Several- EngtWh Weft-lndia Illands have (hut
their ports against the Americans, owing to their
having such a number of their veflbls and seamen
unemployed—there are also here a great number
of vessels unemployed,as vtell as seamen ; and fume
measures multbe taken to put a flop to the pres
ent trade between these Inlands and American or
some new regulations §ake place, otherwise every
dollar will vanish. „
The whale fishery has been so productive this year
that a greater number of flops than ever was
known are expected to be fitted out the next sea
son, both for die South-Sea and Greenland, from
England..
The number of the inhabitant in Greenland have
increased anwzingly within these few years,owing,
in a great mbafure to the attention paid to them
by goveffimeut ingiving them such ueceffaries as
they are in-need of, as well as temporary habita
tion. They are become very industrious, (hooting
deer, bears, &c. and killing whales.
If the fame bounty to the South Sea whale fifh
termen, is held out here now as was the case before
the war; there can be no doubt but that new ad
venturers would soon be found. Encouragement
fiould also be given to the fifhery here as it would
keep an astonishing sum in these islands. The
above deserves serious consideration, and we trust
will be attended to ; for without some means is
soon devised to employ our seamen, every dollar
will be drained from us.

“ FEDERALISM-REDING !”
The itupid editor of a Connecticut paper publi
(lied a paragraph under this head, boafling of the
prevalence of the steady habits of chat ttate in the
late elections This article (which ho other Con
necticut printer was so foolifh as to copy) served
very well for the federal printers throughout the
ditlant Itates to nlake a fl<urifh with. These sapi
ent retailers of information did not know that
the number of republican reprefehtatives in the
present legislature of Connecticut will be double
if not more than double the number contained in
the Assembly the last year—and this is the manner
in \virich federallym is revising in Connedicut !

And while our Hearts are filled with gladness at
the remembrance of the loving kindness of the Lord,
let us with humility acknowledge our unworthi
hefs—confefs our transgressions, and beseech Di
vine direction and guidance—
That it would please Almighty God to have the
Government of the United States and those of the
several States under his holy protection—that he
would rule our Rulers, teach our Teachers, that
they may have wisdom to discern and integrity to
perfue such measures as shall tend to his glory and
the lading welfare of the people—That all ranks
and orders of Men may rightly estimate the Civil
and Religious privileges we enjoy, be prevented
from delusive pursuits, and remember that they
are accountable to the Divine Author of these
Blessings for the manner in which they use them—-
That he would bestow his blessing on the means
of Education and public InflfUctibh, that Virtue
and ufeful Knowledge may be more and more in
