readers, and those out of the state, might, without
some explanation, suppose that real depreciation

the great abundance ofnnempIoyed capital aHoat in

bic in the money result, others are highly produc-
tive, and that the people intended that the surplus
in the one case should compensate for the dehcen.
CIV in the other. We are equally opposed to an in
crease of postage, especially on newspapers, for
reasons given in our objections to abolishng post
routes and for others that equally obvious. Our
legislators indeed too often imagine that they arc
chosen for other purpose than TO calculate dol
lars and centsthey descend from the lofty station
Of conservators OF the present ard future liberties,
happiness and renown Of generous people, to the
drudgery and level OF West India supercargoes -
Suppose there is not as much money made by post
age defrays the cost OF transportation, are not
the people able and willing to pay the surplus, when
the effect Of increasing postage inevitably would be
the suppression Of intelligence, and the consequent
increase OF ignorance and vice. II is our opinion,
that IT there did MT exist any authority to collect
postage the government would be bound to convey
letters and newspapers by means OF funds derived
from other sources but fund exists, let it not
however be so limited as to destroy itsei-experi-
cnce has shewn, in England especially that in pro-
portion to the increase of post routes intercourse
has multiplied and revenue from letters increased ;
and as to newspapers, anxious as the government
is TO check the freedom Of the press they con-
veyed in England, free of postage What shame
then that the republic Of the United States should
propose TO lay another tax upon public information.
We really think that the project before congress
ought to excite throughout the country, the utmost
indignation If congress may abolish particular
post routes because money cannot be made, what is
to prevent their abolishng other ,outes, unless a
specific sum Of money should be yielded? if con-
gress may tax newspapers in order to make money,
why may they not upon that preiext eHrectuay stop
their circulation altogether, if a day shall arrive
when it may be convenient to conceal their own
abuse, If congress may say that printers shall not
receive more than fifty newspapers. they may limit
the number to single one, or take away the pri.
vege altogether but let the people recolect, that
although the printers strive to support their families
by their business, the republic has deep interest in
their welfare, and that to tax the printer is to tax
themselVes.-Au

by an arrival this morning from Port Rogers
formerly called Key West,) on the Coast of Eas
Florida, we learn that on the Oath. of March the
island was taken possession OF, in the name of III,
United States, in due fo,m, by Capt. Perry of the
United States sch. Spark.
We understand the island is seven miles long by
two broad. with some excellent land, and extensive
salt ponds capable of producing from three &c
four hundred thouand bushels Of salt per annum
and eligiby situated for supplying vessels ON that
coast with provisions, sc and esteemed remark
ably healthy The harbour is said to equal any in
the Gulph Of Mexico, both for safety and depth oil
water. and may become rendezvous for our navy
employed in those seas.
The settlement has been lately formed by a com.
pany Of eterprising gentleman Of this place, whose
calculations we are induced obelieve will not prove
visionary
The following extracts ola letter TO gentleman in
tha place, furnish some particulars Of the ceremony
Of taking possession.

awe have been present at a grand important
ceremony-lhat of taking possession of the Island
in the name OF the United States. This step was
taken in consequence Of letter from Mr.. s.,
which found its way to head quarters, and Capt
Perry, ofthe U s. schr Spark, who received orders
to come here to examine the harbour and island
speaks favourably Of it,
" We found here on our arrival the u. S. schr
Spark, commanded by Capt. Perry on board Of
which Mr.. Warner, the American agent at Havana
came passenger. This vessel was sent in conse-
quence of the representation made to government
to examine the situation and make report to the
navy board, which am happy to find will coincide
with our wishes. Capt. Perry, all his officers ant
Mr.. Warner, are very much pleased with the
place. and II depends on him tn say whether U. S
vessels shall rendezvous here not he Is decided
" in favour Of doing so. Pursuant to his orders
they landed on the 95th and planted in consp

FIRE.
This morning, about o'clock, fire broke out
in that part OF the city called sIish 1osvn, on Eutaw
street, in block of wooden buildings So combus-
tible was the state of the buildings and so difficult
to obtain, and so insufficient the supply of water
that from twelve to fourteen ;enements of various
descriptions, some small brick but principally
wooden ones were destroyed, so materially inur.
ed, as to remain Of little value. Many of the occu-
pants with difficulty escaped, saving their household
effects. The exertions of the Engine and Hose
companies, and the other societies displayed their
usual alertness and activity but from the circum
stance of the waters not being furnished steadily,
nor in sufficient quantity, the rayages Of the element
were uncomfortable.
We deeply regret to learn that Mr.. Garrety. a
cooper, was killed. and Mr.. Bachelor, blacksmith,
and three others badly wounded by the falling in of
a Roof. The most daring, energetic and industri-
Gus efforts were made to save the property The
lire is said to have originated in the stable of Mr..
Baiiy. Patriot.
