VERMONT LEGISLATURE.
The following patriotic sentiments were unanimously adopted by the General Assembly of Vermont, at their late Session at Woodstock. WE, the Governor, Council, and House of Representatives of the State of Vermont, viewing with indignation and abhorrence the violent and unjustifiable conduct of the cruisers of his Britannic Majesty, in the impressment and murder of American citizens and the plunder of their property upon the high seas, and even in the very entrance of our harbors, and more especially in the late hostile attack made with circumstances of unparalleled malignity upon the American national frigate Chesapeake, by the British ship of war Leopard. Do Resolve, That at this awful crisis, when our national honor and independence are insulted by a nation with whom we, forgetful of former injuries, have not only endeavored to cultivate harmony, by preserving a strict and perfect neutrality, but to conciliate their friendship by every act of benevolence, humanity and assistance, compatible with justice due to ourselves and to others, it is the duty of every American to rally around the constituted authorities of his country, and to support them with his life and fortune, in resisting any encroachments on our national and individual rights, by any foreign power whatever, and in procuring redress for the many injuries we have sustained, and which our patient and friendly forbearance has suffered too long,—injuries, committed in a manner unusually barbarous, and calculated to fix an indelible disgrace upon the British character. And it is further Resolved, That we do accord our warmest approbation to the measures adopted by the President of the United States on this trying occasion, and that we have the most perfect confidence in his wisdom, integrity and ability to direct the energies of the government as to preserve our honor as a nation free from taint or reproach, and our liberties, as individuals, secure from violation—And we do farther, for ourselves and our constituents, declare—that, fearless of the dangers to which we may be exposed as a frontier state, we shall be ever ready to obey the call of our common country, whenever it shall be necessary either for the purpose of redress or vengeance. And Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolution be made and immediately transmitted to the President of the United States. A true Copy. Attest, TH: LEVERETT, Secretary of State. To the foregoing the President has been pleased to make the following Reply: Washington, Dec. 1, 1807. SIR.—The Secretary of State has communicated to me your letter to him of the 14th of November, covering the resolutions of the General Assembly of Vermont of the 4th of the same month. The sentiments expressed by the General Assembly of Vermont on the late hostile attack on the Chesapeake, by the Leopard ship of war, as well as on other violations of our maritime and territorial rights, are worthy of their known patriotism; and their readiness to rally round the constituted authorities of their country, and to support its rights with their lives and fortunes is the more honorable to them as exposed by their position in front of the contest. The issue of the present misunderstanding cannot now be foreseen;—but the measures adopted for their settlement have been sincerely directed to maintain the rights, the honor, and the peace of our country: and the approbation of them expressed by the General Assembly of Vermont is to me a confirmation of their correctness. The confidence they are pleased to declare in my personal care of the public interests, is highly gratifying to me, and gives a new claim to every thing which zeal can effect for their service. I beg leave to render to the General Assembly of Vermont, and to yourself the assurances of my high consideration and respect. TH: JEFFERSON. His Excellency Governor Smith.
FROM THE AURORA. THE AMERICAN MILITARY LIBRARY. Three numbers of this work are now published, and the judgment of men of the best experience has been passed upon it—Hitherto, it was suffered to make its way to the public upon its own intrinsic merit; and has experienced a reception equal, at least, to the expectations of the compiler; who assumes no other merit, in the work than that of publishing it at a period when the want of military information was every where felt; and the pains and expense incurred in collecting all that was to be obtained of the best modern writers on the art of war. The American Military Library is, in fact, a careful and comprehensive abstract of all that is to be found on tactics in the present eventful times. No similar work, so comprehensive in its nature, has ever been published in the English language—much experience and labor have been bestowed in the importation of modern works, and their spirit has been incorporated into this. The system of STEUBEN, excellent as far as it goes, and well adapted to its particular province at the period of its introduction; was, nevertheless, even then, too limited for general utility, in a country where military writings were rare.—Modern improvements, in every department of military science, have rendered Steuben's book, even less useful than before; and it has been, in fact, exploded not only in the discipline of the troops of the United States; but has been superseded, with the best effects, in volunteer corps and regiments of militia. Steuben was confined wholly to infantry—the discipline of light infantry, and the various kinds of light troops, such as riflemen, is not to be found in it.—No discipline for any description of horse or artillery; no adequate instruction for the active duties in camp, or quarters, are contained in it.—No rules for the discipline or parade duties of officers.—No instructions or ideas tending to explain, or discover the principles of co-operation among the different species of troops in actual service.—No movements for brigade or line: No principles of movement, as to measure, cadence, time or distance:—No ideas of the all important duties of the staff:—No instructions for acquiring a knowledge of ground for camp or action:—No rules or ideas for going into action, nor for distributing or moving troops in action, nor what troops were fitted for any particular service:—None of these all important, and essential branches of military knowledge are to be found in Steuben. It is obvious, that on the verge of a war these various kinds of knowledge cannot be too generally diffused & acquired. To obtain these various kinds of knowledge, from detached books, would require more than two hundred volumes, and in that mass of books the discordancy of opinion, between the partisans of different systems and theories, too well calculated to instruct the recluse and opulent student; tend only to confuse those who are solicitous to approach and know practical result, rather than discuss them as objects of curiosity. It was to provide a practical military library, this work was undertaken; and the quantity of its contents, compared with the lowness of its price, will show that utility was the first consideration; and profit the last. The first number alone, contains the contents of three volumes of English books—which cost nine dollars!—Besides much original reflection, and the adoption of the whole to the forms of expression and habits of thinking of our own country, so as to render the improvements in the art of war an addition to the old stock of knowledge, rather than an abrogation of the knowledge previously possessed. The French system of discipline and manœuvres, is now adopted by all nations—because it is a simplification of all previous systems. It is the best basis of instruction in every department extant—its adoption by those who have been overcome by it, is the best commentary, did not its success demonstrate its superiority. This whole system has been translated specially for the Military Library; and will be illustrated by numerous drawings, plans and diagrams.

