AMERICA.

The American Journals and Letters by the Mail
of yefterday, were delivered out lan night.
The Bill, prohibiting the importation of Britifh
manufaftures into the United States, has paled the
Houle of Reprefentatives by a confiderable majority.
The period fixed for the commencement of its opera-
tion, is the tsth of November. The Advocates for
violent meafures wifhed to have the Bill to take effeft
from the tft of July: the majority, however, de-
cided againfl them, and thus fufficient time is afforded
for adjufling the exifting differences between the two
countries. It is not clear, even, that this prohibi-
tory Bill will receive the fandlion of the Senate.—
The American Government is apprifed of the recent
political changes in this country, and it is not im•
probable, but this proceeding may be fufpended until
the difpofition of the new Adminillration fhall be
underftood and afcertained.

A letter from Wafhington, of the rft ult. from a
Member of Congrefs, to a refpellable merchant, con.
tains the 'following paragraph :—" It is no longer
doubted, that the different-es between the United
States and Great Britain, will ibe happily accents°.
dated."

There are other letters alas, to the 9.11 of April,
which fpeak with great confidence of the adjuliment
of all differences between America and Great Britain,
and in which it is exprefsly Rated that they build
their hopes of an accommodation 0 upon tome late
advice' from the American Mini (ter at London." It
thould be obtirved, that theft letter come from the,

reit of the Legiflatnte, and are of dates tome days
fubfequent to the palling of the prohibitory A.
The points in difpute between Spain and the
United States are likely to be amicably adjufled.
The following is an extraft from a New York Pa.
per of the 7th of April :
" The Bingham, Capt. Wiwassscia, arrived at
Philadelphia on the 4th of April, from Canton ; off
the Cape fhe was boarded by the Its isonaaLa man of
war. On the sad of March, in lat. as. long. 65. was
boarded by the Cr.so AAAAA frigate, Captain Wick, r,
who informed Captain W. that a French Iquadron,
under Admiral GaNvic SA U 1141,11 ad captured the out-
ward bound China fleet from England."
This account is evidently falfe, as certain advices
have been received that the fleet was fern on the
24th of March, in lat. 29. long. 59.
In a preceding column will be found extradsof every
thing worthy of notice in the American newfpapets.

The letters by the Lifbon Mail do not bring any
interelling intelligence from Spain, Portugal, or
Gibraltar. The letters from the latter place, are not
of a later date than thole brcught by the Camel
(lore !hip. Thole from Cadiz and Madrid are en-
dg!), filent with tepee to any attack upon Portugal.
Mord Rosser FITZCIMALD, the Britt!): Ivlinilcr
to the Court of Lifbon, was ez peeled to fail in a few
days in one of his Majetly's frigates. He comes home
for a wort time on leave of abfence : the frigate is
