IMPORTANT.
The sloop Thomas, capt. Law, arrived at the mouth of the Eider in 32 days from N. York. A letter from the supercargo, dated the 4th ult. to his owner in this city says:
Off the Texel, was boarded by the United States schooner Enterprise (sent there some time since by government) and was informed that the ports of Amsterdam were shut against American vessels; that all vessels that had entered the Texel had their papers returned to the commanders of the several ships (except those that had been spoken by the British cruisers) were ordered to proceed to sea; but were ultimately prevented from sailing by an embargo which has lately been laid on all American vessels.
