We give the following happy specimen of early education to our readers from the VIRGINIA HERALD, hoping they will consider themselves as deeply interested, in vindicating the character of the great Washington, and supporting the unalienable rights of their country at the approaching crisis, as the country of Washington which gave him birth. It is indeed hoped, that all America will consider themselves as also interested—Washington was here and lived for his country—His affectionate valedictory address embraces them all, and with a parent's fondness inculcates precepts equally interesting to all.
FROM THE VIRGINIA HERALD.
To the Freeholders of the District consisting of the Counties of Stafford, King George, Westmoreland, Richmond, Lancaster, and Northumberland.
"First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen."
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
DOES the name of the great and good Washington revive in your breasts those emotions of grateful veneration, which his presence and his deeds were wont to excite? Does the recollection of the battle of Trenton, the siege of Little York, and the many other radiant evidences of his greatness, awaken a love for the memory of that man, under whose auspices was achieved a revolution which placed us on the list of independent nations; which gave to us all the rights of sovereignty? Is the rich legacy of his wise and modest valedictory advice, bequeathed by an anxious father to his beloved sons, duly appreciated by those sons? If their effects forever lost; if national gratitude be not expunged from the vocabulary of national virtues; what must be that of the men who have for the last twenty years unceasingly devoted their tongues, their pens, and their purses, to the annihilation of blackening the name of the founder of our liberties, and fleeing from him the only reward he ever asked—the good opinion of his countrymen? Do you doubt those things, my friends? If so, read the (I had almost said impious) letter to the foreigner Mazzei, charging General Washington with being a corrupt traitor to those principles for the establishment of which he had fought and labored in the field and in the closet, by day and by night, for nearly one half of a long and active life. Americans! Virginians! people of the northern neck, of the county of Westmoreland, the parent soil of Washington, will you believe that this letter was written by the man who now styles himself your "exclusive friend?" The leader of a band whose dearest object is to blight the laurels which shade the tomb of Washington! Indeed my friends it is so, avowedly so. Do you want further proof of this spirit of unextinguishable envy towards the character of the man who has been justly styled "America's boast & the world's wonder?" Look at the insidious letter of praise and pecuniary reward to the Venal Callender, a wretched fugitive wretch, who was employed in this country, in Virginia! to write down by foul aspersion, the well earned fame of Washington, and others like Washington. If this does not suffice, peruse if you have patience, the cringing invitation to the more than impious Tom Paine, to take a passage in one of our national ships, and to come to this country for the purpose of continuing his "useful labor." What was that useful labor? Was it his mendacious assault on the character of Washington? No—my friends, that was as the dust in the balance, when compared with the more "useful labor" of reviling and deriding the character of whom? My pen recoils, and almost denies its office; my heart bleeds with anguish for my species; my soul revolts; my cheeks glow with shame for the man—not man—the savage—the worse than savage; the monster in the shape of man, the fiend who could deliberately assail the character of our Holy Saviour Jesus Christ. I can say no
more on this hateful subject; the brute lives and lives amongst us. He lives the abhorrence, the avoidance of every virtuous man and woman, whilst he continues to be caressed and encouraged in his beastly debaucheries by "the man of the people." One more instance of this ruthless animosity towards the immortal Washington, and I am done for the present. What hero of '76 is that whom we see strutting the streets of Philadelphia, arrayed in the honorable costume of the American uniform? Reader I blush whilst I tell it—this is no hero of '76—it is the renegado Irishman, William Duane, another miserable outcast, who received the ignominiously corporal punishment due to his dirty tricks at home, and who has been imported into this country to aid in the "useful labor of traducing Washington;" he has faithfully executed his task—he has cut Heroded Herod—he has, if possible, eclipsed his brother Paine in the goodly "labor." His reward is a lieutenant colonelcy in the army of the U. States! Let us discuss this subject, my fellow citizens; it is too humiliating, painfully humiliating, to be dwelt on by a patriotic mind. If the system which was pursued by our dear and lamented Washington; the system which covered him with glory, and gave character and wealth to his country; if that system be a good one, the opposite cannot be so. This is a position too self evidently obvious to be mistaken by the dullest faculty of discernment. As self evident is it that those who oppose this system in all its parts will for ever act against it.
