EMBARGO.
To the Editor*.—The Embargo L?w was pass,
ed late in December, when the small craft were
laid up for the winter, and when the ugricultu.
rat products were of course arrested in their
progress to ma ket. They tir.i relore tdl the
spring felt no inconvenience thereby. The
bill imposed the embargo till the first day o*
of January, 1815, and tbreed Great Britain to
provide from Europe the supplies for her fleets
and arm ea in America, us she expected its
continuance. This inconvenience she has no
doubt been su'jected to, unless in such sup.
«v plies as may hate been treasonably furnisher1
her. These the raising of the embargo wiil no
alter ; no supplies can now be sent her by Ante,
ricatts but treasonably. The restrictive system
has been charged on the administration as an
evidence of hostility in them to commerce, by
which the East has been long divorced from the
Administration. A removal of the cau*e of the
disaffection of the East, will re-unite the East
with the South, and I hope soon to see the bear
of the East and the wolf of the South lie down
with the lamb of the Centre j and that, as a house
divided against itself cannot stand, by thismra
sure the Union will he again restored, ar.d pre
sent an undivided and impregnable from, that
all will rally round the standard of our common
country j that standard which was erected by the
Fathers of the ({evolution, and consecrated by
the blond o' tlicir sons, and thus, by our united
anil in vine ble legions put a period to a war
Which disunion alone could protract, and disap
point some ambitious Cxsar in a civil war.

strength. Those who have seen him, know
that he will bear a critical examination. The
Ractng Calendar will thevi that ho was one of
the first racers in England, and particularly at
high weights and long distances. The General
Stud Book will prove that he possesses the /a*.
vortte and hett blood in the -world.—and a refer*
ence to Moreland’, Genealogy of the Race Horon
will convince every one, that he is the beet croon
to be found for the Dare Devil, Diomed, Florin
Saltravi and Buzzard mares.
SHIELDS SAUNDERS.
Whitby, March 25, 1814.
OBSERVA TIONS,
A report has been industriously circulate!.
that Sir Harry did not get one mare with foaSs
hut year* —evidently with a malicious intentioi
—became, although founded in fact, the reaoen
is euppreend. The truth it, that he did not co
ver a sing e mare last year. 1 had him turned
o«r into a lot, with an open stable, in the fall of
1812, m which situation he continued till Fe®
bruary this year, with the view, and upon a cal
culation. that it would prolong his life many
years. He stood at Majo* Michaux*, on Jamca
river, the season of 1812, and was not so sue.
ccsstul as lie had been in former years, owiner.
1 am persuaded, to an improper mode of treat*
ment tthe which 1 had mv self directed, there—
fore no blame attaches to Major Micluux) and
ot which I was convinced soon after thw
m ason expired, when the svstem of feeding
was discontinued—at that tiine. Major Michaux
put two young fillies to.him—they ware both
go' with foal. Soon after his return home from
h“ "W» lWo that iiad heen witli him
the teann, were again put, and they also were
got with foul immediately, lam warranted in
saying, th Mr. William E. Broadnax (as ex
perienced a gi nUtnian as any in the state, and
who lc. pt sir Harry two seasons is st ill of opi
nioit, tiiai und-r liis management [the plan of
which he has communicated to me I he would
continue to be a good foal getter. Mr. Uroad*
nax s avocations and engagements, will u<«. per
mit his keeping a horse this season. Sir VhttvW
is as hne a constitutioned hiorse as lives—he V
now in hne health aud rigor, has no nalurJdJ
cct, looRs as young as most 7 year old imrses.S
I have no fear oi isappointmc-ut to gentlemen
who shall send a good brood mare to him - *
Gentlemen who have trained some of his stock
know it is the eort to be reiitd on. I have h id
repeated applications from the southward, and
i is not improbable that Jiis may be his loot

1 inch high, very handsome 8c powerfully made,
of a beautiful dark bay colour, with black legs,

elegant saddle horses as any horse in this coun«

His performances on the turf are so well known
to sportsmen, as to render a detail of them now
unnecessary.
