The senate have rejected the bill to prevent the employment of foreign seamen, by a majority of one vote; owing, it is said, to the accidental absence of several members when the question was taken-all the "federalists" voting against it. The president has communicated the order in council (see page 414) to congress, reprehending its policy as it deserves.
