‘§anannati: WUItSVM MOJijYLVG, Jan. Kb 1822. t J.J. Wheeler, who left Port-au-Prince .J! 3J December last, informs us- that the ort which* states that Philadelphia Flour com- J* but an inferior price in that market, and Sis going the rounds of the American pa re is entirely without foundation. It is cer >C that Flour from Philadelphia stands as fair in h"market of Port-au-Prince as that from New ark, or any other place. The story was evi dently got up by some mischievous person. So business of importance has yet been trans- Jed in Congress. But as the Christmas hob ,hvs mav now be considered as fiuriy over, we, may expect the nest mails will furnish us with ■ Jrnals of a more interesting nature. The celebrated Barnabas Bidyyell, the former •reasurer of Berkshire County, Mass, and go 0 „ account of some crooked money vent away between two days, was lately elected and member of the Assembly from Upper Canada. \ resolution was offered to expel him, and an a iiimateddebate took place thereon. Mr.lffdwell made an able argument in lus own defence. It •vas finally decided that he could not be expelled; ’ on any mere report of infamous conduct; there must be the conviction ot a court ot justice, or lome other positive evidence of guilt. A gen deman was therefore despatched to Massaclm setts to collect evidence on the subject. We understand from good authority that Mr. Lowsims has declined the nomination of thele gid'ture of South Carolina, and will not be a cui* Jhtc for the Prasidcncy.— Republican. f The following persons have been appointed by the President of the U.

Si Domingo.^- We had a report a strutj titat* since, that the Spanish part of the isl-j and of St. Domingo had been taken t>y the] patriots. This report did t.ot gain muchi credit, hut it was followed by a more plau sible one, which was that tlio section ot the island had declared itself independent of Spain. ‘Tiiis last report is strengthened in snme measure, by capt. Smith of the schoonerj Hazard, who arrived here yesterday in 15j days from cape Hay lien ; he states that just before he sailed, a schooner from St. Domingo, was sent, in there, prize to patri ot privateer, and that the Spanish captain protested against Ids detention, on the ground, as he a'ledged. that the country had joined the patriots, by declaring itself independent. * A letter by the Hazard, dated Dec. 22, quotes rice as dull at. 5 I-2 a 6 per 108 lbs.

Fire at Sullivan's Inland —A Fire broke out at this place uti Sunday Morn ing, I ’about 4 o’lock, in the house occupied by Mr. John Rose,as a Crockery store, in Middle-street, near the landing, it al so consumed the house of Mr. Calder, Mr. Duiong, and Mr, Kershaw, together with a few out-buildings.

A infecting of Merchants and Trailers was held in Philadelphia on the 24tlt -ult Matthew Carey in the chair, to take in to consideration the state of the coasting trade between Philadelphia and the south ern ports of the United States.—The great advantages experienced from the regular lines of packets between th V city and Boston and New-Ynrk were explained to the meeting, and a committee was appoin ted to in vile proposals from ship owners and others, fur the establishment of regular lines ol packets to ply between Philadel phia and Blakely, Pensacola, and other poits, where there is at present no such means of commuiiiulflnn ; and am liter committee to confer with the owners of packets between Philadelphia and the ports of Richmond, Charleston ami Savan nah, to endeavor to induce them to make arrangements fur the. departure of their respective vessels at regular stated periods. —These proceedings were unanimously <1 opted. COMMERCIALLY IM PORT ANT. The intelligent anil ever-watchful agent of the U. S. at Buenos Ayres, ( J . M. Forbes. Esq) has, after much labour, procured a Decree from the government of Buenos- Ayres, which must prove highly important to the Commerce of the U. S. and secure its navigation, on the high seas, from any further molestation from cruisers und.- the Buenos Ayrean Hag. Tlie letter enclo sing this important document, we have not room for, to day ; but the Decree itself, we hasten to give the public, on the moment of receiving it. Boston Getz.

