EnJcrso to be rrpealrd.-If Mr.. Madi-

Embargo on the 4th of March. as a popular
introduction to the new president. The rea-
soning of the Monitor runs thus.-Iile en-
barge was intended to preserve our proper

frequent evasions of the law, and the Spa

cious coerciye qualities, it is to be immedl-
ateiv repsa led. That is we have been fight
ing with Great Britain upwards of a twelve
month, we have been running ourselves to
c9erce her into concession of our demands
and we now suddenly relinquish the pro-
lect as truitless.
Relieve us from such wise and consistent

DFSPOTLSK-If you want to know
the most desperate and secret designs OF the
administration consult the Baltimore Wing.
The following is from that print.
Baltimore, Jan. IS. General Wilkin-
son aud suite embarked yesterday for
Charleston, i'll the schooner Woolf. From
Charleston he will sail to New Orleans in
he Hornet sloop Of war. The presence of
this gallant man IS much wanted In Louisi-
am where The bafH d band''o Barr, carry
ON ths most infamous intrlgues. The
COURTS are rotten and the people, too ge-
morally despise the American government
as devoid of energy. A letter from one of
the first characters at Orleans authorises me
to make this last remark. Marx the COURTS
for they are the strong holds of disaaec-
ton.
Here is plain avowal that Wilkinson,
the infamous Wilkinson, is sent down to
New Orleans al the head of the army to put
down the courts of justice. Are the peo-
pie prepared to submit to this? Is there no
man in either house of Congress who feels
it to be his duty to institute an enquiry
