THE PRESIDENT of the United States having required of the Executives of the several STATES, their respective proportions of One Hundred Thousand Militia, including Officers, to be organized, equipped, and held in readiness to march at a moments warning, for the necessary defence of the Country; of which number three thousand nine hundred and fifty six is the proportion of the State of New Hampshire, and that number being carefully apportioned by the Governor to the several Divisions of the Militia from the last general return of the same, is made according to the annexed Schedule.

VERMONT LEGISLATURE.
The following ANSWER to the Governor's Speech, is said to have passed the House of Representatives on Friday, the 28th ult. by a handsome majority.
PERMIT the General Assembly to assure your Excellency, that the person who is invited, by the suffrages of a free people, to preside over us as our chief Magistrate, will always be entitled to our esteem and respect.—And while, with you, we are sensible that no man can expect to retire from public life without censure, we cannot but express our desire, that among the rulers of the earth, your administration may prove the least exceptionable.
We agree with your Excellency, (and we do not wish to have it concealed) that the civil and political interests of our constituents have been considerably affected by a late law of the General Government. And while, with you we regret that the character of any of our citizens should be stained by the conduct of a few avaricious, self-interested, and designing men.—We still more regret, that neither the conduct of belligerent Europe, from the year 1793 to 1808, in the infringements of neutral commerce, imprisonment and murder of our seamen, nor the united patriotism of Americans could induce a strict observance of a law on which depended the honor, the independence, and tranquility of the American nation, and which was wisely laid without limitation, by which foreign nations were taught that the repeal of the law depended on the removal of the causes which produced it.
We cannot but consider the law alluded to, as necessarily inflicting on our country severe privations, while the measures employed to enforce it, cannot fail to create considerable expense.—Yet we feel a dignified pleasure, that this, the only practicable measure that could have averted the dangers and horrors of war, with one or more of the contending nations of Europe, has been cheerfully submitted to by every well-informed and well-disposed citizen.—And that the great body of our fellow-citizens of this and the United States, unite, with us as well in our consolation and pleasures as in our unavoidable privations.
Under these impressions, we cannot but deeply lament, that among the people of our own country generally accustomed to honest industry, and blessed with a government, which as long as prudence and safety dictated, permitted them to vend the fruits of their labor and honest enterprise for their own comfort and emolument, there should any be found so destitute of patriotism as to attempt, for the requisitions of wealth or some more reprehensible object, not only by fraud but in open defiance of the laws, to defeat their wholesome provisions, or by their treasonable opposition to the government of their choice, deprive their dutiful brethren of life, and expose themselves to an ignominious and untimely death. It is also, to be lamented that such a contempt for the civil authority should be manifested as to render a resort to the military force necessary.
We reciprocate the sentiment, that by the adoption of the late measures, a strong appeal has been made to our patriotism, a principle which we confidently believe sufficiently animates the hearts of a great majority of the American people, to prompt them to forego, present inconveniences, and thereby enforce their lasting and permanent interests. And although the prospects of the laborer are in some measure disappointed, we have the pleasing consolation that if the produce of our soil is prohibited from exportation for a season, it will in the end excite to the most useful and honorable enterprise, by diverting much unemployed capital in the establishment of home manufactures and the promotion of internal improvements.
We join with you, Sir, in the hope that the period is not far distant when the laws laying an embargo, may with prudence and safety be repealed; but believing that the good people of this state will cheerfully submit to any privation rather than submit to the impositions of France and England, we shall be the last to urge a repeal before it can be accomplished with-
out sacrificing the honor, or essential interests of our country.
Your Excellency may rest assured, that our endeavors will be united in enacting just and equal laws; and in our appointments to office, a strict regard will be paid to wisdom and virtue; and while we bellow our favors on the wise and prudent, we shall be careful to withhold them from those (if any there be) who violate and disregard the laws and constitution of their country.
Conformable to the sentiments of the patriotic Washington, and in concurrence with your recommendations, a careful and vigilant attention shall be paid to the interests of the militia, who for their fidelity, and promptitude in support of the laws will always claim our warmest gratitude.
