My long and continued ill health, will com pel me to relinquish my present pursuits.—l therefore offer for sale, the Printing office and establishment of the PETERSBURG INTELLIGENCER. This establishment is one of the oldest; and (I have no hesitation in saying) one of the most valuable in the State of Virginia. The sub scription list to the paper is very respectable, and daily augmenting.—-The advertising cus tom is extensive, and highly lucrative.—At the present time, there are perhaps few situations that afford more certain means of a steady and genteel support. The patronage awarded to the paper, is not fleeting and uncertain—for more than 27 years it has continued to lend its cheering influence, and to reward (amply re ward) the zeal and industry of the various pro prietors. At no time since the existence of the establishment, has this patronage flowed more warmly than at the present period. The Printing-Office is abundantly supplied with every requisite material—has always had and will no doubt retain (under proper manage ment) a full share of employment in the vari ous branches. The price of the Establishment and other particulars, may be known by written or perso nal applications to me. Letters (postage paid) will receive respectful attention. Clj 3 Persons who have subscribed, and paid in advance to a certain period, as well as those who may continue to do so, are assured, that, in case a sale is effected, an arrangement will be made to insure them their papers during the full period for which they may Lave paid.

AIR-GROSVENOR’S speech concluded Mr. Speaker—After the fust of November, after the official proclamation of the President had, in the face of the world, pronounced the Berlin and Milan decrees repealed or modified so as no longer to violate the neutral commerce of America, American vessels were captured on the sea and seized in France under these ve ry decrees, were prosecuted under these ve ry decrees, and never released from the grasp of these decrees, until late in the year 1811; and even then not released by virtue of the duke of Cadore’s pretended letter of repeal, hut in cot.sequence of special orders of the Emperor, founded on the act of March, 1811, which con firmed tire proclamation of the President, and established a non-importanen act against Eng land. If this proposition be true, all doubt is at an end. For folly or prejudice itself cannot believe, that those vessels were seized and held nearly a year under decrees which w.ere not. in existence. They cannot believe that the courts of France could act upon and enforce laws which a year before had been repealed and ex tinguished by the government. 1 will read to t..e House one case, selected as a fair specimen of numerous others. His the case of the New Orleans packet, detailed in a letter from Mr. 'Russell to the Sec’y of State, dated the 9th of June, 1811. That vessel arrived in France on the 3d of Dec. more than a month after the pro clamation of the President had been issued. Mr. Russell states, that on the sth of Dec. the director of the customs at Bordeaux seized her and her cargo under the Milan decrees of the 23d of Nov. and 17th of Dec. 1807, express ly set forth, for having come from an English port, and for having been visited by an English vessel of war.” The proclamation of the Pre sident arrived in France, and was received by Air. Russell, on the 13 h of the same month. He had on the 10lh presented a remonstrance against the proceeding and kept back the pro clamation. For what purpose did he thus act To test the question, he says, whether the French decrees were in truth revoked. To have used the proclamation, he says, “would be no thing better than absurdly and basely employ ing the declaration of the President, that the Berlin and Milan decrees had been revoked as the means of obtaining their revocation.” He therefore kept it back to ascertain “whether the American government had been shuffled in to the lead where national honor and the law required it to follow.” He did keep back the proclamation, and the question was decided— his remonstrance was disregarded. For he says, “that the proves verbal issued after his re monstrance was presented, expressly declares that the confiscation of this property was to be pursued before the imperial council of prizes at Paris, according to the decrees of the 23d of Nov. and the 17th of Dec. 1807, or in other words the decrees of Milan.” His remonstrances having effected nothing, Mr. Russell did proceed, absurdly and base ly,” to use the proclamation. He communicat ed it to the French government on the 17th of tile same month, and he says, from this very 1/th of Dec. aii inrther proceedings against the New Orleans packet were suspended.” These are the facts, and what is the infer ence '.if this honest and independent minister. It appears therefore, that the remonstrance of the 10th of D?c. arrested the proceedings complained of,” &c. Now, sir, it appears tome, that a more bare faced perversion of facts was never attempted by any minister. The remonstrance produced no effect whatever. Until the 17th, when the proclamation was presented, the vessel “was vigorously prosecuted.” From that moment all further proceedings against the New Or leans packet were suspended.” That instru ment alone arrested the proceedings com plained of,” not only against the New Orleans packet, but all other vessels which had been Captured after the first of Nov. This is demon strated by an order issued by the French gov ernment to the President of the Council of Prizes, on the 25th of Dec. exactly eight days after the Prociam: ion had been communicated by Mr. Russell—suffer me to read an extract from that order— In consequence of this engagement entered into by the government of the U. S. cause their rights to be respected, his maj sty orders that ail thecauses that may be pending in the council of prizes, of captures of American ves sels, made after the Ist of Nov. and those that may in future be brought before it, shall not be judged according to the principles of the decrees of Berlin and.Milan—-butthat they shall nmfin suspended; the vessels captured and s i zed to rem. 'm only in a state of sequestra tion, until the 2d of Feb. next, the period at which the U.S. having fulfilled the engagement to cause their rights to be respected, the-said captures shall be declared null by the council, and the American vessels restored, together with their cargoes, to the r proprietors.” No language can add to the force of this ex tra'i—it recognizes the Berlin and Milan de crees as existing against America. In conse quence of the “engagement,” contained in the proclamation, it suspends all proceedings a gainst our vessels, and says, when that “en gagement” shall be fulfilled” the vessels shall be restored. That engagement was fulfilled by the law of the 2d March, 1811, which, I have already stated, confirmed the proclamation of the President, and established a non-importa tion act against England. Ou the 28*h April, 1811, the French tyrant issued his repealing decree—l will read it to the House— TRANSLATION. PALACE OF ST. CLOUD. 28;/z April, 1811.

