POLITICAL.
From the Washington Monitor. AMERICAN GROUND. The dispatches by the Otago, although they have inspired us with no hope of an amelioration of the policy of foreign powers towards the United States, enable us, nevertheless, to understand more clearly the true nature of our own situation, as to the probable views of France and Great Britain with regard to this country.
France and her allies at this moment have little or no external commerce; nor, in truth, is trade of that kind so essential to them as it is to Great Britain. Agriculture and internal traffic constitute the basis of all their financial systems. Hence, foreign trade, with them, is not a primary consideration in their fiscal arrangements. It is at all times the effect of a war between Great Britain and France, that the exterior commerce of the latter is cut up and destroyed during the continuance of the war. And not only can it be annihilated with respect to French bottoms; but whenever Great Britain chooses to violate the laws of nations, by infringing upon neutral rights, her immense naval force enables her to prevent all intercourse between France and nations who take no part in the war. It must be recollected that Great Britain is not vulnerable to the French power by any direct medium, except that of a navy; and this France has not got. The business of France, therefore, was, to find out some indirect method of reaching and injuring her antagonist. In all their European wars, down to the year 1807, the British had been enabled by coalitions, subsidies, and otherwise, to keep open a channel on the continent of Europe,
through which they could pour in their manufactures and produce, and were thus enabled to support the war by the profits of a trade carried on during the war in their own or in neutral vessels, even with their enemies: for, the goods once introduced on the continent, would readily find their way into every quarter. Bonaparte saw and felt the evil to himself; but at the same time was aware of his incapacity effectually to obstruct it, unless he could, by a deep and well laid stratagem, induce the British government to co-operate with him. The Berlin decree, for which English orders had previously furnished ample pretext, was an experiment that has certainly fulfilled more than the French emperor's most ardent expectations. That decree was never carried into effect against neutrals (as has been proved by British merchants strictly examined at the bar of the house of commons) before the English orders of council were issued in November last; and, indeed, Napoleon could not have executed that decree against the Americans, who were the principal neutral, without risking a war with us, which it was far from being his desire then to provoke. Misconstruing Bonaparte's intention, and excited by the unceasing clamours of the West-India planters, the English ministry under the influence of the right honourable Spencer Percival, chancellor of the exchequer, induced his majesty to pass those fatal decrees, which completely threw the commercial world upon a new axis. "I think I can prove, sir, (says Mr. Brougham, speaking to this point) that we ourselves, blinded and alarmed by the empty menaces of the enemy, which we had often before experienced to be ineffectual, terrified by vain fears which we could not describe, and arguing from the very uncertainty of the darkness in which we were, that some evil was impending, we knew not what, counter-signed all the decrees of the enemy; backed their futile threats with our solid orders; carried them triumphantly into execution by our all-powerful navy, and reduced the commerce of the country, to that state, to that pitch of degradation, to which he our inveterate enemy had wished, but in vain wished, by those decrees to reduce it; and to which by no other earthly power than our own, could he have succeeded in bringing it."—The peace of Tilsit, and the seizure of the Danish fleet, in fact, shut British bottoms out from the continent, and there was no other means of intercourse, generally speaking, than by American vessels. The obnoxious orders of council restricted the latter from proceeding to the ports of France or those of powers dependent on and in alliance with her; this bro't the Berlin decree into full play, which was rendered still more severe than that of Milan; and the emperor of the French triumphed in the complete success of his scheme. Without an efficient navy, and without incurring the necessary and enormous expense of one, he has placed the commerce of England in a situation the most humiliating, and by a singular dullness of apprehension on the part of the British ministry, has actually succeeded in making the British navy fight the maritime battles of France. From such a situation we look in vain for Napoleon to dislodge himself. He sees very plainly that he has every advantage on his side. To relax his decrees with regard to the United States, whilst the orders of Great Britain are in existence, could be of no possible service to France, whilst it would be of immense benefit to her enemy. Nor would it suit the views of Napoleon just now to declare war against us; for in a war with the Americans he has nothing to gain: but it is his interest to embroil us with Great Britain; for then he would have in us an active friend, and still enjoy all the advantages over the British which he does at present. This view of the case designates at once the cause of that mongrel kind of conduct which Bonaparte observes towards us. The information by the Otago, induces a belief that he is disposed still further to aggravate the U. States, not to a war with himself if he can help it; but it is very certain, that at this time he would choose hostilities with America in preference to annulling his decrees, because his great interests consist in adhering to them, as
long as he can induce the English to persist in the rigid execution of their orders of council.
Great Britain, on the other hand, relies upon commerce for the maintenance of her government and all its expensive appendages. The facility of raising loans depends upon that source; and, in truth, her whole system of revenue, directly or indirectly, is bottomed upon it. She cannot exist with splendor for any long period of time without an extensive and flourishing trade. Deluded by a fallacious view of things, and believing that the continent of Europe either could not or would not do without large supplies of colonial produce and British manufactures, even if it had to accept them by vessels direct from England; she rashly promulgated and acted upon her orders of council, and thereby rendered our flag obnoxious in all the ports of Europe, whose foreigners are hostile to Great Britain; and by doing so, effectually stagnated her own trade, which had before been briskly carried on, notwithstanding the war, in a circuitous and lawful manner, by our bottoms.
Thus situated, the British ministers would gladly remove all difficulties to a proper and pacific understanding, which exist between the United States and Great Britain, were it not for certain expectations entertained upon their part. They have been persuaded from the writings and conduct of particular persons among us, that the people of this country would not submit to the embargo; that they would revolt; that there was a probability that the government might be subverted, or that a division of the Union might be effected, if the cabinet of St. James would only adhere pertinaciously to its measure: and that, at all events, the perseverance of Great Britain in her unfriendly conduct to America, could not fail of producing the most salutary effect for England in the approaching presidential election. This opinion of the British ministry is grounded upon the publications in the opposition prints, and upon Mr. Pickering's letter in particular.—There is also good reason to believe, that letters have been sent to the ministerial party in England by persons in this country, advising them to yield nothing to the present American administration, and flattering them with the hope that a radical change of politics must be the consequence on this side of the water.
In these circumstances, the course of conduct to be pursued by the people of the U. States is as lucid as a ray of light. On either hand we are presented with an enemy, if we choose so to consider it. France cares very little for our friendship, as it regards herself; but values our enmity as it relates to Great Britain; whilst the latter estimates our enmity as essential to her vital interests, but in the expectation of a revolution among our citizens in her favor, rejects the olive branch that we have so often presented to her. Against France it becomes us to assert our dignity; against England to maintain our unity, our independence, and our character as a free people. The aggressions of France are wounding to our sense of national honor; those of the British insulting and degrading to every noble passion of our nature, because it presumes upon our want of fortitude and virtuous principles. We are a peaceful nation; we must therefore preserve a pacific posture as long as it is tenable, consistent with our interests and rights. We are also a gallant nation; we must therefore make war when peace is no longer reasonable or to be tolerated. In any event, the embargo is a wise measure. If we refrain from war, it acts as a girth which binds our most valuable resources to the country. It will also act positively upon the enemy, by which, in due time, he must undoubtedly feel the want of our friendly offices. If we make war, the embargo is one of those middle measures which breaks the dreadful shock in rushing from a state of peace into a state of desperate hostilities.
