NON-IMPORTILTION ACT.

seneto were engaged on Monday in debating I
en the repeal of the Non-importation Act. Proba-
bility is in favour of its passing. It is probable that
several days will escape without our hearing of the
result of our spirited naval expedition ; there is
every reason to believe that the American commodore
hilt the direct track of the British convoy, and, *i-
mages he was two or three days astern of them, the
tardy manner in which thesis conveys mole, added
M the superior sailing of the American squadron,
furnish a strong presumption, that by this time, a
work of great tomcat is performed. The, value of
this Jamaica dent may be fairly estimated at from
Wto it sillies' sterling ; if captured or destroyed
by the American squadron will create a sensation
