NORFOLK, March ID.

A meeting ofthe citizens of this place was
called by the mayor on Saturday last, to take
into consideration measures for the relief 81
tie distressed seanlen now in this place. A
! number OF citizens attended but the meetinn
! was not considered as sufficiently numerous
to proceed to business and another we un-
derstand will be called. Every person is sa-
tished and all are willing to adopt some mea.
sure Tor the TEMPORARY relief OF these un-
fortunate men, but all are sensible that it is
impossible for the inhabitants of this place to
make provision tor their PERMANENT sup
port. The measure which appeared to us to
be the Que which had The most advocates, was
that which We believe Will be adopted It is
proposed. 20 raise a fund for their immediate
support, to charter vessel, and having fur.

seancn who are without employment 10 the
city OF Washington, where they can apply
for support to tEuae wno have the means Of

ment.

hal OF tie seamen already ont Of employ, it
was with great gEicl that they understood that
upwards OF one handred and scvenfyLnen, dis

20 be added % The number Of the unfortunate,
FOR whom some provision must lie made
We were never more astoalshed, than
when We un6crstooa that the government had
ordered these men to &c discharged, at time
when It must have been known that they
would be iest without the means of subsist-
ence. 70 enlarge upon the cruelty OF such
measure, would be to insult every feeling and
generous heart. Bot we must remark, that
tins measure proceeds from men, who, if you
would helieTe them, arc ready to expend the
last dollar, a., 70 shed the last drop of blood
IN support o. taeir " injured seafaring fellow
citizens" And yct they can very philosophi-
ca!iy deprive tiie;r dear fellow citizens Of the
means o. subsistence, and leave them to De-
rish or depend on the bounty Of community
already bowed down by their own suffeiings
IN political view this measure in not less all
surd than it is cruel in moral sense With
the recoiieo;;on Of this transaction,
country governed by men with such feelings,
expect defenders III tie hour Of danger and Of
difftiicuity The remembrance must chill the
warmth oepatlio.lsm, and damp the artor Of
courage.

CONTRADICTION.

Yesterday terminated the ninetieth day
since inc Embargo was laid, and much specu-
lation has nonc forth with respect TO the crush
il would occasion III the Mercantile world, and
which VIC, iii common WI h our feliow-citi-
gers, deptore lis destructive consequences,
get the PEOPLE Of this town may with great
truth iehcitate themselves. that in the general
wreck they have withstood the shock as well,
if Tot better, than some Of their ncighbors.
We hear Of no failures in this place, and we
are informed that for the last three months
there has only been IS suits commenced in
the court Of this county, which is al least 80
short of the number generally brought either
in this court Or tue former corporation court
in the same space 81 time. which not only
proves that the people OF this place are as
well of as most her commercial towns, but
also that there exists spirit net to Cypress
each other during the continuance Of such
distressing times-and while this spirit OF ac-
conlinodation exists among TIE citizens 1t Is
hoped that the government whom We are in
fcrmed are plaintiffs in a proportion Of the
suits commenced. viii not be more rigorous
than private individuals, especially while they
have an overfowing treasury, and their debts
rot ieoparil;zed by delay, and we hope to see
this clenency realised at the district court,
which sits here the irst of April next, by a
continuance for the present OF the U. States
SUITS depending therein.
