LIE DIpLOMATIC CABlNrr

MERCHANTS, MECHANICS, and SHIP
OWNERS! What think you OF The DECREE OF
The CONGRESS OF PERU, which we published
yesterday?
How happens i; that TEN months notice is given
% The powers ot'EWDpc, and only EIGHT months
10 us! Is this one OF the fruits OF Mr. Adams
great diplomatic talents; What ! is he a great
dplomati.t, who suffers every other government,
10 get the advantage OF him?
- lSoddtes, al kind IF !Snddiery," and ' Horse
Shoes" are excluded, By this Decree, from the
ports of Peru.
Nearly all of these articles that went there
We're made in The Uuitsd States.
9 Reldy male Clothing, BOoiS and Shoes"
are excluded.
Those that went to Peru chiefly made in
the United States.
'' Soap aud * Hats are excluded.
The expectation OF these was alllos! a!tcgcth
from the United STATES
So Coarse Cloths" are excluded.
Nearly all the Coarse Cotton Cloths, that went
10 Peru were manufactured in the Tinted States.
g Tables, Sofas, bureaus, 'tairS, Coaches,
Coic-cS and Bedsieads" excluded.
Now, all these articles of furniture that went
10 Peru were exported from tie United States
g FLOUR too, is excluded.
Who furnishes nearly all the FLOUR for that
market The people OF the Cait,d States
The operation OF this Decree of Peru will be
50 much more severe upon the Commerce. OF the
United states than upon that of any OF the En-.
TODCdl countries tat he belief cannot be resisted
that ii was pointed particularly at us. II Sc what
hayc the great DipiomGiists, the great .Aegociq-
tors, the wonderful LYrit rulers, ADAMS aud
CLAY of whose capacity to manage our foreign af-
fairs we have heard so much < seer s0 tIe--Hhat.
we say, have Mir. .idGms and Alr. C!1y been a.
bout, that they have suffered get 80 much out
OF favor with the government ofPcru? Why are we
put upon much worse footing than the govern
Inents of Europe Where was this boastcd DIP

IPWe Lave 10 Minister, no Charge dcs Anaires
at Peru. Mr. Cooley, who was our Charge there
died long since, and one has been there to rep
resent our interests since. And Mr.. Coulter, even
If he had lived, was totally incapable Of guariin
our commercial !EicreStS-but = laird rate Lar.
YeT ir Tn Ohio, at best.
Now, we ask the sensible and iudici,us ar 4 bu-
sincss men cf this country to take calm review
of the course Of the present aduinstration--se
how they managed the business OF the british
WEST INDIA TRADE, that Of the III cnch
WEST INDIA TRADE-0bserye how they have
left commerce totally unprotected on the Coast
OF BRAZIL, and MARI how they have suffered
very other government to get the advantage OF
them with PERU. We ask such men as Ye have
dressed ourselves 10, TO look cooliy and calmly
Al these matters, and say whether MIR. ADAMS
has any claims TO reelection on the people Of Ibis
country on the score OF The nlaiHer IN Uriich he
has administered, the g0re,nmcaP We throw
out of the question now, the manner in which he
got power, and ask that he may he Judged by his
measures. We not only say that he has done
harm in the cases 10 which we have alluded, but
country Let US not be told Mat he has paul off
thirty millions Of the National dejt. Such
thing none but q knayc would suggest, and none
but a fool believe; Tor every one knows that MIR.
adams and Mr.. Clay had nothing 10 DO with that
payment--ihe money having been appropriated
by CONGRESS before either Of them cGHie INTO
office, aud such direction given 70 it, that neither
MIR. adams nor MIR. clay had any right TO divert
it from its desIination-hIc Puymen Cfthc Ma
iioRql DEBT.
~ What have Adams and Clay done for the
good o. the country since they came Into office.
We put not this question 10 the pert, silly whip
s'cgs OF Mr.. Adams Editorial corps, but 10 Tie
Alerchanls, the Farmers, d,e business men of The
HOGn;fy. Bait. RePu6.
