EXTRACT OF A LETTE:t.

pORTLANf, API.IL t i.—Both in a political and
commercial point of view, this country is in a most
distracted state. No less than 18 failures took pl.ice
in Salem, and nit) of our Banks, one of them the
Berkshire, have stopped payment, and the Notes cf
many others are at a discount of 7 to 30 per cent.

" The election of a Governor for the Province of
Massichusers, came on a-few days since, but the re-
sult will not be known for a few weeks. The general
belief is that GERRY, the democlatic candidate, will
succeed. This expectation is to be attribLited to the
rejection of Mr. Eastaxg's Treaty, which has created
England incaLulable enemies throughout all the
States."

" Departed this life, at Washington, on. Tuesday
night last, in much agony, the noted mongrel Monster
called NoN-Lvr.sxcNlA.l.s, aged about two years. This
favourite brat being an object of peculiar fare and
solicitude, on account of the distinguished personaf.,,e
who is supposed to have given it birth, has been con-
stantly attended by a numerous b.:dy of the Faculty,
the majority of whom turned out to be nothing more
than quacks, who, by dint of purging and depleting,
a la Sangrado, and clopping off one member after
another, had left nothing alive hut a little of the
Dorlitart, which its 'friend:: could not be persuaded
to bury under ground ; but which, from its off,msive
nature, cannot but excite disgust in every cite who is
so unfortunate as to come within the sphe: e of its pes-
tilential atmosphere."

'• NEW YORK, MAY A.

44 On Saturday, the Senate passed MncoN's Bill,
No. 2, with sundry amendments. This Bill repeats
the non-intercourse laws, authorises the President to
employ the public armed vessels in protecting the
commerce of the United States, and gives him the
power also to revive the non. intercourse Act as to
Great Britain or France in a certain event. The 50
per cent. additional duties were struck oat of the Bill."

al Congress have adjourned, and, by the last law
enActed by them, our foreign commercial relations are
placed on the following footing:—the Non-intercourse
is repealed—British and French ships cf war are pro-
hibited our part•—British Merchantmen (not letters
of marc;tie) are admitted to trade here--a power is
vested in the President to renew the Non-intercourse
against the belligerent who shall refuse to rescind their
orders, after the other belligerent shall have rescinded
their decrees.

Thus ►ce may calculate on a free bade with you
until the next meeting of Congress, unless lloNa PA RTE
should revoke his decrees, and Great Iltitain should
thereafter refuse to do the same before that event.

‘, Congress will not meet again until November
next."
