CHESTER. (Pa.) Nov. 81. On Saturday morn
ing last, General Bernard, Brevet Major Pousin,
of the typographical corps, and Mr.. Joshua Gilpin,
of Delaware, arrived a, Chester from Philadelphia
on examination Of the lower route; having COM
pleted their examination of the middle route by
Port Deposit, and the Upper route by Conewingo
| and New London I Roads. Immediately on the
arrival o. General Bernard at Chester, he was wait
| ed on by William Anderson, Samuel Edwards,
Preston Eyre, and George g. Leper, Esqs. who
rendered their services TO the General, on behalf
of the citizens of Delaware county. From wha,
we can learn, it appears that General Bernard has
| sounded the Susquehannah, and about one mile be-
low the ferry, in twenty eight feet water, the bot
tom had proved firm, and well calculated for sink
ing pier for the purpose of erecting bridge over
that majestic river. Above the ferry, the bottom
was found not to be so favourable.
| The General left here the same day he arrived
to continue his examination on the lower route.
The Baibadisn of September the 18th, says,
| We are informed that Bermuda is included in the
Order in Council, as one of the West India ports,
which will be shut against American shipping from
and after the LIST OF December next, and that Anne
rican articles will not be allowed to be brought
through ST. Thomas, Tor any other foreign port,
to those colonies; must, therefore, look IN the
event OF matters not being satisfactorily arranged
