The nredtAed nericd has at lenffth

arrived for a difpaflionate ellimate of

of the meafures. recently taken by the admimflrationj in regard to our foreign relations. Inafmuch as the

great mafs of a community re not gifted with the faculty of accurately alTociatiug caufes with their rffecls, and as they are too generally played upon by a fet of men actuated by"

perfonal, and often by finiller motives, it aught nut to furprife us, that a temporary delufion is frequently exci-

ted, productive of impatience at, if

not homlity to, the mcaiureft belt fitted to promote their interefis. It is.

pcrh 3, infeperable from a free government, to have a body of men conllantly in opnofition who not content

ed with a virtuous refinance - of encroachment and oppreifion, crenerally

endeavour to efTecl their, purpofes by mifreprefenting the motives, tradu

cing the characters, and diftnrting the meafures of thofe who hold the reins

of power. A mournful experience

proves that thefe men, in the zealous rf mm & m m

purluit ot their objects, will totally lofe fight of the dutie s which they owe to their country, and even efpoufe with ardor the moft uniuft conduct of

foreign governments. By thefe means the public judgment is obfeur-

ed, and a coniiderable portion of the community are led to afcribe all the

evils they endurs to thofe whom they have conftituted the gtiardains of their

rights, inltead ot imputing them to the unjuft conduct ot a foreign power;

which, but for the rneafures they con

demn, woi!d have opprelTed them

with a ten fold violence. This has

been flrikingly the Cafe with refpect to the embargo. Thefe whoimpofed

it have been reprefented as abandoned

to rrench influence, rs unfriendly to

commerce, as hoflile to liberty

Great and refpedtable fections of the

union have fwallowed the poifon, and -w . - -

have been almolt infnmed into a proxifm of paflion, ready to feek its

criminal gratihcation in railing i

w o But the bright day erf judgment and

retribution has at. length arrived, when a virtuous nation will not with

hold the tribute of its warmeft thanks

from an adminiftration, whofe fole ambition has ever been to advance the

happinefs of its conftituents, even at

the lacnhce ot its nrefent uoDularitv.

Thanks to the Dge, who now To iclo-

noully repoles in the (hades of Mon-

ticcllo, ana ta thofe who lhared hU

confidence.

In pronouncing this iudcrrhent. eve.

ry fug?eftion of mDannimitv re

commends a forbearance from open

ing anew the wounds which have fo

grievouily irritated our frirndfhip with Great Britain. Generolitv re-

quires, that We Ihould drcp a veil over

them. Jultice, however, does jiot Iefs foicibly call upon us, to eflimiate aright the caufes which have fed to the exilling flate of tliingF, as opening to us a copious volume of exprrieix c, that may fcrve in futare to irradiate our way. x In thefirft p?ace, then, it may be boldly alledged, that the revocation of the Britifh orders is attributed to the embargo. The non intercnurfc aa, connected with the partial rrp-al of the embargo, had not t ken place when mr. dkely left England, nor was it expected to take place. On was every mani-

ft (tatiori, on the part of our government, in all its departments, to adhere to the embargo, or to t ke the a. trrnitivc of war. Votes to this effYt had pa(Ted the two houfrs of Civreli by gr-at majorities. Mr. Cnning had, moreoer, a fhort time brl'ore virtually put the veto of Lis government on the propofitiou of ours to raifc 'he emb.v.0, as t England, and retain it as to France, provided Engluid rcfeinded her orders. As thi, is the precife propoiition fubmitted by t!)C tion-intercourfe ad, it provrs th.it there mull have been fme other caufc for this veto, at the time it w,$ pfo. liouncrd by mr. Canning. r (-,n nin, in aflTins a caufe, by decla. rin that his government would not refcind her orders till Franee had withdrawn her decrees. And yet Frau cc has not withdrawn her decrees

