Brown, ESQ.,, Auchlochan, near Lesmahago

rebeldom can be carried on under the proteC
tion of the British fag. He says:

our coast by the Yankees, exchange on EuroI
Is very high, selling for two hundred per cen
There IL a great quantity Of cotton, and tobat
co, and naval stores in our country, and II
purchase OF all these products offers fine nel
for large profits. Cotton, at safe points, is sci
ing at twenty cents, and tobacco from flftee
to forty cents. These prices, of course, az
payable In our currency, and when the price {
exchange is credited to the purchaser, will brin
the cost very low.
