A letter from Manchester of the 7th instan►, say.,
" We feel great pleasure in stating, that there is
every probability of this populous town once untie
returning to a state of quiet. A falling off has rws-
tlently taken place in the number of the rcfractosy
weavers. and a comatierable purt ttttt are again in-
dined to return to %sulk. No iticlitiatitm to riot

Persaenla stands on the west side of the bay of
that, r name. From a number of good observations
by Mr. Elliot, its latitude is 30. 23. 43. north, and
its longitude 87. 14. 15. west from Greenwich.
The latitude of the bar at the entrance into the
hay, is about 30. 18. north, and the longitude 87.
17. west from Greenwich. The harbour of Pen-
sacola is rendered of little value from a singular
cause. The worms its the harbour are SO OUSSIcrOIIi
that a veesel's bottom is generally ruined in two
months ; and it is absolutely necessary for all ers-
itrls copper-bottomed, laying in the harbour, to
Ise hove slow iriuml cleaned every five ur six weeks.
The entrance lido the bay is defended by a mindl
fort ou the west end of St. Rose's Island, amid a
battery on the Main land nearly opposite to it.
The Coesiecult fills into the head of Pensacola
nay, which is a b-autifol body of water, well stored
with a variety of fine lish, crabs, and oysters, and is
justly considered one of the best harbours on the
whole coast; vessels not drawing more than twenty-
one feet of water so my cross the bar at all tithes with
safety.
This river has generally, though errotieously,
hero called the Escambia. which it the name of a
much smaller stream that falls into it from the
west, u t distance above Miller's Place. The
batiks of the Corm-cult, during a large partiosi of
the Spline, are inutidated for many miles down to
Pentacolis flay, with very few exception..
• The emplaiid of West Florida is generally of a
very inferior quality. The river bottoms sod flats
are ferule, but too inconsiderable as to quantity, or
too •Imw and marshy, to give much value to the
provite.,e.