The compiler does not presume to offer this work as a substitute for Steuben; but this much is certain, that this work will contain the whole of the modern theory and discipline of the art of war, excepting what relates to Fortification.
But this work will comprehend Field Fortification, and will be illustrated by more than sixty drawings, which will enable any officer, even without mathematical knowledge, to perform the field duties of laying out ground, erecting field works, and conducting the details of camp duty, without mathematical instruments.
The work being now very forward: it will be comprehended in about nine numbers, making two handsome volumes; and may be fairly, and without apprehension of mistake or invidiousness, be said to offer more general and useful information in such a compass, and at a smaller expence than any similar work hitherto published in any country.
Orders for the work, either in numbers or in volumes, will be received by the publisher at Philadelphia.
Printers who think that this work may prove useful, will if they wish to promote that utility, give this article one insertion or more.
From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. EMBARGO.
About sufficient time has elapsed to ascertain the impression made on the public mind by the embargo. As far as this impression has been ascertained, the sentiments we expressed at the time it was imposed have been completely verified. Among the Agricultural and manufacturing classes of the community it has excited no dissatisfaction. It has rather been hailed as a just claim upon their patriotism and fortitude, as one of those severe and strong measures to which true friendship does not hesitate to resort in extraordinary cases. No state in the Union will sustain so much temporary inconvenience from it as that of Virginia; and no equal number, perhaps, of individuals in the nation feel these evils more sensibly than those who compose her legislature. For no state in the Union relies so great a surplus of productions which depend so entirely on a foreign market for their disposal; and it is probable that the stake which the members of her legislature have in such disposition is greater than that of the same number of men in any other state. Yet we perceive, to their honor, that in a crisis of national danger, they spurn the idea of allowing any competition either between their personal interests and the public safety, or of enjoying for a moment, the benefits of an exposed commerce at the risk of the ultimate prosperity of their country. Their vote of approbation, by its near approach to unanimity, shews that a hostile party spirit either does not exist at all, or that it is too small to excite the smallest uneasiness.
It is true that as a party, the federalists opposed this measure. But of whom does this party consist? Of a few leaders as they have heretofore justly been called; but who, for a considerable time past have forfeited all pretensions to the name by the desertion of almost the whole of that portion of the people who once had confidence in them. They yet retain the vain prerogative of clamoring against every measure of the government; but as to influence with the people it is gone. They enjoy the right and riot in its exercise, of ascribing motives, which they know to be untrue, to those who administer the government; but the people have long since looked upon them with the same indifference, though not equal curiosity, with which they behold the legerdemain of the juggler, or the gaudy pageant of the showman. Of this we have recently had an illustrious proof. Certain communications were made by the President to Congress, on which the embargo was laid. Of these a part were confidential. It was known that they could not therefore in honor be disclosed. Hence the occasion was seized with eagerness to calumniate the motives which dictated the measure, and to delude the people. French influence, without a shadow of reason, was rung through the Union, by men who one day will blush at the detection of their falsehood. But what has been the effect? A few party prints have made a racket, but the temper of the nation remains unruffled and undismayed. It reposes in confidence on the virtue of the government, on that patriotism which has never been found wanting.
If this measure is satisfactory to the agricultural and manufacturing interest, we have the strongest, the most conclusive proofs of its propriety. For, however clamorous a certain set of men may be whenever the topic of commerce is introduced, it is nevertheless most certain, that whatever in the highest degree secures and promotes agriculture must likewise in the highest degree advance the interests of every other class of men. For agriculture is the fountain-head of all our prosperity and strength, and it is only so far as commerce aids it that it is worthy of encouragement. No honest trader, who understands his business, will deny this.
It is true, that the clamor which has been raised against the measure has sprung up in commercial towns. But it should be recollected that it is there that most foreign influence resides, and consequently the greatest portion of systematic opposition to the measures of a government in collision with those nations from which this foreign influence emanates. Who will pretend to say what part of the commercial capital in these towns is foreign capital? And who will undertake to say whether those who hold this capital have not a guarantee of their property against those imminent dangers that would overwhelm the fair American trader? Further, who will pretend to estimate the benefits which such an exemption from risk on the part of the foreign capitalist would give him over the bona fide American merchant, in a period when the rates of insurance might be expected to rise to 20 or 30 per cent. The benefits would be incalculable. They would, however, be not merely those of the individual traders, but would in fact go to swell the treasures and increase the resources of an enemy. For it requires no extraordinary sagacity to see that, if owing to an arrangement of such capitalists with the foreign power to which they are wedded, their risks on the ocean should be merely nominal, while those of the bona fide American traders were real, they would in fact put into their pockets the full amount of insurance saved, by being spared the necessity of resorting to such a Rep. It is to this foreign influence then that this clamor is principally to be ascribed; and consequently, so far as it proves any thing, it is an argument in favor of the measure.

BY THE MAILS.
PHILADELPHIA, JAN. 16. TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
SIR,—The general assembly of Pennsylvania cannot refrain, at a crisis so eventful, from mingling their sensibilities with those of their constituents, and conveying to you, as the executive organ of the government of the United States, their sentiments and their sober determination.
Divested of all foreign partialities, having no country but united America; feeling no attachments but for the land of their nativity or adoption; and being no partisans but of the principles of liberty, and the rights of nations, they cannot, will not be accused of feeling resentments but for wrongs, and of being resolved on reparation but for aggression and outrage. They feel as Americans, and as Americans they pledge themselves to act, whenever the constituted authorities of their country demand their exertions.