Considering that the said law is an act of re sistance to the arbitrary pretensions consecrat ed by the British ordeis in council, and a formal refusal to adhere to a system invading the in dependence of neutral powers and of their flag; we have ordered and decreed as follows The decrees of Berlin and Milan aie defini tively, and to date from the Ist Nov. last, con sidered as not existing in regard to American vessels. (Signed) NAPOLEON. By the Emperor, the Minister Secretary of State. (Signed) THE COUNT DARA. This decree is in perfect conformity to eve ry act and proceeding of the French govern ment. It fulfilled the promise made by the duke de Cadore, in his letter of the Bth ot Au gust. America, bv the proclamation and by the law of March, 1811, had resisted England and viriually declared war against her—she had fulfilled the conditions presented in that letter —in consideration of which the repealing de cree of France was issued. Whether that de cee was issued at the time it bears date, or ■whether by collusion with Mr. Barlow it was undated, is of no importance—in either case iv exhibits the true mealing of all the acts of France which preceded it. It proves the falsi- ty of the President’s proclamation, the fatal error of the law of March, and demonstrates that the American President was the dupe ot the tyrant, that he was shuffled into the lead where national honor and the law required that he should follow.” 1 have said, if the French repealing decree had been made known to the Congress, to the American people, and to England, in the spring of 1811, it would have prevented the present disastrous war. Permit me now to prove it. From the date of the President’s proclamation down to the very declaration of war, our gov ernment took the ground, that the French de crees were in truth repealed, by the letter of the Duke de Cadore, on the sth of Aug. preced ing and upon this basis demanded the revoca tion of the British orders in council. Britain, denying that Cadore’s letter was any repeal or modification, demanded the instrument of re peal issued by the Emperor, as the only ground on which she would revoke her orders. Neither the French or the American government pre tended that any such instrument was in exist ence—but the latter government, deceived by the arts of the arch juggler, assumed the fact, and founded thereon hostile proceedings a gait.st England. If the decree had been pub lished, it would have been impossible that the vile deception could longer have been cherish ed by either government, and Congress would have been forced by very shame to have re traced their steps, to have rescinded the pro clamation, to have repealed the law of March, and to have placed the country on the same ground which she occupied in May, 1810. A war with England could not then have follow ed—unless indeed the administration had been prepared openly to abandon all those principles of national honor, national independence, na tional justice,” and national policy, which they had adopted in the session of 1808. Yes, sir, even though the British orders had remained unrepealed and unmodified, the pub lication of that decree would have cut the Gordian knot,” released this country from the toils of the tyrant, and have averted, per haps for ever, this unnatural war. But sup pose in this I am mistaken, yet have we not every reason to believe that if the French re pealing decree had been known to England, she would have modified her orders in council, and continued pei.ee would have been the conse quence. Surely it is preposterous to pretend, if those orders had been revoked, that yet war would have been declared. The very reverse is proved, by all the acts of our government. In the message of the President, at the com mencement of the w r ar-session of Congress, the Orders in Council” are the burden of the complaint—impressment is not even mentioned. In all the correspondence between the two go vernments, which preceded the war, the Or ders in Council” constitute the great topic of discussion. In the correspondence which commenced be tween Mr. Foster and Mr. Monroe, on the 30lh of May 1812, and continued almost daily, down to the very declaration of war, the repeal of the Orders in Council was the only subject of discussion—and that alone was demanded, as a sine qua non to a restoration of a friendly in tercourse. Impressment, th nigh always a sub ject of difference between the two nations had never been by our government for a moment considered as a sufficient cause of war. Hence in the arrangement with the British Minister, Erskine, not a word is said, not a stipulation made on that subject. Hence in all the cor respondence which immediately preceded the war, the subject of impressment is rarely if ever mentioned—and hence, in this House and the Senate, the act declaring war passed upon the sale but delusive ground, that France had modified or repealed her decrees and that Eng land had refused to revoke or modify her or ders. Let me appeal to the members of this House who voted for the war. Would they have dared to have done that deed upon the subject of impressment alone? lam sure they vVould not—l speak not from personal knowledge—l speak from all that preceded, that accompani ed and that followed that dreadful measure. The subject of impressment was never swelled into that hideous form, i now wears; it never became “a dog of war,” until when the Or ders in Council Were revoked, and an armis tice demanded by England, it was dragged for ward to repel the demand and to justify the administration for wading deeper and deeper in blood.” But let gentlemen on this floor answer what they will of this, I am certain the people of this country would never have joined in the quixotic expedition. The cant of free trade and sailors rights,” heard only in the woods of the west where no trade exists, and no sailors are to be found, could not have drowned the voice of commerce, of agriculture, of justice and of peace. Let gentlemen on this floor answer what they may, I tell them, they could not they durst not have plunged this na tion into war it the British Orders’ in Council had been repealed or modified. But those or ders would have been repealed or modified, if ths French decree had not been concealed. On this subject no doubt can exist. And never was 1 more astonished than when I yes terday heard the hon. gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Calhoun) deny this position. Upon what grounds does he place this denial First, upon the letters of Mr. Foster to Mr. Monroe, which preceded the war. Sir, that correspondence 1 have perused, and a more singular, equivocal, weak and indistinct cor respondence I have never seen. It is undenia ble, that in some paragraphs of Foster’s letters, abstracted from the residue, something like the position of the ho:-, gentleman may be found. But even these abstracted from the rest are de clared by Mr. Monroe himself to be equivocal. The whole correspondence clearly proves that Mr. Foster never intended to declare, and never did definitively declare, that if an authentic in strument repealing the French decrees, so far as they violated the neutral commerce of Ame rica should be produced, England would not revoke her orders in a similar manner. On the contrary he throughout disputed even the par tial repeal of dhe French decrees and says the question whether England would revoke as to America, was premature, and could be discuss ed to no purpose, until America should produce aa authentic instrument of repeal. In the