More empty treasuries than ours.—The consequences of complying with Bonaparte's anti-commercial system, have been precisely similar on both sides of the Atlantic.—Russia has lately by an Ukase declared her treasury to be bankrupt. The miserable king of Denmark is worse than bankrupt. Whilst his own subjects will not trust him, he is compelled to mortgage his province of Holstein, and, we suppose, all our Tonningen property with it, to the Dutch to obtain supplies of money. According to late accounts, which the reader may peruse under the Salem head, Bonaparte is thought to be about to foreclose the mortgage by taking the property into his possession. In doing this, we wish more than we can hope, he may not, like a griping landlord, seize the moveables which do not belong to his debtor.

That our treasury is as empty as that of either Russia or Denmark, Mr. Gallatin has candidly informed us; and we know the drain has been occasioned by the same means which exhausted theirs, that is to say, the hand of Bonaparte has done it.—To all he dictated his system of living without trade. His agent, Jefferson, acquiesced and sent a message to congress for laying the embargo, & it was laid. But the scorn of an impartial world and the contempt of posterity will never forsake the authors of our dishonor and ruin. We envy them not the votes of democrats, or the honest and sincere among them will not very long be their dupes, and they are welcome to all the incense with which the tainted breath of faction can comfort them.
