Nothing could be more evident than the po-
licy of the French emperor, nor any thing
more Notifying than the success that has at
tended his iuggling.-He has contrlyed to sa-
tisfy our government that he has repealed MS
DEGREES, while, to the eyes OF the rest OF the
world they appear to be In force. by these
means he has opened our ports to the pubic
and private ships of France, and shut them a.
gainst those of Great Britain. He denies the
evidence of the repeal OF his DEGREES, which
he well knows, if furnished to us, would I'M
mediately remove the orders in council, and
facilitate the settlement of our differences
with England, Britain has declared, that the
moment evidence is produced ofthe repeal OF
the DEGREES, the orders in council shall lpso
facto be annulled. The emperor, instead OF
furnishing this evidence, is giving daily proofs,
to our sorrow and loss, that the DEGREES are IN
force and operation.

contend, that she would be justified by the
laws or usages ofnations to interdict our COM

war, before it is for our own benefit.
There was one effect Of this war which gen

News has reached US by the Wy OF Boston,
that French squadron consisting of four Sc.
yenty fours and three frigatcs are in readiness
to sail from Bordeaux for this city, to protect
us from our declared enemy, the English
Precisely the very thing we have to dread !!
Fhe war between this country and U. Britain,
if the two parties are lett to themselves, Will
neither be predatory nor q bloody war. On
the part of the English, they will content them
selves with sweeping the ocean OF what is /
float upon it, and then keeping up MIR. Jeffer-
sons system of strict embargo. And OF
this We cannot think complain, for although
the administration party have oflate years SAID
it was all that was necessary to bring England
to her senses and compel her to come into
our terms, yet it must be remembered also
that Mr.. Madison declared, officially, when 1t
was first laid, it was only municipal regula-
ton and not intended to give any-cause OF una
bragg to England, and must not be considered
as standing in the way OF an amicabe arrange
ment between the two countries. Therefore,
| say we could not as nation very we'll COM
plain of it. And this | have no doubt would
be the extent of the warfare we should expe-
rience from @. Britain at least tor the few
months it would last, since to the age OF a SIN
gle year its ricketty life can never arrive. But
if France has agreed with Joel Barlow to send
one of her squadrons, (Which are only built to
sail, to fight and be captured) into our har-
Dor 70 protect our city, who does not perceive
that the next thing will be an English feet
directly in their wake? And when once the
battle has commenced, off Robins reef, can
non balls, bombs and congreve's rockets, will
hardly be found to respect persons or dwelling
houses. No; Of all disastrous sights the APP
pearance of French feet would be the most
disastrous To the enmity of Britain we are
already compelled to oppose ourselves, but
may God in his mercy save us from the en-
braces, and preserve US from the amity and
ELECTION of the loving emperor of France.
