TO all, that the energies OF the. gov
eminent are to be called into exerclfe
and directed, not againlt the power
of Great Britain, but agaiHf The rights
and commerce. 9ffbs te7pA 81 tbe United
States. We pronounce this fact with
more than ufual confidence and we
further fay that ihould the event
verify the prediction all lawful means
Of oppoGng the mealures ought, with
out a moments delay to be retorted
to. Congrefs have no more coniti-
tutional power permanently TO inter-
diet commerce than they have Perma-
nently to interdla tillage. The COM
bining Of declaration Of war, new
or intended to be Proiccuted, with
the plan effeaually to annihilate
commerce rather aggravates than
extenuatrs the outrage.-U. S. Gaz.
We think that it plainly and diff
timely APPEARS, from the courfe Of the
correfpondence between our Cabi-
net and the belligerents, that our
miniftcrs abroad are intruded to
play a deep and dangerous game.
Our minilter in France, for initance,
is, we think, inItru6ted to miirepre-
fent the character of this country at
that court, and the opinions of the
French cabinet towards us. The
tame, inGpid, barley water tyle of
Joel, and the water Cruel mefiages
OF the preGdent, are calculated to i'm
prel5, on the mind Of Bonaparte, that
we are ready TO lubmlt to his exac-
tons without murmuring. Joel ap-
pears in the light Of a minifer ient
to tender the thanks Of his country
men for forme, injuries, and to solic-
it their repetition, by way of making
Philofophicah experiment whether
French enormitv can exceed AmerI-
can patience. Can we be more az
tonlthed at The brazen IntrePldlty OF
French outrage, than they mutt be
at our long Tutoring, patience, and
unrePining Cubmillion. Mean while,
all the ofenGve mea(ures Of the
French cabinet, are modified, fotten-
ed, and explained, 70 as to deceive
Us into the conviction that they are
on the very point of being harmo-
niouhy adjufed. Alternate confla-
grafton by France, and gentle muir
murS on our part, conititute the lead
ing points of Joers million. For
this the mott obnoxious individuals
are employed Joel Barlow, a man
who has long fince renounced his
Redeemcr, was the mott proper per