With a faithful observance of those principles of economy which you have so justly recommended, the subject of the State Bank and State Prison, together with such other matters as you have or may hereafter communicate shall claim our early and assiduous attention.—And we cordially unite in reposing special reliance on the Great Parent of Nature, that our joint labors may be directed for the public good and be crowned with success.
Why is the embargo continued (say our federal wileacres) when a free trade is open to neutrals to Spain and Portugal? But do we possess the freedom of this trade? Are not the French decrees in operation against neutrals trading with those nations? We cannot suppose that Bonaparte will privilege any of his hostile enemies, and until the Spanish and Portuguese cease to act contrary to the interests of France, it is far from probable that he will neglect any of the means in his power to cut off the benefits they would derive from the trade of neutrals. The answer to the query of the federalists is therefore plain and decisive. The same causes that produced the embargo will continue to exist, the unjust decrees of France and the no less pernicious British orders in council. For these causes, is the embargo continued—and until some relaxation in the rigors of those measures of the belligerents is manifested, we can discover nothing of national policy or interest that would warrant its removal.
But setting aside the operation of the decrees of the present enemy of Spain, what indulgence do the Spanish Juntas offer to our trade? None can be pointed out. Of the American vessels carried into the ports of Spain under the Milan decree, the latest accounts afford not a solitary instance of release; they are still detained for adjudication.
It is with the greatest difficulty that an eminent federal Merchant can be brought to say, he disapproves of the Embargo. Take him in private conversation; and nine times out of ten, he will acknowledge it a wise and prudent measure—the only one by which our property could be saved from plunder and the Nation from war. Yet this same man, in public, will denounce the Embargo as a curse to the land—he will patronize and circulate papers which vilify the Government for adopting it—he will be the most active in caucusing for the Election of men who would remove it, and pay tribute in its stead!
Upon such people as these, argument is lost.—They are either wilfully obtinate and corrupt or their party zeal wholly confounds their reason. Wig.
A correspondent at Washington, speaking of Mr Macon's resolutions says, the committee were to report on them last Saturday. The spirit of the nation seems rapidly to be rising, to overwhelm foreign influence, and put down the traitors who mask themselves under the equivocal designation of federalism. The exordium of that tried and veteran republican heated the blood of every honest American who heard him. The Tories and tory prints should make the most of their time for it is short. A line must soon be drawn between the friends and enemies of the country. Wig.
BOSTON, NOVEMBER 19. FROM MARTINIQUE.
Capt. Smith, arrived here on friday last from Martinique—left Moran the 23d Oct. Two days previous to his sailing, accounts were received there, that 14 sail of British vessels, and 8000 troops had arrived at Barbadoes. It was supposed their object was to attack Martinique. Provisions of every kind had risen 30 pr. cent at Martinique.
From St. DOMINGO—A gentleman who left Port-au-Prince, 1st Oct. informs, that internal warfare is still carried on in that Island between the rival chiefs, Pexion and Christophe;—The former marched from Port-au-Prince about the middle of Sept. with an army of 8000 men, to attack St. Marks and Cape-Francois, which were in possession of Christophe;—the last accounts left Pexion within a few miles of St. Marks, and several partial engagements had taken place.

POLITICAL.
From the Public Advertiser. FOR THE MINISTERIAL PAPERS IN ENGLAND.
American Politics. —We had expected to announce to our readers the receipt of some pleasing and satisfactory intelligence from America, by the packet lately arrived thence. It pains us to state that this expectation has been disappointed. The elections in several states of the American union took place in the months of September, October and November, and notwithstanding the most liberal distribution of the gold sent out by the States, and other vessels conveying dispatches to America, the old rebel party of the revolution have succeeded beyond their own most sanguine expectations. Every election was made in favor of "Old England" by her numerous agents, headed by Timothy Pickering—the man who did his majesty "such good service" during the contest between America and England, in the masked character of a rebel. But all would not do.
The rebels have, we fear, succeeded in electing their candidates in Massachusetts, whose election commenced in the early part of November, returns had not come to hand when the packet failed.
