He distinctly states,' that he was n&t opposed to the embargo as a preparative step) to war but that the basis of this opposition to ity was, that it was intended " as a refuge fronk war." We cannot believe that his opinion will jiirove to have been correct. VJf Wi lqV that t&A embu was designed as a mean of evading hjariorable war, we should raise' our yoices against, We should pronounce it 'to be ja 'roosfpe rnici$is measure.

And We can tell Mr. Quincy, that if he is anxious to have a navy, he ought to be an ad. vocate" for war.
