of the sovereign people collected toge
ther vith drum :\nd fife, lighted up an
old tar barrel, suspended an old alma
nack over the flames, and sung the fu
neral dirge ol the constitution while it
was consuming, ihis act of sovereignty
gave great oflence to the sober citizens
ol this p!ace,who convened at the Court
house a few nights afterwards, and en
tered their solemn protest against the
proceeding. 1 he resolutions containing
the protest will, I am told, be'publishi d
in the papers of next week. Will not
this he truly farcical t
‘k The v hole clamor against the Judges
is su; posed to have originated in a de
sign, entertained by a lew, of breaking
down the federal Judiciarv. A propo
sition from Vermont, to alter the consti
tution, in the article respecting the Ju
diciary,has been submitted to die House.
They have not yet acted upon it.”
•Extract of a letter from New-Orleans,
dated November 30, 1807, to a gen
tleman in Wheeling.
“ Markets were never so dull as they
are this season. Shortly after mv arri
val, [in Sept.] Monongaheli flour would
not bring five dollars cash per barrel.
Flour from Philadelphia and 11 du
ra ore then sold at ten and a half and elc -
ven dollars; at present it will not bring
more than seven dollars, at 90 davs cre
dit. Monongahela would not now bring
more than four and a half dollars, at 5
or G months credit: some, of a good
quality, has been sold at auction, for
cash, at two dollars and fifty cents pti
barrel.
“ Last week seven boats of flour, chief
ly from Charleston, made at Patterson's,
Hartford’s, and Marshal's mills,arrived
here. They could get no offer and \vcr<
obliged to store the cargoes. I am lold
there are 15 or 20 more boats coming
on, between this and Natchez. It is mv
opinion that flour will not bring more
than first cost next spring. Money is
.carce. Merchants are breaking almost
every day. It has become so common
to take the hem fit of the insolvent act. I
they seem to think nothing ol it."'
Extract of a letter lrc n Richmond, da- |
ted the 3d Inst, to a gentleman in this !
place.
“The embargo recently laid on our
commerce, lr»s thrown hutiness into
great confa ton. The prices ol articles
for exportation, at true place, hav fallen
■>0 per tent or more. Several merchants
have stopped payment. The genera! con
clusion here is, that war is inevitable.
In ray opinion the present is an event
ful moment: the clouds of violence and
war seem fast approaching, and in some
degree to obscure our horizon : but let
the patriotic sons of liberty rally round
their standard, and there is no danger
of an inundation.”
The President of the United States
has ordered a Court of Enquiry to sit
on Gen. Wilkinson. The court, we
hear, consists of Colonel Rurbeck of the
Artillery, Col. Cushing of the Infantry,
and Col. Williams, of the Engineers.