last letter which he. wrote to Mr, Mon roe, only four days before the final passage of the act declaring war, lie av. rs that his pre ceding letters had been misunderstood and misconstrued, and finally declares I will now say, that 1 feel entirely authorised to assure you, that, if you can at any time produce a full and unconditional repeal of the French decrees, as you have a rig ht to demand it in your charac ter of a neutral nation, and that it be disengag ed from any cornu clion with the question con cerning our mari ime rights, we shall be ready to meet you with a revocation of the Orders in Council.” However, then, in the course of Mr. Foster’s letters, some paragraphs may be selected, which, unconnected with what preceded and followed, might prove the position of thehon. gentleman, it is clear to me, that, when view ed as a whole, they neither prove or support it. 1 might demonstrate this, by wading paragraph by paragraph through the whole correspon dence. But this I shall omit, both because the hon. gentleman from S. Carolina has placed but little reliance upon the letters of Mr. Fos ter, and because in truth and in fact they have but little bearing upon the question. What is the question If the French repealing de cree of April 1811 had been made known to England at its date, would she have revoked her orders as related to America Mr. Fos ter’s letters can weigh but little, because at the very time they were writing, that decree was before the English government, and that government teas then deciding the very question. Of course, and most certainly we are not to look to the letters of Foster to decide the quest ion, but to the acts of the government it self. The gentleman from S. Carolina, aware of this, has resorted to an act of the govern ment—to the declaration of the Prince Regent, issued the 21st of April, 1812. On that paper he has planted himself. With a violence, and in a manner but little becoming his situation on this floor, and in language both improper and indecorous, he has avowed, that in that paper is contained an express avowal, that although France should repeal or modify her decrees, so as that they should cease to violate our neutral commerce, the English government would not repeal or modify its orders in the same manner.’ [Here Air. Bibb—then in the chair—called Mr. G. to order. He said it was disorderly to apply the epi diet indecorous,’ to any gentle man on that floor. Mr. Calhoun then rose and said, he should say nothing then —but would reply to Mr. G J Mr. G. —I have in my opinion described the ‘language’ of the hon. gentleman correctly. 1 have said no more than I understood the hon. gentleman tn admit in his explanation when called to order by a gentleman from N. Jersey, (Mr. Stockton) —But I bow to the admonition of the chair. The hon. gentleman proceeded to affirm, that thereafter, no gentleman on-this floor should dare’ to assert the contrary of his position. And he declared that he would prove the, man guilty of falsehood,’ who should make such an assertion. Sir, he has thus boldly thrown the gauntlet of defiance—l enter the lists and take it up—l do assert that the declaration of the Prince Regent contains no such avoibal. Thus, sir, there is a precise issue between that hon. gentleman and myself—l shall pa tiently await the execution of his threatenings. That declaration is founded on an official report to the French Senate, republishing in the broadest terms, the Berlin and Milan de crees as permanent laws of the Empire. It expressly denies any partial repeal in favor of America to have been made by France. It states the condition on which the Orders in Council will be revoked, hot partially, not in favor of America alone, but in favor of all the world. And states those conditions to be the express and unconditional repeal of the Ber lin and Milan decrees, by some authentic in strument of the British government.’ But in no part of it is there an intimation, either that the British government will, or will not, revoke or modify its orders as to America alone, in case France shall have repealed or modified her decrees, in favor of America alone. Such a case is not touched upon, or alluded to, in the declaration. The gentleman from South Carolina must therefore abandon his position. He cannot sustain i:, by any effort of violence or sophistry. But, sir, I in my turn, will put this ques tion at rest forever.’ I will not say what the gentleman from South Carolina dare do.’ 1 will not condescend to imitate his example of violence and threatening. But I will indulge the belief, that neither he, or any other gen tleman, shall have one honest doubt remaining. The government of England did, immediately upon receiving the French repealing decree, and in consequence of that very decree, revoke their orders in Council, so far as they violated the neutral commerce of America. Does not this fact speak in the language of demonstration to the judgment of any man who hears me. If in the spring of 1812 the publication of the French decrees did produce the revocation of the orders, would not the publication of the same decree have produced a like revocation in the spring of 1811 No man of sane mind and ordinary capacity can doubt it. But the hon. gentleman has said—even in June 1812, it was not the publication of the French decree, but the clamors of English merchants and mechanics, which produced the revocation. And this he infers from the fact, that the French decree was in possession of the English government fur 33 days, during ail which time the House of Commons were dis cussing the merits of the orders in council, before those orders were revoked. To the utter confusion of this fanciful hypo, thesis, I will read an extract from the English order of revocation. The order bears date the 23d of June 1812. And whereas the charge des affaires of the U. States of America, resident at this court did, on the 20th day of May last, transmit to lord viscount Castlereagh, oneofhis majesty’s principal secretaries of state, a copy of a cer tain instrument then for the first time commu nicated to this court, purporting to be a de cree passed by the government of Fiance on the 28th day of April, by which the decrees of Berlin and Milan are declared to be definitive ly no longer in force in regard to American ves sels.” He then states, that although the tenor of said instrument” does not satisfy the condi tions of his former declaration, yet wishing to re-establish the intercourse between neutral and belligerent nations, he therefore is pleas ed” to revoke his orders so far as they relate to American vessels and property. The Prince Regent does here expressly aver, that the conjectures of the hon. gentleman are visionary. He does declare, that his revocation is foun ded on the French repealing decree. But this cannot be true, says the hon. gentleman, be cause the Prince Regent received the French repealing decree on the 20th of May, and de layed his revocation until the 23d of June—A few facts will dispose of this captious objection. Mr. Perceval, the prime minister of England, was assassinated on the 10th of May. The mi nistry was at once substantially dissolved. The gentleman cannot have forgotten the ministeri al interregnum which ensued, and which con tinued for more than one month. He cannot have forgotten the various negociutions of Castlereagh and Liverpool, of Canning and of Wellesley, of Erskine, of Gray, of Grenville, and finally, of Moira. Nor can he but remem ber, that no ministry was established until after the 14th of June. Is not tnat gentleman aware, that without a responsible ministry, the consti tution of England does not recognize any act of its government, as legal and valid. He must know, that instantly upon the full re-es tablishment of the ministry, the subject was decided, md the orders in council revoked. Nor had the enquiries in the Howse of Commons or the pressure of the people” any decisive effect, in producing that revocation.