AUGUST 29-We have inserted in fo-,l,v's ,,ncr q,
communication from this place pubiished in the Rich
niomd Enquirer, respecting the prohibition of inter
course with the British West India Islands The wr-
ter slcws that he is familiar with the subject and
urges some strong points in support of his objections
to the prohibition, which may not he unworthy the Al
temuNe consideration OF our grave legislators After
tHree years trial OF the measure are unable 10
perceive any benefit thai has resulted from il in ma
t!o1t pom" Of DieU, and certainly il has been proLuc
tive of partial evil
Let us view il in the most favorable light, and we
can perceive IN II nothing that can Justify lis contn
ance. Great Britain, in shutting her West India norts
against foreign navigation, has consulted her rest
without giving any inst cause of complaint 10 us
WINE we, I'm rctaliaiing ON her, have produced
great pressure on ourselves, and promuied what we
intended to cripple her navigation. TEerdld
r. On SATURDAY last Coroners Inquest was held in
Suffolk OH the body Of ThoS Temer, a man of colour
and the report made, was, that he came to his death
by blows orby baving been thrown out ola canoe
INTO Nansemond river, near Whdock's wharf on the

10 announce the termination of malignant cases We
nave nS'u Oh 'eNeIal more daring tic past week. bdt
none beyond the usual limits of the disease Ii is 10
be observed, however, that in q few cases the fever
has been taken by persons residing IN healthy paris Of
TIC town, who have mprndcntiy exposed themselves
to the atmosphere Of the infected district but in no
instance whatever has the fever been communicated
10y contact with infected subjects although in many
cases winch have come within our knowledge tlcy
nave bad HE s1nic attendance from friends and rcla-
tive. as ~ ordinary complaints.
"e cannot omit ibis opportunity OF noticing the *
irayagant rnmours that circulated about the conn
Try, respecting The mortality in Norfolk. 80 great is
tic alarm they have excited, that country friends
~ despite oil common and the reports Of the In
spaciOr viii not believe that it is not ten times worse
thpn u really is. We viii undertake 10 answer foI
ourselves that had, this very time great deal
rather take our chance for health in Norfolk (the in
iecied section Of course eXccpted) than IN any other
part ot the country they could shew us within 100
miles ct H. We still adhere 10 the belief that ifno
communication is had with the sckly district by re-
guiar ftlng, and avoiding the night air and getting
wet, person is ~ moro danger from the fever j
Norfolk, than lit had never existed. [fIeroid
