The road to Rornelia is also perfectly safe, and the most valuable caravans of merchandize pass and repass quite unmolested.

" By the Black Joke lugger, arrived at Pymouth, in 14. days from Lisbon, we learn, that when she sailed a considerable number of transports was lying in the Tagus, with troops on boar& and ready to sail at a moment's notice. The Black Joke called off Corunna on Friday last, but saw neither French nor Spanish colours flying there, or any person on the shore ; nor did the town exhibit any appearance of having suffered by a con flagraion, as lately reported. It is pretty confidently asserted in some political circles that the Achates from Barbadoes, the arrival of which vessel has been already announced, brought intelligence of the relinquishment, for the present, of the intended attack up on Martini q ue ; the supplies lately received by that island having rendered, it too formidable to be assailed with any rational hope of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ----- CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC.

AM :RICA. Sunday and Monday last no less than eight vessels, laden chiefly with. cotton, arrived at Liverpool from America, and which put to sea in violation of the Embargo Act.—They are part of twenty-two sail which ran out of New York harbour on the nights of the 15th and 16th ult. The Embargo Act, which passed on the 7th of January, contains a clause which enacts that all vessels which were then loaded should immediately re-land their cargoes, or give substantial bonds to six times their value, that they would not proceed to a foreign port. All these vessels were laden long since with cotton and rice, expecting the embargo to be removed ; but hearing that an order was received at the Custom house at New York to unload their cargoes, they all slipped out on the above nights; but amen of them were pursued and brought to by the gun-boats. No vessel will now be permit ted to take in a cargo for a foreign port, or load with any article; fit to be used in foreign manufactures; and any attempts to evade these laws are to be severely punished, and informers to be rewarded with. half the cargoes. One of the above vessels has brought New-York Papers to the 11th ult. From the Mercantile Chronicle of that date, we make the following extracts : " The Bill for enforcing the tribargo, which ori ginated in the Senate, underwent much discussion, and several amendments, upon which the Yeas and Nays were: called ten different times. The Bill was eventually agreed to, by a majority of more than two to one—Yeas 71, Nays 32. " On Saturday the 7th inst. the Senate concurred in passing the above Dill, K ith the amendments which had been made by the House of Representatives, and on Monday the Government would take measures for cartying it into immediate effect. " The Non-Intercourse Act is the next subject of Congressional consideration. 4' The returns of the Electoral Votes for the Pre sident and Vice-President were completed, and stand as follows : • FOR TILE PRI:SIM:NT.

Letters have been received in town from sever Officers, which say, that when the adverse weat h e r came on, the transports were directed, in case of dis persion, and the continuance of unfavourable winds, to proceed to Cork. If the wind should prove f a . vourable, they were, notwithstanding separation, to make for Cadiz, where the plans for their ulteilar objects would be arranged according to circumstanet,s. Of the dispersed ships, the public is already informed that the Henry and the Sarah put into Cork, and the Duchess of Richmond into Waterford. The Lord Hood, with the Staff, is arrived at Portsmouth. Th e remainder, consisting of 24 sail, with tile convoyi:l frigates, the lais and NIOBEt were, according to tie latest accounts, off Cork, with a south•w•est wind. The letters from the, Captain who has the charge cf the convoy, state his determination to persevere iu making for Cadiz without coming into port. ‘Vc are happy to say, that, though such continued baa weather has prevailed, no accident has happened n.. any ship belonging to the Expedition, with the excep. tion of the known ►nstances of the Weazle and the Primrose. No fires had been lighted on board the ships from a few days after their sailing. All on board hail been reduced to the necessity of subsisting on biscuit. On the Ist instant the Commodore wis off Cape Finisterre, with only 15 ships in company. In making for Cork, he was joined by nine of ti.e dispersed ships, and finding them not disabled fror continuing the voyage, he determined to resume I;;; course for Cadiz without loss of time. We under. stand, that though directed to proceed in the firs.. , instance to Cadiz, it is not expected that the troops. will occupy - that place, or that it will be necessity for them to give any aid to the Spaniards in that in. mediate quarter. It is thought likely that they wiii go into garrison in some of the ports in the Med.. terranean. Yesterday morning, being the Fast Day, his MA ) aesry, the Duke ofCUMBERLAND, Princesses Auousri, SOPHIA, AMELIA, and MARY, accompanied by Lady ELY, Generals CARTWRIGHT and MANNINGIIAM, rode to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and heard the Form of Prayer appointed for the day, and a Sermon, preached by the Rev. Dr. Cooic.sce. They afterwards returned to the Palace. The QUEEN, and Princess ELIZABETH, had the Form of Prayer , and Di vine Service, pe rformed: in the Palace.

The Lords present, were the Arch. bishop Of CANTERBURY, nine Bishops, the LORD CuaN cmon, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Lords Auciu AND, WALSINOHAM, and two other temporal Peers. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of CARLISLE, from the `pith chapter of Isaiah, 9th verse.

It is, however, admitted, that a number of persons, of considerable influence, have been suspected of a disposition to fa vour the enemy, several of whom had been appre hended, and others had effected their escape.
