I This place is its great confusion, occasioned by the
alarm amongst the inhabitants of Amelia Island, on
account of the Carthagenians. Ail the females be-
longing to that place have been removed, and are
now here ; also, the valuable property has been re-
moved, and every Spanish vessel has left Amelia
Island harbour. Reports are continualy circulating.
The day before yesterday we heard that live armed
vessels' were eff MS bar; yesterday it was und_Tstood
here that the Calebtated Veneznelian General Sir
Gregor M'Gregor, has been endeavouring to raja/
funds from some mere:l ants at Cha•leron and Sa-
vannah, for the purpos• of en,thiing hire :e col:en a
sufficient force to take East Florida. and that he has
obtained 163,000 d•AlArs, which Allllunt is to be reim-
bursed to th= lenders in 'Flerida lands, at in cents. al
acre. This report, in part, the well informed tss of the
community generally believe. And :o-stay the Cap-
rain of a slop (a man of veracity) who can:e over
the bar last night, tells us, that off rhis bar he c?oke
large schooner •and,:r tic fl tg, hoard
of tvhith appears d to be at ieast 15:) mea, and that
her Captain told him he would give t pilot 3:tnost
any sum to carry her into Amelia. The mliabitaras
in Florida view not these movements with the same
pleasure as it is supposed they would abroad. They
have so good a 'Governor and so systematic a (,;o.
vefnment at present, that they are unwilling to
change it but for that of the United States. Though
therhave nothing particularly to fear from the Offi-
cers and-crews of the vessels that are off at present,
as they are generally white men.
's The Editor of the Note York Cohnatier, a few
days since, copied from this Paper an advertisement,
notifying that the machinery and implements of a
woollen factory in Baltimore would k !Fred for sale

caws and friends of domestic manufactures, that the
machinery and implements were offered as adver-
tised. that for some atticles one-tenth part of the ori-
ginal cost was bid ; fir some one-fourth. and not
more than oie-fialf for any. Such is the e,timation
in which domestic manufactures are held."—B4lll.