— That pressure had long been felt by the people and long known to the English government the loud clamors of the people had long been heard without the slightest effect—Nor did the enquiry by the Commons produce one nev> fact to influence the revocation. No, sir, there is no reason to doubt the fact, that the receipt of the French decree produced the revocation of the orders in council on the 23d of June 1812 —Nor is there any pretence for saying, that the same cause would not have produced the same effect on the 23d of June 1811. With all these facts before us, is it not clear as the light of day, that if the repealing decree of France had not been concealed, if at the time of its date it had been made known to Con gress, to Britain and to the world, this war would have been averted And now, let me appeal to this House and to the people of America,, if this decree was communicated to Mr. Russell in April 1811, and by him suppressed, he merits and shall re ceive the everlasting execrations of his coun try. If either by Mr. Russel or the minister Surrurier, it was communicated to Mr. Alon roe, and by him concealed froirt the Executive, is there a niche in the temple of infamy suffi ciently infamous for him But if by any means the decree came to the knowledge of the Pre sident and if he, either through a paltry fear of proving bis proclamation false, or from any other motive buried it in darkness, and thereby delivered that country, which, by every bond human and divine he was bound to protect, over to all the miseries of an unnecessary and bloody war, what maledictions, can suit his con duct what new and horrible punishment is commensurate with the bloody crime? Sir— the President is old, and the reproaches of man may concern and move him but little—But he must soon appear at the bar of Immortal Jus tice If he has done this deed, how will he stand appalled before the accusing spirits of youth untimely slain in battle How will his soul recoil from those bloody ravages, that wide devastation, that mass of human misery, which his own guilty conduct shall have pro duced Shall I be asked, if I believe the executive has done this guilty deed I answer, frankly and sincerely, no—However pooriy I may think of the political character and conduct of the executive, I do not believe him capable of a crime of such complicated wickedness com bining all the blackest attributes of official turpitude, murder and treason. But, sir, my belief or disbelief, has nothing to do with the subject, (t is not to satisfy myself alone, that I press this call—l have a more exalted motive. I stand on higher ground—The honor, the pu rity of my native country is shrouded in dark ness. Sir, national honor is a plant of peculiar growth—ft can live and flourish only in the broad blaze of day—cover it with clouds and darkness, it withers and dies. The honor of my country cannot long survive amid the dark and pestilential vapors which han*; around it. To disperse those clouds vapors, to restore it to the genial beams of day that America,Europe and the world, may again behold it bright and unsullied; to frown contempt on the bloody des pot, who h striven to stain and destroy it— these are the objects—these I fondly hope will be the effects of this measure. Has this House considered the black and hi deous aspect which this subject now presents to the American people? Has it reflected that, at this moment, the foul accusation stands before this people and the yrorld,uncontradicted, unex arnined, unresented It it is suffered thus to remain in mystery, its truth w,ll soon be consi dered as established, and the stain cn the A-. merican character sb deeply fixed, as to defy every effort to wash it away. Sir, examine fora moment the circumstances of this dark affair. 1 have said that, from the date of the letter of the duke of Cadore, from August sth 1810, down to the 2>th of Alav 1812, the British government invariably refus ed to give credit to that letter, as a repeal or modification of the French decrees. That go vernment declared the letter false and jesuiti cal, and invariably demanded some authentic instrument of repeal issued by the French government itself For such an instrument, our ministers in France bad importuned the Em peror, always without success, until, on the UthofMay 1812, Mr. Barlow prevailed, and the decree of the 25th of April 1811 was pro duced. And here permit me to read a short extract from the letter of Mr. Barlow to Mr. Moi.roe, bearing date the 12th May 1812. In this letter is contained an account of the ignominious at tack upon the honor of the executive Vs hen in the conversation above alluded to, the duke first produced to me the decree of the 28th April 1811, I made no con.- ment on the strange manner in which it had been so long concealed from me, and probably from you. I only asked him if that decree bad been published—he said no, but declared that it had been communicated to my predecessor here, and likewise sent to Mr. Surrurier, with orders to communicate it to you. I assured him that it was not among the archives of this legation, that I never before had heard of it, &c.” Had the vile accusation been promptly con tradicted, no doubt would, or could have re mained, as to the truth or falsehood of the charge. But, by a strange fatality, every act of the executive, and of his ministers and a gents, has tended strongly to confirm its truth. Did Mr Barlow contradict it No he sim ply declared, that he a never before had heard” of the decree—Has Mr. Russell, the predeces sor” of Mr. Barlow, ever publicly denied it No; he has been well contented,tiiathis honor should remain stigmatised by the black accu sation. And what has been the conduct of the Execu tive The session of Congress in which the war was declared, did not terminate until the 6th of July. Mr. Barlow received the decree on the 10th of May preceding. Of course, unless there was uncommon delay, it must have been receiv ed by the Executive while Congress w r as in ses sion. Why, was it concealed from them Was it feared that, even then, if convinced of the perfi dy of France, the falsehood of the proclamation, the error of all their own acts founded on that proclamation, they would provide a remedy for all their errors, prevent the war Was it fear ed, that even then, the banquet of blood mightbe refused to the guests, whose knives were sharp ened and whose appetites were importunate fur the barbarous feast Locked up in the bosom of the Executive, it did remain until Congress met in the succeeding Nov. Then, surely, the foul accusation was communicated to the representa tives of the people then, surely, the feelings of wounded honor, of indignant innocence, smart ing under false imputation of guilt, burst forth in tones of denial, reproach and resentment 1 feel degraded, as an American, when 1 am forced to answer no. Still the Jmfamous imputation is concealed from the American people—from the representatives of the people, the peculiar guar dians of their interests and their honor. And never, until the 4th of March, the very last day, and almost the last hour of