EatraSs Of a letter from 2 respectable uer-
chant at Hara,usa, received at Nezv York,
dated 1uly19.
An express extraordinary has this mo-
ment arrived here from Spain, bringing the
important news that the emperor Bonaparte
no longer exists; that he was killed by the
Spaniards at Bayonne."
A1ate Vermont paper Says" By a gem
tlaman who passed through ST. Adams, on
Wednesday last, we are informed, that the
militia who were called out to support the
laws Of the union on the shores of Lake
Chalnplaih, were disbaaded, and returning
to thor respective homes."
There passedthrough this village on FRI
day last, twenty five Wagons loaded with
FIVE barrels each, ofpork, and two with pot
ash, and we are informed by one OF the dri-
vers, that there were seventy Wagons en-
gagged in the same traffic, which wiz shortly
pass through this town."

Il nezv market otelea far american pro-
duce.-The late popular and patriotic revo-
luton in Spain, the expulsion of the French
from Cadiz, and the cessation Of hostilities
between Great Britain aa1 Spain, will open
in that country, and her extensive colonies,
an immense market for the produce of these
states. This great vent for Cur surplus pro-
auctions would take off what is now suffer-
ed to rat Oh Oar own hands, thro' the zvisdsm
Of our embargoites. Our wheat, -four,
slaves, beet, pork, &c. &c. would find
quick and profitable sale, aad our shipping
and sailors full employment, now that SPAN
has declared Itself independent, and shaken
Off Frence domination. We need not now
fear the seizure OF our ships and cargocsin
Spanish ports after having been visi,ed by
British crulZers. Besides, it would be mad
ness In Our own government not to aatici-
pate and prevent the blow We should receive
from driving the co.onies OF Spain to the
necessity oi raising wheaJ, corn, &c. &c.
torthsir own consumption, as well as tosup-
ply9tlle BRUSH co4oA-es.
Commercial Adv.
We learn by two gentlemen, passengers
in tie ship ClAloaen, iao,n the Isle of France
who dia no. reach Town until last Saturday,
that a few da;s before they sailed, captain
Mix, of the ship Sally, OF TINS port arrived
at the Isle OF france from Batavia, and IN
formed that general Daendels, member Of
the Grand Legion OF Honor, had arrived at
Batavia in an American brig, after having
encountered many difficulties and hardships,
with full powers from Louis. Bonaparte,
King of Holland, to take possession OF the
Batavian government IN the name OF the
King, which was delivered up 20 HIM with
out any difficulty; and that he Immediately
proceeded to organize the government a.
greeably to the Instructions OF his master,
and had assured the American captains
there, thatevery indulgence would be snewn
to the American commerce.
(E. Pest.
The expulsion of the French from the
Spanish colonies in our neighborhood will
pour upon us an Immense number oi turbu-
lent and dangerous foreigners. According
to the information given to captain MsMeal,
beginning had been made in sending them
from Havanna; and there can be but little
doubt the same measure of precaution will
be strictly followed elsewhere. It's proba-
bic, that New Orleans will be the place
which they will generally prefer though OF
all Others, it is the most hable to be preju-
diced by their presence.
