
States-that it only remains for Gccat-BYl-
tain, to exclude our wheat and -four from
Spain and Portugal, to make foreign COM
merce matter Of great indifference to Anne
rican merchants, and 20 reduce the U. States
TO Bank paper, for circulating medium
II is M9ught, that amidst, the insults and
depredations OF the beligcrents, that Nadl-
sons palse is hardly up to- the war beat-and
that after much big talk-ii there is any ar
'mament to repel aggression, 1t will be lett to
the merchants, to arn and defend themselves.
II is lhougtt, there will be no Indian war,
and that the whole tragedy of governor Harrl-
sons expedition, like the three wishes, and
the lade, will be turned to farce.
IL IL tA1ughf, that the Island Dauphine at
the mouth of Mobile, will be occupied, and
fortified, by the Sp~niards for Ferdinand the
Seventh and that it will command Ill the

II is th2Hyht that the new Federal Govern
mcnts forming III Spanish America, can have
bat little affection for their North American
mother, who, since her concubinage to Napo-
