Bill
B ; which was real a first titne, and erg fired to bt,
re-41.a second time to-morrow..
The CHANCELebit of the Excitectiaa in moving
that it be read a second time to-morrow, stated it to
be hiS intention to give 'every supPOrt to this Bill for
carrying it through- that House. But if the Hon..
Gentleman who was concerned in the measure did
not wish that 'it should proceed further, he should
feel that he had done his duty in bringing „it in,'
and the Hon. Gentleman might, if he thought it
right, suffer the Order of the Day to drOp., . .
Mr. Wm. SMITH exculpated the hien Hon. Gen:.
tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) from any
blame, for having given his Majesty's consent to the
introduflion of this business into the House, at, the
time that he candidly declared his intention to oppose
the claims.

After a few words from Mr. Adair, Mr. Bankes;
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Bill was.
ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND moved the
Order of the Day for the third reading of the ScotCh
,Tudicature Bill. On the question being ptit that the
sill be now read a third time; •

Mr. ADAM made some observations against the
measure, which was defended by the Lord Advocate.
The Bill was then passed.
The Woollen Penalty Suspension Bill was read a
third time, and passed.
Also thle Hop-hag Bill, the Sugar Distillery Duty'
Bill, the Irish Spirit Countervailing Duty Bill, and

'Consols . . 6g Omnium . .

WE this morning roceived American Papers to
the 13th nit. extratis from which will be found in our
subsequent Columns. The Embargo. has at length
.
produced some serious Insurreeions in America,
and the President has been under the necessity of
issuing a Proclamation against the Insurgents. It
appears that the Embargo is highly disapproved of
throughout the whole of the United States, and in
those parts where the inhabitants have not, had re-
murk to force to resist that law, the most inge-
nious and whimsical Devices have been resorted to
for the purpose of evading its operations.
The folloWitig observations upon the .Embargo
are extrnBed frbm a Paper which appears to be
strenuously attached to Mr..jEFFERSON'S Adrnini-

•
stration :
bat two alieinatives Offered theniselves :—a con-
tinuance of the. Embargo, or Wor. Serious as
flee evils attending the former are adirated to be,
those that could not fail to have ensued from the
latter have been justly cdnsiclerecl as much greater.
" Had we resorted to War—agatnst which Nis.
Con shoilld the Declaration have been made ? There
it 4 no one. so Quixotic at to say that War should
have been waged b'otli against Englatisiand France,
and their whole train. of Allies and Dependencies,
etabracing All the nations of Europe. If not against
both these Nations, where is the Casuist that could
be relied upon to decide which had entitled itself
to the distinaion of the first blow ? When
both had injured us so deeply, would it not have
acorn the appearance of partiality, perhaps of pu=
atllanitnity, to have exerted our energies against One;
at the very moment that we three/ ourselves in the
ilroas of the other
" Besides, what could we have gained by such 3

step.? Has France any thing to offer us in com-
pensation for the injuries ich would necessarily
be infliaed upon our 'Com tierce ,by the British
Navy, provided it were exposed to the perils of the
ocean, and we were the declared Enemies of Bri-
tain ) No man will say she has. And what has
14:nsland to offer for our going to war 'against her
rival Nothing but Colonial submission aml the
proatration of our commerce.

We received last night Dutch Papers to the gist
inst. from which we have extratied some very iqte-.
resting Articles. The great length of the Debate,
and the News from America, preventius from com-
menting upon them at length at present, but we
e4nnot avoid calling the attention of our Readers to
the Speech made by the Councillor of State RE,6-
NAIILT DE St. j'Eat4 D'ANGELY, as the grounds of
a Seautus Consultum fur uniting Tuseany to France,
because it points out in distin&, unequivocal terms,
the plans of universal dominion which BUONAPARTE
has formed. There is some slight allusion in these
rapers to the events which have taken place at Ca-
and, the Answer which, it is said, was sent by
the Captain-General to the gritish Commander.,
We cemmunicated the substance of this Letter to our
Iteaders
,some days ago.
. 13cONApAt1ra has'issued a Decree, which was
published at Itome on the Qtst ult. abolishing the
sovereignty of•the l'opE, and annexing the whOle of
the Ecclesiastical States to the Kingdom of Italv
•
The reason he gives for this daring att of oppression
towards the Head of the Roman Catholic Chu! ch,

