TIE EMBARGO WILL DE RAISED.

For seine weeks past immense speculations have
been made in articles usually exported to Great
Britain and her dependencies, to Spain and Portu-
gal and their dependencies, on a fair presumption
that the Embargo would be raised on the meeting
of Congress. This spirit of speculation has been
inereased (rem the consoling language of the pub-
lic papers printed under the eye of eur•Administra-
tiou, holding up the idea that all was going on
well between the Governments of Great Britain
and that of the United States. As yet, we have
seen nothing to discourage the speculations here
spoken of, though the arrisol of the Hope gives no
hopes of either England or Franey removing their
decrees against neutrals. Even if the Hope hod
brought positive news of the rescinding of the
British °niers in Council, which was a few days
since expected, our situation relative to the raising
of the Embargo would not, in our good opinion,
have been altered ; for though the prospect of its
bring raised would certainly have been more ap-
parent, in reality it would make no difference as to
the propriety of raising the Embargo ; for, sup-
pose the British Orders removed, we could send no
vessels to France, Holland, Italy, or the Baltic, or
any place under the domination of France. It is
therefore of no consequence to us, whether the
Orders in Council be rescinded or not.

lithe embargo is raised, it will he because the
first cause of laying it is removed, and because the
second cause never will be removed. To be more
explicit; the einoargo was laid, first, to get house
the proper), that wit. abroad. This object has been
far accomplished as it ever will be. The pro.
erty still abroad has been unwarrantably laid hold
of by Bonaparte and to. and there remains no
hope of recovering it. The first object of the
embargo is then accomplished. The second reason
for laying the embargo was, to humble the bellige-
rents, or to starve theta into compliance. As we
find, from ten months experience, that they never
can be starred or humbled, then of coarse this rea-
son for the embargo also fails. Neither France nor
England will be thefirsr its removing their decree*.
What then is more reasonable than to suppose, that
the embargo will be raised very soon after the
meeting of Congress? For our parts, we are asto-
nished that any man of common sense rim believe
For a moment, that the embargo sill continue.

Bebidvs the above, there are nutnerotts other rea-

osons for raising the embargo ; one of which is, that
the measure is a very unpopular one, as has been
evinced by the late elections. It may be said, with
' truth, that 14 at the time, it Was supposed that the
voting for • Democrat would be the cause Of conti-
ww;wg tho esisherso. there would not have been a
single Democratic Candidate returned in • single
town in the Union—ea unpopular is the embargo.
To close,our Cabinet, eat being unckangeable,will,
~and 341:s* raise the embargo. Therefore the pur-
..ehme of produce, the loading of ships, and the
'shipping of seamen, may go on without inter-
. naption.

.t 1 The followin; remarks es the dispatcher. received
from Pinckney, by the barque Richard, are copied
from Mr. Madison's //suitor. The reader is re-
' quested to cotitrast this language with that pub-
lisbcid in clesiaq. paper just previous to the termi-
nauosof..the Elections in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey ; at which time, this same Noitirear-man
endeavoured to convince his readers that there was
no doubt or a speedy settlement with Great Bri-
tain. This same fellow may now tell the truth, or
lie may lie--oue is as probable as the other. It is,
however, a fact. that by his lately holding up the
idea that the differences with England would soon
be adjusted, while it was considered by many to be
a base electioneering trick. thousands of others
commenced their commercial optitations, on an ex-
pectation of the Embargo being soon raised : who
will. if he maw tell the truth, be ruined. For such
conduct he deserves the public execration.
Government has received dispatches from Mr.
Pinckney, our Minister at London, of the date of
September 14. At that period he nod not received
the expected answer to his representations to the
Chateeravaamtr_

It would seem, from all we can kern, that the
Cabinet of St. James is resolved not to furnish its
reply, by which it shall commit itself with our
Government, either one way or the other, before
it is too late for the iutelligence to reach this
country previously to the termination of the presi-
dential election: And further, that Great Britaist is
influenced to such strange conduct, by the expect-
ation of an insurrection in the United States, which
she is led to believe will occur, from the supposition
that the people of this country will not submit to
the embargo, when the ports of Spain and Portugal
are known to be open to them. Aud this policy
Great Britain adheres to, note ithstandiog famine
is staring her in the face ! The citizens of Canted
America well kusw how to appreciate and how to
meet such conduct on the part of the Friglish. If
• forc:_ri power is to choose • President for us,
there it an end to independence.—(/rout The
