It has become indeed fumYicnt- ly certain that the commerce of the Ik States is to be facxificed, Tiot as interfering with the belli- £erent rights of G.

Anxious to make every experi- Tncnt iliorc of the lad refer t of in¬ jured nations, the lb States have withheld from G. Britain, under ecu five modifications, the bene¬ fits of a frccintercourfe, with their market, the lots of which could r,ot but outweigh the profits ac- crum ; from hcrrcllrictions of our . ■■uimei'vc with other nations.

The declaration would have been confident with her avowed princi¬ ples of blockade, and would have enabled the II. States to demand from France the. pledged repeal ot her decrees ; cither with i'uecefs in which cafe the way would have been opened for a general repeal of the belligerent edicts ; or with¬ out iuceefs, in which cafe the U. * States would have been juftified in turning their meaiure exclusively againit France. The Britifii Go¬ vernment would, however, nei¬ ther rccin'd the blockade nor de¬ clare its non-exifteu :e ; nor per¬ mits it* non-e::ineuec to be infer¬ red and aflirmed by the Anecrican Fienieotcntiarv. On the contra- ry, by reprelcnting the blockade- to be comprehended in the orders in council, the U. States were com¬ pelled fo to regard it in their full* lccnicnt proceeding. There was a period when a fa¬ vorable change in t lie policy of the Britiih cabinet was juftiy confidera i-1 as eftaliUihed. r1 he Miniitcr Pleniuotcntuvry d His Britannk Maj» (ty lure propofed an adjuil- ment of the dirlerences more im* V I hare not been able to avert. It might at leait have been expected, that an enlightened nation, if lets urged by moral obligations or in- itcd by friendly diipolitions on the part of the U, States Would have found, in its true intereft a- lone, a fuiiicient motive to refpect their rights and their tranquillity on the highfeas ; that an enlarged obey would leave favored that ree and general circulation ot coin- merce, in which the Britiih nation is at all times intereiled, and which in times of war is the bed allevia¬ tion of its calamities to herlelf as well as the other belligerents •> and more eipecially, that the Britifii Cabinet, would not, for the fake of a precarious and furrepth ious intercourfe with hollile markets, have perfevercd in a eourfe ot mea- lurcs which r.eceilarily put at haz¬ ard the invaluable market of a Great and erowinff country, dilbo- fed to cultivate the mutual advan¬ tages of an -active commerce. Other councils have prevailed. Our moderation and conciliation have no other crTccT: than to en¬ courage perlcvcrance, and to en¬ large pretentions.

In rc\iewing the conduct ot G. Britain towards the \T. States our attention is ncccilanly drawn to t'ne warfare juif renewed by the lavages on one of our cxtenhve frontiers ; a warfare winch is known to fpare neither ae;c nor iex, and to be diftinguilhed by features peculiarly Clocking to Iiu- manity. It is dillieult to account for the activity and combinations which have forfomc time been de- velopincr tliemielves amonir tribes in t \c conftant inlerconrie with Britiih traders and garriibns, with¬ out connecting their hoilility with that influence : and without recol¬ lecting the authenticated exam¬ ples of fuch interpolitions hereto¬ fore furnifhed by the ofticers and agents of that Government.
