port that Guadaloupe had been opened to
American vessels is founded on some mis-
take. We have arrivals from that island
and the vicinity of a recent date, that heard
nothing oft 4; and the address of some A
rhericans to the principal Officer at the Is
land for leave to export produce was yes

was refused.
Capt. ALDEN, who arrived here a few
days since from Guadalupe informs, that
an Order had been issued to permit the
importation in British vessels from other
islands Of lumber, -four, fish, &c
Capt. DAVIS from Martinique informs,
that in consequence of the arrival of some
vessels from France which wanted cargocs,
a petition had been presented to the Co
vernon desiring that the expectation of SUI

vessels should be prohibited and it was
expected it would be granted.
