TRURO, (Eng.) Oct. 3.
; lately stated, that several' seamen, of
--nerican States schooner Revenge had
=-^! to enlist with an officer of the Eri-
JEf£-oyal Marines, now on the recruiting
in Truro, buf that he had sent them
to the American commander, with a
*t*ation that he could not countenance
ters. We should have been happv to
this honourable conduct on the part of
it »sh officer, had produced an equally

K vy.ill tjte American declaimers upon

^.aid so stimulated to honorable feeling,
_ £»e<3 t give up one of his ere who had
—T ared himseif a deserter from a British

too, that several others of the crew of
J^evenge declared themselves British

o «he delicacy and prudence of a Bri-

FRENCH DECREE.
Translated ft/r he Mercantile Advertiser.
From late,French Paps&s.
Vessels katuing touched in England.——
The 8th article of the imperial decree of the
21st oi November last, prohibits the receiving
in our por's of any vessel- din ct, from Eng-
land or flour Ejigjisji colonies, or having
bein thet-© since its*pttblicatiorl. Tlie 81I1
article provides that fevery vessel which, by]
means of a false declaration, contravenes
this disposition, shall, as well as In r cargo,
b» seized and confiscated as English pro-
perty.
The director-general announces, by his
circulaire of the 4lh of this inbntli (8 pt.)
that his majesty has just decided that those
two articles ouglit to have their full and
entire execution ; and that any vessel which
Shall have stopped in England, or shall have
been conducted thither, cannot be admitted.
So that the immediate return of those
vessels, let the alledged cause of entry be
what it may, will he required. Those who,
by a false declaration, shall dissimulate their
having stopped in England, and succeed in
entering our port, shall he seized, and they
and their cargoes shall he proceeded against
according to the decree relative to English
property.
On the receipt of the first intelligence of
Mr. Munroe's return to this Country, our
readers will recolli cr that we did not p.nii
cipate in the gloomy consequences which it
was said were to be inferred from that cir-
cumstance ; but merely considered it as pro-
ceeding from a wish of that gentleman to
have personal explanations with the execu-
tive on some of those serious points of ne-
gociation which have so long agitated the
two countiits: All the London papers which
have now come to hand, as well as private
letters, go in complete Confirmation of the
opinion we though ourselves justified in giv-
ing some weeks ago.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 25.
We understand that Gen. Moreau, about
a week since, left Philadelphia for the West-
ern country, it is said, for Nenv-Orleans.—
His unexpected departure and the rapidity
with which he has passed on his journey,
have excited considerable curiosity, not un-
mixed with suspicion, which seems princi-
pally to have arisen from the place to which
he is said to be going. Information has been
received of his passing through Lancaster
and Chambersburg without having made any
delay at either place. When we consider
the distinguished character and unsullied
reputation of General Moreau. we cannot for
a moment indulge the idea of his having
any views hostile to the United States ; and
we think it highly probable that a very short
time will bring to light the most satisfactory
explanations of the objects of his journey,
which may turn out to have been undertaken
solely for the gratification of a laudable cu-
riosity. [Intelligence.']

