WAIIIIINOTON, JAN. la.
The subject which Congress have had under con-
sideration in conclave, was finished in the House of
Representatives last evening, at six o'clock. The

deration a Bill respecting the Non-Intercourse Law,
of which• the following are the principal features : •
Seer. 1. That in case Great Britain shall so revoke or modify
her Edict, &c. the President shall declare the fact by Proclama-
tion ; and such Proclamation shall be the only evidence of the
fact in any suit or prosecution under the 4th Section of the Act,
to which this is an addition.
Sect. Z. That in case said Proclamation shall not have teen is-
sued on or before the 2d of February next, the several provisions
of the 3d, 4th, sth, 6th, 7th, Bth, 9th, 10th, and 13th St•ctions o:
the Act, entitled, An Act to Interdict," &c. shall, from that
day, be carried into effect. •
Sect. 9. That any vessel or merchandize seized prior to the fact
being ascertained that Great Britain has revoked, prior to the 2d
February, shall be restored to the owners, on giving bond, with'
approved security, equal to the value thereof, to abide the deci
lion of the proper Court of the United States ; sod said bond shall
be considered as. satisfied in case Great Britain shall have revoked
or modified on or before the said 2d of February.
Sect. 4. Exempts from seizure any vessels which had departed
from any British port before February 2, and merchandize which
shall have been put on board before knowledge of the President's
Proclamation of the 4d November.
Sect. 5. Provides for employing any part of the land or naval
forces of the United States or any part of the militia, and If the
seizures shall be made within the waters of the United States.
that part of the forfeiture which may, according to existing laws
accrue to the United States, shall, after deducting the duties, be
distributed among the persons making selzuresia suck proportion
as may be directed by the President.
Sect. 6. Gives that portion of forfeitures which belong to the
United States, except as above specified, to be divided between
the informers, inspectors, and captains of crews.
Sect. 7. Puts the burden of proof on the defendant in all cases
of selzum near the colonies and possessions of foreign nations.
Sect 8. Authorises the President to hire, arm, and employ not
exceeding one hundred vessels, and not exceeding one hundred
and thirty tons each, and so many seamen as may be necessary to
man them, for a term not exceeding one year.
This Bill will probably be reported by the Committee.
TURSDAY, JAN. 15.—Mr. Eppes, from the Commi

To the Right Hon.
Alderman Dailey requested of Lord Ffrench a
written answer to Mr. Pole, which his Lordship stated
he could not with propriety comply with, until he had
conferred with the Gentlemen who had been appoint-
ed to accompany him.—On the departure of Alder-
man Darley, Lord Ffrench made immediate commu-
nication to the Secretary, Mr. Hay, of the foregoing
notes, with a request that the Gentlemen appointed
might be called together to meet Lord Ffrench the
nest ; and in consequence a meeting took
place at one o'clock on Sunday, and the following was
from thence dispatched to Mr. Secretary Pole.
21, Derminick-street, 24th Feb. 1811.
SII-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
note of yesterday, stating, that in consequence of a communica-
tion with Alderman Dailey, though you hail intended sailing
for England this morning, yet, if I or any of the Catholic Gentle-
men wished to see you, you would postpone the intended jaurney
until Monday night, if it should be inconvenient to me or my
friends to call upon you this day. I beg leave to return you, Sir,
thanks for the politeness of your communication.
I have submitted your note to the Gentlemen who were ap-
pointed to accompany me on waiting on you, and I am desired
respectfully to inform you, that we understood "distinctly" from
Alderman Darley, that it was " your wish" to see me and some
other Catholic Gentlemen; and I did express the readiness which
pervades the gentlemen who composed the meeting of yesterday,
to afford you, Sir, and every other member of the Government,
any explanation you may require.
For this purpose I am ready to wait on you, with the Gentle-
men alluded to at three o'clock this day, in ease it should be your
wish to see us.
1 have the honour to be, Sir, with great respect,
Your most obedient humble servaat,
(Signed)
To the Right Hon. Secretary Pole.
Dublin Castle, Feb. 94,1811, Half-past Two, P. M.
My Lord—l have this moment the honour of receiving your
note, in reply to mine, which wan yesterday delivered to your
Lordship by Alderman Daley. i did myself the honour of writ-
ing yesterday to your Lordship, in consequence of having been
informed by Alderman Darley that you had stated that if I had
expressed a wish to see you, you would have had much pleasure in
caUing on me. In answer to this notification, 1 desired Alderman
Dailey to inform your Lordship, that I had nothing to communi-
cate to you, but that if your Lordship or any of the Catholic
Gentlemen had any desire to see me, I would at all times be happy
to receive you. Alderman Darley, in reply to this message,
brought me word that your Lordship and some.Catholle Gentle-
men would call on me on Monday, If I wished to see them.
Feeling that I had from the first expresied that I could have no
wish to give your Lordship the trouble of calling upon me, bet,
at the same time, wishing to render it Impossible that any Inac-
curacy in the delivering of the verbal messages, which had pasted
between us, should make It appear that I was deficient in atten-
tion to your Lordship, I conceived it to be the most proper course
to acquaint your Lordship, in writing, that if yen wished to call
on me, I should be ready to receive you.
As it now appears that your Lordship has no eommun;cation
to make to Government, have only to request your Lordship to
believe that I have no desire to give your Lordship or the other
Gentlemen any further trouble.-1 have the honour to be, my
Lord, with much respect, &c. (Signed) w. W. tOl3.

" I transmit to Congress, copies of a letter from

from the same to the British Secretary for Foreign

" London, November 5, 1810.
" Sir—l have presented a second note, of which a
copy is inclosed, to Lord Wellesley, on the subject
of the Orders in Council, under en impression that
the state of the King's health (for which I beg to re-
fer you to the paper herewith transmitted) did not,
render it improper, and that if it was improper on
that account, it was indispensible on every other.
." The day had gone by, when the Berlin and Mi-1
lan Decrees were to cease to operate, according .to
the communication made by the Government of
France to the American Minister at Paris, and pub-I
lished in the official Journal, and yet no step what-
ever has been taken, or apparently thought of, towards
the revocation a the British Orders. I had received
no explanation of the reasons of this backwardness,'
and no such assurance, looking to the future, as to
justify an opinion that it would not continue. Lord
Wellesley's leiter, of the Slit of August, which I had
left unanswered till after the first of November, that
I might stand on the strongest possible ground when
I did answer it, made no profession of being a pre-
sent measure ; and though from obvious motives I
have not so represented it to him, and my note to him
was vague and equivocal as to a prospective apology,
it defined nothing, and was far from warranting any
