THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, November 12, 180S.

Wf this day prefent our readers with a circular letter from Gen. W. Johnfton, giving a detail of the proceedings of the lull LegiQiture and fo far as refpects that funjeft at Icaft, think it defcrvcs a careful and ferious perufal. The laft mail furnifhed us with but few articles of any impvrtatice they will be found detailed below, with refpett to our

aflV.rs with England, the communication

frcn the Monitor, we thmk highly inter citing and deferving an attentive txamina tion. THE ST. MICHAEL.

Mr. Wilder, one of the meflrugers who returned in the St. Michael, which reached B-iltimore on Saturday laft, arrived at the

feat of government on the evening of the

fame dy, bringing with him defpatches for

government. It will be recollected, that congrefs, previoully to the cbfe of the laft feflion, paficd an ai empowering the prefident to lufpend the embargo in cafe he (hould, during the recefs, receive a durances from the European powers that our commerce could oe refurneil with fafety. . To facilitate fo defirable an object the executive of the United States forwarded to the Britilh miniltry, by the St. Michael, a propifition to rail? the embargo if Great-Britain would refcind her orders in council; and, to convince the Englifh that the American adminiftrttion were fiucercly dilpoled to deal impartially and upon principles (hi&Iy neutral with regard to Great-Britain aud France. the prefident went further. In the letter explana

tory of the orders of council which Mr. Erlkme communicated to Mr. Madifon on the 33d of February laft, the Englifh ambaffador ftated the reafons upon which they were grounded to be as follow, namely : " His mijefly has been induced hitherto to forbear recurring to meafures of this nature by the expectation that the governments of the neutral Hates, who have been the objects of the French decrees, would have been wakened to a juft fenfeof what they owe to their iuterclts and own rights, and would have intcrpofed with effect, either to prevent the execution of the French decrees, or to procure their abrogation. But his majefty having been difappointed in this jult expectation, and pT ceiving tint the neutral nations, fo far from oppoling any effectual refinance, have fubmittrd to whatever regulations France may have prefcribed for giving effect to hrr decrees, can no longer refrain from having recourfe to fnch meafures as, by retorting on the enemy the inconveniencies and evils produced by this injufbee and violence, m,y afford the only remaining chance of putting an end to a fyllem, the perfeverance in which is not more injurious to his maj-dy's dominions than to nations not partes to the war between Great-Britain and France." Thus the Britifh government told ours, in fo many words, that the orders in council were hid on to ch-ttiie us lor not having icuited the French Brrlin decree, although the drcree rud never been enforced. Howev-r, to obviate even that objection, th- prefident tranlmitttd to our miuilh'r ai London, a proportion to he m-de to tht Britilh government, th.t tlie United Stale would not only fulpend the embargo with regard to England if Gre-it-Britain wmiK. ahroatr hrr ordrrs of council, bnt that if Franc: Kvculd nst repeal tier decrees tht emburo should be rigiJUj continual w.th rcr.p ci to France ivkiltt it should net operate cj:nst Enghtid ; which would br full evid-nce of our refihSme ot the me fur. -of Fruice. This off r, I am forry to fy li s net fucceedtd; Gad knoss from whit caufe, unlef , a I belirve, the Englilh fcek our drilruction at all evrnts. France fti!l adher-$ to h-r Rrine maxims of policy '-nnitt Grrrat-Brttam, and refill's to rrlax her drcrrrs. In this litmtion, having done every t5 iii? which ould tetui to lonciliate anj rciUjre us to lurnicny with forrin powers, it now r-mains f)r t tie; rrprrfcntativr c( t'.e n .tion totlrcid' on the ftate of pubh.c alHus. In a ihort time they will br

aflTembled in this city, when a developerhent

will be made by the adminiftration which

mud at once fatisfy all parties of the correctnefs of its meafures and of the honefly of its proceedings towards the belligerents.

It ought to be remarked that during the

whole time that our government has been

making the moft liberal offers to the Englilh miniltry, the federal party here

have been reviling it for partiality to

trance. Shame and confufion will now cover thofc hot-headed men who have dif-

tradted the country; and if examples of

jfiice magnanimity, and a fincere difpofition to prefeive the peace of the republic, can unite the citizens of America, they muft at this time be moft heartily united in fupport of -their own interefts and honor againft the encroachments of foreign powers. Monitor. BOSTON, Oct. 4. Capt. HARDING, who left Cadiz Aug. 23, informs, that the French troops who capitulated under Dupont, had arrived at Cadiz for embarkation, and veflels were preparing for them. The Britifh, it was underftood would fufFer them to go home. It was afcertained that the French had entirelyevacuat-

BALTIMORE, Sept. ?9 The lawyer faction, after weeping and wailing over the miferies of the poor ftarvinp Hiilors, have been gratified with the fentiments of the noble fpirited tars of Bahi more on the preflure of the times. Thefe men tell the lawyers in ftrong language that they have not. "gone to1 Halifax, and that they would rather bear with the M Embargo" until our government could fecure to them honora ble prote6ion, than rifquc themfelves on the great high way of nations, fubjedt to the mercy of Britilh commanders offliips of war, to be prefled into foreign fervice and figh the battles of inimical nations.
