curacy any price for flour, as we have none in

doubt that sweet flour would be worth 63s to

&c The demand for Tobacco, suitable for the
home consumption, has been regular and tole-
rably extensive, but it is only within the three

Extract Of a letter frons J. 3. Gardiner, at
Matches, 10 Afrs. Gardner, in Marietta,
dated October Il.
g The last accounts from the Spanish from
tiers present most horrible picture OF the
present state of South America. The scenes
of the French revolution are acted there with
additional enormities. Ali is confusion, anar-
chy and bloodshed. The royaiists still keep
the balance of power but they do it by treach-
cry, cruelty, and the influence OF money.
The republicans, like the patriots OF the
mother country, brave every danger and eve
ry calamity, determined to release themselves
from the shackles OF a most Calling despotism,
and they will succeed, IS certain as Heaven IS
Just. The province of Texas, which had hi
therto enjoyed tranquility during the convul-
sions of the adjacent country, is at length i'm
merged in civil war. A respectable gentle
man arrived here on Saturday from Nachito-
ches, which he left on the first instant.
He informed me that when he left that
post, the town was filed with Spanish repub-
! licans, who had assembled there 10 prepare to
attack Nacodoches, but are entirely destitute
Aof ammunition. Many weye daily fiocking to
1.-THE eastern side of the SaJine for the same
2purpose, s were not only seconded, but were
ajoined by several Americans, who were to III
&yadc Texas Ia a short time.
A party OF republicans who were making
their escape to the American side a few weeks
Aago, were overtaken by the royahsts, west OF
1.-The Sabine, and robbed of one hundred and
Ssixty thousand dollars. Some were killed,
but the survivors arrived safe at Nschitoches.
Several such skirmislles have taken place on
IOur side the river, and few Americans have
been killed.
The yellow fever still RACES at y. Orleans,
Though not SO violently as during the summer.
Flour very high, $40 here, and 1 at \. Or
