port is given in nut preceding columns. The ease
is likely to end as every good end loysl sultjett

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

Windsor being blown up by the floods. Ili. MA•

behave well to our troops. On their arrival in the
villages, thoy generally found 'tie houses shut, and
our troops were obliged to break open the doors to
get quarter's, and those of the most wretched 110.

once. Many of the stragglcn4, in a Weak and far
