as for substitutes.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at

A ship has arrived from the iiavannah, !stinging
inti.l;iy,e;ice to the iith hlt. Government At that piAce
min threatened to carry into effect the instructions
received to shut the ports of Cuba to foreign ships,
hut it was att• nded with two difficulties, that aup,..Areil
to be insurmountable ; the one was, that the troops
%vete insuil:c:ent to Carry into erect such orders, and
the other that the necessary expenditure exceeded the
snesns the. C:vil Authorities possessed, without the
7ssistance to the revenue derived from the foreign
commerce.

difficulties had recently existed between the Chinese
and English. One dispute :roe from Sir Gitoas
SI-el:ems (British agent at Canton, and who was in
Lord NisCaturtiee'S Embassy) undertaking to write
and send presents to the Prime ginister. This gave
great offence to the superior officer at Cataitn..—
An :tier dispute was occasioned by an application
from the British for the exclusion of Ameticau Ova-
teers, as m-n 01 w.tr are not allowed to ascend the
river ; but the Chinese answered, that if British men
of war britta_4llt cargoes they might come up ; and
that Ante' icait vessels were not mote armed than the
British merchantmen. Tire English nett required
prize peels to be interdicted, but the Chine-e slid,
they never ennitited as to any vessel, whr:e the got
her cargo, or where she brought it irons ? The But
fish threatened to fire on the place, and the Donis fri-
gate passed the Boca Tigris, and fired on the Ameri-
can schooner Spitynx. In consequence of this dispute,

null of Messrs. Crimshaw, at Whitehouse, near Bel.'
Last, greatly to the astonishment of all present, a'
small unwise was turned out. It appeared at the
time to be in a torpid state, but,.on being'svashed,
ieid a short time exposed to the open air, it became
.inimated and lively. It must have been at least six
motiCis excluded from the air, deprived of food and
Hellion, and may have been so for two yews, as it
fiequently happens that cotton wool has been so long
packed before it comes to the manufacturer's bands.
