" I have very little new- to send you. for
trade here is very dull. The slave trade is
to be abolished. By an act of parliament,
ju •' now passed the house of lords, no vessel
can clear out after the SOth of April next ;
and it limits the sale in the West-Indies to
the 1st of January, 1808 ; so that it will be
a very severe check upon the trade in gene-
ral here."

Extract of a letter from the American Con-
sul, dated, St. Jago, March 6, 1807.
" Enclosed you will find a correct list of
the .Americans taken in Miranda's expedi-
tion—their names, places of resilience and
friends, together with sentences.* This list
hr.s this day been famished to me by cap'.
Peleg Barker, late canuiiaiicler of the ship
Grampus of New York, seized and condemn-
ed in Conception, and who arrived here a
few days since from Carthagena ; the situa-
tion of those in Carthagena he represents to
be truly deplorable. .
" It may perhaps be a consolation to their
friends, to hear of those who yet remain in
existence, tho' a miserable cue indeed. I
do not understand they are treated with o-
ther severity, than what their sentence de-
mands, and a p.irt of their misery arises as I
jfonCeive rnortt -from the want of a toiling
r.im of money tft alleviate their neepseitisS
than from any" wanton acts of cruelty in the
Spanish government.
" The schr. Seaflower, of New York, has
this instant been announced as being at the
Moro, a prize to a French felucca privateer-
Nothing further new, but the loss of tire
brig Ceres, of your port, from hence to Phi-
ladelphia, part of the cargo and ail specie sa-
ved; taken possession of by the British, and
together with the capt, (Lewis) at Jamaica,
libelled for want of proof of property. This
vessel I understand was lost on the Cacois."
* This list will be given complete in our
next.
Loss of the schr. Peggy, Dimock, of Wca-
thersiicld.
The Peggy sailed from Barbados the 9th,
January, bound to the Carolinas. After
beating on that coast for a number of days,
and encountering many severe and rough
gales of wind on the 2d Feb. being in fifteen
fathoms water, off Charleston light-house,
was again drove oif, when he bore away for
New London. After encountering many se-
vere gales, got soundings Feb. 14, in lat,
38, 40, long. 74. On the 15th, being wil'.i-
in six leagues of Sandy-Hook light, a tre-
mendous gale came on from the WNW.
which drove us two hundred miles to the
eastward. On the 19th, heavy gales from
the southward. On the 20th, got soun-
dings sixteen fathoms off Montaug point,
wind WNW". blowing heavy, a bad sea, with
hail and snow—the Peggy carrying a press
of sail to gain her post, her sheathing started,
from her starboard bow, when her leak en-
crcased to400 strokes an hour. On the 21st,
ripped up her ceiling on the starboard bow ;
found one of the butts started --the leak en-
creasing as the sheating came off. Used
every exertion in vain to stop the leak.
On the 22d 23 and 24th heavy gales.--
On the 2,5th, moderate ; thrapt her with
hawsers to confine her sheathing) but all in
vain. , t 2, P. M. fell in with and spoke
schr. Edwarl Preble, Sutnerland, from bos-
ton to Jamaica, who offered me every as-
sistance in his power ; but our situation was
such that we were compelled to abandon our
vesseL We saved some provision and clo-
thing, a mainsail and sqnaresa.il, some rig-
ging and blocks, and left her at 4 o'clock, in
consequence of the increasinggals. At half
pastfl, the Peggy went down. On the 8th
March, in lat. 26, long. 03, spoke brig Hetty,
Love, from St. Thomas, tor Liverpool. On
the 9th, was boarded by the Milan British
frigate, examined closely, and treated polite-
ly. On the 13th, spoke the brig Mayflow-
er, Lufkin, from Surinam for Newburyport,
who, with much satisfaction, received us on
b wd. And I now take this method of re-
turning ray sincere k hearty thanks to capt.
Sutherland, of the Edward Preble, to Mr.
George Newman, a passenger, and to capt.
Lufkin, of the Mayflower, for their kindness
and respect, and for the assistance rendered
to me and my people. JOSEPH DIMOCK..
LIVERPOOL, February 26.