The French emperor may learn hereafter that it is of some importance to be on good terms with us: And as for Great Britain she will understand (I hope it may not be too late for her) that she has woefully missed a figure; and that the ministry have been the dupes of a few men in this country who are themselves deluded by a monstrous deception in politics. Europe may rely upon the fact, that six months have familiarized men's minds to the embargo; and that it is becoming more popular every day. I am not in the habit of praising my countrymen; but I will venture to say this much of them: that all attempts to induce them to rebel; all endeavors to subvert the government, to divide the Union or to force upon them a president against their own inclinations, will be by them resisted with unbounded indignation, and at the peril of their lives.
* The reader may recollect the Instructions issued in April last to English ships of war, not to molest American vessels found at sea without regular clearances, &c. They were no doubt framed to encourage insurrection here, and to assist the Pickering Junto—but they have produced no effect.
For the N. H. GAZETTE. NO. III.
Criticism upon Criticism;
On observations on the remarks and criticisms on the LETTER of the HONORABLE JOHN Q. ADAMS. "Audi alteram Partem."
The following passage noted as faulty comes next in order. "Towards the Gentleman," &c. I have thought this confidence peculiarly due from me" &c. LETTER. "Almost as many errors as could well be accumulated in one sentence."
Certain things may be due by one person to another, but not from one person towards another. REMARKS.
Now, instead of towards, put one of its approved senses, and the sentence will read thus: with respect to the Gentleman, &c. "I have tho' this confidence due from me,"—and what is there so erroneous in this? Again, Is it not as correct to say due from a person, as to say due by a person?
But, adds the author, "impressions are made, not produced. To produce upon, is to generate or beget," &c. But one might venture to affirm, that the word "produce" may be properly used in a very large sense, "to cause, to effect."
Whatever is an effect is produced; now putting punning apart, tell us where is the great impropriety of considering an impression upon the public mind as a real effect; and like other effects, produced by a cause? In regard to change from person to person, from subject to person &c. said to be intolerable, and the sentence quoted from page 30th of the Letter, I wave remark; referring to the observations already made on crowding many things into one sentence.
The word yet, in the sentence next reviewed should doubtless have been omitted, or else the parenthesis should have taken it in, which would have rendered the sentence complete and correct; as it was probably written.
"Millions—would have been—in the same predicament, had they not been saved from exposure to it, by the Embargo."
LETTER. "We know what it is to be exposed to danger, but we have never before heard of being exposed to a predicament."
REMARKS. In order to learn what the predicament is, we must look back to the words immediately preceding in the sentence, and we find it to be the being "detained," or "confiscated"—to that state of things the millions of property would have been exposed, but for the Embargo. This is intelligible to such as are willing to understand.
SHAKESPEAR says; "The offender's life lies in the mercy of the Duke only 'gainst all other voice; in which predicament I say thou stand's."
And again, "I will shew the line and the predicament wherein you range under this Subtle King."
Would our critic condemn this, by wittily saying: we have heard of standing in many things, and of ranging under many, but we never before heard of standing in, or ranging under a predicament.
When our critic speaks next with such glee and marked contempt of the expression, "all-devouring instruments,"—he had not probably in his mind one authority which he may have read: "Thou lovest all-devouring words," &c.
LETTER. "If the alarm was 'roundless' it must very soon be disproved."
REMARKS. "We should be glad to know how an alarm is to be disproved."
ANSWER. You may know it thus; if an alarm be a tumult or disturbance at apprehended danger; and if to disprove be to convict of error or falsehood; then an alarm is disproved, when it is shewed to have been founded in error or mistake, of a false alarm. "A retreat by either of the warring parties from hostilities," says the remarker, pursuing his critical attack, "is not English" and modestly adds, "it is an example of the Jeffersonian or hurly-burly style, in which words are rattled out like dice, as if to try whether chance can make a sentence. A retreat is the act of retiring before superior force, from one place to another, not from one act to another—To say therefore that a warring party retreats from hostilities, is to say that he retires from his own actions."
LETTER. "Considered in its true colours" says the letter—We do not, says the remarker, consider a thing in a colour. But with submission to critics, a thing may be held up to view in false colours, and may be considered even as it is exhibited. If it be found on critical enquiry that colour is metaphorically used for appearance, it would follow that a thing may be exhibited and viewed or considered, in true, or false colours. As to the vulgarity charged, the mode of speaking criticised, may partake too much of the ordinary colloquial style; and slern tones , as used, may be exceptional.—In regard to the former error, I will only say; a performance that animadvert on a sentence of the letter (in which mention is made of the duties of humanity,) says: "as for the duties of humanity, they are the usual stuff of a Jacobin lausage, in which there is so much seasoning, that poor humanity gets sadly peppered"—and again; "it will stare folks in the face, ay, and put them out of countenance too." That speaks of discharges, toe-plasters and blister-plasters of a certain description, more singular than delicate, (which they who chuse may see in the remarks,) should not be very severe on a sentence in no wise indicative, for bordering on vulgarity.
The agonies of the wife and children of an impressed seaman, are not so very darkly expressed in the obnoxious letter, but that they may excite sympathy in some, while they furnish occasion for the exercise of wit in others. We believe this to be the first time that a topical application to the feelings was ever thought of—"a blistering plaster"—[but I will not transfer what follows in the sentence, from his page to mine]—"any one means any person; wherefore from the struc-
ture of the sentence it follows that the section is an individual man or woman." REMARKS.
On this I would only observe that topical is a general term, by no means restricted to surgical operations. Its general meaning relates to place, being derived from a word signifying place—confined to some particular place or part "of the body" is one and a restricted meaning of the word. He says, "any one" in the construction makes the section to be male or female. But the natural construction is "feelings of any one" [section] not even [those] "of my own."—What is there strange in such an ellipsis? If so, secure, be to make certain, why may we not secure a purpose, or our purpose? and why may not a dereliction of a right to freedom, be a surrender of it, a surrender in effect? and if a side may be alarming or destructive, why may it not be a stride of much moment, to those alarmed or exposed; or a momentous one, metaphorically speaking? But these may be left as moot points of criticism.
But our author has no mercy on the following phrase: "These Orders—concealed until the moment when they burst upon our heads." LETTER. Here I observe that one signification of burst is, "to come suddenly," and I ask, did not the orders so come? If the letter writer has grievously offended here, he is not quite alone. One of our approved English Poet's says:—
"If the worlds, On worlds inclos'd should on his senses burst." Would one imitate the pleasant language of our critic, and say wonderful worlds in other worlds! like "bombs or pumpkins" [the very words of our critic] bursting on people's senses!—Bursting Pumpkins! a phrase, as elegant, no doubt, as it is new.