The wrongs which the U. States have sustained from G. Britain are manifold and grievous; but that the cup of injury might be made to overflow, the degradation of the American flag, and the murder of American citizens, was the last sad expedient—National honor and independence, duty, interest and the sacred principles of freemen demand reparation; and through you, Sir, do the general assembly of Pennsylvania, pledge themselves to the nation, to sustain the measures of the general government to effectuate this object, at the hazard of every thing dear and valuable to man—Resolved to die freemen rather than submit to become the vassals of Great Britain, they are ready to offer up their persons and their fortunes on the altar of their country.
In the wisdom and patriotism of the general government they repose with confidence; and to your sincere and ardent exertions to preserve the peace of the nation, so congenial with the maxims and principles of republican institutions, they offer their tribute of sincere approbation.
REPUBLICAN MEETING.
At a general and full meeting of the Republicans of the city of New-York, regularly convened by public notice, at Martling's long room, on Monday evening, January 16th, 1808.
Dr WITT CLINTON, Chairman. JAMES TOWNSEND, Secretary. The following resolutions were unanimously passed:
1st. Resolved, That we retain the most full and undiminished confidence in the wisdom, patriotism and integrity of the President, Vice-President, and the Congress of the United States.
2d. Resolved, That approving of the measures which the administration have pursued, we have seen with regret and indignation, that certain public prints (and some of them affecting to speak the sentiments of "NINETEENTH" of the citizens of New-York) have stigmatized the general government, and attributed the measures of security which have been adopted, to the "undue influence and interference of one of the belligerent powers." These not being the sentiments of the Republicans of this city, we feel ourselves called upon, by all the ties of honor and duty to the general government, in justice to our own feelings, and for the information of our fellow-republicans elsewhere, to declare, in this explicit and public manner, that slander circulated, of "FRENCH INFLUENCE" are in no wise credited by the Republicans of New-York; but on the contrary, we believe them to be false and infamous calumnies, destitute of the semblance of truth, and which have no other effect on our minds than to excite a just contempt and abhorrence of the authors and propagators.
3d. Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, that the period has arrived when it becomes the duty of every American citizen to submit to all deprivations consequent to the measures government may adopt to redress the violated honor of our country; and, therefore, the citizens here assembled, solemnly pledge themselves to meet every exigency which may result from the measures government may think proper to adopt, to obtain ample reparation for the past and security against future wrongs.
4th. Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with our fellow citizens, in this and the other states, who in common with many of ourselves, do, and may experience inconvenience, and in some instances distress, in consequence of the present Embargo. But when from information publicly and abundantly received, it appears that we had no alternative but a choice of evils, we have no hesitation in declaring, that we approve of the course which government has pursued, and we are ready to make ANY SACRIFICE in defence of our rights, or, to avenge the insults offered to our country.
5th. Resolved, That the proceeding of this meeting be published in all the public papers printed in this city.
Maryland House of Delegates.
JANUARY 12, 1808. Whereas the general assembly of Maryland have, on all occasions, viewed with the deepest interest and utmost solicitude, every change in the aspect of our foreign relations; the present novel and interesting crisis peculiarly demands an expression of the public will through the medium of the legislature. Therefore,
Resolved, That the late act of Congress, imposing an embargo, is, in the opinion of this general assembly, a measure strongly characteristic of the judgment and wisdom of our national councils and well calculated to inspire confidence in the individuals of the nation which they represent.
The yeas and nays were called for in the
house of delegates, on the question—shall the same pass? Resolved in the affirmative, yeas, 48 nays 19.
"The letters of Armstrong and Campagny, of which the newspapers make so much unfounded abuse, are nothing more than a correspondence relating to the decree of Nov. 26, 1806, and do not mention any other subject. All the noise about Bonaparte's threats, is not to be found anywhere but in the distempered imagination of people who are prepared to find fault at all events—The federalists who know very well it never has been usual to publish the correspondence of foreign ministers, as it is understood, if you once do that, you will hereafter be unable to treat with foreign nations, as they will immediately say to your minister—I cannot treat with your government, as they will publish our correspondence; and this has been given in argument by a federal member in answer to another federal gentleman, who moved to have those letters printed with the secret journal."
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated Dec. 2. "By London letters of the 21st November, accounts are in town of a meeting that was held by merchants there, to obtain an explanation of the late Orders of the British Council of the 11th. At this meeting answers were given by authority, that American vessels having cleared before 21st Jan. will be considered by the British government as not having had notice of the Decree; that those cleared out after that day, and before the 10th Feb. will be subject to the decision of Parliament, and after that the Decree will be in full force. Thus you will perceive there are nearly two months time allowed in which we may expect American vessels, even though not the British government think it advisable to give still further indulgence. Unless indeed the first decree of the 11th should provoke a retaliating one from Napoleon, who very probably will not attend to these modifications and exceptions. However, let us be satisfied with the present favorable turn of affairs."
The following article says the Baltimore American, is copied from the True Briton, a flaming ministerial paper printed in London. The influence of the article itself, the marked respect of Britain for the neutrality of Denmark, the secret expedition of 20,000 men now preparing, and the selecting a disciple of Pitt to treat with this country, whose dispositions are considered so variant to the interests of America, are circumstances which induces us to believe that the blowing of the Rose, will finally decay into a Malmsbury negotiation.
London, October 12. AMERICA.
On Tuesday last we gave some important extracts from various American journals, by which it will be seen how much dissention prevails in that mob governed country, with respect to its future relations with Great Britain. While one party cries out for war, another as eagerly deprecates it, and clamor and violence are the order of the day.
