jacuson, who arrived here yefterday in twelve
days from St. Mary's, that juil before he failed, he
was informed by a Suanith gentleman of refpeeta-
bility, dire& from Weft Florida, that the French
had lately landed at that place 35.000 troops !
This news was generally believed at St. Marrs.
Ind filled them with apprehenfions of trouble from
the French. [We attach not the flighteft credit
to this acconnt
"•Captain jacitsnu alfo informs us. that one of
B wles•s•privateers had 'at ly taken a Spanilli brig
bound from Havannah fur St. Angulline, valned
at 4c,..i0u1. fterling ; the fame privateer had alfo
captured a Spans% fchooner laden with flour ;
both of which were fent into a port on the welt
fide of Cuba, the name of which Capt. Jscß $Oll
does not recoiled.

“ We are happy to kern• from every quarter to
which our enquiries have extended. that the crops
this year, p.!rticulAtly of wheat and other (mall
ret. are very extent-ire and uncommonly exu-
berant. A cargo of new wheat, grown in Talbot
county, wee brought over ye(lcrday in the &Afton
.
packet. and readily commanded siit 6d. per
:bathe'; a price by ao.mcans difcouraging to the
lamer.

14 Ts many parts the wheat barveß has corned
out more heavy than in any one year for the laR
twelve ; and although the demand for flour, the
Reple of the middle Rates, is not now fo great as
when the feed was laft fall committed to the earth,
yet the augmentation in quantity, we hope, will
amply compenfate the farmer for the declention in
price. Should wheat even fall to one dollar a
build, our millers will in •that cafe grind for the
European market ; and if double the quantity of
grain be produced, as is the cafe in many difiriEts,
our country will probably reap the fame advan•
tage•from this fource of wealth the prefent, as the
did the latt year."—Bdiimere Poprr.

Not with (landing Mr. Ta ass, s's expofure of the
carel e rd.. of the Briar)] Coachman and Guard,l
on Friday lift, in the night, a Weft of England
mail coach was again left to itfelf, and the hones
ran off with it; there was but one gentleman in
the coach, who, being aneep, was unconfciuus of
his danger, till awoke by the Guard, who galloped
up on horfehack, and Bopped the carriage. The
man immediately fell on his knees to the Gentle-
man, intreating him not to make the circumftance
public ; but the names of the parties will be pub-
linied as loon as the Gentleman's confent is ob-
tained.

Lail Sunday fevers) of the 'Thames Police Offs•
eers, after much exertion, apprehended at Rother
hithe one of the owners of the brig Adventure,
raid to be funk in order to defraud the Underwri•
tern: It was Bated that he was the perfon who
opened Policies of Infiirance at Lloyd's to more
than the worth of herfelf and cargo. He•appeared
to be very colle&ed, and Paid that he could prove
himfelf innocent. The examination was but lhort;
he was, therefore, committed for a re hearing.
YelterJay morning William Cecilia, late Mager
of the brig Adventure, was brought to Town in
eultody of rine of the Bow-fireet officers, from
Harwich, and afterwards underwent a private ex-
amination before the LORD Mayoa at the Man-
lion Houle. At the fame time the tailor, who had
been taken at Deal on Sunday, and 'hue of the
Owners, who had been examined on Friday, were
alto brought up. The examination of this Sailor,
as well as that of two boys belonging to the
brig, was read to Codlin; who denied any know-
ledge of the offence with which he was charged.
He was committed for a further examination ;
and the three perfons belonging to the crew, now
iu cuttody, are detained, in order to give evidence
against him. The peerbn who was part owner
of the vellel, has alio been committed for re.ex.,
amination. Bail to any amount was offered for
his appearance, but refuted.

vices on this oceafion, and Three Hundred Gui-1
neas be diltributed among the 75 men, in order to
encourage fuck meafures as have been taken in this
