Wednesday, march 4.
Very interesting news will be found un-
der the N. York head. Were they convinced
of the truth of these accounts, from the cor-
roborating reports from every quarter,, the
friends of humanity and of free government
will find some cause for believing that the
destruc-ive march of the Gallic Colossus lias
been checked. If a fatal disease unnerves
the arm of France, and n conviction of com-
mon danger unites the two eastern empires,
the combined armies of Rus»ia and Turkey
may yet destroy the innumerable locusts,
wlvcb. have devoured almost all of Europe.
The king of Prussia has issued " a difjai-
fiad manifesto," declaring that he will yet
conquer, or fall with his subjects and his
power.
In con equence of great numbers of pr:-
¦Wteers having issued out to inforce the
French decree, a message has issued at the
British admiralty, for the sailing of every
er-r-d vessel in port. This necessary move-
ment will perhaps free the British Channel
from the privateers which seem to swarin
there.
An order of council was to appear in
the- London Gazette of the loth Jan. and
is in substance, (says the Morning Chroni-
cle)," that no neutral ships be pcrmit-
cd to trade from Sny port under the con-
troul, or in the possession of the enemy.
The neutral trade direct from neutral nati-
ons to the enemy's ports still permitted ; but
the neutral trade feom port to pott is prohi-
bited."
On the above order, the Morning Herald
observes—" This measure will speedily
decide the question, whether France, who
has no commercial marine of her own, can
dispense with the carrying trade, as pursu-
ed by neutrals, but which this measure
goes completely to extinguish. She will
now, in return for her menaced blockade,
be hennetrically sealed up, without an oppor-
tunity of exporting her produce to any part
of the globe. The direct trade from Ame-
rica is permitted, but under this salutary re-
gulation the Americans will not be allowed
to carry on. the trade between France,
Spain, Italy, Holland, &c."

[It was very late to-day before a quorum
could be formed in the house of representa-
tives, and the public business was frequent-
ly at a stand for want of a quorum.]
The further consideration cf tlie bill from
tlie senate, providing for laying out and
making a road from Cumberland to Ohio,
was postponed iude'initely.
The bill in addition to the act respecting
the naval peace establishment (which autho-
rises the president to employ 500 additional
seamen and boys, if necessary) was read a
third time and passed.
The further consideration of the bill sup-
plementary to the act fixing the military
peace establishment of the United States,
was postponed indefinitely ; as also was the
bill to alter and establish certain post-roads.
A message was received ftcm the senate,
notifying that they had passed the bill, sent
from the house, making further appropria-
tions for the fortification of ports and har-
bors, with an amendment, which was agreed
to by the house. By this amendment the
second section of that bill (appropriating an
additional sum for the building of gun-boats,
is struck out.
A message was received from the senate,
notifying, that they had passed the bill sent
from the house, making appropriations for
the support of government during the year
ji807, with amendments, which were agreed
to by the house ; also, that they had passed
the bill making compensation to Messrs.
Lewis and Clark and their companions ; and,
the bill authorising the settlement of the
accounts between the United States and
Williao- Raton.
A message was received from the president
of th'J U. S. informing that he had approved
and signed the bill prohibiting the importa-
tion of slaves, after the 31st Dec. 1807.
At 4 p. jvr. the house adjourned till half af-
ter six.
' [There was no debating in the house of
Representatives to-day—They were princi-
pally occupied in disposing of the numerous
bills at present before them. The senate
fvas engaged to-day with the bill repealing
he sa!t-ta>t and continuing the M< '
aeam aind ; it had not passed at half after
I o'olock, but it will probably pass tonight,
shall attend in congress to night ; for al-
hsugh they have but five hours to sit, they
iuve probably as much business to transact
s they have done in any fi! labor.
