The temleraen recommended it as absolutely ueceffary to» each applicant, to he ready to produce the strongest auddullett testimony of fervices.and.loffes, and most especially of the reafon.s, if any, why the claims were not made in time, and how 'it was irapqffible for them to be within the time limited by the aft; all Which will be required by the government, and must be precisely fpeci6ed.” A letter from London dated March 1 6, via-Boston, mentions, that “ by a late order, no-article whatever can be admitted into the ports of Great-Britain from America, in any */effel whatever, Britiflror foreign, except the fame is of the aftual produftion of the United States.

'being the day ap pointed for the General Assembly of this ftste to meet at Augusta, several of th* Members appeared on that day, but not • fufficient num ber to proceed to business, both branches ad journed till next day 1 end after a fitting of four days, adjourned on Friday evtuin tfine Time will not permit ua rn fever .our rwdew at this tirtif with a*ty nf their proceedings; bur a full detail of the fame lhall be given in our next. On the nth of February last, in the House of Commons of Great Britain, Mr. Fox wiftiqjd to know why the forts they have held in America since the peace have not been ceded to the States. Whether they ought to be ceded by treaty or not he could not pretend to fay ; but it was very lurprifing that the five provinces they nowpoffefa in America should require as. many troope to protest them as when they had 13 provinces to guard and keep in fubjeftion. With refpeft to Gibraltar, he would infill that there did not exist the ■ smallest occasion for any additional troopato protest that garrif m ; it has recently been put into a state of defence, which they have been told is absolutely next to invulnerable. For the Weft India ifiamis, the true mode would be, to prevent any surprise, to keep a luffiti ent number of troops at Halifax, wheie ihs' climate, and convenience for an army, weic certainly more encouraging than any of their iffands in the Weft Indies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought that at present it would be impohtirk to go . into any difeuffion concerning the forts which Government lias kept possession of since the peace at Paris- in 1783. At present he could not take upon himfelf to fatisfy the Honourable Member, as the divulging of certa-.n cireum ftances might probably affeft the intcrcft ot that country ; he therefore declined entering into any detail upon the fubjeft.
