" You will perceive by the National Intelli-
gencer, that congress have passed an act lay
ing all embargo for ninety days. 1t isregard-
ed here as the precursor of war-and with
that view alone can it be justified.
" There is little doubt but that Bonapartc
has let loose some of his corsairs upon us a.
gain. Congress have been tou diIatory. The
moment that it was determined to accept the
revocation Of the Berlin and Milan DEGREES,
and to press England to abandon her orders
in council, government ought to have pushed
on to war without looking behind them. He
station eXcites doubts and he that appears
to doubt with Napoleon, must prepare for bis
vengeance. A man SO we'll acquainted with
the human heart as he is, cannot be easily de-
ceiyed."
