legislature Of Mew- York.
SATURDAY, Nos. s.

Mr.. BuIklcy, of Madison, offered re-
solution, for requesting the representatives
Of this state in the congress of the United
States, to use their endeavors to get the en-
barge laws repealed ordered to lie on the
table.
The house went into committee OF the
whole, on bill sent down fIom the senate,
which was stated to be OF such importance,
as to demand the immediate attention OF the
house. The two first clauses, which related
to the inspection of -four in the county Of
Kings, passed without debate.
The third clause was then read, the OBJ
ject Of which was, to allow the expectation
of -four from this state, which had been
marked :. bad'5by the inspectors.
Mr.. Van Vetchen expressed his astonish
ment at the introduction of such clause !;
and, in a few words, exposed its absurdity;
he commended, that it would wholly defeat
the object Of our laws for the inspection Of
Aoar-that the character of New York -four
was new high in foreign markets, owing to
the severity of our inspection laws butthat,
if this provision prevailed, it would open
the door, nay, invite too, innumerable i'm
positions, and destroy the credit Of the four
Of this state. He could discover no good
reason for the measure.
A New York member, Mr.. Fairlie, ii
we mistake not, undertook to explain the
object Of this measure. He said, that in
consequence of the merchants not being al
lowed to export bad flour, the citizens of
New York were compelled to eat it-that
the bakers imposed upon them, SC.
at length after a little BICYCLING and hest
tation, the petition on which the clause was
grounded. was read-when, behold it ap-
pears, that in consequence Of the embargo,
large quantities of flour had soured and
spoiled in New York !; and that if the own
ers 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 more striking picture
of the degradation Of our country The
embargo was laid to starve the British and
the non-importaton act to ruin her manu-
factories. This has been openly avowed by
the democrats in the house of assembly,who
have exultingly referred to the riots at Man
chester, as proof of the effects of these
measures Now an application is made to
the legislature, by our own citizens, for per-
mission to export their -four, spoiled by the
emsargo, for the purpose Of making starch,
for the very manufacturers whom this en-
barge was intended to starye.. Thus giving
to the British the same -four at reduced
price, which, but for the embargo, they
would have purchased at our own PRICE
Surely the embargo tells, J" as the Register
says.

ICharlesfo,a Courier.

Mr.. Mumford,s resolution we sincerely
hope will be adopted by the house that we
may, in some measure be relieved from the
distressing and deadly burden which has,
almost for year past, oppressed Us. 1t is
now acknowledged by every candid man
that the embargo can never be of any use to
this country, either as saveal2, or as q
measure to coerce the belligerent powers
Let Us then, for humanity's sake, get rid of
It if possible. If the executive has COM
mitted blunder which he is not willing to
acknowledge, this will make a loop hole for
him, to creep out of a system which by
this time he must know will not answer his
purpose. IF we make war, letus make it
in the old way; SO that, at least, it shall IN
iure our enemies as much as it does our.
selves. If we do not think the trade Of
France and Britain worth fighting for let
us make use of the ports which are open to
ss, and not, like a sulky negro, because we
cannot have every thing we desire, starve
ourselves to death.
