From North America also we have the arrival of
the Ariadne in twenty-three days. The following
is an extract of a private letter from Philadelphia :
" We have bad the pleasure of writing you frequently of late,
and are still unable to acquidnt you with any alteration, political
or commercial. Each pa: ty appears to have taken a stand, from
which they will not swerve; but we trust an open rupture will be
averted, by the contined forbearance of one or the other. Our
trade is nearly annihilated; the carrying branch seems to be at as
end. The Non-importation Act subjects us to much inconve-
nience ; but the longer it exists the more shall we learn, and be
enabled to do without you. The increase of our manufactures is
truly astonishing, and the intrcduction of Spanish sheep is of in-
calculable advantage to this country."' •
We have received some Jamaica Gpettes to the
Ist of September. We are sorry to learn that the
enemy's mixers continue greatly to' annoy the trade
of that Island: The Dantzic privateer, among cap-
tures cf less note, has taken the Tovtenham and
