Until the conclusion, we feel ourselves, howeeet, restriettAl from indulging in observations. A Mail from Net, York arrived, yesterday, with papers to the tali . of January, containing• the report of the proceedings in Uniigress to Tuesday the •td. Neither the Nou-Intercourse Bill nor the Bill for enforcing the Embargo Los, .had been passed into a law at that anti. The Embargo Bill had been read a first awl second tiwe, and was in a Committee.. The A'on•lntrrcnurse Bill had been read a first sod •eresad time, and reported. The SE4RETAar of STATE, in a Financial Report laid before Cthigrcs,statti6,•• that thesystem then. in force, mid war, however dissimilar in some respects, are both considered us resistance ; nor is it believed that their effect upon internal wealth and public revenue would be materially different." Ile also suggests that the ordinary supplies would be equal to the ordinary expenses, and that if extraordinary expenses should he necessary, iu the present state of• the country, where there was so much capital locked up by the restrietions'on trade, it would be more advisable to raise them by a loan. than Co have recourse to taxes. The Not-Intercourse, and the Supplemental Embargo Bills, although strongly opposed, have, no doubt, before this time, been passed into law-; ; aml it appears to be a prevailing opinion that they must soon lea(' to open war. A measure has been Mtn:shared in contemplation of that result. It is a plan fur immediately raising an army of 30,000 teen. A Irteekition to this effect has passed the Ilouse of itepreventatives. The I I Ili Section of the Nou-Intercourse Bill pro vides, that if Great Brituiti or France revoke or mo dify their orders or decrees, so as to make American commerce safe in the opinion of the l'axstut:ST, of which revocation orniodifieutioo he shall give public notice; the operation of this Act, and of the Em bargo Law-, shall cease and deter as to the country so revoking or modifyint, without, how ever, any reiuiss•' of previous line* or forfeitures. His MAJESTY did not come to toan, yesterday, as was expected, owing to the Ferry at Datchet not yet being in a state for carriages to he ferried over, and the bridge which separates Eton and Windsor being blown up by the floods.
