NOVA SCOTIA PAPERS.

WASHINGTON. JULY 29.

It is with much satisfiction I acquaint you that
the tyrannical Emuinoo BILL, which lately passed
the Lower House of Congress, has been rejected by
our independeat Senate—lB to 16.

Two Senators were•absent, Daggett of Connecti-
cut, and Smith cf Maryland, who would probably
have voted 'against the Bill
The two Houses will adjourn on Monday.next, un-
less some other violent or mad measure is proposed
'by the Executive.
'lt is reported that the English have run their rig, as
the sailors call it, in the Potomae, have passed up
Chesapeake Bay, and are transferring the alarm to
Annapolis and Mobtown.
EMBARGO.

The injunction of secrecy having been removed
fr, m the late closed-door proceedings of the House
- of Representatives, we are enabled to develope the
subject which arrested their attention.
• Oa Tuesday the 20th, the following Message was
received from the President of the United States :
CONFIDENTIAL.
TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE UNITED STATES.
There being' sufficient ground to infer that it is
the enemy's purpose to combine with the blockade of
our ports, special licenses to neutral vessels, or to
British vessels in neutral disguises, whereby they may
draw from our country the precise kind and quanti-
ties ofiexports essential to their wants, whilst its ge-
neral commerce remains obstructed—keeping in view
also the insdinus discrimination between different
ports of the United States, and as such a system, if
not counteracted, will have the effect of diminishing
very materially the purpose of the war on the enemy,
and encouraging a perseverance in it, at the same
time that it will have the general commerce of the
United States, under all the pressure the enemy can
itnpose, thus subjecting the whole to British regula-
tion, in subserviency to British monopoly.
66 I recommend to the consideration of the Con-
gress, the expediency-Of an immediate and effectual
prohibition of resorts, limited to a convenient day
in their 'next Session, and removable in the tneantiine
in the event of a cessation of the blockade of our
Ticks. a JAIIIS MADISON."

steign Reiatii..ns, who reported the next day, thit it

dent. This Report was referred to a Committee of
the' whole House, who amended the Report by strik-
ilsg out "inexpedient," anisinserting txpedient. This
amentirimilt, in Comrpiuee of the whole, was stre-
nuously advocated by the Speaker and others, and
as strenuously. Opposed by some.
The Amendment was reported and agreed to by
the Hi.use, and refereed to a select Committee, Mr.
Grundy, chairman, who on the neat day reported a
Bill laying an embargo, consisting of twenty odd sec-
tions, being substantially copies from the old embargo
acts, aml containing all the obnoxicats provisions of
the old enforcing act.
The Bill was immediately committed to a Com-
mittee of the whole House, forced through the Com-
Mince, reported to the House without amendment,
all amendments being rejected, and then forced
through the House, engrossed, and passed the same
day; it was reported at about seveo at night—Ayes
