EMBARGO.
This is a strong measure proceeding from the energy of the public councils, appealing to the patriotism of their constituents, and is of all measures the one peculiarly adapted to the crisis. The honest judgment of all parties has anticipated and called for it.
The measure could no longer, in fact, be delayed without sacrificing the vital interests of the nation.
Great-Britain by interpolations into the maritime code operating on her enemies thro' the violated rights of neutrals, furnished an occasion which was seized by the French government for the decree of November 1806, interdicting commerce with G. Britain, which was adopted by the allies of France, particularly by Spain, in her decree of Feb'y 1807.
The decree of November was followed by the retaliating British order of January 1807, making war on all neutral trade usually carried on from the ports of one enemy to those of another.
France, again seconded by Spain and other allies, is retaliating on this order, by new constructions extending their decrees to all trade from British territories or in British articles.
And it is clear that if not already done, G. Britain meditates further retaliations, most probably an interdiction of all trade by this country, (now the only neutral one) with the enemies of G. Britain, that is to say with the whole commercial world.
To these destructive operations against our commerce, is to be added the late proclamation of G. Britain on the subject of seamen. This extraordinary instrument, instead of relinquishing the pretensions with respect to alleged deserters on board national ships, extends it to all British seamen on board; varying only the mode of process, from that used by Berkeley, to a decree to be obtained by the government itself. And with respect to seamen on board merchant vessels, the proclamation has made it the duty of all her sea officers to search for and seize all such as may call British natives; whether wanted or not for the service of their respective ships. From the proportion of American citizens heretofore taken under the name of British seamen, may be calculated the number of victims to be added by this formal sanction to the claim of British officers, and the conversion of that claim into a duty.
Thus the ocean presents a field only where no harvest is to be reaped but that of danger, of spoliation and of disgrace.
Under such circumstances, the best to be done is what has been done; a dignified retirement within ourselves; a watchful preservation of our resources; and a demonstration to the world, that we possess a virtue and a patriotism which can take any shape that will best suit the occasion.
It is singularly fortunate that an embargo, whilst it guards our essential resources, will have the collateral effect of making it the interests of all nations to change the system which has driven our commerce from the ocean.
Great Britain will feel it in her manufactures, in the loss of naval stores, and above all in the supplies essential to her colonies; to the number of which she is adding by new conquests.
France will feel it in the loss of all those colonial luxuries, which she has hitherto received through our neutral commerce; and her colonies will at once be cut off from the sale of their productions, and the source of their supplies.
Spain will feel it more, perhaps than any, in the failure of imported food, not making enough within herself, and in her populous and important colonies which depend wholly on us for the supply of their daily wants.
It is a happy consideration also attending this measure, that although it will have these effects, salutary it may be hoped, on the policy of the great contending nations, it affords neither of them the slightest ground for complaint. The embargo violates the rights of none. Its objects is to secure ourselves. It is a measure of precaution, not of aggression. It is resorted to by all nations, when their great interests require it. All of them have made us on different occasions feel the effects of such a resort on our commercial interests. And it could be the less murmured at, by those who may be incidentally affected by the present embargo; inasmuch as they have forced us into the measure by the direct effect on us, of measures founded in an alleged regard for their own eventual safety and essential interests.
But may not the embargo bring on war from some of the nations affected by it? Certainly not; if war be not predetermined on against us. Being a measure of peace and precaution; being universal, and therefore impartial! extending in reality as well as ostensibly to all nations, there is not a shadow of pretext to make it a cause of war. War, therefore let it be repeated, cannot be the result; unless it be in pursuance of a predetermined plan of hostility against this country.
Will it not be an impediment to amicable negotiations with nations with which we have unsettled differences?—Not more than any other precaution; not more, certainly, than military preparations, with which depending negotiations are frequently accompanied, and sometimes professedly armed. The policy of President Washington sent Mr. Jay into negotiation with an embargo in his hand. Would the treaty he made have been the worse, if the embargo had not been resorted to?
