:h."uht hini weak, uaverinjr and
t 'pubilemimoL;.." They are woe
fully disappointed. The embargo
har outliv"ed their calculation ot its.
'Juration. The embargo, say vhat
federal g-.ntlemcn jnay, has produ
ced cieeo fcit effects. What has
i raise d lh mr.nufi.cturers and inc.

What has raissd flour in the West
Indies to jwe.uy or. fUcy dollars
perbbl ? The Etnbargo.
If I am no greatly misinformed
by letters lately received from Eng
land, the Embargo has brought;
hug.iU'.d to her stn3.3. rrancr,
too, a couple of,whose islands "are
in a state of "starvation, will learn
to be. justptowards us from, the
samcTmcasure. I should not be
surprized, if in one month from
this dute, the Embargo should.
jhave complettly gained every ob
ject ior which it was imposed :
nay, perhaps Mr. Jefferson may
even now hgvt received dispatches,

the embargo, but L do not know
that he has. .The time wifj 'ccmr,

But some very superior genuises
would remove the Embargo at ah
events, whilst Britishp.rders and
French decrees remain ! Where
would they tracte ? AVe.cari trade
to no part pf. Spairt or-Portugal',
we cannot trade in safety I mean,
to anypart of Europe, and all that
remains beside' of commerce, is II
net worth pursuing ; it is scarcely
surficient to bait 7the trap for US':

He again resumed the subject
of the Embargo s? addressing tho

yers expressed so much concern.
Who were they that imposed the
embargo ? Not tlie merchants, for
there wrere but four of any nr:e

we have got rid of most of ihem
