TO THE PUBLIC.

The undersigned, being engaged in preparing
for publication, new edition of his Gazetteer
of Vermont" in connexion with the Natural and
Civil History of the State, did, during the last
spring aud summer, besides visiting many parts
personally, address circulars to postmasters, or
others, 10 most of the towns, requesting an.
swers to such queries as would enable him to
give full Typographical, historical and statst.
cal account of the towns, down to the present
time. To some of these he has received salts
factory answers; but to far the greater part, no
answers have been returned. Anxious that all
the towns should be fully and correctly de-
scrbed he takes this method to invite attention
to the subject and in case the persons to whom
the circulars were addressed are unable to at
tend to the business, he trusts that there are
persons in each town, who can and will furnish
the materials desired. In cases where the earlv
history and topography were correctly and fully
given in the first edition. all that will be neces.
sary be furnished anew, will be continuation
Of the history down to the present time, and the
present statistics. Persons furnishing an &C.
count of their towns, will contribute to render
the work more useful and satisfactory, and will
confer favor on the public, and on the public's

From the n. Y. Courier e. ENQUIRER.

The ship Mantle Captain Doy from Canton, from
whence she sailed the 9Th of July, arrived of the
Hook last evening.
The Mantle reports that the American ships AIDE
lnide and Washington had been stopped at the Bocca
Tigris, when coming out, by the blockadng squadron
then under command of Captain Warren, Of the VOL
ga. Application for Their release was made to Capt.
Smith then at Macao, who ordered the ships to the
anchorage at Capsuymoon and promlscd that the case
should be Immediately investigated. They had taken
in their cargoes before the Goth of June, when the
blockade was to commence, and II was believed that
they would be allowed to continue their voyage. The
Mantle touched at Angler where she spoke the ship
Resident, whose Captain informed Captain Doty, that
accounts from Singapore TO the middle OF August had
reached Batavia. The intelligence was that all at
tempts at negotiation by admiral Elliott with the
Chinese, had failed and that active hostlles had
commenced.
