Extra <sl of a letter from a gentleman at Momcgo-TJav, to his. 1
f. iendin this city, received bythelaft lli p from Jamaica.
“ Were Ito give you a detail of our dit* relics in ton- ™
sequence of our trade with America being Hopped, it would 1
take too long time for the prefeu: opportunity—Cod kuown
Vvhat will become of this iiland—many negroes 0.1 vhe diffc*
rent curates liarviug— Scarce a barrel of flour to be had—
aud then at the exorbitant price of fifteen dollars. The
merchants of this country in that trade daily enrich them
le.ves ; and many even take advantage of the times. The
planters as well as owners of negroes with property unani
moully curie the firft perpetrators of that aft which deprive*
this country of the trade to the United States. J molt heartily
Willi to he with you. I hope it will not be long.” * •

The Comminiouers appointed to treat with the Creek In-*

the mouth of Shoulder bone creek.
We hear a number of the Indians arc come down to trc2t:

bo rapid is the population of the commonwealth of Penn-*
fylvania, that, by returns laid before the Alfembly, it ap
pears, that in tiie period of seven years, their taxable pcrfiM*

A letter from Frankland, of July 24., fays, « You no doubt
have heard of the various provocations givqn by tij.at part of
the Cherokee Indians that live at Chiokamogga, in murdering,
at different times, in the /Kentucky and Cumberland Settle

often been warned, that the firft blood died would be taken as
a declaration for hoftikttes. it apparently has that effect; for
all seem inllantaneoudy to !:c inlpiicd. with an hofiile mind,
