WINCHESTER: SJITURDJir, .May -25lh, IB2«. J.xtract of a letter from the Comul of the Unl ted Statet at Fayal, to hit friend in Wine he: ter, dated 28fA .March 1822. “ The political state of Portugal, is, I be lisve, daily becoming more and more consoli dated. A considerable change has taken place in the Government of these Islands, of very little importance to the rest of the world, but very interesting an»l pleasing to us in this I.v IsnJ. A most arbitrary Governor General and Junta, established at Terceira. have, for centu* rics past, governed a II these Islands ; they are BOW divided into three districts ; St .Michael's, Terceira and Fayal are the three capitals, or chief places; The first has St. .Mary's attach ed to it ; Terceira has St. George and Gracia :a j and Fayal has Pico, Flores, Coir a annexed to it This last is the most commercial ami important of them all; our cbiei town, called Porta, or Garden, is to become u citv, and great ameliorations are expected to arise from this new s'ate of things. W'e have upwards of sixty thousand inhabitants, and send two deputies to the Cortes. Th.s town contains ! about eight thousand persons. “ Flour is so cheap in America, that in the districts where that article is the staple, and where I should naturally look for the best customers, for my choice wine, they cannot af ford to drink it. Nor do 1 see any prospect, ! for a long time to com.', that the nations of | Europe will set about cutting each others throats, to assist the Ff>ur dealers and me lt is true, the Greeks are so engaged, that a I part ial failure of the Grain crop in Spain or Portugal might help us k little ; but 1 consi der a market in Europe for bur surplus 1-1 j of bread stuff, aa almost hopeless, $; should re joice to see measoras taken in the U. States, to consume a part of the surplus, and diminish the residue, by appropriating a part of the wheat lands to the culture of Flax and Hemp, the raising of Sheep, &.c. tc- and thus cease to be subjected to the caprice of the persons, or 1 Governments of Europe.’* IMPORTANT OF WHEAT. The Vulcan, wldch arrived here yesterday from Liverpool, brought as part of her cargo a quantity of English ivhrnt, which it is said will bring a profit in our market. This cir* ciinisiaiice is conclusive as to the abundance ul grain in England, and shuts out all hopes ut the ports there being opened for our bread stud's. The most recent accounts represent the prospect of an abundant harvest through out Hri'ain to be very great, and if something ;s not done to protect the agricultural inter ests of this country, we ate much afraid that they will suffer materially by this new sort of importation. It would certainly be a singular occurrence if our congress should he compel led 10 resort to the ‘corn laws.*—[Jl'. T. Jidv. We are this moment informed, (says the Philadelphia Democratic Press o> Saturd .y the 18lh inst:) by a gentleman, that on his way to our >ffi.'e he w»s told that Col, Cumnungs and Mr. M’Duffie had met and fought at one p.ice distance, and lint they were both aho* dead a*, the first fire. We sincerely hope that this re port is without foundation* From the Alexandria Gazette of .May 18. ANOTHER DUEL. A duel took place in \V shngi.n on Monday evening last, between Mr. Cooke, ..f the United States’ Navy, and M”. William Gibson, of ‘he Treasury depar mem. > he «*-cond 9hot prov ed ialal to Mr Cooke* the b.dl entering his righ* side, just above the hip bone. When will there be treasures taken by our Government to prevent the loss of so many valuable officers \ When will men discard the mwtierous idea of setting themselves up as Tar gets to hr siiot at ? || would be needless to recount the many valuable * * Mi r ers* who have lately fallen victims to this barbarous prrctice. We would call to mind a Decatur, the bright C3t s’ar in tlie American naval annals. Not long since, we had to record the death of joung Worthington, who fell a sacrifice to .he phret.zied ambition nf honor. We would ask, who are to s-nsty for the many tears which have trickled down the cheeks of the almost comfortless parents, sisters and brothers, for these outrageous transactions against the laws of Go» and humanity. \eiD~ York.

Gazelle of May 13. i IMPORTANT—FROM CANTON. | We subjoin a letter from Canton, with which we have been obligingly favored by a commercial friend._It announces a serious rupture between the British and Chinese, the couse nueuces or which cannot be readily foreseen. The situation of the place is described by other letters, as truly de. plorable. The withdrawal of the Brit, i-h, with all their treasure, had occa sioned a complete suspension of trade. I ne lower classes of people were Qutrageous aguiust the Vice Roy, thinking that lie had cnmpromit ted the honor of tile Chinese Empire, by y ield ing two of his strongest poiuts in his demand*, and by his enodesceudiug to seud deputations down the river, beg ging the British to return and resume their trade. It was generally suppo sed, that when the Emperor should he informed of the conduct of the Vice itoy, and ot the concessions he had of fered t>» the British, that he would or der him to ho decapitated These ad vices are received by the Ger. Hamil ton arrived at Providence, It. I. LATER. STILL From the Providence Journal. The ship General Hamilton, Bacon, arri* ved at this port -m the 18.h msl. 112 days from Canton. We are indebted to the po. ii'euesj of the S toe'-cargo, Mr Wm Cooke, for ihe foil >wing in'cl'Lence. Who the news reached Canton, '.hat the Britt h frigate had firrd upon and trilled sev. *’r*' Chine.e, tlmy, as usual * i such cates, dema ided an ,q ni number ol English to be delivered to ;h- m. 'o be put to death. This w»» irfused on the part of the English. The tr.de was imm dialely stopped. Deiermin* ed not to give up their men, as demanded, the company, ( up-reargoes) resolved to quit the factory, and lake refuge en board their ships The Chin-se did no' believe, at first, 'hat *hey were serioa*, and concluded that they were only making a IVini. Finding, however, hat their flag was struck, and that their wives and families had left M&cca, tl*t the treasure was earmarked, and all the ship ping had dropp'd d »wn to the second bar, they became seriou-ly alarmed. The Vice Roy had gone so far ■*» to promise that the trvde might g« on a* hefote, on condition, that when the English ships sh >uld have ar rived in their own country, they should relate the affair to their sovereign, and ‘“next year,” ■ h-y might bring the specified number of hngddimen, to bo butchered according to their absurd law* 'Two day* before the Genneral Hamilton sailed, the Hong merchants, in a body, had gone down to etide*vor to svttie matter*,- but, at the time of sailing, no settle mem had ta ken place. The Uriruh supercargoes have behaved with the greatest firmness and resolution, and seem determined to protect tin ir country* men from those unjust laws which cornider an accidental homicide as equal to a deitber* ate murder. The Editor of the jY^tr York Daily jUverliser speak* of the administration of law in mir country, a* b-ing too niucli (ike that of the English, and en_ tangled in a “web of forms.” To b • *ure, die " %/orious uncertainty of the. law” is *(.nietwres a iitile inconveni ent to tlio*e, who are cuvpeiled to re sort to practitioner* of it—but then, simplifying it would injure the whole concern, and member* have a right to reply iu any question on the reasons of the established forma wi'li Sir John Pats'ajf, *» ’ I’is my vocation, Hal ; wouldn’t thou nut have a man labor in his vocation ?
