LONDON, November it.
Blockading Decree —We fluted yel
terday, that a Proclamation will b .
immediately signed by his Majesty, dt
daring France, and every other com -
try under her control and influence, it
a (late of siege, prohibiting all inter
course with her or them, and forbid
ingall (hips to enter her or their har
hours, except Inch as have cleared last
from a port in Great Britain, or a port
in the Colonils belonging to Great
Britain. This is the strong ineafure
which the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer frequently urged during
the late adminiflration, as absolutely
neceflary to meet Bonaparte’s block
ading decree. We may therefore
presume, that if it did not appear to
ldmeof his coadjutors as ameafureof
doubtful policy, it would have been
long since adopted. It wil 1 , no doubt,
cut oft France from all mtercourfe
with the three quarters of the globe,
and prevent her from receiving any of
the commodities or produce of Asia,
Africa and America. The only ob
jettion to the ineafure is, the conse
quent injury to our trade; but this
objection is treated in the Trcafury
Journals, as a mere chimera. *• Out
trade,” they fay, “ would lufler indeed,
if the articles in which we deal, it our
own produhtions, and the produce of
our colonies were merely luxuries
which nations might dispense with. —
But is that the fact ? Are not the pro
ductions of the colonics abloluiely r.e
ceffary to the Continent ? Can Bona
parte prevent the Continent from hav
ing them ? Can any decree he can is
iue induce the people of the Continent
to dispense with the use of sugar, of
coffee, of cotton, of linen, of indigo,
of logwood, of drugs, of hardware, and
a variety of other articles? He may
render the introduction of them more
difficult, and the circulation of them
more circuitous, but fttli they will
reach every part of the Continent.—
But it may be said, if the Continet will
not dispense with the ufc of sugar, of
coffee, of cotton, of of log
wood, &c. where is the great necessity
for this meafttre. Recaufe neutral na
tions know that ihefe articles, the pro
duce of our Colonies, are liable to
seizure and coufifcation in the enemy’s
ports —they, therefore, purchase them
in the Colonies of the enemy, and the
enemy are thus supplied with them,
not by British fliips, not by British
colonies, but .by American ships, and
by French and Spanish Colonies.—
But if we interdict that trade, if we fay
that no fliip shall convey to a French
port any colonial produClion but our
own, \vc shall then oblige the Conti
-1 nent to take them from us; the Con
tinent not being able, as we have al
ready {fated, to do without them.”
Now all this may be very fine logic,
but we fear that it is not faft. The
inferences may be true, but, unfortu
nately, the premises, are faife. In the
nrft place, the produ&ions of our Co
lonies are not al! articles abfolutdy ne
celfa-ry to the Continent; and in the
next place, iftheir circulation upon the
Continent be rendered more difficult
and circuitous, they cannot circulate
to the fame extent, and with the lame
facility, after, as before the rellraints.
At follows, therefore, that the con
sumption will be less; but we trust
the tedutiion will not be so great as
the enemy expebls. It is, we fear, too
much to attempt to prove, that our
trade will not (uffer at all. Globe.

TvESO.tr, December 8.
Mr. Dana offered the following re- (
f flution, which he wifhecf'tolie on the ,
table:
> Resolved , That it is expedient to
provide for regulating the condufl of
such merchant -vessels, as, by agree
ment of the refpe&ive owners, may
fail in concert for mutual assistance and
defence in any lawful commerce ; and
also for fettling, accordingto the course
of proceeding in courts ofadmiraity,
the refpettive rates of cotribution to
be made between them on account of
any loss or damage which may be there
by inclined.
On motion of Mr. Blount, the
House resolved itfelf into a committee
of the whole on the bill reported by
the committee of aggressions on the
fubjeft of fortification, and the bil
from the Senate making an appropria
tion for the more effectual defence of
of the ports and harbors of U. S. Mr.
Ballet in the chair.
Some progress was made in consid
ering the bill, when a MeiTage in wri
ting was announced from the Prefulcnt
of the United States by Mr. Coles, his
Secctary, and handed to the ch iir.
It being suggested by Mr. Newton
that the meflage very probably con
tained information which might bear
on the fubjefct now before them.
The committee immediately rose,
reported progress, and obtained leave
to fit again.
The fpeaker declared the meflage
which had been received to be of a
confidential nature; the galleries were
accordingly cleared, and the House re
mained in feflion with closed doors
from half pall 12 o’clock till a quarter
pad 5, when they adjourned.
Tuesday, December 8.
The House this day met with c!o(bd
doors, and after remaining so about
twenty minutes, the doors were open
ed.
Mr. Newton said the House would
recoiled that on Monday next the law
prohibiting the importation of certain
articles would go into operation ; and
it was alio known that that law was ex
tremely defe&ive. In order to pre
vent a Variety of suits and perplexities
which would arise under it, and in con
sequence of a letter directed from the
Treasury Department to the Commit
tee of commerce and Manufactures,
and fubmittedto them, exposing foirse
of its defeats, he moved a resolution
diredtng the Committee of Commerce
and Manufactures to enquire into what
amendments wereneceflarv to be made,
with power to report by bill. It was
not the wish of the Committee to sus
pend or repeal the law j it was their
wish and the wish of the Treasury De
partment that it should not be clogged
so far as to produce law suits. It was
a found principle of all governments
to prevent litigation • and if i: was
made to appear that any law which they
had palled gave rife 10 it, it ought to
be amended. The letter Hated a vari
ety of cases which aroie under that law.
To remedy these deleds was the objed
of the present motion.
! he motion was agreed to; and, be
jfore the House adjourned, a bill was
introduced for the purpose.
Wednesday, December 9.
Mr. Dawfort prel'ented to the House
an estimate from the Secretary at W at,
of the expence of a (landing army of
32,500 men; which was referred to the
committee of the whole, to whom were
referred the resolutions for the increase
of our military and’ naval eliablifh
ments.
On motion of Mr. Blount, the House
agreed to confider the report of the
committee of the whole of‘yefterday,
on the bill from the Senate, for the con-
Arufclion of gun-boats ; which being
under consideration.
Mr. Durell moved to strike out x B3,
and inkn Ua. 33 the number of gun
boats, and to add the words, and f our

On this motion, a cebate ensued ; j 8

and Messrs. Blount, Smiiie, Thoms,;

opposed it.
In the course of the debate M r
Blount called for a division of the c uef
lion.

gatived —Ayes 19.

Immediately on the meeting of the
House this day, the engrofled bill f Qt
appropriating a sum of money, f or
building an additional number of g UR ,
boats was read, and on the queftiau
“ Shall this bill pass ?” a lengthy de.
bate ensued, in which Messrs Elliot,
