Accounts have been received from Fort Marlboro',
containing Tome particulars of the Rate of that island
on the arrival of the enemy's fquadrian from the Mau-

this t.ppt-rtunity to make a decent on one of the moR
flourithing villages on the north-weR coati, which.
having plundered, they fet fire to in various places.
The inhabitants having, howeier, overcortle the Sra
alarm, role m staii on the depredators, and having

from 6s. to Is. per quarter, and even more on the in-
ferior forts. Flour has alfo fallen Ss. a lack.
We are happy to have.it in our power to an-
nounce that the accounts received yeßerciay from all
pays of the country, fpeak of, the beneficial effeas
which the fine weather for fonitt days pail has pro-
doted upon the hirveft. In many parts it has been
got in, and in others, it is getting -in, in as good a
Rate as could be wilhed. We have thought it would
be gratifying to our readers to infert fume of the ac-
counts Scup different counties.

within reach of that market, is now Laved, and chiefly
in good order.
The harveß is now become general, and we are
happy to announce (from the various account' we
have received) that, notwithtlanding the alarming
agricultural reports, the wheat crop is likely to pro-

—The obfeivations on the Rate of the Wneat in.
farted in the lad journal, were perfedtly coital ;
and it may with much fetish/Son be added, that the
fine rains we have had fince thole obfereations were
written, have very much improved the Wheat, fo
that there can now be no fear of a fair:interest crop.

ScortaLan.—Since the beginning of this week
the weather having been very favourable for the

the weather continues, we may expel the harvert to

the late rains, has univerfally commenced, and exhi-
bits the molt luxuriant produce which has bees wit-
