Extract Of letter from Hava,aaa, to The

SIR,
Since our last commercial advices, go-
vernment have prohibited foreign vessels 70
load IN future at the ousports, excepting
those which were cleared through the Gus
toms previous to the issuing of this decree.
We, however, look upon the arrangement
as temporary, and presume the decree Will
soon be revoken, and the same liberty gran
ted as before.
"Vessc!s are not now permitted to enter
any part of their cargoes for expectation
without paying the inward duties-that is,
no vessel is allowed to break bulk without
becoming responsible for the payment of
(! the whole amount of duties on all her car.
go, though it should be partially exported.
It's said that the necessities government
have caused this arraugemsns,"
A late LondoB paper contains the follow.
ing article : g Plymouth, Aug. 81 = For
the capture of the French frigae Didon,
of "A guns, by the Phoenix of IS, we are
In some degree indebted TO an American
ship. The Phoenix cruizing OFF Cape
Finisterre, spoke the American, and both
stood on their courses: Soon after the A
merican fell IN with La Didoa, when the
Phoenix was nearly hull down, and inform
ed the Frenchman that he had Just pared
with an English corvette of 90 guns and
that she was then Ia sight: La Didon spread
all her canvas, and the Phoenix standing
on under easy sail, was soon along side.
She soon found her mistake; and after a
gallant action of nearly three hours, La
Didon struck her colors."
1t this article is true, the American cap
tain, in our opinion deserves severe repre-.
houston; for he was guilty of a falshood.
Neutral masters are not compelled to give
! any information to belligeren: crulzers and
when they volunteer heir inform .tion, it
ought TO be the truth, and nothing but the
truth They ought to consider it beneath
the character of an independent American
10 give any belligerent advantage over his
enemy; for TO him all nations at peace with
his country are friends; much more to in
vent, or give circulation to a fasehood.--
While the United States remain neutral
nation, i. is bounded duty of their citi-
gems TO malntain the character OF neutrali.
