I told you that I thought ht rotild n't do otherwise than set upon the opinion tol ptrsmsions of his fritnds ; and that he had I V txpl jyied his motives with the utmost candor and t Luii.tss. I think so still. I myself know nothing to the contrary.

The declarator! of war a gainst Amvica, was, as I understand, stated to have been delayed by the government of this coun try for the sake of sweeping into the Koy!Chtst a large sum of Droits of Admiralty, to be disposed ot at the pleasure of ministers, for prodigality and corruption. Gentlemen, I would fain believe that this assertion cannot have been. made. -An ac count of the distribution of the Droits of Admiral ty has, as is well known, beer, submitted to the house of commons the last two years j and, sure ly, tp attribute a measure of peace or war to a de sire on the part of government to disappoint our captors for the s ike of getting possession of a sura, of which the dispoial is, after all, to be made pnuncj is io auriDUte measures to motives not only altogether unworthy, but utterly inadequate and absurd. "I say this the rather because I must fairly own that differing as I do eli'irely as to the causes to whi' h the delay in to be attributed, I am inclined to agieeihat the declaration of war egainst Ame rica has been delayed too lonff. When all hones of preserving peace were vanihedr nothing re- iiiairica, in my opinion, tor this government but prompt and vigorous war. It was the only course becoming this great country.

I. and were scccessful in recover ing the mail, which bad been thrown overboard. A letter from France mentions an expectation 'that imperial licenses would soon issue for the importation of all kinds of colonial prducf It is stated, on the same authority, that the highest encouragement is given to American commerce xn 1 tne French ports, since the declaration of war against England. We doubt it. JVery litde anxF- ety is discovered, on the part of our merchants, to ship cargoes to France. Indeed, what could they send ? Neither British goods, if they had them, nor colonial produce, if they could procure it. And as to our own products, the demand for them is so small, and that too of a very limited number of articles, that the profits of the pitiful trade would not justify the risk of prosecuting it. But the policy of that wily government, in holding ut favorable expectations, is very manifest. We may feed upon them while we are doing Bona pane's service Barlow, our minister, has gone, as we understand, to meet the Emperor at Wilna, whither that soveriegn had returned from Mos cow. There final arrangements for a treaty, fa vorable to the United States, are to be made ! . Highly probable, indeed ! that Napoleon, who has ventured as far as Moscow, to enforce his purpose of annihilating commerce, will throw open his ports to a people, whose aid in his schemes he has been able to secure, without extending towards them a single act of justice or of liberality. Bo naparte needs the United States . as a cat t flaw t nit while he can threaten or capb us into com nliance, we need not expec that he will bargain iqr tne blood ol our citizens with any other coin. ; -'."v ; -.j.: ;'..'--'-v., ' ' .
