to ". c. c. Claiborne, then chairman Of
the Miaiaippi committe, have been lately
publiihed. They furnih the following
information refpeeting that territory.
The number of free inhabitants is fated
at oooo, Of whom about 1000 are fuppof-
ed capable of bearing arms. The num-
Der OF black inhabitants is confidered as
equal to that of the whites.
Cotton is the Raple commodity, of
which an active planter will make from
5 to Soolb. to a hand. 1t brings a quarter
OF a dollar per lb. and the territory pro-
duces not much lefs than three millions of
pounds of mercantile cotton, worth
$4,000 dollars.
OF pork great quantities can be RATED
at a tmal cxpence but as the price, for
ieveral years had not been more than I l
dollars, little had been raifad.
The foil and climate are we'll adapted
to the growth of indigo, and the iugar-
cane thrives well in the lower part of the
territory.
The fats mentioned in the report to the
Parliament of Great Britain on the fcarci-
ty of Corn, if well founded, furnifh the
data on which t. Ultimate the quantity of
corn that mutt be imported to fupply the
inhabitants. The report Gates that the
deficiency amount to oue- fourtb Of an ave-
rage crop. Now the annual confumption
is to be rated at about eight bufhels to a
foul. The French coniume one third
more, but they eat more bread than the
Englih.
If then England contains eight millions
of fouls, they require 64,ooo,ooo of bulh-
els Of Corn for their annual confumption
One fourth Of which is Exteen- millions
the deficiency to be fupplied by com
MERGE.
The report fates the imported wheat
and -four Of the laf year to amount to
I,261,93a qarters or Io,oos,4sobu fhels.
To fupply the demand the current year,
they will require hxteen millions or one
third more than the importations of the
laf year. 1t is faid that grain is fcarce
in Portugal-and it is polible that the
plague on the Barbary coat may have lef-
(ened. sEe harvef, the laff year-but of this
we have no knowledge. At any rate, a cer-
fion of fupplies of wheat from the Baltic,
will prove very ~inconvenient to Great
Britain, Especially at this criiis.
