DISTRICT CDUkT.-The- session still
continues. We mentioned in our last, that
the argument on the unconstitutionality Of
the embargo laws had been begun by Mr..
Prescott. On Tuesday morning Mr.. Dex-
ter followed on the same side. In the after
neon Mr.. Francis Blake, and On Wednes-

Of the government. In the afternoon Mr..

had been introduced by the'attorney for the
government; who, in reply again to Mr..
Prescott, Closed the argument. Itnow re-
mains for the Judge to give his opinion
During this long discussion, the hall was
crowded, and the anxious assembly listened
with the most profound attention to the ar
guments, In which great knowledge, inge-
nmty and eioquence were displayed.
We had intended to have given, in our
paper, a view OF the arguments on this most
important question but, from their length,
We concluded to publish them more fully in
a pamphlet, as soon as the matter can be ar
ranged.

say That as the belly Of John Bull would not in

The Plover sloop of war has arrived with
dispatches, from sir Arthur WELLESLEY. The
expedition under the command Of the gall
liant general was off cape Finisterre on the
ed July, proceeding for Oporto. The ac-
counts which have got into circulation from
the intelligence she brings, are not very sa-
tisfactor. The Portuguese patriots, it is
stated, had been formed into an army con-
sisting of 10000 men, and had marched be-
vond Coinbra, in the province Of Beira, but
nothing f,p Their is remarked of their opera
tons. A French detachment under Loison,
consisting Of 1000 men, found it necessary,
upon the approach Of this army, to retire to-
wards the main body, under the command
Of Junot at Lisbon.
We learn withmuch satisfaction, that yes
terdav the expedition under convoy Of his
maiesty's ships Adaucious, Zebra, Eugene,
and Brazen, cleared St. Heleu's, with the
wind at east, and we hope they will be ena-
bled to work their way down the Channel.
The transports that lately proceeded from
Ramsgate are waiting to JOIN them at Fal-
mouth.
The Audacious has 100000 dollars on
board, as a military chest.
The e,nbarkat;on of the fourth expedition
has already commenced with the 18th dra-
poons at Gravesend. The brigade guards at
Chatham, the 45th, 51st, and 67th, embark
in the ensuing week.
It's said that in the 5th expedition, which
is to combine a large force OF artillery and
much cavalry, the gallant offer OF some OF
the militia regiments, will be accepted.

INTERESTINGLY the mail OF this
morning, we have received from our cor
respondent at New Orleans, letters and pa
pers to the soth of August. They contain
interesting accounts from Vera Cruz, the
length of which prevents our inserting more
than brief summary in our paper OF to-
day.
The Danish schooner Henry arrived at
New Orleans the Soth August from Vera
Cruz, which place she lett the 18th; by her
information is received that on the 2Oth
vessel arrived at that port with dispatches
and officers from Bonaparte, dated at Bay
onne, announcing the abdicaalon OF theSpa-
nish monarchy in his favor.
This intelligence occasioned the greatest
CONSERVATION at Vera Cruz. The officers,
civil and military, of the Spanish govern
ment, instantly resolved not to submit to
the authority of BonaParte. a meeting
was Immediately held, and unanimous re-
solution entered into, to acknowledge no O.
tber master than Ferdinand the Vim, and
to resist to death the usurpation OF his go
vernment. The same movements took place
at Campeachy, on receiving the lnrelll-
gence. -, r. W
Cruz was forced to abandon his post, and
arrived at New Orleans in the Henry. lhe
French commissioners were confined In the
castle.

Brtract Of letter from Distinguished
character ia London, 10 his friend in
Cambridge, dated IN October lest.
1t is painful and useless to say any
thing about.the affairs Of Europe. The
whole continent bows to the military
genius Of BonaParte, and obeys his
mandates f.; he divides and subdues
Kingdoms, and circumscri bes trade and
intercourse. Prussia hasbeen compell-
ed to shut her ports, which amounts to
declaration of war. Perhaps Russia,
Kingdom comprising a great portion
of the globe, will probably be compel
led also to close her ports against us.
Alas the fate of Denmark is melan-
choly. Commerce, which united and
harmonized nations, is to be DESTROYED,
and 6arbarou8 retaliation may restore
agaia the days of ignorance and cuel-
ty. Should we likewise retaliate on A.
merica what France has done, bv stop
ping her neutral trade, communication
ceases and the sea will swarm with
privateers and pirates, and the ocean
TEEN, like the land, with blood-hounds.
What a state OF anarchy approaches,
by the imbecility of governments, s the
depravity of courts The old world is
crolching to one scourge Of the human
race, which like fire, the more it is fed,
more widely it inAamcs and consumes.
l am sorry to see that you are likely to

large the flame. Already you dare not

now at length court a rupture with

you, and preserve you from the abyss,
which might swallow upyou & us and
make us both aydearly for quarreIIing
about a matter of etiquette. With all
the difficulties thrown in the wav Of

Communication from Washington, to tie
editor Of Tie q. S. Gazette, dated
February 3.
The subjectof removing the govern
ment to Philadelphia has been again re-
sumedtoday. ThegalIeries were CROW III
ed & oyerfowingthroughsthe debate, &
among others, considerable number Of
fine ladies honOred the house with their
presence. AS the subject is of the ut
most importance to the inhabitants of
this district. the discussion has excited
apr0nortiUnal alarm. The first speaker
was GARDENER, who for an hour and
quarter cOntended with ability and
eloquence for the propriety of re-
moval, and exhibited the folly Of re-
naming any longer in this city $50 CALI
ed ie was followed BY Mr. EpDes,
who, for hall an hour spoke against the
removal with great animation. Mr..
Bacon replied in favor of the removal.
The last speaker was Mr.. Love new
member from Virginia, who speaks
more, and Is less attended 10, than anv
other man in the house. He IS not
destitute Of talents, but his speeches
are very frequent, very long, and intol-
trably dull. He has wonderful facul-
" in rising on any question, and dis
cnssing at great length some abstract,
metaPhy steal principle, which he viii
contIive 10 connect with the SUBJECT
under consideration. Mr.. Bacon i
also new member. He is son of Mr..
Jonn Bacon, who was some years ago
IN congress, and who perhaps is more
generally known BY the name Friar Ba-
con; and he is successor to Mr. Bid
wen. MIR. Bacon is much more res.
lPected on all sides of the house than
ms predecessor, and is the only man in
the democratic delegation Of the north

alehts OF statesman and an orator.

result OF this question. But the morr
