their pay principally in bills, and adImira
Warren's bills. it is a well known fact, have
been seen passing abort in Boston. Snug
gled goods also is another source of pay, and
the various ways by which they are bro night
into the country clandestinciy, are al most
infinite. Sometimes there is a conniv ance,
where the governniens ought not to al
low it. Sometime false captures. Some
times from Spain with English MARKS and
leads OH them, and set there is no q. fficulty
to fiiid q committee who will give Il. their O.
pinion that they are Spanish clogls. Some-
times the goods are artfp!iyi under ga
;lued. AVID the owner gives bonds and takes
his goods. In short Darlington himself had
not more arts. tricks and devices, than these
fellows OF " moral and sehgions ha6its."
The embargo Law, therefore, has TINS
produced an important change in our affairs,
much for the best. 1t has prevented our
commerce from falling into tho hands of the
enemy, and English ships being substituted
IN the place of our own. which they have
driven from the ocean. 1t preserves our
seamen from failing into the hands of the
English. and into their service, and pre-
serves them for our own ships, and for car
rying on this war. It will lower the price
OF our own produces and enable the great
body OF the people TO live more convenient
ly. II will deprive the enemy of the neces
sary means of prosecuting this war against
us, and distress them in every quarter
And lastly, the system Of illicit commerce,
and the smuggling system, prastised TO such
degree, was gradually corrupting the pub
lie morals, at u time that public virtue was
wanted to meet the exigencies of the nation.
The embargo. in this latter view alone, ought
therefore to be Considered as wise purjhc
measure. ~

The British this morsing landed about 5000

and after a severe engagement with the mi
litia under the command of Maj. Gen. Hall,
forced them to retreat to the village of Buff
salo;. and abput sunrise, TO surrender them>
selves prisoners of war. The Houses in the
village were Immediately committed TO the
flames; and about 5 o'ccck this afternoon
almost entirely consumed. At the same time
two large vessels, living above Black Rock,
were set on FIRE and consumed. 1t is the "a
vowed object Of the British, as received by
gWd authority, to proceed in short time to
Erie, for the purpose of burning the vessels
IN that port; and, as an inducement to the
Indians to aid and assist them in his nefari.
GUS plan, full liberty is given them to plum
der, for their own benefit, wherever they
may go.--As the communication from this
place to the eastward is entirely interrupted
by the said Indians, &c. and rs il is impor-
tant for you to have the earliest information
of the above, we recommend to you every
exertion, to be in readiness, in case of an at
