COLUMBIAN PHENIX: OR, PROVIDENCE PATRIOT, Providence, RI., Jan. 1, 1814.

* James Madison embargo act
* Creek Indian War

Beginning on the front page and concluding on page 2 is: "An Act Laying an Embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States", signed in type: James Madison. Also a message signed in type by Madison recommending enactment of the embargo. Page 2 report: "Fourth Victory over the Creeks". An uncommon title. Trimmed close at the bottom causing loss of a line or two to the act and message.
