taken that large and well known tavern
establishment, known by the name of the

from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided with the
best of liquors, bedding, slabllDg, anc in
short, with every thing necessary for the
convenient aud comfortable accommoda-
ton of travellers, and for permanent and
transient boarders. Private families OF
members of Congress and others can, at
all times, be furnished with private, COM
Portable and we'll furnished rooms, with
good and faithful servants to attend upon
them There is, perhaps, no house OF
public entertainment in this coantry better
calculated for the purpose than this, and
none, it may be safely affirmed, m his
District at all equal to it. The house is
now undergoing some improvements, and
will IN the course of few days, be ready
for the reception of company. There are
four or five lines of stages which run to
and from this house daily; and :here is an
excellent well constructed steam boat
which plies every day between George
town and Alexandria.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
ern at Rossburgh, near BIsdensburgh,
deems il unnecessary here 10 make dis
play Of promises for giving satisfaction to
those who may think fit 10 iavby him with
their custom; but this much he Will say.
that no exesions or his paysi shall be

be does hope that from his experience in
this line OF business, and his general dis
position to please, to ENJOY foli share OF

be regulated by the present and increasing

THE SEASON IN THE WEST.

CHARLESTON, June 4.-The Western
papers inform us, that the past winter has
been one Of uncommon severity, and the
spring invariably wet, cold and disagreed.
BILE. The 81. Louis Republican, OF the 9Th
April, states. that plants Of various kinds,
which had withstooi the frosts OF preced-
ing years, have been killed by the intense
cold of this.--Large masses of snow are
supposed to have accumulated OIL the
mountains neal the head waters OF the
Missouri and mississippi Notwithstand-
ing the crop OF corn was abundant last
year 10 Kentucky, yet, from the severity
of the season, tins article OF food bad be-
come scarce at Lexington, towards the
last of April. and the price there nearly
double what il usually is at that period OF
the year. Many cattle had persisted in
that vicinity, from the inclemency of the
weather and scarcity OF food But spring
was opening, and vegetation rapidly put.
ing forth on the first day OF May; and the
farmers were busily employed in prepar.
ing their fields for The ensuing crop, which
was likely to be extensive.

COM. PORTER,s SQUADRON.

Enquirer received yesterday, we find a
letter dated at Attention, Thompson's
Island, lIth May, 1898, from an officer
on board the squadron employed in the
suppression Of piracy. After detailing the
arduous duties which had been discharged
in examining every har5or and inlet OH the
ter proceeds
Having put down all piratical establish.
ments on this side OF the Island, you will
perceive by the foregoing statement that
we are extending our operations to asccr-
tain whether any exist in other quarters,
We have been on the station not quite two
months, and in that time no act OF pira
cy has been conmilted-with force not
more than equal to one OF our large til.
gates we have put it down,S not only given
complete protection to our own commerce
but to that OF all other nations, who have
in common with our own trade, enjoyed
all the benefits of our conveys.
Perhaps there are very tew persons,
no are aware of the extent, and impor.
lance, Of our trade to Cuba. think since
we have been here, that our convoy lists,
will give all average of 80 arrivals and
departures weekly, OF American vessels
for Havana, and about two thirds OF that
NUN Der for Mataazas- and there is scarce
ly day without our seeing three or four
pass this place.
Our operations have been much embar.
rassed by an order, which has been given
TO prevent our vessels from entering the
minor ports Of Cuba-and although re-
peated applications have been made to the
Captain General, for its revocation, it is
still in force. When last at Matanzas,
much alarm prevailed, in consequence of
the assemblage Of body of robbers, (l8
or 20 10 number, well mounted and arm
ed, who were committing depredations 10
the very entrance OF the town. There is
no doubt OF their having been driven by
US from similar practices on the ocean, and
not being molested by the local authorities
when there, | presume they must have
calculated on the same conduct II they
commenced land privateering. They will
be deceived the injury comes hone TO e.
very member Of the community, and vi.
gorous measures bad been taken for their
apprehension.
As the order for our exclusion from the
ports OF Cuba, may have an important
bearing on our own lrads 10 that island, as
we'll as that OF other commercial nations
the Commodore has permitted ME to
take copies of two letters, he has address.
ed to the Captain General on the subject
NEITHER OF which has been answered.
