a thousand idle rumors have been IN clreu-

absence OF Captain Decatur, who is at Phla-
deiphia, one Of the officers OF the Chesapeake
boarded the Packet, and asked tor her clear
anee. AS Packets never have clcarances,
Captain Hamilton of course, could not graz
tify him. He then wanted to see Capt. HIS.
creslc. .ia!s, whIcl. were refused, as 1t was an
unprecedented demand. The Packet Was an
chorcd along side the Chesapeake, and the
Captaia returned to town to receive the advice
of the British Consul. We understand the
Pacct has received permission to proceed,

FOOD FOR DEMOCRATS.

A story no doubt originating among some
OF our Embargoites, has been circulated thro'
our papers that the Inhabitants OF ot. Tho
mass we're generally leaving the island on
account OF the want Of provislons. This story
gave great delight to many of our advocates
for the relief Of oppressed humanity : it
being, according to their creed, the height OF
bencfccncc, to starve the English and to feast
the Frcnch--Unluckily, however, this cajoy-
men., he's beea but Of short duration. We
have made the following extract from a letter
received by respectable mercantile house in
this city. Ii is dated St l ho1nas's, Septem-
Der 9TH, lSoS.--.Aew York Com I'D.
SC Provisions ofevery description are here
plenty and very dull sale There have arrived
here within four days, four American vessels
with provisions and lumber also ship from
8! .nndon with 500 barrels of flour and 500 bar
rels beef and perk--so you see we donts care
much about the embargo.
