n became necessary, Old odtaruay last, lot
,hs Collector of this port, TO enforce the Presi-
DENTS Proclamation in relation 10 the British
Colonial Trade. The English ship Kilinebuek
orLondon, from Antigua. with cargo of mo-
Leases. Rum s. wine, and several passengers,
arrived on that morning and was promptly or
dered 10 depart in twenty-four hours. On APP
Dlica,ion to the President Of The United States,
the passengers we've permitted TO land with
,bsir baggage, but no other privilege being
Granted the ship sailed, within the prescribed
time, for some port beyond the limits OF the v.

Letters have been received in New York from
Havana, stating that two Briggs belonging to
Com. Por,er's squadron, had been captured by
Iaborde's Reet; also that coas,ing vessel had

There are few public Journals conducted with
more canlor, and strict regard to truth, than
The New.York Times. Under this belief, we
Mace entire confidence in the positive opinion
Of lis Editors, that the Legislature Of New
York can, by no means, be brought to sup
mort the pretensions Of General Jackson. No
combinaiion,-they say,-or concentration Of
public opinion in his favor, has been effected

very decided majority Of the members Of the
Legislature are for the present Administration.

Of General Jackson calculate on majority, and
even in that district, The friends OF the Ad-
minis,ration claim 10 be two to one.

st. John paper says he passengers had TO
escape, 70 prevent being sent back. We pre-
sumo this is a mistake, unless they were those
unfortunates for whom bonds have long been
required under a state law, and who could not
give them.
Another ST. John paper says the Captain was
Kissed in the streets. This is Incredible -
There was NO motive. The people Of y York

must have had some personal quarrel; or the
Kissing must have been The unmeaning folly Of

COTTON.
The quantity Of COTTON now brought in bags
TO the Baltimore market, by the bay craft, from
the counties Of Virginia, situate on both shor,
OF the Chesapeake, is very considerable In
conversation with gentlemen from that section
Of country, we have been informed tina: It is
much more profitable crop, and suits their lands
better than the cultivation Of tobacco, which
they are abandoning altogether.--BaR Pat.
