Returning to the scenes of my birth and

al welcome you are so good as 70 give me.
Long absent on duties, which the history Of a
wonderful era made incumbent On those
called to them, the ponIp, the turmoil, the
oustle and splendor of Office, have drawn
ont deeper signs for the tranquil and IRE
sponsible occupations of private life, for the
enjoyment Of sn affcctiouate intercourse with
you. my neighbours and friends. and the en-
dearnents of family love, which nature has
given us all as the sweetner of every hour
For these, Isladly lay down the distressing
ourtien OF power, and seek with my fellow

The Jotlozring Jalsehood isfrom G late Lon
don ftafier Of Feb. 49,
A ship has arrivedfrom Charleston. which
place, in common with every trading town
OF America, feels sensibly the mischiefs a.
rising from the Embargo The commercial
people mere, have been much surprised by
the ARRIVAL, within these two or three DAYS.
OF no fewer than % ships from America
laden with cotton, grain, etc. and giving us
seasonable supply o. many other valuable
com modities. On an enquiry, we find tina,
all these are consigned to the house of Sir
Francis Barring & Co and that they come.
not like their precursors, with the stigma
OF violating the Embargo, but under the
lcence and authority of the republican 60
vernment.
1t is we'll known that the mercantile
house lust alluded to is the agent of the u.
states for the payment of the demands of
claimants In this country on the American
lunds. 1t has become necessary to the Gre
DIT OF the republic, that these demands
should be satisfied, and the difficulty was.
under the circumstances Of the EMBARGO
and Non intercourse acts, to discover the
means by which such payments should be
made here. There is no doubt it will be
found, that Messrs. Earrings have underta
ken to discharge the accruing debt to the
proprietors OF American stock, and that the
conslsnments of the cargoes and others, is
the mode provided for their repayment
" me present number is almost who'll

accounts and entire series of French Bulle-
tins are presented.
