T1ercla' people THIS object can never BE
effected The finger of Nature has pointed
our adventurous countIymeh, to CONNER
clai pursuits. Intersected with numerous
rivers, containing in their bosorns such vast
resources for commercial enterprise, and
possessing such an extensive sea-coast. the
United States never willabandon commerce.
We have looked in vain for some relief
from the pressure Of our sufferings. A CLEAN

surrounding gloom.

10 me Fre&deHt of the u. STATES.
THE inhabitants of the town of
Northyarmouth, in legal town-meeting
assembled,
RESPECTFULLY REPRESENT
That ardently attached to repubIi-
can form Of government, they are ever
willing to make the greatest sacrifices
to promote theinterest, assert the rights
and maintain the honor Of their coun-
try.
Possessing a soil not abuhdantly rich,
and partly dependant on Commerce for
the means Of subsistence, they severe
ly feel the effects Of the Embargo
The numerous restrictions on the coast
ing trade have added much to their en-
barrassments.
Fully sensible Of the importance and
necessity of maintaining the laws, they
dePrecate every violation Of the En-
barge, although they are ardently de-
sirous Of its removal.
They regard the events which have
recently taken place III Europe, with
the deepest interest Spain and Por-
tugal have asserted their Independence
with spirit, which deserves, if il does
not ensure success. The British gov
ornment having, in consequence or
these events, raised the blockade Of all
the ports Of Spain, except those which
are still in the possession, or under the
controul Of France, a lucrative source
ofcommerce is now opened to neutrals.
! They trust, that your excelEency will
embrace this opportunity to suspend
the Embargo, agreeably to the powers
with which you are vested by act Of
Congress.
Your Petitioners, therefore, pray
that the Embargo may be suspended,
in whole OF in part, agreeabIy to the
act above stated Or, If any doubt should
exist as to the sufIiciency Of those pow
ers, that Congress may be convened to
take the subject into consideration.
[Signed by the Committee
A committee ofnine was then appointed,
consisting Of the former committee, and
Nathan'L jerks, Richmond Loring, Samu-
ell York and EHphalet Greedy, to forward
the same to the President of the y. States.
