“Since my lift several rich car
goes have arrived principally from
Baltimore; 3 have g. re to Naples -
to encounter the Lnghfh without,
and a precarious reception within,
one a brig from Baltimore with a
cargo of colonial produce worth
ico,cco dollars has landed her car
go ht re to wait a change, as everv
port in the Adriatic and Levant is ,
over flocked. What could have 1
induced our merchants to have sent
hu h avast property Imre I cannot j
conceive, tluy muff have been at a !
lols what to do with it, or led a- 1
way by Jackfcn’s fine account of
the resources and trade of the Bar
bary ports. They are totally igno
rant of the rigour with which the
French decrees are enforced, it they
hoped to find a market in France
where colonial produce even coin
ing from Gaudalcupe (unlds in a
French bottom,) and having the
best certificates of origin would be
confifcated for having touched at a
! neutral port, even should the vffil
not have been hoards bv the Bi
tifh. In Laly foroe cargoes have
been introduced, but under circum
ftanccs of great risk
The prices there have fallen, and
are falling so as to render that un
dertaking tco hazardous fi r the
prolptd of gain. In ftiorf 1 know
not which way to turn, and would
moll willingly give up all my time,
and all 1 had the hope ot making to
get out of this internal hole, Some
of our countrymen had an idea that
the flag of the regencies c- utel be
uted to advantage, but this is inex
pedient in evtry refped, you are
neither fafe on lea or land. The
only one who has tried it is Mr. F.

No confidence car. be had in the
Moors, who muff become your a-

clerk, a chriftian, by the name of
Ancirc Poge, was alfo’teized and
ccndtmntd to receive 1000 haftin
adoes, 300 of which were inflicted
yesterday, when the unfortunate
n.an was too far txhauftid to sup
port more, the execotion was cf

for life, unless he can pay ico,cco !
