Sr. THOMAS, Nov. 17.— ,4 For theSe four weeks Idling has been suffered to enter the port, and those in have ventured out have been captured and de- In fact, we have undergone the most rigo system of blockade. A day or two since, the niral has permitted American vessels, with their I ciliary produce, or in ballast, to pass unmo nl; and I am at length furnished with an oppor ity to write you, though it is by the round-about !of Boston or Portsmouth."

The Captain, a Mr. Richard Large, merchant Surinam, and principal consignee of the cargo, • one of the crew, perished on hoard after she k.

In consequence of this threat, and the intercession of the merchants, the trade has interdicted. took out of the harbour the Swedish brig St. I. &mew's, whose cargo was valued at . 10,000 • and the American schooner Randam, of Bal ire, on suspicion of her being bound to St. Do r.

Mr. Monroe has arrived—there is a report favogiuble that way. Both Houses have closeddoeis this day-- : -1 and a Council has been held for four days past." ANOTHER.—We have just read another letter from Washington, dated the same day at three o'clock in the afternoon, which states that Congress had been debating with closed doors until that hour. After mentioning the arrival of Mr. Monroe at Norfolk, the letter adds—" We are also just informed that the British Envoy is in the river below." The American Papers announce the arrival of Mr. NloNitoz at Norfolk, Virginia, on the 14th ult. Pri vate letters state, that *" Mr. Mormos: expressed much surprise at the tone and high irritation discoverable here, as the Government and People in Britain were so adverse to a war with us." The House of Representatives of New Jersey hat presented to Mr. Javransorr an address, full of invec tives against England. Mr. JEFFERSON has announced his resolution to re sign, in an answer to an address from the Legislature . of Pennsylvania. • The following is the answer al luded to : TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY . 01? PENNSYLVANIA. " I received, in due season, the address of the Ge neral Assembly of Pennsylvania, under cover from the Speaker cf the two Houses, in which, with their approbation oft he general course of my adniinistration; they were so good as to express their desire that I should consent to be proposed again to the public voice, on the expiration of my present term of office : entertaining, as I do, for the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, those sentiments of high respect which w7elld have prompted an immediate answer ; I was certain, neve.theless, they would approve a delay which had for its object to avoid a premature agita tion of the.public mind, on a subject so interesting as the election of the Chief Magistrate. " That I should lay down my charge, at a proper period, is as much a duty, as to have borne it faith fully. If some termination to the service of the Chief Magistrate be not affixed by the Constitution, or supplied by practice, his office, nominally for 'years, will, in fact, become for life ; and history shews f:uw easily that degenerates into an inheritance. • " Believing that a representative government, re- Sponsible at short periods of elections, is that which produces the greatest sum of happiness to mankind, I feel it a duty to do no act which shall essentially im pair that principle ; and I should unwillingly be the person's ho disregarding" the sound precedent set by an illukribus predecessor,. should furnish the first ex anipje Of-prolonging heyond the second term of office. • "Truth also 'requii• . s me to add, that I am sensible of that "decline which advancing years bring on—and feeling their physical, I ought not to doubt their mental effect ; happy, if I am the first to perceive and to obey this admonition of human nature, and to "solicit a retreat from cares too great for the wearied faculties of age. " For the approbation which the General As sembly of Pennsylvania has been pleased to express of the principles and measures pursued in the manage- Ments cf their affairs, I am sincerely thankfal ; and lhould I . be so fortunate as to carry into retirement the equal approbation and good will of my fellow citizens generally, it will be the comfort of my future days, and will close a service of forty years with the Only reward it ever wished. " THOMAS JEFFERSON:" " December 10, 1607." The • great length of our parliamentary report yes terday obliged us to be very brief in our notice of the contents of the Dutch, and Hamburgh and Altona papers that had arrived. A fresh order of embargo has been issued by NAPOLEON. No vessels whatever are to sail from the ports under his controul. The letters from Holland say, that TA LLEYRAND has not been there, and state, that General Briantrn is to be rewarded for all his services, by becoming the 'Monarch or Chief Magistrate of Switzerland. They mention also, that the famous ex-Bishop and ex-Mini .ster TALLEYHAsn is about to arrive at the high dig nities of sovereignty, exchanging the pastoral staff he _once held for the sceptre, and the mitre for the regal ' crown. He is to succeed the family of BRAGANZA in Portugal. Yesterday Earl A YLVSFORD, the Lord Steward, waited upon his MAJF.s-rv, at the Queen's Palace, with his white wand of office, and presented the Address i of the House of Lords. 1 .Wimanst DALRYMPLE, Purser of the Skylark . sloop 1 of war, is appointed to the Tromp, of 50 guns, at I Falmouth. It is much to be lamented that a remedy, which has been administered in putrid fever with almost in , variable success, is not better known,. or • more fre.. 1 quently resorted to. It possibly might lia.ve saved the life of that amiable and interesting young Nobleman, Lord. TRAFALGAR. The remedy we allude to is the I carbonic acid gas, in the form of yeast, one amongst many of the valuable discoveries for which the world' lis indebted to the Rev. •Dr. EDMUND CARTWRIGLIT..I 1 In the spring of the year 1806,.tw0 sons of the present Archbishop of YORK were both seized with putrid-le i ver at the same time. When every other remedy hid failed, and they were.givsn over 'by the faculty, the: yeast was resorted to. The elder was unfortunately too far gone to have .the power of swallowing.

