questions, during the late Session of Con-

William Is. Giles, one of the Senators from

EMBARGO.

measure OF this kind appears not only to
be popular at this time, but popular upon due
consideration ; for, since the bill 20 lay an En-
barge, which passed the House of Representa-
tives, was rejected by the Senate, the people
have reflected upon the subject and we learn
from various quarters, through the gazettes az
we'll as otherwise, that restrictive law upon
exportatioas, in aid of the war, is generally de-
sired.
Indeed. We never could discover the wisdom
of the Senatorial vote upon that bill. 1t has
been manifest, that, ever since the beginning
OF the war, the enemy has deemed our supplies
essential to his armies in the Spanish peninsu.
Ia, TO his North American colonsts, and to his
West India Islands. In proof OF this, we need
only look to the licenses granted for the Lisbon
and Cadiz trade, to the description ofresident,
agents at those places who carry it on, to'the
British order in council touching the liberty of
introducing American produce to the West In
dies, and to the decisions ofjudge Croke at Ha-
hiax. 1t seems a strange policy on our part TO
feed the antagonist whom we wish to coerce TO,
just terms of peace.
Let us reflect for one moment upon the topic
when it is Invested of all its intermediate ma.
chinery OF secret agencies in the United States.
Swedish flags, and British contractors in Spain,
Portugal, and Nova Scotia. Let us suppose
the enemy's army encamped opposite to an ar
my OF ours, and that the adversary depended
on our troops to supply him with bread would
not every body cxclaim, if our troops should
furnish him, how silly, low preposterous, how
absurd Aud yet, not less silly and absurd is
the policy that does not prevent our bread stufIs.
&c from going to Nova Scotia, Spain &C.
There is not, in effect, the least difference be-
tween the two cases the difference is only in
form--in the latter mode of supply being Iit--
tie more circuitous than the former they both
eventually so 10 the same point, to wit. the
sustenance of the British and the enabling them.
to make war upon us with additional vigor.
Under such circumstances, who is there that
does not wish that an embargo may be the first
act OF the approaching session of Congress
We aver that it is the will of the people, and
that will ought to be obeyed.