The rebels have been successful in Vermont, contrary to every calculation of our friends the Essex Junte , and of the ministry at home.
The rebels have succeeded in New Jersey by 5000 majority; in Pennsylvania by 30,000; in Maryland by 6 or 7000, notwithstanding their supineness and want of concert.
The rebels have triumphed in Virginia, in the proportion of twenty to one; in North Carolina, in the proportion of three to one; in South Carolina, in the proportion of ten to one; in Ohio, in the proportion of ten to one.
The rebels have carried in Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee, almost unanimously.
"Out upon it!—loss upon loss!—There are no groans but of our heaving, no tears but of our shedding."
The unfortunate result of these elections have rendered certain the election to the presidency of the rebel colonies, of that arch rebel James Madison , the man who has done more than any other, save Jefferson, to prevent the rebel colonies from returning to their allegiance. Great exertions have been made by our mercenaries to defeat the elevation of this inextinguishable and immovable whig, by means of publications in favor of Clinton and Monroe, but they have all been unavailing!
The whole number of American electors is 176—of these Madison is sure of
 6 from Vermont,  19 New York,  3 New Jersey,  20 Pennsylvania,  9 Maryland,  24 Virginia,  11 North Carolina,  10 South Carolina,  6 Georgia,  8 Kentucky,  5 Tennessee,  3 Ohio, 
129 47 is all that any other can possibly have.
82 MADISON'S Majority.
WORSE AND WORSE.
It was supposed that Connecticut had sufficiently disgraced herself by the display of a rebellious disposition; yet, in Massachusetts, the spirit of faction is still more turbulent. On the 15th inst. some rebelers passed the House of Representatives; and were concurred in by the Senate, prefaced with some paragraphs from which we extract these remarkable THREATS :—
"Every days experience justifies a belief that a continuance of the laws (the embargo laws) must soon become INTOLERABLE !"
"In fact, the evils menaced by the continuance of this policy (the embargo) are so enormous and deplorable; the suspension of commerce is so contrary to the habits of our people, and so repugnant to their feelings and interests, that they must soon become INTOLERABLE and ENDANGER OUR DOMESTIC PEACE AND THE UNION OF THESE STATES !"
If Congress shall sleep over such unchristian and deplorable proceedings, they will find much evil imputed to their false security.—But, they will not sleep.—They will put an end to such vile threats, by providing a punishment for treason , which shall nip it, in the bud. Our Constitution allows men peaceably to assemble and petition, but it does not allow them to threaten a dissolution of the Union. This is treason in embryo; and there are portentous symptoms of speedy parturition. Nothing prevents it a day, but fear of the baltor! [ Amer. Mer. ]
The federalists boast of possessing an enormous proportion of riches—if this be true they are exceedingly uncharitable. They represent the people to be in a 'suffering' state—famine staring them in the face and distress on every side—Numbers are said to be even now starving!—yet not a single penny comes from their pockets—we might all starve for what they care. Rare virtue! [ Essex J. ]
National Legislature.
TENTH CONGRESS—SECOND SESSION. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday Nov. 11.—Mr Jackson, elected from the state of Rhode-Island vice Nehemiah Knight, deceased, appeared and took his seat.
BRITISH AND FRENCH ORDERS AND DECREES.
Mr Burwell, offered the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the President of the U. States be requested to lay before this House copies of the act or acts of the Parliament of Great Britain carrying the orders in council of the 11th Nov. 1807, into effect; and also an act placing the commerce of America in English ports upon the footing of the most favored nation."
Mr B. said he had never met with the documents here referred to. He thought it very important that they should be before the House and the nation that they might know precisely the duties imposed on American commerce; and particularly that they ought to have a copy of the act placing this country on the footing of the most favored nation, that it might be seen, in carrying their own produce to Great Britain, what immense advantage was given to America. If he was not mistaken such was the advantage that the British merchant might pay double the freight for American produce to be exported in British vessels to England, which an American merchant would, and yet reap double the profit to be made on the same produce if carried in American vessels. It was in this view he thought the production of these papers important, and to have considerable bearing on the question of our foreign relations, which had been made the order of the day for Monday next.