and tvincli lannot out sitaie hic, awn authority in
the mind of every follower of the Roman Catholic
Faith, is, that the Roly Fattier constantly refused to
declare war against the English. This event has, we
are assured, been for some time expefted by his iti-
liness, and we have been assured also that fie was
advised, hi case itshOuld at lait happen, to excom-
municate the ierench Ruler--a measure le which it
Would not be wonderful if fie shbuld rietiiallk resort,
, . .
as it is well known that he has eXpresied a deep
regret that lie Should haVe been induced to-take a
journey to France for the purpose Of crowing an
Usurper. Indeed this transgtion had operated so
strongly Upon the mind of ,the Holy Father, that if
driven to an exto-,mity, he was confidently extietaed
to resort to such a measure of atonement and many
'persbns in Rome bad begun to speculate on its pos-
sible result, in all countries where the Roman
Ca-
tholic-Religion is preiltiminadt. By the above 1:)L.
ei•ee, all 'Cardinals; Prelate's, and Oilier. 'Officers of
'the famish Court, born in the Kingdoin of Italy,
Were ordered to retire to the place of their birth.,
'before the fifth of thii month, en pain of forfeiting
all their property.

Ws have keen fairotired with the perusal of a
Letter from Halifax, dated the tit inst. which con-
firms the accounts in the American Papers of the
diiiatisfaelton which prevails in the Northern Pro-
vinces of the United States; respecting the Embargo.
On the 3oth ult. -fifteen ships sailed,frorn Halifax
for the West Indies,, laden 'with flour. This LetteL
mentions the report to which we alluded yesterday►
of a French SquadrOn having arrived at St. Angus-
tine, and landed 4500 crien ; but it adds, that the
report came in so vague a shape that no credit was
attached to it. Indeed
.it is well known that the
harbour of St. Augusti►le ts.a bar harbour, and that
ships of large size cannot enter it. '

A very interesting Conversation took' place• last
night, in the House of Commons, in consequence of
some questions proposed byMr. W HITEREAD to
his Majesty's Mitsisters,- and which received most
sarisfaelory answers from Mr. CANNING. 'One
of the questions propsed related to the .inaCii-
vily of the Force sent to the assistance of the
KING of SWEDEN, under the command of Sir
JOHN .MOORE. • Mr. CANNING stated, that the
"Armament was sent to the assistance • of the
KING Of SWEDEN, and .of course to co-operate in
such plans of warfare as he might aired: it; in
the interval which has relapsed since the fitting out
of the Expedition, considerable changes had taken
place in the postures Of affairs and in tile Military
Councils of Sweden, that circutnstanca alone would
be sufficient to account for the inactivity of our
Armarnentlwithout .any blEime 'being attributable to
the Bi itish Government.

the orders they had received, forced their way. into
the house of the Marquis,. in the dead of the night,
and murdered, in cold bleod, every person they dis-
covered, amounting to upwards.of thirty.
Yesterday being Midsummer‘day, a Common-hall
was held at Guildhall, for the eleaion of Sheriffs,
Chamberlain, and other Officers, usually-chosen on
that day.—Alderman J. J. SMITH, and C. S. HUN-

The following CirCular Letter has been addressed
to the General Officers commanding the several Mi-
litary Districts in South Britain :

• " SIR, " Horse Guards, !WIC 23, 1898.
" I have received the Commander in Chief's direetions to
signify to you his Royal H igliness's approbation of your using
your discretion in granting permission to a certain portion of
the regular Infantry and Militia Troops stationed in the Ms-
t rid wider yoUrconstmindenotexceeding in number thefourth
part of any battalion, kraissistin settin in the Hay and

proaching Corn Harvest. Hia. Royal highness wishes that
this indulgence should be grimed with great caution, and to
such men only as are to a certain degree perk& in their exer-
cise, and whose characters entitle them to-confidence. Coin-
mantling Officers of kepi-news must be responsible that their
men are not permitted to work at a greater distance than two
days' march from the camp or quarters and that the Adju.
tam makes himself aciAtinted with the names and places of
abode of the persons with whoni they work, who must be
responsible that, on the shortest notice, every man repairs
immediately to his company.