the session, was it dragged from its concealment, by a resolution of this House. Even then, not a word of denial, not a whisper of innocence, not a murmur of resentment is heard —If the subject is permitted to rest in its present mystery, by every rule of evidence and of common sense, what must be the inference What the decision of the world upon the conduct of the President Guilty, guilty, will be the universal verdict—and not a man will exist without this nation, who will doubt the justice of the verdict. We are asked, if the infamous Duke of Bas sano,” the author of the charge, is competent to excite a suspicion against our Executive Mr. Speaker, this minister is the official organ of the Emperor; he occupies the same office as did the Duke of Cadore, when he wrote the famous lei- ter of Aug. sth, 1810. The Executive then re cognized the act of the minister as the act of the government. By what article of logic shall be now be permitted, when his own character is in volved, to escape the rule which he then estab lished In this condition is this daik subject now placed The foul accusation has been made, of ficially made, by the government of France. By every motive of policy, of honor, of truth, the Executive was bound to stamp falsehood on the infamous charge, and indignantly to hurl it back upon the imperial calumniator. This honorable and virtuous course he lias not pursued. Let hs, now, as the guardians of American truth and ho nor, demand it at his hands. But a member from Tennessee (Mr. Rhea) has justified the [’resident in not denying the accu sation, or resenting the insult, it might, he lias told us, obstruct our negociations and injure ouc interests in France—in other words, the tyrant might resent our attempt to vindicate our honor. Mr. Speaker, have we arrived at that degene rate age of our republic, when a representative of the people dare advance such slavish doc trines on this floor What, sir, will you truckle to France to obtain justice Will you, like the crouching spaniel, patiently endure the whips and scorns of an outrageous tyrant, lest he should frown upon you O, my country if such is truly yonr degrad ed condition, mock the world no more with your,vain boasts of freedom If, to avoid the resentment and injustice of a tyrant, you must smile at insult, and become familiar with dis honor, tear in atoms your instrument of inde pendence, strike the proud Eagle from your escutcheon, and blot from jour history the names of Warren, Montgomery and Washing ton. No, sir, no, I never will believe unt 11 bear it from his own lips, that any president of this high-minded people has dared to dishonor his country upon motives and principles like this. Air. Speaker, there was a time when our Executive was not so slow to announce and to resent an insult offered to him and his minis ters. I allude to the famous “insult” offered by the British minister Jackson. That in sult,” as it was called, at the very worst, con sisted in a reflection on the honor and veracity of the Secretary of State. And how was it then received and treated—no consideration of con sequences was then permitted— -then the honor of the government must be vindicated, altho’ al the hazard of national prosperity, happiness and peace. A flame was kindled in the cabinet, which continued to blaze until the whole na tion become hot with indignation and fury. What then was the conduct of this House and of Congress They, too, caught the epidemic furj—joint resolutions were passed, solemnly pledging themselves to the American people, and to the world, to stand by and support the Executive government, to cal! into action the whole force of the nation to repel such insults, and to assert and maintain the rights, the honor and the interests of the U. S.” WTat a mighty spirit of honor and indigna tion is here exhibited agsinst a British minister, upon whom, by implication, an intention to in sult the honor of the Executive, had been fast ened. Now maik the astonishing, the inglori ous contrast—an injury, compared with which, the petty offence of the British minister changes its character and becomes applause, has been offered to our Executive by the mushroom des pot of France. How has it been received by the Cabinet In silence, in poor, mean-spirited si lence—nay, every effort has been made to cover it from the American people, and to conceal it from the world. For more than one year, the Executive has thus borne the basest insult which was ever offered to an independent peo ple. In the mean time, what has been the con duct of this House and of Congress Whether astonished at the tame endurance of the Presi dent, or resolved to share with him the dis grace, I know not—they, too, have been si lent. No blustering resolutions have appeared— no expression of resentment—and even now when the minority, forced by the inertness of the majority, have stepped forward, resolved to present the subject in its naked truth, andj to call on the executive to wipe the dishonor from his own character, and to vindicate the purity of this republic, how are they met Every covert obstruction is thrown in their way-—and although the majority shrink from open resistance to this honorable course, yet no effort is left untried to render it futile and unavailing. Mr. Speaker, do insults and inju ries change their nature with the change of persons who inflict them Is an English in sult one thing, and a French insult a different thing Is the one atrocious, and to be resisted and lesented “with the whole force of this nation,” and is the other innocent and to be borne with patience and submission When a Brinish minister “insinuates an in sult,” is this government to kindle a conflagra tion through tiie nation, threatening to con sume not only him, but our own happmess and peace and is the same government to bare its back to the “scorpion lash” of a French des pot, to receive wi-h composure and silent sub mission, the palpable calumnies, the barefaced insults of his mushroom ministers Let gentlemen examine well the ground on which they are treading There aie thousands and hundreds of thou sands of this people, who do believe that your councils are contaminated by the influence and guided by the hand of France. For a series of years they have beheld, or they think they have beheld, the hand of the despot in our affairs. They have seen, or they think they have seen, their government the unresisting dupe of French intrigue, tl e tame object of French insult and injury. If it so please you, call these men tofies —cal! them the friends of England—call them the victims of delusion— call them what you will, still, until you “can rail their judgments from their minds,” or until your councils change, such will continue their honest belief. By rejecting these reso lutions you fix their opinions forever. If they are deluded, you establish their delusion be yond the possibility of removal. On the other hand, if you pass these resolutions, and it in consequence thereof, the president shall dis solve the darkness, shall step forth to the public pure and unspotted—ifbe shall evince that he lias felt and acied as it became the chief of a high minded and free people if he has repell ed and resented the base imputation, happy beyond measure,happy will be the consequences of this proceeding. On my conscience, I be lieve it will go farther to destroy all suspicion of French influence, it will go farther to re store confidence to the executive than any other mean that could have been selected. fDebate to be continued J BROWN STOUT.