The embargo then is the best expedient in its best form. It has been recommended by the President, who has the best means of knowing the policy of foreign governments, and it has been adopted by Congress, who are alone able to provide in such cases for the security of the public rights and interests; adopted almost unanimously by the Senate, and by as large a majority in the House of Representatives as is to be expected in any case, where an honest difference of opinion may be added to the habitual opposition of party spirit.
All that remains then for a people considering in their government is to rally round the measure which that government has adopted for their good, and to secure its just effect, by patiently and proudly submitting to every inconvenience which such a measure necessarily carries with it.
Mr. JEFFERSON's second Presidential term will expire 4th March, 1809.—We shall have the benefit of his services for 14 months yet to come. After that, his determination is unalterably fixed—to yield his place to a successor. He will depart from office with the sincere gratitude and benedictions of his country. [Chronicle.]
LAWS OF THE United States, PASSED FIRST OF TENTH SESSION AT THE CONGRESS. [PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
EMBARGO.
AN ACT laying an EMBARGO on all Ships and Vessels in the Ports and Harbors of the United States:—
B E it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That an EMBARGO be and hereby is laid on all ships and vessels in the ports and places within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States cleared or not cleared, bound to any foreign port or place; and that no clearance be furnished to any ship or vessel bound to such foreign port or place, except vessels under the immediate direction of the President of the United States; and that the President be authorized to give such instructions to the officers of the Revenue and of the Navy and Revenue Cutters of the U. States, as shall appear best adapted for carrying the same into full effect. Provided , That nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the departure of any foreign ship or vessel, either in ballast, or with the goods, wares and merchandise on board of such foreign ship or vessel, when notified of this act.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted , That during the continuance of this act, no registered, or sea letter vessel, having on board goods, wares and merchandise, shall be allowed to depart from one port of the United States to another within the same, unless the master, owner, consignee, or factor of such vessel, shall first give bond with one or more sureties to the Collector of the district from which she is bound to depart, in a sum of double the value of the vessel and cargo, that the said goods, wares and merchandise shall be relanded in some port of the United States, dangers of the seas excepted: which bond, and also a certificate from the Collector where the same may be relanded, shall, by the Collectors respectively, be transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. All armed vessels possessing public commissions from any foreign power, are not to be considered as liable to the Embargo laid by this act.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted , That a sum not exceeding eight hundred and fifty-two thousand five hundred dollars be, and hereby is appropriated for this purpose, out of any monies in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.

BY THE MAILS.
The Act of Embargo was thrown so hastily before the public, through the customary vehicles of information, that it was not accompanied with the documents necessary to explain the considerations on which it is founded. The following message from the President to both branches of the National Legislature, and the "Communications" to which it refers, sufficiently displays the policy of the measure; the wisdom of it will hardly be doubted by any person who examines carefully the grounds of proceeding. The present war of Europe has arrived at that point of atrocious desperation which no longer acknowledges the jurisdiction of right , but claims as privilege whatsoever power can enforce: A general scramble for the wealth and resources of neutral states has taken place between France and Great Britain; and already the trading nations, Denmark and Portugal, have been seized by the combatants with as little remorse as a tyger would devour his prey.—With such examples before our eyes, and the recent interpretation of the meaning of the French decree, together with the British proclamation relative to seamen, flaring us full in the face, threatening destruction to the mercantile marine of our country and seizure of the merchandise of our citizens, in laying an embargo the government of the United States has done no more than its duty —a duty enforced upon every member of the legislative and executive departments, when each took the oath to support the constitution; an instrument that was especially framed to "provide for the common defence and promote the general welfare." This cannot be done more effectually, as every reasonable man will allow, in the existing troubled state of the world, than by 'keeping in safety' our seamen, our vessels, and our merchandise , to meet and provide for 'whatever events may grow out of the present crisis.'
*To wit: The exposition of the French decree of blockade of Nov. 21, 1806, and the late British proclamation; both of which have already appeared in the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 1807. IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS!
