was a iked to whom the French lugar on board be
longed ? He replied, to William Gray, ot Salem ;
upon which the perlon who atked the queftion, and

J mi. 8 A letter from ? gentleman at Martinique
to his friend here, mentions, that the merchants
there were in great conlrernation in conlVquence of
the approach of a peace between France and Great
Britain ; in which event, it was generally believed,
that that ifland would be returned to the former
power. That dry goods were a mere drug, and
that thole who hid them were endeavouring to
poih them off as fpeedily as pofiible. Such an event,
fo devoutly to be wiibed, may be nearer at band
than muft of us are aware of, arid ihould not be al
together held improbable, until we know' what ioi

have made on the executive directory.
