In Puriuance Of his infru6tions,
the General in the couric of the lalt

to give the fun of Also dollars.
On the 1T Of September, accor-

Letter. fran Wajbiagton, dated on
Saturday lalt, announce that MIR.
Rofc's Million has terminated in a
total failure. 1t is faid, .hat Mr..
Madison has mentioned the fact,
without reserve, in various circles !;
and that the President was expected
to fend meiIage to Congrefs on the
iubje6t yeiferday.-The information
comes from 70 many gentlemen of
different political fentiments, that we
are compelled TO believe it.
Ii is alto faid that there is no prob
ability that the Embargo viii BE raj
led before midfummeE and that it
will greatly depend on the CONNER
cial otates whether it be RATED in
twelve months. Indeed, it is believ-
ed that the Southern and Wefern
States would agr1 that America
! abandon the Ocean forever.
In this situation what -hould the
pe ople do Let the Merchants, in all
our seaport Towns, come forward,
ar one moment. and as one man, and
unite in itrong and fpirited remon-
france and let that remembrance
be signed by every man, who has the
leaf regard for the intereita, the
honor and the fafety Of the country.
The honor of the country does not
require the facrifce Of its peace,
PROPERTY and commerce. Peace
may be preserved, commerce reitor-
ed, induitry revived, want and mise
ry removed, and our national honor
vlndicated and supported. Let the
people route then from their dreams
Of safety. lie. them be up and do
ing; before it be forever too late.

merce and abandon the Ocean ? II

hopes and believes will never take place.
AS the principal support of Newspa-

who have heretofore promoted his estab.

opportunity offers, to extend the circula-

The editor can assure his subscribers
that the Monitor shall be enlarged to- size

gress IN November next and that the
proceedings of that body, together with
all public vouchers and documents, will

SIR---The Legislature of South Ca
ioiina, deeply impressed with the situ-
alton in which the United States have
been placed, by the unfounded and ar
roGant Pretensions of the belligerene
powers OF Europe and aware OF the
iorce derived, in a government like
ours, from public opinion, have
thought it right, at such crisis, 70
make known to the world their unal-
terable determination to support the
rights and honor of our country. and
to declare their entire appreciation Of
the prudent and dignifed course pur-
sued by It's administration. To this
manifestation of their own FEELINGS.
they have been yet further induced
by the expression, in other parts OF the
union, OF contrary sentiments, at mo-
ment when, 1t is conceived. that sacri-
hce OF the conflicting opinions of indi-
Viduals, and the animosities Of party,
was demanded alike by sound policy
and by patriotism.
The Resolutions l have now the ho-
nor to transmit you, obtained. YOU will
perceive, the unanimous concurrence
OF both branches of our legislature.
a conclusion from hence, however.
either that there existed among us q
perfect unanimity of political senti.
ment, or that the present restrictions
upon our commerce were but little felt
by MS, would be equally erroneous.-.-

national honor or Interests were con-