The following confidential message was communicated to both houses on Friday last. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
The communications now made, showing the great and increasing dangers with which our vessels, our seamen, and merchandise are threatened, on the high seas and elsewhere, from the belligerent powers of Europe, and it being of the greatest importance to keep in safety these essential resources, I deem it my duty to recommend the subject to the consideration of Congress; who will doubtless perceive all the advantages which may be expected from an inhibition of the departure of our vessels from the ports of the United States.
Their wisdom will also see the necessity of making every preparation for whatever events may grow out of the present crisis. I ask a return of the letters of Messrs. ARMSTRONG and CHAMPAIGNY, which it would be improper to make public.
TH: JEFFERSON. December 18, 1807.
Extract of a letter from the Grand Judge, minister of Justice, to the Imperial Attorney General for the council of prizes. (TRANSLATION.) Paris Sept. 18, 1807.
SIR,—I have submitted to his majesty the Emperor and King, the doubts raised by his excellency the Minister of Marine and Colonies, on the extent of certain dispositions of the Imperial decree of the 21st Nov. 1806, which has declared the British Isles in a state of blockade.
The following are his majesty's intentions on the points in question:
1. May vessels of war by virtue of the imperial decree of 21st Nov. last, seize on board neutral vessels, either, English property, or even all merchandise proceeding from the English manufactures or territory?
Answer.—His majesty has intimated that as he did not think proper to express any exception in his decree, there is no ground for making any in its execution in relation to any whomsoever ( à l'égard de qui que ce soit ).
2. His majesty has postponed a decision on the question whether armed French vessels ought to capture neutral vessels bound to or from England, even when they have no English merchandise on board.
(Signed) REGNIER.

Yesterday the bill for erecting and repairing fortifications, was, after some debate, (on a proposition for inserting a larger sum than one million of dollars, which was negatived) passed in the House without a division.
CHILICOTHE, (Ohio) Dec. 5. On Monday last subpoena's issued from the office of the clerk of the United States' circuit court, for summoning witnesses, to attend the trial of Aron Burr, &c. on the first Monday in January next.
We understand that Mr. Wm. Wirt has been employed in behalf of the government, to aid Mr. Creighton, the United States attorney, in the prosecution of the trial of Aron Burr, and his associates.
We have also learned, that the principal bulk of evidence, who attended the trial in Richmond, will attend in Chillicothe—this vast assemblage which must fill our town will exhibit a spec-
tacle new and interesting. A scene of a similar nature has never before transpired in our country.
RICHMOND, (Vir.) Nov. 18.
The following resolutions were moved in the house of delegates by William Pope, Esq. a member from the county of Powhatan, and are now under consideration.
Resolved, That the general assembly of Virginia, view with great consideration and respect, the wise, firm and energetic measures pursued by the President of the United States, relative to the unprecedented conduct of Great Britain towards the United States of America, particularly in the inidious, cowardly, and unjustifiable attack made by the Leopard upon the 22d (in a state of profound peace) on the American frigate Chesapeake.
Resolved, therefore, That the general assembly of Virginia, do solemnly in the name of themselves and the good people of Virginia (whom they represent) declare that they will, with all the energies of the commonwealth, second and support the American congress now in session, in all and every thing they may adopt for a reparation of the injuries, that England has so cruelly, and so contrary to the usages of all civilized nations, inflicted on the honor and independence of the flag of the U. States of America.
Resolved, also, That the general assembly will from this day forward, appropriate one third of their daily pay for the purchase or manufacture of arms (as the case may be) for the purpose of arming one or two regiments of the militia of the commonwealth.
MONTPELIER, Dec. 18.
From Peacham, we have received information by letter, that Capt. M'Lean, who was in that town on Thursday, left directly from Quebec, (L. C.) to which place he belongs, gave information that six Regiments of the best disciplined troops, having all their accoutrements in the most ample order, were lately landed in that city, from England, for the purpose of defence. They are composed of young men, not exceeding 30 years of age, and having an accurate knowledge of military tactics. These, with the regular troops previously stationed there, compose an army of 10,000 men. They have 500 pieces of cannon, and are furnished with provisions and fuel for seven years.
