UNITED STATES.
We have received American Papers to the 26th
tat., from which we make a short selection.
• A Ne.,v York Paper of the 24th June states, that
treat Britain " now considers her West India Colo-
nies to be a d.sgrace to her," and adds : " It would be
. more generous to sell them to America, than to de-
stroy theirs. Nor can there be a doubt that the United,
States would undertake to pay off many millions of
the National Debt for such a Transfer !"—What a
flourish ! The United States " wridertaie to pay off
many millions of the
,National debt" of Great Bri-
tain! ! Dare any one doubt the ability of venders
of stones in the middle_of bags of cotton to pay mil-
lions, or their go:►d faith in executing any undertak-
isg ?—But what is the evidence that Britain disre-
gards her Wet India Colonies ? Forsooth she is
talking of having the Slaves registered, to prevent
new importations!

NASSAU, MAY
By a vessel from St. Domingo we learn, that.
Christophe is particularly suspicious of all strangers
arriving there, whose business cannot be satisfactorily
explained, and in some instances has been very harsh
inhis treatment of them. The Master of •an Acne.
rican vessel from New Orleans has been put in irons
and lodged in prison, as we are informed, for having
carried letters for General Lce, an American, who
lately went from hence to the Cape, and who, per.
)taps fortunately, had previously left.the place. Toe
'sew letters that have been brought from Sr. Domingo
to the Post-office here, were all opened there, whe-
ther by authority from the Government, or from in-
dividual curiosity, we cannot ascertain.
