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

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.

COLUMBIA, (s. c.) 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.
I his j)icce Ihould be generally
read, that Federaliftn may be
completely unmalked.”