The troops stationed there through the summer and autumn past, have constantly been employed in repairing the old fortifications and batteries, and in erecting several new ones. All of which are now formidable, it is considered there, that it is impossible the city can be attacked with the least probability of success. This evidently has a strong appearance of a determination of war, on the part of G. Britain. [Watchman.]
From the 'North Star,' (published at Danville, Vermont) of Dec. 22.
THE CANADIANS.
We have delayed to publish our information respecting the feelings of the Canadians on the question of war between the United States and Britain, lest we should seem to favor an immediate rupture. We cannot for such considerations preserve a longer silence, since we draw our information, not from a few individuals, but from the concurrence of all respectable characters who are frequently visiting this place from Lower Canada. We can state with confidence, that, except their newspapers, which are published under the eye of the provincial government, and which teem with hostility against the United States, for the double purpose of blinding the Canadians and meriting the favor of his majesty, George the third, on the question of war, there is a unanimity among the Canadians against Britain as great as that among the people of the United States at the commencement of the revolution. The Canadians feel a pride in the American name, and are waiting the favorable crisis for exchanging the appellation of subjects—a foter name of servitude which they brook indignantly—for that of independent free-men, an honor to which they are not insensible.
We predict on sources of information to be relied on, and we call our readers to remember in the event of war, which may God avert, that the conquest of Canada will be the fruit of her own efforts, and will not require the aid of a single man or cent on the part of the United States.
The Canadians already cease to regard with confidence the effusions of their Gazettes on the approaching rupture. Their gaols are filled and running over with subjects arrested for disaffection to orders for arming them in a warlike posture against America, and republican papers circulate to a considerable extent in both provinces.
AMHERST, N. H. Dec. 22.
Last week was committed to jail in this town into the same apartment with the noted James McDonald, one Samuel Henry, a native of Massachusetts, whose connections, like those of his associate and competitor in iniquity, are said to be worthy and respectable.
It appears this culprit had been loitering for several weeks in the town of Temple.—On Sunday evening he entered a house occupied by two aged persons, a brother and sister—the former of whom was about 78, and the latter 82 years of age—and demanded a peremptory manner a luxurious refreshment of chickens and the like. Not being in a situation to gratify his wishes, they offered him as good as the house afforded;—at which he threatened burning their dwelling over their heads, &c.; and, happened to step out at the door, they made it fast with a bolt. Finding an axe by the assistance of moon light, he attempted to burst the door; but his attempts to force the bar were ineffectual, notwithstanding he split the door in several places; and he proceeded to a window, through which he rose, the ax at the old lady, the joint of whose arm it displaced from the socket that connected it with the body, and cut and lacerated her in such a manner that her life is despaired of.—What adds to the turpitude of this offence is, that the hardened villain at his examination before justice Edwards, on being reminded that, in case of the death of
the woman, it might bring him to the gallows, re-acknowledged the commission of the crime without any apparent chagrin or compunction; and even expressed a satisfaction, that he should have a HOME provided him for the winter.
NEW-BEDFORD, JAN. 1. By the Packet, Wright, arrived yesterday, New-York papers of Wednesday morning have been received. They are very barren of important matter; much more so than at such a critical juncture, one would suppose. But few commentaries are made upon the effect of the Embargo Act.—Mr. Monroe arrived at Washington the 22d, he is reported to have said in the House of Representatives, that the mission of Mr. Rufus not to be considered as calculated to produce peace. One of the Senators of the United States, writes to his friend at New-York, that the letters of Champlain and Armstrong which Mr. Jefferson alludes to in his message, as confidential, relate solely to an explanation of Bonaparte's blocking decree.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1808.
AN APPEAL TO WELL-DISPOSED CITIZENS.