MANCHESTER, JUNE "22,-4 am .extremely sorry
to say, that the ming:tory weavers have met again
this day, and evinced a more turbulent disposition
than at any period of the dispute. They have burnt
in effigy several respeOable matmfa6lureri, whom
they`deem the most hostile to their claims, and
stopped every loom in that part of the town which
is unfortunately the scene of their unlawful meet-
ings. Many pieces of different goods have-been ma-
liciously destroyed by means of spirit of vitriol or
aqua-fortis, which they artfully convey to the looms
through the medium of a syringe, from which the
destruCtive ingredient is squirted through the broken
panes in the win6lows ; sometimes it isidropped upon
the baEs•hung over workmen's shoulders, containing

. .
ttrxe Yoatc, MAY 12.—The Froclam!ltion of t
I'.resident evinces that a number of the inhabitao
of VOrmont have opposed the Ethbergo Act
~,ftto.
•strenuausly, that' coercive measures are requisite
for the preservation of Order. This instance oldis-
taffection will, no doubt, be considerably exagger-
ated- by the papers in England, and, the ad..
herents of those "who are inimical to *Out Union.
13ut. when. so many instances occur, is it to be
wondered at, that we should be called a divided.!
people ? 'The proofs.of the assertion are fop Palpa-
ble. piiiy evidence thews that ahere
,are designing
atrionuts whose aim is to. excite discoidaud
rebellion, and as the EMbargo Decree operates se.:.
verely upon individual interests, it is made the bug-
bear Of party and the text for. sedition.
The inhabitants of Vermont are distingulehed for
their habits of itidnitry and - Those who
inhabit near the boundary lines carty on a con-
siderable traffic in brandjr, cbrn, and pot ,
Thus situated; like all new traders, they
,mast re-
ceive considerable advances from those merchants
with whom they deal, Who reside principally, in
Canada. 'Nothing but the itittrthption of,coaner-
cial transactionh has occasioned this disaffection, al-
though by ditrerent partizans it has eeti auiibuted
to other causes. Semi have ascribed it to the;
trigues of BURR; and ..e;:ett to a getwal wish among
•the people, to sever froth the tlleou,' and to esta-
blish an independent separate Gaferinneet;.
It is a certain fact, that the majority of the inha-
bitants of the frontiers are not possessed. of real pro-
perty, and, are. gefie'rally of a restless cf.racter.
They do not feel the effects of civilization in the
same degree as the inhabitants of the interior, ow-
ing to their habits of life and local situation. The
vast range of country before them, and the predo-
minancy which they posess over the native Indians,
with irlioth they are inthabits of
,intittiacy, gives theft]
an ides Of independency which continually increases.
Should the laws I* put in force against them for of-
fences of ally nature, they cite easily retire among
the Indian tribes, and the change w,III nut be sensi-
bly felt by them, as they havebeen so long acCastom-
ed to a wandering life, znd the customs and manners'
of the Indians are so correspondent with those -in
which they have been practised.
A Variety of modes haire. been adopted to elude
.the operation of the late Ads. We ham been lu-
firmed, that some have adopted the following strata-
gem. A hill is seteded,, which stands ()tribe bound,
ary line of Vermont and Lower Canada—On the top
a slight building is erected, in winch barrels, pipes,
and other articles are deposited. The construction
of the house is Such; that oh the removal of a stone
or a piece of wood, the whi)le edifice with-its con-
tents immediately falls on the British territory, by
which means, although appare... ly accidental, the
laws aft. evaded, and speculations to a large amount
made by the execution of the scheme. ,
To speak 'earelidly, in a free Goveinrtient, if is
very difficult to enforce the laws, where personal
interest is so Much concerned as in our country.—
It is a lamentable- 'circumstance that' national pa-
triotism is in the United States so often sacrificed at
the shrine of avarice. •
The arrival of General Mount/. at Charlestown
must do away the unjust suspicions and surmises
which have been industriously circulated to his pre-
judice, from motives of a sinister and secret nature.
Prom whatever motives his integrity and intentions
have been assailed, we hope'that those Who have il-
liberally attacked his character, will now, when cOti-
yinced of his upright dealing, exonerate him from
the charges which they have alledged against him,
the intention of which may easily he penetrated.
APRIL 28.—Yesterday arrived the Ship Entir-
prite, WATKINS; 82 days from the Isle of France.
On the 22d of February; off the Cape of .Good
Hope, spoke the' French Frigate La Caroline', from
Europe, standing to the eastward, full of Men.—
This may possibly be the Frigate that was said to
have sailed from France with 200 OiIiCCIS and En-
gineeri On board.
MAY 4.—lt was ctirrently reported yesterday even-
ing that a French Avis() had arrived in the. Delaware
from St. Domingo, with 'Dispatches from General
FERRAND to the *French Ambassador General TOR-
REAU, Illeationing, that ftom the scarcity of pro-
visions, he would be,obliged to evacuate the island
with the French Garrison, and the Colonists.--The
situation of the. General would be the more alarm-
ing; at we oannot discover how he could provide for
the means of carrying off his troops and the French
families.

