fubmi1ion Of our Government to the
.innumerable breaches Of treaty and
to the infults and injuries 70 long

falling with the heavieit weight up
on The Commercial Subscribing
at blow the navigation, The lumber
trade, the 6lhing, and all the fources
of the PROPERTY Of the Diltri6t of
Maine; Whit the fouthern States
having bur few lhips or feamen and
little or no concern in the carrying
trade, but pofelling the means of ex-
porting much of their produce in
foreign bottoms, feel comparatively
little of its prehure.
Re6iDed, That it appears BY the
debates and votes in Congrefs that
this War was made by the members

Grafton of few northern and eaitern

ReJGlved, That the approaching E.
lection of Rulers prefents TO the peo-

and intercits Of their confituents.
Re(5Eved, That it is Of immenfe
importance that the people Of this
State ihould have a voice in the cleo
ton of the Pre6dent of the United

ourfelves that branch of the Legif-
lature will incur the folemn refponfi-
bility of dePriving the people Of this
invaluable privilege.
Ref3ived, That we highly approve
of the mea(ures of the Houlc of Rep

BRITISH INFLUENCE.

The charge of British influence has been
made and reiterated against the federal party.
They have been called g a British faction"
: 6 tories, and " traitors" by men fresh from
the tails of Europe, burning with rage and
tatriotisa Unprincipled knaves have assert
ed, and well-meaning dupes have believed,
that the men who fought the battles, and at
chicyed the independence of their country,
have been corrupted by British gold. Though
when they have been called upon to give one
proofof British influence in the federal party !;
when they have been reminded that this party
embraced not only the far greater portion of
che wealth, talents and responsibility of the
country, but almost every revolutionary pa
riot: and of the improbabiiitv that men who
had put to hazard every thing dear in defence
of the honor and independence of their. coun-
trv. should become hwetings and traitors, they
have only answered by a reiteration of the
charge, with more force of lungs, and more
& fcryor of scurrility." Even Washington
himself, and the companions of his tolls, "the
Solomons In council, & Simpsons in the field"
have been accuset--not by Payne and Duane
alone, hut--by the c;.iefs of the ruling party,
with Jefferson at their head, Of being under
British influence Ii there is any man hardy

SUMMARY.

The stipulations Of Lords Grey and
Grenvile aud their friends, as conditions of
their coming into the Ministry, were that
Government should hatromze the Catholic
Claims that the Orders in Council should
be revoked and America conciliated and
that more economy should be introduced in
the public expenditures. These appear to
have been conceded.
In the House of Commons, Jure 13, Mr.
Brougham gave notice that he should, ON
the 10th. bring forward mott on respecting
the Orders in Council. Lord Castlereaeh
continues to defend the justice and policy Of

Lord Folkstone stated that the British
exports had last year fallen off 10 ,o0o, 900 ;
hat the revenue had decreased three mil.
