" A large force is colleaed in the Eyder and the
Weser, of gun-boats, armed hriga, &c. and many
think they will attempt to burn the lower town
when the ships of war leave us.
"'Tobacco is sold by auction 'at 3id. to 4d. which,
hardly covers the charges. Fine Londim loaves are
sdling at bid. to bbd. Good coffee at aid. No
purchasers but, the natives, who have bought up
large parcels of colonial produce."
Nett month it is expeCted that there will be a
ballot for the Militia, by which the 2d battalion of
almost -every regiment will be completed, and may
speedily be fitted for service.
