MILITARY EXPEDITION.

Ea.tscct IA letter. from a gentleman IN Ia
ktax, to q merchant IN Boston, aated Sep
tender Z.
s.Tnc troops here, commanded by sir
George Provost, are under orders for dis
tant secret expedition, and are nearly pre-
pared. The number is about 1000. There
are various conectures as to the place OF
destination. Some persons suppose they are
bound to Spain or Portugal, to assist the pa
triots some that they are going against
French COLONY
The above orders will serve to shew that
no idea is now entertained of war with
the United States.
Whenthe flood gateis open, andthe feed
ing streams damned up, the mill pond will
soon run dry. A million year to the ar
my and all the out goes from the treasury,
while all revenue is prevented by the en-
barge from coming in, will soon drain the
treasury as dry as tne mill pond. Then far
mers look DAT.
The following doleful complaint from the
Richmond Enquirer.
6 In one respect, the advocates ofthe En-
barge do not stand upon equal ground. The
evils and inconveniencies of the embargo are
before oar eyes. They are facts, on which
any man can expatiate and reason. But the
evils of any other expedient are not complete
w realised. We can speculate on them with
immense force of reasoning. But it is still.
for the most part, speculation combating ex-
perience; conception combating fact. Those
therefore, who advocate this measure, though
they are surrounded by the strongest probable
lilies, are vet obliged to contrast facts, which
no man can destroy, with probabilities, which
prejudice may deny, or ignorancs may not
understand