It is difficult to conjecture what may be the determination of our government upon the present question at issue between the two countries. We are willing, to flatter ourselves, however, that if there be a particle of British spirit among those who now compose it, they will not suffer G. Britain to be trodden under foot by an infuriate democracy, influenced notoriously by the tool of France—that they will not suffer her naval rights to be invaded nor her flag disgraced—and above all, that they will never consent to the removal of one of her best and ablest, most experienced officers, Admiral Berkley, now commanding on that station, for having acted (albeit with forbearance) in the firm and conscientious discharge of his duty.
If they consent to abrogate the right of search—if they allow themselves to be bullied into any concessions, which trench upon the honor of the British flag; and if they disgrace the man who has nobly stood forward in defence of every thing that is dear to Britain, her last hours as a nation are rapidly approaching. But time will even then be afforded to bestow exemplary punishment on such mean and base betrayers of their country.
We have attentively considered Mr. Jefferson's memorial, and shall hereafter offer some remarks upon it; in which we have no doubt but that we can satisfy our readers of the justice of the proceedings of the Leopard, and how totally unfounded the president is in almost every article of the declaratory manifesto.
A passage boat engaged in carrying persons between Hampton and Norfolk, on Friday the 8th of January, in coming from thence to this place, and having on board Ladies and other passengers, hailed the British frigate Statira, stating that the boat had on board fresh beef for the ship; the boat was desired not to come along side, but to heave too, which she did for some time; when the patience of the passengers being exhausted, she kept off and was about to proceed for this place, when she was threatened to be fired into in a most barbarous and intolerable manner (notwithstanding there were then Ladies on the deck of the boat)—during the time of laying too there was a most distressing noise of men screaming under the lash of the whip or something worse.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1808.
As war appears to be more threatening in Spain than in any other part of Europe, we direct our attention to the state of the Spanish nation. The military preparations explain to us that after all its internal convulsions, it has not lost its power to march armies, and to assist its ally in the conquest of Portugal, or in any operations against Gibraltar. The true state of parties in Spain is still unknown. The Prince is in high command. Submission on the part of Portugal is expected, and according to some accounts, it will be unconditional. But the accounts do not agree, as some represent the Portuguese preparing for defence, and some mention actual negotiations in which terms are stipulated with France. The English appear to have left the Baltic with few precautions for the safety of their commerce, and the Danes have profited from their confidence. They reject with disdain the plea that the sufferings they endured were necessary to prevent the invasion of the French. They could have protected with their own fleet their islands from any French invasion. They consider their sufferings as unmerited, and unnecessary even to British policy.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship John, arrived at Savannah, a London paper is received of Nov. 19. Only one article is extracted, and that a lengthy one upon the late British Orders as they respect the American trade.—It says, that "the American Minister is understood to be surprised at the terms of the late decree of our Cabinet. His surprise is indeed very natural, as not the remotest idea of such a measure was intimated to Mr. Monroe on his departure; nor more, Lord Bathurst states, that it was unknown to our Minister, Mr. Rose, and that it was determined upon when he failed. Mr. Pruckney is said to complain particularly of that part of the decree which relates to "Certificates of origin"—as that arrangement is calculated altogether to prevent the intercourse of America with any port of France, or its dependencies. This arrangement is conceived to be perfectly wanton, as it cannot serve any avowed object of this country and must injure America. "Certificates of origin," are documents obtained from the French consuls, certifying that the cargo to which they refer is not of the produce or manufacture of the British empire, and the production of such a certificate is necessary before any cargo from a neutral can be landed in an enemy's port." The London paper, after some remarks, observes, "The American merchants have remonstrated. Some of these gentlemen have already had an interview with Mr. Perceval; and a deputation from the committees of American merchants are this day to meet Earl Bathurst, Mr. Canning, Mr. Perceval, Mr. Rose, and Mr. Huskisson, in order to ascertain the precise construction which Ministers and their agents mean to put upon the order of council.—It is stated that some further Orders of Council for the regulation of trade are determined upon by Ministers. To some of these orders the late Decrees refer; but one of a new description is expected, which is said to be much more of an hostile character, with regard to neutrals, than any that have yet appeared."
LATEST FROM HOLLAND.
A Leyden Journal to Nov. 20th, 1807, has been received at Boston. But it does not contain many articles worth translation. A Paris official article of Nov. 14th, mentions, that Austria had concluded a convention with France, by which she flouts her ports against the English; and that the fate of Portugal was decreed.—The House of Braganza is to lose the throne. And the reason given was, that she did not, as ordered, seize the English and their property at Lisbon!
[Saturday's Gentinel.
From LISBON, Nov. 13, 1808. "We have five fail of Russian men of war, and two frigates here.—Four more fail of the line are moments expected.—We hope to be able to beat off John Bull should he attempt to come Copenhagen over us."
The British are fortifying Halifax and Quebec, and various other parts of Nova-Scotia and Canada. It is also said they are doing every thing in their power to conciliate the Savages, and induce them to join the British standard against the Americans. These measures are alarming: they have some meaning in them; they ought to excite our suspicion, and they do excite our suspicion.
These measures have been going on, ever since Whitey murdered Pierce: They were going on when Lord Shelburne sent that insolent letter to Capt. Kaltenstein, Commandant of the Port at Charleston, S. C. and they were still going on at the moment when Berkley, Humphreys, and Douglass, were sporting their unprovoked cruelties within the boundaries of Virginia. Reinforcements of troops are arriving at all the British posts of Nova Scotia and Canada. These things have excited an alarm, which it is possible, and barely possible for Mr. Rose to allay. It is our confident belief that before Mr. Rose leaves America there will arrive a British fleet in our ports and harbors to enforce (to attempt to enforce) the measures, which he is invested with full powers to propose. [Democrat.
