Mr.. Wiltshire had written him on the i5th
of April that he had received note from
William Porter, one of your crew, written
at Widnoon, aud information from Moor
that three others OF your crew had got to
the same place. Mr.. Wiltshire knows net
how they had got there, or whether they
had or had not changed masters he had
taken measures to convey Information to
Widnoon that lie would ransom these men.
1t is therefore TO be hoped they Will ultl-
mateiy be restored TO their country and
their friends. more particularly as instruc-
tons have gone To Mr.. Simpson from this

to accomplish that object,--As have snip

DEAR SIR,
This day month. I had the sat-
isfaction of writing to you in duplicate, by
way of Gibraltar and Cadiz. Yesterday. /
received a letter from Mr.. Wiltshire, da-
ted Mogadore, 18th of this month, inform
ing me he had received second note from
Porter, but without any further intelligence
OF his former companions, save the unhap
py circumstance that two of them have
paid the debt of nature; he does not men
ton "hen, where, or even their names.
Mr.. Wiltshire has received a conGrma-
ton OF there being four of the crew of the
Commerce, in the district of Widnoon, in
Guiding Porter, as lie states, are in fact, all
that remain.
1t does not appear whether it was your
delvcler who hco't them up to W,dnoon,
but should suppose it is, and that he DOES
not nihl his promise to you. as Mr. Win

THE SEASON.


On Wednesday, We are told, there w,o
ain abundant fall Of rain in the North-wes.
tern part of this State. n. Hampshire
Vermont and Maine. Al tie small grains
in those parts, promise a heavy harvess
particularly the rye AMI barley. On Sa,
turday evening. the earth was again re-
reshed by plentiful showers Of rain.
In this vicinity, large quantities Of han
have been already Cut, and appearances of
further good crops are promising. In ma
ny parts 9th country fears are entertaiu-
ed of scarcity bat should the earth be
frequently wet with showers, the latter
moving may yield abundance.
Indian corn is very backward through
outthe New England States, aud the crops
must consequently be very short Serius
Inconvenience will arise from this cir
cumstance /; but as the middle and south
ern states are promised an UNUSUAL plenti,
tu,!e of wheat, our farmers must not des-
pair of bread, nor complain. should they
be Obliged to cat white, instead of brown
loaves.
Though in some places potatoes and
other vegetables arc nnpromisirg, we are
told, that, generally, the crops may be ex>
pected to come IN bcunt fully.
Fruit of all kinds are highly promising
and entirely free from vermin. TIE latt, T
circuni stance, which has been caused by
the protraction Of cold weather, is worthy
of notice, since it shews that in every dis
pcnsation of Providence. good and evil Is
measured to us with an equal hand.
