not recollect the amount at which they reckoned them,
we are confident the actual produce fills far short of
their anticipation. After all, however, the Excise no
Wine is above 24,0001, less than in the corresponding
quarter of last year, and the increase on British sad
Foreign Spirits (the ss hole duties on which amount to
more than half a million,) is little more than 7,(nno.
The ground, however, on which we twined
opinion which our correspondent contests, remain
unaffected by these considerations; for the principal
increase is found to take place in the articks of beer
and malt, which must be admitted as strong Frump,

No Paris journals had reached us to-day when sat
paper went to press. The private letters received
yesterday give deplorable accounts of the ra►ages
of the Yellow Fever in Spain. It is rather re-
markable that the French accounts of the Fever should
be so much more favourable than those which come
from Spain itself. It is true that they have gene-
rally been of a later date than those brought at the
same time by the Spanish papers; but it is also
equally true that when subsequent Journals came up
to their date, they dill not confirm their ststeurents.—
it is impossible, therefore, though we most sincerely
hope it is not the case, that the French Government,
anxious of preventing alarm amongst its subjects, may
have directed the Censors of the Press not to Wimpy
account to appear, but what was of a satisfactory sad
tranquillising nature.

EXTRACTS CONTINVED FROM TUE NORFOLK PAMMS

Intelligence from Arlcansas to the lath September.
A boat has arrived at that place from the Union Nis.
sionary station. The passengers state that a war party
of Cherellees have made an incursion into the o.4cre
country, and murdered a Frenchman named Joseph
Revoir, at a small settlement on Grand River, abort

I 5 miles above the Missionary establishment. It is abs
reported, that several other white persons hays beet
murdered. As soon as Major Bradford received&
information, he despatched from Arkansas an Inter•
preter to ascertain the facts.
Extract of a letter from Pensacola, dated Jell 23:
_ _

—" I n my lad I advised you of the change of flags.—
Pensacola is now an American town, and begins to
look like one; people are coming here every day,
some with a view to settle, and others to look about
them. _

General Jackson has lost no time in commencing
his administration. The day after the change of
flags, some wholesome regulations were promulgated
in the form of ordinances, for the government of the
city. He found the place without police ; the elude
under the Spanish Government, where there is no
cabildo, is every thing ; a kind of Caleb Quotem, and
therefore nothing. No civil police had ever bees or-
ganised here. To avoid the necessity of employing
the military for this purpose, or for the purpose of
civil government at all, the General found it absolutely
necessary to establish something like a corporation,
or cabildo, for the city, composed of a mayor or cot-
regidor, and six aldermen or regidors, together with
a board of health. Mr. Bowie has been appointed
mayor, and three American gentlemen, and three of
the old inhabitants. aldermen; to these the power is
given to appoint inferior officers; and the peace and
health of the city are confided to this body. net

Bronaugh, as resident physician, presides in the beard