Mr G. W. Campbell said he was willing to see all the acts alluded to; but he believed they were so numerous and so contradictory in their nature, that it would require all the skill and ingenuity of the House to discover the extent of their operation or to define what would be the practice under them.
Mr Burwell's resolution was adopted without a division; but a short time afterwards rescinded on motion of Mr Macon, seconded, by Mr Quincy, with the consent of Mr Burwell, and the following resolution adopted, giving more latitude to the call for papers:
"Resolved, That the President of the U. States be requested to lay before this House copies of all acts, decrees, orders and proclamations affecting the commercial rights of neutral nations, issued or enacted by Great Britain and France, or any other belligerent power since the year 1791; and also an act placing the commerce of America in English ports upon the footing of the most favored nations."
In advocating the above resolution, Mr Quincy expressed his wish to have all these papers, that it might be clearly understood which power had commenced the system of violations of neutral commerce.
Messrs Burwell and Cutts were appointed a committee to wait on the President with the above resolution.
EMBARGO LAWS.
Mr J. G. Jackson said, in order to meet the proposition of the gentleman from Vermont (Mr Chittenden) of yesterday, he would offer to the House these resolutions;
"Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for more effectually carrying into execution the several embargo laws."
"Resolved, That no vessel shall be allowed to depart from one port to another of the U. States that does not with her cargo wholly belong to a citizen or citizens of the United States, and be navigated solely by citizens thereof."
Mr Jackson said, it was not his purpose now to discuss the propriety of their adoption or the principles contained in them; but he moved their reference to the same committee to whom was referred the resolution for repealing the embargo laws, which was agreed to.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
On motion of Mr G. W. Campbell, the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the state of the union, Mr Macon in the chair.
Mr Campbell, after observing that it appeared proper that the several subjects contained in the President's message should be referred to the consideration of committees, offered the following resolutions, which were severally agreed to in committee of the whole without a division, and concurred in by the House.
1. Resolved, that so much of the message of the President of the U. States, as relates to our relations to foreign powers, be referred to a select committee.
2. Resolved, that so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to fortifications for the security of the seaport towns and harbors, be referred to a select committee.
3. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to our military and naval establishments, be referred to a select committee.
4. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to revising and improving the militia system of the U. States, be referred to a select committee.
5. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to the disposition of the surplusage of our revenue, as improvements of roads, and canals, and rivers, be referred to a select committee.
6. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States as relates to encouraging and promoting internal manufactures, be referred to the committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
7. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to our finances, be referred to the committee of Ways and Means.
Monday, Nov. 14.—The following gentlemen are appointed on the different committees on the subjects comprised in the President's message.
On the subject of our relations with foreign powers, Messrs. G. W. Campbell, Nicholas, Munford, Fisk, Champion, J. Montgomery, Bacon, Taylor, and Porter.
On the subject of fortifications, Messrs. Blount, Burwell, Cook, Goldsborough, Riker, J. K. Smith, and Truett.
On the subject of our military and naval establishments, Messrs. Nelson, Dawson, Tallmadge, Howard, Borer, Butler, and Shaw.
On the subject of revising and improving the militia system, Messrs. Macon, Clay, Findley, Durell, Cutts, Sturges and Johnson.
On the subject of the disposition of the surplusage of the revenue, to internal improvements, &c. Messrs. Randolph, Quincy, Brown, Kirkpatrick, Lambert, Sawyer and Desha.
Execution and evasions of the Embargo Laws.
Mr Elliott's resolution calling for information on these subjects, was taken up and agreed to, without opposition.
SEAMEN.
Mr Newton observed that by law the President could not employ more than 1400 seamen, eleven or twelve hundred of which were in actual service.
Mr Burwell, from the committee appointed to wait upon the President to request information respecting the orders, decrees, &c. of the belligerent powers against neutral commerce, reported that the committee had performed that service, and received for answer that he would comply with the request of the House as soon as possible.
REVENUE CUTTERS.
