Mr.. quincy presented petitions from five
towns i'll Massachusetts, respecting fish, sta
ting the peculiar distress under which they
labor from the operation OF the embargo !;
that 1t falls uncqually upon that class of Gil
tiZens to which they belong; that they are
the class least able to bear it +; that their soil
is miserable and sandy; and that they de-
pend wholly upon the fishing business for sup
port, having 10 other employment than fish
ing; that to carry it on with any success,
they should have the right OF expectation, as
great part ofthe product of their labor is CON
, sumed III foreign couhtries; that the com
mon home consumption is much reduced by
the present low price of other articles for
the support of life that the whole of their
! product now on hand is of a pcriShable ma
tuTe, and great danger will arise in conse-
| quence OF its putreiaction in summer that
in their opinion it would be better to lose part
! by capture than 20 lose the whole from the
