Interesting 20 CounGyy Merchants.
We are informed that large quantities of
foreign merchandise are now on their way
direct from the British provinces to this CT
ty, and their arrival daily expected. Sever
al very large invoices of prize goods, it will
be perceived, IRE also advertised for sale by
auction by the Marshal IN the course Of a

terms, than in any other place in the u. States