And now my friends, allow me, once more, to beg your grave attention to the many considerations which ought to influence the suffrages you will shortly have occasion to give. The genius of the sainted Washington invokes you—awake from your lethargy—Federalists! Shake off your unparadisable apathy—profit by the active example of your antagonists—do as they do in all things consistent with truth and decency—show the people their true interests—tell them the truth—tell it them in a voice of thunder.

NO. IX.
THE British orders of council are not in principle, so destructive of our commerce as the Berlin Decree. The latter, by declaring all the dominions of Great Britain in a state of blockade, subjects to seizure and condemnation every vessel found trading with those dominions. It consequently prohibits our commerce with the British West Indies as well as with our territories in Europe. This is a circumstance of the more consequence, because the facilities for privateers which were furnished by the islands then under the control of France, enabled them to annoy to a great extent all vessels sailing in those seas.
The former leaves unmolested the whole trade between the colonies and the U. States. This is a difference of immense consequence. It also exempts from the penalties of the blockade, which is extended to all the European dominions of France and of her allies in war, those neutral vessels which touch at any port in England, and pay a small sum of money as the price of the exemption.
This relaxation of the rigor of the blockade, has given great offence in the United States. The irritation it has excited would certainly have been sufficiently provoked, had this universal blockade of the European dominions of the enemies of Great Britain been declared by her before those enemies had placed her dominions in the same state. Had she commenced this system, we ought to have felt against her the same indignation which the Berlin decree ought to have excited against France; and we ought to have resisted these orders with the same energy that ought to have been exerted in resisting the Berlin decree. But she did not commence it. And if the blockade can be justified, as a measure of retaliation, no relaxation of that blockade can add to its offensiveness.
England then has, in leaving open our trade to the colonies of her enemy, stopped far short of France in the hostile career into which both have entered.
There is a material difference between the extent of these measures, in another respect. The Berlin decree not only cuts off all intercourse between the United States and the dominions of Great Britain, but forbids a traffic in articles of the growth or manufacture of those dominions.
This extravagant prohibition is not retaliated.
It is then apparent that the orders of council are, in their letter and spirit, much less comprehensive than the decree, to retaliate which those orders were made.
A general blockade proclaimed by either of those powers suggests one observation
which can escape no person. That a belligerent has a right to blockade any port of his enemy is admitted. It is only required that he should, in fact, invest that port, so as to make the attempt to enter it dangerous. So immense is the naval power of England, that she can, in point of fact, invest at the same time a very great number of the ports of her enemy, while France is absolutely unable to station a blockading force at any port in the world. She dares not openly trust a fleet into any sea; and if her ships casually steal into the ocean, their safety depends on returning undiscovered. A blockading decree therefore by France is an outrage upon neutrals, for which no semblance of apology can be framed. It is an undisguised and shameless license to her privateers and cruizers to commit piracy on neutral vessels.
Although his Imperial Majesty commenced this depredating system, he sought not to restrain his rage at finding that his enemy followed his example, even at a distance. Although that enemy remained far behind him, he could not tolerate the attempt to retaliate on himself any portion of his own injustice. His resentments broke out in the Milan and Bayonne decrees, by which his outrages on the United States have been carried to extremities, which in fact amount to war. He subjects to capture and condemnation every American vessel which has even been visited by an English ship; or seizes all American vessels in his ports, or which his corsairs can bring in, and he sequesters all American property found on the water or on land, with the avowed purpose of confiscating it, if the United States do not declare war against England.
Language cannot heighten these enormities. The simple narrative can receive no increased coloring from those epithets which indignation would interweave with it. He must be dead to every American sentiment who does not feel for his insulted and disgraced country. If under those threats, the United States go to war with England, our independence is already but an empty name, and not even that will be long retained.
It has been shown, not only that France commenced this system of warfare on neutral rights, but that she has greatly outstripped her enemy in the flagitious course. The time will not be entirely misapplied, which is devoted to a comparison of the temper towards the United States, which these two nations have displayed, in this contest of violence.
Although the Berlin decree was an open and flagrant violation of the rights which were guaranteed to this country by a solemn treaty, as well as by the law of nations, yet no previous notification was given to the United States of the intended infraction of those rights; nor has any subsequent apology, so far as is publicly known, been made. Not only has the emperor of France treated us with this insulting neglect, but, in the style of a haughty master, offended that his mandates are not executed the instant they are issued, he adds to the chastisement by fresh injuries, and panickes our disobedience in delaying a declaration of war against Great Britain, by seizing all our property within his grasp; the confiscation of which, he plainly tells us, depends on our entering into the war he dictates.
What has been the style in which this contest has been conducted by England?
When the Berlin decree was issued, she expressed in decent terms, her confidence that the United States would not submit to this gross infraction of their rights; and at the same time gave the notice which the occasion required—that, as Britain was affected essentially by this violence practiced on neutral commerce, she would be compelled, in her own defence, to adopt measures of retaliation against her enemy, with respect to those nations who should unresistingly permit this decree to go into operation. When afterwards, those measures were adopted, they were communicated to the U. States in terms of expressive regret for the necessity which caused them, and of the readiness with which they would be discontinued when that necessity should cease.
Britain then would not have applied her orders to the United States, had they taken measures to prevent her enemy from the unlawful use of their commerce, as an instrument of war against her. She would not now so apply them if they would take such measures. And she will revoke them the instant France shall discontinue the system commenced by that power.
But will France recall the Berlin decree, should Britain annul the orders of council? She has never said so, and we know she will not. The Berlin decree having preceded the orders of council, was not produced by them, and does not depend on them—Britain then wishes, but France refuses, to discontinue this system of aggression.
After this brief and hasty sketch of the conduct of the two belligerent powers to-
words the United States, let us restore our eyes to ourselves, and examine the impression they have respectively made on us.
Towards Britain a high degree of resentment has been manifested; a determination to resist her encroachments has been avowed; and war, should she persist in her course, is the language of all the ministerial circles.
Do we exhibit towards France a similar temper? Has the usurpation of Bonaparte of sovereign power over the U. States, directing the course of our whole external commerce, in deciding for us the all important question of peace or war, in seizing our property within his grasp, and declaring that its confiscation depends on our entering into the war he orders, produced one indignant, one manly sentiment in the bosom of our rulers?
With inexpressible mortification must very genuine American answer—none. Instead of those feelings, and that energetic system which the occasion so loudly demands; which a really independent nation could not fail to exhibit, we are endeavoring to turn aside the wrath of the conqueror by obedience. We are endeavoring to prepare the public mind for the war he directs.
The Genius of America seems to tremble and humble itself before that of France. We receive, with humility and without a murmur, the stripes which his imperial majesty pleases to inflict. We dare not even writhe under the lash. With smiles we kiss the hand that scourges us, and lick the dust that treads upon us.
At length in an important part of the Union, the spirit of independence seems to revive. A light dawns in the East, and gladdens the American bosom with the hope, that the inestimable rights of self government will soon be surrendered without a struggle. The people of New England are awake; and have in some slight degree, shown at their elections a disposition, like the people of Spain, to assert their rights which their government seems unwilling to maintain.
Should this spirit extend itself, it may avert the dangers which threaten us. France has a minister at Washington, and this portentous change may be communicated to his imperial majesty, who will be careful, while Britain maintains her ascendancy on the ocean, not to drive the United States to desperation.
