Circular to the Collectors, Treasury Department, March 7th, 1827. Sir I send, herewith, a copy of the

President's proclamation, dated this day :

by the effect of which, you will perceive,

that the trade between the United Slates

and certain colonial ports of Great Brit

ain, as opened by the act of congress, on

the first of March, 1823 entitled "An act to regulate the commercial intercourse between the United States and certain British colonial ports," is closed ; and that the provisions of the act of April the eighteenth, 1818, entitled "An act concerning Navigation," and those of the act of May the Fifteenth 1820, entitled An act, supplementary to an act, entitled 1 An act concerning Navigation,' ate in force. These several acts have heretofore been transmitted o you, at petiods when their provisions were in opeiation, but copies of them are again enclosed fur your information and government. As British vessels fiom some of the colonial ports specified in tiie first section of the act of the fust ol March, 1823, may now be within the United States, and consequently, must have arrived atitct ior to the date of the proclamation, the President directs, that all such British vessels be allowed to depart Irom our ports with their cargoes. As others may arrive between the date of the proclamation,

and the time of its reaching you, he also directs, that, as to these, the forfeitures and penalties of the aforesaid acrs of Aptil 18th, 1318, and May 1820, be not enforced : but that they too, be permitted to depart. And if, after you shall have received the proclamation, Biitish vessels should arrive within the ports ot the United States from some one or more of the said Btitisji colonial ports, in ignorance oi the existing prohibition, which the laws impose to their entry, the President farther directs, that, in the case of all British vessels so arriving, prior to the first day of July next, you cauve notice to be given to them, as soon as possible ol the prohibition, accompanied by orders for their departure within twenty-lour hours, without unlading ; upon their !:uluie to comply with which order.-, ym will proceed to enforce against them the pun iiions of tlte-ar.ts L.sl recited. In case of all British vessels arriving whhm our potts, !!o:n.:y o! the : foresaid British colonial ports, alter the iiii of July, you will, fotthwith, e.iforce againsl them the provisions of those acts.

And whereas, by an act of the Biitish Parliament which passed on the filth day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1825, entitled 14 An act to repeal the several laws

The Quebec Gazette of the 8th March gives the following account of the ditliculiies which led to the recent prorogucing of the Parliament ol Canada. There are claims set up by the Mother Country and the colonial Executive to the disposal, without the vote or conttol of the Assembly of the province, of the monies levied under the 14th of the late King, now amounting annually to upwards of 30,0001, that is about one-third of our revenues. Besides this, a very large amount of the revenues has been considered by the colonial government as already appropriated bv the acts raising them. The supply asked lor from the Assembly in consequence, was this year reduced from r'i.CwOl. to about I ,C0Ol. or 20.0001 the monies " not otherwise pHuiueci lot" ar it was stated.

REMARKS,

thwatt his purposes There is one scenes

ol Lis lile w hich his enemies studiously a nceal It is the court scene in NewOilcans, where Judge Hall imposed a fine of one theusand dollais for contempt. To save the city, he had found it necessaty to resort to martial law. Although t umors of peace had reached him, he knew not but they were put forth by the enemy, for the purpose of lulling him to sccuiity; for though dreadfully defeati d, they were itill hoveling on the coast with a force much stronger than his. Ho deemed it necessary to maintain all hia precautions until those rumors were confumcc! by the most authentic intelligence. He had ancstcd a Frenchman for a violation of martial law, and Judge Hall of the United States court, issued a writ of abca Corpus and attempted to rescue him from custody. The G ncral had the Judge himself arrested and sent beyond his lines. But authentic news of peace was received two days after, and martial law aboHshcd The Judge returned and icsumed his functions He immediately summoned Jackson to appear before him, to atmv r for contempt in not obeying the writ and imprisoning the Judge. Tl c General prepared a statement of facts ia vindication, which the Judc rcfiuvd to
