this port for than three months past arrived here
few days since from New Orleans August Ia was the
date Of the last arrival. and comes the ship Oliver
Moses laden with 1850 hogsheads OF tobacco These
arrivals quite refreshing, though they indicate
very limited trade between the States and Naples.
On the oath ARRAY occurred board OF this vessel
