Gazette Of The United States & Evening Advertiser

This day in the House of Representatives of the United States, a bill, entitled "An Act to suspend the importation of certain goods, wares, and merchandize" was read the third time and passed. The preamble to this act recites the resolution published yesterday, in which the injuries suffered by the United States from Great Britain are enumerated, and then goes on to prohibit the importation into the United States, of any goods, wares, or merchandize whatever of the growth, produce, or manufacture of Great Britain or Ireland, from and after the first day of November next—excepting such articles as are now exempted from duty. This prohibition to cease as soon as the claims and demands of the United States against Great Britain, shall be satisfactorily adjusted—and proclamation thereof made by the President of the United States.