General Mooru commands. It will not start, however, till inteUi- gence is received from the Brazils.

The Carabineers and 17th Light Dragoons, lately returned from South America, are now on the march through Sussex. The 17th Dragoons, along with i some other troops, will speedily be embarked for India. The arrival of Lieutenant-General. Sir JOTIK Cn AD DOCK from Madras, is daily looked • for. General MAcuowF.l.l. commands, aJ interim, in the Madras army, and General BELL ASIS that at Bombay, but a Commander in Chief will soon be sent out to each Presidency. Within these few days summonses have been sent to different parts of Ireland and Scotland, for evi dences to attend the Court Martial on General Witartocx, which, it is now stated, will commence on the '2Bth instant. There are four charges ay.' , st Getrral LOCKE, the last of which only incurs the penalty of death, if found guilty. 1. The first for having summ-meil the civil, as well as the mi litary ;authorities of Buenos Ayres to . surrender, by which the minds of the people were unnecessarily alienated.from our cause. '2. For Avant of n.ilitary ji:dgment, and of delay in the manner of ~ d vaticing to the place. 3. fur want of military judgment in the division of his army i!it6 columns, and ordering them to march into the place without loaded stina--without communication—and without receiving in sin% etioni, &c.

In consequence, it is said, of a misunderstanding between General LINIERS and the chief Civil Magis trate at Buenos Ayres ; the whole country bad been. convulsed. Two attempts to assassinate I.ISIERS , Ihad been made—the cause, Spanish jealousy of the Frenchmen. , The 4Oth regiment, recently arrived from Sicily,. has marched into the barracks at Brabourn Leis. The 2tl battalion of the 6th regiment has marched from Ospringe to Maidstone ; and the ttd battalion of the 52d regiment will succeed the 6th, at Ospringe. Thursday evening, four troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards marched into Reading, from Basingstoke, on their route to the interior, and the next morning pro ceeded forward to Wallingford ; they were employed in the expedition against Buenos Ayres, where they , suffered considerably. The Ist battalion of the 52d Regiment marched • into the infantry barracks in Canterbury, in three di visions, on Saturday, Monday,. and Tuesday last, e also the first division of the 2.1 battalion of the 78th was expected to arrive this day. • Tuesday a detachment of the Ist' battalion orthe 74th Regiment, , commanded by Lieutenant M.Qtwo, marched to Greenock, to relieve the party of the 2d battalion of the 91st• regiment, who marched on Wednesday for Ayr. ..
