That our loss by this unaccouDtablc pro-

other casualties growing out of such retreat,
and excited by the despair and humiliation il
created, han could have arisen from the most
deperate attack. That il cast a stain upon

Coniounded, if not convinced, by these con-

saying, that if tenth part of what is alledged,

speech, OF moderate length. the reasons

Mr.. Horsev ct Del. presented sundry ne
titions signed by nun Der Of persons. citi
tizens OF the state OF Delaware stating Il, a,
owing TO The changes on the continent Of Eu
rone, the embargo no longer affected Great
Brian that at this time the measure was
necpi's'ly distressing to the people Of the
y. States, and particularly to the petition
leFs. They therefore pray that Congress in
their wisdom may repeal the act laying an
embargo, &c.
The petition being read,
Mt. Horsey said, it was net his inteation
at this time to enter upon discussion of he
motion ne was about to make. He meant
on'v to make general remark or two ten
dug TO shew the propriety of the course he
was about to adopt. Mr.. n. said, he fuIiv
appreciated the situation of the petitioners
thae whatever policy may have dictated the
embargo, he felt a strong conviction in hi.
mind tht that policy had now, tn a great
degree, 'tnot in toto, ceased--that the extra
or"inary revolutions wtic had taken place
on the continent OF Europe, the accounts of
which had reached us since the passing of
the act laying IN embargo, have released
the enemy most essens:,!ly from whatever
pressure the act may have been calculated
to produre upon him. Besides, said he, the
ASPECT OF our affairs has materially changed
since the adoption OF this measure. When
adopted. 1t was known that C. B. had de
ctned the mediation of the emperor of Rus.
s's, ont II was not known that any new chan
mel OF nsgociation wonld be opened. Apa-
nc advance has since however been made
by y. b. ard accepted on the part of our go
v.rnment ;; q negotiation is now pending.
which we az hope will issue in peace. Mmeo-
Yer, said Mr.. II. the great pressure Of the
restrictive system. of which the embarg, il
man feature, has hitherto been confined
to the heofle Of the U. States. 1t is now
beginning 60 extend itself essentially to the
finances OF the government. We have been
aiready adHaonished. and he prayed gentle.
men to take the warning in season. The
iatai effects OF the system which for the past
have fallen upon the commerce and agri
culture OF the country are now. he feared.
about to fallupon the credit and operat;ons
OF the government He therefore hoped
that the measure would be immediately a.
bandoned.
