SIR,
Your letter of the 18th Nov.
enclosing your circular notification
OF the blockade of the port of Til
poll. | have received.
Sensible as you must be, that it
IS the interest as well as the disposi.
ton of the u. States, to maintain
the right of neutral nations, ya;I
will, trust, cautiously avoid what
ever may appear to youto be incom-
patible with those rights. It's how
ever deemed necessary, and am
charged by the President to state to
you, what, in his opinion, charac-
terises blockade. / have there
fore TO inform you, that the trade of
a neutral, in articles not contraband.
cannot be rightfiilly obstructed TO
any port, rot actually blockaded by
A force SO disposed before il, as to
create an evident danger of entering
It. Whenever, therefore, you shall
have thus formed blockade of the
port of Iripoli, you will have a
light to prevent any vessel from en-
.ering 1t, and to capture for aeiiudi-
'ation any vessel that shall attempt
% enter the same, with a knowledge
d the existence of the blockade.
I on will however not take as prize
my vessel attempting to enter the
port of Tripoli, without such know
edge; but in every case of an at
empt to enter, without previous
lnowledge of the existence of tie
blockade, you will give the COM
handing officer ofsuch vessel notice
>fSuch blockade, and forewarn him
rom entering. And il after such a
Notification, such vessel should a.
5aln attempt to enter the same port,
you vii! be justi6ab!e in sending her
nto port for adjudication. You
will, sir, hence perceive, that YOU
ire to consider your circular com
runication 10 the neutral powers,
lot as an evidence that every per-
son attempting to enter has previ-
ous knowledge of the blockade, but
merely as friendly notification 10
hem OF the blockade, in order that
hey might make the necessary ar
for the discontinuance
d ali commerce with such block
lded port.

We do not recollect ofhaving seen, more
wicked and diabolical deed, recorded in the
annals Of history, than the following: On
Thursday last, John Bowman, boy Of about
elevenyear5 old, living with Mr.. James White,
murdered Ann Eliza White, daughter OF
Mr.. White, aged four years; thelad decoy-
ed the child to the bank OF the river, where
he procured himself club, beat her on the
head till her skull was broken, and her face
liberated in most shocking manner; after
killing her, TO conceal the body, he hove it
into the river, and then deliberately went to
the house and eat his dinner. When the
child was missed he denied knowing where
she was. The body was found after being IN
the water about four hours. The Coroner
summoned jury over the body, who gave
a verdict Of qotfil murder IN the said Jain
Bowman. The boy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS coun-
