sion of their hopes. ' '
" Sire,--Fifteen years ago you saved prance :
you will now save it again.

A Paper has been published ill Paris under the
,title of " The Suppressed or the Double Moniteur
of the 20th Jan. 181-1."

It days ri.)t appear that this puhJic'atipnis sanc-
tioned by the Government, but it i 3 represented
in a preface to be a copy of a sheet of Morti-
teur of-the 20th, which was prepared for pUbliert-
tion, and afterwards suppressed',- as is supposed,
is consequence of thq arrival of it' Courier, With
the intelligence, that the linke of Sicenza would
receive. his Pass Torts on his arrival at Chatillon-
sur-Seine. This paper contains the Proclamation
of the Allies,, dated FrankfOrt,. Pecc.inber I.

French people, and Blucher's Proelamation to the
Inhabitants of the Left Bank of the Rhine, the
Retort of Baron de Saint Aignau, and a Corres-

This correspondence relates to the. opening of
a Congress for negociatiou, at which Vicenza was

" The Court of London"nas..cansed the Seere

Baron Saint Aigllan says in big report 4tilitils-
Go\iernment, on 'the 9th :Nov. that Count Met-

that nothing* was intended against the dynasty of

A►NIERICAN EMBARGO.

. On. this subject, the following a utLentic details
have been

On the 20th of December the inionction of se•!
crccy was .1.611m1:4' from the prior co-ofideotial
proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress ; 'and
tire following. is., the §uhstance• of the Embargo
Act :---

It orders, That an-Embargo be, and is hereby laid on all
ships" and vessels in ports and places within the lin4ts or jll-
- the United States, and the territoroes therel,
cleared or not cleared; -and that no 41earance be furnis4eil to
any ship or yesel, except vessels iu ballast, With their neces-
sary sea stores, under the immediate direction of the Presi-
dent of the United States; and that the President be autho-
rised to give the necessary instructions to the officers of the
revenue, and of the navy, &c. '

No foreign vessel is to take 0..-1 board ,a citkzen of the
United States: unless properly furnished with a paSsoort.
No Public armed vessels, or those possessing public.coty-
missions from any foreign power, are to be considered. as
liable to the embargo.
The 24 section provides against any person being engaged
directly or indirectly in evading the, Act 1)5, endeavouring to
favour the exportation of goods, therc4fidize, &c: from the
territories, of •Ailierica. Every perion convicted of this of-
fence is to 1u considered guilty of a bigh misdemeanour, and
nnell by the - court in,,whjeli the conviction takes place, rn'a
Shill coma to fpurstimes the value of 'such- specie, merchan-
dise, mii:'-irv,stores. &c. •

Section 3. Relates to vesselslailen,.or partly so, when the
Act is prom'ulgated.- Such Vessels are either to discharge
their cargoes, or give bond not to depart on theirdestination,
until nroperky'authorised for that purpose. ,In failure of

event, or in any other event t hat sl.all, in the opinion of the
President, render the termination of the embargo hereby im-
posed cornpati!dc with the public interest. The President of
the United States is hereby authorised to declare, by procla-
mation, that this act is to cease and have no effect."

After'some trifling amendments and alterations,
the Bilf passed—
TCas - 85 I Nays
• • The Embargo Act was preceded by a long Mes-
sage from the President,- assigning the reasons for
the measure. the principal of these was, that
the Commercial and Navigation Laws then in
1 °rex were of a tendency to favour the British,
and thereby prolong the war. Supplies of the
most essential kind, the Message suites, found
their way not only to British.. ports and British
armies, it a distance, but the armies in the neigh-
bourhood and even in many instances the fleets
and troops infesting the American coast were ac,
conittiodated and encouraged by supplies. On the
other hand, British goods towd their way into
American ports. It was, therefore, to remedy
evils,.that he recommended the at option of the
Embargo Act.
