NEW Vont.,_ JUNII 4.—Since tae artival of the
United States Sloop of War Wasp at Paisamaquod-
dy, a great number of Boats hatie tieti seized
smu4sling flour. The Veiiiels there; which have
not discharged their cargoes, wilt take them away
again. Flour, &c. which is landed, is not allotted to
be taken away unless bonds are given, and the
amount thereof in specie deposited %at the Custom-
house. All the stores are stri&ly guarded, and no
sale for flour at any price. The Age& for Govern-
ment, who was sent there to execute the laws, has
been taken into custody by the Commander of the
Wasp, as being concerned in smuggling.

It is now reduced to a melancholy faa (says a Rut-
land, Vermont, Paper of May 28), that a set of un-
principled speculators, on and about Lake Champ-
lain, are determined to oppose and evade the Em-
bargo law at all events. The interposition of a
small detachment of the Militia, which is now about
to be made, we believe, will disperse these trans-
gressors of our laws, and induce them to- return to
their respective homes.
.
6.--From the Virginia Herald, published
at. Iredericksburgh, we learn, says The Walsingham
Federalist, that the best flour may be purchased there
at the ruinous and almost unprecedented price of
threedollars per barrel.
This intelligence we conceive to be both import-
ant and interesting ;--important, because it proves
to denniustiatiOn the evil of this fatal Embargo.

,
JUNE United States Sloop of War the
Wasp arrived at Boston on Friday last from Passam-
aquoddy.
KNOXVILLE, Mat 14.--,We understand that two
companies of Militia; from, West Tennessee, have
been ordered out, and, are now on duty on our
frontiers, in order to protect the Citizens from the
depredations of the Indians; who are becoMing very
troublesome.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MONTREAL, MAY

f,lB, 1808

The Boats of the ilachill-Mackinac Company,
under the sanction of the Treaty of 1794, and the
special provisions of an Att of the last Congress, were
laden with goods in the Indian trade, and were pro-
ceeding on the usual route, when, as they were turn-
ing the point of Like Ontario, the Collector at Nia-
gara, aided by the troops of the Garrison, fired upon
them, brought them to, and seized their goods, and
turned them adrift; destitute of provisions. This
outrage is equally in violation of the Treaty of 1794;
and of the Laws of the United States, and in dire&
contradiaion to the assurances lately given by the.
American Gov, rnment, of their determination to re-
sped the permanent Articles of that Treaty."—( New
York General .riclvertiser.)

The State of New York has passed a law, offer-
ing a reward of 50 dollars to anyone who shall
`bring a full-blooded Merino Ram into any State of
that .county, where no such Ram was before.—
For the encouragement of manufactures it has
also passed a law for granting premiums of 150,
75, and 50 dollars, for the first, second, and third
best specimens of woollen cloth, of certain dimen-
sions.

The great encouragement.(says The Quebec Mer-
cury) held out by the present House of Assembly for
the growth and culture of hemp, will, no doubt,
have a powerful influence, and produce a coniidera-
ble emulation among the industri-us farmers of
the country ; the price offered being one hundred
,pounds, York currency, per ton, to be paid in hard
cash.

FROM A NSW YORK. PAPER, DATED THE 6TH 31710 E.
FATAL DUEL !—A Gentleman in this town (New
York) has politely favoured the Editor of this Pa-
per with the following extraa of a letter from his
friend•in Fincastle, dated the toth May, 1808:
" Colonel Andrew Lewis this night received a
special.message from Christ ianburgh, Montgomery
County, commuilicating the death of his son, Mr.
Thomas Lewis, fallen in a duel this morning ; and
that his opponent, Mr. John'M'Fienry, was just ex-
piring at the departure of the said messenger. Thus
it is told—Lewis challenged M`fienry to fight with
pistols: the latter declined, but said he would fight
with rifles at the distance of 15 steps—it was
agreed. to by Lewis—they met, find loth
Lewis was shot through the heart, the other a
little below."
We have seen another letter from Fincastle of the
same date, which states the cause of the dispute be-
tween Lewis and Milenry ; it was concerning the
Montgomery eleaion.
,Mr. IVl'Henry had been eleaed this spring as De-
legate to the Assembly of this Commonwealth from
Montgomery; in which capacity he had acted for
several Sessions past. Mr. Lewis was a promising
young man, and had just commenced the pradice of
the law; and from the able manner in which he ac-
quitted himself in .the, causes upon which he had
been called to speak, promised great credit to the
profession. Mr. M*l-lettyy died the day following
their rencoutre. Thus nave two young men, like
many others, in the pursuit of false honour, frus-
trated the views of their parents, defeated the pur-
pose for which they were made, and madly rushed
into an unknown world I—(Staunton Censor.) .

At the trial of an a6tiou a few days ago, in the
Court of King's Bench, Dublin, brought to recover
compensation for a quantity of Port wine which had
beeq damaged by bad corks, one of the witnesses,
a Reverend Gentleman, was complimented by the
Counel.on the ruddiness of his complexion and the
comtortableness of his appearance, mentioned hav-
ing tried an experiment which may prove interest-
ing to wine-bibbers in general. In consequence
of the bad tuck, mentioned by a preceding witness,
and which indeed rendered the wine nearly urr-
drinkable, he caused it to be dec.'inted off in fresh
'bottles, with fresh corks, and he found, after
two months, That the taste and flavour of his wine
was considerably
,impioved.

Modelling has lately been much studied. in the
higher circles, as a branch of fashionable education.
The Princess of WALES has made great progress In
that art. Her Royal Highness has made bUsts of
the Duke of BRUNSWICK and herself, and h.is made
several copies of them, and presented them to her
particular friends.