I will not contend for the preposition in , against the by , set up to supplant it, nor for the of before surrender; nor for disapprobation at , nor for the phrase, "points delineated," (it would be la petite guerre , the petty war of criticism) altho' these points occupy more than half a page of the remarks.
Relict, instead of Relick, I presume, (as the remarker says he did "at first") was an error of the press—Did Mr. Adams need to be gravely told that "Relick is a Widow?"
If an assertion, which I think a false one, be made, I may say, I appeal from it, but if I am doubtful, whether it be only intended to be made hereafter, I cannot appeal from it; but I may appeal to truth or justice, against it, or against its being made.
Our critic, as he proceeds, tells us how far we may go, and then sets up his Herculean pillar, terrifying by its ne plus ultra . He graciously allows us to say "cool judgment," because, says he, judgment may be to or not?—now if it may be not cool, it may of course be warm; so it would seem there may be warm judgment and cool judgment.—But mark the 'rigid interdiction'—"we can never allow him (the letter writer) to talk of cool justice," justice is always the same" &c.—Thus we may not contrast justice with passions or feelings, although these are allowed here to be warm (see the passage) and although justice is always the same—it has not warmth as passion has, yet we must not speak of it, by way of contrast, as cool!
In a number of the following critical remarks, of, as the proper preposition is set up against with , and against for , and again for would dispose of upon a claims the place of the to ; would be of were ; with of in ; and when is utterly discarded from its place—If any thing, by way of questioning, palliating, or even justifying, might be said on these adjudications, it may be well to wave controversy, and say with the Poet:—
"Non nostrum inter vos tantas componere lites." It is too much for us to decide on questions of such high moment! Our author says: "to seize forcibly, is to take by force by force." Yet he could not be ignorant that one approved signification of seize is, to take possession of, and this may be, with or without force.
There cannot be, says he, an aggravation of a practice. ANSWER. If a practice be, as stated "merciless"—and therefore criminal, there may—Crime admits of aggravation.—"Colour of fair pretence" is said to be very like the shadow of a shade.—Be it so. Even that very expression, to denote nothingness, is used by a certain Poet:—
"Dream of a dream, and Shadow of a shade."
"Considered in its true colours" says the letter—We do not, says the remarker, consider a thing in a colour. But with submission to critics, a thing may be held up to view in false colours, and may be considered even as it is exhibited. If it be found on critical enquiry that colour is metaphorically used for appearance, it would follow that a thing may be exhibited and viewed or considered, in true, or false colours.
As to the vulgarity charged, the mode of speaking criticised, may partake too much of the ordinary colloquial style; and slern tones , as used, may be exceptional.—In regard to the former error, I will only say; a performance that animadvert on a sentence of the letter (in which mention is made of the duties of humanity,) says: "as for the duties of humanity, they are the usual stuff of a Jacobin lausage, in which there is so much seasoning, that poor humanity gets sadly peppered"—and again; "it will stare folks in the face, ay, and put them out of countenance too." That speaks of discharges, toe-plasters and blister-plasters of a certain description, more singular than delicate, (which they who chuse may see in the remarks,) should not be very severe on a sentence in no wise indicative, for bordering on vulgarity.
The agonies of the wife and children of an impressed seaman, are not so very darkly expressed in the obnoxious letter, but that they may excite sympathy in some, while they furnish occasion for the exercise of wit in others.

The following is an extract of a letter from a federal gentleman and a merchant of the City of Richmond, in Virginia, who is now in the city of London. The writer is himself a native Virginian, and the son of a native Virginian, who was an officer of the line during the whole of the revolutionary war.
That no suspicion may be entertained of the genuineness of the letter, the original is lodged with the editor of this paper, and may be seen by any person who wishes it. Let the opponents of the embargo read this letter, and see in what light this measure is regarded by a man whose political principles are decidedly federal; whose interests are entirely mercantile, and who, being now in one of those countries on which the embargo was intended to operate, has an opportunity of seeing how the medicine works, and of judging of the wisdom of the measure from its practical effects. The view which he takes of the law has nothing subtle in it: On the contrary, it is a plain and manly appeal to facts. He demonstrates from a view of the British commerce and the state of those countries to which she has hitherto traded, that her existence depends on America, and that she has no choice between ruin and the retraction of those tyrannical claims which produced the embargo. He shews that nothing supports Great Britain under the embargo at present, but the idea that we shall not have firmness and patriotism enough to bear its inconveniences. Great Britain, he says, judging of the temper of America by a view of our northern prints, believes that the measure, so far from being borne by us, will produce a disunion of the states. Let Massachusetts and those who guide her councils, mark this sentiment! Are they willing, in a question between Great Britain and their own country, to take the side of G. Britain? Are they not doing so at this moment? Are they not, by their resolutions and their newspapers, saying to G. Britain, "hold out against the embargo a little longer, and we will have it repealed for you, or we will rend the union asunder?" Is not this the very construction which Great Britain puts upon their conduct?—Whither is the spirit of '76 fled? Look not upon us from your graves, departed patriots; You could bear non-importation and non-intercourse, sooner than submit to British injustice. At a time when you were few and weak, and illy provided with the means of clothing yourselves, you were proud of the privations which you voluntarily assumed, and gloried in the virtuous cross which you bore. Look not upon your degenerate sons: who with all their increase in numbers, in wealth, and the inexhaustible means of domestic manufacture, and internal supply, whimper and whine after foreign luxuries, and are willing to barter the honor and independence of their country for British baubles.
But if Massachusetts will fly off from us, let the rest of us stand firm to the charge: Let Virginia at least set an example which her sister states may be proud to follow. In the war of 1776, the voice of Virginia was the first that was lifted against British arrogance and tyranny: let us support the glorious character which our forefathers have stamped upon the soil which they have transmitted to us.—At that period, the man who dared to breathe a syllable of discontent against the non-importation, was branded as a tory, and held up to public scorn and detestation; he was considered as a Briton at heart, and unworthy of the name of an American.—In the same light let us regard those insidious men who are going through the country, laboring to spread among the people a spirit of discontent on account of the embargo, and of resentment towards the virtuous and profound administration which advised it. Such men deserve to be regarded and treated as British emissaries.
LONDON, APRIL 1st.
