LEGISLATURE QF EIV-YORK—SATuitimr, Nov. s

Mr. &ILKLEY. of Madison, offered a Revolution,
for requestiug the Representatives of this State, in
;lie emigres* of the United States, to use their ea-
&swoon( to get the embargo laws repeoled.—Or-
deerd to lie On the table.
The Howe went into Committee of the whole,
on a Bill sent down from the Senate, which as.
stated to be of such importance as to detionid the
immediate atteution of the !loose. The two first
clause*, which related to the inspection oh flour its
the county of Kings, paved without &lime.
The third clause was then read, the object of
which was, to allow the expel tation of soar freq.
this State, which had been liiarLe4i 4. bad" by the
inspector,'
Mr. VAN VIiTCI.IIOI expre4seil his astonishment
at the introduction of sit It it cl.tto-e; mud, in a
few wonls, exposed its absurtity. lie contended,
that it would wholly defeat the object of our lasts
for the inspection of floor; that the character of
New-York flour was now high in foreigu markets,
owing to the severity of our inspection lowa ; but
that, if this provision prevailed, it would open the
door, okay, invite, to inautuenible impositions,
and tleuroy the credit cf the flour of this write.—
lie could discover no good reason for the measure.
A New-York Member. Mr. FAIILLIe, if we mis-
take not, undertook to explaio the object of this
clause. lie said, that iu consequence of the mer-
chants not beiug albeverl to export bad floor, the
tiitizetss of New-York were compelled to eat it—
that the bakers imposcdupou them, &e.
At length, sifter a little bo;:gling; anti hesitation,
the petition oa which the clause was groluded was
read—when, behold ! it appeared. that in conse-
quence of the embargo, large siontities of flour
haul vowed and spoiled iu New York ; and that if
the owners could be permitted to export it, they
might send it to Great Britain, where it might be
used by the manufacturers for starch !

Was there ever I Store striking picture of the
degradation of our country ? The embargo ass
laid to starve the British : and the noti-iiiiporta-
Sou act to ruin her usaaufactories. This has Leen
openly avowed by the democrats in the Lou' u of
Assembly, who have exultiagly referred tn. t►e
riots at Nlanchester, as a proof of the of eas of
these measures.--Now an application is made to
the legislature, by our own citizens. for permission
to export their deur. spoiled by thr embargo, for
the purpose of making starch for the use r.f the
very manufactiarers whom this embargo . was in-
tended to starve. Thus giving to the British the
same dour, at a reduced price, which, but for the
embargo, they would have parebaseil at our own
price. Surely, " the embargo tells," as The Re-
gister says.

Extract of a letter froiu Wit•hingtoii, to the
Editor ..f The Baltimore Whig, dated November
7, 1803 :

" It is of souse inrevrtance that you should know
that the l'rvAi,lent has commowled all the Cower-
nun. of the MlVeresit States to furnish their respec-
tive yo.mas of the 104,600 men, °Meted by the
act of the last session of Congress. It is not cer-
tain how long since the directions were issued, but
no longer since than list Friday. Dispatches were
received here on Saturday night—their contents
have not transpired. It is the general opinion that
much of the early busir.ese of the session will be
transacted with closed doors. In short, nothing
engages the attention of the citizens here more
than the onler which General 7.l:tson. as it is un-
derstood. his received to hold his men iu readiness
to march rut the shortest notice."

A Letter from Washing's:lm dated November 6,

mein to Great Britain to 1.11.114.1)11 the Embargo. if
they would remove the °niers ill Conned, nod that
they paid no attention to ti.e proposals." He fur-
ther remarked, that sr there sr eincil to be but three
modes left for us to purtue—A continuance of the
Etnlra►go. war, or submission. The last no .tines
rican can he so dastardly as to comply is i:h. To
fight. our great •President has sever shewn ally
strong predilection: therefore we may fai,ly infer
that the Embargo must be the derm4r resort.
From all the information I ran obtain, I have no
doubt this ',cleat sarasare is the.nne in contem-
