Gentlemen,-I beg leave to inform you

coming to this island from the United
States, ale requested 10 have their invoI.
ces made and signed before they leave
port, otherwise they will be subject to pay
duty on the value of the merchandise
here.
1t IS also required, that the vessel be
consigned to resident merchant here,
before she leaves the port of the United
States, otherwise the transient duty of e
per cent. will be eyacted. am, gentle
men, your obedient servant,
~ SETH briggs.
EAs1PoRT, May 3.-Capt. Spring, who
was so unfortunate as to founder at sea.
was taken from bis sinking vessel by capt.
Mason of the brig Squirrel, who arrived
at ST. Johns IN. B. and who treated him
and his crew with every care and atten-
ton. Capt Spring took out OF bis vessel
and put on board the Squirrel, a small
quantity Of coffee and about fifty hats.
l he coffee as capt. S. states, he was al
lowed to ship to New York, but tn. hats
we're SEIZED as being American manu-
facture. and will be sold at the next Gus
tom.kouse sales" Now the seizing OF a
few hats from shipwrecked DsrIaer, is
30 sen.rous and noble an act that it should
BE- circulated from pole 10 pole, and If Mr..
SymnseS succeeds in establishing bis theo-
ry, /, ought to be trumpeted in the cavity
of the earth. On The same principles that
the above seizure was made, ought not
the Collector of this District to have seiz-
ed the cargo OF the British brig Bache Tor,
who got ashore on " 'Quoddy a short
time since in storm, and there obliged to
land her rum Most certainly. But in
stead OF ssising, our Revenue Cutter as