WASHINGTON CITY. SATURDAY, JULY 3. THE PRESIDENT Continues convalescent. The pro gress of his recovery from the severe illness with which he has been afflict ed, is more favorable than the most san guine anticipations of his family and his physicians. A bill has passed both Houses of Congress, nearly unanimously, for au thorising the building a number of barges (or row-gallies) for the defence of tiie shores waters of the U. States. This is a species of defence relied on with much confidence by gentlemen deemed well qualified judges of such matters; and we trust, when carried into execution, will at least partially arrest the British marauding and de predating parties in our rivers and our shoal waters. BC? 0 ?'o afford an opportunity to the persons employed in our Office to join in the celebration, of the Anniversary of the. glorious Fourth of July, which takes place on Monday next, no paper will be issued from this Office on Tuesday next. Richmond, June. 30. From a source entitled to perfect confidence we have the following com munication Wednesday morning, 39‘.h June, 1813, half past three o’clock. 1 A letter from Captain Marks, of the Prince George Cavalry, acting as videttes, was this morning brought to the Governor, announcing the move ments of the enemy up James River. Yesterday morning seventeen vessels, exclusive of barges, were in sight of the Bay Warehouse. There were three brigs, the residue were sloops and schooners. Twelve barges and a schooner have passed around Ilog Islan amt, op posite Williamsburg, am proceeded up the river. The larger vessels were coming to opposite the mouth of Lawn’s creek (probably Lyon’s creek) and four large ships above Newport Noose.— Yesterday the barges of the enemy cap tured a small schooner opposite the mouth of Lawn’s creek. For the information of our country readers, we may state that all is anima tion and military bustle here. Troops of cavalry and infantry are hourly pour ing in from the upper counties. The different corps vie with each other in celerity of movement to reach Rich mond—all in high spirits. Norfolk, June 29. Movements of the enemy.—Yester day four frigates and some tenders, from the squadron in Hampton Roads, proceeded up James River—we cannot with certainly say how far. FROM LAKE ERIE. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Erie, to his friend in Pittsburg, dated June 20. On Tuesday last the Queen Char lotte, and a large armeu schooner er made their appearance off this har bor. They had coasted down this side of the lake from Cleveland, and at the mouth of Astlabula, sent a boaton shore and took off an ox. They left eight dollars for the owner of it, with written directions, that if it was not enough, they would pay him the balance on their return. It appears they were looking out for Captain Perry, who was coming up from Buffaloe with five vessels which had been fitted out at the Navy Yard be low Black Rock, and it was an object for them to prevent the junction of these vessels with the ones preparing here. Captain Perry arrived here unmo lested on Thursday evening. The ene my had not kept a sharp look out, for that morning both squadrons were seen off the mouth of Chatauque at the same time, not more than 14 miles apart, by a boat that was about an equal distance from each. The enemy steered down the lake afterwards, and chased a boat into the mouth of Cataragus the same afternoon. The boat has since arrived here; it came on after the enemy passed. It may be thought a very fortunate escape of captain Perry, as the vessels he had with him were not able to con tend with so superior a force, and had they been taken it might have frustrat ed all our operations on lake Erie for this season. Three of them were brought over the bar yesterday, and the other two will be in to-day. We have now a force here of 11 ves sels, two of which will carry 30 guns each.— Mercury CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, JULY 2. Mr. Newton reported a bill for esta blishing in the town of Mobile a port of entry which bill was twice read and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Mr. Fisk, from the committee of elections, to whom was referred a re solution directing an inquiry into the legality of the election of John M. Bow ers, a sitting member from the state of New York, made a report, concluding with the following resolution Resolved, That the further consideration of this subject be postponed to the first Wednes day in the next session of Congress. And the report was concurred in. Mr. Crawford, from the select com mittee appointed to consider the same made a report on the petition of James Lloyd, recommending a reference there of to the Secretary of the Navy, with a direction that he cause such experiments and inquiries to be made in relation to the invention of Mr. Lloyd, as he may judge proper, &c. The report was concurred in. Mr. Nelson having reported the a greement of the naval committee to the amendment of the Senate to the bill to reward the officers and crew of the United States’ ship Hornet, the same was referred to a committee of the whole; as also was the bill from the Senate authorising the building of barges for the defence of the ports and harbors of the United States, which had been referred to the same com mittee. BARGES OR ROW-GALLIES. The House then, on motion of Mr. Nelson, resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Alston in the chair, on the bill last mentioned. After a short but animated debate on this bill (a sketch of which shall be given in our next) the committee rose, and reported the bill to the House which was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, in the following words: Be it enacted, &c. That fur the protection of the ports and harbors of the United States, the President shall cause to be built, without delay, such number of barges as he may deem necessary, to be armed, equipped, and manned as he may direct, of a size not less than forty five feet long, and capable of carrying heavy guns.” The bill was subsequently read a third time and passed, without a division. DEFENCE OF MARITIME FRONTIER. On motion of Mr. Troup, the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr, Nelson in the chair, on the bill to amend the act in addition to the act for raising an additional military force. The first section of the bill authorizes the enlistment (at the discretion of the Executive) of five of the regiments of what are usually called the twelve months’ men (authorized by an act of last session) to be for and during the war, instead of twelve months, to be limited, as to service, to the defence of the seaboard of