Copy of a letter from an American
citizen , now in Halifax . AlWs. to a
gentleman tn Ato any*
kiAulc 'AX,- May l, 1814.
Dear Sir-—since i addressed you
fast, we have had great alterations
here in commercial a hairs, in con
sequence ot tne peace between Spain
ana i ranee, all Kinds of West iuflia
goods have taken a rise of at least 33
percent, and several vessels have left

in one week 8 to 15 dollars ;
several of those vessels were, to be
loaded for jthe U. States, some
of thejn had begun to load with Eng
lish manufactures and W. India pro
duce? but had ip unload ,in ponse
(juencepf the governor’s having or
dered the collector to clear.no vessels
[cartels eicepted] to any port ii\the
U.. States,. Tliis was considered 6y
the merchants ~as .an unauthorised
&ct, and a meeti ng of those • took
place, who, waited on his i'.elljitcy
to receive bis reasons: he informed
them he that day .received informa
tion, from that admiral
Cochrane was to declare the whole
of the ports of the U. States in a state
of blockade? and that an additional
naval force was oh its way from Eng*
landvlo better enable the admiral to
accomplish this important object
The governor added that his reasons ,
for this step were two fold ; the fust
-was, that from the late accounts of
his majesty's ministers, ‘[by the
March uiail] he had not the least <tea*
son to hope, that any peq.ce would rc
suit front the negocidtion at Gottenbu'-g;
and the second was* that the naval
and hulltary commanders had orders
to prbsecute the war with the utmost
rigor? and had full -assurance, that a
sufficient force to accomplish every
object in view? should be sent next
summer. _
. “Oh thfe gentleman [who waited
upon him] asking, if there was cause
to believe, that the armistice, talked
so loildiy of in the American papers
■should iafte place, trie governor smi
led, and said, that there was no offi er
‘fp,the country vested with any poWer
to treat with the government of the
U. States on any such subject'; th it
proposals of tins kind, on the” pare of
his majesty? had been treated with
Indignity by the President of the 0.
States already; and the next propo
sal ofthat kind must c,bme from him ;
which, lie thought would at this tune