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From our Correspondent.
Washington^ November 25.
Proeei'dings this day.
Mr. Poindexter presented a petition from
the mayor and Aldermen of the city of Nat-
chez, praying for a donation of two half-
acre lots, for the purpose of erecting public
buildings thereon- Referred to the commit-
tee on public lands.
An engrossed bill authorising the pur-
chase of certain copies of the journals of
Con fress,was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Talmadge offered the following re-
solutions :
Resolved, that the secretary of the de-
partment of war be directed to lay before
this house, a statement ,,f the number of of-
ficers, uon-comniissioned officers, and soldi-
ers composing the army -of the U- States,
noting the number which may be wanting
to complete the present establishment.
Resolved, that the secretary of the de- j
parlment of war be Directed to lay before
this house, a statement of the number of
volunteers, either of artillery, cavalry or in-
fantry, whose services have been offered in
pursuance of the law authorising the presi- •
dent to accept of the services of any num- ,
ber of volunteer companies not exceeding
30,000 men. ,
i Mr. T..lmadge observed that itwonldbe
j remembered by every gentleman on that
I floor, that in the message of the president, at
the opening of the present session, it was
remarked, that whether or not "it would be
necessary, to increase our present military es-
tablishment, would depend on future cir.
cumstances. He presumed that every gen-
tleman felt the importance of maintaining
the dignity and honour of the nation ; and
in order to do this, & to be prepared to meet
any event which might occur ; it was cer-
tainly necessary to know what as our pre-
sent force. There was another reason (Mr.
T. said) ^hieh operated str ngly on ins
mind ; the house never failed at every ses-
sion to vote m*ney tor the support of the
army and navy, as well as of the civd
list ; and this could not be well done,
unless we knew the number of the es-
tablishment.—With respect to the second
resolution, he said, it would be recollected
that at the last session, (February, 1807) a
law had been passed authorising the presi-
dent to accept the services of a number of
volunteers not exceeding 30,000 men,which
law was to continue in force for two years
He thought it of importance to know what
number of volunteers had been accepted un-
der this law, and how far that number
could be relied on in case of emergency. It
would also be recoilected, that at a former
session a law had been passed, authorising
the president to call on the respective states
for a number of militia not exceeding
100 000 men. Tins law had been passed
in Feb. 1&0G, and was limitttd to two years;
it %vould of course expire next February—
He therefore hoped tne resolutions would
be agreed to.
Mr. Thomas had no objection to the first
resolution ; but he contended that; the se-
cretary at war would be unable to furnish
the information required by the second reso-
lution. It was true that two Jaws had been
passed, one authorising the president of tne
United States to order out 100.000 militia,
and the other authorising him to accept the
services of 30,000 volunteers ; but it would
be remembered, that the president in ids or-
der calling on the different states for their
respective quota of the 1.00,000 militia, had
directed jthe several executives to accept of
any volunteer companies which might offer
their services, as a part of ttie quota. He
knew that volunteer companies had been
accepted, which were not discriminated
whether as a part of the quota required by
the first law or the second. He hoped the
question on the resolutions would betaken
separately.
The question was accordingly taken on
the first resolution and agreed to.
Mr. Talitaadge made seme additional ob-
servations in favor of the second resolution,
insisting that the 100,000 militia required
by the first law, and the 30,000 volunteers
authorised to be accepted by the last, were
entirely different.
Mr. duiticy said, if it was true that the
secretary at war could not furnish the in.
formation required by the second resolution
the house ought to have positive information
of the fact. He contended, that if such
were the fact, the law had not been fairly
executed, lie had no doubt, however, but
the information could be obtained.
Mr. Chandler and Mr. Alston both con-
tnnded, that the information desired, could
not be obtained,
Mr. Thomas then moved, that the second
resolution should lie jou the table, for fur-
ther consideration.
Mr. Smilie asked if it was not necessary
for the house to know the real state of the
force on which we were to depend for the
1 defence of the nation ? He saw no good
reason for objecting to the resolution. If
the secretary at war could not give the whole
of the information required, he could give
what he knew. At all events, he said, the
resolution could do no harm.
Mr. Thomas's motion was lost.
The Question was then taken on the reso-
lution, and it was agreed to, nem. con.
The bill to incorporate tbe trustees of the
Baptist church, in Washington, was read a
third time and passed.
A message was received from the presi-
dent of the United States, staling that he
had approved and signed the act making
further appropriations for the support of the
navy during the year 3807.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the bill extending the right ef suf-
frage in the Mississippi Territory, and for
other purposes.
Tiiis bill was strenuously opposed by mr,
Troup, on the ground that if it passed, the
famous Yazoo interest would preponderate
in the Missippi Territory. An amendment
to the in at section was agreed to in commit-
tee of the whole, after some discussion ;
when the committee of the whole rose, and
repented the bill as amended A considera-
ble debate again took place in the bouse on
the said amendment, and the ayes and noes
wire sailed for by Mr Lyon on agreeing to
it. [The object of this amendment is, to
impose some instructions on the right of
suffrage,] The ayes and noes were taken,
and tlie amendment was lost ayes 4i, noe°
79.
The house adjourned about half past ,8 o-
clock.
The fallowing is the " Report in part,"
yesterday laid before the house by Mr.
Blount, from the committee to arh'om was
referred so much of the president's message
as relates to aggressions, &c.
That the numerous aggressions and vio-
lations of our jurisdiction recently committed
within our poits and waters by liritisli ships
of war, whether they are to be regarded as
the effects of positive orders from the Brit isfj
government, or as proceeding fiom that un-
restrained insolence and rapacity in British
navai commanders which previously produc-
ed the murder of our citizen John Pierce.,,
and tin." perpetration of many other well
leiiunioeied, outrageous and irritating acts,
are. convincing proofs of the necessity pf
placing our ports and harbors as speedily as
possible, in a situation to protect from insure
ami injury the persons and property of our
ciuz, its living in our seaport towns, or sail-
our own waters, and to preSerVf
therein the respect due to the constituted
jiU'h 1 ities of rl\e nation.
That the committee, having maturely con-
sidi 1. ;i the subject, are of 0.,; lion thi
proleciion desired can be best and mb
peditiously .iffo.dod by ioc:i< s oi land batte-
ries and jun boars, as tbev have been induced
to believe that by a judicious combination
and n,.,e oi these two powers, effectual pro-
tection can be given, even to our most im-
portant seapoit to Wns against siiips of any
size unaccompanied by an army.
That our most important ports and harbors,
and those requiring the e,;.h. t attention
and the most expensive fc lis are,
New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston, s. c.
Wilmington. N c. Norfolk, Baltimore,-Phi-
ladelpiiia, New Yr.rk, New London, New-
port, r. 1. Boston, Salem, Newbury port,

And that the ports, harhprs, and places
of minor importance requiring protection,
and which may be protected by the le^s ex-
pensive works, are St. Mary's, G. Beaufort
and G'-orge-To.»n, S- C. Ocracock. Al-

Wherefore, your committee holdingthem-
selves bound by the tenor of the resolution
referred to them, to report hereafter their
opinion of the expediency of interdicting.
the waters of the United States to foreign
armed vessels, according as circumstances,
now unknown, may when known, seem to
require, submit the following resolutions,
viz.
Resolved, That it is expedient to authorise
the president of the United States to cause
such fortifications to be erected as in addi-
tion to those heretofore built, will, with
the assistance of gun boats, afford effectual
protection to our ports and harbors, and
preserve therein the respect due,to the con-
stitutedauthorities ofthenation, & that there
be, and hereby is, appropriated for that
purpose, out of any monies in tne tieasury
not otherwise appropriated, the sum of

Resolved, That it is expedient to autho-
rise the president of the United .States to
cause to be built an additional number of
gun-boats not exceeding and to arm,
