Captain Gardiner, who ar rived at this port ydlerday from Peterfburgh, which place he left on the 16th September, informs us, that on the 1 ith it was rumoured, that the emper or Alexander was taken fudden ly and dangeroufly ill, fuppofed to be occasioned by a ftroke of Ruffian apoplexy, —the fame dif ordcr which carried off the late emperor Paul. Extract cf a Utter from London , dated October 2. “ The article of cotton muff doubtlefs advance now. Rice will not 6nly fall on account of (iquantity juft arrived from In dia, of the Pinna rice, vvhich is very good, and more daily ex pelled j but alfo on account of the peace. Tobacco cannot be much lower than at prefent. In digo may for feme time conti nue to fell well. Cochineal will, wc fear, as foon as icoo orioco ferons arrive in Europe, go be low, 17s. Sugar and coffee may be very languid for fome months; but we cannot think they will go much lower. Dycwoods will only anfwer as tonnage. Freights will greatly lower, and fo will Infurances, particularly your crofs Weff-India rifks, and like wife voyages to and from the Spanifh colonics. The convoy duty, upon all articles, ceafcs from this day, and of courfe w ill reduce the charges, particularly on Cochineal, which was fubjecl fo rod. per lb. convoy duty. Rice has this day fallen from 325. to 235.” CHARLESTON, Dec. 3. Captain Smith informs, that before he left Gibraltar, difpatch os had been received there, by one of the captains of the Tri polital cruifers, which v/ere blocked there by the American ftjuadron, from the Bey of Tri poli, directing his admiral to of icr forms of peace to commodore As the admiral was not ffiere, captain Smith did not (earn whether commodore Dale bad been applied to by the contain, but it was generally fuppoffd the Bey w ; as Tick of warfare, and w r as willing to accommodate things on almoff ar 7 terms. December 10. We feel no fmall degree of Gtisfaffion inaffuring the public, the. mail difpatched for the northward the cd irft. art! fup pofed to be robbed, is found without any lols, and forwarded by the poffmafter; the inten tion of the villains who took it Irom the pod-rider, is not eafi ly fathomed. It was cut open, thoroughly fearchcd, left in the woods within four miles of town and nothing taken from it, ex cept a fmall ofnaburgh bag ufed for the Pcterlburgh, (V.) let ters. The poff-maffer, who is very correct in all his ffatements, has declared to the public, upon the drifted examination, nothing is taken from it, except as above mentioned. 1 his accident brings to our recollection the ffiameful conduCt which has been tolerat ed m the poll-office department, throughout the United States. A poll-matter in Maryland lias more than once lent the north ward mail ro the fourhward* and the fouthward mail to the north ward. In Virginia it has been common to burn, publicly in the Hreets, large packages of repub lican newspapers; and every merchant of Charleffon can bear teftimony to the frequent fai lures which occur in Carolina. Indeed, w'ere we to publiffi the many complaints made to us refpefting failures of polls, we ffiould foon exhauft the patience of our readers. It is but j office to curfelves to affure thofe gentlemen, who re ceive their packages from the pod-office at King’s-Tree, that they are enclofed in ffrong pa per, bought for the exprefspur pofe, and punftually lodged in the pod-office. Nor have we the imallcd fufpicion, that the fault originates at the Charledon office ; we have fufffeient rea fon to believe to the contrary. There are but two pod-offices between this and King’s Tree, our friends therefore, now know, where the fault lies. The dally complaint through the United States, mauger the im menfe profit the pod-office (Ha blifhment yields to the coffers of the general government, call loudly for prompt and deciffve redrefs—lt is not for us to point out where the fault begins, but to date that it exids. On Thurfday lad, the legiffa ture proceeded to the choice of a fenator of the United States, in the room of Charles Pinck ney, Efq. appointed minder to the Court of Madrid ; when, on cadlng up the ballots, i: appear ed there were, For General Sumter, 90 votes.

Dec. 1. ExtraEl of a letter from, a gentle man in Char left on> to his friend in the country, “ I lend you a pamphlet,jud in circulation here, which is ge nerally afcnbtrd to the great Alexander Hamilton, rfWew \ oik, and bears |-rorrincntly his {lamp. It is needlels for me to make many comments on it—ir {peaks tor itfelf; but I cannot avoid fg ing, that I deem it the moll wicked and inflammatory piece that has ever been printed —it is withal the moll fallacious, becaufc built in its reafonings (if its conditions may be Vo called) on wrong premifes.