SENEX
From the American Citizen.
THE EMBARGO.—I have promised to notice the subject of the embargo upon the grounds assigned for it in that message of the president in which he recommends the measure, and I will now perform my promise. It shall be treated, however, with candor and brevity.
Various opinions are entertained respecting the object of the embargo. Not knowing what is, one man believes it to be one thing and another, the reverse. With this diversity, I wish the reader distinctly to understand I will not meddle in this paper. Knowing the President to be an honest man and a gentleman. I will take him at his word. He shall state the object himself, and it will then be in order to enquire whether or no he has recommended the means best calculated to accomplish it.
The message of the President, of December 18, 1807, recommending the embargo is in the following words:
"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 U. States."
In the answer of the President to the address of the New Hampshire legislature, the object of the embargo, as stated in the message, is re-enumerated. In this document the President says:
"In this state of things, our first duty was to withdraw our seafaring citizens and property from abroad, and to keep at home resources so valuable at all times, and so essential, if resort must ultimately be had to force."
* But as I may make some remarks which may not be pleasant to the mind unaccustomed to thinking, nor to the ear unused to truth, I must express my regret that they may give occasion to our city wits for a fresh denunciation. To smother truth by violence, is undoubtedly the only way to preserve freedom. That the denouncers, in again assembling, will be put to a little fatigue, is certain, but what patriot cares for that when the safety of the nation is at stake? In consistency has John Milton a parallel? In well doing is he near tired?

It then appears that the object of the embargo is not precautionary; to save our Seamen, Our Vessels, and Our Produce from capture and condemnation. There could have been no other object, since there is no other named. We must reject every imputation of a "language official and a language confidential."  OF THE SEAMEN.  The sailors who were in our ports when the embargo was laid, as well as those who have successively come into them since, have been thrown out of employment by the measure. Every body knows that to day this laborious, useful, and improvident class of our citizens, have no provision for to-morrow. How then were they to live? Were we to keep them at home as a resource at all times so valuable, and so essential, if resort must ultimately be had to force? As they were thus avowedly thrown out of employment for national purposes, was it not obligatory upon the government to make provision for them?  But no provision was made. An ill timed recurrence to a hard hearted economy prevented it. The policy of keeping them at home for the nation's use in whatever events might happen, which was specifically one of the objects of the embargo, was immediately forgotten. National humanity itself was, in this great instance, disregarded? The seamen were cast on shore, and by a national act, reduced to the hard necessity of either perishing of hunger, or of deserting their country! The choice was dreadful, but obvious. They deserted their country. They flew to the British fleet for bread! They are gone! What prudence! What sagacity!—Was the object assigned real? Were the seamen to be kept at home? If they were, why not do that which was necessary to the end? If the embargo were at this moment removed, what should we do for sailors for our merchantmen! Probably there is not one thousand in the United States. Gov. Clinton advised that they should be taken into pay, and employed promptly and liberally, in the defence of our ports and harbors; but his advice was disregarded. It would have cost some money. It would have kept the seamen at home.  With regard to the Seamen, the embargo has not, as is evident, even as a precautionary act, answered the end stated in the message recommending the measure. Let us pass to our
SHIPS, Which were also to be saved by the Embargo.  Assertion. If every one of our merchant vessels had been captured, condemned, and destructively lost, the loss to the nation would have been less than that which it has sustained by the embargo.  Proof. There is no likelihood that the embargo will be removed before next December; nor even then, unless Congress, in opposition to the wishes of the President and his intended successor, should remove it. In next December, it will have been suffered one year—that's all!"  The exports of the native produce of the United States for 1807, of our soil & sea, as reported by Mr. Gallatin at the last session of Congress, amounted to $ 48,500,000  The revenue for the same year was $ 16,000,000  For 1806, 14,000,000  For 1805, 12,000,000  For 1804, 10,000,000  As the revenue has increased with the encrease of our population, we may presume, and Mr. Gallatin calculates, that if the embargo had not been laid, the revenue for the year 1808, would in all probability have been eighteen millions of dollars. The whole of the revenue during this suffering year will be lost, but we may conclude that five-sixths of it will. The loss of revenue by the embargo, may safely be estimated at $ 14,000,000  Total—Loss $ 62,500,000  Our tonnage, exclusive of coasting, is about a million. The price of a merchant ship is fifty dollars a ton. The cost of the whole of our tonnage therefore, is 50,000,000  Gain, if every one of our ships had been captured, condemned, and forever gone from us. $ 12,500,000  The embargo does indeed save our seamen and our ships! Our seamen, with very trifling exceptions, have been driven into foreign service; and if by violence upon the ocean all our ships had been taken from us we should have been gainers, in comparison of the loss which we have suffered by the embargo. So much for the embargo as a permanent precautionary measure!  As to our produce, if the government was afraid of losing that, there was an obvious remedy without suffering the deadly disease of a permanent embargo.
