* bhok, rvtners, clothes, S:e. rvhic'n were shore, effected his escape in the course ul’ ... A few days previous to the 2d, a French frigate of 36 guns, provisioned fora voyage oi seven months, proceeded from Ciierburgh to Brest. There was in the for mer port a French corvette, carrying i 6 guns, lately returned from a cruise. She had been to sea for some weeks, and during her cruise fell in with the homeward bound East . India fleet. It was this corvette that boarded the Ford Eldon Indiaman, in Portland roads, and was so gallantly repulsed : she was comman ded by the nephew of general Moreau, who lost his life at the wheel of the Lord Eldon, b\- a sabre blow from captain Young, which se vered his head from his body. The American . ship Victory, had been seized at Cherbut gh, on account of the captain having made a false declaration, and not as has been reported for having rum on board: It was necessary be fore his inward clearance could be effected at the custom-house there, that he should prove ho had no goods of /finish manufacture on board; that he had not touched at a British port, -and that he had not been detained by a British cruiser. The cap’ain acknowledged his deten tion for five hours by au English cruiser, and this was deemed sufficient to seal his condem nation. Such are the statements,of the Ame rican captain. According to information received yester day from Plymouth, through a vessel which ha just arrived there from St. Andero, the prohibitory decrees of Bonaparte against our commerce are in futuietobe enforced iu the .Spanish ports with the utnmt rigct.r. An f order had been received at St Andero just be fore tins vessel sailed, enjoining, that no wool should be exported to any part of the British empire. As wool is the the principal article of Spanish produce imported into the united kingdom, one may infer from this order the total prohibition with Spain, as far as the or ders of the government cun be effective. Government, we understand, is determined not to suffer any foreign vessel to land a single passenger in this country. A vessel arrived at Yarmouth a day or two ago, from a Dutch port, with passengers ; but they were ordered away immediately, without any of them being suf fered to set a foot on shore Sheerness, December 3. Orders have been just issued to the men of war at i hi. port, to seize all Russian ships of war and merchant vessels they may fall iu with. T e:;th Congress ot the United .States.

The meflage was read and order ed to lie on the table. On in- tion of Mr Randolph the house took up for consideration the resolution submitted by him relative to the conduct of brigadier general tames Wilkinson. Mr. Gardner said an order had-yesterday pal Ted the house, requeuing two members to iay papers and in formation befoie them on this fuhject. He would ask whether any information had been furnifhed by eiiher of these gent emen ? If there had, he fhoukl with it to bo printed for consideration. The fpeafvcr said the gentleman from Virginia had laid papers on the table, hut the delegate from Orleans had not made a: y communication Mr. Clarke laid on the table a letter in Spanini,from : the Baron de Carondelet ro Manuel Uayofo, with a t ratifia;ion of the. following extr. <fl: “ Translation of an ex'radf of a letter from the Baron -de Carondelet, governor of I ouifiana, -o Dn. Manu el Gayofo de l.emos, governor of Natchez, dated New-Orleans, 97th April, i7D6. * Argote’s letter cannot, in my opinion, have foun dation, since the Prince of Peace tells me, that in cort fequence of the tieaty, it is now useless to treat fepa rateiy with Kentucky.’ “N. B. Argote was then Sp'anifh Consul in ICen- , tucky.” Mr. Chandler xvifhed to know if these papers con tained ali'tke information which cotud be xnedted from the gentleman from New Urleans in coniequence ol the resolution ? j Mr Randolph said the gentleman from Orleans, did not appear to be in his feat at present; but tVT- R presumed this -was by no means ail the information i which was to b,. expected. It might be the only pa- ! per which the gentleman pofTeffed on this fubjetff; but j if the gentleman’s knowledge was f* ext . live as it was believed to lie, the house would perc j\ * that he ccuid not have had time, since the adjournment of ytfierday, to have reduced it to such a daement 3s might be nee- (fury Indeed, the house met !o early and fat so iate, that if other gentlemen in the house had the Ijme feelings with him, they mud be utterly iitcapucii.leii for bumiehs the remaining psrt cf the 2d *’nr?. Mr. R. aifiled however to anderfhnd vtlifth er tnat was all the infor ation in the gentleman’s poQedioo, and he iiad no doubt the gentleman would inform them. Mr. C arke said it was pretty well understood, that was not the whole