~ NO RELIEF!

THE motion which was brought for
ward in the Senate Of the U. S by Mr..
HILLHoUsE of Connecticut, for repeal
ing the embargo laws, has been MEGA
TIvED. All the democrats, with the
exception OF Mr. GILMAN, of ~ H..
voted against the resolution and all
the federalists voted for a repeal Of these
ruinous lAws.-So 7ve so.
Mr.. Camh5ePs resolve for prohibit
ing allintei course with England, France
and their colonies WAS ~till under -ecss-
sideration, and will undoubtedly pass
into law. The consequence of this
viii be, that merchants, Iat least many
Of them) will have to witness that waste
and destruction of property, which will
involve them in bankruptcy--the mar
iners will still be deprived of all en-
ployment, and compelled TO remain In
idleness, and expend the little property
they have acquired at much hazard and
fatigue--the artizdn may hang up his
tools TO rust in his shop, and think him
self fortunate if lie has enough in re-
serve, from his earnings in better times,
to support his fanily--the farmer, il
free from debt, has not SO much to fear
until the Tax-gatherer comes round
even he will hen feel the destruction Of
Commerce. But woe TO those who art
in debt and without money---a sheriff
and Jail awaits them And the day
laborer must make up his mind to soil
CIT Charity or starve.-Glorious times
these, III The eigth year of the reign o
democracy-Ta Mr.. Jefferson one,
used this idea, that people to be vir
tuous,. must be poor. If onr patriotic
rulers continue their present system o
policy, the citizens Of the U. States
notwithstanding their boosted hbertl
