Exft:3 of a Letter from a Loyalif in Ne^-ferfe,, dated
ai# May.
" TTTIIAT I predicted with refpeft to the trade of Phila-
W delphia, in my letter of theist instant, you will find
verified, by the inclofed paper of the 19th, which contains a
lift of 27 arrivals in"that port, in the course of one month.
“ The sweets ofahis commerce, has a wonderful effect in
keeping up the spirits of the violent there, without which,
they and their leaders must have decamped.
" You will no doubt have heard, that Mr. Robert Mor
ris has accepted the appointment of Financier-General ; he
is an enterprising person in the commercial world, and will
make great efforts to introduce hard money, and establish a
foreign credit.—The trade of that city, if left longer open will
afford him resources, especially as he will add thereto, the ex
port of tobacco from Maryland, which you know, is transpor
ted in different places from the Bay of Chefapealr, with a por
tage of 10 or 12 miles. At all events, if the publick derive
no benefit from this appointment, the Financier and his friends
will .fill theif coffers, and convert their paper into hard dollars.
, '" Flour, by the great demand to supply Rhode-Ifland, Ha
vana, and the French Islands, has risen to 275. per cwt. in
good Spanish dollars ; and had the Delaware been blocked up,
Don Galvez with the Spanilh fquadren and troops, could not
have approached Pensacola,
" We are told, you lately had more than „ pendant ships
in the port of New-York; this I cannot credit, for I am cer
tain, was it true, your Admiral would long c're this, have
annihilated the rebel commerce ; especially, as that commerce
is the only source, which prolongs the war in this country."
The following paragraph is taken from the Pennsylvania
Pacl^t, dated May 10.
" On Monday last Captain Lyon (arrived from the Havana),
saw off the Capes of Virginia, thirty fail of veflels, feme of
which appeared to be very large men of war ; and next day he
saw eight fail more of large ships. Two of the fiift mentioned
fleet gave chace to the latter, for some hours, under French
colours."
The southern rebels console thcmfclves on the loft of vast
quantities of tobacco, destroyed by the British troops at Pe
tersburg, &c.'&c. with this palliative, that the tobacco still
left in- Virginia, will command a price adequate to the da
mages sustained as above, so that in fad they fay 'twill pave
to loss at all. /., -

Charlestown, June 23.
WE are well informed, that some days previous to the sur
render of Pensacola, the Spanilh General Don Galvez
received accounts of the post at the Natches being taken by
the English inhabitants of the upper country, affixed by the
Indians, and all the garrison made prisoners.
This very unexpected event considerably deranged his plan
of op< nations, and has occasioned his fending a body of one
thousand troops and several of his armed gallies up the Mif
fifippi.
. The inveteracy the Indians, particularly the Chickefaws
and Creeks, and the far major part of the Chodaws, entertain
against the Spaniards, almost exceeds belief.
Galvez, when he saw the numbers of the garrison, could
rot refrain from paying the tribute justly due to their gallant
exertions, and candidly acknowledged that Gen. Campbell
had gained great honour by the defence, while he himfelf,
considering the amazing disparity of force, could claim none.
THE fubferiber's bad Rate of health obliging him to leave
the Province, he earnestly requests thofc indebted to him,
and who have experienced so much indulgence, to fettle to
Lis fatisfadtion before the 30th of next month.
