This ftatementi? however corredtly it may (hew the
foreign sports of each fate , yet is very incorreft as far
*as regards the real exports of the state ot Georgia, tor,
ijiftead of her ranking as the eighth state in point ot ex
ports of her own growth, the following table proves,that
{he is entitled to rank as the seventh.
EJlimate of the produce , of the growth of the fate of Georgia, ftipped from the

N. B. The estimate for the port of Savannah is taken
from the cuftomhpufe books; that for Sunbury is taken
from tlie information of an intelligent merchant in Sunbu
ry; from the ports of H irdwicke, Brunfwitk, and St.
Mary, no estimate can be obtained, but it is supposed
the shipments from them are trifling.
We will extend the view of this lubject further, and,
by deducting from the foreign exports of eacli state the va
lue of what has been furniflied them coaftwife by Georgia,
it will (hew the precise value of the exports of t- ch state
for the term above mentioned, as far as the exports of
Georgia coaftwife have any operation on them.

By the above statement you find we (land the seventh
state in the Union in point of the value of our exports, and
next to the ancient dominion, which we willToon exceed,
If we travel on at the amazing rate we have done for five
years pad. It nuift all'o be remarked, that, in the eftimatfe
of the exports of this state, lumber, one of our staple ar
ticles, is excluded, from the difficulty of alcev-taining the
quantity and value. Could the value of the lumber and
(lock Ihipped be truly alcertained I Jiave no liefitatiou in
faying the value of exports from the state of Georgia, of
her own growth, for the period above dated, would ex
ceed four millions of dollars. ‘
The tonnage of veffqls loaded at Savannah iu the year
, 1801 amounted to 26,725 tons.

BOSTOJf, Auguf 16.
THE (hip Union, Benjamin Hooper mailer, from Ali
cant for Boston, (ladsi) with fait) out 65 days, was
on the icth instant wrecked on the Iflejpf Sable.’ She
went on (liore about one o’clock a. ?*r. in thick squally
weather, on the south fide of the island. The breakers
soon (love in the dead lights, made a breach over the mip
and filled her with w!er. In this dreadful situation they
remained until daylight, when foirie of the people attempt
ed to land on a raft, biA were prevente'd by the heavy tea
and strong current, whicn broke the raft in pieces, and the
seamen with much difficulty-were taken on board again.
Fortunately they were focn difeovered by the people on
the-island, and a warp being lent to the (bore on a spar,
the captain, mate, and crew, were saved by that means;
but a gentleman of the name of Montgomery, paffengetv
in the (hip, was unfortunately drowned by the furf. On
the island they were treated with much humanity and kind
ness, and aflifted in fitting up the (hip’s long boat, in which
capt. Hooper, with fix of his people, have arrived here.
The ft.ip and cargo were totally loft; but part of the rig
ging, fails, &c. were saved by the exertions of the (hip’s
crew and the people on the island.

