TO THE PATRONS OF THE GA
ZETIE.

ZEIIE.
The Editors of the Gazette hare it in
contemplation to issue their paper, after
the first day of October next on Tuesday,
Thursday aud Saturday, 10 each week,
instead of Daily. The pressure of the
times, would have justified this change
long since; but their desire to give sa-
tistaction to their patrons, by affording
them the earliest intelligence of passing
events, has induced them to sacrifice, in
great measure, their own convenience
nd interests, BY postpoDing it to the
present time. To those who are at all
acquainted with the subject, it is well
known; that the principal support of a
newspaper, is derived from advertise.
ments. This source of income has cen
completely dried up by the stagnation Of
business, To meet the great expenses
of a Daily Paper, without the aid of con-
siderable ad, ertising custom /; requires
q much more extensive patronage than
the Gazette, or perhaps any ether paper
in this country, enjoys. Ap'oper consi-
deratlon OF these circumstances, the E.
ditors have no doubt, will reconcile their
friends TO the temporary change which
they propose in the publication of their
paper. So soon as favorable change
shall occur in the foreign relations of the
u States, the Daily Paper will be re-
sumsd In the mean time those OF the
patrons Of the Gazette who are near
nough, shall be furnished with extra
sheets con tanning ell important intelli
geace which N ay be received in the in.
terval of its regular day, of publication
In consideration of the proposed change
in The tunes Of issuing the Gazette, the
price of subscription to Town Subsc ri
bers will be reduced to 8 5 tillthe Daily
Pepper is resumed. AS Country Sub
scribers will suffer no Inconvenience
hon the new arrangement, their sub
scliption will remain the same.

the President received such letter, bu,

if a man spits in my face and suffer it
to remain there, It's an insult and ought
to be resented-bul if l wipe it off, thcls
is no offence. Jackson's case, VIC ale
told, is very different from Turreau's.

SALT TAx-Having given our
readers, a little breathing time. We
now recommence the publication Of
the tax laws ; and have selected for
this day tue act laying duty on I'M
ported salt. Our present rulers, if
we believe their own story. are
much wiser and much better. men
than their predecessors. and We re
gret that they could not find some
other object more unexceptionable
on which to lay a tax. A duty on
salt, actually operates as a poll tax;
with this difference only, that the
poor man pays mere than the rich.
as he generally consumes more salt
provisions. This tax may we'll be
called direct tax, for it is one
which none can avoid. If a man does
not wish to pay the ~hiskey tax, he
may drink cyder or beer If gro
GER does not think it proper TO pay
for license. he may 60 into some
other business and il gentleman
does not feel able to pay the carriage
tax, he may ride on horseback or
walk on foot ; in these ways those
taxes may be avoided. But from the
salt tax there is no escape /: Every
man who has any meat or fish to
keep must pay it. This tax, though
at all times unequal, would not III
time Of peace be SO oppressive rs
the article Of salt is generally. ip
such times, very low but in times o.
war, when the article is raised four
OF fivehundred per cent, it will BE-
severely felt by the poor people, and
especially the poor people in the

When the steam boat, which arrived

was in great confusion. They had re.
ceiyed Information that the British had
landed in some farce at Little Chazy
from four sloops and eight row gsllies
that the militia had been called ont and
were mastering; that the people were
removing in all haste, and great fears
we're entertained for the safety Of large
quantity Of clothing and provisions tor
the army, which were deposited at
Pjattsburgh.
Commodore Macdonaugh has sail.

we have every confidence in him;
and you may expect to hear great
news from this quarter by the next
mails.
+" Postscript-The PIattsburg mail
has this moment arrived. 1t con-
firms the account of the British hav-
ing landed in Chazy; and they last
night captured the suart boat with s
men, and 80 batteaux which were
lying at Chazy. The fleets are in
the vicinity of each other.
