It waareceatly reported in Halifax, that
the British government had communicated
the form 4f a new treaty to the American

this report was considered as corroborated
by the saving of the Packet direct from

that the enemy it preparing to carry on a

surrounding; for Marshal Ney has been
before the city since the day before yester
day ; and on the 38th all the troops from
Salamanca, and adjoining places, marched
with 39 pieces of heavy Artillery for this

their camp which indicate unusual disposi

cutnvallatjon from one aide of the river to
the other. The only passage which re
mains open to us is over the bridge to the
fields of Arganham and Robledo. I have
made the necessary arrangements to pre
pare this place for a siege, and freeing it
of all useless months and cowards, who
might be detrimental. I trust every thing
will go well; and that we shall defend our -
selves with the vigour becoming so just a

which we are animated.**

RICHARD JACKSON, jvx. Esq.
The difficulties, embarrassments and ca
lamities which have been brought upon
our country, by an abandonment of the poli
cy and advice of Washington, ought to
convince us of the danger of comm ft ting
the interests of the nation to the control of
those who are unworthy of that sacred
trust. For more than fourteen months did
the embargo shed its pestilential And blast
ing influence upoh the industry and energy
of the nation. Thousands of our most use
ful and enterprising citizens, whose dili
gence and exertions had before procured
them the comforts and conveniences of life,
suddecly saw themselves and their families
reduced to poverty and distress, and de
prived of every means of subsistence, while
the various and abundant productions of
our country were perishing for the want
of a market. We have seen our harbours
blockaded by American ships of war, and
the houses of our peaceful citisens, the sa
cred dwellings of liberty and domestick
quiet, violated and ransacked by a milita
ry force. Millions of the people’s motiey
have been squandered on a swarm of gun
boats, which were of no possible use at the
time, but as instruments, in the bends of
administration, for the destruction of com
merce. By these baneful, arbitrary and
expensive measures, an overflowing treasu
ry has been exhausted, and the govern
ment compelled to have recourse to loans
for support. It wfo during that calamitous
period, that the indignant voiep of a frwa
people dismissed from tfrelr employment,
those unprofitable servants who had thus
basely betrayed and abused their confi
dence, and supplied their places by the pa
triotick citisens above named. Obedient
to the call and wishes of their constituents,
they exerted themselves with ability and
success, to remove the evils which were
crushing and ruining the nation. The em
bargo and other restrictions upon trade
have been withdrawn, and instantly all the
numerous classes of society have perceived
and experienced the reviving power of
a free and unshackled commerce- The
cheering sounds of industry are again heard
in our cities, and the farmer reaps the rich
rewards of his labours, in a quick and ad
vantageous sale of all the productions of
tgriculiure. Let, then, every friend to the
peace, liberty and prosperity of his coun
try, exert himself with activity and zeal,
to promote the re-election of the meritori
ous characters, who.have had so important
a share in producing this salutaty change,
and whose conduct has, on all occasions,
shown them to be.worthy of the highest
confidence of the people.
