Atthe long string of ills a kind angel relented.

For Justice divine could not compass its ends;

Drops tear Of regret, as he dying remembers

Whom duty TO far distant laitudes sends,

NEWBURYPORT, April 8.

MORE OF FRENCH +" BURNING LOVE-
Captain Moses Brown, arrived in this port
this day, 10 days from St. Barts, left there
March IA.
Capt. B. informs, that capt. Merrill arrived
at St. Barts, the day before he sailed, was
boarded on the Sd of March to windward OF
Antigua, by two French frigates, who had been
cruising there some days, and detained Is
hours but finding he was bound to ST. Barts,
allowed him to proceed. Captain Merrill was
told by one of the prisoners on board, that
they had SUNK and BURNT Seventeen Sail
Of Americans, and had the prisoners then on
board, among whom was Newburyport mas
ter, Frenchman, whose vessel, small schr.
was sunk the day before supposed to be capt
Delisle.
By an arrival from Antigua the day captain
B. sailed he had accounts of the French fri
gates being taken by admiral La Fourie, and
carried to Antigua.
Captain Brown, who communicated the a.
bove, is we'll known for his veracity-there-
fore no one who knows him, can doubt the
correctness Of the statement. This IS SUBJ
iect which would afford a volume OF COM
ments, but we beg every independent citizen
to reflect for himself.

We are clad to find it stated in the Intelli-
sucer, that the Embargo sis not war, nor
~, itinevitably lead to war;" 1t would III
e., have been absurd, as we'll as tie extreme
ofbsd policy, to have given it any other cha
,csr than that of precautionary measure
Such was always alledged to be the object OF
he former Embargo. How far the present
will answer the tactic views of its friends,
remains to be determined.
The candor of the Intelligencer, relative
% the conduct of Bonaparte, if unafeeted'
does credit to a democratic writer. After
aumerating the wrongs inflicted upon us by
C. Britain, of which we have all read and
heard thousand times from similar sources,
he observes:
sFrauce has exhibited, in her conduct to-
wards neutral powers, the counterpart to this
disgusting picture she has been emulous, in
nisdeeds, of the renown of her great political
cumpeer. II she has done less harm at sea, 1t
vas because her means were inferior to those
other rival. She declared the British Islands
and all the British dominions in state OF
blockade, when she had not single ship ON
the ocean: and whenever her cruisers could
escape from her ports, their course has been
marked With the Gesolation of our unprotect-
cd commerce. But for the want OF power
m no fha E,IIt rNf hot nj
MEASURE Of waste of neutral trade which has
Characterised the conduct Of Great Britaia on
that element, France has supplied the de-
hcency BY her deeds on land. By her Ram

S seized and conhscated all the vessels OF
ne United States and their cargoes that were
IMPORT Nor has her desolating policy been
'Alned to the limits of France only; 1t has
%sn telt wherever her influence extended
otais truth, Spain, Holland, Italy, &c. afford
''''Oo many examples"
It's an obvious undeniablc truth, that no.
u'AS has saved cur commerce from the ra-
ages OF Bonaparte, but his want of means to
pF'petrate robberies. Who can doubt of this,
'Den We see that the few vessels belonging to