"It is with very great surprise that I have observed the opposition the Embargo has experienced from the northern federalists. I trust my Richmond friends have not taken the same side. This opposition seems to be for opposition-sake alone—for I cannot believe it possible that the federalists themselves would have acted differently, had the Administration been in their own hands. What with the decrees of Napoleon and the British Orders in Council, I cannot see what middle course between the embargo and war, America could have pursued. And if the embargo has produced great embarrassments in the mercantile world, and has had the effect of lowering the value of the produce of the soil, it is fair to enquire whether a war would not have greatly increased those evils. The war must have been against both England and France; for certainly America will not suffer England to justify an aggression on her rights by saying that
France has also attacked her. I, for one, would have no hesitation in going to war with both, did I not think that without the expence and danger to ourselves of war, the embargo will produce all its effects upon our enemies. Those effects are severely felt in this country at this moment, and if the American people possess sufficient virtue and firmness to adhere to the measure, regardless of the privations which must attend it—there cannot remain a doubt that this country will have to retrace the steps she has taken. The manufacturers already complain bitterly at the loss of their spring trade; they have been obliged to turn off almost all their workmen for it is to be observed that it is alone through the American flag that the manufactures of England reach the continent, as there is at present no other neutral. Petitions against the orders of council have been multiplying daily, as their effects begin to be more and more felt. Several manufacturers, with whom I have conversed, declare that the distress among the lower class of workmen in the neighborhood of the manufacturing towns is almost incredible. The effects of the embargo seem not to have been sufficiently felt in the West Indies, owing to the circumstance of there being a tolerable supply of provisions on hand; but if it continues six months longer, it will have an effect in those islands which will ever after be of substantial benefit to America. It will convince European nations who have West India colonies, that those colonies are completely in the power of the U. States, and that by refusing them lumber and provisions we can at any time distress if not starve them. And it must be observed that any distress which the British colonies experience from the embargo will have an immediate effect in producing the revocation of the orders of council.—For it is worthy of remembrance that although the preamble of these orders pleads the decrees of France as the cause and justification of their being published, that plea is a mere pretext, and the real object which the government had in view, was to relieve their West India merchants and planters, who complain that they must be ruined, if American ships are suffered as heretofore to carry the produce of the French and Spanish islands to the continent. While that trade is permitted, the Americans supply Europe with sugar and coffee at so low a rate, that the British West India merchants cannot export from this island a pound of either article. And as the produce of the British islands far exceeds the consumption of this country, there is always a glut of the articles, which obliges them to sell at a loss, even for the supply of that consumption. By cutting off the supply usually received through the U. S. they suppose that they can force their own West India produce into the continent.
A most absurd supposition! and to show how little value Bonaparte attaches to a supply of sugar and coffee, he has put a total interdict to its importation. Of the extent of the injury which a continuance of the embargo will do England, some idea may be formed from the exports for the last year. The whole of the exports of the kingdom amounted to about 40 millions of pounds sterling, including colonial produce, East-India Goods, &c. &c. as well as the manufacture of the country. Then she had the trade open to Russia, Sweden, Prussia, Denmark, Portugal, the port Frisco, belonging to Austria, and the U. States of America. To the latter country the exports amounted to 10 millions, or the fourth of the whole export of the country and consisted altogether of manufactured articles. Of all the other powers with which the trade was opened last year, there remains none to which an English ship can go, except Sweden—and there cannot remain a doubt, but that she must shortly be obliged to follow the example of her neighbours. Great Britain, cannot, therefore, trade with any of the above nations, without the intervention of a neutral flag, and America is now the only neutral.—There remains, therefore, only the trade to Sicily, (which probably will soon be conquered by France,) to the island of Sardinia—to the Brazils, (for the supply of a population which does not exceed 300,000 whites,) to the East Indies, (to which there is no export but money)—to the West Indies, (for the supply only of the whites, because the slaves use none of the manufactures of England except a little coarse linen)—and the trade to the North American colonies. If, therefore, the present state of things should last, the export trade of this country must inevitably fall short, more than three fourths of the usual amount.—What effect such a defalcation must produce in so commercial and manufacturing a country, may well be imagined. But the defalcation which will be experienced in their revenue, will more immediately affect the government, since it must lose not only
the duties on exports, but also the duties upon the imports, which are to a much larger amount. The single article of tobacco consumed in this kingdom, affords to the government a revenue of more than two millions sterling. The event then must be, that the present ministers must abandon their measures, or resign their places to persons who will pursue a different policy towards other nations.
"When the bill laying duties upon American produce brought into port in consequence of the Orders in Council, and prohibiting altogether the supply of the continent with cotton, gets to America, I presume there will be perfect unanimity in favor of the embargo. It seems that the orders of Council are justified by some, on the ground of retaliation against France, and on the ground that England has a right to blockade the continent, and of course the permission to proceed to the original port of destination, after having come into an English port and paid duties, is to be considered as a concession and favor granted to a neutral. These persons seem entirely to have forgotten that the right of retaliation (if admitted at all, where it operates on a neutral,) is a strict right, and does not authorize the adoption of measures totally different from those adopted by the enemy—Bonaparte refused admission into his ports for any ship coming from or touching at an English port, which he unquestionably had a right to do; and in retaliation, England might have refused admission to any ship coming from a French port; but could not say that a neutral going to a French port must first touch at an English one. And allowing the right to declare the continent in a state of blockade, the neutral had still clearly a right to proceed to any other port not included in that blockade, viz.—Sicily, Sardinia, Africa, or Sweden, to dispose of her cargo—whereas, under the Orders of Council she is compelled to come into an English port and pay duties, or return directly home. The order declaring legal prize all ships having certificates of origin on board, is of all others the most preposterous, as this nation will not herself suffer an American ship to bring to England any one article which is not the produce of America, and it must be so certified. I hope the next accounts from America will show that there is but one sentiment, and that that is a determination to oppose every aggression which any nation may commit, and to submit to every inconvenience (for it is only an inconvenience) which the continuance of the embargo may produce.—The government of this country calculate upon our inability to pursue the system we have adopted, flattering themselves that those discontents, which they see expressed in the northern papers, will break out in such a way as will force the American government to abandon their system, or produce a disunion of the States."
The Editor of the Enquirer completely vouches for the authenticity of the preceding Extract.

It is upon the ground of the embargo, that is, upon the base mercenary selfishness of the nation, that the federalists rely, and by addressing the base passions, by base means, hope to accomplish base ends.
We are willing—and when the plural we is here used, it is not the metaphor of style, but the plural pronoun, the majority of the American people whom we speak for, as of that majority we say, that on this ground the question is at issue—and let the result of the trial determine the question for ever—whether the American people are
Worthy of Liberty and Independence?
Or,
Prefer baseness and servitude?
These, then, are the questions now to be decided, and although Massachusetts, in her capital, has displayed her degeneracy and her disgrace—and though faction has poisoned the fountains of representative power—the people at large, of Massachusetts, are with the people in soul and sentiment in all parts of the union.
New-Hampshire will perform her duty. Rhode Island, though divided upon local personalities, will rally round the national standard.
North Carolina, which was supposed to have one doubtful vote, will be unanimous for the nomination of president in the accustomed mode.
Of South Carolina—we give the following extract from the journals of the 29th June, as the best evidence of the republicanism of that respectable state.
EXTRACT.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, In the House of Representatives, June 29, 1808.
We, the people of the state of South Carolina, in general assembly met, deeply impressed with the state of our political affairs, and feeling as free men ought to feel, whose rights have been violated by the different belligerent nations, conceive it to be our duty at this crisis, to come forward and vindicate republican institutions from the charge of ingratitude & unrequitedly to express our sense of the late measures of the general government. We see in them a sincere desire to preserve to our country the blessings of peace and independence, objects so dear to us as to render personal inconvenience and individual privations, matters unworthy of consideration—therefore,
Resolved, That Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States, in recommending; and the congress of the United States in passing, the acts imposing, and enforcing the embargo, have deserved well of their country.
