•' iTbe reply ofMerquisWellesleytnMr. Pinkney's
letter, informing him of the repeal of the Berlin
«nd Milan decree*, is just^och an one as was ex
-f pected. A* soon as those decrees cease to operate
the orders in cooneil are rescinded. We now have
HJoly wait, and see whether Buonaparte was in

Independent American states that a rumor is
| prevalent that the cabinet is seriously engaged iu
,4discussing the propriety of taking possession of
Wist Florida. The eastern boundary of the Louisi
i ana cession extended to the river Perdido ; but the
r Spanish or French did not eh use to permit us to
take possession, We passed a law establishing a
. custom-house at the Mobile ; but instead of rullect
lug duties we have been obliged m pay duties totbe“
l^e Prwnt situation, the first questi
on eSJefiave the Floridians any right to throw off all
^.‘"allegiance to the inother country? If/ they hav,
,V . thrown it off, as they cannot exist as an indepen
dent nation, if they are willing to come under our
. , government, ought we not to receive them ? if un
„ willing, are we not justifiable in compiling ihe.ii ?
We wish ne French, Spams^iior English flag, fly
V Jog there.—[Ibid.
THE MERINO SHEEP.
tbe sale of Messrs. Dunlops’ 2? Merino Sheep,
e which was advertised for Friday last, whs not ef
I j Jected—oning to a want of Bidder* /-^-The S'nerp
«, were paraded before the door of Messrs. W. & II.
Jiijiaxjjl, io very excellent condition, and there were
a number of spectators present ; some from ihe
jj' coup try *JU»d men of fortune too ; trot no one sfi'in
'T^td anxious to purchHSe—at least no disposition was
■jl shewn to give any tiling like the price which was
, looked for—After dwelling some time, with no en
Courageon-nt, the auctioneer laid by his hammer,
gt," the company dispersed, i.ndjjhe Sheep wers suffered
& to be carried bark to Roslm !—;—How great is the
difference in pubhr sentiment.as regard* there sheep,
in some parts of tbe union, from what it is in oth
av-ersl—lu tbe Northern and Eastern States, the .Me
^Cxinoes are sought after with the utmost avidity, and
ffigjha most extravagant prices given. Whereas in
YCy>rK'nlaJ' the greatest indiffcrenee is manifested a
'-^Boiit them ! Perhaps tbe cause may be found in the
-* spirit of manufacturing, whirl) more generally per
. vades the forrper than tbe latter. We pietmd not
to decide—The farmers and agriculturalists, should

concerns them. [Petersburg Intelligencer.