Some of the Boston partisans of the British government, who are feelingly alive to the difficulties of the American nation under the embargo, seem determined to make the sailors in that town raise a cabal, whether they will or no. A petition signed with the names of 110 seamen, was presented to the selectmen and by them communicated to the legislature, praying for relief. A committee was appointed by the legislature, who agreed to meet 25 of the petitioners at Faneuil Hall. Only six out of the 25 made their appearance, and of these only two had either wife or children. They stated that a man who appeared to be a gentleman, solicited them to sign the petition, and signed the names of others without being solicited. That he sat in a house where he did not belong, and as sailors passed by, asked them to put their names down. On inspection of the petition, it appeared that about one third of the names were written by the same hand.—The committee requested they would look over the list, and designate those whom they knew; and of the 104 which remained, only four were known to them; one of these was a blacksmith, and one had gone to sea.
Thus it appears that no means, however dishonorable, are left untried by these partisans, to disturb the public mind, and create division. [True Republican.
COMMUNICATION.
The accusation against General Wilkinson, made in Congress by Mr. John Randolph on the evidence of Mr. Turner and Mr. Clark, excites much attention in the United States. The General was instrumental in developing the conspiracy of Aaron Burr, and in bringing him and his accomplices to the bar of Judge Marshall,—(we do not say to the bar of Justice.) Pending the trial at Richmond, an attempt was made to criminate Wilkinson; and since the trial the friends of Burr have been loud in their clamours, because Wilkinson in his eagerness to seize a traitor stumbled over a constitutional barrier. They also whilst aiming their weapons at Wilkinson, endeavor to wound President Jefferson: but at him their shafts fly harmless. They declare Wilkinson a traitor, and then denounce Jefferson for employing a traitor; without stating to the public that General W. was appointed to office by Washington, and confirmed in office by President Adams. No one doubts that these Presidents believed Wilkinson innocent; so likewise will Jefferson believe him innocent, maugre all the attempts of his enemies, until he is proven guilty. Jefferson well knows that clamour and detraction are not the voice of truth! We do not decide that Wilkinson is innocent—he may be guilty: but we fully believe that justice will determine the question between him and the country. This we can say, that the statements made in Congress are not evidence that Wilkinson is guilty. On Randolph's philippic we make no remarks, his charge rests on the testimony of others. Powers condemns himself, as unworthy of credit, by his own written statement; and Clark, as well as Powers, was a subject of Spain, and employed in the Kings offices. Having once touched the royal doubloon, these men may still have "an itching palm." Mr. Clark is now a member of Congress; and if venal, would be deemed a fit instrument to further the views of the Spanish king, provided that monarch wishes to remove from the neighbourhood of his provinces an experienced and veteran General, whose prowess he may hereafter, have reason to dread.—The following historical fact may be deemed pertinent to the present occasion. Mr. Scouras by a well composed harangue, was impeached at the popular tribunal for endeavoring to betray the republic of Rome, to their known enemy Mithridates, king of Pontus, of whom he was said to receive considerable sums of money for that wicked purpose.—Scouras being summoned to defend himself against this accusation, insisted only on the incompetency of the accuser laying after this manner. It is very hard, fellow-citizens of Rome, that I, who have had the honor to lead your army in many dangerous enterprises with success, should now be enjoined to account for my behaviour, before persons to whom I am almost an utter stranger, very few or none of you having been with me in my military undertakings; and therefore I shall only propound one single question to your consideration and justice. Varrius Sucronensis alledgeth, that Emilio Scouras is bribed by Mithridates' money, to betray the republic of Rome: Emilio Scouras affirms upon his honour, that the charge is false & scandalous; now it is in your breasts to determine, which of the two is most fit to be credited; my actions in your service, or his naked accusation without reason or proof? Upon which the people with great indignation, discharged the accuser from proceeding any further in that matter."
When General Washington recommended an Embargo, it was the consummation of Wisdom—when the same measure, under still more pressing circumstances, is recommended by President Jefferson, it becomes the extreme of folly!—So say Federal Princes—and their veracity is only is equalled by their consistency. [Trenton Amer.
Perhaps there are no two men in the United States more conversant in commercial affairs than Samuel Smith, of Baltimore, and Jacob Crowninshield, of Salem—the former member of the Senate, and the other of the House of Representatives. They both voted for this embargo, and were joined in that vote by Mr. Mumford, from the city of N. York, by the two representatives from the city and county of Philadelphia and county of Delaware, Messrs. Porter and Richards—by the two representatives from the city and county of Baltimore, Messrs. Moore & McCreery—by the representative from the city of Charleston, Mr. Marion, and by many others from the, strictly speaking, commercial parts of our country, and yet some say the embargo is a war against commerce!
Messrs. Smith and Crowninshield afford us conclusive evidence that the Embargo appeared a measure of necessity. They are both engaged in a most extensive foreign trade, and surely would not deprive themselves of their business upon flight grounds—they have been too long engaged in commerce to be incompetent to the formation of a correct opinion on the nature of our connections in Europe, and have too much regard for the general interests of their country to oppose a measure calculated for the general benefit—they have had a "view of the whole ground," and acted if dishonestly, against their own interests, for their interest lies in an extensive commerce. Who will believe that for the purpose of destroying commerce, they voted to destroy themselves? [Baltimore Ex. Post.

COMMUNICATION. To the Physicians of Portsmouth.