RV TUE. tatelDINT OF Ina UNITZD srArss,
A PROCLAMATION. •

Whereas information has been received that sundry persons
arc combined, or combining and confederating tbgether, on
Lake Champlain, and the country thereto adjacent, ter the
purposes of forming insurredions against the authority of
the laws of the United States, for opposing the same and
obstruding their 'execution ; and that stic‘h combinations are
too pmverful to be suppressed by the ordinary.course of ju-
dicial proceedings or by the powers vested in the Marshals by
the law:of the United States :

I4oW, therefore, to the end that the authority of the laws
may be maintained, and that • those concerned, dimply or in-
directly, in any insurreaion or combination against the same/
troy he duly warned-1 have issued this my Proc,lamation,
herebreommanding such insurgents, and all concerned in
such combinations, instantly and without delay to disperse
and retire peaceably to theirrespeetive abodes.
And 1 do hereby further require and command all officers
having.authority civil or military, who shall be found with.
,in the vicinage of such insurreCtiOns or combinations, to be
aiding and assisting, by all the means in their power, by
force of arms, or otherwise, to quell and Subdue such insur.
reaions or combinations, to seize upon all those therein con.
cerned•who shall not Instantly, and without delay, disperse
and retire to their respeaive abodes, and to deliver them
• (Wei to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against
according to law.

By the Presi!ent,
I AMES M xutsoti, Secretary of Sate.

Extra& of a Letter from a Gentleman in Sockstown, (Han.
cock County, Mc.) to his Friend in Portland, dated April
39,
" The situation or our part of the country is tidy
alarming. The people being deprived of the profits
of their labour, iu consequence of the Embargo, our

_"

traaers dare not trust them ; neither can they pos`t.
bly pay for those things which .they must have, or
they and their families 4utfer. At. Frankfort the
traders do not think it safe to have stores of, cortl
and flour on hand. They cannot credit them, and
the back settlers say they will have them at any
rate, if ,they use force.

Civil prosecutions are stopped in, many places.
Last Friday a Sheriff' was assaulted 'hart; at Frank
fort, his papers demanded, with a cocke,l gun pre-
sented to his breast, threatening bin wan instant
death if he refused ;' he complied—they ;earthed
his pcicket-book, took whartheyelion,:and released,
lam, threatening • him with death, if ever he came
that way With precepts again'. They took five or
six wait a in his possession. They Say that two of
the lawyers offices in-Frankfort must be destroyed.
I think this will not be done, though we have some.
reason to fear it. , •

" About, four miles from Frankfort, there were
seen 400 colleaed in one Wily, all in Indian dresses,
ready for any enrerprize that might appear for their
advantage. The surveyors'of land dire not attempt,
any business for fear tif being shot. When or ho.v
this will end,lnotle can tell but him who rules the
destinies of Nations', 'end orders all thlug according
to his pleasure—on • his arm are we depenOut

Mustc,—The adMirable Concerts, under the,,di-
reaion of Budai•iti'roN, NALm, and RRAII/11‘1,
concluded for the season last night, at WILLIS'S
Rooms, and certainly a more pleasing, asi wall as
scientific amusement of the kind; has never been
presented to the Public. These' Concerts, as might
have been expeaed; were chiefly characterized by
vocal performances, yet they were occasionally di-
versified by instrumental Pieces, which were given in
the best manner by an excellent Band, conducted by
\\Talcum- The Vocal, Performers last night, in
addition to"the powerful aid of the Conductors; were
Messrs. BIANCHI' ROVEDINQ, Goss, VAUGIIAN,' and
BELLAMY. NALDI was encored in his humorous song
Sa• the Si., a composition of his own, and which
he sung with, exquisite ability. The pleasant Duet
of Son Lavaliere, was so well given by Mrs. BIL4`
LINGTON and NALDI, that it was also encored. But
we have not space to particularize the various excel-
lencies that marked the Concert, which was warmly
applauded by a very numerous and elegant .audienec,,
among whom were the. Duchess of YORK, the Duke
of Sossax; &c. • ,
RAPID TRANSPER.—A curious circumstance at-
tended the Concert last night at Wir.us's Roonv,
• While a distinguished visitor was quietly listening to
the strains of Mrs. BILLING:roN' two well-known
legal perSnnages, named. John Doe and Richard,
Roe, seized his. carriage; which was waiting at
the door; one mounted the box; the other hum-
bly took his station behind, and they drove ,olf
in spite of all remonstrances and intreaties. The
Owner, on being- informed of the event, quitted the
room to inquire into the particulars, but. son aftei
returned, Apparently as composed'as if it were an or-
dinary circutnstande, or such as might naturally have
been expeaed. . ,
