THE following is an extraft of a letter from Cape Nichols Mole,
dated February B.—'l'rade is very dull here, all things we biing
low, and molafles very scarce and deat. There are near 4.0 fail of Englilh
vcfltls here, above one third of which are from Rhode liland; andanuin
ber of others, which have been for fomc time at Tui k’s- liland, are also
expelled from thence, as no Frenchmen will go there when molafles aie
at so great a price here.’*
By Captain Gordon, who arrived at Marblehead lad Thursday in fix
weeks from Lisbon, we learn, that Captain Jenkins, in a brigantine be
longing to Nantucket, was arrived there from London, which he left the

Ntnu-Tork, March 30. We just now fee aft account from London which
fays, that they were in hopes that the R gh-m party would foots come
into the Miniilry, who would repeal the alls we complain of. That L
H b —h fays that the (MU are bad, but will not repeal them while A
merica denies the right. That the tide was turning in our favour 1 That
the M——y are heartily flek of taxing America, and only want to save
the honour of Parliament, to get rid f t hem; and that if we tticlc dole to
the nonimportation of goods, as the manufacturers were beginning to
complain, they seemed to think the Miniilry would be obliged to repeal
them at the latter end of the fefiion.

January 28. ** It gives me great concern to acquaint you the Parliament

mifunderft&nding sow subsisting between us and America; and are deter*
mined to order over here fome of the mod aClive men at Bolton, to an Twer
a charge of a very dangerous tendency, and enforce the ads which
are so difagrecable to you, to the utmost; in confequencc of this, few or
no goods will be (hipped for North America, except to your province.”
Another letter from London, dated February 7, fays, “ The grand
committee was to have reported on American affairs last Friday, but
Wilke, had taken up so much of their time, the Houle fitting four nights
fucceflively till three in the morning, that they were obliged to poApone

A Wafpin6 Billitdoux.
, Fa Mr/, Sarah Smoktdrytd,
Dear Sail,
HOW long you intend fhetrint est, and treuding allyoar tenvajs to avt'd
an engagement, I don’t know; but the more inclined you seem to
rnnforit, the more desirous I And myfelf to chafe —but wheio, my dear
Sail, is the use of fading about so much, if you really mean at Jail to con,
to anion ; or what need can there be to car cy/alje colour, continually on tht
main top of your forehead, if you are determined, after all, to bless me
with a birth between the deck, o. your heart? Perhaps you want to know the
trim of my temper, before you enter under rnfethmand, and may be sears J
that my good nature it got builtJtntly enough, to endure a bard gale in the
Bay of Contradidion i I won’t brag much. Sail, I never could run a boot an
hour in the courje of my own praise, nor could I ever drop a fern, whan
juAice was due to th t Jbengtb of an enemy’s reputation. This, however
I may fay with truth, that it (hall be your own fault if you •ocegetadbwJ
at the gangway, ‘while wtfeut in the jbip of Matrimony together; and that
yon mud indeed blow a hurricane before a Angle band of my anger it piped
‘to fee you fit to rightt. * rr *
Th* Store, you have on board, I am regardlefs of j you (hall keep
them to bay frejhprovifion, lor yourfelt, in Case of Jbort allowance ; or to rig
you out gallantly, my girl, while we lie in the bar boar of mutual fatisfac
tion. I (ball be \e,y proud to fee your pendant, jireaming in the nicest fa.
(hion upon all occafiont; but Sail, I will alhw no unneceflary quantities
of Grog 1 it is a liquor that makes the underllanding reel damnably, and
tat, the plank, of the conllitution in such a manner, that all the fiteatbeng
in the world will never make it fit fotftryice. Prom this you may fee how
true a reckoning I intend to keep with you, if we (hould graptb before the Par.
son. . I would bail you with the fmooth/peak,ng trumpet oCHattery, if I was
a Pirate ; but being bent upon an bontfi cruiae, I lute to leave any thing
concealed in the hold of my intention ; you know now which way I (hall
fleer , so if you think fit to flrike, don’t wait for another broadjide of argu
ments, a, thepaWrrof ray patience is aluioA/see/, and as this will possibly
be the lad you ever receive, from
Matt. Mixta,