Resolved, That it be, and it is hereby recommended, to the good citizens of this state, to give them their aid to carry into execution this important national measure.
Resolved, That this state will, to the utmost of its power, and at all hazards, support the general government, in all measures calculated to
maintain the rights, and support the independence of the U. States.
Resolved, That the president of the senate, and the speaker of the house of representatives of this state, forthwith transmit these resolutions to the president of the United States.
On the question being put, to agree to the above resolutions, the same were agreed to unanimously. R. GANTT.
Clerk of H. R. of S. Carolina. Resolved, That the same be sent to the senate for concurrence.
In the senate, concurred in unanimously. H. B. SAXON, Clk.
"Columbia, S. Carolina, June 29th, 1808.
"I take the advantage of this evening's mail, to send you the subjoined resolutions, this day adopted by both branches of the legislature of this state, and which were unanimously agreed to. I have taken them from the minutes of the house in their official form, I think they will prove an excellent counterpart to those passed by the legislature of Massachusetts, and if ours can display or neutralize the venom in theirs, a good purpose will be answered.
With respect to the presidential election, I have never known the state so little divided, we are in fact all of one side, at the utmost there are not more than twenty members in the legislature (which is composed of 160 including both houses) opposed to Mr. Madison, and altho' a new election is to take place in October next, there will not be any changes which can affect this question, for this candidate is equally the favorite out of the legislature as within it; I give it therefore as my opinion, backed by the opinions of the most influential men in our country, that Mr. Madison will obtain the unanimous vote of this state—the only weight which Mr. Clinton's name now carries with it here, even as candidate for the vice presidency, is derived from the nomination of the so much decried caucus at Washington; no pains have been taken to counteract the claims of this gentleman, but so much dissatisfaction is felt, that if any attempts were made against him, and a suitable candidate offered in his stead, he would infallibly lose the votes of this state—and whether a candidate in opposition to him is offered or not, if it should be well ascertained that he has, or his friends for him, have coalesced with the federalists to help him to the presidency, this state will drop him; I have hopes that he will not do so, not that I think such a coalition would prevail; but because that so worthy a citizen should not lose that character, for consistency and firmness he has till lately so well preserved—I should be sorry to think that among our old revolutionary characters we had but one Jefferson, but one man now left, that could say to ambition, to personal aggrandizement, get ye behind me.
"I had, two days ago, a letter from colonel Troup, of Georgia, in which he states confidently, that Madison will get the unanimous vote of Georgia—from other respectable sources of information, I am assured of the same thing, and believe it."
BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, JULY 22.
The government schooner Hope, captain Woodward, failed yesterday. She carries out two messengers, Capt. Haley to France, and Mr. Atwater to England. Capt. Haley will be landed at Havre-de-Grace, while Mr. Atwater will repair to England—On the return of Capt. Haley from Paris, the Hope will sail for England, whence she will return to this place with Capt. Haley & Mr. Atwater.
The following is extracted from a letter dated Falmouth, England, May 16th.
"You will have been informed of several American vessels having been condemned; and amongst them some that have been sent into this district, principally in consequence of their having failed from France after the period fixed by the orders in council, and others for being bound to a port declared by the British to be in a state of blockade.
"Two vessels belonging to the United States, viz. the ship Susan and the schooner Hope, are condemned in consequence of having French government dispatches on board. I am assured this was without the knowledge of the masters, who might have destroyed these papers, had they been aware their ships would have been lost by the delivery of their letters to the captors or their agents.
"In the present gloomy situation of things, masters of ships belonging to the U. States are afraid to engage for almost any voyage, being so liable to seizure and confiscation on both sides; and many have preferred returning to America to accepting any freight that was obtainable. Trade is very dull—West-India produce very low—but flour about 63/ to 65/ per sack of two and a half bushels."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Havana to the President of the Marine Insurance Company of Norfolk, dated 11th June 1808.
"The French privateers capture and bring into the ports of this island, under the French Decrees, all vessels bound from any British port. The General Butler and cargo (from Liverpool to New-Orleans) have been condemned at Vera Cruz on that ground, and the brig Ocean, Capt. Waldin of Kennebec, with 290 puncheons of Rum, bound from Jamaica to Boston has been sent into Trinidad in this island by a French privateer on the same ground."
Every man in his senses must concur with Mr. Gray of Salem, in the opinion,
that, if the Embargo were repealed, while the blockading orders and decrees of the belligerents continued in operation, the effect would be that no merchants of found capital would send their vessels to sea. None but desperate adventurers, trading at the risk of their creditors, would venture property upon the ocean, and trust to the chance of evading the belligerents.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 23.
Violations of the Law.
Whatever difference of opinion may be professed, or honestly entertained, as to the wisdom and policy of the Embargo Laws, no doubt is entertained as to their constitutionality, and to their having received that sanction from the constituted authorities, which is necessary to constitute laws binding upon all the people of the U. States—the man therefore, who from base cupidity, hostility to the government, or because he is in the interest of a foreign government, shall oppose, violate, or attempt to evade those laws, is a bad and unfaithful citizen.
We have seen a regular Proclamation of the government of England, inviting the citizens of the U. States to break the laws of their country by issuing orders for the reception in any of the colonies or dependencies of Great Britain of any vessel which should escape from the United States without any of those papers which the usages and interests of all civilized nations require: further, that proclamation gives the vessel thus breaking the laws of the United States and violating the common law of nations, privileges which vessels regularly cleared have been denied. This was a most outrageous act in a government, who at the time of issuing it had a special minister here, professing to be authorized to make reparation for one of the most unparalleled outrages which disgrace the page of history.
But if we have just cause of complaint against a foreign government for inviting our citizens to transgress our laws, what language of reprobation is sufficiently strong to express our disapprobation of those citizens who accept the invitation, and basely become the instruments of evil to their own government and country. The federal papers have from time to time, exultingly informed us that different vessels have been blown off our coast and got safe to some of the ports under the British government: they have triumphantly told us that our frontier citizens near the British line, were supplying them with all they wanted, and that our sailors were from choice putting themselves on board British ships, because "they preferred fighting the abettors of Mr. Jefferson's system."
The latest theme of federal exultation, on the advent of the British of the Embargo laws, has been the announcing the novel intelligence, that five ships laden with dry goods, had lately arrived at Halifax. We have received such information as induces our belief of this fact, and the further facts that the dry goods thus brought to Halifax, are smuggling into the United States from the provinces of Canada and Nova Scotia. We have good reason to believe that there is at this time, selling at home manufactures, in New-York, Albany, and many other of the towns to the Eastward, Cloths, Cassimeres, & Coatings, which have been smuggled from the British dominions. The officers and faithful citizens of the United States, are respectfully, yet earnestly called upon to be vigilant in detecting, and prompt and impartial in exposing every violator of the law. [Democratic Press.]
New-London, July 27.
