We observe that an idea is in circulation in some of the Gazettes, that there is a prospect of an early accommodation with Great Britain. We wish it may be founded on any recent indications, on the part of Great Britain, of a disposition to meet the liberal advances of our government. Of such a disposition we have however no proof. Of the perseverance of the United States in their pacific disposition, we have no doubt that every additional proof will appear from time to time that circumstances may render proper. We allude more particularly to its being intended, as we learn, to introduce into the Legislature a proposition for excluding by law foreign seamen from the public and private vessels of the United States. This will provide for giving effect to any stipulated arrangement between the two governments which may take place after the adjournment of Congress, without the delay and inconvenience incident to a special call for the purpose.

The House of Representatives were yesterday again occupied with the discussion of the bill for raising an additional military force of 20,000 men, which has become more interesting as it progresses onward.
