We fhall not attempt to reconcile all the points of the intelligence that has reached us from Plymouth with the contents of the above Bulletin. There is, however, no abfolute difagreement. The Volontaire may have gone on before the tell of the Beet, to pre• pare accommodations for their reception at the Cape. AMERICA. The American Journals and Letters by the Mail of yefterday, were delivered out lan night. The Bill, prohibiting the importation of Britifh manufaftures into the United States, has paled the Houle of Reprefentatives by a confiderable majority. The period fixed for the commencement of its opera tion, is the tsth of November. The Advocates for violent meafures wifhed to have the Bill to take effeft from the tft of July: the majority, however, de cided againfl them, and thus fufficient time is afforded for adjufling the exifting differences between the two countries. It is not clear, even, that this prohibi tory Bill will receive the fandlion of the Senate.— The American Government is apprifed of the recent political changes in this country, and it is not im• probable, but this proceeding may be fufpended until the difpofition of the new Adminillration fhall be underftood and afcertained. A letter from Wafhington, of the rft ult. from a Member of Congrefs, to a refpellable merchant, con. tains the 'following paragraph :—" It is no longer doubted, that the different-es between the United States and Great Britain, will ibe happily accents°. dated." There are other letters alas, to the 9.11 of April, which fpeak with great confidence of the adjuliment of all differences between America and Great Britain, and in which it is exprefsly Rated that they build their hopes of an accommodation 0 upon tome late advice' from the American Mini (ter at London." It thould be obtirved, that theft letter come from the, reit of the Legiflatnte, and are of dates tome days fubfequent to the palling of the prohibitory A. The points in difpute between Spain and the United States are likely to be amicably adjufled. The following is an extraft from a New York Pa. per of the 7th of April : " The Bingham, Capt. Wiwassscia, arrived at Philadelphia on the 4th of April, from Canton ; off the Cape fhe was boarded by the Its isonaaLa man of war. On the sad of March, in lat. as. long. 65. was boarded by the Cr.so AAAAA frigate, Captain Wick, r, who informed Captain W. that a French Iquadron, under Admiral GaNvic SA U 1141,11 ad captured the out ward bound China fleet from England." This account is evidently falfe, as certain advices have been received that the fleet was fern on the 24th of March, in lat. 29. long. 59. In a preceding column will be found extradsof every thing worthy of notice in the American newfpapets. The letters by the Lifbon Mail do not bring any interelling intelligence from Spain, Portugal, or Gibraltar. The letters from the latter place, are not of a later date than thole brcught by the Camel (lore !hip. Thole from Cadiz and Madrid are en dg!), filent with tepee to any attack upon Portugal. Mord Rosser FITZCIMALD, the Britt!): Ivlinilcr to the Court of Lifbon, was ez peeled to fail in a few days in one of his Majetly's frigates.
