Reports have reached us, that serious

trict of Main — hat th • jail in Augusta
has been burnt, and an attempt made to
burn the court hous —that the custom
h *use officers h id been dr v n from their
posts, and that Hour hail been exported
in op _*n day. W sincerely hope these
reports may prove unfounded. .Much as
we question ihe policy ol the embargo,
and ardently as we wish lor its repeal,
we should extremely lament any oppo
sition to it bv lorcc, and detest the man
who could resort to such a measure.—
During the existence of any law which
has been constitutionally enacted, it is
liie imperious duty of every citizen to
comply w ith its requisitions, and give
.efficacy to its provisions.

Georgia, dated March 14,1808.

the citizens of Mobile and Pensacola,
i hey are almost in a state of starvation.
Corn is four dollars per bushel—.bacon
50 cents per pound, hog’s lard one dol
lar per quart, fowls nine dollars per do
zen. What they will do by summer, if
the embargo continues, I cannot say.
44 A ship loaded with coffee, carrying
JO men and 24 guns, under American
colours, has been taken by the Spani
ards, and her cargo is now sellint? at
Pensacola.” b
