About the latter part Of September first of October
last the brig Plymouth cleared from this port TO-.
Havana From information in possession. as clear

have the strongest conviction that this brig loaded
with arms ammunition and munitions Of war In this

enemies of country. This too, was her third or
fourth voyage with similar csrgoes. The brig was
Spanish house of greet wealth and extensive

If these facts be true we call upon the District Ahor

be made into the Of nature suspicious
to impress citizens with the conviction that there
are enemies and spies IN midst
We may also add that suspicious are extensively en-
teraned in this community in regard to the cargo Of the
bs Coosa which brought day before yesterday
by Passed Midshpman Barrett and which, although al
legged to consist altogether of cotton is believed by many
to be composed besides Of certain articles Of
intended for the enemy.
