his medium to offer myself candidate as

he Office is to be kept in Washington, - OBJ
,-ious, aid no injury can possibly arise from
his arrangement to the Stockholders in the

ceiving tie conveyance should REPAIR to the
Jerks Office in he City to have the neediul
lone. lrue it is, that il may be done by
power Of attorney but the trouble and eXG
,ence attendant thereon is an Inconvenience,
independent OF the necessity Of an agent to
effect the transfer; whereas the clerk residing
in Alexandra might be the means OF saving
that expence and trouble by keeping transfer
book there.
The livc,y interest have taken in the. pro-
motion of the Bridge, in which ! at present

ofhis maiesty's government to recall them,

our relations with the United States of a.
merica would be restored TO their former
amicable intercourse. If such was the fact,
he congratulated the country, and vas
much more anxious that the revocation of
tic Orders in Counc should proceed from
the voluntary act of the Kings government
than by any motion of his However, il no
such intention should be manifested, by the
conclusion of the present month, he pedy-

This American ship, laden with cargo
of salt, taken on board ut St. Ubes, was IN
the prosecution Of her voyage to Philadel-
phia at the time ofcapturc The conrt was
of opinion that the ship was forfeited under
the order of council, she having sailed after
the knowledge of it must have arrived at
ST. Ubes hut with respect to the cargo,
the master not being proved to be the agent
of the owners thereof the court held that it
was not forfeited by the act of the master,
and therefore restord the cargo.
On the ships sailing from St Ubes, there
was no information whatever cf the orders
OF council, all communication having been
cut off with England. But it was deemed
that he explanatory order which limited the
saii g ct vessels from Portugal, to an ear
'ier period than she left it, was sufficient
grounds of forfeiture. altho' the captain had
no warning W knowledge Of any such orders
constituting a 6kSckodc.
Ii may he further observed, that this ship
carried,a cargo Of cotton and slaves, uatjve
produce, from Philadelphia 20 Cork, from
whence she went in ballast to St. Ubes two
days before her entrance there WAS board
ed by British trigate, who permitted her
20 go in the port, Icing free from any btoc-
kadc rs Il has continued, except under the
general orders OF council in November
when coming from 81. Ubes was sent to Fall
mouth, tried and condemned in London.