A sloop with 500 barrels of flour, was brought into this port on Friday last, by the revenue schooner Revenge of New York, for attempting to evade the Embargo law. She has no name on her stern, and no papers. A brig taken in the sound by the same sch'r, under suspicious circumstances, is carried into Stonington.
PORTLAND, JULY 25.
EXECUTION OF DREW.
On Thursday last, JOSEPH DREW was publicly executed in this town, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of Ebenezer Parker, a deputy sheriff, of Cape Elizabeth.
It is a solemn and affecting scene, to behold a fellow-mortal atoning for the greatest violation of the laws of nature and civil society by the forfeiture of his life. No event of this kind having taken place in this county for a number of years, the curiosity which most people possess to witness a transaction of this kind, drew an immense concourse of people of all descriptions. We cannot consider this curiosity as either humane or rational, unless it is indulged with a motive that the mind may be more strongly impressed with a just abhorrence of acts of wickedness and vice, and by seeing the fatal consequences which often follow a deviation from the path of virtue and rectitude in early life.

Highly Interesting NEWS.
We have very interesting intelligence from Spain, received by the way of Trinidad. The last reigning branch of the ill-fated House of Bourbon has ceased to wield the sceptre of command; and Bonaparte is not only the actual but acknowledged ruler of Spain. But they have permitted the world to know the results. It has been before known, that a large French army had marched into Spain under pretence of guarding its frontiers from invasion:—That after the tumult which eventuated in the removal of the Prince of Peace from office, the old King, Charles, renounced his throne, in favor of his eldest son, who was proclaimed King, with the title of FERDINAND VII:—That afterwards Charles protested to Bonaparte, then at Bayonne, that the act of abdication was involuntary on his part:—That soon after both the old and new King, with the other branches of the royal family, were seen posting to Bayonne, to lay their complaints at the feet of the Emperor Napoleon—At Bayonne, the royal visitors were lodged in the French imperial palace; and their business was speedily executed,—Immediately on his arrival, the new King was made to renounce his sovereignty:—And the old King was pleased to appoint Marshal Murat (brother in law to the Emperor) to be his Regent in Spain with the military title of Lieutenant General of the Kingdom—This was scarcely proclaimed before the King, and all the Princes, by a solemn act and apparently without any consideration ceded Spain, and all her dominions, to the rule of Bonaparte;—and renounced all right to the kingdom.—Thus ended the transactions at Bayonne, and here end the official articles.
[Boston Centinel.]
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
New York, July 29.—The Thalia, Capt. Silliman, 48 days from Falmouth, has brought London papers to the 1st June, which contain the following interesting intelligence. Capt. Silliman informs, that a small vessel arrived at Falmouth, from St. Andero, about the 5th of June, with a deputation of three Spaniards, sent to inform the British government of the British government of the late change in Spain, to ask protection from the French, and a supply of arms and clothing. These Spaniards informed, that all the French at St. Andero, and in the province of Ovile, had been massacred. That the people of Madrid assaulted the French troops, but were repulsed with loss. The duke of Berg, they said, had two horses shot under him. After this affair the French troops were withdrawn from the city.
Capt. S. has dispatches for government from Mr. Pinckney.
PLEASING NEWS!
A highly respectable and intelligent republican in Boston, writes the editor of this paper the following very agreeable intelligence.—It is no more than what we expected:—The EMBARGO grows more popular; and the republican cause remains as strong as ever, notwithstanding all the clamor and exertions of the INFAMOUS JUNTO of selfish merchants and old Tories in this town.—Many of the most intelligent Federalists are warm advocates for the EMBARGO—one of them boards with me. I am told by a gentleman of undoubted veracity, that the Palladium printers have received a number of communications in favor of the Embargo, from decided federalists, with their own proper names at the bottom. They would not publish them!” [Worcester Eegis.]
The attention of our readers is particularly called to the pertinent remarks on the views and conduct of the belligerent powers with respect to this country, in our first page, under the head of American Ground, from the Washington Monitor.
TREMENDOUS STORM.
Extract of a letter from a young gentleman, in Coventry (Con.) to his brother in Worcester, dated July 3, 1808.
“On Thursday last, we had the most tremendous storm of thunder, rain and wind, ever witnessed in this vicinity.—About 12 o’clock, a cloud appeared in the northwest, and at half past 2 P. M. a spectacle was presented truly awful. In Coventry, several houses were unroofed, barns blown down, and forests all prostrated.—In the forest east of the house, containing between sixty and seventy acres, there is nothing standing but a few small trees—cannot walk one rod to it; we may say nothing remains. Orchards torn up, and fences laid prostrate with the ground.—One man, I understand, was killed in Windsor. N. Howard, Esq. had just driven a load of hay into his barn, when the wind took the barn, and turned it over, but the cattle remained unhurt. Capt. N. Root had a yoke of oxen hemmed into the woods in such a manner that they were obliged to cut away trees to get them out. A man in Mansfield lost eight cows;—and many other similar accidents happened.
Distressing Catastrophe.
We learn from Upper Canada, that on the first of July, as a raft was passing down the river St. Lawrence, valued at 100,000 dollars, on board of which were 100 men, it was taken by the tornado, 15 miles below Three Rivers, and totally destroyed, and 97 of the men drowned—three only of the 100 reached the shore. Further particulars we have not yet received. [Danville Star.]
On the 5th inst. a fire destroyed buildings and other property, in Savannah. (Geo.) to the amount of upwards of 100,000 dollars. The fire was occasioned by lightning.
The two million of Dollars.
We challenge them in vain, to an argument on any of their positions, and are left in doubt at which, most to be astonished, their extreme wickedness, or consummate impudence.
Federalists asserted that two million of dollars had been given as a tribute to France,—we declared this a falsehood, and stated, that the two million of dollars, which had been voted by Congress “to meet any extraordinary expenses of intercourse with foreign nations” had never been expended. It then became incumbent on the libellers to support their allegation, but they artfully shifted the burden of proof, and called on us to show that the money had not been expended. We went into proof of this, by noting the amount of money in the Treasury at the time of the appropriation, and by a reference to Congressional documents for a statement of the sums afterwards received into the Treasury, and of those actually paid from the Treasury; and then pointed at the result, “a demonstration that the two million of dollars had never been expended, but were still in the treasury.” We do not rest our argument on mere assertion; but, we pointed directly at the proof; and invited every one to examine it. The Oracle now declares, that an argument is no proof, and repeats the former allegation that the two million of dollars were given to France! Can so barefaced a falsehood be tolerated? Will its advocates be credited (even by the most credulous) in their future libelous assertions? Ought not the country to protect its government from charges that are made, to destroy the confidence of the people in their own administration, and to furnish a justification to England for her outrages on our sovereignty by the plea, that we are no longer an independent power, but a tributary to France!
The writer in the Oracle, repeats his assertion that two million of dollars were given to France.—We now call on that writer to prove his charge; and are ready to meet him with counter proof in any way, and on any ground.
