Mr.. Withdrawals means Of averting war
are, we know Motive should be glad to
hear Does he think that We should at once,
because America thrs atens war, repeal our
orders in council If be does, we doubt very
much whether America, imputing our aban-
donment to fear, would be contented with thae
concession; bat VIC are quite sure that We
should appear to the world in the most base.
mean and pitiful light. We are obstinate and
resolnte till we are bulied, and then we Weld
on the instant. Is this the recipe for ayelting
the calamity of war? We issue our orders in
council as a retaliatory measure against the
decree Of France. We shew by incontroyer-
tible facts and arguments that those DEGREES
are stlil In force. But because neutral DOW.
er threatens us with war, if we abide by q
system which our enemy has forced upon us
by his hostile measures, we are Immediately
to abandon that system, leaving our enemy's
measures in full force and effect There is
prudence which is wise; there is also false
reptile prudence, the result not of caution but
Of fear g do not deny" says MIR. Burke,
s that In small weakly states timely com-
promise with power has often been the means,
and the only means, of drawing out their pu-
nv existence nut great state is too much
envied, too much dreaded, to find safety in hu.
initiation. TO be secure it must be respect
ed. Power and eminence and consideration
are things not to be begged. They must be
commanded and they who supplicate for.
mercy from others, can never hope for Justice
through themselves"
1--WE remark that America, defy ing and
threatening as she is, IS still for not entering
into War prematurely--or as she says, "she
does hot wish to invite to the feast till the
cloth is aid-.-till the nation is put into the at.
titudc." Now whether it be wise policy 10
let her baye time to Go this without doing any
thing decisive ourselves---whcther our having
to say, that she was the first to begin hostili4
ties, be an advantage which we ought to pnr~
chase by suffering her to complete her prepae
rations, IS point which we leave to the ma.
ton TO decide"

found in the general interest OF the two

both. We have no idea, however, of en-

EMRARGo, WAR, OR SUBMISSION"
Perhaps it might be premature in US to say
much about the new expedient resolved upon
by our administration-we mean, another En-
barge. 1t is probably more prudent to wait
until we know the sentiments Of its friends as
to its policy and object But at the same time
We beg leave TO caution our readers against
yielding implicit credit to what the ruling par
y may cay in favor of this measure: for we
are convinced they can disguise their real
views whenever it suits their purposes, and
can gravely support opinions which they Go
not entertain, in order to mislead the unsuspi-
cious. This trick has been successfully prac-
tised heretofore, with all the low cunning Of
village lawyer.
An Embargo may be intended to answer Sc
yera purposes.
III the first place, if may be given out as be-
ing preparatory step towards actual war
Should It succeed in making this impression
1t may urge the BRUSH government to make
IN attack upon US, which would at once rel.
der a war more popular here, and more unpo-
pular in England--two points Of considerable
Importance. That such manoeuvre NAV
produce such all effect, will be admitted BY
those who reflect, that the stop9age of our
supply of provisions from the British armies
IN Spain ard Portugal is calculatcd.o arouse
their animosity; because they may regard i
IS an attempt to subserVe the cause CT Bona
parte.
Secondly, all Embargo may be intended as
decent Substitute for Wa, as our admins
tration find that tie latter is not -elshed BIZ
the great mass Of the people. Absurd as this
supposition appears, after ali our preparations
we are warranted by our experience CT past
absurdities in believing it !hoSsi6ie.
But whatever may be the &C ,Iui or avowed
object of an Embargo, we trust that its uIt-
mate effect Will be beneficial to our country
and that the good Genius Of America will yet
restore Us to prosperity.