THE EMBARGO must be considered by every considerate citizen the most wise and prudent measure to be adopted by the government. It would be the greatest folly for the Americans to sport their property between the contending powers of Europe.—The safest mode is, to keep our real resources within ourselves, and not suffer the enemy to impoverish us by capturing our vessels, cargoes and seamen. To this prudent measure the Edifex Juno , and the BRITISH FACTION , are opposed; and every method will be taken to raise jealousy and dissension in the country, to frustrate the embargo.—We shall hear a great deal about the poor farmer, and the poor tradesman, on account of the embargo; but the fact is, the persons who are making this outcry are those, who care neither for the farmer nor the tradesman. We have in every seaport a new-fangled group of nominal merchants , who are very willing to risk their vessels and cargoes at sea—knowing that if they are taken, they shall not be the losers, but the loss will fall on the tradesmen and farmers who trust them. The real merchant will not thus risk his property. The man who ships his own goods, or such as he is able to pay for in case of capture, must acknowledge, that the government at the present crisis has acted in the most prudent manner. But the greater part of these noisy turbulent opposers, who write in the federal papers, are desperate speculators, who don't care whose property they hazard, if they can get a chance to help themselves. If the real farmer, tradesman and merchant , will stand firm in protecting the embargo and other measures of the government, the United States will see the effects of their restrictive energies in bringing the powers of Europe to a just settlement with this country. The BRITISH FACTION know this—and we know, "by their roaring," the government has "hit them right." The more the Tories roar, the better for the country. We found this was true in '75—and the same group of Traitors are now growling at the measures of government. [Boston Chronicle.]
For several days we have been without advices from Washington, by which we can form any opinion on the state of affairs. The arrival of Dr. Bullus with dispatches is said to have created a considerable sensation at the seat of government. As it relates to our negotiations with England, things will remain in statu quo until the arrival of Mr. Rose, who is hourly expected. Mr. Monroe's arrival will serve to throw some new light on the dispositions of the British cabinet towards us, while the dispatches of Gen. Armstrong may possibly relate to the state of our negotiations with the court of Spain, together with an explanation of his reasons for the advice given to our consuls in France and Holland, pressing the immediate departure of all American vessels from French & Dutch ports. The late frequent discussions in the House of Congress with closed doors lead us to believe the communications which produced them to be of the highest importance, and of a nature which may produce a line of conduct to be pursued by the executive in the negotiation which will take place on the arrival of the British minister. [Baltimore American.]
ANOTHER TORT LIE.
The Portland federal paper of the 28th December, states that Mr. MONROE in his reply to the address from the citizens of Norfolk, said, that "He expressed his astonishment to find so many advocates for a war with England, when the government and people of that country are sincerely disposed to be at peace with us." The following is the answer of Mr. MONROE, to the Norfolk address:—
"If any circumstance could heighten the delight which I feel in returning to my country, it would be the very flattering reception which has been given to me by the Mayor and Common Council of Norfolk, on their own part and in behalf of their fellow citizens. So kind a welcome could not have failed to produce under any circumstances its merited effect, but in the present case it has excited in a peculiar degree my sensibility. In the high trusts with which I have been honored by my government, with several of the principal powers in Europe, for nearly five years past, I have indeed felt all that solicitude which you so justly censure.—Well knowing that the honor of my government and the happiness of my fellow-citizens were essentially involved in the results of the important negotiations in which I partook, I am conscious of having done every thing in my power to acquire myself in every instance to their just claims and expectations. Their approbation is the high reward to which I have looked, and I beg you to be assured, that it will give me the greatest possible satisfaction to find that I am thought by them, in some degree, to have deserved it. The assurance which you have been so good as to express, of your confidence in the zeal and integrity with which I have discharged my public duties and the interest which you take in my future welfare, merit my warmest acknowledgements."
That you, gentlemen, and that all my fellow-citizens of Norfolk may continue to enjoy the blessings which are so eminently due to your merit and patriotism, is a hope which I shall never cease to cherish, as it is an object in which I shall always take the greatest interest. JAMES MONROE."

