AXOTALR LITTLE ANGULATION. Fiom tile New. York (- Ue, ot Nov. 8. Extract of a letter tiom a gentleman in Si. Bai tholmiews, to hia tunU in this tity, dated October 20, 1811. " Uy the frhconrr liichmond,- arrived this morning from yoni poit in ten-days, your feveral favors of HI, 4ih fct lOthinfi. have been duly received ; the tatter contai ning an' account of the vaiirus feizurca made by your cdfiom houfe of vriTels and carg es'that have arrivtd from this ilUi.d. 1he receipt of this intelligence has completely paliied the thipments of v-arious pro.duie, and none other, than thofe already picdic .ted will be luaarded to your, place. To add to this unpleafant information, a; new order in council, it is reported has rea ched the c olonies, refpecling this ifl and ; in confirmation of whit h, two of his mjfiy's rruiz.-rs appeared off this place, and took iVatiou on tlie Jfi infi.and detained on that and thr.tww fucceeding days, 12 velTels laden with produce and fent them all down to Tnrtola. An American fchooner that had ttken a few bai rels of Ingar on hoard is of the number detained, und will undoubtedly be condemned for a breach of the navigation aft, which docs not permit the expoit of fugar, coffer , cotton or cocoa, in any' other than Butilh bottom.Joss of Gun Boat iW 2; . The United States Gun Boat Np. 2r (fchr. nggtd) under the command ot mr. Lippincott, ot the navy, failed from Charlef ton the 9th Sept. bound to St. Mary's. On Friday morning 4th Oft. they made Cumberland ifland, but being unable to procure a pilot, thry at night fiood off, weather

E. the vdTel was hove to under a tray fail, with her head to the raft ward about 1 1 a. m. tlie 'gale increafing took in the tray fa!e, and in about 5 minutes af tera heavy lea broke on beard which hove the host on her beam end they immediately attempted to cut aw-y the mafi, but that part of the crew which was below, in their alarm forced open the hatches, which had been fecured early in'the gale, nd the Gun boat inilantly filled r.nd went down. Several of the crew attempted to fave themfelves from inft-snt death by clinging to the floating fweeps, fpars, ic. but only one of th number .eft aped to tell the mournful tj!e ; all the reft, after firuggling awhile witli the waves, fharcd the fate of thofe who went down with the veflVl.

I N D I AN MOVE ME N T S. From general CI irk, we have the following . particulars. A few days jjho, a Putawatamie Indian by the name of White H or, p.fl d through ti.e.Putaw atamies of the Illinois river, with i belt of wampum from the Prophet, and has proceeded to the Socks, apd is to pro eed to the Sioux nation. The fpeech is as follows : Brothers, you promiled me lafi year tbt you would be ready in the fpring, the fpring c.mr, but no perfon was read), che fdll is come, 1 look towards the felting !u t, i'Ut (, not difeover vou coming you n.ive n" bf-en true ! yet 1 hope you will nr:t f-il to be ready, mxt fpring.' Information h'-s been received by fome Indians, that Miupo a principal chirf of tii'- Fur.- waiami'-s on the Illinois river, has be n killed on the river Haifon, y a de t ich'-nrwt fom D-troit. Mainpoc was c or.Cjered the greatcfi fcoundrel of his nalion Sherurneber's band rf Putawatamies, compolfd of the very word Indians ot that nation, will make th-ir f dl bunt on the loaerpirtof the Illinois river, and are go ing to winter at a plce c -lied the Grand Pl5, about Hxtv miUs up that river, and about thiry or forty miles overland to the fettlements. This band h-s lately been very inf-dent to the w hitr prople refiding at the Peaorhr's ; in puffing by that place, they killed .ibout 20 head of horned cattle and a great number of bogs. The Indians who myrdered the man on Sh-M creek, arc fiill in the nciiborhocd of ih: PcUQrius.

BUTTISH AMERICA; COMMERCE OF CANADA. The popuUtion of Canada, in 1760,wai reckoned at lixty two tlioufand fouls, whdlt her exports nt vcr exceeded two million of livrcs tournoife (about ninety thiufrd pound.) The imports muli have greatly exceeded the exports ; but not even a conjecture ot the ciitfercntc tan be formed. The prefent population Aof the ( anadas may be rated at thre hunutcd and twenty fix thoufind fouls; but gieat as this aumention may appew, c muicice' will he found to have greatly furprHTed the propprtional jatio of the population. , Fiom feventetn hundred ai d nxty three to feyenteen hundred and ninety three, the exports may have varied from on hundred and twenty thoufand pourds, to three bundred thoufand pounds, chiefly rf wheat, furs and peltry. But during the lafi eitdi teen yeais, they have increafed to the fur priting fum of one million two hundred and twenty thoufand nine --hundred and lixty 'thre pounds ten fhillings, we (hall prefrntly perceive by the following; efi'.mates, which cannot betmuc b over or under the ti u'h : Furs and ftins, 150,000 0

It is impoffible to afcertain the value of goods not dutiable, but we may faftly conclude, that the total of imports will be one mijlion fierling ; leaving a balance in favor of thefe provinces, which but a few years ago vould have apnea red in credible. This property is rarrird by 661 veiTels, wbrfe tonnage cf 143,193, naviga ted by 6758 legmen.

Our commerce hfcs become confiderable with the United States. A few years ago our imports from thence greatly exceeded our exports. But finer refpe enable mid intelligent American merchants have bfgarv to fettle among us, I believe the fcale is turned in our favor ; and thus Britifli induftry is commenting to run in a channel never before much thought of.
