GOVERNORS SPEECH,

We this day publish the speech of his ex.
cellency to the Legislature AS usual, much
IS said about our national affairs, and very
little about the affairs Of the State, The
Governor informs the Legislature, that he
shall re-deliver to them the Memorials of
last winter, which were submitted to him
for safe keeping. Talks about the embargo
aud non importation laws--unconstitution
atty OF divers Of their provisions--interposi.
ton OF the State government--repeai Of
these acknowledgements of the Constitu.
tipn--iorbearance of the people, which was
recommended by the Legislature DE.
clares that none of the measures Of the pe.
neral government heve been opposed by viz
olence, and that no dangerous connections
nave dissraced the people Of this Com mons
wealth lHis excellency must have forgot
ten the Custom Hou8e a.l Committeeman
r'ioos)--He further declares that" a great
proportion OF the people of thi, State view
the waras unjustfiable and unnecessary, 4"
and renews the dat and Improbable charge
OF tsbeing waged against the .unoffendins
inhabitants of Canada" &c. We wish his
Exceliency would take the opinion of the
fourteen impressed Americans latelr arris
we'd at Salem from the prisons of Halifax.
on this subject, some Of whom have been
detained in slavery FOURTEEN years.
Let him ask them whether they think it
unjushhable aud unnecessary" Lee
him put the same question to any man of
Massachusetts who prefers Free trade and
or gallant Sailors Rights to the predomi-
nance OF British fnsolence and maritime
domination, and he could not fail of being

FROM THE SANE.

Among the letters brought out to New York
from England, by the cartel ship Far Aneri
can, Capt. Adams, there were, we understand,
great many from American prisoners of war
to their friends in this country A considera-
Ole portion of these, in number several hun
dreds, were written by that unfortunate class
OF our scaInen, vino, having been impressed IN
to the British naval service prior to the COM
mencement ofhostiiiiies, were, subsequently to
that event, discharged from the enemy's ships
OF war to prison, there to be held until they shall
be able to prove, by such evidence as the gov
eminent OF Great Britain may deem satisfac--
tory, that they are citizens of the United States
IL may be readily supposed that the enemy has
given up to the prisons as few as possible aud
there - no doubt that the number thus dig.
Charged IS much exceeded by those who have
been retained to fight the battles Of our foe. -
There occurs scarcely naval SETON between
a British vessel and one Of ours. thst we do no.
boar that some Of Our sitizsns have fallon IN

nation. then IS their existence, rs such, nconsis
tent with the greatness B. independence of othcr
nations. II Is not the fault of these other ma
tons, 1t nature intended Britain for second
rate power-whilst violence, and monopoly,
and the stupid folly of many countries has made
her, not only first rate power, but capable oil
disturbing the peace and happiness of the Whole
earth II is not their fault, if SHE cannot stand
the fair competition Of other aations in agricul
ture, in arts, in navigation, in commerce, and
Gas this memorial statesl in the fsheries-
:" The small planters and catchers Ct fish, which
make the great body of The people ON the coast
OF Labrador, under the Influence of notions i'm.
bi5ed by their daily intercourse with rnea whose
interests are atwar with ours, become dissa-
tisfied with their supplying merchants who are
unable to meet their foreign competitors on e.
quail ground Disobedience and insubordins-
ton follow, and. finally, their minds become a.
lienated from their own government, and they
emigrate to another, to the great loss of their
icountry.-Aye, there's the rub. The riyalship
and example OF the United States arc not less
dreAded and hated b. the British, than !. the
imperial power and ambition ofNapoleon. The
superior happiness Of our people is perpetual
reproachto their institutions. Our commercial
emulation is feared as the certain destruction of
monopoly. The evils growing out of impoii.
tic concessions to insidious foes are more ex-
tensive than your exceilency's memorialists
have yet stated /; they accompany our commerce
into the markets of Europe and the WestJndies.
In the United States, men, provisions, and eve
ry other article of out fit are procured upon
much better terms than the nature of things
will admit with the British. These combined
advantages enable them to underseIl the British
merchant in foreign markets. Hence, heavy
loses have often by him been sustained, and
must always be sustained, under similar cir
cumstances."
After this plain avowal Of what it is they both
hate and fear, this memorial winds up with the
usual hypocrisy of-the sycophantic adherents of
the British government, by an allusion TO the
admiral's" high character in profession, most
justly viewed as The saivafion, as well as admi.
ration, of oppressed nations." That is, after La
boring to procure his good Offices in excluding
all other nations from what is the common pro.
perty of the whole human race, they compli.
ment him upon his exalted reputation in a pro.
fession which is the salvation of oppressed nati-
ons! There il something iaexpressibly nauseat.
ing and disgusting in such pretences coupled
withlthe avowal of such designs. Yet there are
men TO be fouid in this country, who will assert
the British to be the most just. magnahimous,
and generous nation upon the face OF the globe
and that the British government is full of the
mix of human kindness, long suffering, gentle
and easy to be infreaied IF
