II is not generally understood (remarks the
Philadelphia Gazette) that British vessels
which may enter the ports ofthe United States
after the lst of December next, from any OF the
ports included in the late Order Of Council,
will be liable 10 be conhscated.
The act OF May 9Th, 1922, gave authority to
the President to open our ports Tor British yes
sells from the colonies, on principles OF retipro-
city; but the sixth section of the act OF March
LIST, 1928, says SHAT if, at any time, the inter-
course between the United States and any Of
the above enumerated British Colonial ports,
should be prohibited by British order in
Council, from the time the same shall COM
mence to be in force" the act OF March LIST,
1923, shall cease to operate in their favor, and
the act Of April 18th, 1918, shall revive and DC
in full force.
The act of April 18th, 1918, which is thus
VIRTUALLY revived by the late British Order in
Council, is very positive. declaring, "that the
ports of the United States shall be and remain
closed against every vessel owned wholly or IN
mart by subjects of His Britannia Majesty, CO.
ming from any port or place in colony or ter
ritory of His Britannia majesty that is or shall
be. by the ordinary laws Of navigation, closed
against vessels owned by citizens of the United
States" And furthermore, that every such
British vessel entering one of our ports, shall,
with her tackle, cargo, sc. be forfeited to the
United States.
The Philadelphia Gazette is correct in its re-
ference to the act of March /, 1923, as far as it
goes, but it stops short of very material part
OF the act, by emitting, or overlooking, the
clause.immedia,ely following the passage quot
I'd which clause is in these Words" Pfoclan'a-
tion to that effect having been made BY the Presi-
dent of The United States"
Now, up to this day, ii is known, no such pro-
clamation has been issued. If intended to be
issued. it would doubtless have been issued be-
fore this time, seeing that the British Order in
Council is to go into operation this week. we
think it quite probable, therefore, that the proc
lamation will not be issued. The commence
ment of the session of Congress being SO near
the day named in the Order in Council, 1t Is
not unlikely that the Executive has determin-
ed to submit the matter wholly to the discretion
of Congress, instead of exercising discretion
upon IL himself wal INT.

Extract of . private letter dated Mecklen-
burg, Oct Z: aOur harvest has proved indiffer-
ent. The scarcity in Sweden and England has
doubled the prices of our grain, and may ire
BILE them. We, however, derive no advantage
from this except so far as we have old stock in
hand, or can save any thing for sale. A great
part of the grain warehoused at Rostock and
Wisman was the property of English and other
foreigners, who profit by the rise in the prices,
while our discouraged merchants profit but lit
tie. A large quantity of corn was purchased
by the Swedish Government, before September,
at low prices In the country and the small
towns the stock in warehouses has been greatly
reduced by the great consumption for the dis,ii-
iers, which, on account of the low prices, did
not use potatoes Blu, rye, part of which was in
deed damaged.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
THE SPECULATOR-
To THE ENQUIRER /:

SIR-I am highly grat6ed with the
ulatious but must be excused from au-
swering all your questions. | shall,
however, answer. such as relate to the
subjects treated on in my speeu!aiions.
You wish to know what meant by
the expression that the human mind
"scorns confinement" My words were
"abhors confinement: and did not
lay it down as an axiom, or give it as a
dogma-but merely made use Of the OK.
preston, in my exordium, as a reason
why people were fond of contem plating
on subjects which are in their natures
vast or unlimited--like Tie system Of the
universe; and which, hoped, would
render the subjects on which treated,
pleasing. But if your mind likes con-
tinement, must even abandon the main
pillar on which my theory is supported,
for there is no analogy between your
mind and mine.
Seriously-Is not the human mind
delighted with any thing grand, or sub
lime Is it not delighted with something
ue7o ? If not, why is the acquisition Of
know ledge pleasing and why do some
things which once pleased, cease to do SO
when they become stale, by being famil-
lar? think, sir, your mind would abhor
TO be confined to the contemplation Of
one subject, Especially if j, were very
limited one,) as much as to have
your body confined in dungeon; and
would shudder at the thought that i,
would never make another acquisition in
knowledge.
You "very much desire to know" who
l meant by the Great Unkno7vn." II
you had attended, more strictly, to the
grammatical construction of the sen.
tehce in which it occurs, think you
could not have supposed, for a moment,
that | meant any thing more than some
great man who writes novels. My words
were "to crafty this propensity of the
human mind the +" Great Unknown" and
many well knozvn authors write their
fashionable Noveis." The author Of the
celebrated "Waverly Novels" though
living, is unknown; and the literary Pc
riodical publications Of Europe, have
called him the " Great Unknown" novel
writer. That's all.
You have favored US with definition
Of the word ANALOGY; and have quoted
some authorities to shew that ii does not
amount to positive proof. l never sup
posed that it did; and l only proposed
"to prove number of things, as far as
Analogy could prove any thing" See
No. |. And in commencing No. o,
say: /" shall now undertake to shew
the great Probability" &c. Though
used the term hrove sometimes, yet
did not imagine that any one would think
that supposed the matters and things
ON which my speculations treated, capa-
BILE Of being f" proven to demonstration. .
And permit me to tell you, sir, that if
you believe nothing but what can be thus
proven, the articles Of your faith will be
few.
