This 'into is felt with peculiar force inlhts and the New England States, us a large portion Of it was car ried on from these states. By adverting to Mr. rithin's statistical work, we find the amount of the West India trade to have been 'very great, as the following table of Otports for a number .ot years will hew 1795 1796 1797 - 1798 /799 1800 ISOI • - 5,446,5:t; i:147,023 4,283,910 Y3t495,21A (5,404,763 9,699,7.72 g no aggregate of a little Short, in the space of seven years, of thirty-seven millions of dollars. In the three succeeding years, viz, in 1802, 1803, and 1804, they amounted to some thing more than eighteen millions of dollars— m,king in ten years an aggregate of rising fifty five millions of dollars. " During eke years. 1805, 1806, and 1807," says Mr. Pitkin, " the t•olue of the exports was nearly the same as in the preced ing years." As our own ships were principally cm , - cloyed in this trade, the profits and advan- , loges arising from Ode sources were chiefly con fined to the American merchant. • The American. tonnage employed in this trade on an average of 'the years 1799, 1800, and 1801, was 131,123. This into:ens,- trade, so lucrative and so_im portant„ to this country, and especially to the New England States, and the States of New York, is in a great measure lost to as. When it is considered that almost all the articles exported were the produce of our country, the loss sus tained is immense, and it is felt by alt»ost the whole community.--for not only the , merchant, hut the farmer who raises the grain, the live stuck, and pros isions, the ship-carpenter who builds the 'vessels, the sailors who navigate them, the fisher man, and the lumber-man, are all of the number. Indeed, tt vast proportion of property vested in vessels in the New England States, most he a slead loss to the owners. The trade which in fit sine will be 'carried on from these states with the lt r itid ) islands, will be done almost entirely in English bottoms, Whilst our own will either, be transferred to foreigners, or rot at the wharves. it is difficult to see what substitate for this very great and important branch of trade is to be found. What new business can be discovered that than compensate for an export trade, which amounted in ten years to fifty-five millions of dollars ? The answer to this questiou is of the highest moment to the eastern states. SCARCITY. - The scarcity of bread corn in the States 'of New nampshire and Vermont, in the northern parts of New-York and in Canada, is so great. as to ex cite painful apprehensions on account of the poorer clas.es of society. in some places corn Maas been sold as high as three dollars per bushel, end flour from fifteen to twenty dollars per barrel. Great quantities of none have been purchased in this l and the neighbouring towns, anti at New York, for the country and Canada market. Bat ,the greatest apprehension arises'from the fact, that ►rain cannot be procured in many of the interior towns at any price. The picture of distress is very much heightened by the gloomy forebodings of an increased and prolonged scarcity. On account of the extreme backwardness of the season, and severe drought, the prospects , of the farmer arc distressing almost beyond precedent. the grass in many districts does not promise a quarter ryt" a corp I corn is very poor, and it is ,fearful that but very little of it will come to mrm turity. 'Wheat, rye, and oats look the most pro mising. Some of the pastures are completely dried up, and present the appearance of a brown heath. In an excursion to the north part of the stare, the editor found it impossible to obtain grass for his team as some inns, 'even from the meadows. The rain of Wednesday was a rich blessing; and we hope its extent has been corn tm ens ura te with its wan t (Albany ..4rgus , July 19.)

They are, us usual, beginning to find flaws in this brilliant victory, in the Admiral who conducted it, the Ministers who planned it, Find the Dispatch which announced it. It is in truth a subject not very pleasing to them, for in the first place, it is a grand national triumph, and in the second, the exertions and talent (we fear the word) of our Naval Administration, in saccomplishing-the Expedition, are so undeniable, that it is really as galling to the Party as to the Day of Algiers. The Chief engine for enligia ening toe public QII, the subject of Opposition Poli tics lb of course exceedingly indignant with Lord Exmouril, because he acknowledges bow much he is indebted to the. Admiralty Board for the Means of executing the service entrusted tb him, so fully, so promptly, so effectually, and so ad mirably placed at his disposal. When we call to mind' the difficulty of manning even asingle frigate, which furnished the party with argument enough, the celerity and ability displayed in fitting out the armament agieinst Algiersdo indeed forma contrast too strong to the Planners of the Dardanelles and . Buenos Ayrea exploits to be readily forgiven.— Weil, out of sheer compassion to the friends of All the Talents i we must excuse their little sple. netie effusions on this melancholy occasion. To-thly: we continue our Extracts front the tkuterican Papers. They-serve finelY as a context to our exhibition yesterday of the conclusise fact, that in One State, in One day, the Executive Power was selling, under the Warrants of the Sheriff, the leases of nine houses, and two thou sand and forty-one acres of land, besidetrotber lots anti plantation, for arrear of taxes due in- 1815 (the preceding year only), and amounting altogether to four hundred and eighry.five dot-, lars, fifteen cents. Pur even such a trilling sum as OneDollar,%vere the hapless inhabitants of a house deprived of their residence, and touted to seek a refage where charity might allot it. And this is the country to which our base anti perverse met contents are enticing their wretched coontrymen to emigrate. This is the country which they are told to prefer to great and glorious Britain. This is the country eulogized for the matchless liberty of its population by such Renegades as CoMUTT, and his associates, especially in the Irish Press.— This is the country of " no taxation," and where all the necessariest, of life are so cheap ! Loalt at these statements in its own Journals. Look at Om lamentation for stagnated commerce, in one branch alone sinking fifty-five millions of dollars on an average of ten years. Look at the price of food— Potatoes, as we copied from the Salem Gazette into Tit s SUN of Saturday, exported from Ireland where they sold at eight-pence per bushel, and ve►►ded in America at two dollars, perhaps to de luded 'lrishmen, who had been betrayed across the Atlantic by the vile machinations of such Writers as we have named, and Dublin Posts and Chronicler, re-echoed by all the leaser receptacles or riisoitection `throdottgir'oui the pinvinces. cola (see the article entitled .`carcity) at three dollar* per bushel, and flour from 15 to 20 dollars per barrel. Earnestly do we trust that these appalling facts may warn our Mistaken Countrymen and stop the current of migration, which, if entered upon, will plunge theist into the gulp!► of misery 00 11 despair. The desbent to Hell, says Vinolf. its a language which we will not quote, because we address theft remarks to the least achooled classes of the people—the descent to Hell easy, but the return atteudd ,with unsurmouot able difficulties.
