We congratulate the friends of Peace and

We stop the press to nnounc the intel
lioence of an armed British and Indian force
on the Canada side of the Niagara river,
apparently with an Intention to make a des-
cent on the American side.
Ii is stated that the Indians are receiving
supplies of arms and provisions from the
British military stores at Newark, and that
boats are in readiness to transport their
men across the river. We learn that intel.
ligence has been transmitted to Messrs.
Porter and Barton from some of their
friends in Upper Canada, stating that it is
advisable for them to remove their families
from the river.
A messenger has been sent express from
Lewistown on Niagara river to general Hall
of Ontario county to call out the militia i'm
mediately. The companies in this place
are embodying to march at a moments
warning.

constituents, expressed in their elections,
or whether forge,ful of their responsibility,
and Of the approaching elections of Repre-
sentatives to Congress and of Presidential
Electors, they will proceed to take that
step, which must plunge this country into
an abyss OF woe and misery, and p~recipi-

Notwithstanding the boasts of our war

TO wait the result, and we are happy it has
been such as ought to convince them ofthe
deiusion which has been attempted to be
imposed upon them, and of the necessity
OF "retracing their steps"
An Embargo is laid for ninety days.
and altho' this is avowed to be intended as
a precursor ofimmediate war--yet it Is a
measure of that ambiguous character, as
may be changed from a preceding to a pre-
tentative measure-and though we are not
OF opinion that even this was necessary TO
avoid a war, or even to save the nice feel

sincerely hope they will make no other use
of it. We hope that at its expiration, they
will once more liberate commerce from lie.

will adopt such retaliating measures as
shall neither provoke war, nor produce

fully negligent of their duty have our con-

British have already commenced the capture
of American vessels on our coast. The num-