the United States, or of such part thereof as the President may elect and determine. This section having been read— Mr. Troufi explained the views of the military committee in recommending the passage of this bill. He spoke of the state of defence of our sea-board. It would be indiscreet and imprudent, he said, to enter into an explanation of the state of our sea-ports, as to their rela tive state of defence. It was true, that all our sea-ports might not be perfectly defended but the situation of the U. States in this respect was pretty much the situation of every country engaged in a state of war. It was never practi cable for any government to place be yond the reach of insult every point of its frontier. If our population were a thousand times more dense, if our mili tary resources were a thousand times greater, we should not be able effec tually to protect our sea-coast. When we look at Holland and France, with their dense population, and multiplied resources, and find that they are not at all times exempt from apprehen sion and danger, we feel the less dis position to be dissatisfied at the pre sent state of our maritime fortifications and defence. Notwithstanding the de fence of our harbors is by no means per fect, it is at least respectable; and near ly complete, so far as fortificat.ons are efficient to that end. Mr. T. said he could go further than this, and say that the maritime cities of Europe are not generally better defended than ours. Supposing for a moment that the for tifications on our sea-board could be extended into a line of battery or re doubt along the coast, you would have a heavy piece of artillery at every dis tance of 1400 yards. This must be considered at least a tolerable defence. A few additional fortifications, how ever, were yet required, and a force adequate to man them. True it was, Mr. T. said that we had men in abun dance in service, militia and volunteers —but militia and volunteers would not do for garrison duty. It would be idle for him at this day to enter into an argument to shew that this species of force was not serviceable for garrison duty. It was necessary to substitute this force by one of a different descrip tion, better qualified for that duty. It was therefore preposed to raise five re giments of men exclusively for this purpose which, with five regiments of the twelve months’ men authorised to be raised on the Atlantic border, and five regiments of other troops to be retained in service, would make an aggregate of 15,000 men for the de fence of our maritime frontier. Mr. T. however wished so to modify the bill as that the destination of this force should be subject to be changed by act of Congress, if Congress should hereafter deem it expedient and he moved an amendment to that effect. After a desultory debate, in which Messrs. Troup, Gholson, Wright,Clay, Grosvenor, Bradley and Taylor took part, principally turning on the propri ety of enlisting men for a particular service or destination—this amendment was negatived, 58 to 52. Mr. Bradley moved to strike out the whole of that part of the section which restricts these men to a particular ser vice which motion was negatived. The remaining sections of the bill, re lating to minor amendments in the ex isting laws relating to the army, were struck out, on motion of Mr, Troup, and the bill as amended was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report ol the committee of Elections unfavor able to the petition of John Taliaferro, contesting the election of John P. Hun gerford. At the usual hour of adjournment the committee rose, after much debate, without having gone through the busi ness, and were refused leave to sit again. And the House adjourned. The sub ject being still before them, will again come up to-morrow. wniiaWiW DEFENCE OF THE DISTRICT, &c. [communication. We have received the following com munication from a citizen, with whom we agree only in his zeal for the de fence of the city A number of ci izens are desirous to know what has been dune by the committee, who were appointed by the Mayor to carry into ef fect the resolutions adopted by the last town meeting. If at so alarming a crisis as the pre sent, they will neither execute the duty assign ed them nor resign, will it not become the duty of the Mayor to call a town meeting for the purpose of removing them, and authorizing the appointment of others!” Newport, June 23. Last week the Circuit Court of the United States held its session in this town. His honor Judge Story delivered a very solemn and im pressive charge to the grand jury, in which the learned Judge dwelt with particular emphasis on the crime of treason, and the necessity of a due observance of the laws. We regret not having it in our power to gjve this masterly performance to our readers. At this court an interesting argument was expected on the part of Mr. Woodward, of New York, for the erptors, and Mr. D. xter of Bos ton, and Mr. Burrill of Providence, on the plea of the claimants, in the case of the ship Auro ra, prize to the privateer Governor Tompkins of New York. But it appealed to be the opi nion of the hon. Judge, that the argument on this subject was swperceded by his recent de cision at Boston, in the cage of the Julia, upon which a judgment of condemnation had taken place upon principles similar to those which grounded the judgment in the case of the Au rora. This question has excited much public sen sibility, and we are happy in felicitating those who are attached to the prosperity of their own country, in the hope of such an eventuation of this case as will preserve and purify our mari time and commercial reputation. The British property on board the American ship Euphrates, from Liverpool, sent into this port, in September last, by tiie privateer Ros sie and the Britislj property on board the American ship Frances, from Liverpool, sent into Bristol by the privateer Yankee has been adjudged to the captors against the claims of the consignees and of the U. States. Appeals from the decrees have been taken in the most important claims, and by the United States. The British property on board of both ships is estimated at ^400,000. SPANISH VILLAINY. The sch. Saratoga, of New-York, captured in Feb. last, @n the coast of Caraccas, a British brig bound to S. America, laden with dry goods, put a prizemaster on board, and ordered her for the U. States. Falling short of wa ter, the brig put into Laguira for a sup ply, where she was seized, and sold on account of the Spanish government. The prize master and crew were put in irons and sent to Havanna, where they have been confined at hard labor in the arsenal ever since, treated