The following resolution was proposed by Mr Blackledge, and adopted:—
"Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of authorizing the President of the U. States to employ an additional number of revenue cutters, and that they report by bill or otherwise."
Tuesday, Nov. 15.—Mr Sawyer begged leave to add one more resolution to those already before the House on the subject of the Embargo.
"Resolved, That it is expedient for the U. States to open a communication and trade with the West Indies generally."
Mr S. said he thought the present resolution would be found, when they were all taken up and examined by the House, the least liable to exceptions of any. For he could not go so far with trade as to vote for the resolutions of the gentleman from Vermont, in favor of an indiscriminate repeal of the whole Embargo system; neither could he go so far against it as to support those of the gentleman from Virginia for a total non-intercourse.
The resolution was referred to the committee of the whole, to whom several resolutions on the same subject have been referred.
MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
Wednesday Nov. 16.—Mr McCrery presented the petition of thirty six American citizens confined at Carthagena, in South America, under sentence of slavery. The petition is dated from the vaults of St. Clara, Carthagena, Sept. 16, 1808. The petitioners state that they were brought from New York in a fraudulent manner, in the armed ship Leander , Thomas Lewis commander, on the 2d of February, 1806, together with many other citizens; they detail the sufferings they have undergone; and state that they feel confident, from the justness of their claim to the interference and protection of the constituted authorities of their country, that measures will be adopted to restore them to liberty.
This petition was referred to a committee consisting of five members.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Mr Chittenden called for the order of the day on his resolution on the subject of the Embargo.
Mr Smilie thought, from the commencement of this business, they had taken an irregular course. In his opinion all the resolutions on this subject should have been referred to the committee on that part of the message of the President of the U. S. relating to foreign relations. And to get at this object he moved to discharge the committee of the whole from the consideration of those resolutions.
The Speaker informed Mr Smilie that the motion could not be received while another was pending.
On the question to take up the order of the day, it was negatived—Ayes 31.
Mr Cook said he could not discern any disposition in the House to submit to the orders and decrees of Britain and France, and as the resolutions which had been offered did not precisely meet his ideas, he begged leave to submit another:
"Resolved, That the act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. S. and the several acts supplementary thereto, be repealed, so far as to permit the vessels of the U. S. to depart with their cargoes for those countries not subject to the decrees of France, nor the orders of the British council; and
That the citizens of the U. S. be authorized by law to arm and equip their merchant vessels for the purpose of defending them against French and British cruisers who may molest or attack them when bound to any port or place not actually invaded or blockaded."
On the suggestion of Mr Elliot, the Speaker observed that the first clause of the resolution had been moved by Mr Mumford, and was already before the House.
The second clause was then referred to the same committee to whom resolutions on the same subject have been referred.
EMBARGO.
Thursday Nov. 17.—Mr Livermore said he held in his hand several petitions from inhabitants of the state of Massachusetts, signed by between 4 and 5000 persons praying for a repeal of the embargo laws.
One of the petitions (from Newburyport) was read.
They were all referred, without opposition, to the committee to whom several resolutions on the same subject have been referred.
Mr Livermore moved that the petition be printed—Negatived, 17 only rising in favor of it.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Mr Macon said, already had many resolutions been submitted to the consideration of the House on the subject of our foreign relations, and the embargo; some for a total and some for a partial repeal of it. As none of the motions have met his entire approbation and as he considered this as one of the most important questions that could come before the House, he wished to submit to the House two or three propositions; which he wished to take a course different from that which had been given to the others on the same subject.