Willi, r: Day, of the American shift Bris-
toi ,r , bound from this fiort to Phila-
n. kia, captured by a Spanish privateer,
and .recaptured by the Nile cutter, and
sent into Falmouth, dated lDt/'i instant.
" Eigur days sfter 1 left your port, in lat.

to fall in with a Spanish privateer of 18 guus
and 120 men, who fired a gun and brought

TO THE PUBLIC.
Controversies between individuals ara1
certainly of no importance to the community
at large ; but it is surely of some consequence
to the public that the improper artifices of any
man should be Exposed. From a consideration
of this kind, as wellas from motives of psr«
sonal reputation and individual ntereat, I tee!
myself obliged to reply to the scun-il -,is invec-
tive and pompous and pert insolence of An-
drew Hania, the bookseller, which appeared
in the " A-merican and Commercial Daly Ad-
vertiser" of yesterday.
In the first place, I wi'l introdsce the ren*'
(ler to an acquaintance with the facts in tha
case.
Some months back I undertook to collect,1
arrange and prepare for pr-;ss, the names of?
citizens, streets, &c. for the purpose of pub-
lishing u Baltimore Directory, and.War.ner &»
Hanns agreed to print it for me. The whole
ol the responsi ility rested oc n.e.
Acc>;' i.Vlv' I per irnied villi punctuality
and us nvuctf \1spatcl1 as possible tlr- task
assigned—the Directory was pi:bi.shed—when,
the said Hanna had the unblushing' aux.lapi.ty
to tell me, that as soon as lie had sold copies*
sufficient to pay for printing, he would allow ,
me to par, ale of the profits I It is, easy to per-
ceive that I could have proem ed any other
printer in the city to have performed the work:
tor me at a moderate price, without requiring'
any part of the profits—but- this kind-hearted,
genti riiai, (who quotes one of lord Kaimes?3
observations with respect to benefits very learn-
edly, from a little five-penny ttook which ha
keeps for sale) would fain enjoy all the profits
to be.derived from the sale of the work !
Perceiving his attempt U wjtotig u»e, I pro-
cured triends. and made him « te, der, ^.legaL
tender, in specie, oi'the lull amoun, it the bill
for printing—nay, Levenoliered him fifty dol-
lars over and above what he w.is entitled to ;
when, to cap the climax of las peiiu-ijus base*
nes... he refused to take the money, a'to deli-
ver the books until I should have paid him a.
book sccoimt, which he avers I ewe him.
This book account, be it understood, originat-
ed in this way—Iliad, in orderto oblige *ai>l
Hanna, and to make something for myself,
procured several subscribers to the Lite of
Bonaparte : this work when published, '. JelU
vered to the subscribers, and have paid Han-
na more than I have received as yet, on ac-
count of them—1 owe a balance on these—I
have, perhaps, had a little paper and a few
quills, from his shop ; and, to the immortal
honor of said Hanna, and his" benefits," be it
known, that once, yes o«ce .' he had the noils
generosity to lend me o*ie dollar .'—I owe the
firm, fro 111 the above circumstances perhaps
abo.it Lwenly-six dollars, not more.
By delivering mctlie books be would have
enabled me. at once to have pais him this trifle =
—But no ! He thought he could impose oi»
me and compel me to take about 50 dollars for
above five months arduous labor. The bili
which 1 offered to pay him is not, in many
respects, a just one —He purchased the pa-
per fur 2 dollars 50 cents, and charged me 3J
dollars for it—the outside quires which ill fair-
ness he ought to have given up to me (as every
other printer in the city I believe wovjld) lies
-has nut accounted for—aim after charging mes
full price for every thing, he added an item of
50 dollars ! And for what ! He said lor Una

testimony.
