Thtfe events are fi> recent and our intelligence, concerning the prefenc ftate and profptfts of Spair, fo im perfeft, we are not yet ready to ex prefs any opinion on the propriety of fufpending the embargo in whole or in patrp becaufe of ihefe events.

To petition at pre ft nr, as we are forced to view the fubjeft, would imply a luppofuion that the Prefident was not qualified for his high ftation or not difpofed to perform its du ties ; a fuppofiti.cn which the in habitants of Worcefter, no more than thofe of Bofton, were ever difpofed to make. Fully perfuaded that we haveex prelfed the fentiments of a large ma jority of the inhabitants of this town, in expreffing our own, we cannot believe it would be fatisfaftory to them, on this occafion, at this fta fon of the year, to be called togeth er in town meet ng.
