We yetlerday received feveral (cries of Ameri-
can Newfpapers, which, though not of later date
than the afth of November, yet, coming from
parts of that Continent, from which we had little
or no intelligence by the lateft previous arrivals
from America, bring literal pieces of information,
both new and not untnterefting.
Peace was'proclaimed at New Orleans, the ca•
pital of Louifiana, on the aoth of Odober laft.—
Mat port cedes, in confequence of this event, to
have to the Anglo-Americans, the charader of a
neutral port at which they may land, and for a
time depofit their goods fur meeportation, with-
out being fubjed to the payment of dtitiei : by the
trench at St. Domingo, by the Spaniards in the
trade to the Spanith Main, by the Portuguefe in
attempts to trade to their Colonies in South
America, the Anglo-Americans haVe been lately
plundered, infulted, haraffed to a degree at which
their iteeneft indignation k awakened, and they are
taught to prefer the traffic with Britain and the
Britith Colonies to that of all the world betide.
A letter from Cheliccttte, in the North Weftern
Territory, dated on the 4th of November, com-
municated at New York, that the inhabitants of
that territory, had, in a convention, juft refolved
to join the union as its t 7th State.
On the 22d of November the Antericin 8 per
cents. were at t tz/ ; the 6 per cents. too ; the
Navy 6 percents. tot ; the 'United Bank Stock,
I sit. Bills on London, at 6o days, were, at New
York,, at from i to 2 per cent. above par.
A letter from New York, dated November 22,
fais.—We arc informed by Captain SINCLAIII, of
the (hip Superior. arrived yencyday, that the port
of New Orleans was shut againft the entry of Ante-.
rican velfels on Saturday the 16th of Odober laft.
The Spaniards hive not yet flied a place of depo-
fit for American produce, agreeable to the treaty
between the United States and his Catholic lila-
jelly, and which the ihutting us out of that port
may be deemed an infringement of. This is cer-
tainly a fubjeft which requires the immediate at-
tention of our Government. .

The Spaniards alledge, that by treaty, the per-
miffion to depofit goods in that city, of courket-
pired on the conclution ofkhe whir. The Governor
and Intendant were at variance oh the firths pro.
ceedings.
The Spaniards, at New Orleans, had heard of
the appointmint of a Commander, and of an trm-
ed force dellined for that place, but great uncer-
tainty prevailed oa the time of their coming.

Twining's, intended to lead into 'Lincoln's Inn-
fields, is formed, and the kith *ones of the foot
1 Ptiths are ins part laid 1 theloafes on each fide,
for tome dillance, are ereaed as far as the firft
ftorey, and Come of theta 'higher. The founda-
dens of the magnificent and maffive Root'

ceeded to the fecond ftorey. Round St. Clement's '
Church, the wall for the iron railing, to enclofe
an eliptical area for the New Church Yard, is
fet out, and, more than half of it is already =-
tied up, and ready for the (tone coping ; it was
necefrary that the foundation of this wall fhonld
be as much 'as fit feet below the furfacc, to enable
the fiture interment of comfits elute to it< on the'
infide, without nadermining lic letting it down,
and in crofling the old church "yard at the weft
end, it was not poffible to 'maid dillurbing and

dation at which the men were at work has been
contiantly boarded in by -high. and dole boards,
which were moved on as they proceeded, and the
report was untrue that any interruption had been
given to this necefary, though certainly not agree-
able work. In a very few days the whole founda-
tion will be completed. On the fouth fide of the
Church the rails will be dole to the-church in one
part. The new church yard, appropriated for
bailing'. will be near asiatre.sis the aid one.-