CONSPIRACY IN SPAIN. An alarming Conspiracy has been detected in Spain. Reports state, that a considerable number of the Spanish Nobility, headed by the Prince of Asturias, the King's son, had planned a revolution, and had assembled in arms many of their followers. The scheme was discovered, and many of the leaders seized and imprisoned. French troops had been ordered to Madrid.
The following is the only official article we have seen respecting this conspiracy, and we should infer from this document that there was no longer any danger to be apprehended from it.
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER. The 29th of this month, His Catholic majesty passed at the Council the following Royal Decree:
GOD, who watches over and protects his creatures, will not permit the execution of atrocious deeds, when the victims are innocent. Thus, therefore has his Omnipotence rescued me from the most unheard of catastrophe. My people, my subjects all have a due sense of my christianity and regular habits—all love me, and from all I do receive proofs of veneration, such as are due to the respect of a father who tenderly loves his children;—thus did I live, persuaded of my supreme happiness, when an unknown hand discovered the most enormous and unnatural plan, contrived in my own palace and against my person. My life, which has been so often in danger, had become a burthen to my successor, who prepossessed, blind and devoid of every principle of religion which my paternal care and love had impressed upon his mind, had consulted, and even admitted a plan to dethrone me. I, myself, enquired and investigated the veracity of this attempt, and surprised him in my own apartment, in possession of the cypher of intelligence which he received from the traitors. I called together my president, ad interim of the council, together with other ministers, to undertake the discovery. All was done in due form, and the result was, that I decreed the confinement of several criminals, and also that of my son to his own apartment; this was an additional grief to the many that already inflicted me—truly as it is the most heinous, so, likewise, is it the most necessary to punish. And I ordered the publication of the facts, desirous to disclose to my subjects a pang which might be lessened by the proofs of their loyalty. I have therefore communicated it in order that it may circulate in due form.
Dated in San Lorenzo, October 30, 1807.
We have now repeated assurances from the President, that he shall not be again a candidate for our first honors. We have seen these assurances to Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and they will probably be continued to all the States, as they respectively communicate to the President their expressions of hearty approbation, and of unfeigned gratitude for his past services. It must be an exalted pleasure to have these numerous testimonies from an happy people.
Instead of the rumours of war from Michigan, we are informed that an Indian treaty has been obtained at Detroit, by the unanimous consent of the tribes, by which for 50,000 dolls. five millions of acres are in the possession of the United States by extinguishing all claims. These extend on the Miame, and include a right to the rivers and islands of lakes Erie and Huron, and to the waters of St. Clair and Detroit. We are also told, that the survey has been finished, ordered by the Legislature of the State, from the head of the tide waters of Penobscot to the lands on the eastern line of Maine.
In Virginia, the Legislature were deliberating upon an address to Congress announcing their desires of a change in the Judiciary establishment, subjecting the Judges to the control of two thirds of the members of both Houses of Congress; and Pennsylvania had proposed resolves in the same spirit and on the same subject. Vermont has expressed itself on that subject.—A petition from the University of William and Mary, and from Washington Academy, in Virginia, to the Legislature, to obtain the privilege of summoning witnesses, is mentioned in the report of the business of the Assembly. A most zealous expression of full support to the administration, accompanied with a surrender of part of the pay of the Assembly for the purchase of arms, has been proposed in their Assembly. A report has also been made in New Jersey in favor of the purchase of arms by the State. The deep interest which the Legislatures take in our national affairs, promises well to our country. [Essex Register.]
Notwithstanding the numerous failures at Portland, the Banks at that place pay their bills as promptly as usual, and without delay. Of this fact, we are informed by a gentleman who carried a large number of their bills home the present week. [Com.]
