unusually weighty, viz: 5374 bags i4.aH

throughout was marked with peculiar ani
inatiun. Notwithstanding this extraordi
nary demand, however, few sales have
been made at an advance of more than t-2d
per lb. and even this can scarcely be said
to have been generally realized. It is not
easy to determine the motive which beta
ate* the purchasers, in this sudden change
of their views; per.haps it may be' two
fold.on the one hand—the expectation that
the manufacturers will cume.to.an ar

to those who make a pretence of the South

Amsterdam letters q'f the 4th inst. fnen
tion, that the Dutch have in vain, claimed
from the Spanish government the payment
ofa loan of about three million sterling, con
tracted in 1807, atan interest of 5 percent
per abn. upon which amount neither cap
ital nor interest have ever been paid to
the duped contractors. Communications
of the most pressing nature have been bad.
within the last 18 months, with the Mad
rid cabinet, but t&ey.hiive produced no ef
fect; the present ministers of his Catho
lic Majesty pretending, that Spain it
not bound to pay the amount, because the
negotiation was carried into effect previ
ous'to their coming into power, by corrupt
negotiators, and other ministers, Blinding
undoubtedly to Godov.. This answer has
irritated the Dutch government, who, if
appear*, has taken up the affair in a n&
tiunal point of view; and in conaeqnence,
the ambassador from the Netherlands at
the court ot Madrid hss made the strong
est remonstrances on the absurdity of the
excuses alledged by the Spanish cabinet:
The latter, in order to quiet these repeated-
applications, has lately proposed to admit
the Dutch debt on the same footing as ths
Vales Reals, that is to say" to reduce it to
about one fourth of its original value: but,
even then, without giving any security for
the payment of the reduced amount.-—
The' Spaniards,- however, have found .that
it is not easy to satisfy the Dutch mer
chants as it lately was their own, (or far
from accepting such unjust and ungrate
ful proposals, the Dutch new tluougl
their ambassador, insist, in stronger terms
than ever, to be paid the full amount ot
the debt, offering at the same time, to take
in payment lands at a fair valuation, in
case the court of Madrid has no specie.—
The Dutch have rejected with contempt
the proposal of placing their own claims
on a level with the Vales Reales, and con
sidered it in the light of a downwright in
suit. Things have come to such a piten.
that we should not be surprised .to see the
Dutch lay hold on Puerto Rico, or some
point in America, near their islaMofCur-
acua, as, it appears, the North Africans
have'done with the Floridas, AND AS

ceived a file of papers to the 15th July.—
They contain nothing of much interest.

JUDICIAL ANECDOTE.
At the last insolvent court, for the ci (y
and county of Philadelphia, David Car r,
who was applicant for the benefit of tl le
insolvent act, was opposed on the groun id
ol fraud. It appeared, from the evident *
produced, that the applicant’s goods ha d
been -levied on by the sheriff,- and a watch •
man was left in charge; it was, however
contrived to make the wafehman intoxi t-
cated, and takeaway and-aetret all th e
property. Mr. Lloyd, jcho was concern •
ed fur the petitioner, pqpduced a-bill i d
sale of the goods, made to a third persut i;
and contended that his client'conld notb m
convicted of fraud, under the act of assemjt-
blv, which consisted of concealing At* out p
goods from. his creditors; whereas', Carjr
had at most only carried away a'nd con i- -
cealed the goods of another person. Th,e
learned judge admitted the poignancy o f
the counsellor’s argument; but declarer!
that, as a necessary consequence of th- a
same, the defendant must be committed l
for larceny, and accordingly committal!
the insolvent to answer for that offence.— •
This is what is termed getting out of th a
frying-pan into thejire.—[Phil. Cent.
The Petersburg Intelligencer efthe 31 it
ult. states, that it is generally understood,
by those who have the best opportunity of
being acquainted with the view of the exes,
cutive, that a scite on York river will cer
tainly be chosen for a navy yard, that gen
eral. Bernard is reported to have given
it as his decided opinion that York river »
had greater ad vantages for su.*.h-a .purpose f
than any other he had seen.—In (his event
(says the Intelligencer) the United States
contemplate having a canal passing
through the town of Williamsburg, from
the college to capital landing, connecting
James and York rivers by the medium of
Archer’s hope and queen’s creek. A
major of the United States engineers was
surveying these creeks 10 days ago for - '
this purpose. (

o.n those waters. 1 had been constantly
on the river, between this plac and Pensa
cola Bay, from 19th of February until-the
19th of April, with from sixteen to twenty
four men under my command. Ihadiiego-
dated with the governor of Pensacola, for
the purchase and transportation of-provis
ions though the waters of the Esrabia -and
Conecco to Fort Crawford. I had'alto
obtained permission, for a party of sixteen
men to meet me at Durants’* Bluff; about
twenty-five miles distant from Pensacola,
to assist me in ascending the river, it* be
ing impossible to procure men in Pensaco
la. Lient Maul was sent With this party,
and not finding me at the place designed,
on the day appointed, he dispatched two
men down the river in a canoe, to meet me.
These men were attacked in their cause,
by nine Indians, a smart engagement
sued, in which three of tho indiabs v .,
killed. The soldiers being both wounded,
retreated tq Fort Crawford. I am sir,