GENTLEMEN, I beg leave to arrest your attention to what may again be offered in opposition to your method of making out accounts; if the arguments already adduced have been ineffective to your conviction of their fatal tendency, I must request your patience and forbearance to what may yet be advanced. The reflection that I am addressing gentlemen of education and talents, men of morality and integrity, afford flattering hopes of their acquiescence to the calls of duty, for men of wisdom are open to conviction, and men of morality pay a deference to truth and will ever desist from known errors; it will not be denied, the power of habit often gets the better of judgment, and when we have long been in the practice of error, it is attended with some difficulty before reason gains the ascendancy over our pride and passions; but particular cases demand desperate remedies; when palliatives do not effect the purpose, more violent operations must be resorted to; the Physician, when his patient is dangerously diseased, keenly wounds his feelings by the amputation of a limb, or by causing him contrary to his inclination to receive noxious medicines, with a design to promote his future welfare. Thus gentlemen I may have necessarily wounded your sensibility, and alarmed the reticence of your pride—but you may hereafter be convinced that my intention was to benefit society, and the members of your profession. Your disorder, gentlemen, is a mortal evil, a malady of the soul, that greatly endangers your future peace of mind. That you have not answered my observations, is not strange; perhaps there is too much truth in them for you to attempt a reply. The whole amount of your plea, in justification of your conduct, I conceive to be simply this, it saves you much trouble, and your patients do not demand an account of particulars without a compliance with their request. This is a lazy or "sorry" kind of argument; unfounded in reason, and will sink to oblivion on the appearance of benevolence. Should a physician's practice be inconceivably, he would not want for time to copy his books—should it be otherwise, and his time very much taken up by the calls of the sick, he could then well afford to employ a clerk to transcribe his accounts—therefore the argument to save time or trouble, will have but little weight. It is the height of imprudence for any one to continue a mode of conduct, the result of which will be attended with more evil than good; and I should pay a poor compliment to your understandings, not to suppose you fully convinced that the dangerous tendency of general accounts far exceeded the trifling benefit resulting therefrom, and further (whatever may be your opinion) they are unpleasant and very exceptionable to most of your debtors. I have made no complaint of the price of your visits, whether performed in the day or in the night; for I am with many others of your townsmen, entirely in the dark as to those charges, and have but a small prospect of being enlightened from your present mode—this also is a grievance within the limits of your province to remedy;—I am perfectly willing those charges should be ample, for no class of citizens merit more from the community than the physicians, (with the exception of the subject under consideration) it is supposed however, as your fraternity have the sole management of this business, they have not been deficient with respect to themselves. Perhaps your mode of accounts have already been attended with pernicious consequences, and probably greater evils will ensue should the practice be continued; it is not unreasonable to suppose your continuance in this habit, will cause some unfortunate physician, in the last stages of his existence, bitterly to lament in substance as follows, viz—My conduct to my patients has been truly reprehensible, I have abused their confidence, and rendered ingrate where friendship was due; the practice of the physicians of Portsmouth in making out general accounts induced me to follow their fatal example; it has plunged me in a labyrinth of vice, from which I cannot be extricated—presuming that particular charges would never be demanded, my avarice, has had full scope—I have charged for visits that never were made, and at a price beyond what physicians deemed sufficient—I have made my patients debtors to me in many instances to ten times the amount that would have been charged them by apothecaries; have charged the price of nocturnal visits for those performed at noon day, and have also injured the creditors of deceased indigent patients by charging previous demands in my accounts for their last sickness;—Thus have I disgraced my profession and ruined myself and family.—It is happy for you gentlemen, that each can appeal to heaven for the rectitude of his own conduct, and that he has not, in any instance descended to the crimes lamented by the unfortunate Physician. Notwithstanding this assertion, you would not be completely acquitted of culpability; the fatal consequence as above recited, would be the effect of your general accounts, and we have every reason to suppose, not only the above, but through your instrumentality (if the practice is persisted in) you will become accessory, in some degree, to the like misfortunes of other physicians. It is astonishing that men of integrity and honor should willingly foster in their bosoms a temptation far more hazardous than the embrace of a viper;—Such was the purity of the apostle Paul, that he prayed for deliverance from temptation; and such his affection for his brethren, that he would refrain from the enjoyment of meat during his existence, rather than occasion their transgression. Should you still retain a strong predilection for your favorite method of accounts, you may conceive it for your interest to petition the legislature for the exclusive privilege, and if obtained, it would at least have this good effect, to prevent the interference of meddling citizens—Some of the members however, might conceive the prayer of the petition but feebly supported, and probably you would have to withdraw the petition as being unnecessary and dangerous. I am fully aware gentlemen of the prolixity of my remarks, and the ineloquence of my style and diction. Notwithstanding this, the blunt truths advanced, exceed the wisdom, literature and eloquence of the Physician or Physicians of Portsmouth, to set aside. Should either of you in future exercise your assumption of arbitrary power, after due consideration of the subject, it would create unfavorable impressions in the minds of your townsmen; many of them would believe your motives impure, that you intended an undue advantage, that your conduct would be the reverse of generosity, and directly opposed to your duty as men in society. A friend to the Physicians.
On Thursday, the new elegant Univeralists' Meeting House in this town was dedicated.
From WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.
