We have had the pleasure of conversing , with a respectable and intelligent gentleman just arrived from Detroit. He states that the prevailing opinion at the British settle ments in that neighborhood, is, that there will be a war between this country am! Gr," Britain. In corroboration of this opinion he states that there are now at Fort \m- herstburg, a British post about eighteen miles from Detroit, at least 2,000 Indians, almost exclusively warriors. That they are all armed, and supported at the expence of the British, and wi b great liberality ; and their arms, are guns, rifles and tomahawks ; i and that since August there has been con- stantly theie between two and three thou- sand In ca^e ot war it is expected that; under the auspices of the British, a general massacre? will take place, for which they are held in readiness, and from which none but those within the fort can expect to es- ; cane. Should such la nefarious measure be resorted to, our countrymen ran} rest assu- red that a dreadful vengeance will betaken : on its perpetrators. [Intelligence??] J FEDKtt E GAZETTE-. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29. It appears, by the Post office advertise- ment, that the Biitish Pocket sailed from New-York ten days earlier than she had in- tended. There exists no doubt with re- ef building a masonic hall in the city of SpPCt to the cause of this sudden flight ; the Baltimore, was read the second time and British minister, on being notified of the passed. The house proceeded to the second read- ing of the additional supplement to the act to ascertain the allowance of jurymen and witnesses, &c. and after amending the srame, the question was put. shall the said bill pass ? Resolved in the affirmative. On motion, the question was put, That the report on the petition of Rinaldo John- son now have a second reading ? Determin- ed in the negative.

Embargo, must have been peculiarly anxious to inform his government of so important an event; but whether he considers it hostile, we cannot presurbe to know. We could wish that Mr. ROSE bad arrived a fe , days sooner. It is said this Special Envoy has now arrived (in the Statira frigate) at Norfolk. A letter from a senator of the T7. States, of which we have had the perusal, says that the letters of Champsgny and Mr. Arm- strong, alluded to in the President's message, as confidential, relate solely to explanations on Bonaparte's blockading decree. [Rclf.] From the Lancaster (Pain.) Journal. In our last week's Journal, we expressed the hope we confidently entertained, that it would be in ovrr power to congratulate the friends of the consthutiwi, in the legislature of Pennsylvania, on the election of Mr. Tho- mas P. Cope, as a representative from the ci- ty of Philadelphia* That h and it will serve to remind them, that although, if di- vided, use of iepreseutatives of the U. S. Mr. Crowninshield offered the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, that the committee of com- merce and manufactures he instructed to in quire into the expediency of alio ving a fur- ther time for obtaining the benefit of DRAWBACK on goods, wares and mer- chandize exported from tha U. S. than is at present allowed by law , and that they have leave to report by bill or otnerwise. 2. Removed, that the committee of com- merce and manufactures be instructed to in- quire into the expediency of amending th« act laying an EMBARGO en vessels in the ports ot the U. S. so as to impose a more effectual restraint on the departure of tho-e vessels and on the exportation of goods from the U. S. ; and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Crowninshield observed, that with respect to the first resolution, it would be recollected] that twelve months after the importation of foreign goods were now al lowed to obtain the bentlit of drawback. Suppose that there was now in the United States, a great quantity of sugar, coffee and pepper, which had been in the United States nine months ; if this embargo should continue six months (and it might cojiti nue for a longer time) the holders of these articles would nevertheless have to pay a considerable drawback : To the second re- solution, he said, that, by the law laying an embargo, a vessel might clear out from Bos- ton or any other port for New Orleans, and slip (iff to the Weit-Lelies ; and shewoald only be liable to the penalty of the law of '94, which he believed was only Mve hun- dred dollars. He thought, as wehad an em- bargo, it ought to be effectual. Mr. Dana observed, that the embargo could not certainly continue a year, or even •¦ix. months, without greatly injuring the merchants of small capital, who had im- ported goods on credit, under the idea of receiving the drawback on exportation. He had no objection, however, to go into the inquiry prep -ned by the resolutions. The roselutisn* were then agreed to, n-in. con. The house went inso committee of the whole on the bill tor the relief of Anthony Beaucharle, which was agmed to, and or- dered to be read a mini time to-morrow. The house went into committee of the whole on the bill regulating giants of laud, and providing for the disposal of lands of the United Slates, south of the state of Tennessee. Some amendments were made to it, which were agreed to by the house, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The house went into committee of the whole on the report of the committee of commerce and manufactures on the petition of Andrew Joseph Villard. The report con eludes by a resolution, recommending that the sum of one thousand dollars be given to M. Villard for his invention and improve- ment in the mode of mounting heavy bat- tery cannon. The resolution was agreed to, and referred to a select committee of three members for the purpose of bringing in a bill. The house then adjourned. From the Merchants'1 CvJTee-Rouse Books.