Our produce, it was said, was exposed to capture and condemnation; and that it might not fall into the hands of the belligerent powers, we wisely ordered that it should perish on our hands. This was to save it! An Irish parliament might have done all this in character.  But our produce might have been carried away without the risk of a cent. If foreign nations had been allowed they would have come to our wharves and bought it of us. We should have run no risk. It is no answer to say that as the belly of John Bull would not in this case have been pinched nor the nation coerced, the object of the embargo would not have been attained, for this would be to travel out of the Message of the President. No such object is assigned by him. He recommends the embargo as a measure of precaution, and as such I have concisely examined it. If, however the Madisonians would be gratified by an examination of the embargo as a coercive measure, I may undertake it. To me nothing is more clear than that it is inefficient. As I have often remarked, it cannot essentially injure any nation but our own.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.  SALEM, Sept. 23.  DISTRICT COURT. —The session still continues. We mentioned in our last, that the argument on the unconstitutionality of the embargo laws had been begun by Mr. Prescott. On Tuesday morning Mr. Dexter followed on the same side. In the afternoon Mr. Francis Blake, and on Wednesday morning Mr. George Blake, on the part of the government. In the afternoon Mr. Prescott answered to such new matter as had been introduced by the attorney for the government; who, in reply again to Mr. Prescott, closed the argument. It now remains for the judge to give his opinion.—During this long discussion, the hall was crowded, and the anxious assembly listened with the most profound attention to the arguments, in which great knowledge, ingenuity and eloquence were displayed.  We had intended to have given, in our paper, a view of the arguments on this most important question; but, from their length, we concluded to publish them more fully in a pamphlet, as soon as the matter can be arranged.