to t1ii3 Jay. As th- eflett, then, is produced without the caufe then aflighed, it ia evident that it tnuft have flowed from fomc other caufe. That caufe is the embargo. No other caufe can be afiigned. That it was quickened into activity, by the difjflei s attending the Britilh arms in Sp.iin, may be true. But this proves nothidg more, than that the embargo was an inltrument, calculated to influence the conduct ot forein governments to us through the medium of contingent events. If I withhold my friendship from any one, it is not the particular al that injures him, but the effects, flowing from it. So, in the cafe of the embargo, it was the almoft inevitable effedU expeled from it, that recomraendedi it as a meafure, the belt fitted, in all human probability, to vindicate our rights by a solemn appeal to the interests of those xvi9 violated them. In this, and in this wayonly, was its efficacy contended for. lc was faid, that, while it fee u red our property by drawing it into our own bofonr, it would for a time avert war, during which time it would probably teach thofe whoaggrcfled upon our rights, that their own interells diclated a removel of their aggreffions. Let us go back to the period wheu the embargo was hid. At that time England flood alone (for Sweden is too trifling to form an exception) among the nations of Europe. As far as confolidation of power, unknown fince the tays of Charleinagno, could effect it, the trade of the continent is fenled to her. In this potture of af-J fairs, (he ifiued her orders in Council, interdicting to us all continental trade. The

aw ti -- O w vi j IV Uk W In impofirg the embargo', it was faid that England would principally feci it. : In the dimunition of her manufactnresrf In the dimunition of her trade. In the "dimunition cf her taxes 'ariftng from imports. In the want of naval fupplies. In its effects on her colonies. Ve all recollect the immediate ferifatiort produced by it in England. The table of the Hnufe of Commons was filled with ret J monflrahces againrt the Oidcrs in Council, and the Gaz-tte's overflowed with mani fcflations cf the rational fenfibility. At this moment, when but a few months had elapArd, which had however afforded the be Ir ground for the hope, that the orders woui-.i foon be refciuded, the momcrabie , Spnnifh revolution hla2td out, and the Britifh minidry feized it, without delay, as the glad harbinger of brighter days Tiir pcpular fl-me was kindled on the fide of the- patriots, unprecedented exertions was made on their behalf an eminence army was raifed", the navy encreaft d, and the rich An lican as well ss European- poficiTions of Spam thrown open to England. Her languiuYing manufactures received new lifeblood, her commcrfe expanded on a bolder wing, and flie languiihed at our folly in giving her a monopoly of the trade of the world. For a time things go on fwim mingly Succefs infpires confidence, and we ;rc (tcf nly told, that the Britilh oideri will n. t be revoked till the French decrr:ej are refunded. While the tide of good fortune flowed thus imoetuoufly, the empaired effects of the embargo, although far frotrt ii.corfiderable, are either lightly felt, or arc fubmitted to in the hope of our foon abandoning it. It ii refolvcd to fee who can ftaud out the longed. But this profperous tide turns, with a revullton equal to its original impeticus; and now it is, that the florid complexion of hope is Ikklied o'er with the pale hue of melan choly. Reflection is fnbflitutcd fur action, and it is forfeen, perhaps, that the "people of England, however able to fupport the animatfd exertion cf courage, will fink ut.d-r t!;e rrquircd patience cf fortitude. Fortunately, : this crifis, the intelligence reaches them, that tlx government ri the United States lirct; -in t!i affections of the intici a-c determined not to reUx; that a new mr.jetlrate had been elected by a r . .i rr- ...

Uoder thefe circumitances the BiitiOi government rifely determines for peace wi:h us. She ferli the appeal carried to her intrrefli, fpon taneouily renders rep4ration for the attack on the Cht fapeai.e ; and offers to refund hrr orders on our rr filming a free commcr cial mteicourfe with her. However, then, the appeal of the embargo t her interefU was drUyed, it w.is nnf iruluaicd, by the Spanifh rcclutiun. Had