FOR THE N. H. GAZETTE. To the Hon. JAMES ELLIOT, Esq. MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM VERMONT. Sir,
AN extract from your speech delivered in the House of Representatives on the 28th of December, has appeared in the Portsmouth Oracle of the 2d of January, and I presume in many other federal prints. As you had been considered, of late, rather shop talk , so, it was not expected that anything entertaining could proceed out of your mouth. But the public is disappointed: Your head furnishes an Ebb, and the public is to be amused by found.
Your forefathers on the Administration are but the echo of abuse from English partisans . Yet, at times, you echo the voice of Americans and denounce English partisans . You say, "the measures of Administration are calculated to lower the national spirit; to weaken the national strength; and to keep up the spirit of party." So have said, that curse of our country, English partisans ; and by such false assertions they, and you, lower the national spirit, weaken the national strength, and keep up the spirit of party. You echo the voice of Americans, "that the country is in danger, and that the time must come" (it has come) "when all the wisdom of the House" (and of the nation) "would be" (and now is) "necessary to save the country from degradation." Apon, "you protest against measures calculated to plunge the country into the horrors of war on mere points of expediency" (is it not expedient to maintain national character?) "that the people of the North (meaning Yankees) would never go to war on mere speculative points."—Spirit of Washington! is it on a mere speculative point that the destinies of this nation depend?—Its independence and the safety of its citizens?—Separate, say Bronson, and Prenice , and Park , and Elliott : "separate the outrage on the Chesapeake from other and older points of dispute? If you obtain reparation for the former, negotiate about the latter?" You have been kicked, and cuffed, and spit upon! but wipe your face?—Here is a cambric handkerchief , manufactured in IRELAND, and perfumed with ROSE—Wipe your face, then negotiate about the kicks and cuffs, and say nothing about the murder of Wilson who was taken from the Chesapeake, then enlivened into a Rat-ford, and hung like a dog? Say nothing about the Proclamation of king George, wherein he declares that the certificates of naturalization of the American Government are nothing worth, and that his mirmidons shall search your vessels and expose them to destruction by dragging thence miserable men, who from their childhood have been inhabitants of your country, and have been promised liberty and protection!
Retire fir? retire from the Councils of the Nation? The blood of an American boils at your meanness! your country will not miss you. Hasten to the woods of Vermont; but let not her sons behold you? They are noble, brave, daring—like the worthies of old, they will rush from retirement to the command of armies: to the defence of their country.
You declaim about gunboats: you do not reason: you do not prove their insufficiency: but you say "the President has a whim—a passion!" You prate about a grand scheme of National defence: but you neither point out the way, nor the means. "Miserable, vain system of Gunboats!" you exclaim, "thought useful by the President, a solitary individual, and, perhaps, by him only of all the nation"—Have your eyes been blinded that you cannot see? Are your ears heavy that you do not hear? Is your understanding darkened that you will not perceive, that Architects and Tacticians from every part of the nation have not merely approved, but have clearly demonstrated the utility of this system of defence; and that the practice of all maritime nations supports the doctrine.—Ah sir, you are absorbed in self contemplations. Beyond the rays of your own glory you see nothing but darkness. Hasten then, to the recesses of your fancy has depicted, "where you will be free from the toils and cares of public life"; and where, without interruption, you may meditate on your own greatness. But, in this inglorious retirement, should you, for a moment, be able to abstract your thoughts from the idol of their worship, you might derive some advantage from a little book I would recommend for your study—It is, A MAHON on self knowledge . A YANKEE.
For a little while after the just indignation of an insulted and greatly injured people had overthrown that Corbetta called federalism , the curs of faction ceased their yelping; but as the monster was not quite killed, so, these same curs once more trouble the country with their barking.—It is time to unkennel them.
* The mythology of Greece represents Corbetta as being a dog that guarded the gates of hell, with three heads and necks.
COMMUNICATION. To the Physicians of Portsmouth. GENTLEMEN—
I WAS very much pleased to read your advertisement in the last Gazette; your resolution is pertinent, and will prove beneficial to yourselves and debtors. I respect the Physicians of Portsmouth; no man has a higher sense of their usefulness and respectability than myself—but you will excuse me gentlemen for not subscribing to your infallibility, especially if I prove that some of you practise an error derogatory to your professional character and injurious to the community. You undoubtedly perceive that I have reference to the mode of making out your accounts; which is as follows, viz.
