We have seen an extract of a letter from Hartford, which states the following facts:
That on Thursday week, the Governor and Council met at that place, when his Excellency laid a communication before them, from certain characters in Massachusetts, requesting to know, if the people of Connecticut were ready to join Massachusetts, in the proposed resistance to the Embargo law? After remaining in session during the day the Council gave it as their opinion, That it was Not advisable to adhere to the project; to which the Governor readily assented. The writer further observes, that it seems even Connecticut is not prepared to join issue in the mad, wicked, and foolish plans of the British faction in and about Boston.
The above may be relied on. It needs no comment.