The House of multiple columns"> The House of Representatives in committee of the whole, were all this day engaged in deliberatory debates on the standing rules and orders of the house—At about 3 o'clock they adjourned. The Senate were employed in examining a Mr. Taylor, a witness on the trial of Burr, whose evidence is meant to operate in favor of expelling John Smith, of Ohio, from this body. It is understood that Mr. Rose has said, that the Embargo should not be considered by his government as producing any new obstacle in the path of negotiation. On the 19th inst. Congress passed a resolution for appointing a committee to inquire into the expediency of amending the Naturalization Act. Some progress was made in considering the new Militia Law. The House in committee passed the following resolutions. 1. That it is expedient to increase the Military Establishment, by raising regiments of Infantry, Artillerists, Riflemen and Cavalry. 2. That it is expedient to augment the marine corps. 3. That it is expedient to authorise the President to employ on board the gun-boats as many seamen as the public service may require. It appears, by an article under the London head of Nov 17, that many of the transports and other vessels were lost on the passage from Zealand for England—the English paper adds, "it is supposed that between 2 and 3000 troops and a great number of horses have perished; upwards of 40 transports are still missing." [Essex Register] Among the occurrences of the past season we noticed a dark day at Huntington, Pennsylvania, Nov. 5. The darkness began after 11 A.M. and continued two hours—We have since seen other accounts of similar darkness. In Lexington, Virginia, on the 12th November, the air appeared to be filled with smoke, till at noon an uncommon darkness came on, which continued an hour and an half, and it prevented almost all business until by candles. On the same day, but a later hour, the darkness came on in Canadaigua. On the two preceding days the atmosphere was filled with a dry vapour, with little wind, from the southward. This appearance continued till half past 9 A.M. when the vapor appeared to condense in the north-west, the wind continuing in the south. It soon filled the atmosphere, and above two hours the darkness prevented business without candles. The light returned gradually, and at one P.M. it began to rain, with the wind high and westerly; at 7 P.M. were snow squalls and the wind N.W. Ibid. We may now read English proclamations, and see whether if our ships were at sea, and most of them taken by the hungry sharks, we should be in a better way to save them from destruction, than by keeping them at home, till the seas were open and commerce free. Would any of our Merchants give up their ships, and ask no reprisals. Ibid.
A PRECIOUS MORCEAU.
The attention of our readers is directed to a piece in the last Oracle, transferred from the Repository. A principle object of the writer appears to be an invidious comparison between the English Government, and that of the American People. It will suffice for us to quote a few passages from the piece, as a sample, to awaken the curiosity of the public. "We boast that we are sovereigns, yet to judge from our everlasting murmurs and complaints it would appear that we are sovereigns deposed, always repining, always on the search for means to re-establish our power"—This is the most honest federal confession we have heard for sometime! Again, "In England the nation is as free as we are, but having a monarch, limited indeed but powerful, they are of course by their political situation, forever on the watch, observing the march of the executive power. They will always be jealous lest he should pass beyond the limits of their constitution, for power will naturally be jealous of power. The king has a formidable portion, and experience has decided that enough remains with the body of the nation for self defence. Each branch is interested to keep things as they are, that is, to preserve, and all have every thing to lose by a change. There is therefore infinitely more of a salutary jealousy of power in England than in the United States. Here every thing on the contrary is in principle democratic, and what is not so in reality is so in appearance."—Again, "Democracy has its temper always bad, and its judgment always feeble. The one is spoiled by indulgence, the other by neglect. It sinks into childhood and takes its play things and opinions from its keepers." If any one should feel disposed to become a convert to the above federal creed; we would recommend to his perusal the declaration of American Independence.
The recent conspiracy of English emigrants is nearly wound up! In vain have they reproached the salutary measures of government: In vain have they denounced our wisest, and most upright patriots: In vain have they called on the people "to advance the greatness of their strength and burst the doors of the capitol": In vain have they attempted to kindle the flames of civil discord by awakening the jealousy of states, against states: In vain have they endeavored to excite rebellion in every part of the country by their addresses to "our poor Merchants! our poor Farmers! our poor Sailors!" The pitiful attempts and the unprincipled authors of them are fast sinking into contempt. The people are too quick-sighted to listen to the voice of sedition.—And, at length, the noted editor of the Boston Repository, and his most humble and obsequious follower the nameless editor of the Portsmouth Oracle, are brought to acknowledge in dolorous accents, that "the apathy and carelessness of the nation are the more invincible for the everlasting sound of alarm (about "starving failors," "broken merchants," "English prison ships,—and American Embargo acts") that is rung in their cars." Ah poor fellows! The British "rocin of alarm has indeed become a bull-bay;" for when traitors complain of the government, we well know the people are safe.

A NEW AND PLEASING EMBARGO, in anticipation!
Messrs. Printers, Much serious inconvenience, trouble and perplexity have long been experienced by the merchants and shopkeepers, from a delicate class of our citizens (from whom they would have fondly hoped better things,) and I for one, have for years indulged the pleasing anticipation, that the fond Mothers of those delicate young females, would have realized the evil, which must have been known to them, and in their friendly visits with their neighbouring mothers, agreed to put a stop to the iniquitous practice under consideration; but seeing nothing of the kind has taken place to check this daily increasing evil, I am induced to come forward in this way to expose the base imposition practiced by almost every female, as soon as they are free from their leading strings, of running from shop to shop through the town to beg patterns of calicoes, muslins, cambricks, ribbons, &c. &c. under a pretence of returning to purchase; when, in fact, it is furnished, (from the conduct of many of them) that their only view is to extend their variety of scraps and colours to make patch work, &c. &c. and let ever so many real purchasers be in the shop, such is their importunity, that those must be neglected to wait on them with as many different patterns as can for that time be tho't of, by them! and this is all! For returning to purchase all a chimera and nothing more is seen of them for several weeks—during this interval, however, there are various other flocks of those unwinged birds who pursue the same game, continually alighting to keep the shop tenders constantly employed in the same unprofitable business of pattern cutting. When they presume the shopkeepers have forgotten all the aforesaid trouble, they return with the same solicitation, please to send Mama a pattern of each of your calicoes from 23 3/4 to 36 a yard, also a few patterns of linens, cambricks, muslins, dimities, ginghams, farfets, queens-cloths and flannels, together with a few patterns of your nice bobbins, tapes, ferrets, ribbons and laces. as Mama wants to buy a good many things before they rise, and will certainly come here; when, having obtained another supply of patterns, they take flight for a few weeks longer, to give opportunity for various other flocks, who come on the same errand.—Now, Messrs Printers, give me leave thro' the medium of your Gazette, to ask the mothers of those inconsiderate little gossiping females, if they do not now see the great impropriety of giving their daughters such latitude, and bringing them up in this idle, unuseful manner? Have you, dear parents, nothing for your daughters to do at home in the interval of school hours to keep them from the street? Can you not supply them with a little fewing work, or knitting, or afford a few minutes every day to instruct them in some useful domestic concerns?—If nothing of this kind can be furnished for them, pray assign them a task to commit to memory a certain number of pages from some useful book, which will improve their minds, and make them the more agreeable friend and companion of some well-informed gentleman, should they perchance, happen to have such an offer in the pleasing bands of matrimony.—Therefore, to you, fond parents I address myself in behalf of nine tenths of my brother shopkeepers, beseeching you to lay AN EMBARGO for a short time on your daughters, and at this dull season for business give us an opportunity to settle and adjust our numerous accounts; by which time, we trust, you will see the propriety and good effect of this friendly advice, and reap so much benefit from your daughters improvement in domestic arts and sciences, that you will readily continue your Embargo, and in this way grant the request of your humble petitioner, who as in duty bound will ever pray.

