tended by Messrs. Lewis and Ingersol, that
this sentence is conclusive evidence against

&c BY the end of this month we shall have
no more bread to eat on this island, exccp,
some flour arrive from Europe. The bakers
have given notice that their -four will al, be
expended by the 1st day of July, and there is
not a single barrel for sale. Flour for the
whites and c;'ttfish for the negroes, with bee,
tor the soldiers, are so necessary, that there
Il no knowing what may be the consequence
ofthe want of them. A ship arrived yester-
day from New-York, and brig from New
London-both were boarded i'm sight of this
place by British cruizers, but permitted to
come in, not having any cargo OH board. A
little resentment is sported here by some
persons, that had they the power of the cap
tain general they would send them back emp
ty as they came but the captain general
is an exceeding good man, and will not take
any measures to widen the breach he ha IS
always shewn every indulgence in favor OF
the Americans, and have no doubt will
wait patiently the event of Your negotiations
with the European powers"
Yesterday morning, the United States sloop

An article from nuremberg inform from
some ofEcersof Daposlsts army, that they
had orders to march for Astracan on the
Caspian, and from thence to be transported
to Persia and the East Indies we had alrea-
DIV learnt that great force was collected at
Astracan, butthat any Of the troops would
be from France was not insinuated. The.
English say that minister was to go from
their court to Constantinople and we are
told that Taller who had given much trou-
Bic to the Grand Seignior, had mace his
peace, disbanded his troops and had ac-
cepted a command at Varna in Bulgaria, on
the Black Sea. We have no particular ac-
count of the policy of Constantinople since
the death of the late Seignor, and the French
appear to express no apprehension of the
loss of power from the event.
Charles Stuart, esq. the English minister

John Murphy a merchant of London had
agreed to raisea regiment IN Spain at his

1t has been said chat Dumourisr was actu-
ally in Spain. Il We are TO believe all the
troops in motion are destined for Spain,
and that the Spaniards are in high spirits,
we may expect to hear of events as memo
rable as any which have distinguished he
late years of European history.

From what we can gather among the de-
mocrats, it appears that the nation is still to
{ BE cursed with the embargo or we are to
have war with the world. 1t was formerly
thought that our good friends the French
might be paci6ed, if we resisted England.
But Napoleon is determined to hold the des-
TIMES ofnations in his own hands. He will
not only be obeyed--but the world shall
know that he is obeyed-to this implicit
obedience, whatever the government might
do,S the people will not submit. We must
therefore resist England will not give up
the right Of search-we must therefore re-.
sist. The embargo is at present no resist
ance, we must of course go to war. We
hear now of the militia being held in readi-
ness--of armies being formed on our north
ern and southern frontiers, and armies of
reserve in the heart of our country. What
are We to think of these things?

81, Ntr GILES offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That so much of the Presidents
message as relates to the sewers. embargo
laws, be referred to select committee, with
instructions to examine and report, whe-
ther any further measures are now necessa-
ry to enforce a due observance thereof du-
ring their continuance and also whether a
nv further modification thereof be expedient
atthis time, and that such committee have
leave to report by bill or otherwise.
On making this motion, Mr.. Giles OBJ
served, that as the resolution he had the
honor of moving respecting the embargo
laws, was intended only as an enquiry into
that subject, which was deemed important
by all, and ito be further acted upon, re-
curing immediate attention; and as it did
not commit the Senate upon any point in re-
lation to those laws, he hoped thatthe COM
mittee might be now appointed.
Mr.. Goodrich requested that the motion
might not be acted upon until tomorrow,
to which Mr.. Giles agreed.
MIR. Smith, of Md. submitted the follow
ing motion. for consideration
to enquire whether ANY, and if any, what a