NEW YORK, September 26.  Latest Foreign News.  The ship Elizabeth, captain Rea, arrived at this port yesterday in 42 days from Londonderry; and capt. R. has politely favored the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with Irish papers to the 9th of August, and London papers of the 3d, which are six days later than any previous advices from that quarter. The intelligence they contain relates principally to the success or defeats of the Spanish Patriots, and to the great armaments fitting out in England for their assistance; our selections, therefore, are from necessity almost wholly confined to these subjects.  From Irish and English papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the ship Elizabeth.  LONDON, July 30.  Extract from the Porte Journal, "The Loyal Portuguese." Porto, 13th July.  MADRID, June 22.  "Within these few days 60 carts laden with wounded Frenchmen arrived in this city, in consequence of the insurrection in Andalusia. Castanos has 25,000 regular Spanish troops, and 6000 English. From Gibraltar every assistance has been afforded—all the Proclamations have been circulated in Spanish and French.  "The marquis of Canaveres, who commanded the cavalry under Echevarria, has been sentenced to be shot for disobedience of orders.  "The retreat of Moncey's army has been completely cut off. Gen. Lefebvre's army, composed of 11,000 men, was completely routed by Palafox; some corps of Catalans arrived in time to distinguish themselves. Murat is fortifying himself in the Padro; every thing announces his attempt to retreat.  "The brave Brigadier General D. Joaquin Blake has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General.  "The mournful silence of Bayonne announces the difficult situation of the great Emperor."  It is said, that the King of Morocco has offered to assist the Spaniards with a force of 80,000 men!!!  Letters have been received by two of the first mercantile houses in the city; the one positively asserting that Andreossy had quitted Vienna and the other that the Austrian ambassador has taken his departure from Paris.  We learn that the Eurydice frigate has
captured a French vessel, with dispatches on board for Buenos Ayres, and a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The prize with the dispatches, are on their way to Portsmouth.  We are happy to find, by the Gottenburg mail which arrived this morning that the disposition both of the people and government of Denmark towards this country has undergone a very material change. By the judicious management of Sir James Saumarez an agreement has been entered into with the government of Denmark for the exchange of prisoners, which has already been carried into effect. The prisoners taken on board the Prince Christian have been sent home to Denmark, and in return a number of British prisoners have been sent to Gottenburgh. They speak very highly of the reception they met with among the Danes, and state, that the French, though in the character of allies, treat Holstein as a conquered country; the Danish arms and ensigns have been taken down every where, and those of the French substituted in their room. The report of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between Russia and Austria, continues to gain ground.  August 1.  The Plover sloop of war has arrived with dispatches, from sir Arthur Wellesly. The expedition under the command of the gallant general was off cape Finisterre on the 22d July, proceeding for Oporto. The accounts which have got into circulation from the intelligence she brings, are not very satisfactory. The Portuguese patriots, it is stated, had been formed into an army consisting of 20,000 men, and had marched beyond Coimbra, in the province of Beira, but nothing further is remarked of their operations. A French detachment under Loison, consisting of 4,000 men, found it necessary, upon the approach of this army, to retire towards the main body, under the command of Junot at Lisbon.  We learn with much satisfaction, that yesterday the expedition under convoy of his majesty's ships Adaucius, Zebra, Eugene, and Brazen, cleared St. Helen's, with the wind at east, and we hope they will be enabled to work their way down the Channel. The transports that lately proceeded from Ramsgate are waiting to join them at Falmouth.  The Audacious has 500,000 dollars on board, as a military chest.  The embarkation of the fourth expedition has already commenced with the 15th dragoons at Gravesend. The brigade guards at Chatham, the 45th, 51st, and 87th, embark in the ensuing week.  It is said that in the 5th expedition, which is to combine a large force of artillery and much cavalry, the gallant offer of some of the militia regiments, will be accepted.  It would appear as if Murat had fallen into disgrace. He has left Bayonne for one of the little western places in French Navarre.
PHILADELPHIA, September 26.  INTERESTING. —By the mail of this morning, we have received from our correspondent at New Orleans, letters and papers to the 30th of August. They contain interesting accounts from Vera Cruz, the length of which prevents our inserting more than a brief summary in our paper of today.  The Danish schooner Henry arrived at New Orleans the 30th August from Vera Cruz, which place she left the 12th; by her information is received that on the 20th a vessel arrived at that port with dispatches and officers from Bonaparte, dated at Bayonne, announcing the abdication of the Spanish monarchy in his favor.  This intelligence occasioned the greatest consternation at Vera Cruz. The officers, civil and military, of the Spanish government, instantly resolved not to submit to the authority of Bonaparte. A meeting was immediately held, and a unanimous resolution entered into, to acknowledge no other master than Ferdinand the VIIth, and to resist to death the usurpation of his government. The same movements took place at Campeachy, on receiving the intelligence.  Mr. Cevallos, the port admiral of Vera Cruz was forced to abandon his post, and arrived at New Orleans in the Henry. The French commissioners were confined in the castle.
