Time was when the people Of Massa-
chusetts were at liberty 70 send their
fish, their rum, their barley, their wood
en- ware, their hops, and whatever else
they might have to spare, to Philadel-
phia, ard here barter them for flour and
such other articles Of provision as are
wanted for consumption in that state
Under the present despotic system, if
a citizen of Massachusetts wants bar
rel Of flour, he must 60 to the merchant
in whom govenour Sullivan and presi-
dent Jefferson have deigned to place
their confidence, and must pay him not
the fair barter price but whatever the
merchant enjoying executive conf
dence may have the conscience to ask /;
because no other man is permitted to
import a barrel-U. S. Gaz.

II Is REPORTED, (says the New-York
Oracle that, by an arrival at Norfolk,
intelligence had been received that b.
naparte has generously allowed the gov
eminent ofthe United States sixty days
to determine whether they will join
with him in all his views, or declare in
favor Of his enemy. Although this is
only rehort, yet from the tenor Of
Champagney's letters and the late de-
crees, this procedure is not improbable

We learn by gentleman from YER
mont who resides near Lake Cham
plain that the raft preparing to 60 down
the Lake TO Montreal, was near half a
mile long, had regular fort built upon
1t ball proof, and is manned with be-
tween and 600 men armed. The
raft is represented to contain Az the
ufpfuS FfOcruvU VI rtrrtU STATE raised tire
year past, such as wheat, potash, pork,
beef, &c. and said 10 be worth raising of
three hundred thousand dollars. Gov.
Smith of Vermont has ordered out the
militia 70 arrest its progress. 1t is to
be feared that Mr.. Jefferson's cruel and
arbitrary policy Of forbidding inter
course with our neighbours will cost
the lives Of some of Orr most valuable
citizens. ~. Y Herald.