There is one point of management, in which the federalists certainly excel. I mean the rapidity with which they make one party falsehood to succeed another. Scarcely are they detected in one untruth, the whole matter examined and proved to be false, before another is trumped up and asserted as circumstantially, and with as much positiveness as the former, and they as confidently expect it to be believed as though they had not over and over again been proven to have borne false witness. Evidence of the truth of this paragraph will crowd upon every memory. [Demo. Pref.]
The federalists have lately established at Erie (Penn.) a weekly paper called the Mirror, which appears ambitious to distinguish itself by the extravagance of its language, and the blindness of its zeal. In the fourth number of the Mirror the democratic party are represented as ‘a formidable phalanx of internal enemies,’ and the administration of the general government is said to be ‘a junta of jacobin swindlers, or official speculators.’ We note this language as the more unworthy, and the more culpable, because it is from the pen of the editor who is from the land of steady habits, (Connecticut) where they do not venture to call things by their proper names, lest they should contaminate their delicate ears or still purer mouths. [Ibid.]
From the Peterburg Republican.
How can the administration please the federal party?—What system of measures can it adopt, that will meet their approbation:
If Jefferson says, “a speck of war appears in the political horizon,” he is denounced as a blood thirsty monster.
If he recommends measures of peace he is pusillanimous.
When the crew of the Chesapeake were murdered, and the administration made a determined stand against the murderers, he was accused of partiality for France, and of a wish to engage in a war with Great Britain.
When the embargo was adopted, as a peace measure (which pressed with the greatest severity on France) they bawled out, “the finger of Napoleon is in it.”
When the government interfered to prevent produce being carried from our ports into the British and Spanish territories, contrary to the provisions of the embargo law, they vociferated, “persecution—persecution.”
When the administration stationed troops and vessels to prevent the British and a few Tories from violating the laws of the land, they represented it as “tyrannical, and an usurpation of power not warranted by the state of affairs.”
When vessels, loaded with provision, bound from Passamaquoddy, and other places, to foreign ports, were detained by our vessels and troops, they denounced it as an act of hostility which should be resented.
But when Britain, on the high seas, captures our property, they tell us it is the unavoidable effect of war.
If our vessels are condemned by the British, let the pretext be what it may, the conduct of the English judge is excused and palliated.
If our vessels are cleared, and the owner notwithstanding compelled to pay costs—all is right and proper.
It is right in G. Britain to impress our seamen, and trample on our rights.
She invites the Indians to scalp our defenceless women and children, and a word of complaint never escapes their lips.
She encourages Miranda to violate the peace of the U. S. by enlisting an army within our territories, to attack
a friendly power, and the crime is charged upon our own government.
But meditates a disaffection of the union; and again the cry of “persecution” is heard, when he is stopped in his career.
Let our own government do what it will—federalists grumble.
Let Britain kick, and cuff, and murder our citizens, insult our flag, pillage our property, and violate our laws—and all is well. Such is federalism! Is this patriotism—or is it not?
COMMUNICATIONS.
The piece in the last Oracle under the head of “Democratic Dispatches,” we recommend for perusal, to every Republican. The writer of that piece says, he will not touch “for the correctness of all the particulars” but declares it to be “a faithful detail of the best information he can obtain.” This then, is to be considered a specimen of federal information, as well as liberality and delicacy. We will not insult the understanding, and the virtue of the people of New Hampshire, by an attempt to refute calumnies that appear in federal newspapers: Nor will we descend to inveigh against federal Printers or their Coadjutors: these labor in their vocation, and their reward is with them. But we would impress on the minds of our Countrymen, that union and great exertions are requisite; for manifold are the dangers that surround us.
The Enemy of our liberties, George the third; by his proclamations and gold, returns to that system of corruption which, during the revolutionary struggle, occasioned embarrassment and distress; and our internal enemies combine their exertions with his, to excite opposition to the laws, and the national government. A numerous Army has assembled in Nova Scotia and Canada, to take advantage by any emergency; whilst the traitors, within our own borders, like Benedict Arnold, are preparing to break down our strong hold—The union of the people. We speak of national sovereignty: they tell us, England is our protector. We speak of honor: they tell us of Gold. We speak of the blessings of Heaven: they tell us of the flesh pots of Egypt. We speak of the virtue of our fathers; and are told that it is the idle dream of Philosophy. We speak of the People; and behold a swinish multitude! An awful crisis is at hand. The rattle of the Serpent, warn us of his approach.—We must crush him; or, he will sting us to death.
The friends of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Wilson, do them no service by their “dreadful retaliation.” Revenge is no justification. If, as the Oracle asserts, the enquiries—Is Mr. Chamberlain renowned for probity?—Is Mr. Wilson a strict moralist?—contain an insinuation to their disadvantage, can the stain on their forehead, be concealed by daubing other persons all over? We were invited to an enquiry, or we should not have made it. The Oracle by its publications, intended a contrast between the federal and republican ticket, and would fain have us believe that federal candidates are immaculate.—But surely, a perfect body may, without injury, be examined by an artist; and a perfect character, will stand the test of enquiry. We are notified of the silence of the Walpole & Amherst papers as evidence in favor of Mr. C. & Mr. W.:—perhaps this silence proves the contrary. We mean no offence to these gentlemen; and we think that they, themselves, expect that the Oracle, after having thus introduced them to the public, will answer our questions on its own responsibility.—Is John C. Chamberlain renowned for probity? Is James Wilson a strict moralist?
From the Coos Courier.
MR. HOUGHTON,
I have lately seen a list of candidates agreed upon by the Federalists of Boston to be voted for by the Federalists of this state at the next election of members of Congress. I think the matter ill judged both from the manner of issuing the nomination and the persons composing the Ticket.
It was highly proper that our friends at Boston should let us know who they intended to vote for; but the candidates should have come out one by one as heretofore through the medium of our Federal papers in the different counties and not have come out all at once in the Boston Centinel—I thought our Boston federalists knew better how to manage these things. Then, there is a great objection as to the candidates—some of them are too little and others too much known in the country—In short it is the opinion of many of our friends on account of the above & other objections that this Federal ticket will not carry. Being a member of the General Court, and having had an opportunity to know the minds of our federal friends in the various parts of the state, I am fully persuaded that the following Gentlemen will, if held up as Candidates, obtain the federal Votes in preference to the Boston Ticket. I therefore would wish you as an impartial Printer to insert their names in your Courier, and you will oblige An Independent Federalist.
True federal ticket for members of Congress for 1808. JOSEPH BLANCHARD, Esq. of Chester, for Rockingham County. EBENEZER SMITH, Esq. of Durham, for Strafford do. EBENEZER EDWARDS, Esq. of Temple, for Hillsborough do. REV. SETH PAYSON, of Rindge, for Cheshire do. AARON HUTCHINSON, Esq. of Lebanon, for Grafton do.
The tornado, which has extended generally through this State, besides damaging property has likewise in some instances taken life. On the 1st July, in Lyman (N.H.) as a collection of children were returning from school, a daughter of John Sayer, aged eight years, was crushed into the dust by the falling of a tree. When she was taken from under the tree, scarcely any traces of the human form were discoverable. Three more were wounded—one considerable dangerous—the others slightly.