Miscellaneous Repository.
Whenever it unfortunately happens, that TREASON and TRAITORS find impunity either in the criminal connivance or imbecility of Judges, and the consequent perversion of law; or in the weakness or corruption of Juries, and the consequent abuse of their sacred functions; the only way in which the friends of liberty and the constitution, can expect finally to save them from the grasp of their treacherous foes, is, by appealing to the people themselves, and awakening them in every direction to be watchful and vigilant. In such appeals, the lash of satire, as well as the artillery of reason, may be employed to advantage; for a happy stroke of satirical wit will sometimes, and perhaps very often, make just and forcible impressions, where plain and sober argument would fail of the intended effect. From these considerations we cheerfully republish the following extract from the New-York Advertiser of the Boston Democrat—in which we think the inconsistency of BURN's pretensions to cultivate wild lands by the instrumentality of swords, guns and bayonets, is most happily and ludicrously exposed to the scorn, derision and execration of every honest mind. [Albany Register.]
EXTRACT.
Among the wonders of the times, No least deserving of my rhymes, See Burr turn'd farmer! humble plan! How aptly suited to the man! How like the modest Cincinnatus, Retir'd from state to dig potatoes! How natural all his mystery seems In laying agricultural schemes! And who more likely in this life are, Thaa farming men, to write in cypher? And then how natural again, To people towns with single men! No doubt the neighboring squaws like Sabines, Were to be ravish'd from their cabins! For selling woods he sought recruits 'Mong those 'bove labor's "dull pursuits,"— For who more fit to clear new lands, Than high-bred youths with velvet hands? His Epulettettes he took for feed, And soldiers merely for the breed! Had balls for weights to fishing feins, And guns, no doubt to pole his beans! Pistols for candle-moulds—and sabres, To cut his beef, not kill his neighbors! All this, no doubt, appear'd in Court, By evidence duly brought before't— For nothing short of this, 'tis certain, Could thus inflame the learned MARTIN, (Who nothing loves, beneath the sun, So much as justice, 'hating one!) To rave on trial, with such high rant, And call the President a tyrant? What but an early, full conviction Of Burr's unmerited affliction, Could cause the judge to sit and hear it, With such an apathy of spirit? Why else, towards his accu's'd so often! Did Justice her stern features soften?
Of old, when merely to begin The work of Treason, was some fin, The danger, sure, was somewhat great In civil war to plunge the state— But now 'tis child's play; since no fact Can constitute an overt act, Short of completion of the plan; Then you may punish—if you can! The traitor knows the law will reach him Precisely when—you cannot catch him? Thus Treason is no more, you see, For now 'tis reason, to a T. My punning pray take not amiss, For this a Yankee fashion is; Not in words merely but in deeds, As ev'ry school-boy daily reads— 'Yes (cries a tory) well I know it, 'And luckily as well can shew it; 'For when 'gainst Britain's aaws ye rose, 'And from meek subjects chang'd to foes, 'Did ye not one and all agree 'To make no further use of T, 'Thus cunningly avoiding Treason, 'Which, without T, was only reason! 'Your Lawyers know, that more than once 'A wind-pipe has been lavi'd by puns!
In the same ADDRESS, the intended retirement of Mr. JEFFERSON, is thus handsomely noticed.
In these dark times indulgent heaven, To steer our tossing ship has given Him, great amongst the greatest men, The patriot, whose immortal pen, Dipp'd in the hollow'd fount of truth, Gave energy to age and youth! See Luctian think, and fall before him, While Union spreads her banner o'er him; While Britain starts, that voice to hear, Which erst hurl'd thunder on her ear; Her evil genius meets again, Like Brutus on Phillippi's plain.
But Principle whose sovereign sway He ev'r lov'd so well t' obey, Has fix'd the irrevocable date, And calls him from the cares of state.
Dr. Mitchell has, we understand, received from Mr. Warden, secretary of the American legation at Paris, and M. D. Lafeyries, of the same place, an account of a new discovery, denominated Lithography, or the art of multiplying copies of drawings and manuscripts, by means of a peculiar stone lately discovered. Mr. Andre has received a patent for his improvements in this art. The kind of stone used is found in Franconia, and also in the neighborhood of Paris. The process adopted is as follows:
Ink is made of a peculiar composition, which is used by means of a pen, which traces the characters on the stone in the ordinary way. The stone, which ought to be very smooth and even, is then immersed in water, which renders the service moist.—In this state it is struck with a Printer's ball, the ink attaching itself to the traces made with a pen, and not to the other parts of the stone. It is then covered with a sheet of moistened paper, which is passed under a roller, by which a counter proof of the original is obtained. Four or five thousand may be obtained from the same engraving. Great benefits are anticipated from this discovery.
Dr. Mitchell has in his possession one of these stones, together with a
sample of the ink used; and we hope soon to be apprised of the result of the experiments which shall be tried.
