Our Plymouth Correspondent informs us, that 1
the Empress, an American brig, captured and
hrought in there, states, that the PeestoeNT's ;ties-
ageto Congress was expected to have been received
. at New York on the day of her departure, Nov. 6 ;
and it was generally believed, that one of the first
acts of Congress would be an order for a General
Embargo, on account of the immense exportation of
grain and flour from the States. The Junen British
frigate, which had arrived with dispatches from Sir
J. B. WARREN, left New York a day or two before
the departure of this vessel, with an answer to the
said dispatches. The Sispure packet was lying off
New York, and expected to sail shortly for England.

the French by the Russians, has manifested itself this