In Waterford, the hail stones were gathered after the storm abated, and measured 7 inches in circumference. Glass in the houses at Waterford was generally broken by the hail and crops destroyed. Such an instance of general destruction, probably has not been witnessed since the country was settled.
Audacity unparalleled! —A writer in the New-York Herald of the 2d July, proposed “that all the ships or vessels in port, instead of displaying their colors at mast-head, on the 4th of July, as a day of rejoicing, should hoist them half-mast high, AS A DAY OF MOURNING;” &c.—Old Whigs, what think ye of this proposition?
The Baltimore “Ward” informs, that at one of the meetings in the vicinity of that place, a federal Lawyer, “gave a toast comprising some such sentiment as this—“Damnation to all Democrats!” A gentleman who objected to drinking it, had a glass of wine thrown in his face.
The same paper mentions a report that the notorious Robert Goodloe Harper, who has the command of a company of Artillery in that city, not only refused to join in the celebration of the 4th of July, but wrote to his company not to turn out.—This circumstance drew forth the following sarcastic toast from a member of the Union Greens—“Herpen firing for the HARPER who would not play on the 4th of July.”
The following is the Republican Ticket for Representatives to Congress:

Improved Patent Illuminators
Or Sky Lights for Shipping.
GIVING a more general light than the common Sky Light, with one fourth part of the expence—They are neither liable to leak, break, or to be injured by the common traffic of the deck, nor are they any incumbrance on the deck, and may be placed in any part of the ship where light is wanting, either in the deck or fides; and are equally applicable to the State Room, Steerage, Forecastle, or Cabin. For Houses, they are equally useful, furnishing light at one half the expence of the common Sky Light, and in no danger from hailstones or falling rubbish. The utility and saving in this, must be obvious to every person acquainted with shipping.

From the Trenton American. EMBARGO.
There's knaves and fools and dupes & tools Debas'd enough to argue, That every ill the people feel Is owing to The Embargo. Does some loose tongue like clapper hung Delight in constant dinging; The Embargo well supplies the bell Against which to be ringing. Do party-men incline to pen A false and foolish far-go, No other theme so fruitful seem As "Jefferson's d-d Embargo." To pelf and power would villains soar Mid uproar and confusion; With hearts well-pleas'd, the Embargo's seiz'd To work the dire delusion. Should Hessian Fly our wheat destroy, Or granaries crawl with weevil, The Embargo's curse in language worst As source of all the evil. Does wind or wave to watry grave Consign ship, crew and cargo, 'Tis chance but some, with visage grum, Ascribe it to the Embargo. Does cold or heat or draught or wet Work hay or harvest's ruin, 'Tis made appear, as noon-day clear, 'Tis all the Embargo's doing. Or should our crops exceed our hopes, Right roundabout they dare go, And in a trice the lesson'd price, Is charg'd upon the Embargo. Should boat or ship lose tide or trip, By gale, or ice, or fresher; The Embargo 'tis puts all amiss, And merrily they curse it. Do vermin bold, on trees take hold, And make their limbs quite bare go, 'Tis ten to one the mischief done Is saddl'd on the Embargo. Has drunken swab, or idle drab, Become forlorn and needy, Both he and she will find a plea, 'Embargo,' always ready. Is buck or blade bankrupt in trade, By cloth, or vice, or folly; He's not to blame—the fault and shame Rest on the Embargo wholly. Does some vile knave, his cash to save, Pay all his debts with paper; 'The Embargo laws' are made the cause, And loud he'll rant and vapor. But tho' such knaves and fools and slaves Paint it a frightful scarecrow, The good and wise, their arts despise, And cling to the Embargo. They know it keeps from Pirate's grips, Our vessels, crews and cargoes; Which were they lost, much more would cost Than half a score Embargoes. They know that this most punishes The nations that oppresses us; While it involves our injured selves In least and fewest distresses. They know that war would cost us more Monthly than this does yearly; While every blow some blood must flow From kin or friends lov'd dearly. Then let who will, to work our ill, Against it lie and ague; Columbia's Sons, in loudest tones, Will laud THE WISE EMBARGO. JERSEY BLUE.
EXTRACT FROM AN ESSAY ENTITLED, Punctuality the Life of Business.
THE PRINTER. Perhaps it may not be amiss to re- member the Printer in my discourse. He is in a very difficult and disagree- able situation. He trusts every body, who, he knows not, his money is scat- tered every where, he hardly knows where to look for it. His paper, his ink, his presses and his types, his la- bour and his living, all must punctu- ally be paid for—You, Mr.——, and Mr.——, and Mr.—— and Mr.——, and an hundred others I could name, have taken Messrs.——'s pa- per a great while. You and your wives, and your children, and your neighbours, have been amused and in- formed, and I hope improved by it; if you miss one paper you think very hard of the printer or the post for it, for you had rather go without your best meal than without your paper; have you ever complied with the con- dition of subscription? Have you tak- en as much pains to furnish the print- er with his money as he has to furnish you with his paper? Have you con- tributed your mite to repay him for his ink, his paper, his types, his press- es, his hand work, and head work? If you have not—go—pay him off, "and fin no more."
The application may be made by— each one whom the cost fits.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING A REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER. IN THE TOWN OF NEWBURYPORT, TO BE ENTITLED THE AMERICAN STATESMAN. TO THE PUBLIC. IN offering to the public, proposals for pub- lishing a Newspaper, it is necessary for the proposer to state the principles which are to govern him in the undertaking—that the community at large, may have a just idea of the merits of the establishment, before they bestow their patronage. The subscriber can only say, that he will use his utmost exertions to deserve the favor of the friends of republicanism, by support- ing the Constitution and laws of the land; the present administration, and all such as may be called to administer the government, who tread in the steps of the present illus- trious President;—by advocating the liberty and independence of the United States, and opposing faction wherever it originates— His labours will not be solely confined to the politics of the day—but he will endeav- or to render his establishment worthy the patronage of the merchant and man of let- ters, by blending a variety of useful, foreign and domestic intelligence, with literary and religious information. He rests his hopes for success, on the pa- tronage of a liberal public; and if he should be so happy as to find his expectations real- ised, he will use every exertion to please and gratify those who may honor him with their support. To his republican fellow-citizens, he par- ticularly looks for encouragement;—for it is a fact too well known, that the county of Essex is the seat of aristocracy, and his la- bors will in a great manner be thwarted, unless he experiences the support of his po- litical friends. He trusts that his establishment will be conducted on such a plan, as will perfectly congenial to the feelings of every liberal A- merican; whose patronage alone he solicits. To advocate the government of the Union in every step that shall be taken, at the pre- sent crisis, for the support of the honor and dignity of the nation, and to oppose the as- perions of the enemies of our freedom, will form a constant portion of the labor of the public's humble servant. JOSEPH GLEASON, JUN.
