We have received ,American papers and letters to the 7th

twenty-four days from ork. Their conte is pro, e,
beyond doubt, the determination of the American Ex-
. ecutive nud Lei;:iseiture, to persevere in the system of Erri.
• hargo, anti to add restrictions 'of a more hostile tendency
to an intercourse between the two countries. A Bill
passed the :ettate, which prohibits the exportation of spe-
cie, or goods of Foreign or domestic growth ; a viola-
tion of this law will be punished with a penalty of three
times the value of the article exported I and the informer
is. to be rewarded with half the fine. Every persmi evad-
ing this act, or employed in assisting the evasion, such as
supercargo, seamen, owner of tuerchaudize, or 'waggoner
will be deemed an abettor.
The Non-Intereours:! Bill has likewise been car.led with
a majority of 51. It was brought forward in the Rouse of
- Representatives on the )1111 of Dec. under the following
form
Resolved, That it is expedient to .prohibit, by law, the ad•
mission into the ports of the United States, of all public or pri-
vate awned or unarmed chips or vessels belonging to Great Bri-
tain, or France, or to any other of the Belligerent Powers,
having in forCe Orders or Decrees violating the la wful cOmmerre
of toe United States—and also the importation of any goods,
wares, merchandize, the growths produce, or manufacture of
the dominion:; of any of the said Powers, or imported from any
place in the possession of either.
It was followed by an unanimous resolution, that mea.
tures ought to he immediately adopted for placing the
country•ih a more complete state of defence. The Non-
Intercourse Bill is not to have the force of law until July
next. Congress, probably, hoping that in the interval
the Belligerents may be induced to relax, in favour of
American commerce, in the severity of their Decrees and
Orders in Council.- Some private accounts speak of a war
between America and this country as unavoidable.
It is reported that our Government is going to send out
immediate instructions to 'Air. ERSKINE. our Minister in
•- America. lie is said to receive orders therein to commu-
nicate to the,American Executive a willingness on our
. part, to withdraw our Orders in Council, provided the
Americans will-consent to certain conditions of a cern-
inercial nature.

Six additional .Bulletins have heeti transmitted is this
country, •aild in the usual manner. They contain a jour-
nal of the military events from the sth Jan. down, to the
30th. Ore of them is dated Valladolid, Jan. £6, and re.;
fors to some successes obtained over the Spaniards in the
neighbourhood of Aranjuez. In proportion as oar means
of obtaining, correct information become straitened, the
more the inventive genius of the enemy is happy in embel-
lishment. A nauseous description is then made of the
an xions desire of the citizens of Madrid' to see King Jos FPI!
restored to them ! The Bulletin ,conciudes. With stating,
that relays have been sent on the road towards Bayonne.
From this circumstance it may be inferred, that BONA PARTE
intends returning to Paris. . *

which our troops, as may.be --expected; were defeated
with great loss ; whilst that of the French was compara-
tively trifling. lie has explained, however, in a very
Mingling manner, the embarkation of Onr•troops,- which
could not have so expe !.ti,smisly taken place, had their de-
feat been so very decisive. We have so frequently adverted
