Several Englilh Weftindia Iflandsl
have shut their ports against the A-I
mericans, 6wing to their having such
a number of their vessels ,nd seamen
unemployed-—there are also here a
great number of vessels unemployed
as well as seamen ; and some measures
must be taken to put a flop to the pre.
sent trade between these Islands and
America, or some new regulations
take place, otherwise every dollar will
vanish.
[This, with a federalift, is a good
cause for the Farmers of America to
pray fervent!, for the renewal and con
tinuance of war in Europe !]
The whale fifhery has been so pro.
duHive this year, that a greater num.
ber of ffiips than ever was known are
expe&ed to be fitted out the next sea
son, both for the South Sea and for
Greenland, from England.
The number of the inhabitants in
Greenland have increased amazingly
within these few years, owing in great
measure to the attention paid to them
by government, in giving them such
necessaries as they are in need of, as
well as temporary habitation. They
are become very industrious, fhooring
deer, bears, &c. and killing Whales.

An important letter from a gentle
man in Fayetteville, to the Editors,
dated the 15th inst. follows: "A let
ter received here yegerday, by a
young gentleman of the Academy,
, from his father a very refpeQable man
in Georgetown, S. C. dated the 11th
inst. fays:
. CT This town and neighborhood are
all in great alarm, four French frigates
from St. Domingo, were the whole of
yeftetday employed ip landing Brig
and Negroes at Mr. Alton's seashore
plantation) Waccaniaw, and it is said
they have not landed less than one
thousand. The militia are marching
h from all directions against them."
I presume those are the frigates that
were some time ago at Newyork, and
finding that they could not effect their'
design there, fleered round to take ad
vantage of a more defencelefs place."

" New Haven, Off. 20, 1802.
As you calculated, you are corred
I —the tory papers have attempted de-
Iceit—when the legislature convened
tin this town, Mr. Kirby had only 36
I votes for speaker it is true; but that
I this is the whole strength of the repub#
licans in the house of representatives,
is a gross misrepresentation, which
those who published it knewto be un-|
true; three days from this will provel
that we have in the legislature 70 de.l
mocrats, or more, that will prove their ;
faith by their works. Not one halfof
the democrats in the house voted for
Mr. Kirby, & they assigned two good
reasons for voting for Goodrich in
stead of Kirby, viz. ffl; they had no
profpea of being able to eled Mr.
I Kirby, and 2d, they thought if they
had, that it would be bad policy to
place him in the chair, and fuffer the
loss of his service on the floor.
" Mr. Kilby has brought in a bill
to repeal part of the ele&ion law past
a year ago for tory purposes, that part
of the law which provides that the
freemen shall rife upland be counted,
instead of voting by secret ballot, as
you do in Pennsylvania. A question
could not be proposed, that will more
fairly determine the ffrength of pars
ties. This mode of voting by rtfing
up, is the only hope of the tories in
Connecticut, and is the greatest im
pediment to the right of fuffrage, and
io the republican cause.
"From the best information that I
can obtain, we (hall have about 80
votes in the house of Representatives
on most qu^ftions, and 70 on all that
are interesting to the two parties.

Newark, (N. J.) Oct. 19. It'is a
ground of much rejoicing, not only }
to our political friends, but also to the I
judicious and upright part of the com-j
munity, of whatever name they may I
bear, that our fall ele&ions all around }
us. exhibit that ft raff attachment for j
liberty, which was the primeval caufel
of our separation from the mother 1
country. The vulgar attacks of the ;
tory editors upon die executive and ;
the republicans generally; had infpir-1
ed their friends with a sanguine hope,
that this year, should democracy be?
humbled. But in this they are difap- ;
pointed. The mischievous darts that|
have been hurled with saran like ma- I
lignity against our best men, fall harm.l
less at their feet ; and their integrityl
and virtue, present a shield which
" mocks the drawn dagger, and defies
its point."

" Federalifa Reviving !"
The stupid ediror of a Connecticut
paper published a paragraph under
this head, boaftintef the Ready hab
its of that state in me late election,—
This article (which no other Connec
ticut printer was so foolifh as to copy)
served very well for the federal print,
ers throughout the didanj :dates to
Imake a flourish with. These sapient
retailers of information did not kriow
that the number of republican repre
sentatives in the present legislature of
Connedicut will be double if not
more than double the number con
tained in the assembly the last year—
and this is the manner in which /cde.
ralifm is reviving in Connecticut !
, Boston, Nov. if
Georgia Election took place on the
4th ult. They fend four members to
Congrffs, all ofwhom are Republican
and ele&ed without opposition.
^Fbe following paragraph is copied
from the National Intelligencer,
arid the mod perfea reliance
may be placed on its correanefs.]
"An article has lately been
published from a Maflachulettf
newspaper, suggesting that the
government of the United States
had abandoned the claim upon
I the sugar refiners, for the duty
1 upon all such lugars, as were rfr
I fined before July and not fentl
'out of the refiners in or before
June. This article was firft pub
lished, avowedly to prove the
general unsoundness of the law
opinions, of Levi Lincoln, Esq;
the Attorney General of the U.
States. Though lam a perft# .
stranger to that gentleman, I
wish to do an a& of limplejuf.
ftice to him and to the govern
ment, by Bating it as certain .
(without fear of contradiction)
that the claim of the U. States
on the sugar refiners has not
been abandoned. On the con
trary, inftru&ions have been
long since given by the treasury
to receive the money or take the
usual bonds in October, for the
duties on lugars refined before
July, and sent out of the refiners,
in the current quarter : and so
of other quarters till the whole
shall be fettled.
Instead of a doubt on the part
of government with refpe& to
soundness of Mr. Lincoln's opin
ion, either in law or realon it is
known to stand confirmed by the
Iconvictions it has produced in
I the minds of others. There is
I not the least intention to difeufs
I here, the merits of the govern
j ment's claim, nor to effeft the
larguments of gentlemen con
cerned in the refiners nor those
! of their numerous and able coun-
I fel. For shall the repelled at
tempt to injure Mr. Lincoln lead
tinto any unkindness or dilreflect
;to those who have interests or o
;pinions different from those of
I government, though such vain
attacks upon a good man in our
highest law office (accompanied
iby a ipirit of hostility to the gov
ernment) have drawn forth these
vindicatory truths.
"Those Editors of hewfo^-
pers, who have published the ar
iticle referred to, will do honor
I tb their candor in printing this
short reply. They will allo 1
I have the Satisfaction of doing
justice to the government of our
country, by informing our fel
(low citizens, that it is the per