Mr. A. B. to C. D. — Dr. To Medicine and Attendance (say) from D. C. the first of January 1807, to the first of January 1808. (ay) 47 11
The above method renders it impossible for the debtor to discover any error that might inadvertently have been made by the creditor. The incapacity of the debtors not being able to read the characters and technical terms necessary to be made in particularizing your accounts, is not sufficient apology for the practice; for should suspicion of error, or suspicion of honesty operate on the mind, it must ever remain unsatisfied, very much to the injury of the honest physician; but should particular accounts be rendered, the debtor would be better pleased, and by application for information, he would be able to correct any errors, and be referred to the good opinion of his friend. The dangerous tendency of the practice is evident, as it respects yourselves, your profession, and the public.
I will admit for a moment that the Doctors in Portsmouth are perfect and infallible; (which will be carrying the argument to the extreme) even in this case, your perfection and infallibility could not be sufficient to continue in the error to which I allude. Should every other plea be given up that might be urged to dissuade you from the injurious practice, the following I conceive would be incontrovertibly sufficient to condemn the mode: I mean the probable imperfection & fallibility of those practitioners that may be on the stage after your decease. It is difficult to remove long established customs, however erroneous, and hereafter dishonorable men of your profession would claim the exclusive privilege, and contend for it as their right, for the purpose of increasing their wealth to the injury of others. I presume that gentlemen in the practice of physic, men of integrity, uprightness and honor, if convinced of the dangerous tendency of exhibiting their general accounts, will readily comply with the wishes of their debtors by correcting the error—But men of opposite principles will not so easily give up an undue advantage.
My addressing you, gentlemen, at this time, is not occasioned by any imposition that I have experienced, or from ill-nature; but merely to draw your attention to the dangerous consequences of your countenancing General Accounts. If the above observations are conclusive, I have no doubt of their good effect—but if otherwise, and either of you should avow the propriety of making out general accounts, I invite you to a fair discussion of the subject, and will endeavour to prove that such a method is illegal and unjust.
A friend to the Physicians.
Notice has been taken of some uncommon meteors which have appeared lately in America, as well as in Europe. An uncommon meteor was seen on the Hudson, at sunrise on the 14th, at Poughkeepsie, and it disappeared with great explosion. Another was seen on the 17th, in the evening. That of 14th Dec. seen at day break, burnt in Fairfield county, in Connecticut, and in several places the substances were obtained, which had been discharged, and some specimens were conveyed to Yale College, in New-Haven, in that State. This same meteor was probably seen at Rutland, in the State of Vermont. Poughkeepsie is on the same side of the Hudson with Fairfield county, in Connecticut, with about a degree difference of Longitude. It was seen in sundry places in New-York state, but to be seen at Rutland, it must have been seen in two degrees of higher North Latitude. Notice is taken of a similar meteor seen in October last, both at Edinburgh and Glasgow, in Scotland. It is said that good opportunity is now afforded for an accurate examination of the properties of this aerial discharge.
[Essex Register.] Private letters in town say, that the British government have sent orders to the British colonies beyond the Cape of Good Hope, to issue letters of marque against all vessels sailing under the American flag—the orders are said to be dated the 29th Sept. 1807. [Aurora.]
It was some time since stated on authentic grounds, that the British Government of Jamaica had transported 30 convicted negroes to one of our southern states! Is there no infringement of sovereignty in this, according to the received and acknowledged principles of all civilized nations? Has the state of Massachusetts, according to acknowledged principles, a right to send her convicts to New-Hampshire or Rhode-Island? What would be said at Halifax, if the government of Virginia should transport 30 convicted negroes to that place? [Democrat.]
The Rev. Jesse Appleton, was installed as President of Bowdoin College, at Brunswick, on Wednesday, December 23.
