NORFOLK, Feb. 9.

Norfolk In state OF Siege.-We stat

Of Petersburg had stopped all vessels
bound to Norfolk. laden with whiskey,

ed from good authority that the collsc,

tons to pursue tbs same course, and
has acted accordingly.
In few months we shall feel the e.
fact of this system, in the articles of corr,
meal, SC. which will be augmented
nearly double their present prices, and
what will be still worse, the effects will
be most felt by the poor, vino TO their
other misfortunes, will have the price

cause there is possibility that some of
these articles may fall into the hands OF
he enemy the apprehension is ground,
less, and has bees produced wesuppose

Washington, containing false sugses-

challenge any one to name en- instance
of one capture, or one missing vessel,
from James river to Norfolk, since the
nemy Quilted Hampton roads Then
why this cruel and vexatioas restrictions!
Are our rulers not satisfied with the op.
pressions which they say arc unavoita-
bic. but that they must add others, for
which there can be no occasion? We
appeal to every candid man who is &C
euainted with James River and HamP-
ton Roads for the truth of what we shall
say. If proper precautions are used
there is 20 danger in crossing Hampton
Roads, because it /, very easy matter
to let vessels cemisg down James River,
know by signal, if any oil the enemy's
vessels are near; this, with the precau-
ton of never crossing the Roads in the
night, viii remove all danger OF cap-
