ed a strong desire to see them, and they
have been accordingly transmitted.
s The news Of the revolution has, / am
informed, occasioned much joyful satistac-
ton. At meeting Of the governor and
council on the evening after the reception Of
the dispatches, the late additional duties
on imports and exports Qaid to sup
port the new dignities OF the late Prince
Of Peace were taken of-reducing them 4
on the former, and three and a half on the
latter from what they formerly were: and
they have even gone so far as to order the
duties on the vessel to Norfolk (brig Eliza,

restored. This is a fact on which you .lay
rely, as have it from the American agent
at whose house I stay, and who has Just
signed her papers, This is a good rEG1N-
MING, whatever may be the fusther result.

stoned no CONNECTION here, though I am
told the people at large have been very open,
and, in convivial parties, voc1rERousLY
joyful in their expressions of satisfaction.

to colonial and other regulations, from the
ministers who have succeeded to the new

By the Usage letters have been received
in this city to the middleof May.
Mr.. Lewis, with the dispatches brought
by the Usage, has passed thro' this city for
Washington. We understand that the Sc
cretary of the navy returned to Washington
with him. Letters from the most respecta-
bic sources in London confirm the printed
accounts Of the entire rejection Of the pro-
positions carried out to France by the o.
sage; and they give the strongest reason
] for believing that Great Britain also adheres
to her retaliating orders.
Under these circumstances the withdraw
;ng of the EMBARGO is not within the legal
power Of the president; however much he
might be inclined to remove it on account
of its experienced inefhcacy and the ex-
IRENE lnpopularity that has attended ii. 49,
Whether he will call congress immedi-
ately, remains to be seen. From the Ian
guage Of the government paper at Wash
ington; the accustomed obstinacy OF the ex-
secutive in its visionary schemes; and the posi-
ton in which any honorabls change would
place it with respect to France lit must be
concluded that they vii! adhere to their state
nostrum, the embargo. We may therefore
make up our minds to bear with it some
months longer. Produce mustfall still low
err; other STEP la1us must pass, to prevent
legal proceedings the poor must be ground
a little more !; aud at length when the public
feeling is sufficiently stung, we may be freed
from the present administration and the em-
barge together.

The following letter, taken in connection
with the whispers in yesterdays Gazette,
afford pretty good grounds to hope that an
arnicable adjustment Of our differences with
England viii soon take place. With France
we can do nothing. Bonaparte will have
his way in spite of the Devil. #, then,
harmony can be restored between us and
England on honorable terms, and we trust
It can, where is the man so unreas enable as
10 object to it. Every real American Will
rejoice at the event.
Estract Of a letter from enc Of the .trst

remarks, the following:

ssCn the evening of the 9th the governor
received by felucca from Spain which
touched on the eastern coast, and proceeded
immediately to Ia Vera Cruz, official dis
patches announcing the revolution in Spain.

Every one must acknowledge the advan-
tage which America has over England in
manufacturing cotton goods, when it is COLI
sldered, that9 10 of the goods of this de scrin-
ton brought from Eng gland, particularly from
Manchester, are carded and spun by the force
OF steam engines, which, agreeable to Evans's
treatise on steam-engines cost about s 10 600
IN the erection, and each require 60 bushels
OF coal per day to keep them in motion.
In Manchester the cotton is all assorted,
the finest and strongest staple is used for ma
king fine muslins, and the more Indifferent
kinds are used for making coarser goods, such
as velvets. corduroys, james, cotton casimeres
&c. 1t is observable since the manufacturing
OF muslins in England has. been introduced,
that the goods of the above kinds have been
OF an inferior quality to what they former
ny were, which objection they might not
be subject to in this country so long as mus
Inns were not manufactured
1t should also bo recollected, that much of
this work is performed by children, whose
iabour is only worth the expence of subsist-
ence, which is cheaper in this country than
in any other in the Universe
