AMERICAN PApERS. _

By the Chesterfield packet, arrived at Falmouth,
from New York, we have received New York and
other American papers to the 14th December.
These papers are mostly filled with debates in the
American Congress on the subject of the embargo
the subject seems to have been entered into at great
length by the American Legislature, and k was finally
,alecided, by a great majority, that the embargo should
be continued.

Among the Official Documents contained in the
American Papers are Memorials ar Remonstrances

from several of the Unitzd States, praying a repeal
of the Embargo ; but the most important article they
contain is a voluminous report from Mr. CAMPBELL,
the. Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means,
on the subject of the foreign relations of America,
in which he distinctly recommends not only the con-
tinuation of the Embargo, but the passing of a Non-
intercourse Bill against Great Britain and France.
Private letters and passengers from America by
the Chesterfield state, that no prospect whatever is
entertained of a relaxation of the prohibitory measures
igainst British Commerce ; that Mr. MADDISON'S
fr ends were sure of his being elected President, and
that a non-intercourse Bill would be one of the first
measures of his Administration.

The popular feeling seems to be still hostile to this
line of policy, but it seems to have been moderated
since the publication of the Debates in Congress.
A report is given in the American Papers as having
been brought by a vessel from the Harannah, which
states that the Governor of Mexico had been seized by
the people, in consequence of his refusing to declare
for FERDINAND the Vllth.

We are sorry to state that the yellow fever has
broken out in Barbadoes, Martinique, and others of
the West India islands ; and the American papers
describe it as having proved particularly fatal to
Americans and Europeans.
Our Readers will find, in another part of this
Paper, such further extracts from these papers, as our
Lime and limits would allow us to give.

..eign Office,. which was attended by the Duke of

REA(fI, Mr.

Lad y C AST LER F IGlf, Mr:and Mrs.PeitozvAL, &c. went

They were there met by the Duchess of BRUNS-
WICK and a few friends, whom the Princess of WALES
had invited to dinner for the purpose of celebrating
the day. Tea, cards, and supper followed, and the
whole of the entertainment was not concluded till a

Captain StltainGE is appointed Comptroller of Pay-
ments afloat at Portsmouth, in the room of Captain
GARRETT, who is appointed Superintendant of the
Victualling Department at Deptford.
HAYMARKET THEATRZ.—Last night the Tragedy
of The Revenge was performed, in which Mr. YOUNG
appeared in the character of Zanga. He supported
the part throughout with great energy and effect, and
received deserved applause. Mr. C. KEMBLEt as
Alonzo, and Miss NouToN, as Leonora, were very re-
spectable.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--The new Play of Man
and Wife, repeated last night to a well-filled and
fashionable house. A monstrous row in the gallery
prevented the fourth Act from being heard. We en-
vied those who sat in the front of the pit. The inter-
nal police of a Theatre is in the hands of the audience,
and should be resolutely maintained.—RobiluonCrusoe,
we think, is not so well performed as it was some
years ago, although the pantomimic branch of the
Theatre is naturally much improved, since plays are
more attended by spectators than by hearers. The last
scene of the Pantomime is one of the best we ever saw ;
butlast night one of the wings did not readily, 1y into
its pace.

BREAM—There being no Court of Aldeqnen held
to-day, the Lord MAYOR, after inspecfng the returns,
ordet ed it to fall 3d. per peck loaf.
