am confirmed in the opinion that nothing will be
done here until we shall havbr done justice to our-
selves by our own measures. The Ministry is. t
think, well disposed, but they will not act in op-
position to the remonstrances of the Shipping inte-
rest, and of the Chamber of Commerce, which
have been consulted. That of Paris is advpse to
our proposal. Indeed Mr. Oasquier informed me
that that of Bourdeaux alerit has given an opinion
favourable to them."

Late accounts from Havannah state, that a
Buenos Ayres ship, of 54 guns and 500 men,
commanded by 'Commodore Jewett, had appeared
oft that port, with, do doubt, hostile intentions;
that the Governor hod ordered two ships of 24
gums each to he fitted out in order to bring her in,
and that :t hot press had taken place.
HEALTH OF TUE CITY.--We have the autho-
rity of the resident Physician for saying, that, with
the exception of the diseases incident to children
at this reason of the year, the city was never more
healthy; and that the citizens may rest assured,
that, whenever there is any cause for alarm, the fact
shall not be withheld from them one single mo-
ment. Idle reports were on foot last Saturday,
but have since been refuted.

(From the Commercial Advertiser of the I3th.)
The Canada Papers from Quebec to Niagtua
speak of a fruitful season and a plentiful harvest
of grain. The crops of hay, it is thought, will fall
short of the ordinary yield, in consequence of the
drought.
ISLE AUX ISOIX.

It is announced m the Papers, that the Governor
of Canada has lately visited and inspected the posts
of Chantilly, St. John's, and Isle Aux !Sink. At
the latter place we learn the British are expending
lare sums of money in erecting extensive and
strong fortresses. It is difficult to comprehend the
14,11(1, of this measure, or are the Utility of such
fettdicatious, eithur in pence or liar, as the
Canadal. es well as the mother country, manifest a
pe:fectly pacific disposition towards the United
States. The English reenents quartered in Ca-
nada are. probably, employer! on these works merely
to ketp thvin out of idleness.
