sued here, containing the latest intetil-
gence from Mexico-which has occasion
ed much uneasiness and dissatisfaction
here amongst the well thinking and high

appear elated by the intelligence. The
corvette John Adams is still detained
here and it is whispered that she will not
be despatched until the packet from Ca
diz arrives. which is momently expected.

some ten or twelve days ago, remains in
the same situation as when last address
ed you-the most of her cargo has been
saved, and exertions have been made,
during the last four days, to get her OFT
the rocks, but to no effect. This port is
full of shipping, and freights are heavy
to the continent at from &c 10 z per
ton. The market is overstocked with A
merican produce, and the best Phlladel-
phia Flour will not command over SIS

Charleston or Savannah with rice, since
the Comet, that article has improved in
price, and the very prime will command
,S53 Der cwt. but no doubt will decline,
whenever the Jane, Catherine and Mary
Ann, from your port, will arrive, and
these vessels are now momently looked
for. The Robert Fulton left this on the

here about the 22d.

been very considerable, particularly to
the continent of Europe, and three fourths
of the crop has been already shipped
