The ship Concordia, Johnson, which arrived
Mt this port last evening, sailed from st Peters
burg on the 18th of July, and on the 2lst day of
the same month, within sight Of Copenhagen,
was taken by 2Danish privateers and carried m
70 Copenhagen Roads for adjudication. After
two days detention, she was however released on
paving about $50 dolls. captors or court char
PES At the time Of the Concordia's sailing from
Copenhagen, it was currently reported, and eve
~ days experience confirms the truth OF the re-
port, that the Danish privateers had orders To
send in every vessel sailing under American CO.
lours. This order, it was said, was given in
consequence Of several American vessels having
passed the guns of the British men of war, sta
toned on the Kohl, and other places, without
being boarded by them, which the Danes con-
strucd into convincing proof of these vessels
being British property, and known 20 their men
ofwar as such. Onthe LIST of August, IN sight
of Wingo, the Coucordia was detained by the
British sloop of war Ployer, Capt Campbell.
The value Of the Concordia's cargo, and the ia
vourable prospects Of war between the United
States and Great Britain, were, rs capt. {. ac-
knowlcdged, his reasons for OBTAINING her and
sending her into WingO Sound During her de-
tcntion at that place, the packets from England
bringing no favourable prospects of tie OK
pccted war, capt. G. consented TO the Concor-
dia's proceeding on her voyage. On the Coast
Of Norway The COncOrdia was chased by French
J.hggcr for more than hours, and escaped BY
superior sailing
The same evening tho Concordia fen in with
. convoy Of about 30 san of merchantmen, IN
der cscort Of two British gun briggs. The Com
modore, Simmonds, in the brig Manly, boarded
the Concordia, and affected great surprise at
her daring TO sail without convoy or licence, the
want of which he Thought sufficient grounds for
OBTAINING her and sending her INTO Sheemcss,
where, after a fortmghts detention, she was
cleared, on paving captors costs.

DEGREES AM ORDERS.

The London Statesman, of Sept. 18th, says,
I'VE, few days since, challenged the editors
OF any paper who denied the repeal of the
Berlin & Milan DEGREES, to produce a single
instance of the detention of an American YES
sci, which had arrived in France since the ID
of Nov. No instance can be produced, and
they are silent. But if they arc repealed, say
some of the papers, " it is done merely to en-
broil the u. 5. with us; besides let Bonaparte
restore to the Americans property whichwa
seized before the repeal" AS TO the motive
OF Bonaparte for doing just action, we have
neither the ability nor the right to enquire in
70 moreover, we ought to have so much
magnanimity as not to permit the man we
style the robber and pillager of Europe, to ex-
coed us in acts of justice to neutral nations.
With respect to the American property sei-
ed before the repeal of these DEGREES, when
we Have restored the hundreds of vessels
captured under the orders in council, we
may with some propriety ask the question,
and not till then" That qvW The British

Mr.. PEScUD,

-D7R. PEScUD,
OBSERVED in your very use
Jul paper mention made by friend to agri-
culture, that he believed that the Hessian flies
lodged their eggs while wheat is in blossom
There can be no doubt as to this opinion, and
that their eggs are sown with the wheat and
grow up with it, which has been the means of
this terrible enemy being introduced from other
countries to America, and from the northern
states TO the southern states-and there is no
doubt bGtltbat what makes them prosper less
with US y, that the heat ofthe bulks of wheat
more south destroys the eggs fixed in the grain.
But the most effectual mode of destroying them,
has yet escaped the vigilance of the very worthy
gentieman.-If he will soak his wheat in strong
AMBER, made of strong tobacco, which is made
like tea by boiling water, & let it stand till it is
perfectly cold, viii venture, that in one hour,
without any injury TO the wheat, all eggs, ami
malcula, or any thing else are destroyed, except
the wheat-that it is benefited, tobacco being the
strongest manure-and farther, no bugs, worms,
and hardly the birds of the air win eat it, after
having been we'll soaked in tobacco tea or am
beer.
If you will give this place in your next, no
doubt you will hereafter meet the thanks of our
respectable farmers of the sister states to the
north, and oblige
