for the purpose of recording the news OF the
dayn shipping intelligence, &c. The plan is
similar to that adopted In most other COM
mercial towns, and reflects the highest credit
on the enterprizing proprietor, and VIC doubt
not it will meet such encouragement as will
amply remunerate him for his expense and
trouble.
The Legislature OF this State commenced
It's June Session in this town yesterday.
The Hon. Mr.. PLUMMER, the Republican
candidate, is elected Governor of New -Hamp-
shire.
William P Van Ness, Esq. is appointed by
the President and Senate District Judge of
the State of New-York, under the law lately
passed authorizing the appointment of an ad-

Chief Justice Marshall decided few days
ago. in the Supreme Court of North-Carolna,
that the Proclamation of the President Of the
United States of the 9th of August, 500, (af-
ter the disavowal of Erskine's arrangement
intcrdicting commerce with Great Brltaln,
was illegal An appeal was OF course taken
70 the Supreme Court.-ibid.
1t will be seen by reference to the pro-
ceediHgs Of Congress that a message was
Yesterday received from the President Of
confidential nature. Accompanying the mes
sage were sundry documents, embracing
CORE spondence between MIR. Russell and the
British government, much in the spirit OF
all the late correspondence in the same quar-
ter, which we shall present to our readers in
our next as they were not deemed to re-
quire secrecy and were by the Senate order
ed to bc printed. OF the import of the mes
sage we cannot pretend to speak with certain
iy and every reader, who reflects OH the
course of measures of the present session,
and the various indications Of the sentiments
of the Executive, is as competent as our
selves to conjecture its contents.

There is subject with respect to the situ
alton of England at this trying crisis OF her at
fairs, which does not seem to be even glanced
at, we mean the manner in which the scarcity
of provisions will affect the navy. The sea
air creates keen appetite, and short allow

We know something OF the supplies OF the
British navy, and venture to predict, that some
serious accounts on this subject, will ere long
make their appearance.

Shut out from any intercourse with the land,
his duty will be stecrcd by the craving OF his
appetite, and il he goes to bed without ais

Mr.. Richard Spooner, one Of the persons depu.ed
from Birmingham to demonstrate az agst the orders
in neil, states, that his interview with minis
tcrs, Mr. Perceval said, be could not from any con.
sderaon Of partial Distress consent to rescind the

Here is precious confession from Mr..
Rose we shall give him credit for one half
of his remark. /, is as certain that Englsnd
