On. this subject, the following a utLentic details have been On the 20th of December the inionction of se•! crccy was .1.611m1:4' from the prior co - ofideotial proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress ; 'and tire following. is . , the §uhstance• of the Embargo Act :--- It orders, That an - Embargo be, and is hereby laid on all ships" and vessels in ports and places within the lin4ts or jll - the United States, and the territoroes therel, cleared or not cleared; -and that no 41earan c e be furnis4eil to any ship or yesel, except vessels iu ballast, With their neces sary sea stores, under the immediate direction of the Presi dent of the United States; and that the President be autho rised to give the necessary instructions to the officers of the revenue, and of the navy, &c. ' No foreign vessel is to take 0..-1 board ,a citkzen of the United States : unless properly furnished with a paSsoort. No Public armed vessels, or those possessing public.coty missions from any foreign power, are to be considered. as liable to the embargo. The 24 section provides against any person being engaged directly or indirectly in evading the, Act 1)5 , endeavouring to favour the exportation of goods, therc4fidize, &c: from the territories, of •Ailierica. Every perion convicted of this of fence is to 1u considered guilty of a bigh misdemeanour, and nnell by the - court in,,whjeli the conviction takes place, rn'a Shill coma to fpurstimes the value of 'such- specie, merchan dise, mii:'-irv , stores . &c. • Section 3. Relates to vesselslailen,.or partly so, when the Act is prom'ulgated. - Such Vessels are either to discharge their cargoes, or give bond not to depart on theirdestination, until nroperky'authorised for that purpose. ,In failure of .cmnplianee with the one or the other of these regulatious, within ten gays, the vessels-and cargoes to-be forfeited.'

After'some trifling amendments and alterations, the Bilf passed— TCas - 85 I Nays • • The Embargo Act was preceded by a long Mes sage from the President, - assigning the reasons for the measure. the principal of these was, that the Commercial and Navigation Laws then in 1 °rex were of a tendency to favour the British, and thereby prolong the war. Supplies of the most essential kind, the Message suites, found their way not only to British . . ports and British armies, it a distance, but the armies in the neigh bourhood and even in many instances the fleets and troops infesting the American coast were ac, conittiodated and encouraged by supplies. On the other hand, British goods towd their way into American ports. It was, therefore, to remedy evils,.that he recommended the at option of the Embargo Act. NAVAL NEWS.
