On Friday lA, a very valuable Putt.l3 Weft India
(hip arrived at Liverpool, prize to the WILLIAM pri-
vateer, of that port. Her cargo email: of z 6,000
i dollars, 3,000 bags of coffee, oci ferons of, indigo,
with cotton, tobacco, and hides. She is a new veffel,
and is.confidered the molt valuable prize that has been
brought into that port this war.
By accounts from Liverpool, we learn the lots of
the (hip Viaory, Captain Moitittsoa, of that port:

TEA Sets.—The fates of tea at the India Houfe,
which have been repeatedly adjourned, *fre renew.
ed, or more properly commenced, yeßerday. The
Chairman communicated to the Gentlemen prefent a
Refolution of the Court of Direetors, by which they
agree to abandon the former Refolution to withdraw
the draft on the (trite. This, as well as the other
cußomary allowances, will be continued as before.—
In fad, every thing is placed on the old footing.
Mr. Twinitio role, and in a few words returned
the thanks of the Buyers to the Court of Diredors for
the liberality of their proceeding.—The files then
commenced, and went on vary brilkly.
It is whifpered that the refolution of the Court in
the latt instance, was decided by a letter from the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rating, that it never
was the intention of Government that the Courtof Di.
redlors fhould take off the (bike or cußomary allow-
ances. Government were afraid that Witte refolution
of the Court of Dire&ors, fo unanimoutly oppofed by
the buyers, had been perfifted in, it might have low-
ered the prices of tea in fuch a manner as materially
to affect the revenue.

rable invention of CATHCART DIMPITIR, Efq. of St.
Andrew's, who has defervedly obtained His MUSS-
?I's Letters Patent for a moo material improvement
in this artful and neceffary article, which, although
extremely ftmple, is univerfally allowed to be per-

of fine double fewing twine, in place of the fingle and
antwifted yarns tiled in tht common way, by which
means it can be weaved (but which is impornble at
the old fyftem), without the intervention of (larch or
other mucilaginous fuditance. This not only Cicero
it From all chance of rot or mildew, but adds to its
ftrength in filch an extraordinary degree, that a No.

nour of the Board at Somerfet Houle, that, after af-
certaining thefe fees by indubitable proof, they have
entered into a confiderable contra& with Mr. DIIIIP-
sraa for his Patent Canvas. Ahlungh we are fully
rzladed that this diftinaina alone will feeure him a

every friend to the Inventor, and every friend to the
country, molt fincerely wither ; yet, believing that no
one imam can furnish the Navy in fufficient time
with the quantity r..luifite. we mull that Mr. Dump-
/Till will have the liberality to allow other Canvas
Mantsfadturers to work upon his invention, In that the
fupply for the proud bulwark of the kingdom may be
'goal to the demand of any emergency.
