PLANTATION GOEDE VERWAGTING, on the West-Side of this River, between Plantation Good Intent and Sisters, on the North, and Plantation Yonge Rachel on the South, being 100 roods façade. The grant is for 250 acres, but, owing to a bend in the river, it contains more than 300 acres; of which 90 acres are planted in Canes, about 90 acres in Coffee, in full bearing, and 40 acres lately planted in Plantains, also in full bearing; with 140 Negroes, a spacious Dwelling-House, Negro-Houses, and large Coffee-Loge, Droghery, and other conveniences.

Mr. HENERY,
SIR,
Having seen in your paper of Tuesday, among the Subscriptions to Capt. Peake, a gift of mine, to Charles Simson, I beg leave to inform you, as well as the Public, that said gift was a Good of Messrs. Simson, Grant, and Co. to a Mr. Turner - which Good I took in payment. I repeatedly presented the said Good for payment, but to my surprise, they told me at last, they would neither pay or discount it. I then, rather than put such a respectable House to any inconvenience, made them a present of said Good. - So much for Gifts!
I am, Sir, you obedient Servant,

Arrived this Morning - The Harmony, Woodall; Friendship, Glascott; Union, Roberts; and Henry Cerf, Roxburg.

The vessels thus announced, left Falmouth on the 24th ultimo, in company with nearly an hundred sail, and under the convoy of a Seventy-four and three Sloops of War. To how late a date, London Papers have been brought, we know not; but from one of the 18th of March, which we have been obligingly favoured with, the following extracts were made:
[Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed]

In the ensuing columns will be found, several articles of American Intelligence, which have been rather unexpectedly placed in our possession.

                  "Philadelphia, Jan. 9.
"Sir - I have this day received information of the discovery, in New-York, of a very extensive scene of forgery of British Licences. From the intelligence communicated to the Magistracy of this city, by the New-York Police, there is every reason to believe that many of the forgeries have been disposed of in Baltimore, to the southward of that city; it may be of importance to the commercial interests that this information be communicated as early as possible; and therefore I have taken the liberty of addressing this letter to you, as I cannot conveniently see the Major, in whose hands I have placed the papers.
                  "READ, Record of Philadelphia."

                  "New-York, Jan. 20.
"Admiral Warren, with two 74's, five frigates, and three smaller vessels, is closely blockading this port, and has detained several vessels, among others the schooner Syrene and ship Silenus of Charleston.

We have a rumour from the brig Caroline, that the United States frigate Constitution, Commodore Bainbridge, had captured the British frigate ®olus, Lord Townsend, and a brig laden with coffee, which was in company. - We do not credit the rumour.

General Armstrong received his appointment as Secretary at War, at New-York, on the 19th of January.

Admiral Warren says there is no prospect of peace between the United States and Great Britain.

A Bill has passed the Lower House of Congress for raising twenty regiments of regulars.

Mr. Randolph had spoken several hours in the House of Representatives, the purport of which was not known, as Congress was sitting with closed doors and had been for several days.

Mr. Gallatin to be Secretary of State. Gen. Smyth had written a lengthy apology to Congress, for his conduct while General of the Forces on the Frontiers, and General Porter had posted him as a coward."

                  "Washington, Feb. 24.
"A very violent Message has just been received from the President of the United States, enclosing and commenting on the Order in Council of October 26, and the accompanying instructions. He inveighs in harsh and reproachful terms against Great Britain; accuses her of attempting to divide and demoralise other nations; of attempting to prosecute trade bottomed on a mass of perjury and forgery; and winds up by recommending 'an effectual prohibition on any trade whatever, by citizens of inhabitants of the United States, under special licences, whether relating to persons or ports; and in aid thereof, a prohibition of all exportations from the United States in foreign bottoms; few of which are actually employed, while counterfeits of their flags and papers are covering and encouraging the navigation of the enemy."

