THURSDAY, FEB. 26.

The Bill received from the Senate for remitting pe.
naltits.on all British manufactures imported from
British. dependencies, (not being clandestinely im.
ported) and on all goods shipped from the kingdom
of Great Britain, before the 2d of February, 181.1,
poised: •
A Bill was reported by the Committee on FOieign
Relations, this morning, to prevent' the exportation'
from the United States, to the \Vest Indies, dre. in
foreig4 vessels, of staves, lumber,. horses, mules,
asses, neat cattle, cheep, hogs, live-stock,: and live
provisieus,•and all provisions whatever—(thus fol-
lowing, in the description, the late Order of the
British Gt vernment, regulating! the export from the
United States to the West Indies, &c.)—['This Bill;
with the Bill under consideration to-day, to prevent
American vessels using any licences or passei, will
produce in substance an embargo. The only profit-
able export left open, will be that of floor and wheat
to the Y••ninsula; from the Middle States, thus pro-
ducing a partial and unjust operation on the different
States, or Sections of the Union.)
