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.

A MERCHANT. Savannah , 31f Auguf, 1802. 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. New York, Auguf 12. 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 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.

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.

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.
