II ELL to SUSPEND the liberation ofEz--
ecntions during the continuance ofthe
Emoargo and ninety days after if as ratS-
Ell.
WHEREAS, it is unjust and unreasona-
Bile, that during the continuance of the
Embargo, that a sacrifice should be made
OF the property OF that portion OF the good
people OF this commonwealth, who have
unfortunately contracted debts, which ,un :
DER existing circumstances, they are at this
time unable to discharge:
BE 1t therefore enacted by the General
Assembly, That all Judgments heretofore
or hereafter to be obtained in any court of
record in this commonwealth or before any
Justice OF the peace of any county, city, or
borough within the same, shall be stayed
in the Office where rendered, until
days after the raising of the embargo, by the
Congress of the United States, on condition
that the defendant or defendants against
whom such judgment NAV be rendered,
shall give sufficient security for paving
the amount of any judgment or judgments
rendered against him or them, as the case
may be, being required so TO do, by the
court, judge or justice before whom such
Judgment may have been or hereafter may
be rendered.
anu oC IL Iurtner enacted, L nat all exc
cutions, now i'll the hands of any sheriff,
coroner, sergeant, or con stable, on which
the several sums of money or tobacco or
o!her things shall not have been made,
shall be forthwith returned TO the Office or
place from whence the same was issued,
there to remain, the defendant or defend
ants being required, and giving security as
above required.
And be it liurther enacted, That no trus-
tee or trustees, in any deed of trust, or
mortgage, shall carry the same into ex..
ecuton but all proceedings shall be stay.
ed on them as provided in executions.
Provided nevertheless, That all collec-
tors OF public revenue, sheriffs and consta-
bies and attornies for money received OF
their clients, and who shall fail to pay the
plaintiff or plaintiffs, creditor or creditors,
when required, shall be proceeded against
in the same manner as if this act had not
been passed.
This act shall go into operation immedi-
ately after the passing thereof.
On Wednesday the 9TH Dec. the Electors
OF President and Vice President of the u.
States met in the several states, from the
following of which we have heard, and in
which the votes were given as stated:
FOR PRESIDENT.
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1808-12-23

We confess we should have been more
gratified in recording an unanimous vote.
But though majority of the friends of
Governor Clinton have yielded To the ge-
neral policy, and given their support to Mr..
Madison, yet the other portion of them, it
appears. did not perceive the necessity of
such acquiescence, and gave their ballots to
the candidate of their cnoice. Far be it
from US to impug their motives their long
and high standing in society forbids sus-
picion of their republican integrity. And
on the other hand, while SO many of the
Electors have given their voice for the ell
ovation of the Secretary, we were happy
TO find no one of them disposed, for sim
gle moment, to listen to the slightest sug-
gestion of want of confidence IN the Vice
President, or diminution of their attach
ment to his virtues, and grateful sense Of
the eminent services in the cabinet and
field he has rendered his country.
JOHN G. SPENCER, esq was appointed
by the electors the bearer of their votes to
the city of Washington.

British government? That events in
Spain alone, however intoxicating to
the British cabine:, were not, Of them
selves, sufficient to produce this effect /;
because they were known before the
change in Mr. Canning's conduct took
place, and had not produced that effect !:
But, the moment the extravagant ac-
counts of the di,contents and divisions
In this country were received, was the
moment Of change IN Mr. Canning S
conduct, aud, therefore, must be con-
sidercd as the real cause that produced
it. Besides Sir was not this change
of conduct tine natural e.f,ct OF this DIS
graceful information ? When MIR.
Canning was informed thar the people
Of the United S ases had tecome false
TO themselves had refused TO bear
the necessary privations, imposed by
the government; had, in fact, separa-
ted themselves from their own govern
ment-that they would elect persons
to Office, who would, voluntarily, yield
obedience to Mr. CanEing's orders
what inducement could he have for
their revocatione 1t obedience aud
submission were gratuitously rendered
by the people OF the United States, he
had certainly nothing to do but gra-
ciously TO accept them /; and his
note affords full evidence of this i'm
preston on his mind. The refusal of
the British government, 20 revoke
their hostile orders, therefore, appears
not to have been founded upon a cal
cuation OF its interests upon correct
information butupon a mis- aicuiation
OF lis interests upon INSTRUMENTATION.
