A rapid view YVES tcu in our last pa
per of ,he nature and effects of the En-
bargo. IS it is The strongest measure yet
taken by the government, and from its We
Nv nature win be productive Of interesting
consequences, n9t Only on the foreign
world, bu, l.Eewise on ourselves, it is of
the first Importance that The public should
receive correct impressions upon IL. For
a time it will materially reduce the price
NJ our produce, and enhance that Of many
foreign commodities Tie latter Circum>
stance VIII operate as some indemnify TO
orr merchants for the suspension OF their
business; the former will, in Il considera-
bic degree, aHcct the interests ofthe far
mer AID planter. Fortunately, IN this
country, it is ,te latter class o. citizens,
who, from their numbers az well as their
wealth, are the most able 20 bear pres
SIRE. The season at which thc embargo
Is aid is favorable To- them. They VIII al
ready have supplied themselves with most
% the goods they win want for the ensuing
winter, the crops of;he last autumn viii 70
a great extent have already found mar
kei, and the principal exert'ons requisite
for tie next harvest will not be called Cor
until the ensuing spring. This will allcvi-
ate, though il certainly viii not supcrcede
the effects Of the measure. There VIII
still remain occasion for much fortitude,
perhaps Gor great patience.