In consequence of the offer made by the Minister of Government anil Foreign Re lations, to the Agent of the United States, ho has the honor of transmitting him a copy of a Demise, issued by the War and Navy department, respecting Privateering. With the Minister’s consideration and respect, he remains, Ike. (Signed,) Bzhno. Rivadavia. To J.M. Forbes, Esq. Agent of the United States of N. America. DECREE. Department of i var. One of the resources which tiie unfortun ate lights of war have made legal, and its j object necessary, is Privateering. The ; wat for the independence of the Provinces of Holland, and that of the United Slates of North America, have proved this kind of lios.trUy ‘one the most advantageous for a country that prepares to defend jts inde pendence against a more ancient and re mote country that has governed it. It is !itr.possible to foresee or repress every a jbiti-.e that mayjue occasioned by privaten * in!>-. flic government that finds itseil un . ° L’ ...I -.1 der the painful necessity of authorising and | e'O.i promoting this system of warfare, has | but two means whereby it can lessen its iile-! gai consequences; and consequently is on ly botlnd by two. obligations respecting it. The first is, to dictate such regulations, and take such precautions us may correct j those abuses ; not snti ring them to be coni-; mitted with impunity. In litis respect, the > government has fulfilled its duty. Ine privateering regulations prove it. The Be- j com! is, to put. an end to this kind of war- fare as soon as it becomes no longer neces- i sary, or when the result does not cosnpeo-| satu for tlie risks and ililii ‘-ultirs it tony produce. The government considers these) two events to have arrived ; and conse-j quently has agreed upon, aud decrees the; |id! lowing articles: — i Ist. In future, no Letters of Marque j land Reprisal shall be granted without pns-j j viously and solemnly publishing the cause j ■ that obliges the government to have re course tn the measure, i 2iiiy. Every person within the territo- j jry of this province, who may be hi posses-; !sion of any Letter of Marque, must pres-; lent it to the Minister of the Navy, within (fifteen days from the date of this decree.— )Sd!y. Those persons in countries situated beyond the equinoctial line, or on the coast of the Pacific, must present said let ter of Marque, at the Navy Office, within eight months. 4'h. The securities given shall become responsible for the fulfilmeut ot the two foregoing articles. sth. Every commander or a Privateer, cruising m virtue of a Letter ot Marque, ‘granted by any of the governments that iiaveexis'ed in this capital, at sight of this decree, shall cease to cruise, anil shall put into port to disarm, and return the li cence. 6t!>. Any one who shall transgress the fori going ariicies will incur the guilt of pi racy. Tilt. Every privateer that shall continue • o cruise after the expiration of eight months from the date of this decree, autho rized by license, from the government of this country, will be treated as a pirate.

IS3I. Piiii.ADELr.viA, Dec. 2D. We take the following paragraph fmm the St. Louis Enquirei ul Up ! 24th Nov.*— ft would seem that the tievV State of Mis souri is not disposed to pay modi, attention to that clause of tho Federal Constitution which says, “no state, shall emit hills of credit, nor make any thing but gold and sil ver a legal tender in the payment of debts: “It is doubtful whether there will be any more Loan Office certificates issued—but the Legislature appears desirous to make those now in circulation as serviceable as possible. All tiie ferries in the state are made to receive it for Ferriage expenses.— Magistt ates, Sierilts, and other nlficers fees, mavaisobe paid in Loan Office money; and as far as Legislative control canjurce its circulation it will be done.” J\'at. Gaz. Caution —An attempt was made early yesterday morning to set lire to the wooden house, iu King-street, opposite Beaufain-st. Some boards were ripped off, and fire and combustibles forced into the opening. It was fortunately discovered by a gentleman next door from the smoke that arose, wlioj found on the spot a pair of tongs that had j been used by the incendiary.

The fire originated from a crack in the chimney, near the roof, dhe building was of wood, and the fuespread with such rapidity that it became in a short time wholly enveloped in flumes. ,V. T.

Spowtane'-wi Combustion. —A corres pondent in the Vermont Gazette, states that there area variety of reasons for be lieving that the farm house of Governor Skinner, at Manchester, was destroyed by ‘spontaneous combustion. He states that there was stored in the upper story of the house “a large quantify of wool, chiefly merino—which i> known to be highly com bustible, from the great quantity of oil with which it is impregnated;” and that “ the whole length of th*’ roof was in a flame before it was discovered, which ren ders it most probable that the fire took the inoersidt, as,from the conspicuous situa tion oftlie mansion, it must have been discovered in its earlier stages, had it ta ken upon the outer side.” Worcester Spy.

Since the present proprietor has been inter ested in the Museum, accounts for advertising and subscriptions have been accumulating, year alter year, with ho good prospect of their bein'* speedily liquidated. Having undertaken the est ablishment without funds, and at a high valua tion, we becime invoked for a considerable a. mount, while .be actual receipts have been scarce ly sufficient to meet the current expences of the business. Our subscription list has continued to increase; our advertising patronage has swelled to an amount beyond our warmest expectations. But still we found ourselves incumbered with demands which it was difficult to satisfy. Under ibis view cf affairs, we came to the resolu ‘ou of closing the concern of Kappcl A Bartlet ; and that we might be able to meet the demands a gainst ourselves, we determined to insist upon a speedy settlement wish every person indebted to the establishment. v - This course will appear the more reasonable when it is considered that matiy of these debits have been standing for five years. During which period, even many wealthy gentlemen of this city, and n.ost of our country subscribers, have been receiving the Museum” without ever remembering to make the least payment. We ■shall, therefore, without the least reserve, place every demand of this nature iu the hands of a le gal agent, for summary collection. To those of our friends who have patronize-’ our establishment, and paid ns for our labor, wo return our warmest and sincere thanks. * But to those who have boasted of bestowing their pat ronage, for the purpose of giving us their coun tenance and support, but who have never paid us a farthing—although we feel grateful, as in duty bound to ilo, for their good Will—vet we must add, that necessity compels us to decline their fa vors in future. Those who may be in arrears to us, and are unable to pay, 'without really distressing themselves or their families, it is not our intention to press. We are disposed to wait better fortunes and bet ter times. It is an indulgence which we ask. for ourselves, and wh eh we are perfeeriv willing grant to others. But those who hare ir.anev and put off our just claims, from a wivit t>.’ oar ii monv or from inattention, on ex- oct no • uch delay. BART? F.T'.