I have been astonished (said Mr M) to see so many resolutions on the subject of the embargo, and none contemplating its entire continuance. Is the American nation ready to bow the neck? Are we ready to submit to be taxed by Great Britain and France as if we were their colonies? Where is that
spirit which for this reason separated us from the nations of Europe? Where is that spirit which enforced a simple restoration of the old Congress not then binding upon the people as a law from heaven? Is it extinct? Is it lost to this nation? Has the love of Gain superceded every other motive in the breasts of Americans? Shall the majority govern, or shall a few wicked and abandoned men drive this nation from the ground it has taken? Is it come to this, that a law constitutionally enacted, even after a formal decision in favor of its constitutionality, cannot be enforced? Shall the nation give way to an opposition of a few, and those the most profligate part of the community? I think the stand we took last year was a proper one; and I am for taking every measure for enabling the nation to maintain it. Just as our measure is beginning to operate, just as provisions are becoming scarce in the West Indies and elsewhere, notwithstanding the evasions of our law, we are called upon to repeal it. I should not have made this motion at this time had it not been for the petition just presented. When I stand here, sir, charged by a part of the community with being one of "the enemies of the people," notwithstanding I am willing to commit the petition, treating it with that respect which I conceive to be due from us to the prayer of any portion of the people, I feel with my sentiments on this subject to be seen.
A proclamation had been issued by one of the belligerents since the passage of our embargo law, sir. Look at it. What says it? Clearance or no clearance, we will receive any neutral vessels into our ports; and, in speaking of neutrals, recollect that there is no nation in the civilized world that has a claim to the title except ourselves. This proclamation then tells our citizens "Evade the laws of your country, and we will receive and protect you." This is the plain English of it.
If the mad powers of Europe had entered into compact to injure us as much as they could, they could not have taken a more direct course to it. I consider them both alike, and the measures I would take would place them both on the same footing. I have made my resolutions as general as possible, to give all latitude to the committee.
Mr M then read his resolutions as follows;
"Resolved, That the committee appointed on that part of the President's message which relates to our foreign relations, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of excluding by law from the ports, harbors and waters of the U. S. all armed ships and vessels belonging to any of the belligerent powers, having in force orders or decrees violating the lawful commerce of the U. S. as a nation."
"Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law the admission into the ports, harbors and waters of the U. S. any ship or vessel belonging to or coming from any place in the possession of any of the above-mentioned powers and also the importation of any goods, wares and merchandise the growth, produce and manufacture of the dominions of any of the said powers."
"Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of amending the act laying an embargo and the several acts supplementary and additional thereto."
On the subject of the first of these resolutions (said Mr M) it might be proper to interdict the entrance of all armed vessels although I have confined the interdiction to the belligerents. A certain time might be fixed at which the second should go into operation.
I have thought proper, sir, to bring forward all these resolutions together, to show my own opinion on what ought to be done. It is time for those who think the embargo a lawful and proper measure to come forward and declare it. No other person having as yet thought proper to do it, I have now done it, I believe the embargo was right; that it was right to pass laws to enforce it; and believing this, I feel no hesitation in avowing it. Time has been when the improvement of our seamen was cried out against by a large majority of Congress. Now the cry is, that we will not let them go out and be taken. For if they go out they must be taken: neither of the two great powers of Europe have shown the least disposition to relax their measures; neither I hope shall we. I believe we have but three alternatives—WAR, EMBARGO, or Submission. The last I discard; this nation never will submit; nor are there many people in it that would. That out of the question, then, the only question is, whether in the present state of the world, the embargo or war is the best for us. Arm your merchantmen, as has been proposed, send them out, and you have war directly. If we are to have war, I should rather have it openly, and let the nation know that we mean it. I am for the embargo yet. I am told flour is from 30 to 50 dollars a barrel in the West Indies; I am also told that wheat is 14 shillings sterling a bushel in England. This must have an effect if adhered to, through Spain and Portugal. France if she carries her armies into that country cannot support them. Nor can Spain support her own armies, and at the same time those Great Britain sends there; for when war is waged, almost all agriculture is destroyed; and it only requires firmness in us to force them both by this measure to acknowledge our rights. If I am mistaken in my opinion, I wish that measure to be adopted which may best maintain our rights and independence.
It is not the embargo which causes the pressure on the people, No, sir; it is the orders and decrees of England and France. Take a licence from England, and you may trade, but on no other terms. Let an officer of the British fleet visit your vessel, and France will condemn it. These are the things which destroy commerce. The country in which I live feels the measure as much as any; they are agriculturalists, and their crops remain unsold; and if they will do without the principle, and resist imposition by withholding their produce, those who make a profit by the freight of our produce, may afford to lose that profit. Can any man tell what would be the consequence of war, in these times? In common war some regard is had to the laws of nations by belligerents, and they fight each other. In the present war the belligerents disregard the laws of nations, and fight every one but one another.