information he poiTefle.. ; blit if he were to give it otherwise than on paper, what hr laid would be liable to criticism or mifquouciwt. Mr. C. said it would be proper for hint to know whether he could adduce evidence :n iupport of the information he might give, for he might otherwise be called a ca lumniator. It could not he supposed that he had with him proofs in writing oti this (übjeift. When he left home he had not erpetSled to be called upon for rvi dence. He could Hate where evidence might be had, and the perfofis who knew more than himfelf on the fubjedl. II the house iulifted, however,he would give what information he pofTeffed. A motion was made by Mr. Taylor, that the refo lutfoD at present under consideration lie r.n the table ; but which was afterwards withdrawn and renewed by Mr Milner. j A debate took place on this mo ion ; after which Mr Clark ftattd that he conceived that he could pre pare his information by Monday ihe poftponemnt was agreed to, 70 to ;>2. i SAVANNAH, Saturday Evening, January 30, ISOS. Accounts by the Sarah, capt. Dorgan, arriv ; ed yesterday from Kingston. Jamaica, mention that news oi the embargo reached that place on i the lodi instant, by a Danish vessel, bound from ■ Nevv-Ycuk for St Domingo, loaded with war • like stores, which had been captured and bro’t ; :n by one of the /hitish cruisers.* Provisions i had, consequently, taken so great a rise ihat j flour, which before was selling at seven dollars, rose immediately to twenty-two He have been favored by a gentlemen of this city with the Kingston Chronicle of January 13; from which we h. ve extracted the following: Kingston, Jam January 13. His majesty’s ship Duncan, captain Warren arrived at Port-Rojai Ir.te on Monday evening ; and brought in with her the Danish armed brig fovo Lydias, mounting four 32-pot:nd carron ades, and two long ,S pounders, which she cap tured after a chucc ol several hours, having on board warlike stores, bound to St Domingo, for Action’s brigands. By the Two Lydias, whith left New-York on the 31st uit. we learn, that, on the 26th, an order was issued by the American government, laying an embargo on all American vessels and ordering neutral vessels to depai t from the parts of the U. States, who were not to be permitted to take on board cargoes after the above date, hut allowed to depart with what they had then’ on board, lie also learn, that the constitution frigate and H asp i loop, were preparing to sail, one for England, and the other for France, wi'.h dispatches, and that the embargo was to continue in force until an answer should he re ceived to them : that on the embargo being lad on, not less tnan £OOO seamen had been ; discharged from American merchantmen at ■ ork, vnich had excited a great commotion . among the”), and government had in conse j quer.ee, employed loose people to work or: the i lorliiicanons erecting a’ ‘cv.-Yurk sot the dr j fence oi that city, i* is also said that, on an j American res.-,el attempting lo get out oi port j after the embargo had been laid cn. was bred 5 at by the forts and prevented irnrn sailing. ) Biivate letters, received by the Sal!v, rccom I mend that no shipments should be made to I America in British bottom 1 .

His talents, though not of the fust, the mox btilliant order, wete yet such as would ha elevated him above the standard of mediocri ty, and entitled hitn to a conspicuous rank among the aspiring youths of equal age. Cho sen at an early period, when-he had scarce a -to the y ears of manhood, to till the ic efirtlershrp of this ehf, hris CMiduct ir. iliat po It was so truly uptight and meritorious, as to se cure him, not only a re-election of office, but, what was of infinitely more worth and intrinsic value, the esteem and approbation of honest and deserving men. Asa proof of the estinm tt-.'ti in which he was held by his count 1 y, the last general assembly, without solicitation, or even a knowledge of it on his part, appointed him to the important and distinguished |x>st c-t solicitor general ol the eastern district, This early enjoyment ot public confidence can be considered in no other light than as a tribute to his merit, and as the budding promise of fu ture “ blushing honors,” w hich awaited him m file’s bright career; but death, invidious ty rant, in one short fleeting moment, has blasted the hopes ot his 1 fends, and laid hitn low in the very portico of useful existence. May cacli ol us find the consolation he enjoyed in his last moments—that never during life had he swerved from the paths of strict integrity. In a social view, Mr. Whitcficld was a plea sant, agreeable companion, a sincere friend, and an eflectionate rvlativ e. His loss will be long felt, and deeply deplored, by his connec tions, anuthe circle of his acquaintance.
