10 me Electors Of Cumberland District.
THIS day, my fellow citizens, you
are to give your votes for member of
the EleUenth Congress and can you
long debate, which of the two 10 choose,
Embargo or Free trade mo rouse
at once remain no longer in state of
indifference on this interesting and i'm
portant subject. Not only go yourself,
but each man take his neighbor with
him, and if you wish to see your coun-
try IN peace, and your government res
Pected at home and abroad, free from
the accursed Embargo, and non-imhor.
faflon LazOS, vote, and use your inhu-
ence tor man Of talents, abilities, and
education who can support a resolu-
ton with frmness, and ably defend
your rights, by pointing out, in argu-
ment, the true and best policy for our
country to pursue. And who is this
man, Daniel Hsley, ESQ. or Ezekiel
Whitman, Esq ? The answer is obvi-
Gus. 1t IS said, with truth, that Mr..
llsley is a cLeDer man-and SO is Mr..
Whitman not only an honest man, but
possessed of other valuable uualifca-
loas, which, il is well ascertained. Mr..
llsley has no pretensions to. 1t is GER
family known, that MIR IIsIey would ap-
pear better in his farm yard, than at the
city OF Washington and by all who
have any acquaintance with both the
gentlemen, the truth Of thesl assertions
needs no investigation, We are un-
willing to inJure the feelings Of MIR.
llsley, but consider it our duty to state
facts relating to candidates for office,
which must ever be Of consequence to
the public and if men will permit
themselves to be set up for offices, for
which they were never by nature, or
education, designed, they must prepare
to meet public examination.
You cannot remain any longer indif-
terent who shall represent you in Con-
gress-whether man Of discernment,
education, and sound Judgment, or one
who has no preteDsions to either And
1t IS hoped you will not say and do, as
is frequently done, F" cannot attend
town meeting, to-day one vote will
make but little difference in the cleo
ton, but turn out, to a man, and give
your suffrages for EZEKIEL WHIT
MAN, Esquire.

4 III our last, we mentioned the arrival of
theu.S: dispatch schF. Hope, which bro't
communications from our Ministers in Lon
don and Paris, The Washington papers
state that the dispatches from Mr.. Pinckney
wge received at that city, but that those
from France were not. Nothing official res
petting the information by this vessel has
jetn Published, but the prevailing opinion
IS, that the Embargo viii not be removed
latpresent.
We have seen nothing which in the least
legree contradicts the accounts that Bona
parte has ordered tie condemnation Of Anleri-
taE property and tie imprisonment Of The A'te-
iitans IN France Yet the leaders Of dem
scracy still aeprove Of his cOndnct even de-
rocratic members Of Congress wish that he
nav subdue the only remaining power which
prevents his sending his cut-throats to this
country.--Are the FACE Men Of Ameri.

We believe they are not i'm that case
they will never give their suffFages in favor
Of the partizans of France to rule over them.

CITIZENS OF PORTLAND
TO many it may seem unnecessary
to address on the important duty which
devolves on you this day. A moments
reflection on your present situation,
must excite in your breasts, feelings
which speak language more power
sui, than is possible for words to ex-
press. Accustomed from your earli-
est youth, to commercial pursuits, and
those professions which are de +endant
on commerce, and under the implicit
faith OF those appointed to administer
that constitution which you and your
fathers fought TO obtain, you embarked
your property in that business which
was to afford support for yourselves
and families. But by the cruel and OPP
pressiye embargo laws, enacted by de-
Inocrats, and executed with all tile ty-
ranny and insolence of official influence
tor almost a year. These measures,
ut only for slaves to endure, have bro't
ruin and distress on large proportion
oF our industrious citizens. How long
this deplorable state of things is to ex-
lst, is impossible to say; but this we
know, tat there are characters among
Us, base enough to exult and rejoice al
tie general calamity, and who are de-
termined to use every mean to prolong
the public distress.

you really are what you profess to be,

Capt. Thorndike, who arrived at Salem
Oh Thursday last from Algeziras, informs,
chat when he was at Palermo, the news
which excited the greatest interest, was
Murat's being King of Naples. AnEnglish
ambassador had sailed from thence for
Constantinople and two bomb ships for
Barcelona, to lombard the fortress that COM
mands that place, At Algesiras the peo-
pie were highly animated in the patriot
cause, and the name of Frenchman was
detestable to them. He heard Of no recent
important event, but they represented that
Joseph Bonaparte was surrounded by the
Spanish armies, and would be obliged to
surrender; by which event they expected
Go recover their King. The French still
maintained the strong fortress of Montioi,
which commands the city of Barcelona !;
but the Spaniards expected to reduce them.
Indeed they did not admit doubt of sue

Preach from the kingdom. They were
anxious to know of the concurrence of the
