acts ana proclamations ot the Jun
w , - - tion of the central government :
- , us alfo an account oj a correfpon (knee between mr. Erving, our charge d'affairs at Madrid and the new Spanifh government. From which correfpondence it appears that mr. Erving has conaucled himfelf with great prudence in his official capacity.- While the Am bairadors of all the odier powers at Madrid, acknowledged Jofeph Bonaparte as king, mr. Erving. much to his praise, had the fortitude not to commit bis government by fuch an acknowledgment. The Central government alRires mr. Erving that the Ameiican veffels in the ports of Spain under fequeftration 'ihail be delivered up. N. T. Gaz. The two decilions made in Congrefs, are important in every point ol light in which they can be contemplated. In the Senate it has been determined by a majority of twentv-five to lix, not to rpeal the
embargo ; and in the Houfe it has been iletermined by a majority of eighty-four to twenty-one, to prohibit the adrniffion of Britilh and French Dublic or private veffels

GENUINE PATRIOTISM.
The town of Marblehead lies
adjacent to the fea, and nrefents
every facilitv which could induce
its inhabitants, (were they foin-i
clinccP to violate the embargo
laws. It contains a population of
irom fix to leven thouland, who gajn their fubfidence chiefly from the produces of their induilry on the ocean ; nine tenths of tin people are republican, courageous and enterprifinjj. They have now on hand 300,000 quintals ol fiih the value of which is equal to 1,200,000 dollars. And yet notwithflanding their contiguity to the fea, and the irnmenjfe mafs of their ftaple commodityln keeping, there has been no folitary inftance of their evadingjhe a&s laying
the embargo. Marblehead, during the revolutionary war, furniihed a fine regiment, which 'ought manfully in behalf of independence. It was of thefe brave men that General Wafhington ufed to fay, 44 1 cjn always rely upon them." Of the propriety of this remark, fome opinion may Reformed, when I tell the reader that nine hundred widows in that town mourned the I jfs of their
hufbands, who fell in the contelt
with Great Britain from thtfe men as sincere as they waintre-
