NSW YORK, FEB. i t.L—Tua DlCTAToxsults.
Under. this head, the Freeman's Jdurnal has given
an article, accusing the President of illegally con-
troling the business of the Post Office Department.
" So glaring and so gross," ,say, the Editors of
.the Journal, " is the violation Of the Constitution
and the Laws, that it was once intended' to ex-
hibit it as, a. solemn article of impeachment at the
Bar of the House of . Representatives of the United
States. But, et a crisis, so awful as the present;
and when the President hal but a few days ti)
remain in office, it has been deemed most proper,
upon mature ,refledion, to arraign the offender be-
fore the August Tribunal of the Sovereign People of
the [Jolted States."

1•:cw-Yottx, FEn. 1 t .—The Caucus at Washing-
ton, on Monday evening, was rather a public than
a private meeting. The doors were 'not closed.
Several moderate' republicans. and one federalist at-
tended. Mr. thin Made an able speech, in a style
compassionate
,and conciliatory towards the Eastern
people. Messrs. EPPES' arid 3: G. J cxsox aban-
doned the war system. It was decided by 61 votes
to 2, to Repeal the Embargo on the 4th of March.
Messrs. BASSET and TAYLOR were the dissentients.
It was decided not to issue letters of marque.
The questiOn 'for Armed Commerce was fairly left
open. for decision in the House. The Volunteer
Army Bill was given up. A Non-intercourse Law,
is to be passed, to take etfe.Cl at a distant day, if an-
other effort for Peace shall fail. An Army of six-
teen thousand men is to be raised, and the Executive
is to be authorized to borrow ten millions of dollars.
We do not approve this system' in 1 its parts.
• Bat we are-inclined to believe it will preserve the
peace of: the country,. at least with Great Britain.—

Now YORK, TEL 13.-.-Our dates from the seat
of Govemthent are no later than 8 o'clock on Thurs-
day evening. The proceedings ot that,day furnish a
melancholy disappointment to an oppressed and suf-
fering community.
Many of our Citizens were highly elated at the
prospea of a speedy removal'of the Embargo.—Tbe
prospect has vnished.--.Through the influence of
Mr. 'JEFFERSON, a Illptiala ‘was offered on Thursday
to discharge the:Committee of the, #hOle on the
Resolution for the repeal of the Embargol and was
carried by 65 to 55.
A motion was then made. to 'refer the subje& to
the Committee,ofForeign Relations. .This was also
carried, 65 to 36 ; and there the business, which
had excited such cheerihg hopes throughout par
country, remain undisturbed through the re-
mainder of the session.- It will there., Matt proba-

" NEW-YVAIKA Fab; i9.—Letrers from Wasll-
- received this morning, whlels stale that
the NOn•lntercoutite 'Bill had not passed, as stated
in the New-York Gazette of the 18th instant;
and it is confidently stated, that the Bill will not,
pass in its 'present state. The bleak on. the Addi—
tional Duty Bill 'is settled and filled up; it is rated
at 50 percent. on the. former. duties; it WAS carried
in the House by a small majority, and it is not,el-,
peeled to pass the other ifouse. - •

WAiiIINCIT- clecided
to 51, tp resume the COitaideraticirt of NiCrier:o's
and BAcON's Resolutioni'. The .leading Cincossers
Were in the minority.. They wished to talze up the
Appropriation .13i11: From this vote, evidently ,an
anti-caucus one, it is not certain that the Non-In,
tercourse System, although,' adopted in caucus, will
obtain a majority in the. House.

Mr. SLOAt 'spoke at length in opPosition to wir

like measures.

Mr. COOK and Mr. Lyow followed on the sartie

The cluestion was taken, to strike out that part of
the Resolution which proposes
,issuing Letters of
Alarque and Reprisal, and carried in the affirmative

CONGRESS.—HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, FEB. H.
The Appropriation Bill was read a third time and
•
pasted, -
The Bin- for opening a .Ciinal in the City of Wash-

trigton was passed.
Mr. NrcuoJ,As, from the Committee 'of Exterior
Relations, (Mr. G. W. CAMFBELL being sick) re-
ported " A Bill; .1111 Curnmercial
tercourse between the United States and Great Bri-
tain and France. and their dependencies, and for

other purposes."
The following is a summary of the provisions of
the Bill.
• All armed ships or vessels of Great Britain and
France are interdialed from entering our ports, from
the passing of the aa.
Unarmed vessels are to be interdiele.d, from and
after the day of next.
Importations of'British and French goods, wares,
and marchandize, are to cease atter the xuth of May
next.

If either Britain- or France shall,revoke the Or-
ders or Decrees violating our neutral rigliti,-the ope-
ration of the law as it respeas the power revoking,.
should forthwith cease. •
As it respeas all other countries, the Embargo ,is
to be repealed on the 4th .6f March.
Vessels sailing after the removal of the Embargo,
are to give 'bonds in double the amount of the Ves-
sel and cargo, not to violate the provisions of the
Non-Intercourse Law.
The Bill was made the Order of the Dv for
Tuesday.
The Bill has been reported much earlier than was
expeaed. The 4th of March is certainly the day
which has been finally. fixed on for the repeal of the
Embargo.
