<div>SALEM GAZETTE, Salem, Massachusetts , April 7, 1812     * James Madison  * War Of 1812...  Shipping Embargo  Page 3 has an atypically large head: Another EMBARGO and a brief report confirming the imposition of another embargo. Says the message reached Boston in 76 hours from Washington. Originally a 60-day embargo that was proposed by President Madison, it was changed to a 90-day embargo by moderate members of Congress who believed a peaceful settlement with Great Britain was still possible. The embargo was especially unpopular in New England (and in some Southern states) where shipping was an important industry. In addition to opposing the commercial restrictions created by the embargo, the New England states also opposed war with Great Britain, eventually referring to the war as Mr. Madisons War. Quite unusual to see a head this size during this period. Some margin dirtiness, staining at the edges. Untrimmed in good condition otherwise. 4 pages.</div>

<div>THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, September 12, 1812  * USS Constitution defeats HMS Guerriere * War of 1812  Pages within contain two letters signed in type by James Monroe. A report headed: "Events Of The War" contains 5 pages of War of 1812 accounts with subheads including: "Commodore Rodgers' Squadron" "President & Belvidera" with a detailed account of the naval affair signed in type: Isaac Hull. The most historic report is one headed: "Destruction OF The Guerriere" datelined on board the frigate Constitution, with the report signed in type: Isaac Hull. Included is a list of killed & wounded. Yet another page has an editorial-type report titled: "The Constitution and Guerriere" with the report beginning: "The capture of this Englishman, all things considered, is one of the most splendid achievements in maritime history..." with more. Complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 3/4 by 10 1/4 inches, light browning with minor spine wear, otherwise in nice condition.</div> wikipedia notes: HMS Guerriere was a British 3-masted sail frigate of 38 guns captured from the French, and commanded by Captain James R. Dacres when she met the USS Constitution in her last battle. During the afternoon of 19 August 1812, Latitude 40.20 N and Longitude 55.00 West about 400 miles S.E. of Halifax, a sail was sighted on the weather beam bearing down on them. She was soon made out to be a man of war and Guerriere prepared for action mustering 244 men and 19 boys at quarters. When the enemy hoisted American colours, Captain James Richard Dacres permitted the Americans in his crew to quit their guns. The two ships exchanged broadsides for half an hour before the enemy closed her starboard beam and sent HMS Guerriere's mizen mast overboard. Switching to the other bow, the enemy raked HMS Guerriere and swept her decks with grape and musket fire, and then attempted to board. Mr Samuel Grant, master's mate commanding the forecastle, was badly wounded and about the same time Mr Rober Scott, the master, was shot through the knee and the Captain severely wounded. Capt. Dacres ordered Lieut. Bartholomew Kent to lead the marines and boarders from the main deck towards the forcastle but the two ships parting at that moment meant that they were able to bring some of the bow guns to bear on the enemy. Mr William J. Snow, master's mate, commanded the fore-most main deck guns and Mr John Garby, acting purser, the after quarter deck guns. The two ships were clear of each other when Guerriere's fore and main-masts went over the side leaving her an unmanageable wreck. They managed to clear the wreckage but while they were rolling with the main deck guns under water, the enemy wore round within pistol-shot to rake them. At this point Capt. Dacres called his remaining officers together and they agreed to strike the colours to avoid further loss of life. 15 were killed, including the second lieutenant, Mr Henry Ready; six mortally wounded, 39 severely and eighteen slightly wounded. Lieut. Kent was wounded by a splinter early on. They found that the enemy was the USS Constitution, Capt. Isaac Hull, of thirty 24- pounders on the main deck, twenty-four 32-pounders and two bored out 18-pounders on the upper deck. Out of 476 men 9 were killed and 13 wounded. Capt. Dacres was surprised and shocked to find a large proportion of British seamen amongst her crew, a number of whom had joined in the boarding party. Guerriere was too badly damaged to take in so, as soon as the wounded had been taken out, she was set on fire by her captors, and Constituion returned to Boston.

The olive branch has been tendered till its leaves have withered." This letter carries over to take half of pg. 2 as well. A nice page 2 letter: "To The Men of New York" begins: "For many years you have seen your country oppressed with numerous wrongs. Your government, although above all others devoted to peace, have been forced to draw the sword & rely for redress of injuries on the valor of the American people..." with more, including a nice "call to arms".

THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, Dec. 5, 1812 * Wasp Captures Frolic  * Naval battle * War of 1812 This newspaper actually has much content concerning the War of 1812, but one of the more historic reports is that found on an inside page concerning the naval battle of the Wasp and Frolic. There are actually two such reports in this issue, both shown in the photos below. Other War of 1812 reports are found under the heading: "Events Of The War" which takes several pages. A few of the reports are shown in the photos.  Complete in 16 pages. The only damage the issue has suffered is an archival mend across one page which was torn.  The tear is almost unnoticeable and causes no text loss.

