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. a LILADELPHIA, December 12 Expedition agairjl Manilla.

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 44 g ,in fri n ates *” , , On this motion, a cebate ensued ; j 8 which Meflrs.

Thursday, December to. 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, Sloan, Ftfk, Dana, Ncholas, Wfj. 1 liams, Burwell, Upham, Mandyke, Randolph, Crowninfhield, and Quin, cy took part ; when the House about 4 o’clock adjourned without any quf. non having been taken.
