. . . Corp told me yesterday that he would sell Led he has on
Commission from New Orleans at 8%— If I get possession of
yours I shall not sacrifice it at such price. If the Embargo continues
a 12 month War with England need not be fear'd, that Government
seem disposed to obey the orders of Bonaparte, yet they dare not do
it, since England has manifested a determination, not to go to War,
with us, unless absolutely compel'd to do so— Popularity falls from
the Administration, like the withered leaves of the Forest, before the
rude Blasts of Autumn— The Osage has arrived and report sais
that Mr Pinkney has expressed an opinion that the British
Ultimatum brought by her, will be axcepted by our Government— The
Embargo ruins us all here it will strip me of half my hard earned
Property.