Mr M concluded by saying that he was aware that he had said nothing new, nor could any thing new be said. The documents published at the last session, and those
published now, put the subject in so complete a point of view, that it was impossible to add light to them.
The first and second resolutions offered by Mr Macon were agreed to without a division. The third was ordered to lie on the table, ayes 78.
SHOT-MANUFACTORY.
Mr Say presented a memorial from sundry persons in the city of Philadelphia stating that they have at great labour and expense erected a manufactory of shot; and praying that, to encourage the domestic manufacture, a duty be laid on all imported shot—Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
From the HAVANNA.
By the ship Spartan , arrived at Baltimore from the Havanna, we learn that a convoy of 50 sail of English were moments expected from London.—The ship Conet , Dixey , from Philadelphia, arrived there in distress, pumps continually at work. She was condemned as unserviceable. Her cargo sold for about 73,000 dollars. Without undergoing any material repairs, she took a cargo for Old Spain.—She belongs to Daniel Clark of New Orleans, to which place she was ostensibly bound. The Lorenzo , ship of the line, was to sail as a convoy for Old Spain about the 4th inst. Flour from 50 to 55 dollars per bbl. The ship Boyne , and other ships from Charleston, had just arrived. The Spaniards from much exasperated against us on account of the embargo.
Salem, November 19.
Arrived at Marblehead on Thursday, 13th inst the Isle  Perseverance , Philip White master, from a fishing voyage, who states, that in lat 43 00, and lon 62 40, he was boarded by the master of an English brig, Wm Higgins , master, from St. Vincents bound to England—but had slipped a sea and was then bound to the first English port in America. Captain Higgins informed Captain White that on account of the embargo in America, provisions are very high at St. Vincents—bread was selling at 20 dollars per hundred. He thought that if the embargo in America continued, that the situation of the inhabitants, in all the English Islands would be very distressing. He further stated, that the common people in England are friendly disposed towards the people of America, and that many of them are made to believe that the inhabitants of the United States are a divided people by the American papers which are unfriendly to government and which are very numerously distributed in England—in consequence of which they expect that the American government will be obliged to raise the Embargo, or that a Division of the States will soon take place.
On Wednesday night last a Schooner without papers and without a name was taken near Squam in attempting to evade the Embargo laws. She was loaded with flour, beef, butter, and other articles, to the amount of about 6000 dollars—and had on board about 50 men, who were apparently determined to force her out to sea—but the officer whose duty it was to be upon the look-out, took possession of her (four miles from the Bar) with 11 men, after firing two shots from a twivel. She has been sent to the Navy-Yavy in Charlestown. How patriotic some people are in thus giving their property to support government—"in these Embargo times!"
British outrage & murder!
By several gentlemen from the Eastward, we learn that a British armed Schooner landed a number of men on an island near Castine, (Maine) where a quantity of Flour had been deposited, over which a guard was placed by the Collector. The Englishmen fired upon the guard, KILLED one man, by the name of LAURENS, and sunk him in the stream; took another prisoner and carried off the Flour!—Upon information given to the Collector, he employed a vessel and a number of Volunteers, who failed in pursuit of the Englishmen, and found them at anchor in Fox Island-thorofare, (so called.) The Englishmen instantly cut their cables and crowded all sail; but were soon overhauled, vessel and crew taken, and carried to Castine—where they were under examination on Friday last, when our informant left that place.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, residing on Niagara River, to the Editor of the Canadaguian Mr. Jeniger, dated October 18, 1808.
"On the night of the 11th instant, an armed force of from 15 to 20 men came across the river from Canada to Lewiston, and broke open the warehouse belonging to and occupied by Porter Barton and Co. took a man who lodged in the store, bound, gagged and placed a fentry over him; and also placed sentries at the cabin doors of the two vessels lying at the wharf. They then proceeding to take out of the store and put on board of the boats, a large quantity of goods, which a few days before had been deposited in the store, as in the custody of the collector of the U. S. Mr. Lee. Whilst this business was going on, the fentry placed over the person who lodged in the store, held a pistol presented to his breast, and threatened in case he made the least noise, to blow him through; at the same time regretting that Mr. Lee, the collector, was not in their power, in which case a ball should be put through him. The person who lodged in the store was a deputy to the collector."
