On the 18th of March, Mt. LEVEIMORI, in the
House of Representatives, moved fur a repeal of the
Embargo. He said, it must be acknowledged
that we were pretty much in the dark on the sub-
ject of our foreign relations; ban it might be natu-
rally ififirred ff one the proceedings of the Hoare,
during jlas present Session, that there was oo ea-
pectation of a war with Great Britain. With
respect to Franco and Spain, it appeared from
the PaEstoExtr's Message of yesterday, that we
were in a state of war with both of them ; the
late decree, of those Coverntoents were tanta-
mount to a declaration of wilt against all neutral
nations. The embargo was a bad way of *hewing
oar resentment. When that measure should be
fairly examined, it would be found that the loss
thereby brought upon the people of the United
States was astonishing. On a very moderate cal-
culation, the profits arising from our imports and
ex ports might be;estinsated at one hundred millions
of dollars, exclusite of duties, which ainounted to
sixteen millions. if the embargo continued for one
year, the lOW ctould not lee lees than fifty milliatioi
err goiters. The number of people thrown out of
employ by the measure, was about two hundred
thoseand ; how these were to obtain subsistence he
could not determine.
The House refused to take Mr. Levanstoax's
Resolution into consideration. Yeas 2.1-11 aye 84.
The proceedings in Congress are not interesting.
They emir down to the 7th inclusive, on which
day tlie Bill for musing an rulditional military
force wan passed in the House of Representatives.
The Session was to close on the 15th of April.
The ambiance am not expected to be raised be-
fore that period, and it was not known whether
a discretionary power, for that purpose, would be
vested in the PaEstIlL%T. The public clamour
against this country had, in a great measure, wits-
sided, and there is very little notice of the discon-
tent and distress occasioned by the embargo.

Cr JOHN NEWPOlees motion, last night, in the
House of Commons, fur the admission of Cathu-
lies the di►ection of the Bank of Ireland. was
negatived by only a majority of three. This is a
new proof of the rapid progress that is making in
the dispersion of those clouds of prejudice which
have so long floated iu our political atmosphere,
and threatened to burst upon the two islands.in
terror and desolation. A Bill is to be brought
is immediately for the renewal of the Charter of
the Bank of Ireland, in the progress of which the
swine question will occur again. and, we confi-
dently hope, will be crowned with success. What
has the Catholic religion to do with commercial and
financial affairs ?—lt is almost idle to ask the
question—We answer, " Nothing."
