1t is false that any portion OF the mill.

wicked federal fabrication, to excite the
citizens in other parts of the union, to a
violation of the laws.
Ii is also false that the Collector Of the

IN the Boston Centinel by an exslact of a
letter said to be dated Providence, Janu-

York Evening Post, under the assuming
title of an f" extrac, of a letter dated Pro.

is that the collector did on The Sd of Jan.

to issue orders to brigade of militia, to

the laws, but it was not necessary to order

We are duly aware of the anxiety which
exists in the pubic bosom, in regard to the
measures which will be adopted in lieu of
the embargo. 1t is surely subject of the
most awful and. Interesting nature. The
fate of our country is deeply Involved in the
issue, and it would afford US singular plea
sure to annouace>the determination of con-
gress. The difficulties which surround us,
are of no little magnitude. The session of
the present Congress, however, must end
on the 4th of March, and of course we may
expect in a few days to learn the result of
their deliberations. To this point our ex-
pectatiohs are on tip toe. In relation to
the substitute which ought to be, adopted,
there exists an infinite variety of opinions,
but according to our apprehension-Let US
have the EMBARGO or WAR.
