SrR-I herewith transmit a printed CO.
py of an act +" to in,rrdict the CONNER
c'at intercourse between the United States
and Great Britain and France, and thsir
dependencies, and for other purposes:"
The provisions of the LIST and I'd Sec
ons extend to public ships and vessels of
Rance, the regulations already in force
in relation to public vessels of Great
Britain.
The i2th, 18Th, 18th, 18th and 18th
sections take effect after the 18th day Of
this month after which day, vessels own
ed by citizens of the United States may
be cleared for any port or place, other
than those excepted by the l2th section,
ne of the vessel and cargo, and in other
respects complying with the requisites Of
the I'd SEQ. of,he act of January last. 1t
follows, that the provisions in the last men
toned sec. requiring bond inlsix times the
value of the vessel and cargo is repealed
from aud after the 18th of this month.
The law remains in full force in rels.
ton TO vessels owned by foreigners and,
in addition thereto, bond in four times
the value of the vessel and cargo must
be required from such vessels, whether
they sail in ballast or with the cargoes
which they had brought in, that they
shall not proceed to forbidden ports, SC
in the form prescribed by the 18th sec
ton. Not even English vessels can, at.
ter that day, be cleared for the domin-
ions of England. or French vessels 70,
the dominons of France. Packets and
other vessels, excepted under the LIST sec
ton OF the act, may however be permit
ted to proceed. No foreign vessels what.
ever, and wherever bound, can take any
cargo on board. "
The coas,ing trade is, blythe l4h sec.
tion released from every impeachment laiS
by the embargo laws, such provisions ex-
cepted as are contained in the 18th sec.
ton. All Instructions, therefore, on that
subject are revoked, and particularly those
respecting re.shipments. Dc,entions are
still however authorised in cases where
there is sufficient cause 10 apprehend that
~ evasion of the law is in ended. And he
provisions applicable to districts adjacent
TO foreign territories remain in force.
But you are authorised TO grant permits
sion TO proceed 10 New Orleans, unless
you have reason 10 believe that there is AN
intention to evade or violate the laws, in
which case you will refer the application
10 this department..
Every country noninally enjoying an in
dependent form of government, (other
than Great Britain or France) and not il
the actual possession of either Great Bril-
tain OF France, is open by the law, and
particularly Holland, Spain, and Portugal
and their colonies but you will suspend

tigated granting clearances for airy par,

TO M IL l. E K s..

I HAVE invented machine called
Wheat Rubber, for which Obtained patent
on the first day of this month. This machine
may be seen in operation in the mill of Ma
thaniel Ellicott, Occoquan Those millers
who feel an interest in investigating its me-
rit and have not an opportunity OF visiting
Occoquan, may be fully informed by appli-
cation to Mr.. Ellicottby letter. My Hheat-
Rubber, do verify believe is upon entire
new principles, the cost of erecting it TIL
fle, the matcrils of which it is cmpofed ca
silly attainabe in any part of our country, and
the plan simple in the extreme any work.,
manof common capacity will be enabled to
erecti1 from description only. Practical mil
lers know, that in great proportion of the
wheat that comes to market from the man.
ner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers
and exposed to the weather) number Of
sprouted and unsound grains mingle with
the mass, and has cluded the ingenuity
Of the miller to separate it from tie sound
grain--they also know those unsound grains
iniure materially the taste and color OF -four
my machine not only frees the wheat of
stone, onion, cookie, dirt, SC. but does abso-
lutely take from it every unsound grain, from
what cause soever it may have been injured,
as my machine will not let any unsound
wheat pass it-millers may have their screen
wire much finer than hitherto used, and
thereby save considerably-it will also be
found that the grain in passing the rubber, is
polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat
Is picked perfectly clean O. dust or dirt.
Some Instances having occurred ofcerli6cates
being obtained, saying much more in favor
OF new invention than the public are willing
to admit after trial. hope it will be suifi--
cient apology for my taking a different course.
My price for the privilege Of using the rub
Der is fifty dollars for each prir of wheat
stones the mill contains.
Letters directed to me post paid shall be-
attended to.

Local facts Notwithstanding all the
foolish, ii not wicked denials of the truth it
is a fact that the yellow fever has been In
troduced into the village of Brooklyn and
has been there some time concealed, pro-
badly since the 4th of July.
It is a fact that so late as Friday two ply
sicians of that place positively denied the
existence Of such disease there, although
one patient at least, at that very moment.
lay dangerously i'll under the care OF these
very physicians and has since died. His
name was Rhodes.
Ii IS ajact that several more have died
before and since, and yet the people conti-
nue. to say there is no such disease there,
for fear it will injure the reputation of the
place.
lis a fact that several vessels from the
Havanna have been permitted by our health
officer to come up from the quarantine
ground within four days after their arrival,
and haul along side the wharf at Brooklyn,
although
It's d fact that the HAVANA is sickly
port, the yellow fever prevailing there in its
most malignant form SO that it proves al
most universally fatal, as abundance of let
tiers inform.
This being the fact I should be glad to
know whether the health officer has per-
mitted these vessels to come up without
having been unloaded, ceansed and purif-
ed, according to law? If SO, then are cur
health laws good for nothing.

the enormous port charges demanded, and
as nothing but -four, lumber and fish will

obliged to apply to such as would advance
them money on their notes to pay those
charges.
H any master of a vessel in the harbor at
tempts to board vessel coming in, he is
fired at: first shot one dollar, two for the
second and increasing in that proportion
The reason for thus firing, is to prevent in
formation to those coming in of the heavy
charges which are made, and the sacrifices
which must be made to obtain as much mo-
ney as will pay them. Captain Raredony
for his schooner of SO tons, would have had
to pay so dollars merely for coming to an
anchor, and in case he had landed none OF
his cargo. Left at St. Barts. the 9Th inst.
