Upon our re-admission to the Gallery, we found
Sir THOMAS TURTON on his legs, urging the propriety
of vcepting the coffee of St. Domingo from the ope-
ration of the clause relative to a duty upon that arti-
cle,. on this ground, that several merchants had spe-
culated to a considerable extent in this article, under
an impression that it would not become subject to the
provisions of the Orders in Council. With a view,
therefore, to protect such men from ruin, the Hon.
Baronet moved an Amendment, in substance as fol-
lows-" That no goods, &c. the growth or produce
of-St. Darning°, which may come into this country
under 'any licences granted previous to the passing of
this Act, should be subject to the duties prescribed in
tables A. and B." ,
After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER and Mr. Des-r, against the proposition,
the Gallery was cleared, and we understand that the
Amendment was lost without a division.
Ou our return into the Gallery, the House had re-
sumed, and the Chairman of the Committee reported
progress, and obtained leave to sit again this day.
Adjourned at half-past one o'clock.

We are informed that letters "from SI. Pet eisburgh
of the 26th ult. (N.S.) state, that the English
still
remaining in Russia have by no means-given np the
hope of receiving passports to enable theta to return.
The schooner Sea-Tar k, Lieutenant 13-AnKs, which
was sent by Vice-Admiral RUSSELL as a flag of truce to.
the Ten!, to inquire into the particulars of the loss of
his Majesty's ship Flora, arrived on Monday at Yar-
mouth. We understand that Lieutenant BANKS was
the bearer of a private letter from Captain PAGET of
the Goliah, commanding the blockade of the Texel,
to Captain BLAND of the Flora ; but the Dutch offi-
cer who came out to meet the schooner would not
allow her to proceed, and also refused to receive the
letter, which was open, and contained only intelligence
relative to Captain BLAND'S family. He saidi* his
orders were, to permit no sort of communication,
whether public or private, with any vessel coming
from England. Lieutenant BANKS was, therefore,
under the necessity of returning with. only this infor-
rnation—., That the Flora had been wrecked on the
coast of Holland, and that every person on board
had been saved !"

Some private letters were yesterday ed•from
America. They state, that Mr. Roses reception at
Washington was of the most flattering description ;
in addition to which the letters by the Dublin Mail
mention the rtceipt of advices from the United States
of a very recent date. One of the reports resting on
this authority is, that in consequence of the represen-
taticms of Mr. Rosy., who landed at Washington; on
the 6th ult. and had several interviews with 'the Exc.
cutive, an order had been issued for the. removal of
the embargo, and a suspension, after a certain date,
of the Non-importation Act. We are sorry to be
under the necessity of expressing our dotibts of the
accuracy of these statements.