Some foxing, otherwise good. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: Dolley Payne Todd Madison (May 20, 1768 – July 12, 1849) was the wife of the 4th President of the United States, James Madison, and was First Lady of the United States from 1809 to 1817. She also occasionally acted as what is now described as First Lady of the United States during the administration of Thomas Jefferson, fulfilling the ceremonial functions more usually associated with the President's wife, since Jefferson was a widower.[1] It is disputed as to whether her true name is Dorothea, Dorothy, or Dolley and her name has been widely misspelled as "Dolly"; her most recent biographers use the name Dolley as that is how she identified herself during her lifetime and because that is how her name was registered at her birth.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, from Washington D.C., dated February 2, 1813 * General William H. Winder * War of 1812 from the nation's capital Page 2 has a detailed "communication" from Col. Winder to Gen. Smythe about the attack on the enemy's lines, opposite and below Black Rock, signed in type: Wm. H. Winder. The front page has "An Act" providing pensions for the survivors of "..any officer of the Navy or marines..." killed in the line of duty, signed in type: James Madison. Other news of the day. Trimmed close at the top causing minor, unrelated loss, tiny loss in the lower left corner, some foxing, otherwise good. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: William Henry Winder (1775 – 1824) was an American soldier and a Maryland lawyer. He was a controversial general in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. Winder was born in Somerset County, Maryland. He was the nephew of Levin Winder. He graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, and from 1798 to 1812 practiced law in Baltimore.[1] He was commissioned as a colonel in the U.S. Army at the start of the War of 1812. Promoted to brigadier general, he was one of two acting commanders of the American army at the Battle of Stoney Creek in July 1813, where he was captured, along with fellow commander John Chandler. Exchanged the following year, Winder was appointed commander of the defenses of Washington and Baltimore by President James Madison on July 4, 1814. In August General Ross with several thousand troops advanced upon Washington. Winder had only a few hundred regulars, and a mob of some thousands of militia to oppose them. The Americans met the British at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814. He failed to show effective command in the battle, retreated in the ensuing rout, and the capital fell into the hands of the invaders. Winder was afterward court-martialed, but was acquitted of all blame.[2] Winder later testified at the impeachment trial of Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. One of his sons, John H. Winder, was a brigadier general in the Confederate army during the American Civil War.

The Americans met the British at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814. He failed to show effective command in the battle, retreated in the ensuing rout, and the capital fell into the hands of the invaders. Winder was afterward court-martialed, but was acquitted of all blame.[2] Winder later testified at the impeachment trial of Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. One of his sons, John H. Winder, was a brigadier general in the Confederate army during the American Civil War.

THE WAR, New York, NY, February 9, 1813 * Zebulon Pike proclamation * War of 1812 original This is an interesting and somewhat short-lived newspaper which came into existence for the expressed purpose of reporting news from the War of 1812.  When the war ended so did this newspaper. The front page is entirely taken up with a report headed: "The Committee to whom was referred so much of the Pesident's Message ...as relates to our Foreign Affairs...", with much on relations with England and the War of 1812. This report carries over to take all of page 2 as well. A pg. 3 item notes: "A rumor is current in this city...that gen. Winchester has been defeated at the Miami Rapids where himself & a thousand men were killed or taken prisoners..." and another item notes: "...58 persons, mostly British soldiers, deserters from Prescott, reported themselves to capt. Forsyth...they state the British force at Prescott to consist of about 800, mostly militia. A number of deserters have lately crossed lake Erie on the ice, from Canada, & arived at Buffalo. They state that Upper Canada is ravaged by sickness & famine..." with more.  There are several other news tidbits regarding the War of 1812 on page 3 as well. The back page has much bood information as well, with over a column on: 'Naval and Marine Memoranda", plus "Extracts of a letter from an officer on board the Prisoner Ship, Barbadoes" and a report datelined from Norfolk, and an article headed: "Eastern Frontier" from the hqts. at Eastport (see photos), plus a great document which is signed in type: Z.M. Pike from West Lake Champlain, which includes: "The state of hostility which exists between the kingdom of Great Britain & the United States makes it necessary that the intercourse which may take place between this country and the adjacent province of Canada should be regulated...no person should be permitted to pass into or out of Canada without his permission...whosoever shall relieve the enemy with money, victuals or ammunition, or shall knowingly harbor or protect an enemy shall suffer DEATH or such other punishment...whosoever shall be convicted fo holding correspondence with, or giving intelligence to the enemy...shall suffer DEATH..." with a bit more. Other items as well. Complete in 4 pages measuring about  about 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches. Some light damp staining throughout the issue but causing no loss of readability, otherwise in nice, clean condition.
