Ab ases do exist in every government and the great est vigilance can scarce prevent their accumulation.

L ght vessels have arrived at Liverpool, laden with cot ton, m hich had escaped from America in violation of the Embargo Act. The Embargo Act, which i%issed on the th of January, contains a clause which enacts that aIF 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. One of the above vessels bas brought New-York Papers to the 11th ult.
