EMBARGO

Both Houses of Congress yesterday sas
with closed doors, on a message from th.
President recommending Gas il is rcportet) a
temporary Embargo. The policy of such n
measure is obvious, since, if there were no
other motive foI it, the news just received
from England affords sufficient one. The
confirmation OF the present ministry in power,
since the removal of the restrictions on the
Regent; tho hot press in every port for sea-
men to man large detachment of vessels Of
war for the American station; the language
OF the ministry in Parliament, with the posi-
tive and perscvcring adherence to tho orders
in council, and of other indications, are proofs
OF an hostility TO this country against which
the earliest precautions are necessary.

livering doors are opened at the back of the
stage, and communicate with the open street.
The three large doors in front for the Boxes,

that some of them now do, and all will be
made to open both outw ardly and inwardly,
SO that the least pressure from within will
