Sir—The prohibitory laws and decrees of Colombia, against the importation of certain articles into this country appearing to be im perfectly understood, and some British mer chants having recently fallen into a miscon ception of the one relative to sugar, from its not being sufficiently explicit, I beg to transmit to you a list of the articles prohib ited, with the respective penalties attached to the violation of the laws, for the guidance of merchants embarking in the trade of Co lombia, and for the purpose of obviating the recurrence of a misunderstanding, out of which, under the most favorable circum stances, it is difficult for persons to disem barrass themselves, without considerable de lay and inconvenience.

PORTER & GEN. VIVES . A friend in the West India Squadron ha? favored the Editors of the National Intelh gencer with the following copies of a lettei addressed by Com. Poster to the Governor iofCuba, on the eve of his departure from that station, with the Governor’s Reply. The tone of this reply does not indicate any unfavorable impression on the mind of Gene ral Vives, produced by the affair of Faxar do, which must have been well known to at him the time of writing the reply : U. S. Steam Galliot Sea Gull, } Havana, January 20th, 1«25, $ Your Excellency : Expecting soon to re turn to the United States, and intending to retire from the command of the United States’ vessels on this station, I embrace this opportunity to offer to your Excellency, on the part of my Government, my sincere thanks for the many facilities and accommo dation, the good understanding, and co-ope ration, I have found, through your means among the authorities on every part of the coast ot Cuba, in effecting the suppression of Piracy, and in bringing to punishment those enemies of the human race, who have so loin* nfested those seas. Permit me, also, on my own part, to ex press to you the satisfaction I have enjoyeu - in acting in conjunction with the authorities - >1 Cuba, to effect this common object and to ■ iffer to your Excellency assurances of the . ugliest respect and consideration. i I have the honour to be, your Excellency’s very obedient servant, *1). PORTER, c so His Excellency Don Diunisio Vives, Capl. General of the Island of Cuba, fc. Havana, 22 d January, j I have been very much gratified by the reception of your favor of the 20th instant, thanking me, in the name of your Govern ment, tor the assistance, good understand ’ ing, and co-operation, that you have met ’ with on the part ot the local authorities of this Island, in giving aid to the suppression j. of Piracy, by means of my orders, and bring ing to condign punishment the enemies of | every civilized nation. (• As a principle which governs me, and, at j the same time, as a duty which I owe to the reiterated orders of my Government, which j are in strict accordance with the laws of 5 nature, and the rights of man, I have not ' ceased, nor will I cease, until I fulfil every , order on so important an object, as far as ' depends on my abilities. I regret, very sensibly, that you are a bout to retire from the command of the Uni ted States’ forces in these seas, not only from the able maimer in which you have dischar ged the important duties which have been .confided to you, but from the just considera tions with which you have always respected |the territorial rights of the Island of Cuba. Permit me Sir, to offer you my acknowledg ements, and to avail myself of this occasion I to confirm the assurances of my high conside ration and esteem. God preserve you many 1 years. D. VIVES. ' To Coin. David Porter. I Milledgeville, March 1, 1825. 1 Intelligence has been received in regard • to Mr. White, the Engineer whose servi p ccs have been engaged by Governor Troup, • from which we are warranted in saying that ■ he is now on his way to this State and will ' arrive in a very short time. When he enters on the discharge of the duties of his office, we understand his labors will be directed to making surveys of the country, and estimates of the expense that f will attend the execution of works that may > be deemed worthy of the attention of the . state. These will be laid before the Legis . lature at its session in November next. — - The misapprehensions that are prevalent i among the peonle in relation to this business , must therefore be corrected. If they calcu . late that in a few months after the arrival of { the Engineer, roads and canals will be laid B out, and their construction commenced, they . will be greatly disappointed. The Legisla e ture has made as yet, no provision for these f last mentioned results. Indeed such pro . vision, at present, would be wholly useless. . The first point to be gained, is to ascertain . what shall be done, and as this is a very es sential part of the matter, much time must of necessity be spent, before any subsequent arrangements can be made with a due regard to economy, and a reasonable assurance of success. 1 5 New species of Potaloe. —We have been f favoured with the sight of some potatoes of a new kind, which, according to all appear '> ancc, from their extraordinary prolific na -3 ture and excellent quality, promise to be- S come of mucli importance to the farmer and horticulturist. They are of a long shape, f have a smooth ski* and bear a greater num ber of eyes than any other potatoe we have ? seen ; but their great peculiarity, is their • fecundity, and their growing together in Y clusters, as from the centre of a circle, ' which will be learned from that intelligent e farmer, Mr. John Philips, of Childwall.”— e The paper from which this is copied, goes only (o say, that these potatoes were pre- sented to Mr. Philips by Mr. Shepard at r the Liverpool Botanic Garden. They were y planted in a small space of ground, on the '• 3d of April, 1824 ; the crop was taken out and the produce was 514 potatoes, which ' weighed 103 pounds. Many of them grew in clusters of six and seven, and the largest . of them measured 7 1-2 or eight inches in circumference. This potatoe is of the kidney kind, thin skirted, and remarkably good, either roast ■s ed or boiled, and serviceable, either for the i table or for cattle. The account further t says, that this new came from Can t ada ; lam inclined to suspect that there n may be a mistake here ; for if it came from ’• Canada, it is natural, one would think, that y the farmers on (his side of the St. Law ■- rence river would have heard of it, and '- have tried its qualities. He that as it may, 0 in your extensive correspondence, you can obtain certain information of this new root, either from Canada or Liverpool, and make | it known in your very useful publication.