in a most shameful manner, and one of them severely flogged for refusing to enter on board a Spanish man of war. Sub scriptions were raising among the Americans lor their relief. JO® We are in hopes our govern ment will be prompt in their demand of an explanation of such conduct. Balt. Fatriot. DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP 1” said the gallant Lawrence, even in the moments of delirium. Such an exclamation was the offspring of true valor, the noblest trait of a noble soul. Perhaps a stronger and more honorable instance of the prevalence of the ruling passion., to the last, is not to be found. It exemplifies what the English poet propheciedof his patriotic countryman: And you, brave Cobham, in your latest breath, Shall feel the ruling passion strong in death; Such in that moment, as in all the past, 0 save my country, Heaven shall be vour last.” Ib. REPUBLIC OF MEXICO. [The following is a hasty translation of the principal parts of the Declaration of Independence by the province of Texas, a member of the great Mexican Republic, which has politely been furnished the Editor by Col. S. Kemper. It was proclaimed bn the fourth of April, in the city of Santo Antonio de Behar, when a provisional form of government was adopted.—The fail of St. Antonio may be considered as having decided the fate of that interesting coun try. Il is understood that great numbers are flocking from all quarters to the stand ard of Bernardo, j Time Piece Ed. We, the people of the province of Texas, calling on the Supreme Judge of the Universe to witness the rectitude of our intentions, declare, that the ties which held us under the domination, of Spain and Europe, are for ever dissolv ed that we possess the right to estab lish a government for ourselves that in future all legitimate authority shall emanate from the people, to whom al one it rightfully belongs, that hence forth all allegiance or subjection to any foreigh power whatsoever, is entire ly renounced. A relation of the causes which have conduced to render this step necessary, is due to our dignity, and to the opin ion of the world. A long series of oc urrences, originating in the weakness and corruption of the Spanish rulers, has converted that monarchy into the theatre of a sanguinary war, between two contending powers, itself destined the prize of the victor akin, in the power and subject to the authority ol one of them, the miserable wreck of its government in the possession of the o ther, it appears to have lost the sub stance and almost the form of sove reignty. Unable to defend itself on the Peninsula, much less to protect its distant colonies; those colonies are a bandoned to the caprice of wicked men, whilst there exists no power to which they may be made responsible for the abuse of their authority, or for the consequence of their rapacity. Self preservation, the highest,law of nature, if no other motive, would have justified this step. But,independent of this ne cessity, a candid world will acknow lege that we have had cause amply suf ficient, in the sufferings and oppres sions which we have so long endured. Governments are established for the good of communities of men, and not for the benefit and aggrandisement of individuals. When these ends are per verted to a system of oppression, the people have a right to change them for a better, and for such as may be best a> dapted to their situation. Man is form ed in the image of his Creatar; he sins who submits to slavery. Who will say that, our sufferings were not such as to have driven us to the furthest bounds of patience, and to justify us in estab lishing a new government, and in choo ing new rulers, to whom we may in trust our happiness We were governed by insolent stran gers, who regarded their authority only as the means of enriching themselves by the plunder of those whom they were sent to govern, while we had no parti cipation either in national or municipal affairs. We feel with indignation the un heard of tyranny of being excluded from al! communication with other na tions, which might tend to improve our situation, physical and moral. We were prohibited the use of books, of speech, and even of thought—our coun try was our prison. In a province which nature has favor ed with uncommon prodigality, we were poor. W’e were prohibited from cultivating those articles which are suitable to our soil and climate, and of pressing necessity. The commerce of our country was sold to the favorites of the court; and merchandize were sup plied under the enormous exactions of the monopolist. A barbarous and shame ful inbospitality was manifested to strangers, even to our nearest neigh bors. The product of our soil and of our country were alike denied exportation. Our trade consisted in a trifling system of smuggling. Every path which led to fame or hon or was closed upon us. We were denied participation in public employ ments wc had no rank in the army maintained in the bosom of our country. Wc expected no promotion in a church to which we have ever been faithful and obedient sons. We saw the mighty monarchy of Spain threatened with destruction, and our oppressions were forgotten we flew to her assistance like faithful and submissive vassals. As a reward for our faithful services, a sanguinary vag rant, distinguished in his own country by no honorable action, is sent amongst us, and his government exhibited only acts of cruelty, insatiable avarice and augmented oppression. Nothing but the specious promise that a general assembly of the Cortes would be con vened could have restrained us. Ex perience has shewn this hope to be il lusory. Some miserable wretches, styling themselves the rulers of Spain, have sold us to a foreign power, for a term of years, in order to procure the means of consigning us forever to the most ignominous servitude. The Spanish colonies of South Ame rica,have long since declared and main tained their independence the Unit ed States prove to us by an experience of thirty years that such a separation may be attended with national and indi vidual prosperity. We conceive it a duty wc owe as well to ourselves as to our posterity to seize the moment which now offers itself, of shaking off the yoke of European domi nation, and of laboring in the cause of the independence of Mexico taking Hie authority into our own bands, fornv ing laws, and of placing the- govern ment of our country upon a sure and film basis, and by this means assume a rank among the nations of the world.

Conditions —Each number will contain from 140 to 160 octavo pages, printed on fine medium paper, and with an elegant new type, cast in Philadelphia for the work.
