from Scotland, were sold by auction in front of the
Tontine Coffee-house. Whether the price obtained
was such as to warrant further importations of this
species of raerchandize, we are not informed. The
I person who made this shipment to the United States
must,• we presume, have received his impression Of
our country from some of the Ih:curate descriptions
which have appeared in the Edinburgh :Rada', and
Journals of British travellers. He must have con:
eluded, either that the country was barren of trees,
or that the people did not possess sufficient skill to
manufacture such choice goods. ,He had beard his
learned countryman ask, 4, Who reads an American
book?" and thought it would be as pertinent to in.
,quire, Who wheels an American wheelbarrow?

Letters have been received in the United States
from La Guayra, dated the 11th of May, stating, that
the naval force employed against Puerto Castello was
too small for the reduction of that place, in conse-
quence of which Commodore DANIELS was about to
proceed to the United States in quest of supplies._...
Subsequent letters have been received in London, an-
nouncing, that a considerable quantity of arms, clotL
ing, naval stores, and a small naval force, has
arrived. A very singular suit had been instituted
against Mr. TOMPKINS, Vice-President of the United
States, respecting the balance of an account of dis-
bursements during the late war. • The Vice-President
examined the witnesses personally.
Advices have been received from the city of Santo
Domingo, dated May 7, mentioning that everything
was tranquil there; but the Spanish inhabitants were
emig. ating to the Main and Puerto Rico, being un-
able to brook the dominion of a Black Gooernmeat,
and the irregularities of its Commanders and troops.
The duties on imports and exports had been aug-
mented to 50 per cent. and the cutting of mahogany
prohibited.

A regular file of Papers from New South Wale; has
been received, from which the following are extracts:
