Major General Jacob Brown has reiurnrd,n
the City, from his visit to the North, we are
glad to learn, in improved health.
The last accounts from MIR. Secretary
Crawford, we understand, are tn the 29th
ultimo. They represent him as improving in
health, but as having bern seriously III.
r MAT. Int.
The British order ia council for laying a
duty of Is. Sd. sterling per ton upon our YES
sells, trading to the colonies, and ten per cent
upon the other duties, Ia meet our foreign and
tonnage duties, will fall very heavily upon all
bulky articles. Upon cargo Of lumber il is
said, that, in some instances il will amount to
80 or 40 per cent on the whole. The British
government has been willing that British ves-
sells should be placed upon no better footing,
as to that trade, than our own, but wishes to
favor the colonial productions, in which we
rivalled them in the West Indian market, by
placing smaller duty on them, whether
brought in their or our vessels. The effect Of
the new tonnage and countervailing duty will
not altogether fall upon the producer, but
more heavily perhaps upon the British coiO-
mist, AS we supply him with aecessaries, which
he cannot do without. IF the duties upon
cargo of lumber be 80 or 40 per cent. that WILL
generally speaking, raise the price go far upon
him, and SD of other articles; but in cases
where they are produced by another colony,
and are favored by the Act of Parliament, he
will get them perhaps something lower, and
in the mean time the difference between the
amount of duty paid upon them and upon the
same articles, coming from the United States,
VIII operate as bounty to produce them in
the British territory.
What will be the course to he taken by
Congress, cannot be foreseen. We have no
doubt, that the mercantile class will prefer the
acceptance of the terms established by the
Act of Parliament, accompanied with with
drawal of our and the new British tonnage and
countervailing duties, to the former CONNER
clal non intercourse, or the present state of
things. But whether that election would br
wise, upon broad national scale, is differ
ent consideration. If the question depended
upon the ultimate success of the coercion, to-
be produced by the restoration Of the restric-
tons on our part, we should not doubt of their
efficacy. Phil. U. S. Gdz.

fHHubetWttu, sou5' To-
On the 10th Of June, Capt. Garwood, oflbc ship
Magnet OF this port, was boarded, and taken pos
session oil, by Spanish Prvateer, between Cape de
Gatt' and Cape PABLO, near Alicaut run into Bay,
near the land on the coast, and anchored in four
fathom water. Capt. Garwood was prevented from
landing or from sending letter. to the American
Consul, at Allcant, and he, as we'll as his crew,
were much abused by the free hooters, while lying
at anchor. AT one time they presented loaded
musket at his breast, and at the first and second
ohcers because they could not get as hearty sup.
per as they wished. About O'Clock that night
two priyaeers, with about fifty men, went along side
and ordered the ship to be got under way, and to
stand to sea- as they said for the purpose of procee
ding for Carthagena, but captain Garwood soon
found their intention was to pilage the ship, and
refused to get under way. They then proposed,
that he should permit them to load their vessels,
with Tobacco and Coffee, and they would give him
receipt for them, but when they found they could
not prevail on him. they determined to murder him
and the mates, and load their vessels and then burn
the ship, with all hands on board. Fortunately the
night was very calm, and the ship made but little
way from shore, and, as she lay too close to the
harbour, Tor them to accomplish their intentions,
they robbed her of every thing they could lay their
hands on. Next morning, after taking about 90
boxes of Segars, and as many bales of Tobacco,
with all the spare Canvass, Liquors. &c. &c. they
lett him, in pursuit Of another vessel Capt Gar
wood then got under way and arrived sale at Ahcan
that night.
