CHARLESTON, JULY 3.—lntelligence has reached
Russelville (K.) that the Province of West Florida
wilt in less than two. months throw themselves un-
der'the prote&ion of the United States, if it is con-
sistent for them to be received—if not, under the
Government of Mexico. Consultations are daily
holding with the Governor at Baton Rogue ; none
of the inhabitants are now afraid to. approach • him
with propositions. They all equally despise 13vona-
parte, since they find he has possession of Spain.
The Duke of ORLEANS has; we find, interposed
in the cause of Spain, not mote from the impulse of
hOnourable feelings, and a. sense of what isdue to
his august family, ilran from an attual solicitation on
the part of the present Government of that country.
We most sincerely hope that the influence< of the
Prince, who is related to,the unfortunate Royal Fa-
mily of Spain, and whose personal virtues apd mili-
tary talents entitle him to the respell and confidence
of mankind, may contribute to release the nations
of Europe from the tyranny of the vulgar ruffian by
whom they have so long been insulted and oppressed.

MR. EDITOR,

Th 6 BOIIDETTITES) and other levelling faaions„
are greatly incensed against Mr. GoLnsAtcrn, fur
having shewn the practical horrors attending their
principles, and for exposing the crimes of BUONA-
PARTE, whom Mr. PITT so properly denominated
" The Child and_ Champion Jaeobitirsin." The
Gallic Usurper was, indeed, the hideous offspring
of Jacobinical principles, ar.d he maintains- those
principles by a merciless - war with all G.overnments;
consecrated by time and experience. l'he .great
. charge whiCh these men bring aglizr f Mr. GOI.D-'
SMITH is, that he once was a strenuous suf,l,orter of
those %try principles which he now arraigns; but
is a man always to remain in error, and th vet- to
profit by observaVon ? - Mr. GOLDSMITH, with
many others, whom it woul.lbe invidious to name
now that they are sensible of their mistakes; was
dazzled by the glareof the French:Revolution, and
he offers the following apology for his' former de-
lusion, And justification of the' total change in his
Sentiments, which time and experience have pro-
duced. What be says receive a•liberal int! rpie-

A& ANTIGALLICAN..

The harvest is now generally begun throughout
Norfolk cud Suffolk ; and there is every appearance
of an average crop-both of hard and soft torn.—
Some injory has been Sustained on the heavy lands
(*tom the violent rains and unusual storms
last week, particularly .on Thursday last ; but the
weather beivg now very favourable, it is hyped that
it will con:inue so, to ensure the bless.ng of
.a good
ani p:e;atitil crop.
A !etter from Peniance, dated the 16th instant,
say,—" I am happy to say, that the wheat and
barley crops throughout the. 'county of COrtiwall.ate
in au excellent state, and the farmers anticipate an
abundant harvest. Time corn never looked better
thAn it does at present ; and the late rains, so far
from haviiig injured' 11,11avelinproved its appear-
ance.",

" The wheat harvest yeSterday became general
in this vicinity, and we are happy to learn, that,
with some partial exceptions, arising from local si-
tuations, the crop has rather been benefited than in-
jured by the late rains not so the hop plantations,
which have suffered much, particularly in those
grounds unsheltered from the wihds. Ao order of
Lient. Gen. Nicolls, the Commander in Chief of this
distrid, has been issued to cotnmanding officers of
corps, direding them to give every possible faci-
lity and assistance, in consequence of the late un-
firvourable weather, in getting in the harvest, con-
ktent with thecommander in Chief's instructions."

A dreadful. hail-storm fell, on Wednesday last, in
the neighbourhood •of Chelmsford, and did con-
siderable
.damage ainongst the ripe corn. .One
farmer in the neighbourhood of Billericay bad dis-
posed of his standing crops at a valuati:ln, but did
not close the bargain until Thursd.ty; when he was
obliged to allow a deduction of 1001. from the
original 'valuation, in consequence of the damage
occasioned by the storm on the preceding day. • ,
