you are collector, YOU are hereby command
ed to cause diligent search to be made on

OF any kind, is carried away from the Island,

tined.

on board of any vessel, You are to order the
same to be instantly landed, for the purpose
OF being disposed of, in this Island. in what

according to the usual calculation of the
length OF voyage. Should any dispute Al Use
as to the quantity of provisions allowed to
De carried away, two respectable merchants
mot interested in this vessel or voyage) will
be appointed to decide. To prevent any
concealment of provisions, or any attempt

rected to cause the master of every newly
arrived vessel to declare upon oath the guam
tity ofprevisions of every description he has

Cd Though the British Orders do not in
tr1dict tine trade TO the ". iaale8, yet there
is large portion of it which will be natlr-
ally cut off by their operation. why should
the u. States import any Of tins colonial
produce, except what vas intended Tor their
own consumption? The u. States cannot IN
der the contemplated state of things, sup
ply the Continent with this produce; and
they do not supply CT. Britain. Not only is
Britain supplied from her own Colonies
but according to Maca!l Medford,* " the
duties, taxes, commission &c. are so high
in English ports that tbey ruin every
American that ser IS West India produce to
them this is daily proved by ships which
are intended tebe loaded with British man
ufactures, first going to Amsterdam and de-
lvei1ng cargo OF sugar and coffee, and
then coming to England for her manufac-
lures to carry back"
1t is reasonable then 70 infer, that little
more of the colonial produce of the West
Indies will be imported into the u States
than what is sufficient for their own consump-
ton and of course that nearly as much will
be deducted from the lists Of our exports to
the West-Indies, as will be struck of from
our present export Of colonial produce
According to the report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, the amount OF sugar. coffee.
&c. exported from hence, may be estimated
at - - = 20,O0O,000
Admitting i-2Cth for our increas-
ed consumption from the great 100000
er cheapness Of these art.
1t leaves the sum of -. 8 10000, 600
to express the reduction OF oar tratic to the
West Indies

that while our trade with the continent will
be di0'inished, our trade with O. Britain
viii remain the same is it not obvious that
the British orders viii produce retrench-
ment even in This branch Of our commerce !
What proportion Of our exports to G. Britain
is re-cchortcd frcm that country, we have
no data to ascertain but it is fact well
known to our dealers in to6ncco, that large
quantity of that article sent to England, is
subsequently shipped TO Hamburger and o.
Their ports of the continent--These ports are
now smut against her. 1t isuot only tobacco
but alarge proportion Of our staple produc-
tons, as flour, pork e rice, which have no

Our exports toe. Britain and dependencies
during the last year, exceeded 81 900, 900
dollars. Let the deduction be estimated at

Brief notice---Tt is now ascertained that
the Republican party IN this state was Sue
cessful at the late election. The Governor
and Lieutenant Governor are Republican,
the Senate, with The exception os . single
federalist, and of two or three guilds, is Re-
publican, and in the Assembly, we have a
republican majority elect of at least fourteen.
Whether this ascendancy can or cannot be
maintained, or whether we are destined to
sink into a minority, depends upon the cleo
ton OF President, which is to take place
next March, and upon the course which
that President, co operating with an enlight-
ened Congress, shall pursue
My opinion IS, and the reasons which have
induced it shall hereafter be assigned iibe-
rally and at large, that if Mr.. Madison, Who
by surprise if not by collision has been no.
minated for the Presidency, be elected the
external commerce the United States will
be anhihiated, and that nothing short of a
miracle can save the Republican party from
ldestruction--J All THEREFORE, OPPOSED
TO HIS ELECTION.
But that there may be no misconception
| of the motive, nor any ground for misreprc-
scnting the object Of this paper, isproper
to declare, that il shall be devoted to the e.
lection of the venerable GEORGE CLiN

United States.
The liberty Of the press, with which we
arc familiar, which we have inherited from
an enlightened nation, and without which
there can be no other liberty, is our boast
and our glory. Gentlemen who coincide
with me in opinion on this great national
question, are at liberty to communicate their
thoughts upon 1T to the public through III,
medium OF my press. But az the integrity
