The colony of Botany-Buy Is »|vaa«Jng
gradually into a great mart for both British
and East- India produee. It is expected that
the colonists of that settlement may be short-
ly able to furnish from hides and wool, hemp
and flax, their share in the southern whale
fishery, and from the part they may take in
the; fur trade between India and the north-
west coast of America, exports sufficient to
repay for all the imports which the progress
of the colony demands.
There were imported into the port of Lon
don last week, from Canada, the following
skins, viz :------106,000 beavers,-125,000 ra-
coons, 54,000 marten, 12,000 otter, i6,000
wolf, 2,300 cat. 1,000 bear, i5,000 minx,
10,000 fox, 2,300. wolverine, 15,500 mus-
quash, 26",00O .Jeer, 100 elk, and 600 lbs.
¦weight of castor.
The trade for furs to the north west coast
of America, is entirely, or almost entirely,
in the hands of the citizens of the U. States.
India and China, are the places of sale for
the furs, and it proves a lucrative branch of
commerce. It is thought this trade might be
shared by the British subjects. Out" Canada
fur trade is profitable, as also that of the
Hudson's lkiy company.
In the island of Cuba there is neither
grown wheat, olives nor vines. Every arti-
cle of cloathing is brought from Europe,
there not being a single manufactory of any
kind in it. In 1792, there were exported to
Spain 30.000 cwt. of tobacco, besides that
consumed in the country, and in America.
The export of wax that year amounted to
50-000 cwt. Bees have only been introdu-
ced into Cuba since the year 1764. After
the peace of Versailles, when Florida was oe-
ded to the English, some families came over
from St. Augustine, and brought some hives
¦with them, and in a short time they increas-
ed so much that the sugar plantations became
endangered.
Tlune were forty sail of American ships
in China last year, who took from thence
to America, 8"to iO 000 tons of tea, a great
part of which found its way to Europe.~
Canton is fall of America!) adventurers, ma-
ny of whom retire with large fortunes in a
few years ; there are at least a dozen who
have been residents for a year or two and
have already realised a considerable sum.
• There are six hundred sugar-mills in the
Island of Cuba; from these, including what
is consumed in the country, more than five
hundred thousand cwt. of sugar was expert
ed to Europv. In this Island there is not
one navigable river, only small rivulets and
streams ; there are 148 lakes, which con-
tain fish ; there is abundance of turtle on
the coa t.—London paper,

" We are sorry to inform you that the

" On the 24th of April she was recaptur-

Plymouth— measures have been taken to get
the Zulems released, as soon as the forms of
the court will permit.
" It is not yet ascertained whether Amer-
ican property pays salvage or not—but bond
must be given to abide the decision of the
court."

" Our market, generally speaking, is not
brisk, and we wait, at least purchasers for
West-India produce, what will have been

the treaty made with England. We have
experienced since the last ten days, severe
frows that have destroyed from halt tothree
fourths of the vineyard;;—thus »ve cannot
make but in this proportion of a common

FRIDAY, JUNE 26.
rrJ-We issue the Gazette at an unusually
earlv hour this evening, in order to meet the
anxiety of our patrons, relative to the out-
rage committed by the Leopard.
Worse than Whitby.
For the fallowing unpleasant information,
•we are. indebted to the attention of our
Correspondent at Washington City : 1
" I hasen to inform, that capt. Gordon, j
of the frigate Chesapeake, (with Dr. rlullvr)
who has just arrived here from Norfolk, I
with the intelligence, that a few days since,
as the frigate was passing out to sea, dis-
tant not far from Hampton Roads, on her
way to the Mediterranean, she was tired
upon by the British ship of war Leopard,
of fifty guns—an action ensued in which
the Chesapeake had 3 men killed and 33
wounded ; among the latter (slightly) is
commodore B. The Chesapeake, it is said,
was taken unawares, and not being in a
situation to make resistance, fired only a
few guns. She has returned to Norfolk a
perfect wreck. As no provocation was giv-
en, this wanton and outrageous act can only
be supposed to have arisen from the circum-
stances related in the following statement:
" Sometime since, a recruiting officer at
Norfolk, enlisted three seamen for the Che-
sapeake ; who were claimed, as deserters,
by the British captain. A representation
was made by Mr. lirskine, British minister
to our government. An inquiry was order-
ed, on which it appeared they were all A-
merican citizens, who had been pressed into
the British service-of course they were not
given up. The British captain saw commo-
dore Barron at Norfolk, and demanded the
men. The commodore answered that he
knew of no such men—that " all his men
•were under the American flag, and •would
n t he surrendered to any power •whatever.'"
Nothing further passed on the subject, until
this wanton, unmanly and insulting attack.'
We have been politely favored with the
following corroboration. It is an extract
of a letter from an officer at the seat of go-
vernment, to a respectable friend in this ci-
ty, dated June 25, 1807.
"I have a moment previous to the .clo-
sing of the mail to inform you, that the
Chesapeake frigate, of 3S gun,-: has return-
ed to Hampton Roads in a very shattered
condition, having lost three men killed and
twenty-two woundc-d (sevpral mortally) the
commodore slightly. The frigate fell in
with the British ship Leopard of 50 guns, a
few days after leaving the Capes of Virgi-
nia. The British captain demanded 3 sea-
men, who were said to be on board the Che-
sapeake, alledging that they belonged to
the British navy. Commodore Barron re-
fused ; immediately the Leopard opened
her ports, and did not cease tiring until the
Chesapeake, unable longer to sustain it,
struck her colors. The first lieutenant of the
Chesapeake, arrived in town a few hours
since, from whom, it is said, this informa-
tion is derived."
A gentleman lately from Halifax, informs
us, that accounts of the acquittal of Capt.
Whitby, had been received there, adding
tlret he had subsequently been appointed to
the command of a 74, and was to be sta-
tioned on the American Coast !- -From the
manner in which it has been communicated
to us, we are disposed to consider it a fact.
Phila. Gaz.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated
May 15, i807.
" Owing to the election mentioned in our
letter of the 2d inst. little business has been
done since that date, There has however
been a fair demand for good cotton, about
3000 bales having been sold, the best lots of
the late importations of Upland 16 l-2d. a
17rr. New Oileans, 19rf. a 20,/. and fair Sea
Islands in limited quantities at Qs. 3d. a 2s.
3 1 2d.
The late arrivals of American Flour have
been considerable, and now large supplies of
both whettt and Hour are expected in the
course of the present month from the United
States: in consequence of this, and as the
markets in the interior are still kept suppli-
ed with English at former prices.it is im-
practicable to effect sales here at the prices
which were obtainable last month ; the Lon-
don market has likewise given way. The
holders now ask for
Philadelphia Superfine Flour, 43s.
New-York ditto, 42s.
Virginia and Baltimore ditto, 40s. a 4is.
Wheat, lis. 3d. a ns. 6l.
But it is the general opinion that no sales
of consequence can be effected, unless the
holders will accept of from 1 to 2s. per bbl.
less than those prices. The sale of Rice is
¦become heavy, but prices remain nominally
the same."
