Since the last session of the Legislature, the distresses ot the community have continued to increase ; and in consequence tf the general uneasiness excited by this unpropitious state of things, meetings have been held in various places to solicit your interposition Immediately on the termination of the Lite, war, a fata! biovv ras given to the liiinufacturin interest by the importation of vast quantities of foreign fabrics, neither ivjuirf.d iy our wants nor our comf"'ts.

markets for the products of agricul

ture hae been diminished lv a state

of general peace ; and the pernicious

multiplication of hanking institutions,

a id the inordinate d illusion of a paper

currency, have produced the most sc

tious calamities. In casts ol thisriefciiptit.n. government may alleviate, but can never remove the eils. 'Lite conservative power over the gen-

. b. Lhe Nigara, U.C Argus gives a

sickening picture of Riittn Hiringis

in England, in the extract below :

A place called the Lower Hamlets,

near London, which pays more taxes

by several thousand pounds than the county of Cornwall, sends no member

to the House of Commons : while the

said county sends 44 members.

Eighty Rotten Boroughs, whose e-

lectors do not exceeil one hundred

nersons each, gend one hunderd and

sixty members ; while Westminster

md London, the Queen of t'ommercc, the most opuient ci'y in the

world, and containing one million of

inhabitants, send onl 6 Representa

tives to the Commons ! 1

We surely need not be astonished

at the exei tions the people of Lowland ae making, to bring back the

great principles of the Revolution o

1689, and asset ting the wholesome

doctrine, that representation and tax

ation should go united m hand togeth ther.

A letter to a gentleman in this city

oaten n the Uaiizc, Dec. 7, states

u the U. S. Revenue Cutter Lauia

enpt I.onmi, had seized the British

ship Frucis and Eliza, of I ondou

wiui uti clearances, one irom .laua-

retta, and tLc last from Falmouth

Jam. The latter subjected hersei to seizure under the navigation ac of April. 189, which prohibits al

trade with British West India colo

nies, in English bottoms, or even

touching at or clearing out from them. She is a fine ship of 350 tons, and carries ten guns There is no doubt she will be condemned. She is one of the ships that left England with troops for the Patriots of South

America.' .ddvnrafe.

The Debate on the Missouri question has at length commenced in the Senate of the United States. The disc ussion has been In ought on incidentally to the bill for the admission of Maine into the Union, it having been proposed, by way of amendment, to incorporate in the same bill a pro vision for the ad mission of Missouri into the Union, divested of the condition by which it has been proposed to exclude Slavery from the state to be erected in that territory. This question absorbs so much attention, that, until it is definitively settled, it may almost be said, no other business will bs done in Congress. It was nell observed on this head yesterday, by Mr. ,lf'cotf, that the appearance of the Senate Chamber attested the importance oT the question actually depending. Never were the galiiries and lobbies more crowded. Lhe Debate w ill of course be reported ; and the publication of it will be commencd in this paper on Tuesday next. Xit. intfl!:gcncrr.
