SALEM GAZETTE, Massachusetts, April 7, 1812 

* President enacts Embargo against England
* Beginning of War of 1812

Page 2 has a report headed: "Embargo" with the text beginning: "Confirmation of another ruinous EMBARGO, preparatory to a war with Great Britain, which has caused the utmost consternation in this city  will produce incalculable loss to our merchants & farmers..." with more (see photos). And another reated article with HUGE lettering is found on pg. 3, with a quite brief yet historic report (see photos).
Complete in 4 pgs., never bound nor trimmed, some staining at the margins, generally nice.
