Ia the present dearth of foreign intelh-
rence, it would afford Us much satisfaction,
five had any thing of favorable nature to
communicate as to our domestic affairs.
Previous to the late elections for mem
bers of Congress, the leaders Of the demo-
cratic party promised the people thai as
soon as Congress should be in session, the
embargo would be repealed, and taat we
should again be permitted to exercise our
commercial privileges.
This, ike all the democratic professions,
has proved falsehood. BY the lat accounts
from Washington, we can expect no relief
The present restrictions on our commerce
are to be continued, with the addition Of
others, still more severe, as respects the
eoasting trade.
Having secured a majority Of democrats,
in the next Congress, and the election Of
Mar. Madison, as our next President, our ri
Iers appear determined to persist in their
ruinous measures. New-England, p@Fticu-
larly this part Of It, will be doomed TO expe.
rience the heaviest of sufierings. And a
majority Of our leading democratic rulers
seem resolved to involve US in the ccmpli-
Gated evils Of WAR and POVERTY At the
same time.