"The next morning after, Mr Barton went across the river to Queenston, and found the goods on the king's wharf under a guard of the king's soldiers, and Mr Barton was forbidden landing at the wharf."
"Such a state of facts needs no comment."
BRITISH FRIENDSHIP!

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1808.
IMPORTANT—From Washington.
The Committee to whom was referred so much of the Message of the President of the U. States, of the 8th inst.
1. Resolved, That the United States cannot, without a sacrifice of their rights, honor and independence submit to the late edicts of Great Britain and France.
2. Resolved, That it is expedient to prohibit, by law, the admission into the ports of the United States of all public or private, armed or unarmed ships or vessels belonging to Great Britain or France, or to any other of the belligerent powers, having in force orders or decrees violating the lawful commerce and neutral rights of the United States; and also the importation of any goods, wares or merchandise, the growth, produce or manufacture of the dominions of any of the said powers, or imported from any place in the possession of either.
3. Resolved, That measures ought to be immediately taken for placing the country in a more complete state of defence.
Embargo—Last Monday the Senate of the U. States were engaged, according to order, in the consideration of Mr. Hillhouse's resolution for the repeal of the embargo laws.
To make room for the highly interesting proceedings of Congress, we have excluded many original articles. It is our intention to lay before our readers as much Congressional information during the present session, as can be allowed by our limits, and the necessity of inserting such other important matter as may come to hand.
The National Legislature has assembled at a crisis that must call forth all its energy and patriotic resolution.
The Oppositionists have commenced anew their system of vexation and embarrassment. By talking they are determined to prevent the majority from acting.
Whether the embargo will eventually be raised and a Non-intercourse or War preferred, is still a subject of much conjecture.
A new draft of the militia is called for—This measure causes much anxiety among the Tories. They are afraid that Government intends to prevent them from carrying their threats into execution.
The federalists ever act in so dark and deceitful a manner, that it is evident their views are wicked and designing. They are always making great pretensions to openness and fairness of conduct, but at the same time are plotting some mischief in secret.
A letter from a private gentleman at Washington says the Baltimore Whig, induces us to believe, that a NON-INTERCOURSE will be the result of our government; that our ministers will be recalled from England and France; that a general retrenchment of expenses will be made in the salaries of executive officers; and that during the non-intercourse many of the custom-house officers will be dispensed with.
DANGER, DANGER, DANGER.—Modern Patriotism will Destroy us.
Britain, with her associates in the opposition, has artfully accomplished the object of nearly dividing our country into two great parties ready to fall by the hands of each other, and has 30000 cut throats hastening from Halifax to complete the work of death.
Columbian Detector.
Strength of Parties, Notwithstanding it is a subject of regret, that our beloved country is so much divided by parties, at so awful and momentous a crisis; yet the friends to the present administration, the democratic republicans of the Union, have nothing to fear.
After Washington declined a re-election, the whole strength of parties was brought into contact, and the federalists with all their energies combined, obtained only two more electoral votes for their candidate for the office of chief magistrate than were given to Mr. Jefferson.
What is the division of parties now? Why federalism, which, but for the embargo would have sunk into insignificance and contempt, has by the lying, misstatements and deceptions used by its partisans, gained a temporary triumph in a few uninformed sections of the Union.
TORY OPINION
OF THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
A writer in the New York Herald, (Columbia) of the 8th ult. says: "In truth, I believe, there is not on the face of the earth, a government and a nation more corrupt and corrupted than that of the United States.
There are too many proofs any longer to entertain a doubt, but that, should the embargo be much longer continued, England will most severely suffer from a want of several most essential supplies.
We regret that we have it not in our power to insert the Governor's Speech in this day's Gazette.
