with France, and consequent non.im-

ed IN his country eight months ago.
The letter OF M. de Champagny an
nouncing this event, arrived and was
published 10 the month of September.
20 the Cd November following, the
Presidents Proclamation was issued,
oh lally staring that the non-importa.
ton would take effect on the I'd Feb.
rusry. Capt. L. mus. therefore have
had long and sufficient notice shat the
act would Ego Into operation on that
day. Notwithstanding this, ne enter
ed the hsrbor on the 2Oth of April,
with cargo of molasses from Mar
Unique, "a British island.y The YES
sci and cargo were accordingly seized
under the non-imPortation law, capt.
+. not being able among all his fed
eral friends, (although he offered a
premium) to obtain sufficient bonds
men 1t being necessary to take out
the cargo to ascertain the quantity. it
was accordingly done but while il
lay on the wharf, capt. r. to save it
from "leaking, fomenting and vast
ing,"# ordered some truckmen to take
it away when he was arrested by the
marshal but not before number OF
hogsheads had been carried of. Be-
ing again unable to obtain bondsmep,
he was committed to prison, where he
remained few days bot upon giving
sufficient security, was liberated. The
fact is, If men will wantonlY violate

they have foolishly incurred. The

FIRE i-One Of the most tremend-
Gus and destructive fires ever known
in IN S city broke out about ten o'clock
yesterday morning IN Chatham street,
near Dnane-street, and spread with
sach iDconceiyable fury, that in little
more than two hears Notwithstanding
the extraordinary vigilance of our fire
men and citizens) consumed nearly
one hundred dwelling-houses and ia.
volved at asst one hundred and fifty
poor families in state little short of
absolute ruin The fakes of fire
which fell IN every direction upon the
roofs of the houses, even at very con-
siderable distance from the awful scene,
gave rise to an alarming apprehension
that the greater part of tie city would
be destroyed. The steeple of the
Presbyterian Brick Church at the head
Of Beekman street caught fire, and
would probably have been consumed,
but for the intrepidity of a gallant sal
Tor. who climbed up the lightning rod,
and, with a bucket of water, kept the
fame under until an engine could be
placed so as TO play upon it with effect.
We expect TO be able to give in our
next paper particular statement OF
the injury sustained by this great ca
lamity.