                  "New-York, March 3, 1813.
It is humiliating to every true Patriot, that the Cabinet of Great Britain at such a moment as the present should have gained a greater victory over ours in their diplomatic papers, than in either of the unfortunate combats on land.
Yes, what man can without mortification compare the dignity, moderation, adherence to well-known facts, displayed in the Prince Regent's manifesto - with the message of the President, and the report of the House of Representatives, containing an apology for entering into this offensive war.
Shall we be obliged to shut our eyes, and bar the avenues to our understanding, merely to uphold under the false name of patriotism, a set of men who have plunged the nation against its decided sentiment, and against its dearest interests, into a war without fruit, without advantage, without even the chance of glory.
What can be said, for example, in justification of the part of the President's Message, which rips open and wounds, and stigmatizes the British Cabinet for the attack on the Chesapeake, instantly disavowed by the British Cabinet, and for which complete reparation had been both tendered and accepted.
What answer can we make to the objection of the Prince Regent, that if such a course is to be adopted, the disputes and discord between nations must be interminable?
Why not, with as much propriety, reproach Great Britain with the Stamp Act, and the Duty on Tea?
What again can we say, to the manifest partiality of selecting Great Britain for our enemy, when the French Decrees were not known to be repealed at the time of our declaration of war?
What to our submission for years to a series of Edicts and measures on the part of France, the least of which transcends in injustice all the causes of complaint against Great Britain, and for which we have not to this hour received even the promise of reparation?
What shall we say to the reply to the charge of having fomented the Henry Plot? Great Britain disavows it, and what colour of evidence was there of her privity? Did she not refuse him the reward he expected for doing nothing, and did she not, conscious of her own innocence, throw him into the hands of men who knew how to purchase of him a convenient and opportune electioneering trick?
What shall we reply to the proofs she brings of the falsehood of the charges of her having encouraged the Indians against us? Do we not all remember the application of Mr. Foster, and the information kindly and generously given to our Cabinet by Sir James Craig, of the unfriendly disposition of the Indians? How base then to charge Great Britain with fomenting disaffection, when she was the first to warn us to be on our guard!!
But above all, what can we say to the suggestion that our Cabinet have ungenerously availed themselves of the calamities of Spain, to wrest from her her Provinces?
If Great Britain had sought pretexts for war, these attacks on the Floridas would have been better than all the stale pretences which we now set up against Great Britain - but she wished for peace - her interests required it - her wisdom made her act in conformity to those interests. Our interests, our best interests - our honour - religion - the law of nations - justice - required also that we should maintain the relations of peace. But they have been needlessly disregarded. The bread and treasure of this nation have been wasted, and still continue to be wasted, in an unprofitable, unjust, and ruinous contest. The most important suggestion, however, in the Prince Regent's Manifesto - one which ought not to be blended with smaller, vulgar considerations - one before which all other appear trifling, is, the manifest inconsistency, folly, and madness, of our joining our forces to those of the tyrant of Europe, against a nation, free like ourselves, descending from common ancestors, professing the same religion, and considered the only bulwark for many years against the overwhelming tyranny of France. While the Roman Catholic and despotic countries of Spain and Portugal, preferring freedom to dishonour, have not hesitated to join their enemy, Great Britain, in order to check the great and common enemy of all States, France - whilst Russia, on the other extremity of Europe, forgetting her former hostility with Britain, has entered into a close union with her for the same noble purpose. We, the free soi-disant (self-styled) enlightened people of America, forgetful of our common origin, common religion, and common interests as free nations, have sought a quarrel with a nation which did every thing she could to appease us, which repaired all her wrongs as soon as we would permit her so to do; and have entered into a virtual union with the common enemy of mankind - with a power which has only added insolence to injustice, and whose only reparation for past wrongs is a declaration that he will commit no more, provided we will dutifully perform whatsoever he shall demand of us. There is one declaration in the Manifesto of the Prince Regent, that I presume will silence some Patriots of both parties, who have declared that the claim of Great Britain to take her own seamen was unjust, because she would never consent that our ships of war should search her merchant ships and take out our seamen. - We have contended over and over again, that she would admit our right so to do; and that even if our seamen should have been naturalised these twenty years, and Commodore Rodgers should take them out of a British ship, even when we were at peace, she would simply inquire into the fact; and if she found the persons taken to be Americans, she would not complain but approve the act. - We ground our opinion upon the high character of her judicial courts, and on the general sense of justice of the nation. It would, indeed, have been impudent in her to claim from us what she would not grant in return. - We know a case in point which we had from Commodore Preble personally: - When he blockaded Tripoli with only one ship, he captured a British ship bound in, and sent her to Malta. He shewed us his correspondence with Sir Alexander Ball, the British Commodore, on that subject, in which Sir Alexander approved the capture, and said he hoped our Commodore would take every ship which should attempt to enter. - Yet that port was not half so strictly blockaded as the coast from the Elbe to Brest during the blockade of May, 1806.
