** The peace between Spain, and the aL
ms certainty of its being followed by the
Emperor, iliU keeps up that lajftude of bu
fnefs which has prevailed here for the las
fx months, About fourteen days ago a
seizure was made en board an American
vefel, of specie, intended to be exported, and
uotwithfanding the proprietor proved to
the Committiee t of public fafety, that the
fame was the identical money he received
fibt Government) for four fold them, it
being in barrels all marked, yet there are
but feeble proffers that it will be rfared
to hun. The advantage ^hat has accrued
to the ciflom house officers by this event, has
made them very vigildht, and at present)
every American is afraid to venture to ftp
ff what he has received for goods fold,
•* You have deubtlfs heard of the fate
if the American vefels that wentfrom this
to Rujfia in the spring ; they were •ordered
to Quit St, Peterjburg in 24 hours on pain
of death, and Capt, Lambert in Mr, God
teatfs employ, was unloaded, Three vejfcls
are now at Copenhagen, It is obferveable
that the Swedes and Danes seems in a man
ner to have flopped coming here ; the few
that do arrive are loaded with boards and
sea Coals,

SIR,
TWO years have not elapsed since a cor
refpondencc took place between us, on the
{ubjed, the most diftreffihg ever known to
Americans. The dreadful calamity with
which our city was visited, alarmed the
United States, from one extreme to the
other. We became an objed of benevo
lence of many of our neighbours, and we
recoiled with t^e most lively gratitude the
part which the city, of New-York took in
the affliction, and the generous assistance
w« received from thence. Wc lament that
you are now fuffering under visitation, and
wc feel the rnoft poignapt diiliefs for your
calamitous situation.
Under the influence of these sensations
the sum of seven thousand dollars hath been
colleded ?mong my fellow citizens, which
1 have the pleasure of forwarding to you,.!
at their dwfire, in the inclqfcd draft on the !
bank of New-York, requesting that you i
will be p’eafed to cause it to te applied to
the us» of th« poor and difireffed of your
city. I ■
