The report Dated that the Poll-Office may
probably be made to yield a revenue of
100,000 dollars.
So much of the Impolt Law as imposes
duties on wines, ardent spirits, teas and cof**
fee, it is proposed lhould be repealed, after
the firft of May, for the purpose of
a law laying an enhanced duty on those arti
cles: These enhanced duties, with the pro
ceeds of the prefent/evenue from imports and
tonnage, and a duty on diflilleries, tec. ac
cording to the ertimate exhibited,- will pro
duce the sum required for the pay ment of the
interert on the present debt of the United
States, add the Support of government.
The idea of diferiminating between origi
nal creditors and those by purebafe, is repro
bated, and every argument in favor of-ducha*
plan, in our opinion, is totally exploded.

NASSAU, (N. Providence) Dec . 23.
Accounts from Grenada announce a gene
ra) alarm among ail rank of people in that
island and its dependencies, on account oT the
King of Spain’s Proclamation, publiihed at
Trinidade, lefpefting run-away negroes, to
.whom offers of protection and security are
openly made. In consequence of which the
Legiflaturc have parted an ad, compelling the
:owners of all canoes, boats or perriaogers,
of 14 feet keel and upwards, to give security
in the Secretary’s office, and to take out a li
cence for navigating the fame. They have
also : empowered the Governor to fit out two
armed vertels. The pteamble to the aCt in
question, reciting the necessity of the mea
fuies adopted, contains a very severe reflec
tion upon the Spanish Monarch.

that a Parson in year Senate- -was violently
opposed to a convention, and prevented the

That the ,Parson, being obliged to.gttenff to
the cure of fouls, was under 4 necessity of
banishing worldly cares on that day ;. aud
that his a-bfence occasioned an equal division
of the Senate, which furnifhed the Governor,
