ylr,llliaOltou, the 13riti,11 Consul, then sent, an ex-
press to Mr. Erskine, who acquainted Mr. Mayison
of the circumstance, and orders have been sent off.
Though I pray HEAVEN it may, I have my fears that
the Envoy's mission will not be • successful. The
executive seems determined on war rather than admit
the right of England to take British subjects from
neutral merchant vessels.
A Journalist says : 4, The report, that Mr. Rose
remains on board the Statira for certain explanations,
is confirmed by the Intelligenter. The absence of
the Collector of Norfolk prevented the explanations
being given, which regarded the President's Procla-
mation, whether the entrance of the frigate was pro-
hibited. A vessel with an Envoy is certainly not ex-
cluded." ,

BOSTON, JAN. 7.
The arrival of Mr. Rose, the British Envoy, must
soon determine the question, whether the distresses of
the embargo are to be of long continuance ; and the
American people will have a full opportunity of
judging whether their own essential interests, and the
peaceful mission of one foreign nation, are to be
countervailed and set aside by the ►nfluence of another.
Already are the effects of the embargo so sensibly
felt by the labouring classes, that the Corponaion of
New York were proposing means of employing the
cartmen, mechanics, and labourers of that city, so
as to give bread to their distressed families, at this
inclement season of the year.
Letters from Gentlemen of the first intelligence at
Washington, received at Philadelphia, mention, with
considerable confidence, an expectation of the seat of
Government being removed to that city.
JANUARY 11.-Mr. Rose, the English envoy, has
actually arrived at Norfolk, but had not reached
Washington at our last accounts (Saturday, Jan. 2),
though hourly expected. Some letters received. at
Philadelphia mention, that he had arrived, and he
had said, that his powers to negotiate were very ex-

tensive.
Mr. ROSE NOT LANDED ! !—We were last evening
favoured with the perusal of a letter from a person of
the first respectability, dated Washington, Jan. 3, to
a Gentleman in this town, which states—
" That Mr. Rose, on his arrival at Norfolk, had I
applied to Commodore Decatur, to know in what
manner he should be received. Commodore Decatur
replied that he should be received with the utmost ci-
vility and attention, but that it was necessary to ap-
ply to the Collector ; the Collector was absent, and a
Clerk in the Custom-house replied he knew nothing
about the business. On hearing this, Mr. Rose de-
clared he would not put his foot on our ground, until
, he was satisfied he should be received with hospitality.
IThis intelligence has arrived at Washington, and an
I express has been sent to clear up the matter !"
The New York Papers to the 7th, however, state,
that an express had arrived at Washington, to the Bri-
tish Minister, to know whether Mr. Rose would be re-
ceived ? Mr. Erskine immediately applied to the exe-
cutive. Soon after he returned an express requesting
.Mr. Rose to repair to Washington immediately.
Letters from Washington mention, that our differ-
lence with England would be speedily and amicably
adjusted : apprehensions were entertained that there
LI would be rupture with France.
JAN. 11.—On Thursday a procession of from 80
to 100 sailors, carrying a_ flag, marched with martial
music to the Governor's house, and demanded ern.'
ployment or bread. The Governor, as soon as he
could be heard, addressed them. They finally dispersed
without further disturbance.
We have heard but one opinion on this subject,
from the many we have heard mention it ; and that
is, these men wereinstigated to this conduct by Tories.
—Democrat.
We hear that a son of Governor Hull arrived in
the city of Washington from Detroit, on Friday even-
ing, December 25, and brings intelligence that 8000
Indians are embodied, in that neighbourhood, which
excites great alarm among the inhabitants. Governor
Hull some time since ordered out the militia, for the
purpose of being reviewed ; but they all appeared
without arms, and refused to carry them, alledging
that if they appeared with arms in their hands, the
Indians would instantly fall on and destroy them.—

WEXFORD ELECTION.
On the motion of Mr. CALCRAFT, the time for
trying the merits of the Wexford election petition was
enlarged from the Bth of March to the 7ilk of April,
on account of the important trial that is to come on at
the assizes for that county.
UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS.
Mr. H. MARTIN moved, pursuant to notice, for
an account of all the sums of money that have been
issued to the Paymaster of the Forces, between the
sth of January, 1793, and the 10th of July, 1802,
and which remained unaccounted for ; together with
a list of the persons to whom each sum had been ap-
propriated, specifying the time when, and the pur-
pose for which such grant or payment had been made;
There were already on the table accounts for the last
five years and a half ; but it appeared to him to be
expedient that the House should be in possession of
' the accounts for the nine preceding years. kiowever,

notwithstancring there was this conviction on ifs
mind, he did not bring forward his motion unta,,
a consultation with the Chairman of the Oar
of Finance, he was confirmed in that opinion ;
he trusted the House would agree with him a&

Mr. ROSE stated, that in many cases

Mr. CALCRAFT 'obsereed, that his
Friend had stated-i "strong parliamentary ground

had been given in the way of loan or subsidy to
