Ectracf Of a letter to the Editor off tie En-
q4irer, dared Washington, FEB. 90.
"The National Intelligencer of this morn
ing contains most imperfect report of the
debates OF yesterday. Those republicans,
who voted against the salt tax, are as decid-
edly in favor of the full amount of the taxes
required, as any men in Congress.-They on
ly considered salt an improper subject of
taxation, and were willing, as mas eTIre8aiy
stated, to raise the amount calculated to raise
from SALT by an addition to the direct tax,
by whiskey tax, or in any other more equal
and eligible way.
"The insinuation therefore that republi-
can members, who were opposed to the salt
tax, are opposed to providing revenue to sus-
tain the credit of tue nation in the approach
ing contest, is disingenuous and unfounded.-
With a view, however, to Cancellation, the
salt tax, doubtless, will be restored on Mon
day"
In haste-Yours with great respect.
o. please insert the above as e5ipIana-
tory of the article in the Intelligeucer. -
There is think not doubt but the tax on
salt will be reinstated amongst the other tax
es, and that the whole will be adopted as a
system of compromise-1hIs early susgeSti-
on may therefore prevent some speculation

We have correcS information that large
purchases of -four, &c. have been made in
the Course of the winter by British agents in
different ports; and in all probability, N a
few days after the navigation is clear, thous-
ands of barrels of flour will be shipped to
England, as well as Indian meal, oats, corn,
&c. sufficient to supply them for considc-
rable time, and of course raise the price of
bread here. Wheat is now two dollars per
bushel, in consequence of this speculation.
We found no difficulty in subduing the Bril-
fish army at Saratoga when their provisions
failed them. An embargo until April, or until
our government have an answer by the Hor-
net, would distress the British more than fif-
ty thousand men encamped on the confines
of CShada.
