pursuing his right in ille prize court, and the
consigrees Of the goods were held to bsiI to an
swer his claim. The seven ships n question
are precisely in the same situation. The officer

court instead OF the sxchequer. We are told
that the trade with the United States, under

blockade. In addition, it is said, that saiIs and
other articles necessary for the equipment OF
shipping, have been sent from Russia, through
the channel OF Amelia Island, IN return FOR the
produce obtained from thence.