To the EDITOR of the EVENING POST.
Sir, New York, August 10.
FINDING that a story, long since propagated under
circumstances which it was exyeefted would soon consign it
to oblivion, (and by which 1 have been complimented at
the exper.ee of generals Washington and La Fayette) has
of late been revived, and has acquired 0- degree of import
ance by being repeated in different publications as well in
Europe as America, it becomes a duty to counteract its
currency and influence by an explicit disavowal.
The story imports in substance, that general La Fay
ette, with the approbation or connivance of general Wash
ington, ordered me, as the officer who was to command
the attack on a British redoubt in the course of the siege
of York Town, to put to death all those of the enemy
who should happen to be taken in the redoubt, and that,
through motives of humanity, I forbore to execute the
order.
Positively and unequivocally I declare, that no such
or similar order, nor any intimation or hint resembling it,
was ever bv me received, or understood to have been given.
It is needless to enter into an explanation of some oc
currences, on the occasion alluded to, which may, be con
je(ft 11 red to have given rise to the calumny; it is enough
to sav, that they were entirely unconnected with any act
of either of the two generals who have been accused.
With esteem, I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. Hamilton.
Auguji 17 . Tlic following communications have palled
between the mayor of the city and the commercial agent
of the French republic relative to the French frigates re
cently arrived in this harbor.
New York, Augud 14, TBO2.
Sir,—l have been informed that the frigates belonging
to your nation, now in this harbor, have a great number
of negroes (llaves or prisoners) confined on board. You \
are acquainted, fir, with the scrupulous jealousy with
which our laws watch their introduftion into our country,
and will therefore perceive it to be a duty which, as its
firfl magiflrate, 1 owe this city, to requell, through you,
an alfurance from the commander of the lqtiadron that
none of thole people {hall under any pretence be permitted
to land. I hope too it will not be deemed an indifcreti
-011, on a point so interesting to our police, to ask whether
the force on board is fully adequate to prevent any riik of
inlurrettion or escape.
I have the honor to be, with great relpefl, your mod
obedient lervant, Edward Livingston.
Citizen Archambal , commercial
agent of tbe French republic.
Hon. Edward Livingjlon, Mayor of tbe City cf Mew
■York.
Mr. Mayor, —On the receipt of the letter which you
did me the honor to write me yesterday I communicated
its contents to the commander of the French division now
anchored in this port. I hasten totranfmit to you a copy
of his answer, which I hope will appear to you latisfacfory
on all points.
I have the honor to inform you that, in consequence of
the fears manifefted by the inhabitants of this city on the
approach of the frigate La Confolante, the commander lias
ordered her back to the quarantine as soon as poiTible. We
flatter ourselves that you will fee in this Aep the sincere
wish of pleasing you.
I have the honor to be, with refpeef, Mr. Mayor, your
very humble servant, L. Archambal.

Tbe Commandant of the Naval Division cf tbe French
Republiegjto Citizen Archambal , GommiJJioner of
GommerWal Relations at New York.
Citizen Commissioner, —I receive this inflant the
letter you have done me the honor to write, with a trjjflfti
lation enclosed of the one add re fled to you. Iha den to
answer them, by afiuring you, that the mod severe orders
had been previously given to prevent any man of color
from having any communication with the land; and this
morning the fame orders have been renewed. 1 hope this
alfurance will give full latisfa&ion to the mayor of the city.
These pei ions have moreovei behaved very peaceable
since their importation; and this country does not seem
calculated to inspire them with any ideas of revolt; but,
if an v fnch should lie entertained, I can aifure you mod
politively that the land forces on board are more than dif
fident to keep them in good order. I has-e the honor to
i’alute. you.

A Sffi *9* We learn from capt. 8001, of the IV I
Protector, who arrived here vefterday in .-d a ™f ‘I
Cadiz, that just before he failed lie saw a letter fiLj
S;mp(on, American consul at Tangiers,’who was then A
Gibraltar, having been driven out of the emperor of M l
rocco s dominions; also an official circular note from ml
Kirkpatttfk, dating that, on the 17th June, two AJJ
can vessels f the brigs Rossi and Franklin, botli belongl
to Pliflauelphia) had been captured in the MediterranS I
off Cape Palos, by the Tripolitan cruisers. This Infoiml
tion was officially communicated bv mr. Kirkpatrick al
mr. Terry, the American vice consul at Cadiz. I nc J
lequence of the abrupt treatment which mr. SimpWj
ceived commodore Morris, of the United States frfoJ
Chesapeake, proceeded to Tangiers, which place he I
ctoufly blockaded. This measure had a happy effed; so 1
the emperor soon recalled mr. Simpson, .and'he was acW j
filly carried back to Tangiers in the frigate Chesapeake,!
where he was informed that lie might remain in the eJ
peror’s dominions for fix months longer, or till advices]
(hotild be received from the United States. 1
Another letter from mr. O’Brien, American consul jt|
Algiers, mentions, that on the day of June he feta I
American veflel in poffeflion of a 1 riuolitan corsair pa(liv|
